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

the next day.

The He family was preparing to attend the banquet.

The Su family made a grand spectacle of their celebration, as it was the 80th birthday of the Su family patriarch. They specially invited political and business elites from the entire Beijing circle, using the occasion to engage in various social activities for their family.

He Zhengyuan's expression was not good, because he had never been well received by the Su family.

He was too proud to admit his feelings, and he also had his own sense of pride.

"Husband, I know you've suffered a lot of cold treatment over the years, but that's my family after all, and I..."

Su Wan could tell her husband was unhappy, but she couldn't bring herself to stand up for him.

Having been raised with such a family tradition, she also broke free from her own constraints.

"Xiao Wan, don't say that. We're family. I'll always consider your feelings, no matter what."

He Zhengyuan composed himself and turned to comfort his wife.

Their marriage was based on love, so they were willing to be tolerant of each other.

Su Wan's eyes reddened, and she could only sigh.

She didn't want this kind of thing to affect her relationship with her husband any longer, and she forced herself not to think about it too much.

Then she brought up her eldest son.

Did you tell Yunyi that you were going to celebrate his grandfather's birthday?

Even if she's unhappy, it's still her child, she just can't accept it right now.

Moreover, Su Wan saw Zhou Siyan at the mall last time, which made her think a lot. She was clearly a victim of her own family of origin, so why should her son have to go through the same thing?

She can't escape it now, but the children are in the prime of their youth.

They still have their own future and people to live with.

“His leg wasn’t healed yet, so I told him he didn’t need to go, to save him the trouble of going back and forth.”

He Zhengyuan listened to He Yan's words and felt that he shouldn't force himself.

At this point, it's better to avoid trouble.

"Alright, alright."

Su Wan nodded, but a hint of loneliness still lingered in her eyes.

"I'll go check if Xiaoyan is ready."

He Yan rarely wears makeup, so she only does simple skincare. However, after changing her clothes, she found that the dress that originally fit her was a bit small. It seems that she has been eating too well during her time at the He family home.

As her two children entered their growth period, her figure also began to change.

She simply took out a pair of scissors and removed one of the ruts on her back.

Just then, Su Wan knocked on the door.

"Xiaoyan, have you changed your clothes?"

"I'm ready."

He Yan walked over to open the door, but her gaze suddenly fell on a spot in the dressing room, and she abruptly stopped in her tracks.

She hadn't paid much attention during her time back at the He family home, but now she felt something was off.

The cabinet drawers seem to be slightly off-center.

"Has someone been in my room?"

He Yan narrowed her eyes, then thought it was unlikely. Since the locks were changed, only her mother had the key, and she certainly wouldn't touch her things without permission. It was even less likely that the other servants would do so.

However, He Yiyi and He Wenming, who had just returned home, were also at home.

These two, however, may not necessarily follow the rules.

"Xiaoyan, it's almost time."

Su Wan didn't see her daughter come to open the door, so she couldn't help but urge her again.

He Yan didn't answer. Instead, she went straight into the dressing room, carefully examined the cabinet, and then suddenly pulled it out.

Sure enough, the jade pendant she had hidden inside was gone.

At this moment, He Yan burst out laughing.

"No wonder He Yiyi suddenly became so high-profile, and even dared to openly seduce my man."

It turns out she stole the jade pendant and probably even showed it to Bo Siheng.

Could it be that Bo Siheng had been mistaking people for someone else all along?

Upon realizing this, He Yan's expression suddenly turned dangerous.

But judging from Bo Siheng's behavior in front of her, it seems that he did not let He Yiyi succeed, otherwise he would not have this attitude.

She smiled and dialed his number directly.

"Mr. Bo, did He Yiyi return my jade pendant to you intact?"

A distinct gasp came from the other end of the phone.

Bo Siheng felt inexplicably guilty.

"Xiaoyan, you knew all along?"

Ever since he learned that He Yan was the one who saved his life that night, his emotions have been in turmoil.

It turned out he had made a mistake, but thankfully, he hadn't made the wrong choice.

So his belief was correct; Xiaoyan wouldn't lie to him, and the child was conceived unexpectedly that night.

He was happy to think that he and Xiaoyan actually had two children.

"Don't be angry. I was also deceived by He Yiyi before, but I promise that I have never had any contact with her beyond the boundaries. My heart has always belonged to you."

Bo Siheng hurriedly stated that he couldn't lose the wife he had finally managed to marry.

He Yan was both angry and amused, and felt that it was a huge misunderstanding.

She never expected that her secret act of repaying a debt of gratitude would result in He Yiyi replacing her for so long.

So she was plotting something from the very beginning.

Fortunately, everything was preordained; what was meant to be will be.

As for He Yiyi, it's time to expose her true colors.

"Bo Siheng, I shouldn't have felt sorry for you. It would have been better if you had been kept in the dark and lived in fear all this time!"

He Yan chuckled, but couldn't help threatening him.

Bo Siheng, however, was smiling happily.

"Then I will keep bothering you until you give me enough security."

He Yan inexplicably thought of the time she coaxed him that night.

Her face also felt a little hot.

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I have to go to the banquet."

"Okay, I have a surprise for you later..."

Before Bo Siheng could finish speaking, he heard a busy tone from the other end of the phone, indicating that the call had been disconnected.

He paused for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle, his eyes filled with helplessness.

He Yan hung up the phone and opened the door for Su Wan.

"Xiao Yan, why did you take so long?"

Su Wan's immediate reaction was concern, fearing that the woman inside might be uncomfortable.

He Yan looked up and saw He Yiyi and He Wenming coming over together in the corridor next door.

She smiled and clung to Su Wan, acting coquettishly.

"I was just on the phone with your son-in-law!"

He Yiyi's expression changed, her hands hanging at her sides clenched tightly, and her eyes were fixed on He Yan, as if she wanted to stare a hole through her.

She knew that He Yan was saying this on purpose for her to hear.

He would normally have made a sarcastic remark, but he held back for the moment.

"Mom, we're all ready."

Thinking about her father's arrangements, He Yiyi put on a gentle and proper expression.

Just you wait, He Yan! Your smugness is about to end.

When He Wenming saw He Yan, he was completely captivated by her natural beauty, like a lotus emerging from clear water, and she looked remarkably like his mother when she was young. He was a little stunned.

"Now that everything is ready, let's go!"

Su Wan noticed that He Yiyi didn't take the initiative to hold her hand like she used to.

She's been bothered by that incident for a while now.

It's like suddenly realizing that this daughter, whom you've spoiled for twenty years, you've never really understood.

She also found it unbelievable.

The group split into several cars and went to the hotel together.

at this time.

The eldest son and daughter-in-law of the Su family are greeting guests at the entrance of the banquet hall.

When they saw Su Wan bring the He family over, their smiling faces visibly fell apart.

"Little sisters, why are you so late? You made us wait."

"This is outrageous! The old man has been waiting for so long."

Mrs. Su, Zhou Bizhi, also looked unhappy.

They enjoyed the benefits of the He family, but deep down they felt that it had tainted their own character.

He Yan looked up and a hint of sarcasm appeared in her eyes.

The Su family is really... even more awful than she knew.

It's the perfect time for her to step in and set things up.
