Refusing to marry into a wealthy family, the richest man's uncle coaxed me into marriage

“Is the consignor of this set of pink diamond jewelry here? If so, he must be very happy, right?”

"It's really a waste of money. It's not a rare treasure, but you actually spent 100 million. You are not smart, haha..."

Well, as the person submitting the works for auction, Si Tong was in a good mood, but he also felt a little guilty.

The staff seemed to be afraid that Shen Yanxi would go back on her word, so as soon as the auctioneer struck the hammer and the deal was done, they immediately handed the "Transaction Confirmation" to Shen Yanxi for her to sign.

When Si Tong turned around, he saw Shen Yanxi lowering her head and signing with a painful look on her face.

There was a lot of discussion around, most of which were sarcastic, and Shen Yanxi's face showed annoyance and embarrassment.

But soon, her expression returned to normal. This set of jewelry was something Yu Hanshen wanted to buy as a gift, but now it became hers, which also meant... there was a connection between her and him.

From now on, when she appears in front of Yu Hanshen wearing this set of jewelry, he will definitely look at her more.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Yanxi felt that the 100 million was worth it.

Three more pieces of jewellery were auctioned afterwards, but their prices were not as high as Si Tong’s pink diamond and were all sold for less than five million. Next were jade, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings.

Most of the transaction prices did not exceed Si Tong's pink diamond, except for Qi Baishi's "Pine and Cypress Standing Tall & Seal Script Four-Character Couplet", which was bought by Yu Hanshen at a high price of 400 million after half an hour of fierce bidding.

When the staff brought the "Transaction Confirmation" for him to sign, Si Tong saw him sign his name fluently and gracefully, with an expression as steady as a rock.

It seemed that spending 400 million was as insignificant to him as spending four dollars.

The auction was over at ten o'clock. Yu Hanshen held Si Tong's hand and walked out with the crowd. The man's big hand tightly grasped her small hand, just like a parent who was afraid that his child would get lost.

There were many people in the elevator. Yu Hanshen took Si Tong to the innermost part, with his back to the outside, and protected Si Tong between himself and the elevator wall to prevent her from being squeezed by others.

The man in front of her was tall and straight, with one hand in his pocket and the other hand resting on the elevator wall beside her shoulder. He was like a towering and immovable mountain, easily carving out a safe corner for her in the crowded elevator.

Si Tong was inexplicably moved by his little detail.

Some people are like this. The more you get along with them, the more good things you can find in them.

Si Tong moved forward slightly, put his ear against the man's chest, and listened to his strong heartbeat with attachment.

Soon, the elevator stopped in the underground garage.

When they arrived at the parking lot, He Qinglan's white car was still there next to the Rolls-Royce, and a man in his thirties was standing next to the white car.

"Hanshen." The man came up to greet Yu Hanshen as soon as he saw him.

Judging from the way he addressed him, he should be very familiar with Yu Hanshen. Si Tong took the initiative to stop and tactfully gave the two men space to talk.

Yu Han gave her a deep look, took a few steps forward and shook hands with the man.

The man took out a cigarette box and handed one to Yu Hanshen. He also took out a cigarette and put it between his lips. He then took out a lighter, lit a flame, and handed it to Yu Hanshen first.

Yu Hanshen lowered his head slightly and lit a cigarette with his hand. The man also lit a cigarette for himself. As he exhaled the mist, he said, "Is this your little fiancée? I heard she just finished the college entrance examination?"

Yu Hanshen did not deny it.

"Okay, so you like this." The man smiled: "I originally thought you would be with Qinglan."

"You and Qinglan are a perfect match, of similar age, and have known each other since childhood. Qinglan is also good-looking, but you don't want her and insist on finding someone who just graduated from high school and is only 17 or 18 years old?"

"Aren't you afraid that when you go to college, you'll find that the university is full of young and handsome seniors, who will turn around and think you're old and kick you out?"

"My eldest brother is like that. After divorcing my eldest sister-in-law, he found a young girl who hadn't even started college yet. But after the young girl got into college, she wanted to dump my eldest brother after just one month. The reason she did was that my eldest brother was older and more controlling. Now it's been a year, and they're still fighting. I'm so tired for him."

Yu Hanshen stood tall and straight. He chuckled when he heard the words. He slowly exhaled a puff of white smoke from his thin lips and said lightly, "She is twenty-two."

The man glanced at Si Tong and said, "Oh, I forgot. She has been in prison, right? She is not too old at 22. She is ten years younger than you. You will have to be a father to this little girl in the future."

