Touya Yaoyao

In fact, no matter how unwilling or even resistant Yu Yaoyao was, the matter of marrying someone else was Aiden's private matter, so Yu Yaoyao felt more powerless than sad.

What could she do?! In this world that worships power and status, in this world that advocates that everyone should be useful.

As an outsider, a junior sister with no blood relation, she had no choice but to feel sad for Aiden.

She couldn't break off the engagement for her, nor could she take her away. In fact, she wasn't a man, so she couldn't marry her, let alone protect her.

Furthermore, she herself was just a pawn in someone else's game; she couldn't even protect herself, so how could she possibly save others?

But she was still so sad. Only now did she truly witness the coldness and cruelty of wealthy and powerful families.

It turns out that in the eyes of powerful and wealthy families, education, appearance, and social background are nothing more than icing on the cake in marriage alliances, tools for them to cooperate and form alliances. What they care about is the union of two families, not the happiness of the people involved in the marriage.

Indeed, even though Aiden is the daughter of the head of the largest theater company in Europe, and even though she is intelligent enough to be admitted to the Royal Academy of Music in Europe, she is still too weak compared to her older sister, on whom the family has placed high hopes.

A family only needs one voice and one leader. If you are not strong and outstanding enough to bring benefits to the family, then what you can do is sacrifice your marriage to bring benefits to the family.

If Aiden is like this, then she will be too. If she doesn't want to be sacrificed, she has to prove her worth and tell them that she is better and that she will bring more benefits to the family. Only in this way can she avoid becoming a victim.

Knowing this, Yu Yaoyao wanted to enter the entertainment industry, develop her career, and build her own business empire with her own abilities.

She thought that if she had any use, the Ye family wouldn't have married her off to someone else so easily, or even made her a sacrifice in an arranged marriage.

However, Ye Qishi did not want her to be like this. Yu Yaoyao did not know where she had offended Ye Qishi, which made him so resistant to her independence, nor did she know what he wanted to do, which was why he repeatedly ruined her plans.

As the saying goes, "The road ahead is long and arduous, but I will persevere and explore." Even if the road ahead is fraught with difficulties, she will fight to escape the fate of an arranged marriage.

Although she had prepared for the worst, she also wanted to give it a shot, hoping that she could create a new world for herself!

Aiden comforted Yu Yaoyao for a long time before she stopped being sad. After venting her emotions, Yu Yaoyao began to ask Aiden about matters related to the wedding.

For some reason, Aiden seemed very resistant to Yu Yaoyao asking these questions, and even told Yu Yaoyao not to come to her wedding day, repeatedly reminding her not to.

Yu Yaoyao didn't understand why her senior sister wouldn't let her go. It was such an important occasion, but she deliberately made her not participate.

Wasn't she her most important junior sister?! Why wouldn't she let her go?! Could it be that her senior sister's arranged marriage partner was a particularly wicked man, or that she was being blackmailed by him, which was why she refused to let her go.

Yu Yaoyao thought about it again and again, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was something fishy going on. But when she saw Aiden's calm and composed eyes, she couldn't help but hesitate and think that she was probably overthinking it.

Just as Yu Yaoyao was lost in thought, her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID and wondered how the other person could still find her when she had clearly dropped her phone and changed her number.

Although there was no note, Yu Yaoyao was still very familiar with this series of numbers. This phone number belonged to Ye Qishi, and it was probably not good news for him to call her.

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Yaoyao pressed the answer button, and Ye Qishi's voice came out of the receiver.

"Where are you?!"

His tone was somewhat cold, tinged with an inexplicable anger. Yu Yaoyao didn't dare to hide anything and spoke frankly:

"At my senior's dance troupe"

Upon hearing this, Ye's gloomy voice seemed to soften somewhat, even carrying a hint of relaxation as he spoke with contentment:

"Go back to the hotel, I have something to tell you!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yaoyao hesitated noticeably. She didn't think there was anything between them to talk about, but her hesitation clearly angered Ye Qishi, who sneered and said sarcastically:

"What, you've gotten too old and think you're all grown up now, you don't listen to your older brother anymore?"

