The three children were looking at their respective rooms at this time, so after Chu Cichen closed the door, he turned around and sat next to Shen Ruojing, listening to Shen Xiansong talk about the difficulties that the Shen family was facing.
Shen Xiansong sighed: "Jingjing may not know, but Cichen should have heard of it. There are some ancient families in this world. They are in charge of the economic lifeline of the entire world. What they are best at is making money. After After hundreds or even thousands of years of accumulation, it is hard to overstate how rich the family is that it rivals the country."
Chu Cichen nodded: "There are three such big families in the world. I know that one of them once started his career in a bank. When the family's business was at its peak, their banks opened all over the world, but they gradually became low-key."
Shen Xiansong nodded: "The average wealthy family will end up with a fortune of hundreds of billions, but their core interests cannot be touched, so there are very few people who know them.
They control the global economic trend. When a family's wealth has accumulated to a certain level, if it wants to move forward, it must obtain their consent.
The four major families in Kyoto have chosen one of the three families to rely on, and they have secured their business status as the four major families in China."
Shen Ruojing immediately asked: "Which one?"
Shen Xiansong said slowly: "The royal family of country A."
Shen Ruojing was slightly startled.
Country A is located on the border of China. It is a constitutional monarchy. All policies of the country are subject to the king. It occupies a small area. It is a very small country on the earth. It is usually very inconspicuous. However, I did not expect that the royal family of country A is actually the king. One of the three giants in charge of the global economy?
Shen Ruojing understood, but didn't seem to quite understand: "What's the difference between this ordinary business marriage?"
Shen Ruojing pricked up his ears and was about to listen when the hurried footsteps of the butler outside the door came directly in. There was even a hint of panic in the butler's voice: "Master, that, that lady is here!"
Shen Ruojing tensed his chin.
Shen Ruojing vaguely remembered that when the common people of country A saw the royal family, they would prostrate themselves and bow down...
In fact, both husband and wife in a business marriage are relatively fair, but when making contributions, there is a feeling of master and slave.
Chu Cichen's eyes were filled with chills at this moment. He understood the situation facing the Shen family.
What my grandfather described in a few words was a life that a woman cannot choose.
She hesitated and asked, "What kind of deal does the Shen family have with them?"
Shen Xiansong said, "But you don't have to worry too much. I have already negotiated with King A and Queen A. I am willing to give all the profits from the Shen family and their business to cancel this contract."
He originally thought that when the Shen family was handed over to Shen Zhong or Shen Zhong, it would have nothing to do with him, but now his direct descendant Shen Qianhui appeared, and Qianhui just gave birth to a daughter...
The daughter of the Shen family who was sent for marriage must be so helpless and suffocated!
The only choice she can make is to end her life and return the family's training for her!
At this moment, Shen Ruojing finally understood why her grandmother chose to break up with her grandfather, and why she was afraid of being found, so she just threw Shen Qianhui to Haicheng to grow up!
Both grandpa and grandma would rather have their mother be an ordinary person than live like that.
Shen Xiansong spent her whole life unmarried and was able to maintain the happiness of at least two generations of women.
Shen Xiansong sighed: "After the four major families took refuge, the four families' power was balanced at first, but after so many years, they always had to be divided into superiors and inferiors. My father was confused for a while and signed an agreement with the royal family of Country A. They helped the Shen family become the number one family in Kyoto..."
Shen Ruojing asked: "What does the Shen family need to pay?"
He explained Shen Ruojing's doubts: "It's different. An ordinary business marriage is a good marriage between two surnames and ties the relationship between the two families more firmly together. But the relationship between the Shen family and the royal family of Country A is more like... … contribute.”
Shen Xiansong glanced at her.
Shen Xiansong stood up suddenly, her body shaking.
The old man straightened his back: "I will not sell my daughter for glory. Even if the Shen family falls from the first place, so what?!"
Shen Ruojing looked at Chu Cichen without knowing why.
Shen Xiansong lowered her eyes: "Actually, the Shen family has always had business dealings with them. This contract is purely ancillary. In order to terminate this contract with me, I have remained unmarried my whole life. I didn't expect your mother to exist..."
His first reaction was to look at Chu Cichen: "You think highly of Ruo Jing and don't allow her to go out without my permission!"
She couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, the world is developing, but no one can break up the old-school old families? Why should economic development depend on their faces?"
Shen Xiansong nodded: "Country A is a patriarchal society, and women's status is extremely low. My sister is also arrogant, how could she be willing to become a man's accessory? She lived an extremely depressed life, so she chose to end her life. , that is, her death made my father regret it, but the matter is a foregone conclusion and there is no way to change it."
This is a humiliating treaty!
Chu Cichen then looked at Shen Xiansong: "I remember that your sister was sent to find a royal family to become a princess... After that, she lived a depressed life, and finally committed suicide."
Hearing this, Mr. Shen spoke: "The four major families started too early. In those old days, if you wanted to go further, you really had to rely on their promotion. And most of the new rich didn't have enough background. In their eyes, It’s not worth mentioning at all, but it’s not nothing…”
She always thought that people like the four major families in Kyoto would have enough food and clothing and enough money to spend, but she didn't expect that they were still controlled by others.
In a foreign country, as an outsider, she was looked down upon by others and neglected by her husband. The environment she grew up in was different from that abroad. In her world, everyone was equal...
This ancient vocabulary made Shen Ruojing react for a while and finally understood.
Shen Xiansong sighed and said: "The daughter of every generation of the Shen family will be sent to the royal family of Country A for marriage."
Contribute...
She tensed her chin and said in a cold voice: "Grandpa, do we have to continue this tradition in the future of our Shen family? I would rather disperse this Wan Guan family fortune than allow my daughter to suffer this kind of treatment! "
"What?!"
Shen Ruojing's chest felt tight.
Then, Shen Yansong strode out.
As soon as she walked outside the door, she saw that noble figure walking slowly. Even though this queen was old, she was full of aura.
At this moment, we have arrived at Shen Ruojing's door!
Outside, all the bodyguards of the Shen family fell to the ground, and a row of well-trained personal guards wearing uniforms unique to the royal family took control of the Shen family's living room.
The queen looked behind Shen Xiansong: "Old Shen, since you don't bring your granddaughter to meet me, then I will come to see her in person..."
[Sorry, I went out for a day with my baby to go to a hobby class. When I came back, I suddenly couldn’t write. I wrote a chapter, deleted it, and re-wrote it... Maybe it’s because I need to take a rest after updating for three days, so I’m updating today. Will continue to update tomorrow! ~Sorry.]
