Chapter 1329 -1321: Investment Potential

“Hey, why are you looking at me like that?” Yang Yushi squinted her eyes at Song Xiaodong.

“That’s quite a big joke,” Song Xiaodong shook his head, a look of helplessness on his face.

Yang Yushi met Song Xiaodong’s gaze and slowly said, “I’m not joking this time, I’m quite serious about this matter.”

Song Xiaodong’s mouth twitched, “I don’t think I’m so exceptional that you, such a talented woman, would ignore all the other women around me to be with me.”

Yang Yushi’s lips curled into a cute smile, “But I’ve never met a man who could make my heart move.”

“Yushi, if you had these thoughts about me a year ago, I would have been overjoyed, it would have been an honor. But now, I’m more realistic, I have to consider my family’s feelings, balance the relations at home. A woman like you entering my family would definitely disrupt our balance. Even if we had feelings, I wouldn’t dare let you in my door.”

Yang Yushi’s smile deepened, “I’m not a difficult person to get along with. Plus, I won’t compete with them.”

“It’s not about whether you want to or not. Your status and talent will naturally make my family feel inferior. That way, you can’t get along well with them, and the household relationships won’t be good. I cannot allow that to happen.”

Yang Yushi looked at Song Xiaodong, just looking, the smile on her face growing wider. After a moment she said, “I initially had thirty percent interest in you, but now my interest is at fifty percent.”

“Sigh, you’re teasing me again, it’s not fun,” Song Xiaodong shook his head.

“I’m really not teasing. I’m serious. Earlier, I was considering it from a long-term perspective, thinking about betting on your future and the greatest benefits of us being together.”

“An investment?” Song Xiaodong felt exasperated yet amused.

Yang Yushi did not deny it, “You could say that. Maybe it’s a professional habit, I always consider gains and losses. In my view, being with you would certainly bring me great benefits.”

“This…” Song Xiaodong rolled his eyes.

Yang Yushi smiled sweetly, “I know it can’t be pleasant to hear. However, I feel that besides the benefits, my emotions play a significant part too.”

“Emotional?” Song Xiaodong looked at Yang Yushi, puzzled.

Yang Yushi’s smile grew sweeter, “Right, you know, for us investors, emotions are a no-go. Yet, if you can make me want to be with you, disregarding gains and losses, it shows you have a big attraction for me.”

Song Xiaodong looked at Yang Yushi, a smile forming on his face, “Yushi, for you, that’s rare indeed. But for me, it’s far from enough. Maybe you think I should feel honored, but for me, it’s more like an insult, so… if we want to be friends, let’s not bring this up again.”

As he spoke, Song Xiaodong’s expression turned inexplicably serious.

Yang Yushi looked at Song Xiaodong in surprise; she hadn’t expected him to say such a thing, it didn’t fit her imagination.

Song Xiaodong’s words had deeply shocked her. Taking a deep breath, she showed an apologetic expression, “Xiaodong, I’m really sorry, I was still approaching you with a sense of superiority, thinking my strong family background and investment talent made you fortunate to have me, with all those women in your family. However… it was all my delusion, my narrow-minded thinking.”

After a pause, Yang Yushi resumed smiling, “I hope this doesn’t affect us continuing as friends.”

Song Xiaodong also smiled, “Being friends is no problem, I’d be glad to have a friend like you. I might even rely on you to get rich one day.”

Yang Yushi’s smile became even more radiant, “Great, I’ll certainly pull you in next time I invest, you better not say no then.”

“I couldn’t ask for more,” Song Xiaodong extended his hand to Yang Yushi.

“Thank you for giving me face,” Yang Yushi took hold of Song Xiaodong’s hand, her delicate palm giving a slight squeeze.

“Patriarch Song!” A member of the He family came running over, seeing Song Xiaodong and Yang Yushi holding hands, at least from his angle, they were, it left him a bit stunned.

He also knew Yang Yushi. Among the Three Great Talented Ladies of Beijing, Yang Yushi was the most publicly visible and familiar to everyone.

Seeing her holding hands with the He family’s son-in-law, and on this joyous day of engagement, it felt quite bizarre to him.

Song Xiaodong and Yang Yushi separated their hands, “Is it time?”

The He family member lowered his head, respectfully saying, “Almost, please, Patriarch Song, head to the front.”

Song Xiaodong nodded, “Alright, I’ll head over immediately.”

The He family member quickly stepped back, careful not to delay Song Xiaodong and Yang Yushi’s matters.
