CHAPTER 735 NOT THE SAME ANYMORE
"Don't worry, Brother Ning! We didn't see any women at all!" declared Li Dong with a serious face.
Li Dong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Ning nod satisfactorily.
He wasn't sure if he was afraid of Jiang Ning or if Jiang Ning was afraid of Lin Yuzhen.
How could such an incredibly tough man be so afraid of his wife?
Meanwhile.
At the Song house.
The Song family had been the hot topic of the north recently.
If Lin Group hadn't taken away most of the attention with their breakthrough to the north, their attention would still be focused on the Song family now.
Nobody expected the Song family to go through such a huge change. The family originally suffered severe losses and were about to drop out from the list of second tier families when they suddenly made a turn around and became even stronger than before!
That was because the current head of the Song family, Song Xiaoyu, was simply too aggressive.
Song Xiaoyu was seated on the seat reserved for the head of the family in the main hall. He no longer had that childish look on his face.
His face now exuded steadiness, determination and decisiveness. His eyes were sharp and there was a glint of viciousness in them.
"Is everything good to go?" Song Xiaoyu read through the itinerary that his assistant passed to him very seriously.
"Everything is prepared, Master Song."
The assistant looked very cautious and didn't dare to be careless at all.
Song Xiaoyu used to be very easygoing.
Even if he made a mistake, he would just get ticked off.
But now, even the smallest mistake could result in serious consequences.
He might even lose his life.
Now the entire Song family was extremely careful and cautious when they did anything, which made the Song house very different from before.
"Have you invited everybody who should be invited?" asked Song Xiaoyu.
Tve done everything according to your arrangements. The young masters of the Wu family, Zhou family and the like have all been invited. Given your current standing, I'm sure they will all turn up."
Song Xiaoyu's expression changed and immediately fell at the last part.
The assistant immediately knew he had said the wrong thing.
"My current standing?" Song Xiaoyu scoffed. "I'm just a lowly and inadequate person. What standing could I have?"
"Master Song, I..." The assistant began to panic.
"I tell you, the north is not just a complex group of small and large powers, but also a place where many powers hide in secret," Song Xiaoyu's voice got colder and colder. "If you take one wrong step or make one wrong decision, you might never get back on your feet again."
He glared at his assistant and his gaze was icy cold.
"You'd better remember this well. Get back to work.”
"Yes, Master Song!"
The assistant breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that Song Xiaoyu wasn't going to punish him. But his respect for Song Xiaoyu was even greater now.
All the heads of other powerful families thought that they were of high standing and they were all conceited people.
But Song Xiaoyu always placed himself at the lowest position and he hated it the most when others said that he was in a high position of power.
He had never seen any head of the family behave like this!
Song Xiaoyu remained seated in the hall. The grim look on his face never lightened up at all.
He knew better than anyone else that the people facing the greatest danger now were those so called powerful families!
Those supposedly supremely powerful families!
Because someone was going to change the way things worked here!
Every time he thought of Jiang Ning, he would remind himself about how terrifying this man was and how he must never become an enemy of Jiang Ning. Even if he had to die, he must not become enemies with Jiang Ning. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
And now he even had the chance to become friends with Jiang Ning.
Even if they were just cooperative partners, that would already be considered the best thing that happened to the Song family in the last few decades.
Song Xiaoyu shut his eyes and started to think about everything that had happened during this period of time. He had revealed the power and the trump cards he had been holding onto secretly for more than ten years and gained full control of the Song family.
But the future of the Song family was still an unknown.
He needed new trump cards.
He needed one invincible trump card that could allow the Song family to live peacefully for the next hundred years!
Jiang Ning!
Some people genuinely wanted to be friends. Some people were friends just to exchange benefits. And some people were friends only on the surface, but were secretly rivals.
But no matter which sort of friendship it was going to be, Song Xiaoyu was clear on one thing. He had to be friends with Jiang Ning and never an enemy.
Because any enemy of Jiang Ning's was definitely going to die.
"This time, I will seize the opportunity to prove my value to you." He opened his eyes again and they were filled with determination. "I know what you want to do, and I can help you!"
The invitation from the Song family had caused quite a stir among the younger generation of the powerful families in the north.
Nobody in this circle of children born into wealthy families had any impression of talking about Song Xiaoyu from the Song family. Some of them had never even heard of this fellow before.
But in a short time, Song Xiaoyu's name was so well known, it was hard for them not to know who he was.
Many of the elders in their families would nod and praise him whenever there was mention of Song Xiaoyu. They would say, "I didn't expect this young fellow to be this impressive!”
So there were many who were more than willing to turn up to a party hosted by Song Xiaoyu.
But everyone had a different motive for going.
Especially the two powerful families behind the last two gantries that fell in the north - the Wu family and the Zhou family!
