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

He Yan brought the warmth of sunshine, which seemed to dispel the chill emanating from Bo Siheng when he got close.

"I am He Yan."

She took the initiative to shake his hand and felt his pulse.

After a moment of confusion, Bo Siheng came to his senses.

He admitted his mistake.

The only thing he remembered from that night was their burning body temperature and the woman's alluringly sweet breath.

However, He Yan's face and aura were unfamiliar.

"Miss He?"

Bo Siheng frowned and coughed twice. He could not accept any woman getting close to him or touching him.

"You're here on behalf of the He family to discuss the marriage?"

His voice was the familiar, deep, and pleasant one I'd heard in the car that night.

He Yan came to repay a debt of gratitude, but didn't want to bring up the dark history of sacrificing herself to cure the poison.

However, Bo Siheng was too severely poisoned and, without further treatment, his life was nearing its end.

The best solution is to use a marriage alliance between the He and Bo families as a cover.

He Yan took a step back, smiled at him, and asked directly, "Yeah, do you want a wife?"

"You want to marry me?"

Bo Siheng's voice was low and husky, and his gaze toward her was full of inquiry.

"Wasn't it you who urged the He family to fulfill the marriage agreement?"

He Yan countered with a question.

She hates owing favors, and she'll give him whatever he wants in return.

The Bo family is rich, powerful, and also sick.

Her way of repaying the favor was, of course, to cater to his preferences.

"I promise to marry you."

Jiang Lu let out a cold laugh upon hearing those words.

Just as rumored, the real heiress of the He family even tried to steal He Yiyi's engagement!

Of course, a socialite like He Yiyi would be a more suitable match for the Bo family's engagement.

"The Bo family specifically requested He Yiyi to marry him. Is this marriage contract something the He family can simply change if they want?"

"It's not a change. The one engaged to the Bo family is the real heiress of the He family. Don't you know that He Yiyi is a fake heiress?"

He Yan smiled brightly; her attitude wasn't one of discussion, but rather of informing someone.

"If Mr. Bo wants to get married, he can only marry me, or he can break off the engagement!"

Upon hearing this, Bo Siheng was somewhat surprised.

He knew the He family didn't want to honor the marriage agreement, but none of them dared to bring up the matter of breaking off the engagement.

I didn't expect He Yan to dare to say it.

"Miss He, haven't you heard the rumors about me? Aren't you afraid that marrying me will make you a widow?"

He Yan stared at Bo Siheng for a moment.

"You don't look like someone who will die young; maybe I'll bring you good fortune."

She raised an eyebrow and asked arrogantly, "Do you need me to give you some time to think about it?"

Jiang Lu couldn't help but click his tongue in astonishment. He hadn't expected this young girl to come to the Bo family to force him into marriage!

Could it be that she fell in love with Si Heng at first sight?

No wonder, who wouldn't be attracted to that face?

for a long time.

Bo Siheng spoke in a low voice.

"You should think this through. I only need a wife for three months."

He knew that his poisoning had been flaring up more and more frequently lately.

If no miracle doctor can be found to cure the poison, the doctor determined that he would have at most three months to live.

The internal power struggles within the family are turbulent and unpredictable, and he needs to get married to stabilize the precarious Bo family.

Since He Yan is willing to marry, as long as she can behave herself as Mrs. Bo for three months.

He will make a will and divorce her when the time comes.

"Three months?"

He Yan realized that he was making arrangements for his funeral.

Unfortunately, she was certain she could cure him.

"Okay, get ready to marry me."

...

three days later.

The marriage between the Bo and He families was conducted in a very low-key manner.

Because Bo Siheng was unwell, no wedding ceremony was arranged.

When the auspicious time arrived, only two cars from the Bo family arrived and parked in front of the He family villa.

The He family's living room was decorated with a festive atmosphere.

However, He Zhengyuan and Su Wan did not need to entertain their in-laws, because no one from the Bo family came to greet them.

Su Wan felt even more relieved that Yi Yi wouldn't have to suffer after marrying into the family.

"Sister-in-law, why hasn't He Yan come downstairs yet? I haven't met her. He Yan must be just as outstanding as Yi Yi."

The speaker, He Huijun, is Old Master He's daughter, and next to her is her daughter, Tang Xiaoyue.

"Auntie, my sister is even better than me. You'll meet her soon."

He Yiyi sat down next to Su Wan and answered gently.

"Yiyi is such a good girl, no wonder your parents are reluctant to let you get married."

He Huijun spoke in a sarcastic and unsettling tone.

She had always disliked Su Wan, and the two women had been engaged in a power struggle within the He family for many years.

Originally, Su Wansheng's three children were all promising; her two sons were outstanding, and her daughter was ranked number one on the socialite list.

But now, the He Yan we brought back is both unsophisticated and lacks manners.

He Huijun seemed to have found a stain on Su Wan's reputation; she wasn't here to congratulate her, but rather to watch her make a fool of herself.

