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

"What kind of attitude is this? Is there a problem with us having some doubts?"

"Exactly, is that how you talk to your elders?"

Zhang Guiqiu and Susan seemed to have finally found an opportunity, and began to scold He Yan after hearing her words.

It's nothing more than feeling unbalanced.

Something that they all seemed to lack, this wild girl actually possessed.

"Second sister-in-law, third sister, this is Xiaoyan's heartfelt gift. If you like it, accept it; if you don't, return it to her. I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

Su Wan didn't feel anything when she was ridiculed, but she couldn't bear to see He Yan being wronged.

In particular, she had been enduring the difficulties caused by the Su family for her own sake.

He wouldn't defend his daughter even if he saw her being scolded.

Then what right does she, as a mother, have to enjoy her daughter's support?

"Who said we don't want it?"

Fearing the perfume would be taken back, the two quickly hid it behind their backs.

These identical actions also revealed the true thoughts in their hearts.

Susan was even more unhappy, thinking that the He family was just rich.

Yet they always act so arrogantly in front of them.

“This thing seems to be real. I saw Mrs. Xu use it last time. Luna perfumes all have a unique dry note.”

"I think the smell is right too. This wild girl is so generous."

The two women, aunt and sister-in-law, gathered together again and made sarcastic remarks about He Yan.

"Auntie, Aunt, what you're saying is a bit disrespectful."

He Wenming frowned, somewhat dissatisfied. In any case, He Yan's manners had been impeccable.

Although he hasn't accepted this younger sister yet, he feels uncomfortable hearing others talk about her.

"Wenming, is this how you talk to your elders?"

Zhang Guiqiu immediately glared at him, adopting an air of superiority.

Susan chimed in with a raised eyebrow.

“Your sister has been recognized long ago, but she has never come to the Su family to pay her respects. Isn’t that a lack of manners? She should have sent these things over long ago to express her gratitude.”

"The old man is her maternal grandfather. She's only just arrived now, can't she even say a few words?"

He Yan, listening from the side, could only laugh.

In fact, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This was the first time she had ever seen someone ask for things so brazenly.

Not to mention they still maintain such an aloof and superior attitude.

"It seems I haven't thought things through enough. I should have brought a cartload of gold and silver jewelry to give to you on the very first day I was recognized by the He family. That would have been more befitting of a proper and sensible junior."

"Of course that's how it should be, otherwise people will say your mother doesn't know how to raise a child!"

Susan snorted, just about to feel smug about He Yan's self-awareness.

But something felt off when I heard the end.

"You wild girl, what do you take us for? You deliberately embarrass your elders, how unfilial!"

Other guests in the room were also drawn to this spot and looked over curiously.

Some of them had witnessed the scene at the welcoming gate; though they didn't say anything, they were watching the spectacle.

Although the He family is a junior member of the Su family, they hold considerable influence.

It's a joke that the Su family treated them so poorly and made things difficult for them.

"Alright! What kind of behavior is this, making a scene here?"

Grandpa Su also spoke up in displeasure.

The stares of those around him made him feel embarrassed and ashamed.

This is clearly implying that the Su family is ignorant and immature.

He glanced at the group of people, his gaze finally settling on Su Wan.

"You should keep your own people in check. Don't embarrass yourselves at my birthday banquet and forget everything I taught them."

"No, I just feel that the father's education should be the same for everyone."

Su Wan clasped her hands together to ease her nervousness.

This was the first time in her life that she had ever contradicted her father.

But she felt she hadn't done anything wrong.

We cannot allow Xiaoyan's good intentions to be treated so unfairly.

Moreover, she knew that Xiaoyan was doing it for her.

"Shouldn't Xiaoyan's feelings be respected?"

"you……"

Grandpa Su suddenly realized that his youngest daughter had also become perceptive.

She actually tried to reason with him.

But with so many people watching, his anger burned, but he couldn't express it.

Otherwise, the Su family would truly become a laughing stock.

"You two should also calm down. Once you've packed up your things, go and entertain the guests."

"I understand, Father."

The two sisters-in-law were dissatisfied, but dared not refute it.

They glared at Su Wan and He Yan, their contempt for her barely concealed.

At that moment, Susan suddenly came up with another idea.

“Father, He Yan has lived in the countryside for twenty years. Now that she has finally been recognized by my younger sister, she should serve you tea and acknowledge your kinship today, which is also your birthday banquet.”

She beckoned, and a waiter immediately brought over a cup of hot tea.

He Yan tilted her head, her eyes narrowing as her expression grew cold.

The Su family is quite adept at causing trouble.

Then look at Grandpa Su, who is also sitting in the main seat, looking at He Yan with a serious face, clearly showing his support.

She realized that the reason why the Su family members dared to make things difficult for Su Wan was because someone was condoning it.

Moreover, they wanted to give themselves a hard time.

Su Wan's expression shifted, unsure whether she should stop it.

Unable to fathom Xiaoyan's thoughts, she simply turned her gaze to her.

"I'm pregnant and it's inconvenient for me to bend over, so I won't offer this tea."

He Yan curled her lips into a smirk, her expression arrogant.

Let's just assume that what she did before was to avoid putting Su Wan in a difficult position.

She had already done her duty to give the Su family face, but they were still pushing their luck, so she had no choice but to tear down the facade of peace.

This injustice is unbearable not only for her, but also for her child.

If Bo Siheng were here, he would definitely refuse.

When Grandpa Su didn't receive He Yan's offer of tea, his anger instantly flared up.

He pointed at He Yan, but his gaze was fixed on Su Wan.

"Is this the daughter you raised? She's utterly unfilial!"

"I……"

Su Wan's rare display of strength crumbled under her father's roar.

Having received over forty years of patriarchal education, her spirit had long been destroyed to the point that she had lost her own opinions. Once her father used filial piety to pressure her, she would be speechless.

He Yan narrowed her eyes as she looked at Su Wan's predicament.

It's not that I blame her for not protecting her, but I feel sorry for what she went through.

Anyone would break down if they had family like that.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from somewhere on the second floor.

"It's rare for Mr. Bo to go out, and he never expected to witness such a wonderful scene. It's truly a rare sight."

Everyone's attention was drawn to the sound, and they looked up.

They saw Bo Siheng leaning on the railing, looking down at them like an emperor.

His disdainful posture revealed an arrogant and overbearing attitude.

He originally intended to wait for He Yan to arrive before deciding whether to attend, but upon hearing Yu Cheng's report that He Yan had already arrived but was meeting with the Su family, he decided not to disturb her.

Little did he expect that he would hear of her suffering such a great injustice just a little while later.

The mere Su family dares to have her little Yan serve tea?

"If it weren't for the bright lights here, I would have thought I had traveled through time."

Su Zhengye frowned, about to reprimand which ignorant junior was making a scene here.

Unexpectedly, it was the Bo family, a family he had to look up to.

Startled, he immediately stood up as well.

He Yan heard a familiar voice, looked up and saw the person on the second floor, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"My soon-to-be ex-husband, what are you doing here?"
