Bring your bestie to play melon in the domineering love story

It’s Jiang Jingyao.

Ever since the Jiang family was forced into a desperate situation by Huo Xingzhou, they have been walking on the edge of a knife every day, racing against time and running around in a hurry. They have faced the danger of bankruptcy countless times. Fortunately, the Fu family secretly extended a helping hand, which saved them.

Jiang Jingyao took two steps forward and noticed that the atmosphere between the two was not right. He carefully asked, "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, did I disturb you?"

Huo Xingzhou had treated him so badly last time, and if he angered him again this time, he would probably have no chance of turning things around.

Huo Yan'an did not have the oppressive aura of being intimidating without even getting angry. Anyone familiar with him would quickly discover his flaws, but fortunately, Jiang Jingyao was afraid of Huo Xingzhou and did not dare to have too much eye contact with him, so naturally he did not notice anything suspicious.

Fu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

In front of the Jiang family, I believe Huo Yanan will not do anything to her again.

Huo Yanan narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the uninvited Jiang family member in front of him with a gloomy expression.

Dare to ruin his good thing, it seems that Huo Xingzhou's methods are not cruel enough. Even after being bankrupt, he can still come to the engagement party with a flattering face. Thinking of this, he turned his head and glanced at Fu Yao again.

Having lost the protection of the Huo family, and now eager to curry favor with the Fu family, it seems that the Jiang family is still so useless.

He couldn't help but sneer, and turned his head to whisper to Fu Yao, "I'll let you go today, but don't be too happy too soon. You have to pay me back what you owe me, my good sister-in-law."

Fu Yao stared at him in disbelief.

Huo Yanan curled the corners of his mouth, glanced at her and Jiang Jingyao with disdain, and turned away.

Fu Yao looked at his back, her heart in turmoil. She knew that taking this step today was like standing on the edge of a cliff. If she was not careful, she would be doomed, but she did not regret it.

She would not have a single complaint about marrying into the Huo family, even if she was only Huo Xingzhou's wife in name.

The person you fall in love with first is destined to be humble.

Now Huo Xingzhou dug out her heart with his own hands and roasted it under the scorching sun, without caring about her face or life or death, and hurt her at will, but she would still stand by him as always, because she loved him so much.

Jiang Jingyao didn't understand the situation. Seeing Huo Xingzhou leave, he walked a few steps to Fu Yao and said in a flattering tone, "Miss Fu, wasn't Mr. Huo a little unhappy just now? You see, I came at a really bad time..."

"Is there something wrong?" Fu Yao's voice was neither loud nor low, but it revealed a sense of alienation and indifference.

Jiang Jingyao was disdainful in his heart, but on the surface he still gave a flattering look, "It's actually not a big deal. Last time the Jiang family faced a bankruptcy crisis, it was thanks to Mr. Fu's secret help that we were able to save part of the family property. To express my gratitude, my father would like to take you in as his goddaughter. I hope you can consider it."

The Jiang family had selfish motives in accepting Fu Yao as their goddaughter.

On the one hand, it was to ease the relationship with the Huo family, and on the other hand, it was to give himself a strong enough backer.

In this society where power is everything, those who don’t have a big tree to rely on will inevitably be swallowed up by other families.

The Jiang family’s century-old business cannot be destroyed like this.

Fu Yao's expression didn't change. "I'm not in the mood to think about this right now. Let's talk about it later."

"Well..." Jiang Jingyao thought Fu Yao was a woman who was easy to talk to, and his expression froze for a moment. "Okay, we'll visit Mr. and Mrs. Fu in a few days."

Fu Yao had no intention of playing coy with him. She just said a few words in response and turned away.

Jiang Jingyao hit a wall and looked embarrassed.

At this moment, Jiang Shaoqing's voice came from behind, "Brother, did I hear correctly? You just said that my parents want to adopt Fu Yao as their goddaughter?"

Jiang Ruoli just died, and they were in a hurry to adopt a goddaughter. Is this something human beings would do?

Seeing his look of surprise, Jiang Jingyao said coldly, "Isn't it good to have a powerful sister? Do you think we are all like you, making a living from music all day long? Do you really think that we rely on our strength?"

This sentence was simply reminding him that without the Jiang family, his musical dream would just be a dream.

"So you are so eager to get close to the Fu family?" Jiang Shaoqing still found it outrageous.

Jiang Jingyao adjusted his shirt cuffs, his expression changing in an instant. He sneered, "So what? The Jiang family has a goddaughter like Fu Yao. Even if Huo Xingzhou still hates the Jiang family, he will turn a blind eye for her sake. This is called strategy, don't you understand?"

"Don't you feel guilty? Ah Li just died, and even his body hasn't been found. Not only are you not sad, but... In your eyes, is family less important than rights?"

"Family affection?" Jiang Jingyao asked him back, closing in on him, gritting his teeth. "Have you ever begged anyone? Have you ever tried to beg them for a cooperative project? Have you ever felt the pain of having your hard work for half a year easily snatched away by someone else? Jiang Shaoqing, you know nothing. Compared to power, family affection is nothing!"

"Huo Xingzhou can plunge the Jiang family into bankruptcy with just one word. If we don't seek shelter and help quickly, we'll just starve to death on the streets. Do you believe it?"

"Jiang Ruoli is dead, will she come back to life if you continue to feel guilty about it?"

"will not."

"Even though she's dead, we still have to survive. The Jiang family needs support and protection. This is the most important thing."

Jiang Shaoqing looked at him. He was right. The Jiang family was indeed blinded by interests.

They cannot see family affection, only power.

It was cold, without a trace of warmth.

He originally had some thoughts about the Jiang family, but now, they are gone.

"Brother, one day you will understand that family is more important than anything else, and... I can also support myself, starting from today."

Jiang Shaoqing left a word and left without looking back.

Jiang Jingyao sneered behind him, "Okay, since you're so brave, don't come crying and beg me if you end up homeless!"

Ah...

Jiang Shaoqing put one hand in his pocket and made a gesture in the air with his right hand.

At this moment, he suddenly understood Jiang Ruoli's feelings when she left home. Perhaps living in such a ruthless and ungrateful Jiang family, relying on one's own hard work outside would make life more stable.

......

That night.

Fu family manor.

Fu Yao locked herself in the room and had a big tantrum. Thinking of the grievances she suffered during the day, it felt like a hole was punched in her heart, an unprecedented feeling of emptiness. She clenched her teeth and tears fell to the floor.

suddenly.

The system's cold voice sounded in the air.

——There’s no point in losing your temper. Now that things have come to this, you can only rely on yourself to fight for it, otherwise you will end up being completely wiped out from this world.

——Also, your halo as the heroine has begun to fade. I believe that it won’t be long before you lose everyone’s admiration and love.

Jiang Yao suddenly raised her head, "What did you say?"

The heroine's halo fades?
