Fortunately, while the two were in a stalemate, Song Shi came in from outside holding Tang Yao's hand.

Tang Yao came in and greeted Yan Yici.

"Come and see Chu Yan?"

"Ok!"

Seeing that Tang Yao and Yan Yici seemed to know each other, Song Manman stood aside and listened to their conversation silently.

"Sister Manman, this is Yan Yici, the eldest daughter of the Yan family. The Yan family mainly runs a cloth business in Country F, and is also an old family."

While Yan Yici and Song Shi were greeting each other, Tang Yao came up to Song Manman and explained Yan Yici's identity.

The Manqing Group's business covers many areas. Although the clothing business does not account for the largest share, it is also the mainstay of Manqing's revenue. It will always be useful for Song Manman to make more connections.

Song Manman also knew that Tang Yao was thinking about her company, so after listening to Tang Yao's introduction, Song Manman nodded in understanding.

After Song Shi greeted Yan Yici, he did not get overly polite with Yan Yici, but helped Yan Yici carry the gifts for the children.

Carrying the things Yan Yici brought over, Song Shi smiled and teased, "Sister-in-law, you've spent a lot of money here. Just these gifts must be Old Fu's pocket money for many months!"

Yan Yici snorted lightly, with a bit of anger on her face, and said: "Giving him pocket money is a waste, letting him spend it recklessly. It's better to buy more things for the children!"

Thinking of Fu Zichen, Yan Yici couldn't help but frown slightly.

Although Fu Zichen is now a man who cares about his stable family, Yan Yici becomes furious whenever she thinks of Fu Zichen's reputation before he got married.

Because of Fu Zichen's past, Yan Yici has been ridiculed by the sisters-in-law of the Fu family over the years.

As for making Yici unhappy, the most direct way is to reduce Fu Zichen’s pocket money.

When Song Shi heard this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, with a hint of gloating in his laughter, "Hahaha, there's nothing wrong with what you said, sister-in-law. I absolutely support you."

As he spoke, Song Shi also winked in Tang Yao's direction, like a puppy trying to be nice to its owner.

Tang Yao glanced at Song Shi and said in a cold tone: "I agree too. Our family should do the same in the future."

Song Manman glanced at Song Shi, who looked pale, and raised her eyebrows and said, "Yaoyao, I support you."

After saying that, Song Manman's mouth corners slightly raised, and a playful light flashed in her eyes.

Hearing Song Manman's words, Yan Yici couldn't help but smile with her hands covering her lips.

Tang Yao took Song Manman's arm, leaned against her intimately, and said: "I knew that Sister Manman is the best."

Tang Yao's face was filled with a smile of happiness and satisfaction. After marrying into the Song family, she had never suffered any grievances. No matter what happened, her mother-in-law, aunts, and sisters-in-law were all on her side, which also led to her speaking without so many concerns.

But she didn't really want to deduct Song Shi's pocket money, she was just joking.

In the evening, Yan Yici invited people to dinner at the Song family.

When she walked into the restaurant and saw the dishes on the Song family's table, Yan Yici couldn't help but be shocked.

Before she came, she had inquired about the living conditions here and the situation of the Song family. She thought that the Song family was just an ordinary family, so when she saw that the dishes of the Song family were much more sumptuous than those of the Fu family, she couldn't help but be surprised.

"This is really rich." Yan Yici couldn't help but exclaimed, with a hint of disbelief in her voice.

Because she was more familiar with Tang Yao, Yan Yici came up to Tang Yao and whispered, "Yaoyao, your family's living conditions are really good. The food here is better than I thought."

Yan Yici lowered her voice, as if she was afraid that her exclamation would seem inappropriate.

Tang Yao smiled disapprovingly and said, "This is not a sumptuous meal, it's just some home-cooked dishes. Yici, please don't be polite and eat more."

Tang Yao's smile was sincere and natural, as if she was already accustomed to such dishes.

It’s not that she was showing off, but Tang Yao really felt that this table of food was nothing.

There were only a few of them here today, and there were only a few dishes on the table, which was quite restrained.

If all the Song family members were present, or even half of them, there wouldn't be enough food to fit on the table.

In addition, Tang Yao has attended the Song family's New Year's Eve dinner for several years, so she is even more indifferent to the dishes served on weekdays.

After all, the Song family’s New Year’s Eve dinner included all eight major cuisines, as well as a lot of cakes and desserts. The scene was truly eye-catching.

Hearing Tang Yao say that they were just some home-cooked dishes, Yan Yici couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Her gaze returned to the table full of delicacies, looking at the soft stewed beef brisket with tomatoes, potatoes, and the temptingly fragrant pork ribs and corn soup, the bright red braised pork with preserved vegetables, the crystal clear boiled shrimps, the refreshing stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and the cold-boiled preserved eggs.

Not only is the food delicious, but even the presentation is very particular, which makes people's appetite increase just by looking at it.

Yan Yici couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of the information she had heard when she came here.

However, thinking about Song Shi's company and Tang Yao's identity, Yan Yici found a reason in her mind for giving the Song family such good food.

She knew that Song Shi's company was well-known in the industry, with business spread all over the country and huge profits.

It is not surprising that Tang Yao enjoys such a wealthy life, regardless of whether she is the eldest daughter of the Tang family or the wife of Song Shi.

After all, when Tang Yao got married, her father and mother prepared a lot of dowry for her, and Tang Yao also received dividends from many of the Tang family's businesses.

These things are enough for Tang Yao to live a life without worries of food and clothing.

But after dinner, when Yan Yici drank the tea that Song Manman made for her, Yan Yici instantly rejected the idea that the Song family lived such a good life because of Song Shi and Tang Yao.

When the cup of tea was served, Yan Yici felt as if she was brought into a peaceful and wonderful world just by smelling the mellow and rich tea aroma.

Picking up the teacup, Yan Yici took a small sip. At that moment, the tea spread on her tongue, and the rich layers and delicate taste made her intoxicated.

Before he could say anything, Yan Yici picked up the teacup again and drank it all in one gulp.

"This tea..." Yan Yici hesitated to speak, her face full of amazement and confusion.

This kind of high-quality tea is rare even in a top-notch family like the Fu family, but the Song family used it to entertain her.

Either the Song family treated her as an extremely distinguished guest, or it was because of the Song family's strong financial resources. The former was obviously impossible, but Yan Yici had some self-awareness, so it could only be the latter.
