"Mr. Song! Ai ya, I finally get to see you!" A stout, middle-aged man carrying a glass of white wine came forward. He smiled and said, "I'd been meaning to have Mr. Zhou introduce us all this time, but everyone's been so busy. I didn't think that we'd bump into each other today!"
Even though he was already a middle-aged man, Song Guochao took good care of his body. Right now, with a smile on his face, he looked cultured and refined. "It's my fault that we haven't been able to meet until now. Allow me to dedicate this toast to you, Mr. Huang."
Mr. Huang waved his hand. He then downed his glass of white wine before Song Guochao could drink his own. "No need. It is my honour to meet you today. There's no need for you to toast to me."
"Old Huang's right. It's our honour to be with you today. Come, everyone! Here's to Mr. Song!" Several people came over. One person smiled at Song Guochao, a glass of wine in hand: "Mr. Song, drink up!"
Song Guochao accepted the glass and smiled back. "Let's drink together casually. No need to toast me."
After a few rounds of drinks, the group of middle-aged men, who had been politely distant a moment ago, were now calling each other "brothers." They were no longer as careful with their words as they had been in the beginning. One of the men said, "Song ge, ah, I really envy the fact that you have two good sons. Look at my sons. I'm ready to light incense and thank the Buddha if they manage to not worry me for just one day."
"That's right," Someone else chimed in, "Your older son has a steady personality while your younger son is clever. One guards the company while the other helps the family expand. If I had children like that...just imagining it is enough to make me smile."
"Exactly. I don't even dare imagine what the Xiao Family's banquet will be like. When the time comes, Old Song, you'll have to come back and tell us about it. Share with us what that world is like. In the future, remember us when you're looking for business partners, ah."
"Returning to the previous topic, Old Song really taught his two sons well. Old Song, how about you give us some advice? I still have time to guide my youngest son."
Song Guochao's smile froze upon hearing these words. The conversation made him recall how his relationship with Song Xuanhe was not at all like how they thought it was. A few days ago, Song Xuanhe had even moved out and clearly expressed that he absolutely would not attend the Xiao Family's banquet.
"Old Song, why are you so quiet?" Mr. Huang laughed, "Come on, tell me quickly how I should raise my son. Teach us your ways."
Mr. Huang had only recently moved his business to the Capital. He didn't know about what had happened with regards to the Song Family a few months ago. Therefore, he had no clue that Song Xuanhe and Song Guochao had a strained relationship. He had simply said this, because he thought that the other would feel good if he heard his son being praised. After all, if it was him, hearing someone else compliment his son definitely would have made him happy. That was why he had done his utmost to praise Song Xuanhe and Song Xuanlin. He wanted to use this as a chance to get closer to Song Guochao.
However, even if Mr. Huang didn't know about the relationship between the Song Family members, the others did. In the beginning, they had also praised Song Xuanhe with Mr. Huang, because they had wanted to see if the relationship between Song Xuanhe and Song Guochao was really as terrible as rumoured. That's why no one had stopped him. Song Guochao's current expression gave them the answer.
"Ai ya, we came out here to relax and drink. What are we talking about our kids for? Old Huang, you shouldn't have done that. Come on, have another drink."
