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

“Xiaoyan, Mom knows that I have mistreated you before. When you first came home, you refused to greet us, and I was very angry. But later, Mom realized my mistake, so I have always wanted to make it up to you.”

Su Wan and He Zhengyuan were both flattered.

The way He Yan is addressed today also signifies that she is willing to accept them.

"Mom is really happy, thank you for accepting us."

Even the usually serious and upright He Zhengyuan was moved.

"I always said, sincerity can move mountains!"

He felt that he had made the best choice back then.

Bo Siheng sensed that He Yan in his arms was a little uncomfortable, and a hint of dazedness flashed in his eyes as he looked at her.

His gaze softened, a sign of his happiness for He Yan.

She was willing to give the He family a chance, which was also a way of reconciling with her past self.

"Xiaoyan is very kind, she deserves everyone to treat her well."

He Yan also looked up at Bo Siheng in surprise.

He's speaking up for himself.

Even in front of the He family members who were related to her by blood, his favoritism towards her never wavered.

“I never really expected anything, because I’ve been used to this kind of life since I was a child.”

He Wenming frowned, somewhat surprised but not much.

He didn't know his sister's past and couldn't empathize with her.

He Yan used to think that she didn't need this kind of family affection.

Because she has a master, fellow disciples, and An'an, who grew up with her.

She has experienced the affection of different people and has always believed that if others are kind to her, she will reciprocate in kind.

In her view, any relationship needs to have certain prerequisites.

Now, He's parents have taken the initiative to build this bridge.

So He Yan suddenly realized at some point that perhaps she could try to accept it.

“My feelings tell me that it sees your sincerity, so I will accept it, I will reciprocate, and I will open my heart, but I cannot guarantee that I can fully accept it all at once.”

Before He Yan could finish speaking, Su Wan was already leaning on her husband, weeping with joy.

"Mom knows, Mom can wait, as long as you are willing to acknowledge me."

"This is a happy occasion, why are you crying?"

He Zhengyuan supported his wife, and while moved, he couldn't help but tease her.

But actually, his eyes were also sore.

Facing their own biological daughter, they are just ordinary parents. While giving their child tenderness and love, they also hope that their child will have the same feelings for them, to fill the emptiness of the past.

The moment this longing is fulfilled, all the effort is elevated.

"Mom and Dad, you're overreacting. He Yan was just calling your name once and you're already this happy?"

Isn't this just how it should be?

He Wenming didn't understand and thought they were making a mountain out of a molehill.

Because of what He Yiyi said, he believed that He Yan was deliberately throwing a tantrum after returning home from being away for twenty years, so that her family would coax and pamper her.

This is too pretentious.

“He Yan, you’re not superior to anyone even after marrying into the Bo family. How can your parents be so careful to ask you for a proper address? You’re so disrespectful. It wasn’t our fault that you were switched at birth.”

"You brat! What nonsense are you spouting here?"

He Zhengyuan couldn't stand it and slapped his second son on the back of the head.

He saw that Master Bo looked unwell and felt somewhat apprehensive.

I should have called him back when He Yan came back and told him what had happened in the past few months.

Only this scoundrel son will realize that He Yan was indeed worth it.

"President He really should educate his son properly. I can't bear to see my wife suffer, let alone anyone else."

Bo Siheng curled his lips, but his eyes were cold and devoid of emotion.

He was happy for He Yan because the He family had come to their senses.

But this second brother is an exception; it seems we must teach him a lesson and let him know what the truth is.

"Wenming, I'm having a great time, don't ruin the mood!"

Su Wan was also a little angry, feeling that her son was being unreasonable.

Instead of showing any sympathy for his sister, he kept belittling her.

"Your sister has finally come back to us, isn't it only right that we treat her well? As her brother, you also need to make up for the love you owed Xiaoyan over the past twenty years!"

"Actually, I don't really need it. Like I said, all relationships are reciprocal."

He Yan sat up from Bo Siheng's arms, her eyes indifferent.

She didn't say that she and He Wenming had never met.

Rather, she knew that He Wenming and He Yiyi were closer.

"He Wenming, you don't have to like me, and naturally I don't have to like you either."

"Xiaoyan, don't be angry. Your second brother is being unreasonable. Mom will scold him for you."

Su Wan was afraid that her daughter, whom she had finally managed to coax back, would drift away from her again.

She frowned and patted her son.

"You must be tired today, right? Then Mom won't bother you anymore. Remember to rest more during your pregnancy, and come home for dinner whenever you have time. Mom will be waiting for you at home anytime."

"Wenming, hurry up and leave, don't embarrass yourself in front of Master Bo."

He Zhengyuan also muttered a reprimand in a low voice, and then took his wife and prepared to leave.

They couldn't very well compete with Master Bo for the man anymore.

"Mom and Dad, have you talked it over with my sister? Are you going to come home together to welcome our second brother back?"

Just then, He Yiyi ran back and was shocked to see what was happening.

What mischief did He Yan get up to while she was away?

Could it be that Second Brother also believes He Yan?

"Yiyi, Xiaoyan isn't coming back with us. We'll have dinner another time."

He Zhengyuan and Su Wan were still immersed in the happy mood of He Yan accepting them.

But then she got upset thinking about how much trouble her son caused her.

"okay!"

He Yiyi's gaze lingered on Master Bo for a while.

Why are her desires never fulfilled?

Then his gaze fell on He Yan, who looked like she hadn't woken up yet, and his doubts remained unanswered.

She did see Luna leave, but He Yan was still there.

"So, are we going back?"

He Yiyi was very resentful when she saw her second brother's sour face.

She felt smug, knowing that her second brother wouldn't be so easily fooled by He Yan.

“Mom and Dad, please don’t be angry with Second Brother. He just came back and wants the family to be reunited. But if Sister doesn’t want it, she shouldn’t let Second Brother and Mom and Dad have a falling out.”

When He Yan saw the surprised expression on He Yiyi's face when she came over, she knew that He Yiyi hadn't noticed anything.

She knew her best friend's talent; she could imitate anything perfectly.

This is also the tacit understanding they've maintained for the past twenty years.

Sometimes, when she needed to use a certain identity to do something, she would have Lin An'an impersonate her.

It has never failed to distract others.

"He Yiyi, you're not even here, yet you still know that I'm the one who caused the unpleasantness between He Wenming and Mom and Dad?"

"Yiyi, why are you becoming more and more tactless with your words?"

Su Wan was a little unhappy and subconsciously sided with He Yan.

"It's not a big deal that your second brother is back. How can we let Xiaoyan, who is pregnant, go through all this trouble!"

"Alright, let's hurry back too."

He Zhengyuan, with a stern face, led them all away.

He Wenming was dejected, and He Yiyi didn't dare to argue back.

Before she left, she turned back and gave He Yan a reluctant look.

That one glance was filled with hatred.
