On the day I was kicked out of my parents’ home, I had a flash marriage with the richest man.

Chu Shan looked at Miao Yajie speechlessly. "I'm the young master of the Chu family. No one dares to look at me strangely. What about you? Aren't you feeling a little too self-satisfied? Look at this huge family, with so many people up and down. Can you say they are all sincerely submissive to you, and not one of them secretly scolds you for being a mistress?"

"Do you dare to say it? Do you dare to admit it?"

Chu Shan's words "the mistress has taken over" completely infuriated Miao Yajie, and he slapped Chu Shan hard in the face.

There was a crisp "pop" sound, as if the whole world was quiet, the air solidified, and there was dead silence all around, without any sound.

Everyone in the room, whether servants or bodyguards, lowered their heads and did not dare to look up at Miao Yajie and Chu Shan.

"How dare you talk about your mother like that!" Miao Yajie's eyes were filled with heartache. "I know! I was a mistress and I'm not respected or admired! I know my way to the top was not right! But that's why I hope you'll be well and fight for me!"

"Sorry to disappoint you. I can't win your honor! If you want to win, go and win on your own! Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you!" Chu Shan wiped his stinging cheek.

Although it was not the first time that Miao Yajie beat him, this time he felt particularly painful and heartbroken.

Miao Yajie covered his aching heart, took a step back, and spoke in a mournful voice.

"Xiaoshan, Xiaoshan, is your mother so unbearable in your eyes? Don't you think about it, without me, would you be where you are today? You and Xiaohe might still be suffering in some corner!"

"If I hadn't had the foresight to find you a rich father, would you still exist in this world? I know what I did was wrong and many people look down on me, but if I were given another chance, I would still do it!"

"I just wanted to find a good father for my child and make my life better. Where did I go wrong?"

Chu Shan disagreed with Miao Yajie's point of view, but he didn't want to continue arguing with Miao Yajie, so he turned his face away and said nothing.

Miao Yajie saw clear fingerprints on Chu Shan's face and his cheeks were swollen. He felt very distressed and grabbed Chu Shan and questioned him loudly.

"Everything I do is not just for myself, but for you too! It's fine if others don't understand me, but why don't you understand me and even resent me?"

"I've been through that kind of life before, and I know it all too well. If a woman has no family background, no talents, and only a pretty face, getting married is her only chance to turn her life around. That's why I stopped you and Xia Yiyi!"

"Mom is doing this for your own good. I hope you'll be happy and have a woman who truly loves you! If that doesn't work out, then she must rely on the Chu family. She's a woman who will only treat you well for the rest of her life!"

Chu Shan didn't want to hear what Miao Yajie said, and covered his ears irritably.

Miao Yajie pulled Chu Shan's hand away and stared into his eyes, as if he wanted to tell Chu Shan everything he wanted to say at once. Even if Chu Shan didn't want to listen, he would still pry open his head and force it into his head.

"Xiaoshan, don't you understand even today? Mom has done everything for you! Xiaohe has her own career and family now, so I don't have to worry about her. The only thing Mom is worried about now is you."

"How can you not understand your mother's painstaking efforts and still harbor resentment towards me! If I'm just trying to make you happy and don't really care about you, then why should I care about you? It's because I care about you that I care about you!"

"Listen to mom's advice and break up with Xia Yiyi as soon as possible!"

Chu Shan erupted with a roar that made people's eardrums buzz.

"How many times do I have to tell you that there's nothing going on between Xia Yiyi and me. We're both innocent! How many times do I have to tell you before you believe me? She didn't seduce me, and she doesn't want to marry me! We're just ordinary friends."

Miao Yajie pushed Chu Shan hard. "If we were just ordinary friends, would you have gotten involved with her again and again? And you even helped her and Gu Zhan to get compensation! You even jumped off the building to find her! Do you know how many times Gu Zhan's agent called home because of this matter, asking for a big favor!"

"What? He still has the nerve to ask for favors from his family? Luo Heng's face must be made of titanium!"

Miao Yajie didn't want to continue arguing, so he picked up his phone and said, "I'll contact the Peng family now and ask them to come over for dinner tonight to arrange your marriage with Peng Zi!"

"No!" Chu Shan tried to grab the phone, but he was a step too late. Miao Yajie had already sent the message to Peng Zi's father.

Chu Shan angrily said, "Don't you know that since you kicked me out, the Peng family's attitude towards me has changed 360 degrees? Why did they still arrange for me to be engaged to Peng Zi? Can't you see that the Peng family only cares about my surname, not me!"

Miao Yajie said, "Of course I know! But compared to Xia Yiyi, I can accept the Peng family more! At least their value to you is obvious! As long as the Peng family wants to continue to develop in the business world, they can't do without the Chu family, and they won't neglect you! Even if one day I'm gone, and our older generation is dead, gone! The Peng family only has one daughter, Peng Zi. In the past few years, we have vigorously supported the Peng family and let the Peng family develop. In the future, all the Peng family assets will be yours! It can be regarded as leaving you a way out!"

Miao Yajie never told Enning the truth. She didn't just want to help Chu Shan find happiness.

In Miao Yajie's eyes, the emotional happiness between men and women is far less important than financial benefits. Otherwise, she would not have learned that she was Bai Yunqiu's substitute and had quarreled with Chu Lianjiang several times to the brink of divorce. But when Chu Lianjiang changed his attitude slightly and coaxed her, she came back.

Because in her eyes pure love is worthless.

The money in your hands is the most real and useful thing!

Given Chu Shan’s current situation, he really can’t find a wealthy family that matches him, but if there is no match, a middle-class family from a small business can.

For example, the Peng family is the family that Miao Yajie chose in his heart.

The company is developing and I have only one daughter in the family.

Although the Chu family's property cannot give Chu Shan much, the connections in the business world can be given to the Peng family. As long as the Peng family develops, won't everything in the Peng family belong to Chu Shan and Peng Zi in the future?

Although Peng Zi is unkempt and untidy, which Miao Yajie really dislikes, from the perspective of interests, the Peng family is the best choice.

Xia Yiyi is different. She doesn't say anything. If she just covets Chu Shan's little property, she will have to take half of it when they divorce in the future. She can't bring any benefits to Chu Shan, but will be a burden instead.

"I don't like Peng Zi. Can you please stop forcing me to do things I don't like?" Chu Shan held his head in his hands. He was about to collapse.

"Why didn't you say you didn't like it before? Everyone knows that I wanted to match you up with the Peng family, but I just didn't say it openly!"

"I didn't say I didn't like her. I didn't say it because I didn't like her! Peng Zi and I are brothers, we are buddies. I have never treated her as a woman!" Chu Shan collapsed.

Miao Yajie didn't care about that and said to the bodyguard, "Take him upstairs and keep a close eye on him. Don't let him run away again!"

Immediately afterwards, Miao Yajie ordered, "Nail the windows shut to prevent him from jumping off the building again!"

Chu Shan was held by the bodyguards and dragged upstairs, "I won't agree! Unless I die! I will not marry Peng Zi!"
