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

"Xiaoyan, can we talk alone?"

Lu Yanzhe avoided the topic, his gaze merely scrutinizing Bo Jingning and Yu Cheng.

He didn't want others to know the filth in his heart, even though he had already done so.

But a sliver of hope still lingered in my heart.

"Okay, I'll talk to you. I'd also like to hear your side of the story."

He Yan frowned, her expression was not good.

She really didn't want Lu Yanzhe involved in Bo Siheng's affairs because she didn't want to believe that he would actually cooperate with Bo Yuanzhou to deal with Bo Siheng. If that were the case, she would definitely not accept such a friend again.

His gaze was too intense, as if he were hiding a secret she couldn't accept.

"Sister-in-law, don't go! What if he bullies you?"

Bo Jingning did not forget that Lu Yanzhe and her father were business partners.

In this matter, she only sided with Heng-gege.

Yu Cheng also stood in front of He Yan with a wary expression.

Just after Mr. Bo was taken away for investigation, President Lu couldn't wait to come and harass his wife. His intentions are despicable!

“Madam, didn’t you come to see Master Bo? He says it’s the same thing.”

"Don't worry, he won't hurt me."

He Yan was very touched by their protection.

However, she was confident and believed he wouldn't do anything.

Because she knew Lu Yanzhe was coming to find her, today's situation wasn't too bad.

"You go in first to check on Bo Siheng's condition, I'll be right back."

He Yan patted Jing Ning on the shoulder to reassure her.

Then, he got into Lu Yanzhe's car.

"Go ahead."

"Xiaoyan, you're still so direct, you don't give me any chance to process my emotions."

Lu Yanzhe glanced at her cold expression and felt a pang of pain.

Her gentleness seemed reserved only for Bo Siheng.

"The matter at the Xicheng construction site was indeed the purpose that Bo Yuanzhou revealed when he approached me to discuss cooperation. I also know that he did this to ruin Bo Siheng and make him bear the responsibility of losing credibility in the Bo family."

Lu Yanzhe sighed. He really had nothing to hide from He Yan.

Although he was despicable, he was also honest.

They don't mind revealing their thoughts, nor are they afraid of criticism.

He Yan guessed it almost instantly.

"So you agreed to cooperate with Bo Yuanzhou? And you were the ones who reported Bo Siheng for being taken away?"

"Xiao Yan, Bo Yuanzhou is very ambitious, but he is also easy to deal with. If you want, I can help you take care of him. I just hope you can think about it carefully. I like you very much."

Lu Yanzhe finally mustered up his courage.

He showed He Yan his most vulnerable side.

But he doesn't regret it, because he's already come this far.

That fleeting glimpse had left an indelible mark on his heart by revealing He Yan's youthful and rebellious spirit.

It became the most unattainable beauty.

But he lost his heart from then on, and only wanted to seek this redemption.

“I know that with Bo Siheng’s abilities, this kind of thing won’t hold him back for long. This is my only chance.”

He Yan fell silent.

Her gaze was fixed on Lu Yanze, and she thought about it for a long time.

Why do things that seem wonderful easily go bad?

Just like their friendship.

He Yan knew that feelings were complicated, so she didn't pay attention when Lu Yanzhe's attitude towards her changed.

She thought her rejection would deter him, but it turned out he had taken a wrong turn.

"Lu Yanzhe, actually I like you too."

He Yan looked at him and smiled, the expression in her eyes was genuine.

"I like your straightforwardness and your attitude towards people and things. I've always thought of you as a very good friend and a great business partner. And you helped me a lot when I was dealing with Li Guanghui, but..."

Lu Yanzhe's expression changed from surprise to delight.

But before he could even show a smile, He Yan's words sent him back to hell.

He Yan didn't give him a chance to react.

She changed the subject abruptly, her eyes turning sharp.

"But if you turn to jealousy and hatred towards Bo Siheng because I don't accept your affection, and even cooperate with Bo Yuanzhou to frame Bo Siheng and try to deal with him, handing over the Bo family that he has worked so hard to support to Bo Yuanzhou, I don't mind turning against him."

You know more about my identity and my capabilities than Bo Siheng does. You know I can do it; dealing with the Lu family isn't difficult, let alone a despicable person like Bo Yuanzhou.

He Yan's gaze carried an unrestrained force, which also reflected her attitude.

She was very angry, angry that she had misjudged the person.

Lu Yanzhe looked bewildered and stared at He Yan for a long time, unable to speak.

He saw the determination in He Yan's eyes, and his heart felt like it was being clenched, giving him a suffocating feeling.

"Xiaoyan, are you warning me?"

Lu Yanzhe believed that He Yan was capable of doing it, given her personality.

Moreover, she would do anything to cause mutual destruction.

"You're willing to go this far for Bo Siheng."

"Yes, I would do it for him."

He Yan's words were undoubtedly the heaviest blow to Lu Yanzhe.

He looked at He Yan and suddenly realized what was going on.

"Xiaoyan, I should have known that your uniqueness lies in being different from other women. You will not yield to anyone, nor will you compromise on any unequal relationship."

Lu Yanzhe knew that He Yan was stubborn, resilient, and daring, and he was indeed afraid.

His smile was self-deprecating, yet it carried a hint of immense ease.

"So I really have no chance."

"You still have a chance."

Seeing his expression, He Yan smiled and felt relieved.

She knew she had convinced him.

“Lu Yanzhe, I guess you haven’t heard about Lu’s relationship with Bo from Grandma Lu. The old grudges between the Bo and Lu families decades ago were all due to misunderstandings, and they both know the truth.”

So why not let this misunderstanding be completely resolved in your generation and Bo Siheng's generation? I believe that an alliance between the Bo and Lu families would be more beneficial than a lose-lose situation.

Lu Yanzhe had been shocked by He Yan's words far too many times in a short period of time.

He never expected that she would resolve the feud between the two families.

"Xiaoyan, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. You can ask Grandma Lu if you don't believe me. But Lu Yanzhe, I'm very angry about your behavior today. I hope you can think it through. There's still a chance to make amends."

He Yan was worried about Bo Siheng, fearing that he would encounter one conspiracy after another.

If they could persuade Lu Yanzhe, it would undoubtedly be the greatest help.

"Xiaoyan, I'm very sorry about what happened today. I'll go back and ask Grandma now. You... wait for my reply."

Lu Yanzhe was glad that he hadn't actually done anything because of He Yan.

Just like she said, things can still be salvaged.

"Okay, I believe you, you're still my friend."

He Yan didn't say anything more, and got out of the car.

She believed that Lu Yanzhe knew how to weigh the pros and cons.

The car started immediately and sped away with a roar, quickly disappearing into the traffic.

He Yan only stood there for a short while before rushing inside.

Jingning and Yu Cheng were still waiting there.

"how's it going?"

"Master Bo, he..."

Yu Cheng turned around and saw He Yan, just about to say something.

The door to the interrogation room was opened, and Bo Siheng walked out unharmed.

Upon seeing He Yan, his arrogant expression instantly turned pitiful.

But there was a hidden agenda in his eyes.

"Honey, are you here to take me home? I was ambushed and almost couldn't get out."

He Yan burst out laughing when she saw him like that.

This man is such a good actor.

"Yes, yes, I'll come to pick you up."
