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

“Chen Lingxue has been dead for several years, so no matter what you say, there’s no way to verify it.”

Madam Bo looked grave and was overwhelmed by the news.

She had hated Yan Lihua for decades, and now she was suddenly told that she had blamed the wrong person. How could she accept that?

Although the Bo and Lu families were close friends back then, she never learned the so-called truth.

Over the years, the estrangement between the two families has become an accepted fact.

"Yan Lihua, you're lying to me, aren't you?"

Believe it or not, it's up to you! I have no obligation to explain myself to you!

Madam Lu was furious and sat down to the side, sulking and ignoring everyone.

Since her husband's death, she has struggled alone. She finally looked forward to her grandson growing up, and he has also achieved great things. He has also met He Yan. She thought that the Lu family could finally get rid of the curse.

But unexpectedly, it all turned out to be just a pipe dream.

If the Lu family cannot recover, they may soon have to give up their position to others.

She had no one to confide in about her suffering.

"Yan Lihua, what kind of attitude is this? If you are innocent, why haven't you spoken out for so many years?"

Even Madam Bo couldn't understand why she had been misunderstood by herself for so long.

But those people from back then have long since passed away or died, and she herself doesn't have many years left to live.

The truth, which had been buried for decades, was suddenly unearthed.

They were once best friends when they were young.

"After the Lu family moved to Haicheng, did you, Yao Shuyun, ever give me a chance to speak?"

Old Madam Lu also felt wronged.

But she never blamed anyone else; she only blamed herself for misjudging people. In addition, the Lu family had encountered one problem after another, so these past events were no longer important. All she wanted to do was preserve her bloodline.

"Xiaoze likes Xiaoyan, and I just want to help him be together. What's wrong with that?"

"Then why didn't you come and try to take him away?"

When Madam Bo suddenly heard about the other side of the story from back then, she was shocked and surprised.

It turns out that Chen Lingxue was a scheming woman back then, manipulating them completely.

They were all misled at that time, which led to the misunderstanding.

But that's no reason for Yan Lihua to try and steal her granddaughter-in-law now.

"Xiao Yan will always be a member of the Bo family."

After she finished speaking, she still held He Yan's hand, her aged eyes filled with determination.

He Yan was both amused and exasperated.

She never expected that a casual meeting today would lead the two elderly ladies to inadvertently reveal the truth about the past feud between the two families, which was an unexpected gain.

"Grandmas, it's rare to have a friend who can last this long in life. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, let's not dwell on the past, okay? Looking forward will bring a brighter future."

He Yan wasn't actually good at comforting people, but she could tell.

Although the two old ladies bickered whenever they met, they were not actually at odds.

Ultimately, it all boils down to a competitive mentality.

"Bo Siheng and Lu Yanzhe are so outstanding now, and that's thanks to you two the most, isn't it?"

"Xiaoyan...you're still the most understanding."

Madam Bo's expression was touched; He Yan's words resonated deeply with her.

She knew she hadn't misjudged the child; such an obedient child was a blessing to the Bo family.

"Yao Shuyun, you're always using seductive tricks!"

Seeing this, Old Madam Lu felt even worse.

Such fine cigarettes should rightfully belong to the Lu family!

Unfortunately, the Bo family beat them to it.

"Hmph, that's because Xiaoyan chose the Bo family anyway. I just like praising this child, so what!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Bo instinctively retorted.

Although the misunderstanding that had lasted for decades was resolved, they had gotten used to it over the years.

It seems like something's missing if I don't say a few sarcastic remarks.

"In short, don't even think about taking it."

"Alright, ladies, if neither of you intends to leave, why don't you have a meal together? I'm still hungry. If you keep arguing like this, misunderstandings will arise again."

He Yan was really having a headache about the way the two of them got along, but it was actually quite lively.

She felt that since the grudges could be resolved, it might not be a bad thing.

Perhaps Bo Siheng and Lu Yanzhe can reconcile.

"I don't want to eat with her!"

"I don't want to eat with her!"

They spoke in unison, then turned their heads away, not wanting to acknowledge each other.

Just like their own mindset, they can't change their habits from the past few decades in a short time.

Madam Bo patted He Yan's hand to comfort her.

"Xiaoyan, Grandma knows you won't accept the Lu family, that's enough. You eat well, I'll head back now."

After she finished speaking, with a hint of pride in her eyes, she turned and left.

Madam Lu watched Yao Shuyun's retreating figure and snorted in dissatisfaction.

"Still so annoying."

"Madam, you two don't actually hate each other to the point of no return, do you?"

He Yan walked over with a smile and comforted her.

She knew that after today, the two of them would gradually come to their senses.

This is also a good thing.

"Xiaoyan, Grandma knows you're a good child, it's just a pity, alas..."

Madam Lu knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless.

It was not her intention to force someone to do something against their will.

"Let's eat. I know you're pregnant and shouldn't go hungry."

She didn't say anything more, but simply served He Yan some food.

He Yan accepted it with a smile.

……

On the way back, He Yan remembered that she had recommended Zhou Siyan to her junior brother for ear treatment. After thinking about it, she changed her route and went there to check on Zhou Siyan's treatment progress.

Inside a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, He Yunyi was waiting with Zhou Siyan.

"Can you hear anything now? Do you feel any buzzing in your ears?"

"It seems a little bit like tinnitus."

Zhou Siyan listened carefully and could indeed hear a faint sound.

The excitement in her heart was beyond words.

"Yunyi, I really have a chance to be cured!"

In fact, Zhou Siyan's treatment plan and prescription were provided by He Yan. She is not in a position to reveal her identity now, mainly because her match with Li Guanghui has reached a critical moment.

"Xiaoyan, I know that you will never have to suffer because you can't hear again!"

He Yunyi was even happier, hugging Zhou Siyan with even more excitement than she was.

"Look at your potential."

He Yan pushed the door open and saw the two of them hugging. She and her junior brother exchanged a glance as a greeting.

However, she was genuinely happy for Zhou Siyan, as this had resolved one of their problems.

"You still have a lot of difficulties to overcome with your parents."

"Xiaoyan, I'm confident I'll become better and then take Xiaoyan to persuade them again."

He Yunyi was truly grateful to this younger sister.

Even though they were both younger sisters, his expression turned sour when he thought of He Yiyi.

lounge.

Zhou Siyan went to rehabilitation training, while He Yan solemnly explained the situation to He Yunyi.

"Can you accept He Yiyi's true colors now? Consider the past as a lesson. There's something else I need to tell you: He Yiyi has ulterior motives in the He family, and it's related to the mole inside the pharmaceutical factory."

But you mustn't alert them; I'll expose everything at the right time. If you trust me.

He Yan knew that He Yunyi would never trust He Yiyi again.

Only then could she feel at ease letting him know.

"You're my own sister, of course I believe you!"

He Yunyi was indeed shocked; he had never considered this possibility.

But after thinking about it carefully last night, he realized that there were actually some inconsistencies, but he hadn't noticed them.

"Xiaoyan, so He Yiyi wants to harm our He family? Why would she do that?"
