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

“Yiyi is not my biological daughter after all. If she is unwilling to face it, I will not blame her.”

Su Wan seemed to have suddenly lost her allure towards He Yiyi.

Too many things have happened recently, and she feels that her daughter is gradually becoming distant.

The daughter who was once well-behaved and radiant in her eyes has now become a stranger.

She began to disregard her own feelings, as if she had deliberately created an insurmountable chasm between herself and them.

"Wenming, be careful later too."

Su Wan couldn't help but give her son some more advice.

After all, she had to face her father, a filial duty as heavy as a mountain.

"But Mom, are we really not going to worry about Yiyi?"

He Wenming was shocked and couldn't understand why his mother was starting to have a problem with Yiyi.

They are clearly their pampered younger sisters and relatives.

Is it simply because they're not biologically related?

He looked at He Yan and could see the difference between his two younger sisters, but he still felt a little unable to accept it.

But he couldn't deny that he was actually quite happy to see He Yan confronting her uncle.

It's as if she doesn't need to follow any so-called rules.

"No need, celebrating your grandfather's birthday is more important, let's go!"

Su Wan's mind is now only on He Yan. With He Yan by her side, it seems that she can fill the emotional void for her as a mother, leaving her no time to think about anything else.

She is the gentlest and the calmest.

Having gone through so much, my mindset has become more resilient.

"Xiao Yan..."

"I will, Mom, let's go."

Looking at Su Wan's calm expression, He Yan actually felt that this was not so bad.

She is stronger than she thought.

So, if she were to expose He Yiyi's true colors here, people would probably be more accepting of it.

In fact, He Yan knew that with He Yiyi's personality, she wouldn't miss such an opportunity to cause trouble.

So she was prepared and was just waiting for He Yiyi to take the initiative.

I just hope that idiot He Wenming won't become cannon fodder again.

Otherwise, we might not be able to take care of him.

He Yan followed Su Wan to the inner room where Old Master Su was resting.

That's where the real showdown is today.

Grandpa Su Zhengye was a professor. His proudest achievement in life was raising several outstanding children. However, he was also a rigid and old-fashioned person who disliked being questioned.

Because of his academic achievements, his reputation has also been very influential.

Today, at this 80th birthday banquet, most people have to give me face.

At this moment, Su's second daughter-in-law and third daughter were also greeting other guests beside the old man.

"Father, I've brought the children to wish you a happy birthday."

As Mrs. He, Su Wan was someone who commanded respect from the others present.

He Yan and He Wenming followed on either side.

Grandpa, I wish you boundless happiness and longevity.

When Su Zhengye saw Su Wan, his previously kind expression turned sour, replaced by displeasure and sternness.

"Your He family really has a grand display."

He also heard about what happened at the reception gate from his eldest son and was very unhappy.

Did the He family think that by giving him a Ming Dynasty cloisonné, they could disregard him?

Even the younger generation is so lacking in manners.

"Little sisters, you've kept us waiting for so long!"

When Su Wan arrived, her second sister-in-law Zhang Guiqiu and third sister Susan looked up and immediately mocked her.

They all knew that Su Wan was the least favored by the old man, so they were fearless no matter what they said.

She became even more critical of He Yan, who was following behind her.

"Is this the biological daughter you adopted from the countryside?"

"It's incredibly rude of them to see the old man like that and not even greet him."

He Yan narrowed her eyes, her gaze dangerous.

But she suddenly felt Su Wan gripping her hand tightly.

I could see the comfort in her eyes.

Never mind, I'll just have to bear with it for now.

"I'm really sorry, I haven't matched you all together yet, so I don't know what to call you. Also, I'm wondering if the gifts I prepared are enough to share."

He Yan noticed that Su Zhengye's gaze was also looking over, but she remained calm.

And he showed no fear whatsoever; his gaze became even more arrogant.

She would give Su Wan face, but she wouldn't wrong herself.

"Second brother, take out the gifts I gave to everyone!"

He Yan turned her head to look at He Wenming, raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Ah, oh."

He Wenming was stunned when He Yan called him. He was speechless for a long time. The word "Second Brother" seemed to hit him in the heart, giving him a strange but comfortable feeling.

Only then did he notice what He Yan had slipped into his hand when she got out of the car.

"Auntie, Auntie, this is a gift from Xiaoyan to you."

He Yan also took a long, rectangular box and walked up to Grandpa Su.

"This is for the birthday person today."

She was very generous to the Su family and didn't skimp on the gifts she gave them.

Everyone who comes here is someone of importance, so she won't give herself any opportunity to be criticized.

Whether the Su family will give them face or not is up to them.

He Yan opened the box, and a white jade Guanyin statue was revealed to everyone.

"This jade is so clear and translucent; it's obviously top-quality!"

"The He family sends such valuable gifts every year; they're really giving the Su family a lot of face!"

The surrounding guests also saw the jade Guanyin and were nothing but amazed.

"Is this Kunlun jade?"

Grandpa Su was about to reprimand He Yan for her rudeness.

At this moment, he was so shocked by the jade Guanyin that his fingers trembled. Of course he knew it was a treasure, but he never expected that a little girl could produce something of such value.

He Zhengyuan has already given a vase, so it's impossible for him to prepare a second gift.

Could it be that the Bo family prepared it for her?

Su Zhengye knew about this as early as when He Yan was recognized and returned to the He family, and later he heard that she had married into the Bo family.

I never expected that I would be divorced after only four months.

It's useless anyway.

He calmed down a little, then leaned back in his chair, his expression arrogant.

"Not bad, you put your heart into it."

Zhang Guiqiu and Susan both scoffed at the perfume He Wenming took out, not wanting to accept it at all.

They've seen this kind of thing far too often.

"You have the nerve to give away just a perfume as a gift?"

"Wait, this looks like Luna's 'Clear & Refreshing' perfume line. It's been sold out for ages!"

Zhang Guiqiu was still disgusted, but Susan noticed the perfume label.

She quickly reached for a bottle and examined it carefully.

I was overjoyed after confirming that it was genuine.

"Really? You're not lying to me? I heard this girl came back from the countryside, how could you afford to send her off?"

Zhang Guiqiu accepted it with some skepticism, but still couldn't tell the difference.

“Wenming, I know your He family is rich, but this perfume isn’t something just anyone can buy. Your sister shouldn’t be too vain, or she’ll get into trouble sooner or later.”

"Probably not?"

After hearing what they said, He Wenming also became a little uncertain.

He Yan doesn't seem like the type of person to do something like this, does she?

"If you don't like it, you don't have to."

He Yan turned around, showing no leniency towards their doubts; there were plenty of people who wanted her perfume.

"No one can question the authenticity of my perfume."

In just a few brief encounters, she had already gained a thorough understanding of the Su family.

Despite their self-proclaimed scholarly family background, they are actually quite greedy.

They clearly enjoyed the benefits of the He family all along, yet they displayed their meanness to the fullest extent.

It's like wanting both.
