People often say that century-old affluent families would have wealth enough to last them three generations.
After all, affluent families had a strong foundation and a large family tree with an abundance of wealth, offspring and a wide network of connections.
The four major families, the Wen Family, Gu Family, Xiao Family, and Jiang Family all had long histories, with the Wen Family being ranked the second richest, followed by the Xiao Family and lastly, the Jiang Family.
The Wen Family had a longer history compared to the Xiao Family, which had only begun to develop when the Wen Family was already prospering. The Xiao Family had only started making a name for themselves when the Wen Family was at the peak of their success in the world of business.