At this moment, He Yan came down from the second floor.

She was still wearing jeans and a hoodie, her hair was tied in a ponytail, but she wasn't wearing a hat, and her fair face wasn't covered by makeup.

"She is He Yan?"

He Huijun exclaimed in exaggerated surprise, "They don't look like my brother and sister-in-law at all. Could we have picked up the wrong people?"

"He Yan, do you know what day it is today?"

Hearing her sister-in-law's mockery, Su Wan couldn't help but storm over to He Yan.

"Why shouldn't you use what I prepared for you? If you don't want to put on makeup and dress up, at least wear a dress. You don't look like a woman dressed like this. If the Bo family sees you like this, they'll think the He family is impolite. Go and change your clothes right away."

He Yan raised her eyes, ignoring the disgust and urging in Su Wan's words, and asked in return, "Change? Change He Yiyi's marriage?"

"How can this be!"

Su Wan immediately refused with a cold face.

She was still worried that the Bo family would be watching Yiyi, and what if the Bo family wanted to change the bride at the last minute!

"I really don't understand why the Bo family would agree to let He Yan marry into the family in place of Yi Yi. They can't have a phoenix, so they can't have a sparrow."

He Huijun's words were full of disparagement and mockery of He Yan, implying that He Yan was her sister-in-law.

She blamed herself for not marrying well enough and always wanted her daughter to marry well.

Originally, He Yiyi didn't want to get married, but she wanted to marry Xiaoyue into the family instead.

The Bo family is, after all, the richest family in Beijing. Once that person dies, the young mistress of the Bo family will definitely be able to inherit the family fortune.

Who would have thought that He Yan, whom they brought back, would even try to take their place as a widow!

"The Bo family's aesthetic standards have declined far too much."

Tang Xiaoyue's eyes swept over He Yan from head to toe, filled with blatant contempt and disdain.

I don't know what's so good about this country girl compared to her, that the Bo family actually agreed to a marriage alliance with her.

He Yan found it funny.

The two of them looked so sour, as if they wanted everyone to know they were jealous.

"The Bo family's aesthetic sense is quite normal; they don't even want those they don't like, they just settle for second best."

How did she know the Bo family didn't approve of her?

Tang Xiaoyue wasn't sure if she had been humiliated, but she couldn't bear the thought of her feelings being exposed.

"What did you say! Do you think I want to get married?"

He Yan didn't even bother to acknowledge her.

Tang Xiaoyue, still angry, deliberately tried to sow discord by asking, "When Sister Yiyi was sick before, my two cousins ​​would always rush back no matter how busy they were. Why haven't we seen them today?"

"Xiaoyue, both my eldest and second brothers are too busy with work."

He Yiyi took the initiative to come over to He Yan and explained, "It's a happy occasion for my sister to marry into the Bo family today. You don't need to worry. I will take good care of Mom and Dad at home. Sister, you should come home to visit often when you have time."

A hint of provocation flashed in her smile.

The real heiress was forced into a marriage in place of another and became a widow; she is still the only heiress in the He family!

He Yan raised an eyebrow with a half-smile.

“If you are truly filial, it’s not too late for you to marry into the Bo family now.”

"..."

He Yiyi dared not reply.

At this moment, He Zheng went to invite the old man.

Butler Li from the Bo family walked in carrying a velvet gift box.

"Miss He, this is a gift from the old lady to you."

He Huijun and Tang Xiaoyue both craned their necks to look over, and even Su Wan was very curious.

The Bo family is the richest family in the world. What kind of gift would they give as a greeting?

Upon opening the gift box, one finds a vintage-style jade necklace. The design appears somewhat old, and the jade has what looks like cracks.

"Why would you give an old necklace as a gift? It's cracked, it's definitely not some valuable jade."

Tang Xiaoyue was warned by her mother for muttering her complaints in a low voice.

In truth, He Huijun also scoffed at it in her heart.

It's unbelievable that the Bo family, the richest family in the world, is so stingy. They didn't hold a wedding and couldn't even afford a decent gift for their first meeting.

It must be because President Bo is nearing his end, and the Bo family is desperate for a talisman to bring good luck, which is why they chose He Yan.

Fortunately, she didn't marry her daughter off to him, otherwise it would have been all for naught.

Su Wan's expression was also awkward.

However, Butler Li saw their reaction but didn't want to explain.

This jade necklace is a treasured possession of the Bo family, worth billions.

An antique auction in Beijing once offered 300 million yuan to display this piece, but it was only for public viewing; ordinary people wouldn't even have the chance to see it.

He Yan reached out and gently touched it.

This imperial green jadeite of this grade is very well preserved. The dark green cracks on the surface are flowing jade blood threads. The necklace is also handmade. It is very well preserved and was a treasure of the royal family and nobility in its time.

This is a rare treasure; it seems that Madam Bo is quite knowledgeable about antiques.

"Please thank Grandma Bo for me."