"Tch, tch, tch, the moment she resists, he starts using his power to oppress her," Yu Yaoyao rubbed her temples, explaining with a mix of helplessness and indignation.

"I'll go back right away, I'm...right now...right away, okay? Is that alright?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye subtly curled the corners of his lips and said softly and gently:

"I bought you the latest flavor of ice cream from the European region, come and eat it!"

Yu Yaoyao hung up the phone, feeling utterly hopeless. Then, looking at her worried senior sister beside her, she weakly apologized:

"I'm sorry, senior sister, something came up here, I..."

Aiden patted her shoulder and gently comforted her:

"It's alright, you go ahead and do your thing, don't worry about me."

Looking at Aiden's gentle expression, Yu Yaoyao felt even more guilty. It was bad enough that she couldn't help her senior sister, but now she had to comfort her for so long, and even make her... She really was so useless.

But staying isn't an option either. If she gets back late, Ye will definitely use it as an excuse to make trouble, or even make sarcastic and malicious remarks about her.

She really didn't know what Ye was thinking. Anyway, he was just crazy. He was a very good older brother when he was a child, but as he grew up, he became more and more troublesome and difficult to deal with.

Seeing Yu Yaoyao leave, Bai Taoshi didn't stay long. Before leaving, he glanced at the group members who were packing their belongings, and his expression towards Aiden was particularly complicated.

Aiden didn't look at him, but watched Yu Yaoyao's departing figure, subconsciously touching the ring on his hand, a relieved smile on his face.

She knew she had no choice, but meeting her junior sister was one of the few lucky things in her life.

But it's truly a pity. I wanted to reach the peak with you, but now I can only let you continue on alone. I just hope you can be luckier than me and achieve... achieve your dream.

Yu Yaoyao left in a hurry, even getting out of the car seemed unusually rushed. Ye Qishi looked through the window at Yu Yaoyao's hurried return, a flash of joy crossing her eyes.

He subconsciously sat back on the sofa and carefully checked the contract in front of him again. After confirming that there were no problems, he adjusted his posture to give Yu Yaoyao a strong and sharp first impression.

Yu Yaoyao rushed to the hotel room, but as soon as her hand grasped the doorknob, she hesitated. She frowned as she looked at the closed door, her hand on the doorknob refusing to open it.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Ye Qi opened the door. He glanced at Yu Yaoyao standing in the doorway, his expression somewhat unpleasant, even looking down at her with a mocking tone:

"What, do I have to invite you in?!"

Yu Yaoyao lowered her eyes and said softly:

"Need not"

As she spoke, she cautiously entered the house and saw the contract on the table and the ice cream next to it.

Slightly curious, Yu Yaoyao subconsciously picked up the contract and looked at it, only to find that it was not an ordinary contract, but a bet, a bet between her and Ye Qishi.

The contract essentially stated that Ye Qi would give her 100 million yuan and ask her to earn 10 billion yuan within three years to prove herself. If she earned 10 billion yuan within those three years, Ye Qi would not stop her from entering the entertainment industry. If she did not earn 10 billion yuan, she would have to obediently go home and become the second young lady of the Ye family.

It has to be said that this task is really heavy. Earning 10 billion within three years, and only giving her 100 million in start-up capital, is really giving her too much credit.

But with money offered for free, she thought, "Why not take it?" and subconsciously reached to sign, only to find that Ye had actually slapped her on the contract as she was signing.

At this moment, Ye was wearing a bathrobe for some reason, with the neckline wide open, revealing his bare skin to Yu Yaoyao. Yu Yaoyao had no interest in looking at his V-line and abs, but instead stared at him with a puzzled expression.

Seeing Yu Yaoyao looking at him, Ye Qishi coughed awkwardly, then added an additional condition:

"You're not allowed to use the lyrics you've written in your lyric book."
