Kicked out of a wealthy family? I became a rich and beautiful woman thanks to the system.

"Hey, what are you saying? If Zhengran doesn't get married and have children in our big family, who will inherit his assets?"

As Chen Shuhua spoke, he placed a beef rib into Wen Yao's bowl.

Lu Shan chimed in, "Yes, what's the point of earning so much money if you don't have a family?"

Wen Yao's mouth opened and closed hesitantly; she really couldn't refute this question.

It turns out they planned for Lu Zhengran to have a child so that the child could inherit the Lu family business.

Decades later, Lu Zhengran's cash flow will be at least tens of billions.

"But...why don't you date? This is modern society. Even if it's an arranged marriage, you should at least get to know each other. I don't see you two have communicated much; you have absolutely no understanding."

Although Lu Zhengran and Song Zhen were considered a golden couple by outsiders, the two had no contact at all. Wen Yao could also clearly feel that when the two stood together, their aura was completely like that of strangers.

Even if two people who are only superficially compatible get married, their family life will not be happy.

More importantly, the marriage was not Song Jin's subjective wish at all.

If it weren't to thwart the schemes of those members of the Song family's collateral branches, why would Song Zhen have sought a marriage alliance with Lu Zhengran? She must have felt somewhat aggrieved.

"Yaoyao, I don't even have time to buy flowers, let alone date. It just so happened that Song Zhen found me last year. We've known each other since we were little, so I agreed."

I guess I'll never have the chance to fall in love in my life, but thankfully, I don't have any romantic desires. However, Yao Yao, you'll definitely have opportunities to fall in love in the future, and we won't ask you to enter into an arranged marriage.

Regardless of whether she will get married in the future, Wen Yao will not sacrifice her marriage to be with someone she doesn't like. After all, she has plenty of money and doesn't need to rely on others.

It seems that the only way to solve this problem is to start with the Song family. Even if Lu Zhengran cancels the marriage alliance, Song Zhen will still seek help from other families because of the gossip from the collateral branches of the Song family.

"Yes, Yao Yao originally thought that after you came home, you wouldn't need to do anything. Your father and brother would be responsible for making money, and they wouldn't want you to come for an arranged marriage. They would let you stay at home and play every day."

But who would have thought that you, like your brother, are someone who can't sit still.

Before finding Wen Yao, they had planned to raise her at home as their daughter for the rest of her life, but now it seems they have to abandon that plan.

After dinner, Wen Yao returned to Hefeng Villa. A few hours later, at six o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Zhen returned with Song Zhiqian.

"Why are you still in Haicheng? Haven't you heard anything from you lately?"

Song Zhiqian stretched, looking completely bewildered.

"News? What news? I've been working every day lately, it's exhausting."

"Your sister got engaged to Lu Zhengran in just half a month, didn't you know?"

Upon hearing this, Song Zhiqian froze on the spot, then his eyes widened.

"What the heck?! Is the information guaranteed to be true?"

Wen Yao nodded, surprised that he didn't even know about this.

"They told me this themselves when I went to the Lu family home at noon today. How come your family didn't even tell you about such a big thing as an engagement? There will be an engagement banquet later."

Song Zhiqian searched his entire body and finally pulled out his phone.

"Hey sis, you're getting engaged? Why didn't you tell me such big news?"

The person on the other end said casually, "Oh, you mean this? I've seen you've been quite busy lately, so I didn't tell you. Just focus on your work, why are you worrying about this, kid?"

Song Zhiqian paced anxiously back and forth in the room.

"What do you mean? Such big news, are you treating me like an outsider? What kind of sister gets engaged and her brother doesn't know? You're not planning to not even send me an invitation, are you?!"

Song Zhiqian roared

"Oh dear, I was planning to let you know in a few days, but now that you know, I don't need to tell you anymore. Just remember to come to the engagement party!"

Then I hung up the phone.

It took Song Zhiqian a long time to calm down.

"Then what are you going to do now?"

"Of course we should go back to the capital tonight. Once the engagement banquet is over, it will be too late."

The engagement party is essentially announcing their marriage to everyone. If they cancel the engagement after the party, it will definitely become the subject of gossip.

Normally, Lu Zhengran would be called a scumbag, while Song Zhen would be ridiculed as a woman who was abandoned.

People will generally guess in this direction.

Therefore, waiting until the engagement is over before breaking off the engagement will definitely hurt both of them.

"I'm going back to the capital tonight and starting work first thing tomorrow morning. I'm going to use what I've learned during this time to rescue my sister from this arranged marriage!"

As he spoke, Song Zhiqian walked towards the door.

I hailed a car at the entrance of the residential area and headed to the airport.

Late that night, Song Zhiqian returned to the Song family in the capital. Everyone was quite surprised to see him return.

"Weren't you working in Haicheng? Why are you thinking of coming back now?"

Song Zhen, dressed in casual home clothes, was the first to see Song Zhiqian.

"I've almost finished learning, and I'm ready to join the company!"

Song Zhiqian was always wild and unruly, so Song Zhen didn't really care when he said that.

"You're back just in time, your second uncle and aunt are here."

As they were talking, Song Zhen led Song Zhiqian into the villa's living room.

"Hey, Xiao Qian, what brings you back? Where have you been lately?"

Song Zhiqian gets annoyed whenever he hears his second aunt's voice.

"What do you mean 'play'? I went to a group company in Haicheng to learn, and I was doing serious work!"

Clearly, no one took his words to heart.

"Speaking of the group, by the way, elder brother and sister-in-law, I think it's time to let my son join our group for training. My son is a few years older than Xiaoqian."

"Our family only has Xiaozhen working at the company now, but she's getting married soon. Having my son join the group would help her out; we can't let the Lu family think our Song family has no one left to rely on."

"No need, Auntie, I'm back now. Dad, please arrange a job for me as soon as possible. I'm full of energy!"

Song Zhiqian stood up from the sofa. He didn't want his cousin to work for the company. Once he was in, it would be difficult to get him out.

His second aunt looked at him with disdain.

"You? Xiaoqian, I'm not trying to be mean, but what can you do in the group? You can't even concentrate on your studies, and after spending some time playing around in Haicheng District, you think you're all that?"
