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

Upon returning to the Bo family home, Madam Bo was already waiting for them.

"Little Yan is back! Come here quickly. Grandma has prepared a lot of clothes, shoes, and matching jewelry for you. Come and try them on and see which one you like best so we can wear it to the ball."

As soon as He Yan entered the door, the old lady eagerly came out to greet her.

She happily pulled He Yan inside.

Bo Siheng followed behind, but was the one who was ignored.

"Grandma, did you prepare all of this?"

He Yan was somewhat flattered.

Because of Grandma Bo's unconditional love and affection.

In the spacious living room, there is a large shelf filled with dresses of various styles, some long and some short, all in fresh colors that young people like.

On the other side were different bags, shoes, and sets of jewelry.

He Yan's heart stirred slightly; the feeling of being cherished was wonderful.

"Aheng, don't just sit there, come over and help Xiaoyan pick some things out."

Madam Bo disliked his lack of romantic understanding.

This is the perfect time to cultivate feelings; why can't he see through it?

"Young people all like to have fun. If you chat more, you'll find common ground. Besides, what girl can resist pretty clothes? If you take the initiative a little more, Xiaoyan will be happy!"

While He Yan was looking at the dress, Madam Bo quickly gave her a quiet lesson.

"...I understand, Grandma."

Bo Siheng coughed lightly, placing his fist near his mouth, to ease the awkwardness.

He couldn't refuse, so he went to He Yan's side to act as her advisor.

Madam Bo was finally satisfied, and then she specially sat down in front of the French windows on the other side of the living room to drink tea.

"Xiaoyan, take your time choosing, no rush. Keep picking until you find one you like."

The smile in the old lady's eyes never faded.

The more you look at this young couple, the more compatible they seem; they'll definitely have good news about a pregnancy soon.

Bo Siheng noticed that He Yan had fair skin and a tall figure, so he chose a light blue halter dress with a special soft tulle overlay that shimmered with silver light under different lighting conditions.

He Yan cooperated throughout the entire process.

"Okay, I trust your judgment."

He Yan is a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, and she never forces any interpersonal relationships. She is only willing to come back because her grandfather treats her well, and she will also respect her grandmother who treats her well.

Her sham marriage to Bo Siheng was, in a sense, also a way of repaying a debt of gratitude.

After a while.

He Yan changed into a formal dress and came out.

"How about it?"

Bo Siheng was looking down at the jewelry when he heard the sound and saw a splash of blue.

Above that was He Yan's delicate and flawless face.

His eyes flickered with a look of awe at her beauty.

Madam Bo immediately put down her teacup and walked over with a smile.

"Our Xiaoyan is beautiful, she looks good in anything! But it seems like she's missing something."

"I'm missing a set of jewelry."

Bo Siheng withdrew his gaze, smiled, and put a necklace on He Yan's head.

They were very close in an instant.

He Yan turned her head and met his gaze, her pupils reflecting his face.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

...

The atmosphere inside the car was inexplicably a little awkward.

Bo Siheng looked at He Yan; she was even more charming after dressing up, and it was the first time he had ever seen her in a dress.

He Yan noticed that Bo Siheng's gaze was fixed on her, which surprised her.

"Don't you recognize me? Or are you just not used to me like this?"

She has a rather mild temperament, but she is never pretentious.

Being with Bo Siheng is a completely new experience for her, so she is still figuring it out.

"No, I just think you're very pretty."

Bo Siheng was generous with his praise.

That was a heartfelt evaluation, devoid of any mocking intent.

"Then I accept your compliment."

He Yan glanced sideways and smiled faintly, while also looking back at the person she was looking at.

Today, Bo Siheng was wearing a handmade suit, looking elegant and dignified, a different feeling from when I had seen him before.

"Do you want to come in with me?"

Before long, the two arrived at the venue of the ball – the Haiyan Hotel.

That was the largest hotel in Beijing.

