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

Chapter 366 If you're a coward, don't pursue love; love fiercely.

"Xiao Yan, how could it be you?"

It was Su Wan who spoke up; she was also surprised, as things had taken such a dramatic turn.

As she listened to Zhou Siyan's account, she learned about the kind of family Zhou Siyan came from and how much she had endured.

Even so, it doesn't mean she would accept it out of pity.

Zhou Siyan was also stunned, then gave a bitter smile.

"Xiao Yan, you rid the people of a scourge, but unfortunately, I've brought him out again."

"Cause and effect are cyclical. No matter who it is, the evil they do will definitely come back to them in another way. Your parents and brother are sucking your blood. It is already good that you can bravely refuse."

He Yan sympathized with Zhou Siyan and admired her courage in taking such a desperate gamble.

This is already quite remarkable for someone whose mind has been confined for so long.

But, the same thing applies.

This isn't the only problem between Zhou Siyan and He Yunyi.

They all have families they can't let go of.

“If my parents hadn’t gone to find Yunyi, he wouldn’t have been hit by the car. In the end, it’s all my fault.”

Zhou Siyan hated her background and felt she didn't deserve someone as good as him.

That cage called home is one she can never escape in her entire life.

"Yunyi, I'm so sorry!"

He Yunyi knew it wasn't her fault, and instead comforted her.

He liked her because of her resilient nature and her spirit of never giving up no matter what happened.

"Xiaoyan, how could I blame you!"

He never cared what kind of family she came from.

He was just bothered by the fact that he wasn't strong enough and didn't have the ability to protect her.

Su Wan became even angrier after hearing the details.

"Xiao Yan, look at your older brother! He'd risk his life for a woman!"

The Su family was a family of upright officials, and she was subjected to the strictest rules from a young age.

So I just can't accept a daughter-in-law like that.

Her family already thought the He family was bad, and if they found out that her son was with a girl like that, they would be bombarded with all sorts of criticism.

She values ​​face above all else.

"You don't know yet, do you? The Zhou family members are all like leeches, they suck people up and won't let go."

He Zhengyuan's expression was somber. Although he wasn't as emotional as his wife, his gaze towards the two of them carried a subtle sense of pressure, indicating his displeasure.

An excellent son's sudden rebellion is a challenge to his authority.

And it was all because of a woman.

If this matter escalates, it will affect the entire He family.

"If you want to force a couple apart, you can just separate them so they can never see each other again."

He Yan frowned, understanding the reason for the standoff between the two sides.

She made the decision without hesitation.

Both sides have concerns, which is why they hope that a clear-headed person can make the decision.

Otherwise, if one were truly ruthless, this matter could be easily resolved.

He Yunyi's face turned green.

"Xiaoyan, you know I won't let go."

He knew that if this matter escalated, he wouldn't be able to handle it properly.

That's why I suggested that Xiaoyan go find He Yan.

Unexpectedly, this younger sister's opening remarks were a bombshell.

"Of course I know you can't, but this is the first problem you need to solve. You can't expect others to back down and accommodate you, or are you expecting me to persuade them for you?"

He Yan's eyes were cold, showing He Yunyi no respect whatsoever.

Because she knew that now was the time for him to provide Zhou Siyan with a guarantee.

Whether he can take responsibility for his own life depends on now.

Su Wan and He Zheng both looked over there.

They hoped their son would make the right decision.

But He Yunyi held Zhou Siyan's hand tightly, his eyes filled with determination.

"Mom and Dad, I have never asked you for anything since I was a child. I hope that this time, you can respect my choice. Xiaoyan and I cannot be separated."

He too was caught in a dilemma, equally unwilling to break free from that moral constraint.

Therefore, this act of showing weakness is also a way of hoping for the parents' approval.

Zhou Siyan stared in surprise, her eyes welling up with tears again.

Su Wan and He Zhengyuan were both stunned.

They never imagined that their proud son would say such a thing.

Is he choosing a woman over his parents?

"Yunyi, you..."

He Zhengyuan was also shocked that his son was obsessed with love, and that he was so captivated by Zhou Siyan that he was willing to put aside his pride in order to gain his parents' approval.

"Do you intend to abandon your parents and leave us behind?"

His voice was filled with anger, yet he maintained his good manners.

"He Yunyi, you're such a coward, you're like a wimp!"

He Yan also frowned, clearly dissatisfied with He Yunyi's cowardice at this crucial moment.

He wasn't even as courageous as Zhou Siyan.

"You can't choose your birth, but you can take many crossroads. Different choices will affect the next few decades. If you think that feelings are so important that you can't let go, then don't be hesitant. What matters is whether the people around you are worth it."

He Yan never thought she would always stand on one side.

She just felt that if a person can't even protect what they care about, then they are truly incapable of protecting themselves.

Then saying anything about the future is just empty talk.

"He Yunyi, do you dare to make a decision?"

"Xiaoyan, you know me best, you know my difficulties."

He Yunyi was shocked, never expecting He Yan to say that about him.

A look of panic flashed in his eyes, a result of the dual pressure he faced from his family and loved ones.

Ultimately, it's because he's afraid to make a decision.

"I just wanted to resolve this matter gradually without hurting either side. It's not that I don't want to..."

"Yun Yi! I won't agree! Unless you abandon your parents."

Su Wan's eyes were red, and she was being so assertive for the first time.

She lived her life within the framework set for her by her father, and therefore hoped that her son would continue to follow it.

Such grand gestures are often accompanied by unconventional and rebellious behavior.

No matter what you say, I will not accept her!

He Yan then turned to look at Su Wan.

"Things will turn into their opposites when they reach their extremes; no matter how hard you push, you may not achieve your goal."

She never approves of biased reasons; what she wants is for both sides to clearly express their own views. As for whether they agree or accept each other's opinions, that's something they need to convince each other of.

If we can reach an agreement, that would be best.

If they can't reach an agreement, then we'll see which side will ultimately compromise.

"Yunyi, you don't need to worry about me. Your parents are the most important."

Zhou Siyan was crying uncontrollably.

The courage she had finally mustered crumbled the moment her parents went to find He Yunyi.

"Mr. He, Mrs. He, I'm sorry! It's all because of me. I love Yunyi, but I also don't want to be a burden to him, so please rest assured, I will leave him completely."

Zhou Siyan bowed to the two of them to apologize, and then looked at He Yunyi with reluctance.

"Yunyi, I don't want you to get injured again."

Her heart was in so much pain.

The gap between them was indeed insurmountable.

After Zhou Siyan finished speaking, she turned around and ran out of the ward.

"Xiao Yan!"

He Yunyi panicked and tried to grab her, but he could only grasp at thin air.

He felt frustrated and couldn't accept the outcome.

"Xiaoyan, why did you say that?!"

His dear sister, won't you help him?
