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

He Huijun saw how resolute her elder brother was, not even giving her a glance in the end.

Not only that, they were even unwilling to accept Xiaoyue back home.

She was now filled with utter regret, and all her remorse could turn into unrestrained sobs. She knew it was all over.

"Mom... please admit your mistake. I never want to experience something like this again."

Tang Xiaoyue regained some of her senses at this time.

She thought back to what had just happened. If it weren't for Mr. Bo's assistant bringing people to rescue her, she would probably have been humiliated by the people arranged by He Yiyi, or even killed by them.

“We were wrong to begin with. I shouldn’t have been jealous of He Yan being used by He Yiyi, and you shouldn’t have been jealous of becoming He Yiyi’s accomplice. We have to bear all the blame ourselves.”

Tang Xiaoyue watched He Yan's retreating figure as she went inside, feeling deeply ashamed.

During the months she was abroad, she received a lot of help from He Yan.

Although the person who helped her didn't say anything, she could tell just by looking at it.

He Yan has a cold exterior but a warm heart; even though she has done wrong things, she can forgive herself without holding a grudge.

So why can't they admit their mistakes?

"He Yan was able to get someone to rescue me; she's a million times better than He Yiyi!"

"Xiaoyue, my daughter!"

He Huijun was deeply saddened by her daughter's words.

She felt guilty and remorseful, and could only hold her daughter and cry her heart out.

He Zhengyuan went to talk to the special police team to express his gratitude.

At the same time, He Yiyi and her group should be handed over to them. As for the subsequent matters, everything will be handled in accordance with the law.

He Yunyi and He Wenming went over and helped He Yiyi up.

Having lived together for twenty years, they truly love this younger sister.

I just never expected it to end like this.

"Yiyi, I hope you won't be so stubborn in the future. Try to reform yourself. For the sake of our family, we won't pursue this too much, and I believe Xiaoyan won't either."

"Yiyi, I never imagined you would turn out like this, you really..."

He Wenming frowned, wanting to say something but unable to utter a word.

He knew that talking about it would be useless, but he just couldn't get over it in his heart.

He suddenly realized that he clearly had the opportunity to get to know the real He Yan.

During his filming, his elder brother clearly told himself many times that he had discovered that his younger sister from the countryside was not as others perceived her to be, and that their favoritism and narrow-mindedness had caused the current situation.

Even though He Yan is his own sister, he doesn't believe her.

Thinking about how he was misled by He Yiyi and said hurtful things to He Yan, He Wenming felt that he was indeed the stupidest one.

No wonder his parents and older brother all had complaints about him; he deserved it.

"Ha, if you hate me so much, why say such things? Are you trying to make me remember your kindness?"

He Yiyi couldn't move either of her arms, and her face was deathly pale.

But the resentment and bitterness in her eyes did not disappear.

She didn't want to admit defeat, nor could she give up.

"He Yan is so lucky, but all of this should have belonged to me!"

He Yunyi frowned. Seeing that He Yiyi was still so stubborn, he lost his last bit of soft-heartedness.

Is it really true that blood ties make us so vulnerable?

"I hope you will continue to persevere in the future."

The two handed He Yiyi over to the special police officers and watched as they took everyone away.

They ultimately averted the danger facing the He family.

And all of this is thanks to He Yan.

After everyone had left, He Huijun, without anyone knowing why, took Tang Xiaoyue away, and they returned to the main house.

In the living room, He Yan was treating Lu Yanzhe's wounds.

Skin corroded by strong acid displays horrifying and hideous scars.

Because of the excessive force used in the fight, the previously injured area was reopened, and blood stained my shirt.

"You're quite tolerant; the pain from this kind of corrosion is something most people can't endure."

"What can I do? I don't have anyone who cares about me."

Lu Yanzhe looked at He Yan with a calm and indifferent expression.

What does being injured matter? He had become numb to the pain the moment he realized that He Yan only had Bo Siheng in her heart.

But seeing her frowning and showing concern for me still makes me happy.

"Mr. Lu, stop hesitating here. If you want someone to care about you, there are plenty of people out there. Don't keep focusing on my wife. She only has me in her heart."

Bo Siheng retorted somewhat angrily, but was even more smug.

Xiaoyan is his, and so is the child.

Lu Yanzhe narrowed his eyes, wondering why Bo Siheng had suddenly become so treacherous.

He couldn't win the argument, so he turned away and ignored them.

"Alright, you two have been talking non-stop since you started talking. Now be quiet. Remember to change the dressing on your wound every day and don't get it wet for a week, otherwise the corrosion will spread."

He Yan frowned and glared at each of them.

After bandaging Lu Yanzhe's wound, she sat back down next to Bo Siheng.

By this time, Grandpa He's emotions had mostly recovered.

Su Wan was directing the servants to clean up the place.

The He family finally weathered the crisis. Although she lost a daughter and went through so much, her mindset became more resilient, and the invisible pressure from before disappeared.

She knew she would eventually figure it out; it was just a matter of time.

Fortunately, things will get better for the He family in the future.

"Xiao Yan, you didn't eat anything at the birthday banquet, did you? In that situation, you probably didn't know what to eat. I'll have the servants make some simple dishes. Mr. Bo and President Lu, please just eat whatever you like to fill your stomachs."

"Mother-in-law, whatever you like is fine with us, we're not picky."

Bo Siheng put his arm around He Yan's shoulder, and he was becoming more and more comfortable with his interactions with the He family.

He looked at the people present, all of whom were Xiaoyan's closest relatives.

From now on, she will be loved by even more people.

Now that the He family has eliminated the source of danger, she will be happier in the future.

Lu Yanzhe responded very politely.

"Madam He, you don't need to be so polite. Xiaoyan and I are friends. You can make the decision."

After this incident, Grandpa He seemed to have aged even more, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have deepened.

“Xiaoyan, now that things are resolved, tell us about everything behind this. You kept it from one person, which was our dereliction of duty.”

He Zhengyuan also sat down to the side, wanting to find out the truth of all this.

He considered himself successful, but in reality, he had seen too little of the dark side.

So much so that they were caught off guard and almost at the mercy of their attackers.

"Okay, the danger is over, and I don't need to hide it anymore."

He Yan glanced at Bo Siheng and then told him everything she knew.

This was also the heaviest topic weighing on her mind.

“Even before my grandfather took me home, I had been investigating the murderer who killed my master Feng Xianhe. I actually found out that the He family had problems, which is why I agreed to go home. I just didn’t expect that I would be ambushed by He Yiyi the night before I returned.”

"Later, I joined the He family's pharmaceutical factory and secretly investigated. I found that Li Guanghui was the most suspicious, and I also found that he seemed to have a relationship with He Yiyi. So I devised a plan to expose them."

The He family was shocked and found it unbelievable.

It turns out that before returning to the He family, He Yan had already planned to expose the traitor within the He family.

Is this some kind of destiny?

"Xiaoyan, you are a good child, but you have also shouldered too much."

Grandpa He looked at He Yan with satisfaction in his eyes.

He also felt that the best decision he ever made was to bring He Yan back.

Su Wan threw herself into her husband's arms and cried.

She felt uncomfortable whenever she thought about how harsh she had been to Xiaoyan in the past.

"I never imagined that Yiyi had done so many bad things from the very beginning, yet she still pretended to be weak and innocent in front of us, making us always favor her. Husband, I really regret it!"

"Fortunately, things will get better in the future, and we will still have a chance to make it up to Xiaoyan."

Even He Zhengyuan, a man of great strength, had tears in his eyes.

He patted Su Wan on the shoulder to comfort her, but he also felt lucky.
