Daughters Of The Elite Chapter 7 - Heiress

Qian Meigui woke up to the sound of visitors. She then changed into something simple from her nightwear and headed down the stairs.

The housekeepers greeted her before entering the main room. The main room was grand with a high ceiling and chandelier hanging, and articulate furniture.

The room was staged, so those who reside in the house do not use it unless visitors come over. She glanced into the room and found Song Ren speaking to their father in a serious conversation.

"Good Morning Miss Song Mei."

Qian Meigui asked Mrs. Li, "Who is here?"

Mrs. Li appeared unsettled and informed her of which guests arrived. "It's your grandmother; she's here." Qian Meigui gaped in surprise.

Qian Meigui overheard Song Ren speaking in a self-justified tone, and everything else was silent. She hesitated to walk in, but she knew she had to greet her family out of respect.

Entering the room, she could see Song Rui sitting next to Mrs. Song on a custom-made couch imported from France. Grandmother Song sat on an armchair while holding her chestnut brown cain.

Qian Meigui glanced over at Song Sheng who wore a casual white long-sleeved b.u.t.toned s.h.i.+rt with black pants; and sat parallel of Song Rui And Mrs. Song, looking expressionless. Song Ren stood still in the head of the room.

Song Ren stopped speaking when Qian Meigui walked in.

Qian Meigui bowed her head lightly and greeted her parent's and grandmother.

Song Rui— her adoptive father— brows softened as Qian Mei walked in. He acknowledged her but did not say anything.

It was Grandmother Song who spoke. "Mei, What do you think of Sheng joining my company?" She asked.

Stunned, Qian Meigui did not know how to respond.

"Mother, Mei has nothing to do with this. Do not scare the girl," said Mr. Song with a deep tone.

Grandmother Song smiled. "I want to know what she thinks," she said to her son. The chairman quieted, and she returned to Qian Meigui, "What do you think? Be truthful girl."

Qian Meigui looked nervous as she tried to compose herself. If she were Song Ren, she would have to be smart about her response.

"I believe that if this is truly what Song Sheng wants, then I think he should pursue any career that deems fit. I also believe the Ren would take care of the Pharmaceutical company well, perhaps better than him."

Initially, Grandmother Song looked sternly cold at her, but then she smiled with a hint of amus.e.m.e.nt. "Indeed," Grandmother Song said.

Song Ren, who was standing continued for her.

"Song Mei is right. Furthermore, I believe I am capable of inheriting the pharmaceutical company. I know that my father had spent years investing in Sheng, but I can prove that I will be a great leader. I am also engaged to Su Feng."

The Song's all had raised their brows. Even Qian Meigui did not seem to notice. Inwardly, Qian Meigui was happy. She had always suspected something between them.

"You're engaged? You're far too young." Song Rui asked disapprovingly.

"Does it matter?" Song Ren argued. "I don't love him; this is merely business. For the sake of the company."

Song Rui tried to conceal a smirk from his face. Indeed, Song Ren was his daughter. He inwardly felt proud though he did not say anything.

To Qian Meigui, his face was cold and domineering. And Song Ren met him with a similar composed expression. The two were indeed related down to the marrow of their bones.

She continued, "Su Feng will only marry me if I inherit the company. He is already the heir of his own company. Together we would be invulnerable. Even you could not find Sheng a suitable match, as no woman can compare to your daughters."

Qian Meigui had a feeling she was lying. Su Feng would probably marry Song Ren even if she were a commoner.

Though Song Ren probably did not know how Su Feng felt about her. And Qian Meigui was not one to meddle in other people's affairs.

Song Rui appeared amused. He then said, "I have discussed the matters with your father, and we decided that as long as you complete your studies in biomedical science and business, and Marry Su Feng, the company will be yours. I am the CEO so Ren can continue to focus on her studies."

"As for Song Sheng, he will work with Song Li and his sons for the chairman."

Qian Meigui knew that it was a blow to their father, working with their scheming uncle in the business. But with Ren as the heiress, she supposed it was inevitable. Ren was hardworking.

Ren bowed her head, and said formally, "Thank you for your time."

Out of all his children, Song Rui knew that Song Ren was his golden child though he did not like to compare his children since he loved each of them, including Song Mei.

Song Ren had exceptional grades and excelled in nearly everything. Song Sheng was the same, but he gravitated towards the entertainment business.

He waited for the moment his daughter would challenge him and fight for something she believed. He knew she would make the right choice.

Song Rui then said, "Ren, take Mei with you." Qian Meigui left with her sister, leaving Song Sheng alone with him.
