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

"Why would Master Bo suddenly come down? He never shows his face."

"Could it be that they're really here to back up He Yan?"

When these people saw Bo Siheng appear, they were not only intimidated, but also felt that He Yan was completely incompetent.

In comparison, these wealthy heiresses from Beijing's elite circles looked down on He Yan even more.

Some of these speculations were malicious, stemming from jealousy.

"He Yan must be afraid of losing face, so she asked Master Bo for help."

"He Yiyi is number one on the socialite list. So what if she's a real heiress? She can't compare at all."

At this moment, He Yiyi finished playing her piano piece.

According to the organizers, her performance raised a total of nine million.

"Thank you so much, Ms. He Yiyi, for your charity performance. Let's applaud Ms. He's generosity."

The wealthy second-generation heirs in the audience applauded enthusiastically.

They were all admirers of He Yiyi.

"Thank you everyone, it's all I should do."

On stage, He Yiyi accepted everyone's praise with a sweet smile.

Her gaze glanced at He Yan intentionally or unintentionally, before finally settling on Master Bo.

This is the impact of her being the top socialite.

The more Mr. Bo learns about her, the more he will discover her good qualities.

"My sister just returned to the He family and is not used to it yet. Please don't make things difficult for her. I can perform another show."

When He Yiyi said this, her eyes were fixed on Master Bo.

But Bo Siheng didn't care at all.

His gaze remained fixed on He Yan.

He Yan did not react, nor did he show any impatience; instead, he seemed to be waiting for her decision.

Xu Yuan and He Huijun had already automatically stood together.

Seeing He Yiyi's success on stage made them even more smug.

He Yan, who came from the countryside, is finally going to suffer a setback.

However, they didn't dare to show it too obviously in front of Master Bo.

He Huijun wore a fake smile.

"He Yan, tonight's gala is all for charity fundraising. As long as the sentiment is there, that's enough. Even if you don't know anything, just go on stage and spin around. We have to let people see the sincerity of the He family."

"That's right, we're all here to do charity, as long as we can get people to donate money."

Although Xu Yuan was smiling, there was malice hidden in her eyes.

He Zhengyuan and Su Wan were also very troubled.

I never expected a charity gala to turn out like this.

“My He family can donate another million yuan in cash to charity, so let’s just forget about the benefit performance.”

He Yunyi also frowned, wanting to help out of the predicament.

He shared the same mindset as his parents, fearing that He Yan wouldn't be able to do it.

"They're both daughters of the He family, so why can He Yiyi perform but He Yan can't?"

"Even if Mr. Bo wants to protect his wife, he can't be unreasonable."

However, those rich kids didn't buy it at all.

They egged them on even more.

"When has the Bo family ever been absent from doing charity? But this is my own choice, not something you can use to coerce my wife into having her own desires to satisfy your perverse tastes."

Bo Siheng narrowed his eyes, his expression was very bad, and he could hear the malice in those words.

However, He Yan's emotions were very stable, which made him unable to figure her out.

But he will definitely stand firmly in her defense.

"No one can force my wife to do things she doesn't want to do."

"I'm telling you all, are you all just bored? How are you managing your own companies? Is there any business growth? Shouldn't you be reflecting on why you're donating so little?"

Jiang Lu couldn't stand it anymore and immediately delivered a decisive blow.

No matter how arrogant these families are, they are no match for the Bo family.

He Yan finally responded.

She walked up to Bo Siheng, as if to soothe his clenched fist, her smile haughty.

How much money do you plan to raise today?

The organizers exchanged glances and finally came up with a rough figure.

None of the families present could be offended, so they simply handled the matter officially.

"We plan to raise 30 million yuan to build free medical facilities and a platform for distributing free medicines to poor people in impoverished areas who cannot afford medical care."

"Oh, so He Yiyi has only raised one-third of the funds so far?"

He Yan chuckled softly, already understanding the situation.

She is not stingy when it comes to charity; in fact, she instructed Baicaoyuan to prepare a large donation.

They just didn't expect this to happen before it was their turn.

"In that case, I'll perform one too."

"What are you going to perform? What instrument do you play? Piano or violin? Or drums or saxophone?"

Xu Yuan immediately pressed for more information, listing a series of musical instrument names.

He Zhengyuan and his wife, as well as He Yunyi, were all stunned.

They never expected He Yan to agree to perform; it was a complete surprise to them.

But what will she perform?

"I don't know any of these."

He Yan looked at Xu Yuan with a calm and composed expression.

She showed no remorse whatsoever, as if it were perfectly normal for her not to know these things.

He Yiyi on the stage wore a mocking expression.

She felt that He Yan was just being stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat.

Regardless, she has already demonstrated her excellence and will continue to receive an award for the highest amount of funds raised at the charity event.

She received this honor to prove that she was better than He Yan.

Xu Yuan almost couldn't keep up her exaggerated expression.

"If you don't know any of these, what are you going to perform? Yiyi has learned all of these and got excellent grades."

"I can play the guzheng."

He Yan's answer was brief.

"Are you kidding me? There's no guzheng here."

Xu Yuan looked around, her face full of mockery.

"You knew perfectly well that there was no guzheng here and it was impossible to perform, so you said that on purpose, didn't you?"

Bo Siheng glanced at Xu Yuan, a cold smile playing on his lips.

His eyes held an arrogant disdain for everything.

“Since my wife is willing to perform for charity, the Bo family will definitely give her their full support.”

He had confidence in He Yan, knowing that she wasn't the type to pretend.

So whatever she's going to do.

He just had to cooperate.

"Then please ask the organizers to prepare a guzheng for my wife."

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Bo, we will make arrangements immediately."

The organizers were delighted to hear that the Bo family would also strongly support today's charity event, for whatever reason. They were certain that the event would be a success as long as the Bo family was involved.

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in a Tang suit in the corner also stood up.

He strode to the middle and took the initiative to show goodwill to the two of them.

"I am but a humble musician who runs a small musical instrument shop. I would like to lend my shop's prized possession to Mrs. Bo for her performance, which can be considered a contribution to charity."

Zhao Dingyu knew that today was a good opportunity to establish a relationship with the Bo family.

While he was speaking, he also told his assistant to go back and fetch the zither immediately.

“Mr. Zhao is very kind. I will take note of that. If you agree, I am willing to pay double the price to buy the guzheng.”

Bo Siheng glanced at He Yan, a smile playing on his lips.

He looked at their clasped hands and felt inexplicably happy.

"You want to buy it?"

He Yan was also a little surprised. Was he being too extravagant?

Bo Siheng's smile widened.

"Yes, as long as Madam is happy with her performance, that's all that matters."

As soon as he finished speaking, a collective gasp filled the air.

Those who initially looked down on He Yan now looked as if they had been struck by lightning.

Wasn't it said that He Yan was just a substitute bride and had no status in the Bo family?

What's going on now?

The one who suffered the most was He Yiyi on stage.

She stood there, unsure whether to leave or stay.

But she just felt that things weren't going right. She should be receiving everyone's congratulations, not being treated like this, being implicitly expected to be outshone by He Yan.

What made her even more uneasy was Bo Ye's attitude towards He Yan.

Why would Master Bo dote on He Yan so much?
