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

"Mr. Lu, you misunderstand. I did not mean to threaten you."

Bo Yuanzhou looked somewhat wary, after all, he knew that Lu Yanzhe was just as crazy as Bo Siheng.

They are ruthless to others, but even more ruthless to themselves.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have lay low for so many years, all for this day.

When Bo Siheng's parents had their accident, he wanted to take control of the Bo family. However, the old lady saw through his ambition and used her influence to stop him and take back control of the Bo family.

They only handed over the Bo family to Bo Siheng after he came of age.

Over the years, there hasn't been a single moment when he wasn't filled with hatred.

Why should I always be the one being suppressed? Why is the old lady so biased?

Bo Yuanzhou was very unwilling.

So all these years he has been managing his own people within the Bo family company.

"Mr. Lu, I have reliable information that Bo Siheng is failing, which is why he is in such a hurry to file for divorce. He must want to protect He Yan. In this way, you will have a perfect opportunity."

"We can add another clause to our cooperation: I'll help you get He Yan (a type of cigarette), how about that?"

Lu Yanzhe leaned back in his chair, legs crossed, looking languid.

His hands, however, were rhythmically tapping the handrail.

"Does Second Master Bo mean to use He Yan as a bargaining chip in our cooperation?"

His facial expression remained relatively calm, but he was deep in thought.

He Yan and Bo Siheng's divorce is a good thing for him; at least he doesn't have to worry about how to get a chance.

He and He Yan met first, so why should Bo Siheng be the one to marry her?

Lu Yanzhe understood He Yan's personality.

Even if she gets a divorce, she might not accept him.

"But your information is inaccurate; Bo Siheng couldn't possibly be dead."

He knew He Yan wouldn't let Bo Siheng die because she was the successor of the legendary physician Feng Xianhe.

She surpassed her teacher, even more so than Doctor Feng.

This is why Lu Yanzhe is so eager to invite He Yan to become an advisor to his research institute. If he can also win her over, it will be a double boost for him and even the Lu family.

"Why are you so certain, Mr. Lu? You can rest assured, Bo Siheng will definitely die."

Bo Yuanzhou paused for a moment, then his expression became even more resolute.

He knew that Lu Yanzhe was simply testing him.

"Even if he doesn't die, his divorce from He Yan is already a fact."

"You are indeed right."

Lu Yanzhe smiled, but did not expose Bo Yuanzhou.

He also had his own plans in mind.

He was determined to take over the Bo family, but at the same time, He Yan's fate was also his goal.

"Alright, since Second Master Bo has shown his sincerity, I can't refuse again and again. I'll do as you say and wait for your good news."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I will definitely not let you down."

Bo Yuanzhou's smile was even more sincere.

With Lu Yanzhe's help, his plan is bound to succeed.

……

On the other side, He Yiyi was also ecstatic.

She looked at the announcement, her eyes filled with malice towards He Yan and greed towards Bo Siheng.

"I told you, with Mr. Bo's character, he would always keep his word. Now that he and He Yan are divorced, He Yan can only leave in disgrace. The more glamorous she was before, the more destitute she is now."

"It's just a divorce, you need to be careful. It's useless if people aren't on your mind."

Li Guanghui didn't feel happy about this at all.

Bo Siheng is a very shrewd person; otherwise, he wouldn't have expanded the Bo family business so much without making a sound.

Although he wanted to help his daughter, he wasn't sure she would have the opportunity.

"You need to be wary of He Yan and get Bo Siheng under your control as soon as possible."

Li Guanghui was also worried that He Yan would find out.

If she discovers something and intercepts Bo Siheng for treatment beforehand, all her previous efforts will be in vain.

“I know. I’ll go find Master Bo as soon as He Yan is kicked out of the Bo family.”

He Yiyi didn't care at all.

She was certain that Master Bo had taken her words to heart, that his marriage to He Yan was a conspiracy and a deception, and that he would definitely suspect that He Yan's child was of dubious origin.

"That would be for the best. I'll be leaving Beijing for a while, so please be careful in everything you do."

Li Guanghui received a reply from his subordinates that things were not going well in Cen County recently.

He needs to relocate the red cinnamon grass base as soon as possible.

To prevent the forces behind He Yan from finding out and ruining his plans.

***

The solution that He Yan and Bo Siheng had agreed upon was for them to publicly file for divorce and temporarily separate, so that they could each handle their own affairs in peace.

But she didn't expect that He's parents would come to the Bo family home to pick her up immediately.

"Xiaoyan, we sent you off to get married back then, and now that you're getting a divorce, we naturally have to bring you home."

"Although the He family is not as powerful or influential as the Bo family, it will always be your home."

He Zhengyuan is actually very protective of his own.

In particular, there is a secret between the father and daughter.

"Going home to live is good, and I can rest for a while."

"Yes, if you're not happy here, don't force yourself, Xiaoyan. Mom will always support any decision you make."

Su Wan's eyes reddened again, and she felt like crying after only a few words.

She forced Xiaoyan to marry, thinking that the Bo family would be a good place for her.

I never imagined that we would be unable to make ends meet so soon.

"I'm not unhappy, so please don't ask me any more questions about it."

He Yan didn't expect them to come and pick her up. This feeling was very different from when they reluctantly sent a car to pick her up from Lingxi Village and take her home.

At that time, she was a stranger to the He family and didn't care that they were her biological parents.

She simply adheres to the principle of "you treat me with respect, I'll treat you with even greater respect."

Seeing the two of them together now, I was immediately touched.

Is this a manifestation of blood ties?

"Then I'll pack up and go back to the He family with you."

He Yan smiled faintly, responding proactively in a rare display of emotion.

She turned and went into the villa, interrupting Bo Siheng, who was still in the study talking with Jiang Lu and Yu Cheng.

"I'm going home with my parents, so I came to tell you."

Bo Siheng's eyes flickered slightly, his expression somewhat surprised.

"You're leaving already?"

He suddenly realized that proposing a divorce was a terrible idea.

I never expected He Yan to want to go home.

Does that mean they'll have to be separated for a while?

Moreover, I could see a hint of excitement in her eyes, as if she had her parents backing her up.

"You're already divorced, why aren't you leaving?"

He Yan raised an eyebrow, amused by the sorrow that flashed in Bo Siheng's eyes.

Hmph! He brought it up himself.

It’s too late to regret now!

"Well... how about we eat here before we leave?"

Bo Siheng wanted to stay a little longer.

He felt uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything or make a fuss. He wanted He Yan to coax him like she used to.

"No, I can eat my mom's cooking when I go home!"

He Yan had no intention of letting him take advantage of her, so she snorted and turned to leave.

Jiang Lu and Yu Cheng watched the drama unfold silently on the sidelines, thank goodness they almost burst out laughing.

He Yan didn't have much to pack, since it was just a temporary formality anyway. She picked up a small travel bag, went downstairs, and got into the car with her parents and left.

Bo Siheng saw He Yan's back from the window, his face full of helplessness.

Did she never even think of looking back?

He felt that he had only himself to blame and deserved it.

Fortunately, he didn't have to die.
