Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: Sending the Rest of My Life from Afar (42)
Six months later, the Yu family sent out invitations, inviting people within the circle to attend a banquet.
The theme of the banquet was unclear, but since it was hosted by the Yu family, everyone felt obliged to attend and arrived in droves.
Yu Wei, as a member of the Yu family, although not the organizer of this banquet, had to participate in the reception as a member of the Yu family.
In six months, Yu Wei had gained some enigmatic qualities, making him even more inscrutable.
“Second Lord, the Family Head asks you to come over.”
As soon as Yu Wei had finished welcoming a guest, someone came to invite him.
Yu Wei tidied his clothes, smiled gently, and followed the person.
Yu Jin was waiting for him alone in the room, a bottle of wine opened on the table, already poured, with one glass in Yu Jin’s hand, and another on the table.
Yu Wei’s gaze circled around the bottle of wine before he walked over: “Fifth Brother.”
“Have a seat.” Yu Jin remained in his lazy manner, not even lifting his eyelids.
This appearance seemed quite arrogant to Yu Wei.
However, since he was now the head of the Yu family, arrogance was to be expected.
Yu Wei was much smarter than Yu Kai. Ever since Yu Kai’s disappearance, he hadn’t made any moves, quietly serving as the Yu family’s second young master… no, now he should be the second Lord.
This banquet today was organized by Yu Jin.
Calling him here at this time would probably not be a good thing, perhaps there was something in the wine…
“Second Brother.” Yu Jin supported his chin with his palm: “Let’s split the family.”
“Cough cough…”
Yu Wei choked.
“Fifth Brother, what did you say?”
“From now on, the secret affairs of the Yu family will be yours. The public businesses will be mine. Second Brother, what do you think?”
If we’re talking about making money, it’s definitely the secretive ones.
Those are all hugely profitable.
Now he actually said he wants to give those to him?
What’s this little brat trying to play?
Yu Wei remained indifferent: “Why is Fifth Brother suddenly making such a decision?”
“I don’t want to be involved with those anymore,” Yu Jin said. “She doesn’t like it. I don’t want to fight with you any longer. It’s a waste of time, I want to spend more time with her.”
Yu Wei: “…”
Am I eating a mouthful of dog food here?!
“Fighting me will only end in mutual harm. The conditions I am proposing now, Second Brother, are beneficial and harmless to you. Second Brother, consider them carefully?”
Yu Jin stood up, buttoning his coat: “After the banquet, I hope Second Brother can give me an answer.”
–
The main purpose of this banquet was to announce Yu Jin taking over the Yu family’s public industries. The Old Master of the Yu Family was also in attendance.
Although Yu Jin had been active for a long time, he had not made it public, but everyone had vaguely guessed that the Yu family had a new leader.
Being pushed around, he looked somber, but he remained silent the entire time, as if he consented to this decision.
After attending to the guests, Yu Jin approached the Old Master Yu.
He squatted down, leveling himself with the Old Master.
“Dad, have you been well recently?”
“…”
The Old Master wanted to say something, but couldn’t make a sound.
“Dad, take care of yourself, as long as I’m alive, you won’t die, don’t worry.”
The Old Master widened his eyes, a ‘hoho’ sound coming from his throat.
Yu Jin stood up, instructing the people behind him: “Take the Old Master back.”
Yu Wei stood not far away, watching as the Old Master was pushed past him.
The Old Master suddenly reached out and grabbed Yu Wei’s hand.
Yu Jin stood in the crowd, casually watching him.
Yu Wei slowly loosened the Old Master’s grip, placing it on the wheelchair armrest, smiling: “Dad, take care.”
The Old Master trembled all over, being pushed away, turning his head to look at his two sons as if they were monsters.

Song Yanran was holding onto a man’s arm, with a long face, as if someone owed her money.
The man held her by the waist, lowered his voice in warning: “Song Yanran, who are you giving the cold shoulder to? I’m telling you, if it weren’t for me, your family would be fucking finished by now.”
Song Yanran loathed the man’s hand sliding across her waist.
But she said nothing, responding with silence.
But the man was not satisfied, his hand already moving lower: “Smile for me, who are you mourning for?”
Song Yanran’s hackles raised, as if thinking of something terrifying, forcing out a stiff smile.
The man snorted: “Don’t you dare embarrass me; I might just take care of you right here.”
“…”
Song Yanran felt ice cold.
The man dragged her through the crowd, constantly being offered drinks by others, and he didn’t shield her from them, instead watching her drink with a smirk.
“Ugh…”
Song Yanran leaned over the sink, vomiting.
Her stomach was very upset and even with makeup, she couldn’t cover up the pallor of her face.
Song Yanran threw up for a while, then turned, muddle-headed, unexpectedly bumping into someone.
She blinked to focus, her eyes suddenly lighting up: “Ling… Ling Xu Brother.”
Ling Xu hadn’t expected to run into Song Yanran, frowned at her, then turned to leave.
“Ling Xu Brother, help me!” Song Yanran chased after him, pulling him back.
“We are no longer related, please behave yourself.” Ling Xu withdrew his hand.
“Ling Xu Brother, help me. I truly can’t take it, I…”
Before Song Yanran could finish speaking, a girl came over, linking arms with Ling Xu, speaking softly: “A Xu, I’m not feeling well, can you take me back?”
Ling Xu smoothly embraced the girl’s shoulders: “Alright, let’s go.”
Song Yanran was left behind, watching as the two walked away without looking back at her.
That man should have been hers…
He was hers…
“Song Yanran, huh, impressive.” The man appeared out of nowhere, pinching Song Yanran’s jaw: “What, still trying to seduce Young Master Ling from the Ling family?”
“I wasn’t…”
The man dragged Song Yanran towards the men’s restroom.
“Let me go!” Song Yanran struggled in terror: “Let go of me, don’t do this…”
The man’s strength was much greater than Song Yanran’s, and she couldn’t break free.
After they went inside, Chuzheng emerged from the restroom, washed her hands, dried them, and left.
Yu Jin, at some unknown time, stood waiting for her outside. Seeing her emerge, a smile spread across his face: “Baby, you’re so slow.”
Chuzheng gave him a kiss: “Let’s go.”
Yu Jin, satisfied, embraced her and started introducing her to people one by one.
His serious demeanor effectively intercepted those with thoughts of ‘selling’ their daughters and blocked some girls wanting to approach him.
Spoken for.
And one not to be trifled with.
Who in the circle doesn’t know Chuzheng now?
To approach her when she’s beside Yu Jin, do they want to be buried under money?
Chuzheng saw Song Yanran again when the banquet was about to end.
Song Yanran looked a little disheveled, leaving with the man, the left side of her face swollen, probably from being hit.
Song Yanran suddenly looked up, in the bustling crowd, a girl with the same face as hers, dressed in couture, gazed at her with indifference.
Between them, it seemed there stretched a galaxy.
Never to be crossed again.
She is the star in the sky, she is the mud on the ground.
