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

"Why is Master Bo treating He Yan so well? Didn't they say the Bo family looked down on her and was just using her to bring good luck in marriage?"

"Master Bo is so domineering. When will I be able to find someone who spoils me like that?"

The group of socialites and heiresses snapped out of their daze and began whispering among themselves.

Although they had all heard the rumors of Mr. Bo's serious illness, they couldn't resist the fact that the Bo family was so large and powerful.

He is the richest man in Beijing and holds the status of a princeling in the Beijing elite circle.

Even without seeing Mr. Bo's face, they were all filled with romantic feelings.

He became even more jealous of He Yan.

He Yiyi was equally consumed by jealousy.

At this moment, the guzheng was brought over.

He Yan's eyes lit up when she saw it; it seemed this boss was something special.

"The color and texture of this guzheng base should be a product of the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It is said that there was a musician in Jiangnan named Wang Chuanhui who loved the guzheng as much as his life. He made and collected many guzheng, but he would hide them and refuse to let others see them."

“Wang Chuanhui was once summoned to the palace to perform and received a personal inscription from Emperor Kangxi. However, for some unknown reason, a fire broke out in his house and many of his guzheng were burned.”

He Yan touched the guzheng and easily told me its origin.

She seemed to be able to see the changes of history through this zither.

"This is the only zither that survived the fire, named 'Calling Spring,' am I right?"

"Mrs. Bo is right. It seems you are a kindred spirit."

Zhao Dingyu looked at He Yan, his expression magnified, his eyes filled with shock and admiration.

He acquired this zither by chance more than 20 years ago.

I never imagined that someone could recognize it so clearly.

"It seems this guzheng is destined for Mrs. Bo, so I'll give it to you!"

Looking at He Yan, Bo Siheng's perception of her underwent a dramatic change.

His wife was indeed someone of great importance.

"I will remember this favor from Mr. Zhao."

Seeing a hint of surprise flash across He Yan's face, Bo Siheng felt that even the air was exceptionally pleasant today.

"Thank you. Then I will use it to perform a piece, to live up to the expectations of the ancients and to live up to the expectations of today."

He Yan carried her guzheng onto the stage.

She glanced at He Yiyi, who could only leave reluctantly.

Bo Siheng then sat down in the spot where He Yan had previously sat.

"Today my wife is performing for charity, and as a wife, I will donate ten million in cash and five million in supplies to impoverished patients to support today's event."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

"My Jiang family also donated ten million in cash and five million in supplies. Thank you, Miss He Yan, for your fundraising."

At this moment, Jiang Lu also spoke up.

As a close friend of Bo Siheng, he naturally gave his full support.

The happiest people must be the organizers; their charity gala tonight was simply the most successful one they've ever held.

Others were still skeptical, hoping that He Yan was just putting on a brave face.

He Yan proved everyone wrong with her abilities.

She played a piece called "A Thousand Flowers in Full Bloom and Birds Competing for Spring," which depicts the transition from the loneliness and desolation of winter to the joy of flowers and birds in spring. The first half is about waiting for the flowers to bloom, while the second half is about the excitement of spring's arrival.

Bo Siheng sat in the audience, completely captivated by He Yan.

Her fingers moved freely across the strings, seemingly casual yet carrying the momentum of a thousand galloping horses.

"Mr. Bo, don't you think your wife is like an elf now, with an ethereal aura?"

Jiang Lu seemed to have unintentionally become Bo Siheng's mouth double.

Then, changing the subject, he couldn't help but complain.

"It's a pity that after returning to the He family, it's like a phoenix with its five-colored feathers plucked, turning into a sparrow."

He meant something.

"If you can't speak properly, you can shut up."

Bo Siheng glared at Jiang Lu with displeasure.

But he also felt that He Yan seemed to have been deliberately labeled in a negative way.

It completely obscured her original radiance.

The song is over.

Everyone was still immersed in the mood of the music, as if they could really see a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred birds vying for spring.

Bo Siheng was the first to clap, which finally woke everyone up.

Then came thunderous applause.

"Xiaoyan is so amazing, we had no idea."

The He family was the most shocked.

In the end, He Yan's performance raised a total of 30 million yuan in cash and 10 million yuan in supplies.

She also received the honorary medal for being the top donor.

He Yiyi watched helplessly as the honor that was rightfully hers slipped away.

He was forced to become He Yan's foil.

When she stepped down, no one even paid attention to her.

At this moment, He Yunyi noticed the hurt in He Yiyi's eyes and came over to comfort her.

"Yiyi, don't be sad. It's all for charity, and you're all members of the He family. You're all very capable."

He was also shocked by He Yan's performance.

This neglected younger sister is a game-changer.

However, he remained sober and knew to consider He Yiyi's feelings.

"Thank you, brother. I'm fine. I'm also very happy that my sister raised so much money."

He Yiyi forced a smile, pretending to be magnanimous.

Xu Yuan also came over to comfort He Yiyi.

"That He Yan is so arrogant. Does she think she's something special just because she played a lousy tune?"

"Xiaoyuan, don't let your sister hear you say that, or she'll get upset again."

He Yiyi knew the importance of foreign aid.

She deliberately misled Xu Yuan by feigning helplessness.

"She'll think I encouraged you and blame me. Actually, my sister is too arrogant. Nobody in the family likes her. They think she doesn't care about the family and is too competitive."

Xu Yuan was naive and easily angered when she heard He Yiyi say that.

"Don't worry, I'll help you deflate her arrogance."

She was blinded by love and thought that as long as she made He Yan suffer, she could win He Yunyi's favor.

Meanwhile, He Yan was surrounded by people.

Bo Siheng's eyes were full of smiles.

He felt that Jiang Lu was right; He Yan was radiant.

He was also happy to see her shine in her area of ​​expertise.

"I have other engagements to attend to, so I can't keep you company."

"Okay, I'm hungry, I'm going to get something to eat."

He Yan looked at Bo Siheng with a faint smile on her face.

He cooperated very well in today's scene, and she was also very grateful for his contributions to charity.

Bo Siheng nodded and left.

Before leaving, Jiang Lu gave He Yan a thumbs up.

Following the charity performance, there was an auction where various valuable items donated by mystery donors were up for auction.

He Yan sat to the side eating, and still no one went to disturb her.

She was happy to have some peace and quiet.

Meanwhile, He Huijun was watching her from not far away.

She thought about her daughter being sent abroad, how pitiful.

This is all because of He Yan.

Moreover, He Huijun hated that her elder brother and sister-in-law didn't plead for her, so she directed all her hatred at He Yan.

At this point, the exhibits were also displayed in the exhibition area.

Many people curiously gathered around to see.

He Yan was eating when she was suddenly drawn to a beam of light that was reflected from her.

She looked up and saw that an ancient Greek royal crown was also on display there.

"Who donated this? They're quite generous."

She was drawn to the crown and couldn't resist going to take a look.

Seeing that He Yan's attention was focused on the exhibits, He Huijun knew that she finally had a chance.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she quietly walked up behind He Yan and bumped into her suddenly.

He Yan sensed something and immediately dodged to the side.

The next moment, there was a loud crash.

A display case next to it collapsed, and a bottle of perfume on display inside shattered into pieces.

"He Yan, you actually broke such a precious, rare perfume! This is a collectible that money can't buy!"

He Huijun's exaggerated expressions and clumsy acting immediately attracted everyone's attention.

He Yan narrowed her eyes, her expression turning cold.

Is this guy trying to scam her?