"Tsk, I really don't know what you're thinking. Isn't Qinglan better than her? She's about your age, mature and sensible, unlike that little girl who's fickle-minded, playful and mischievous, and can break your old bones when she gets upset."

Yu Hanshen looked at the man indifferently, "You waited for me here just to talk about this?"

The man took a puff of cigarette and said helplessly: "It's because you didn't save Qinglan before. Qinglan was crying so hard that my mother gave me a task and asked me to persuade you to go to the hospital to see Qinglan."

The man is He Qinglan’s second brother, He Changjun.

"Qinglan's ankle injury is quite serious. Are you free tomorrow? At Jinghe Hospital." He Changjun said.

The two of them stood in the empty parking space next to He Qinglan's white car and talked. Si Tong was bored and walked to the front of the Rolls-Royce, where a little golden man stood.

Si Tong didn't know much about cars, but he had heard of this little golden man. He heard that it was very expensive, worth 240,000 yuan. He reached out to touch it, but the little golden man suddenly sank.

She found it interesting and curled the corners of her mouth.

He Changjun froze as he was putting the cigarette in his mouth.

From his angle, he could see Si Tong's face. The girl lowered her head slightly, with her high ponytail falling on both sides of her cheeks. She had thin eyebrows, fair skin, red lips, and a slight smile, and was stunningly beautiful.

Suddenly I understood why Yu Hanshen gave up the daughter of a famous family who was a perfect match for him, and instead chose a little girl who was not a match in any way.

Even if this appearance is completely useless, it is still pleasing to the eye when placed at home.

He Changjun raised his hand and patted Yu Hanshen's shoulder, saying earnestly: "Brother, take care of your body. Don't be like my elder brother and start taking kidney-tonifying Chinese medicine."

Si Tong was not far from the two men and could hear what they were saying.

His face was a little red.

I looked up at the strange man who was talking nonsense.

He Changjun felt his bones go soft when he was looked at with a mixture of shame and anger.

He patted Yu Hanshen's shoulder again, shook his head and sighed, feeling worried about his friend's old waist.

Yu Hanshen and He Changjun talked about some business matters. After more than 20 minutes, he returned to Si Tong, held the girl's wrist and squeezed it gently, "Get in the car."

Assistant Yao had already opened the car door and was waiting. The two got in the car, and the Rolls-Royce drove out of the basement entrance of Poly Building at a leisurely pace.

Si Tong thought of the strange man's words and asked casually, "Who was that person just now?"

Yu Hanshen held the girl's wrist, and rubbed the skin on the inside of the girl's wrist with his thumb. The skin was delicate and smooth. He spoke in a low voice: "He Qinglan's second brother, He Changjun."

Si Tong nodded. No wonder he kept mentioning He Qinglan.

"Then tomorrow..." Si Tong turned his head and looked out the window, "Are you going to the hospital to see Miss He?"

"You want me to go?" Yu Hanshen asked.

Si Tong looked back, without pretending to be magnanimous, and followed his heart and shook his head, "No."

Yu Han looked at her for a moment with his deep eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his thin lips: "Then don't go."

Si Tong pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes bright.

More than half an hour later, when they returned to the courtyard, the housekeeper immediately came up with the servants, "Mr. Yu, do you want a midnight snack?"

Yu Hanshen lowered his head to look at Si Tong and asked in a gentle voice, "Are you hungry?"

Si Tong shook his head.

Yu Hanshen ordered the housekeeper: "Bring over a hot cup of milk."

"Okay, Mr. Yu." The butler responded respectfully and turned to tell the servant to do it.

After entering the bedroom, Si Tong was about to say that he was going to take a shower when his body suddenly became airborne. When he came to his senses, he found himself being held by Yu Hanshen and sitting on the low cabinet.

Yu Hanshen placed his hands on Si Tong's hips, and leaned down with his tall body to look her in the eye. "What reward do you plan to give me for helping you sell the jewelry?"

The man's eyes were unfathomable, dark and thick, as if they could drown a person.

Si Tong's heart was pounding and she couldn't help but step back, her back pressed against the cold wall. She looked into the man's bottomless eyes with trembling eyelashes.

Swallowing hard, "W-what do you want?"

Yu Hanshen pinched her chin, and his rough thumb stroked along the girl's smooth chin, upwards, to her delicate lips.

"You can't give me what I want, so I'll just give you what you can afford."

His thumb lingered at the crack of Si Tong's lips, and for a moment, it seemed as if he wanted to enter the girl's mouth, but he seemed to have some reservations, so he didn't do it.
