Chapter 273: The Younger Sister-in-law's Marriage
Days passed slowly, and before long it was already November.
After October ended, Chen Pingsheng's account was still lying with 2.5 billion in cash, and that remained even after buying a private jet for 700 million.
It was simply impossible to spend it all.
His wife also had nearly 2 billion on her side, which Song Yanxi was planning to take to Xiangjiang to purchase commercial real estate and open Water Cloud Space.
No one could touch her money; it was guarded very closely.
After the family entrepreneurship support plan started, its significance to both Chen and Song families was self-evident.
Chen Pingsheng also received good news from Zhao Liying in Magic City; she even made a special trip to report to him.
It was time for her to get married given her age.
Back in February, Tengying Entertainment had invested in a big-budget historical drama, with Zhao Liying as the lead actress.
Her relationship with the male lead had developed quite well, and they both had plans to get married.
Chen Pingsheng sent his timely blessings, as a thirty-year-old spinster really should get married sooner rather than later.
Speaking of which, his wife had something to say; she had been busy for a while with her little sister's blind date issue.
In the end, they let her find someone on her own, as Song Yanxi only had this one younger sister, and he only had this one sister-in-law.
Both of them took her love life rather seriously.
When Song Yanxi came back, she even said to him, "Honey, Liying is about to get married. We can't let little sis be without a partner, right?"
"She's only from '91, you don't need to be that hurried!"
"How can I not be worried? Look at how old An'an was when I was her age."
Song Yanxi thought about Zhao Liying getting married soon and felt that her sister also needed to step it up.
After all, women over thirty are considered to be of advanced maternal age, and not to mention the risks of childbirth, by the time the child grows up a bit, the parents would be in their fifties or sixties.
That's not good at all.
Chen Pingsheng felt the same; his sister Chen Qi's family was stable now, and her child would soon be a hundred days old.
It was indeed time to take his little sister-in-law's marital affairs seriously.
"No matter how much you rush, you can't expect me, your brother-in-law, to step in and urge her, right? You make the call yourself!"
Chen Pingsheng still didn't really want to get involved, mainly because it was beyond his control.
Song Yanxi called Song Wu, telling her to come home immediately.
Song Wu had become a big star in the entertainment industry, and had to be wary of the paparazzi wherever she went.
It was quite inconvenient, but here in Tan Palace, no paparazzi dared to sneak in for photos.
Snapping photos of stars is one thing; trying to expose a tycoon's privacy, well, one could lose their job before the news even broke.
Everyone who could afford to buy a house here was a big shot.
Song Wu had even secretly found a boyfriend, primarily afraid that her brother-in-law and sister wouldn't approve.
After all, from the beginning, they had clearly opposed finding someone from the entertainment industry.
If she told them, it would definitely be doomed.
When her elder sister called, she had to return home.
Song Wu ended her trip to Xiangjiang and flew straight to Magic City. By the time she arrived, it was already four in the afternoon.
Song Yanxi wore a pair of large sunglasses and lay comfortably under an old tree in the backyard, taking a beauty nap.
Only after Song Wu arrived did she say, "Little sister, you're getting older, should I get you a calendar to remind you?" Continue your story on empire
"I know, sis, you wouldn't call me back just for this, would you?"
"Actually, I did."
Song Yanxi took off her sunglasses and gave her a look, "You're a twenty-six-year-old spinster now. Where's your partner? If you don't plan to marry soon, I'll be on my third child before you even have a wedding."
"Sis, you're pregnant with your third child?"
"Almost, I feel like it's there but haven't gone for a check-up yet."
Song Yanxi said helplessly, "Don't blame your sister for urging you every day, your mom and mine are now also pressing me for a third child every day. With our family situation, not having a boy definitely won't please, especially your mom."
Your mom referred to Liu Fen, while my mom referred to Peng Ying.
The two old ladies were tough, actually teaming up to urge her for a third child.
Song Yanxi herself was quite keen on having another one, but whether Little Third would be a boy or not was uncertain.
Song Wu giggled and congratulated her, then casually added, "Sis, you're definitely going to have a boy this time."
"Never mind that, my husband won't mind whatever I give birth to, it's just that I really want to have another boy."
Song Yanxi still took her responsibilities as an elder sister very seriously.
"But Little Wu, you always said you wanted to be a big star, and your brother-in-law made that dream come true for you. Now it's time to consider what our parents want, right?"
"If you still don't plan to marry in two more years, then it won't just be me coming to urge you."
Song Wu hung her head; after giving it some thought, she finally admitted she had found a boyfriend.
A male celebrity in the entertainment industry with rather low fame at the moment.
He was a third-tier actor, and his family seemed to be in business too.
Song Wu hadn't really looked into it much.
Song Yanxi had a headache. One sister in the entertainment industry was already quite something, finding an entertainment industry brother-in-law would be even less reliable.
If it really came to that, their family would be in the news over every little thing.
"You go tell your brother-in-law yourself, and if you really like him and want to marry him, then bring him over to meet us first."
Song Wu didn't dare to approach Chen Pingsheng herself with this matter.
She could only beg her sister to step in; if it weren't for her age, she wouldn't have agreed under any circumstance.
The marriages of those who are older sometimes inherently lower expectations and standards, even including their parents and relatives unconsciously.
It starts with finding someone from a good family.
Then it becomes enough to find someone with good character.
Eventually, it just comes down to as long as they are of the opposite sex.
Just get married, my living ancestors.
In many families, this is how parents gradually hope for their children to get married.
