Forced marriage by a substitute bride? The spoiled son of a prominent Beijing socialite! His whole f

He Yan was about to leave, but He Yiyi stopped her.

"Sister, my brother just called me and said there's an event. I told him I wanted you to go too, and he agreed. Sister, you won't refuse me, right?"

He Yiyi had a smug smile on her face, and her eyes were full of provocation.

If He Yan agrees to go, we can take the opportunity to embarrass her and make her lose face, so that her older brother will dislike her.

It would be even better if He Yan refused to go.

She could freely act coquettishly towards her older brother and take the opportunity to squeeze out He Yan.

"Okay, let's go together."

He Yan narrowed her eyes, her smile laced with aggression.

Since it's difficult to investigate Zhang Quan, let's investigate He Yiyi instead, since she's also a suspect.

He Yiyi's smile froze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

"You haven't been to your older brother's company yet, have you? He inherited Dad's investment company, which mainly invests in antiques, as well as many other venture capital projects."

She seemed to be explaining the situation to He Yan, but it was all just showing off.

She showed off every little detail of her interactions with the He family.

He Yan watched He Yiyi's performance quietly, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

……

He Yunyi was in a meeting at the time.

They acted as intermediaries, commissioned by the Antiques Association to collaborate on a collection exhibition.

The He family's company has two major business segments.

One is a pharmaceutical company, and the other is an investment company.

He Yunyi took over the company three years ago and has since grown it into a major player.

"President He, some national cultural relics will also be exhibited this time. The higher authorities attach great importance to this, and we hope that you will also take good security measures to ensure the smooth running of the exhibition."

The person in charge sent by the Antiques Association is currently in contact with He Yunyi.

"Don't worry, Director Liu, I will make sure the exhibition goes smoothly."

"Okay, I trust Mr. He to handle things."

After confirming the condition of the cultural relics one last time, Director Liu left.

He Yunyi also attached great importance to this, because it was another opportunity for the company to gain a great reputation.

"Mr. He, other private collectors have also sent their exhibits over. The warehouse is taking inventory. Would you like to go and take a look? Those people are very active, having heard that the exhibits are being displayed alongside national cultural relics."

Assistant Zhou Jin brought over a document containing a batch of collectibles that had already been put into storage.

"Go and have a look."

He Yunyi took the document and glanced at it briefly.

Because this event is very large, it requires traveling to another city to participate.

Some private collectors are currently transferring ownership.

He Yan and He Yiyi also happened to arrive at the company.

"Big brother! My sister and I are here!"

He Yiyi had already put it on from a distance and flew over to her older brother like a butterfly.

"Yiyi, you're here."

He Yunyi smiled gently and patted her head.

Seeing He Yan standing not far away, he felt a little embarrassed, but still went over to greet her.

"He Yan, this is your first time here. If you're not used to it, you can tell me."

"These things are interesting, I can look at them myself."

He Yan glanced back, her expression indifferent. She only saw He Yiyi holding He Yunyi's hand, looking wary yet trying to appear magnanimous, which made her want to laugh.

She was so afraid of taking back the He family.

Every move she made revealed her unease and fear.

"Okay, I have some things to take care of. You guys stay here and look around for a while. Call me if you need anything."

He Yunyi knew that He Yan was like this, so he didn't want to bother her.

He tried his best to treat He Yan like an ordinary person.

"Brother, is this event going to be big? I see so many people bringing exhibits."

He Yiyi sneered inwardly when she saw how cold He Yan was to her older brother's attempts to befriend her.

She insists on acting aloof; she might regret it.

"Yes, because some of the cultural relics have been returned, so we must pay attention to them."

He Yunyi saw He Yan turn her head to look at the antiques and sighed silently in his heart.

His two younger sisters are a mix of lively and adorable, and aloof and proud. If only they could be a better match.

He Yan walked over, and several experts were examining the artifacts.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an acquaintance.

"Master Yu, I never expected to see you here."

"Nan Qing? The He family actually managed to get you in on their invitation?"

The old man, known as Master Yu, looked surprised when he saw He Yan, and then burst into laughter.

"How is Elder Wen's health? I heard you've taken over his mantle, but you've declined several invitations from the Antique Association. Why aren't you taking orders anymore?"

Yu Hui's feelings for He Yan were also those of an elder who liked a younger person.

I like her intelligence and quick wit, and I like her quiet nature even more.

“My senior colleagues are all more capable than me. With their dedication to restoring antiques, I won’t cause any trouble.”

He Yan responded with a smile and in a generous manner.

When she went to treat Master Wen Yiming's illness, she happened to become involved with antique restoration.

Later, by sheer coincidence, he became Master Wen's last disciple.

"I've been busy lately and haven't had time to take orders. I just happened to come and take a look."

"You're just being modest. It was thanks to you that we old men couldn't repair that Tang Dynasty three-legged 'Wanhua Mandarin Duck' dish was pieced together and made whole again."

Yu Hui stroked his beard, his eyes filled with even greater admiration.

Not far away, He Yiyi was acting coquettishly towards her older brother, but when she turned around, she saw He Yan chatting happily with an old man.

"Big brother, who is that person? How does my sister know him?"

"That's Master Yu, a very skilled restorer from the Antiques Association."

He Yunyi also found it novel.

He knew that Master Yu was always aloof, but he didn't expect him to chat with He Yan.

This surprised him a bit, and he also felt that his younger sister was very capable.

“My sister always uses the Bo family’s name in social interactions. She only refers to herself as Mrs. Bo, not Miss He, in public. No matter how powerful those people are, they still have to give face to the Bo family.”

He Yiyi had also heard of this master, which made her even more jealous of He Yan.

She was envious; He Yan, who came from the countryside, could talk to anyone.

"That's what she said?"

He Yunyi hesitated a little when he heard He Yiyi's words.

He also had some thoughts in his mind, feeling that He Yan's personality didn't seem like that of a vain person.

"That's because my elder brother doesn't know that my elder sister has a lot of opinions about our He family."

He Yiyi's feelings for He Yan were simply jealousy.

She hated He Yan for coming home and taking everything away, making her a laughingstock.

He Yan had no idea that He Yiyi had broken down again.

She couldn't refuse Master Yu's invitation, so she could only agree to visit him next time.

All the exhibits have been handed over, and it's already quite late.

He Yiyi coaxed her older brother to go out to eat with her.

"He Yan, Yi Yi and I are going to eat. Would you like to come with us?"

"You guys go ahead, I'm going home."

He Yan felt that she had promised Bo Siheng and couldn't break her promise, and she really didn't want to watch He Yiyi act.

Seeing He Yan leave, He Yiyi seized the opportunity to slander her.

"My sister really only cares about the Bo family and doesn't care about the He family at all."

"Does she really think we're not close to her?"

He Yunyi was also a little angry.

He hadn't expected that even after they had made such concessions to win He Yan back, she would still remain so indifferent.

……

When He Yan returned home, she saw that Yu Cheng and Jiang Lu had both come over.

The two stood in the living room, looking helpless.

"what happened?"

"Young Madam, please go and see for yourself."

Yu Cheng looked troubled and could only let He Yan comfort Master Bo herself.

After all, no matter how much they say, it's not as good as a single sentence from the young mistress.

He Yan was surprised and went upstairs to find Bo Siheng, only to find that he looked very unwell.

"are you uncomfortable?"

Bo Siheng crossed his hands and rested them on his forehead, his mood unusually low.

When he saw He Yan come in, his eyes were full of restraint.

"I have to go on a business trip tomorrow."
