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

"No... I, I just..."

Zhou Siyan was surprised to run into He Yiyi here, and she panicked, not knowing what to do.

The scrutinizing gazes around her made her wish she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

She knew the gap between herself and He Yunyi.

It was merely greed in his heart that led him to bring shame upon himself.

Perhaps she really shouldn't have come today.

"Yiyi, who is this?"

Shu Peilan was somewhat surprised that she didn't recognize the person in front of her.

Did He Yunyi have a girlfriend before? And why did they break up?

The girl was very clean and pretty, which bothered her a little.

My chances of winning seem slim.

He Yiyi looked at Zhou Siyan with undisguised malice in her eyes.

She deliberately turned her head away and covered her mouth with her hand.

"This Zhou Siyan is my older brother's ex. But her family is just too awful. They thought that by marrying into a wealthy family they could ask for an exorbitant amount, but in the end they got nothing."

"Ah? Is that so?"

Shu Peilan was shocked; she never expected that He Yunyi's ex-boyfriend would be such a person.

She felt inexplicably happy, thinking that she had a chance.

Zhou Siyan's face turned pale and then flushed.

She couldn't see what He Yiyi said, but she could guess from the disdainful looks in those people's eyes.

This familiar sense of humiliation made her feel as if she had returned to the day she broke up with He Yunyi.

Equally embarrassing.

"I'm sorry, I was just passing by, I'll be going now."

Zhou Siyan placed the cake on the front desk, trying her best to ignore the unfriendly stares.

She also knew that Shu Peilan was He Yunyi's blind date, and that she could never compete with her because of her status.

The sadness in my heart has gathered into a river.

"Don't go! You've come all this way, won't you see my older brother?"

He Yiyi grabbed Zhou Siyan directly; how could she let her leave so easily?

The malice in his eyes was a desire to humiliate her.

"And it's also a good opportunity for my older brother to see if Xiaolan and my older brother are a good match!"

"Match? I think it's ridiculous! He Yiyi, are you confident you can beat me in a prescription? How come you still have the leisure to come here and throw your little princess tantrum? It seems I should give you some tasks to do."

A haughty and domineering voice came from the doorway.

Everyone instinctively looked over.

He Yan walked in with an air of arrogance, her face expressionless but her eyes sharp.

"According to the code of conduct, the receptionist has a responsibility to maintain the company's image, but you witnessed He Yiyi's bullying but did not stop it. Was it because you were afraid of her identity? Then why didn't you tell your boss?"

The receptionist took a step back guiltily, not daring to say a word.

"Sister, don't help others if you don't know the truth."

He Yiyi was intimidated by He Yan's gaze and subconsciously let go of Zhou Siyan.

Once she realized what was happening, she was filled with resentment again.

"If your parents find out about what happened at the exhibition last time, do you think they won't be angry?"

"Shut your mouth. I don't want others to think that the He family has a problem with their upbringing."

He Yan glanced at her and pulled Zhou Siyan aside.

"Xiao Yan..."

Faced with this situation, Zhou Siyan felt that she had once again caused trouble for He Yan.

She wanted to say something, but was stopped by a look.

He Yan glanced at Shu Peilan and then called He Yunyi directly.

"Get down now, right now!"

"Xiaoyan, you've come to my company?"

He Yunyi, who was listening to a report in his office, received a call from He Yan, and his eyes lit up.

This was the first time He Yan had come to the company to see him.

"I'll come right away!"

The report was paused, and He Yunyi immediately went out.

In the hall, He Yiyi felt humiliated and wanted to continue targeting Zhou Siyan.

"Sister, Mom won't let that kind of woman into the He family."

"You've already met a very low bar to be allowed into the He family."

He Yan sneered, showing no intention of giving He Yiyi any face.

He Yiyi was so angry that her face turned pale.

Although Shu Peilan, who was standing to the side, did not know what kind of discord was going on within the He family, she could not help but speak up for He Yiyi.

"Miss He, isn't it inappropriate for family members to say such hurtful things?"

"Miss Shu should be careful in choosing her friends."

He Yan had no ill intentions towards Shu Peilan; she just wanted to remind her.

Anyone who gets involved with He Yiyi ends up being used and discarded by her.

Shu Peilan frowned, her face full of disapproval.

However, her status also made it inappropriate for her to get involved in the He family's affairs.

Zhou Siyan knew that He Yunyi was coming down and was worried that their family would have another falling out.

She held He Yan's hand and whispered words of advice.

"Xiaoyan, I know you want to help me, but I don't want to cause any more discord in your family because of me. Thank you for making it for me. The cake is for Yunyi. Please tell him that I'm leaving now."

As Zhou Siyan finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes.

But she also knew that there was no solution to this problem.

"you do not need……"

He Yan was about to comfort Zhou Siyan, but she had already turned and run away.

She frowned, and there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

It seems that He Yunyi's dream is unlikely to come true. The biggest problem is Zhou Siyan's own predicament and the fact that she is trapped by her family. It is too difficult for her to take a gamble and break free.

When He Yiyi saw Zhou Siyan come to terms with reality, her eyes were full of smugness.

So what if He Yan gets involved?

Those who emerge from the mire still have to go back.

With a 'ding' sound.

"Xiao Yan, what do you want from me?"

The elevator doors opened, and He Yunyi stepped out.

Upon seeing He Yiyi and Shu Peilan, he paused for a moment, his eyes clearly showing surprise.

It wasn't one woman, it was three women.

The situation doesn't seem too good either.

"Yiyi, Miss Shu, what are you both doing here?"

"Brother, you've come at the right time. Xiao Lan said she wanted to thank you for saving her on the road last time, so I brought her here to find you. We just happened to run into your ex-girlfriend, Zhou Siyan, who also wanted to come in without an appointment."

When He Yiyi saw her older brother, she immediately pretended to be pitiful, as if she had been bullied.

She also deliberately brought up the matter of leaving the He family.

Because she knew her family would never let that happen.

"I just said a few words to her, telling her to stop daydreaming, but my sister actually sided with her and scolded me, thinking that I shouldn't stay in the He family and that I would be letting down my parents' upbringing."

Shu Peilan also helped He Yiyi explain.

She didn't target Zhou Siyan because her upbringing wouldn't allow it.

However, because of her feelings for He Yunyi, she didn't realize that her attitude had changed.

"President He, this is not Yiyi's fault."

"I'm sorry, Miss Shu, you've witnessed a joke about my family."

He Yunyi frowned when he saw the cake left by Zhou Siyan, and then he understood when he saw He Yan's expression.

It was his negligence that prevented him from giving Xiaoyan a sufficient sense of security.

Fortunately, He Yan was there to help them.

"But Yiyi, I remember you used to be very sensible, why have you become like this now?"

He felt that his younger sister had become materialistic and wanted to interfere in his relationship.

Compared to He Yan's support for him, the difference was stark.

"I don't need anyone else to make decisions about my elder brother's affairs."

He Yunyi knew that his future path would be difficult, but no matter how difficult it was, he would not give up.

He also believed that He Yan could help him protect his lover.

Help him fight against the He family!
