Chapter 307 - 222: Family Trivialities



Song Wu was called into her sister Song Yanxi’s room.

She cried her eyes out, her eyes swelling red from berating, which had already subsided.

Experience tales at empire

But Liu Fen went on to scold her again.

In ancient times, a woman’s marriage was equivalent to a second birth.

Whether it was good or not directly determined the quality of life thereafter.

How could they not seize the opportunity to scold Song Wu?

A backstabber is even worse than a lecher.

Nine out of ten men are lecherous, and the tenth simply can’t get a real beauty.

Chen Pingsheng sat on the front steps again, with the spoiled brat Chen An’an coming to join him.

"Dad, I really understand you."

"What do you understand?"

"The feeling of being lonely and having so much money you can’t spend it all, I kind of get it."

Chen An’an was pretending to be mature again, but Chen Pingsheng didn’t buy it.

The brat had just received her monthly allowance of two hundred thousand and spent it all on a new erhu.

The price was exactly two hundred thousand.

After her splurge that day, she was destined to pinch pennies for the rest of the month.

Pretending she couldn’t spend all her money, it was clear she was angling for more.

Chen Pingsheng certainly couldn’t agree; he didn’t expect her to cultivate the good habit of saving money.

But at least she should spend money with a plan, unlike now, where she spends a whole month’s allowance in one day.

For the rest of the month, she’d have to make do with just three meals a day.

"Indeed, I have money to spare."

Chen Pingsheng said wistfully, "There’s only four or five billion left in the account, and next month I need to pay the deposit for the super yacht. You think it’s easy being your dad?"

"Dad, are you really buying a super yacht?"

Chen An’an was excited; she had mentioned it casually last time but didn’t expect it could really come true!

"Bought it. It’ll take at least three years before it’s delivered. What’s there to be excited about now?"

"Oh, oh, oh."

Even so, Chen An’an was still very happy.

She asked about her auntie Song Wu, and Chen Pingsheng told her the truth without much surprise.

She had plenty of classmates who fawned over her at the international school, not to mention her auntie was right within the circle her father looked after.

There was nothing outrageous, only more outrageous.

After dinner was ready, the family still had to come out to eat.

Song Wu was now behaving; after her brother-in-law had shooed people away that way, she wouldn’t dare to chase after anyone.

She was as docile as a little kitten, quietly licking her own wounds.

Song Yanxi was actually troubled too; her sister was even more difficult than Chen Qi had been.

Their family definitely disagreed with her joining the entertainment industry, and there didn’t seem to be a suitable match outside of it.

She still needed to introduce her to some reliable people.

That night, Song Yanxi tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Chen Pingsheng patted her on the butt, "What are you doing? You’ve let all the warmth escape."

"Isn’t it because I’m worried about Little Wu?"

"What’s there to worry about? In modern society, who hasn’t had a few boyfriends?"

"It’s not your sister, so you don’t care, right?"

"How could I not? Let’s sleep, let’s sleep. I’m telling you, that Chen An’an, she spent her entire month’s allowance on the first day, and today she even tried to subtly ask for more from me. You can’t indulge her!"

"I know, I know. You don’t need to remind me. But she did spend all that money on a Small Erhu she loves. Should we consider giving her a bit more?" Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"You must be joking. If she can spend a month’s allowance in one day now, she might be able to spend a year’s worth in a day in the future. She absolutely cannot develop such a bad habit."

Chen Pingsheng felt that the number of people who lived paycheck to paycheck was growing, mainly because they had no concept of money.

They always thought they would get more once it runs out.

Little do they know, when the time comes that they really need it, they’ll understand the importance of money.

The situation with Chen An’an was different; after she came of age, she would inherit the rent from Tengchao Commercial Management.

Billions in rent each year into her hands alone; if she continued to spend money without a plan, no amount would be enough.

Song Yanxi, distracted by his conversation, stopped thinking about her sister’s issues.

When you have no money, you want to earn it; but once you have it, you realize there are still many disappointments in life.

Like her own sister bringing home that boyfriend.

That month, they also had to prepare for the Splendid Night at Water Cloud Space, and Song Yanxi was actually quite busy.

This year’s Splendid Night was undoubtedly going to be much bigger than last year’s.

The whole gala would be presented in the form of an ultra-luxury cocktail party.

Song Yanxi asked him, "Which star did you actually invite?"

It was about time to announce the lineup of stars.

Chen Pingsheng simply said Mars.

The Grammy Award-winning Best Pop Male Singer of 2011, a true global superstar.

With such a megastar, inviting one or two would be enough.

To get him to come, Chen Pingsheng spent a whopping sixty million, more expensive than the Four Great Singers combined.

After all, the man was a true global superstar.

Besides him, there was also Taylor Swift, a world-famous superstar.

With the same sixty million fee, it took a full half a year to secure her.

With these two on board, other domestic stars were but minor players.

It wasn’t to belittle those pop stars in the Chinese entertainment industry, but compared to world-class top performers, the gap was significant.

Song Yanxi was surprised, but then she calmed down.

With both of them appearing at the same gala, it was unprecedented for the beauty industry in China, not to mention being sensational online.

The next day,

Song Yanxi told Liu Fen not to give the spoiled brat any more money.

Just let her bring some snacks to school every day. Chen An’an huffed. She wasn’t without ways to make money.

Carrying her Small Erhu and the big golden bowl, she had plenty of valuable things.

There was a clear rule in the family: things bought could not be pawned off privately.

And she listened to her mother.

The old lady Peng Ying took her to school in the Koenigsegg grocery car.
