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

Yu Hanshen took in the girl's thoughts, but did not go downstairs immediately. Instead, he turned around and sat down beside the bed.

He propped his elbow on the pillow above Si Tong's head, held her face with his other hand, and said in a low and gentle voice: "If you can't leave, don't leave. Just stay by my side."

He looked at Si Tong seriously, with tenderness in his dark and deep eyes: "When grandma was alive, she wanted to see you live a good life the most. If she knew that you made things so difficult for yourself after she left, she would probably be worried."

As he spoke, Yu Hanshen leaned over and hugged Si Tong into his arms, "Grandma just passed away, and your thoughts in grief are bound to be irrational. Let it go for now, and when you calm down after a while, maybe your thoughts will change."

Si Tong's sight was occupied by the man's broad shoulders, and tears silently rolled down the corners of her eyes.

"Go to sleep, I'm here with you." Yu Hanshen patted her gently.

Even through the quilt, I could feel the man's broad and thick palms, with a slightly heavy force, which brought a sense of security from a mature man.

During this period, Yu Hanshen coaxed her to sleep like this every night, as if he really treated her as a child.

Si Tong didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, he heard faint voices coming from downstairs. The voices were not loud, but buzzing, as if there were a lot of people around.

Her room was on the second floor, the sun shone on her bed, it was almost nine o'clock.

I got out of bed and walked to the window. A large stove for cooking was set up in the yard downstairs. Various musical instruments were placed in an orderly manner on the funeral stage. The musicians were either standing or sitting on the stage, playing with their mobile phones out of boredom.

The open space in the yard was full of people. In addition to some familiar relatives and neighbors, there were also some men in suits and ties who looked very impressive. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they were not ordinary people but seemed to be leaders.

Si Tong spotted Yu Hanshen's tall figure among those men with charisma almost immediately.

He was wearing a long white gauze mourning garment with a hemp rope tied around his waist. The hood of the mourning garment was hung on his right shoulder instead of on his head, and the end of the mourning cloth hung down behind him.

The long mourning clothes all have a fixed length. My cousin’s mourning clothes dragged on the ground, while Yu Han’s mourning clothes were only to the knees.

Even though he had some things on him that didn't match his sophisticated style, it didn't affect his majestic aura as a high-ranking official.

Standing among a group of leaders, he looks more like a leader, and people's attention is unconsciously attracted to him.

He was holding a cigarette in his hand and talking to several middle-aged men around him. As if he noticed something, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards the second floor.

Si Tong looked at him for a moment, then turned around and went to the bathroom to wash up. The bathroom had also been renovated, and everything was new, including the toiletries, which were also brand new and unopened.

All matters, big or small, were arranged carefully and thoroughly by that man Yu.

After washing up and going downstairs, her cousin's mother's eyes lit up when she saw her: "You are finally awake, Xinxin, go and notify the funeral band and ask them to play quickly."

Li Xin responded and ran to the yard.

According to the custom in Tongcheng, when an elderly person dies, a funeral band is invited to play funeral music for three consecutive days to commemorate the deceased, and the band must start at six in the morning.

"If you don't come downstairs, I'll be so worried. What time is it now?" My cousin's mother-in-law didn't complain, she was just a little anxious.

"According to the rules, the horn should be blown at six o'clock, but Mr. Yu won't let us. He has to wait until you wake up."

My cousin’s mother is old, and she believes that the rules passed down by the older generation must be followed.

Just as she finished her words, the sound of a trumpet playing funeral music came from the yard, which was a bit harsh.

Si Tong didn't know the rule that the horn must be blown at six o'clock, so he turned around to look at Yu Hanshen in the yard.

No wonder I saw those musicians upstairs just now, playing with their cell phones idly.

"Go to the kitchen and eat. There's rice left for you in the pot." After my cousin's mother said this, someone came to pay her respects, and she hurried to greet them.

Si Tong looked at her grandmother before going to the kitchen. Yu Hanshen was still talking to someone, so she didn't go over to disturb him.

However, the moment she appeared, Yu Hanshen's eyes fell on her.

The middle-aged man beside him followed his gaze and saw a beautiful figure entering the kitchen. He smiled and said something flattering: "That must be Mrs. Yu. Mr. Yu is so lucky."

Yu Hanshen curled his lips slightly, and there seemed to be joy in his brows.

The middle-aged man was keenly aware of his mood changes, even if they were not obvious.

He couldn't help but look sideways. He was the leader of the neighboring city. He heard Wu Changxing mention that he met a God of Wealth this year and received two huge donations after doing a little help.

They also wanted such a generous businessman, so they came to pay their respects with the intention of making friends.

But after talking for such a long time, the CEO of Huangsheng never showed any emotion, and the expression on his face was like he was wearing a mask.

Now, he just complimented Mrs. Yu, and Mr. Yu's mood changed.

It seems that what Wu Changxing said is true. The richest man in Haicheng was tripped by the beauty in Tongcheng.

"Tongtong, does your boss Yu have any friends? Please introduce me to a good man like your boss Yu." Si Tong was sitting at the dining table eating, and Li Xin sat down next to her.

Si Tong didn't say anything, so Li Xin continued, "Not only is he rich and powerful, but he's also so considerate. He kept vigil for you, and in order not to disturb your sleep, he didn't allow music to be played, and didn't allow people to go up to call you. Even your own father couldn't be as doting as he is."

"Don't you see how anxious my dad and mom are? They've been pacing around the stairs, eagerly waiting for you to get up." Li Xin talked for a long time, but when she saw that Si Tong didn't react, her eyes were red, and she suddenly became quiet.

"Third grandma is old, this day will come sooner or later, don't be too sad." Li Xin comforted, "As the saying goes, the dead are gone, the living are like this, let's look forward."

Si Tong curled the corners of his mouth towards her.

Throughout the whole day, people came to pay their respects one after another. My cousin and his aunt were responsible for receiving relatives, friends and neighbors, while Yu Hanshen was responsible for dealing with leaders from the county and city.

Si Tong, a serious relative of the deceased, was the most idle. Apart from eating, drinking and going to the bathroom, she was responsible for sitting next to her grandmother and staring blankly.

In addition to his cousin, aunt and some neighbors who came to help, Yu Hanshen also arranged for several professionals to come. All of them were quick and efficient, and everything went on in an orderly manner.

At night, Si Tong thought about how Yu Hanshen had been smoking during the day, and guessed that he must have not slept all night last night and was smoking to stay awake, so when he came out of the shower, she said, "You should take a shower too."

Both of them brought a change of clothes when they came.

Si Tong took out his clean clothes from the suitcase and handed them to him, "Wash and sleep for a while before going downstairs."

She was pregnant and did not take the initiative to ask to keep vigil because she knew Yu Hanshen would not agree and also because she cared about the child herself.

Now she realized that he had given so much to her but she had never given anything in return. Now that she knew he was expecting this child, she would definitely give birth to the child safely.
