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

The rain stopped in the evening. The ground was still not dry, and rainwater accumulated in the low-lying areas, reflecting mirror-like light under the street lights.

A pair of shiny black leather shoes strode forward in the puddles, but because they walked steadily, not much splash was made.

Yu Hanshen carried Si Tong to the parking lot, put her in the passenger seat, held her face, and spoke in a low voice, unable to hide his heartache: "Tongtong, look at me."

Si Tong opened his eyes, as if he was looking at him, but also as if he was not looking at him. His eyes were empty and unfocused.

Yu Hanshen stroked her cheek gently with his thumb and coaxed her softly, "Don't hold it in, cry it out."

Si Tong's eyeballs moved, and a tear rolled down from his eye socket, hitting Yu Hanshen's fingertips hotly, and then more.

"I don't have a grandmother anymore." She grabbed Yu Hanshen's suit collar tightly, "She was fine yesterday morning. She even said she would make me my favorite sweet and sour pork ribs in the evening..."

Yu Hanshen stood outside the passenger seat, leaned in and hugged the girl tightly in his arms, gently stroking her back with his palm, his sharp Adam's apple rising slightly: "I'll be here for you from now on, don't be afraid."

Si Tong gradually started to cry.

"I killed my grandmother, didn't I? It was because of me that she came to Haicheng, wanted to go out to buy me a dowry, and got into a car accident, right?"

"If it weren't for me, grandma wouldn't have had such a hard life. If it weren't for me, my uncle and brother wouldn't have died. Grandma's health wouldn't have deteriorated due to the shock. If it weren't for me..."

"It has nothing to do with you." Yu Hanshen interrupted her softly, "It was just an accident. It's no one's fault."

Si Tong burst into tears.

Yu Hanshen just held her quietly, silently comforting her with the broad embrace of a mature man.

After an unknown amount of time, Si Tong fell asleep due to exhaustion.

Yu Hanshen took her back to the Imperial Examination Hall and stopped the car. As soon as he picked her up, Si Tong woke up and found that she was back at the Imperial Examination Hall. She struggled to get off the car and said, "I want to go to the hospital to look after my aunt and Yangyang."

Yu Hanshen tightened his arms and spoke in a gentle voice: "There are doctors and nurses in the hospital, there will be no problem. You are pregnant, you need to rest well."

"The child is also your family. As a mother, you should protect it, right?"

When talking about the child, Si Tong quieted down and cried silently, leaning on the man's broad shoulders.

After entering the bedroom, Yu Hanshen helped her take off her clothes and sat beside the bed. He waited until the girl fell asleep before taking off his clothes and preparing to go to bed with her.

At this moment, the cell phone in his trouser pocket vibrated.

He took out his cell phone and looked at the incoming call. He went to the balcony to answer it. Mo Xubei's serious voice came from the phone: "Have you finished reading? How is the little girl now?"

"I just fell asleep." Yu Hanshen raised his hand and rubbed his temple.

"Women are such a hassle. Look at you. You've been worried so much since you got together with this little girl." Mo Xubei said, feeling somewhat relieved: "Fortunately, I don't plan to get married."

"Nothing else?" Yu Hanshen said lightly, intending to hang up the phone.

Mo Xubei said hurriedly: "I called mainly to tell you that your little girl's aunt is not in a good condition. You should have an idea in your mind. If she is really gone, how should you tell the little girl?"

When I told Si Tong that my aunt had woken up, I was just comforting her. She had just received two critical illness notices today, so there was no way she could get better so quickly.

After ending the call, Yu Hanshen stood on the balcony and subconsciously reached into his trouser pocket to feel for a cigarette box, but found nothing. He then remembered that Si Tong had said before that smoking was bad for the body, so he never smoked again.

After standing there for a while, he turned and went into the room. On the bed, Si Tong was frowning, sleeping uneasily, with wet eyelashes and tear marks at the corners of his eyes.

Yu Hanshen leaned over and kissed her eyes. Si Tong seemed to be comforted and her frown slowly relaxed.

Looking at the girl's pale and fragile face, the man's eyes were full of pity.

The next day, Si Tong woke up very early.

The moment I opened my eyes, I felt that this morning was no different from countless previous mornings, but when all the events of last night came back to me, a dense pain welled up in my heart.

The next moment, she was wrapped in a warm and broad embrace, and smelled the familiar scent of a man, and Si Tong's eyes became hot.

Old Madam Yu was worried about Si Tong, so she came to the Imperial Examination Hall with Old Man Yu early in the morning. Si Tong and Yu Hanshen washed up and went downstairs, and saw two old people downstairs at a glance.

"Tongtong." Madam Yu apologized, "I'm sorry, I..."

Si Tong has always been able to distinguish right from wrong. She knew that everyone was hiding the truth from her for her own good, so she shook her head without any intention of blaming them.

Madam Yu held her hand and said, "Okay, Tongtong is a good and sensible child. Don't be afraid even if your grandma is gone. In the future, you will have me, the third child, and..."

