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

He Yan looked at the car with some surprise, and looked beyond Yu Cheng.

Even though there was a privacy screen protector in the way, she could still seem to see Bo Siheng's gaze.

"I'm fine, the matter is not difficult to resolve."

She offered an explanation almost instinctively, as if afraid he would worry.

He Yunyi stood there stunned, never expecting that Master Bo would come to pick up He Yan in person.

Judging from this, she seems to be doing quite well in the Bo family.

Following in Bo Ye's footsteps, Yu Cheng also learned to see through people's hearts.

He put on a formulaic smile.

"Mr. He, have you finished catching up with my young mistress? If there's nothing else, Mr. Bo is still waiting."

"Uh, it's nothing. Be careful on your way."

He Yunyi felt inexplicably awkward, so he didn't say anything more to He Yan.

He was also very curious about his brother-in-law.

He Yan nodded and got into the car.

the other side.

He Zhengyuan and Su Wan were also chatting in the room.

“We’ve all become less patient with Xiaoyan and have been too quick to believe one side of the story. I’ve seen her behavior at the pharmaceutical factory recently, and we should give her more opportunities.”

"But you can't just favor He Yan, what about Yi Yi?"

Although Su Wan felt a little guilty towards He Yan, she still couldn't bear to part with Yi Yi.

That was her daughter, whom she had pampered and raised with utmost care.

"We've already been biased enough towards Yiyi."

For the first time, He Zhengyuan had some reservations about his wife.

In fact, he was the same way before he met He Yan.

Ultimately, it all comes down to prejudice.

Su Wan frowned, her expression conflicted.

"I will try my best to treat everyone equally from now on."

Neither of them knew that He Yiyi was standing outside the door at that moment.

She had brought her mother a bowl of bird's nest soup, but she overheard the conversation inside and was completely stunned.

While feeling heartbroken, she also harbored resentment towards He Yan.

"Tang Xiaoyue is indeed a good-for-nothing. I'll have to do it myself."

in the car.

Bo Siheng kept glancing at He Yan and noticed that her expression was not good.

"Are you alright? Were you unhappy at the He family's house?"

It seemed that without realizing it, he began to care more and more about her.

"No, it's just that it's too late and it's keeping me from going to sleep."

He Yan propped her head up with her hand and squinted her eyes.

She wasn't angry; it was just that the rain was getting heavier and the traffic was congested, which made her feel irritable.

"You can lean against me and sleep for a while. I'll wake you up when we get home."

Bo Siheng's voice was gentle.

He Yan looked back at him and suddenly smiled.

"Okay."

She kept her word and leaned on Bo Siheng's shoulder, closing her eyes to rest.

Bo Siheng stiffened subconsciously for a moment, then quickly relaxed.

The car was cramped, and with the two of them sitting so close together, he could clearly smell the refreshing and pleasant herbal scent emanating from her, which gradually calmed his mood.

At the same time, a strange feeling rose in Bo Siheng's heart.

Finally back home.

Bo Siheng saw that He Yan was sleeping soundly and hesitated whether to carry her back.

But just as his hand touched her waist...

He Yan immediately opened her eyes and looked up at Bo Siheng.

At that moment, their lips almost touched.

"...Are you home yet?"

He Yan's eyes narrowed, and she immediately pulled the two of them apart.

Bo Siheng was still in a daze when, in that instant, he suddenly thought of the kiss in the car that night.

"Yes, I was thinking of carrying you inside since you weren't awake."

"No, I'll go by myself."

After finishing her sentence, He Yan got out of the car and went into the villa first.

Bo Siheng followed behind, frowning, still somewhat confused.

He Yan seemed to really want his body before, and she touched him inappropriately on their wedding night.

But sometimes, she was cold and distant, as if it were all his imagination.

Is she playing hard to get?

...

The next day was the He family's drug launch event.

This was the first time He Yan had seen such a complete R&D team; it seemed they had been preparing for a long time.

When she went to sign in, a tall, thin middle-aged man was standing in front of her.

The man wore glasses and looked very refined, but he seemed too honest and not good at talking. Even when someone cut in line in front of him, he just smiled and didn't say anything, and his expression was somewhat reserved.

He Yan glanced at the name written on the other person's work ID: Li Guanghui.

Li Guanghui was once again cut in line, and the other person even forcefully pushed him aside.

This caused him to lose his balance and bump into He Yan behind him.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"It's ok."

He Yan didn't blame him. Instead, she reached out and ripped off the work ID of the person who had cut in line.

The man was being pulled backward and was about to get angry when he realized it was He Yan.

"Go to the back of the line."

He Yan had no expression but exuded a powerful aura.

The person who tried to cut in line immediately backed down and had no choice but to obediently stand at the back.

Li Guanghui snapped out of his daze and immediately gave He Yan an embarrassed smile.

"Thank you, Miss He."

He Yan simply nodded and said nothing more.

The new drug launch was a great success, and He Yiyi, as the keynote speaker, stole the show.

He Yan discovered that, apart from being arrogant and conceited, she was indeed outstanding in these aspects.

Afterwards, He Yan and He Zhengyuan went to see the production line together.

She discovered that the He family had actually prepared the medicinal herbs listed in her master's prescription.

So the prescription is genuine.

Why didn't I see these medicinal herbs at the pharmacy?

"This is also for the sake of secrecy. Many people covet the formula, and we cannot reveal even the slightest clue before the drug is developed, otherwise other companies will find out."

He Zhengyuan's main concern was the Jin family, because he knew that Jin Tianlang was shameless.

"Who did you buy that prescription from?"

He Yan frowned; she seemed to be getting close to the truth.

Could he be the mastermind behind it all?

"It's a man named Zhang Quan."

He Zhengyuan had no suspicions about He Yan, so he told her everything.

"Zhang Quan?"

He Yan had never heard of this name before, but it was clear that he must also be related to his master's affairs.

Upon returning to the Bo family home, she immediately logged onto the dark web to conduct a comprehensive search for Zhang Quan's information.

They quickly located an underground exchange.

When Lao Dong saw that Ace's account was online, he almost jumped up in his chair with excitement.

"My lucky charm is back!"

He immediately sent an internal message to Ace.

As soon as the message was sent, it showed that the other party had gone offline.

Old Dong was immediately distraught.

After finding the location, He Yan contacted Lin An'an.

"Who is this Bai Wuye?"

"What did you find out? As far as I know, it's an underground black market. No matter where your stuff comes from, you can trade it there. You can't go through the proper channels."

Knowing how much He Yan valued Master Chuang's matter, Lin An'an immediately told him everything she knew.

"They only open after 1 a.m., and they sell everything there."

"okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, He Yan decided to go there.

At 1 a.m., He Yan changed her clothes and quietly left the house, fully disguised.

Meanwhile, Bo Siheng heard the commotion and came out as well.

He was a light sleeper and could be woken up by the slightest noise, but what intrigued him even more was why He Yan would go out in the middle of the night, which made him want to find out.

What is He Yan doing here?

Seeing Bai Wuye only deepened Bo Siheng's doubts.

He always felt that He Yan was hiding a secret.

In fact, He Yan had already noticed that Bo Siheng was following her.

She didn't want him to find out, so she had to deal with him first before going in to investigate.

Before Bo Siheng could react, he watched helplessly as He Yan crashed into his arms.

A hint of cunning lurked in her eyes.

"Mr. Bo, why are you following me?"

The distance between the two is very close.

Looking into He Yan's clear eyes in the night, his heart suddenly started beating uncontrollably.