"No, I have other collaborations to work with."

Bo Siheng handed the invitation to He Yan.

He came here because of the Bo family's status, but he had his own motives.

His identity will not be made public, and he doesn't have the energy to socialize.

"Okay, I'll go by myself."

He Yan got out of the car with the invitation in her hand, exuding confidence and composure.

Bo Siheng's mind stirred slightly, and he called out to her.

"and many more……"

He Yan turned around, her eyes filled with doubt.

Bo Siheng guessed that He Yan's situation in the He family was not good, and couldn't help but give her some advice.

"These kinds of dance parties are mostly for people who want to show off and compete with each other. It's all fake. You don't need to feel wronged because of your status."

"Yes, I understand."

He Yan smiled, a genuine smile from the heart.

She never lets herself suffer a loss.

The two parted ways at the hotel entrance.

Bo Siheng put on a silver-rimmed mask to cover his face and went directly to the VIP room on the second floor from the other side.

...

So-called high-society banquets are nothing more than a way for wealthy families to show off to each other.

Not just anyone can come here.

Only those with sufficient status and position are eligible to be invited.

As soon as Su Wan and He Yiyi entered, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.

The He family is nothing compared to a top-tier wealthy family like the Bo family, but in the eyes of other ordinary wealthy families, they are someone who needs to be flattered and praised.

He Yiyi went all out for tonight's dance.

She wore a burgundy strapless fishtail dress and her face was adorned with delicate and gentle makeup.

She strikes the perfect balance between allure and innocence.

"Mrs. He, you've arrived! Miss Yiyi has truly blossomed into a beautiful young woman, becoming more and more beautiful every day!"

Some wealthy women immediately surrounded the two.

The compliments were piled on He Yiyi as if they were free.

This greatly satisfied her vanity.

Seeing that Su Wan had made a name for herself, He Huijun also took Tang Xiaoyue over to say hello.

She also wanted to let her daughter make an appearance so that she could marry into a wealthy family of equal social standing and save face for herself.

Most people in this circle have business dealings with each other.

So everyone starts bragging as soon as they meet.

When these wealthy women talked about He Yiyi, they also thought of the real daughter of the He family who had just returned home.

"I heard that the young mistress of the Bo family will be coming tonight, but we haven't met her yet."

"Mrs. He, you'll have to give us a proper introduction later."

When He Yan was mentioned, Su Wan's expression stiffened.

She could clearly sense some unfriendly stares from those around her.

"Oh dear, you don't know, do you? Our He family's real daughter is no ordinary person. She has a big temper at such a young age and doesn't respect us elders at all."

He Huijun was always looking forward to seeing Su Wan make a fool of herself.

Some of the wealthy women around immediately showed expressions of anticipation, as if they were watching a good show.

They had also heard about the real daughter of the He family, and saw that Su Wan still kept the fake daughter by her side. It seemed that she didn't care about her biological daughter at all.

It seems that the daughter who just returned home is a stain on the He family's reputation.

"It seems that Su Wan's heart is not biased, otherwise why would she only like He Yiyi?"

"They were even willing to marry off their own daughter for the sake of the Bo family's investment."

The wealthy women were jealous that the He family could form a marriage alliance with the Bo family, and they looked down on He Yan even more.

To be honest, they were all just jealous.

“Mom treats my sister and me equally. Besides, she is the true daughter of the He family, and the marriage with the Bo family should belong to my sister. I was raised by my parents for so long, and now I just want to repay them.”

At this moment, He Yiyi stood up to protect the He family.

She was happy to see others mock He Yan, but she couldn't let the He family get involved.

Because that would affect her.

Su Wan liked He Yiyi even more when she saw how much she cared about the He family.

At this moment, He Yan became the subject of discussion.

After verifying the invitation, I slowly walked in.

"Mrs. Bo, please come in."

Upon hearing the waiter's voice, everyone turned to look.