As she spoke, Old Madam Yu saw Old Man Yu dozing off with his chin resting on his hands, leaning on his cane with both hands.

He immediately frowned and twisted Mr. Yu's ear, "It's your turn to speak!"

Mr. Yu was grabbed by the ears at such an old age that his face looked a little gloomy, but he still cooperated with his wife: "Well, there's me too."

The old couple came in a hurry and had not had breakfast yet, so they ate a little with the young couple in Gongyuan.

At the dinner table, Madam Yu talked about grandma's funeral, "Should it be held in Haicheng, or should we go back to Tongcheng?"

Si Tong had no experience in this matter, and subconsciously turned to look at Yu Hanshen, the trust in his eyes was self-evident.

I don’t know when it started, but this man seemed to have become her backbone.

Yu Hanshen had his shirt sleeves rolled up and was slowly cutting a steak for Si Tong. After he was done, he stretched out his slightly swollen forearm and placed the steak in front of Si Tong.

After receiving the girl's request for help, he calmly made a decision: "Let's go back to Tongcheng. The old man's relatives and friends are all in Tongcheng."

Madam Yu nodded. "Then when are we going to go back and do it? He's been gone for two days. We should get it done as soon as possible."

Hearing 'it's been two days', Si Tong's emotions were shaken and tears fell.

The back of her hand was immediately covered by a big hand, and the man's body temperature came from the warm and heavy palm, which seemed to reach the bottom of her heart.

In my ears, I heard Yu Hanshen's steady voice: "When my aunt's condition stabilizes, Tongtong and I will take the old lady back."

Si Tong is worried about his aunt and Yangyang in the intensive care unit and will definitely not leave Haicheng at this time.

Si Tong looked at Yu Hanshen's sharp and tough profile, and her heart was touched. This man knew her so well.

After dinner, Si Tong wanted to ask for leave to go to the hospital.

Yu Hanshen said, "There are doctors at the hospital. It doesn't matter whether you are there or not. You'd better study hard. I will go back to my hometown in a few days to handle the funeral of my old man, which will delay my classes for several days."

Si Tong understood what he meant. If he took one more day of class now, he would have one less day to make up for the missed class later.

But she was in a daze the whole day. One of her relatives passed away suddenly, and two were seriously injured in the hospital. She couldn't calm down.

After barely attending a day's class and finishing the last class in the evening, He Heng took the other three people in the dormitory to the cafeteria, and then sent Si Tong back to the Imperial Examination Hall.

Si Tong saw the way back to Gongyuan and took the initiative to say, "Take me to Huahe Hospital."

He Heng said: "Boss Yu said that holding a funeral for the old man in the next few days will be very energy-consuming, so you should rest and recuperate in the next few days."

This reason sounds reasonable, but Si Tong frowned slightly: "I'll just take a look and leave."

He Heng tilted his head back and said bitterly, "Madam, I am just following Mr. Yu's instructions. Please don't make things difficult for me."

He had long discovered that Si Tong was actually very easy to talk to, and as long as he acted pitiful, she would soften her heart.

Si Tong: “…”

Outside the courtyard of Gongyuan No. 8, there was a Francesca green Maserati parked.

Yu Wanning was standing next to the car wearing a beige long coat, a shirt and a short skirt underneath, with bare legs, long wavy hair, delicate makeup, and a fashionable temperament.

She looks like a rich girl.

Si Tong guessed her intention, so when Yu Wan Ning said "I'm sorry" stiffly and awkwardly, there was no change in Si Tong's expression.

He replied "It's okay" and walked into the courtyard.

Because Yu Wan Ning complained a few times behind her back, her family members took turns to scold her for being ignorant. She was already very angry.

Now she had condescended to apologize, but Si Tong ignored her. She took two steps forward to block Si Tong: "What's with your attitude?"

Si Tong was not in the mood to get entangled with Yu Wanning any longer and glanced back indifferently.

Her facial features are beautiful and soft, but her temperament is cold. When she looks at people without any expression, she has a sense of superiority and nobility.

Yu Wan Ning felt uncomfortable with her cold eyes. A poor girl from a humble background climbed into her uncle's bed and thought she had become a superior person?

"I thought you knew how sad it would be when a loved one passed away. I guess that's why you let your uncle keep it a secret from you." Yu Wan Ning said with contempt.

Si Tong didn't want to waste time talking to someone who was prejudiced against her, so she said calmly, "Are you done?"

Yu Wanning looked at her and thought of Yu Zhiheng who was still in the hospital. Yu Zhiheng had a car accident because he was in a bad mood because Si Tong and Yu Hanshen were going to get their marriage certificate.

But since the car accident, Si Tong has never visited him once. He is really cold and heartless.

"Should I say you are emotionally stable, or are you cold-hearted?" Yu Wan Ning crossed her arms and looked at Si Tong's indifferent expression. "Zhi Heng, you are content because you haven't been discharged from the hospital yet."

As she spoke, she laughed, "That's right. Your grandmother is gone, and your aunt is dying and in critical condition. The critical illness notice has been issued, but you didn't even go to take a look. What does my brother mean to you?"
