"Jiang Youli, let's break up. It turns out I'm the young master of the Duan family, a wealthy family in Beijing. You, a peasant girl who sells medicine, are no longer good enough for me."

Jiang Youli received a call from her boyfriend Zhang Jinghan... no, now it's Duan Jinghan. Just as she was about to tell him the news that she was actually the long-lost heiress of a wealthy family, she heard him say this.

What do you mean she's just a female doctor who sells medicine and doesn't deserve the title?

Please, her medicine is worth a fortune! Countless wealthy and noble families are willing to pay exorbitant prices to buy it! It's been featured countless times at the largest auctions in the capital!

He actually said he wasn't worthy?!

"Given my current status as a young master from a wealthy family, I'll definitely have to marry a heiress of equal social standing in the future. But considering we've been dating for two months, I can overlook your shortcomings and let you continue dating me until I marry the heiress. Even after the marriage, I can continue to support you..."

Jiang Youli couldn't help but yell, "Idiot, fine, let's break up! Goodbye!"

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

The handsome man waiting for her reply raised an eyebrow at her. "What? You're the daughter of the Jiang family, a wealthy family in Beijing, and you've already been dumped?"

Jiang Youli looked up and gave the handsome man a bright smile. "What a coincidence, he also said that he used to be the young master of a wealthy family in Beijing, and that I am not good enough for him."

At this point, she questioned, "Speaking of which, you rich heiresses and young masters, could this be some kind of new scam tactic used by a wholesale fraud organization?"

The handsome man was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course not, you are indeed the true daughter of the Jiang family, a wealthy family in Beijing."

Jiang Youli said "Oh," put down the basket on her back, sat down in a chair, and began to sort through the herbs she had just picked. "Then who are you? Why did you come to find me, and not my biological father and mother?"

The handsome man glanced at the bare mud house before him, then carefully examined the woman sitting casually on the stool, and replied, "If nothing unexpected happens, I will soon be your fiancé, Qi Huan, the eldest young master of the Qi family in Beijing."

Jiang Youli nearly fell off the stool. She stared at the handsome man in disbelief. "Huh? Fiancé?"

“That’s right. But as you can see, I’m disabled now, and I only became disabled last month.” Sitting in his wheelchair, Qi Huan pointed to his legs and smiled helplessly.

"Oh, I see. So what does that have to do with you coming to see me today?" Jiang Youli suddenly realized something. "You're not trying to tell me that I'm the real heiress of the wealthy Jiang family, and that my biological parents are planning to take me back and have me marry you, are you?"

Qi Huan nodded, her eyes filled with appreciation. "You guessed right."

Jiang Youli's eyes flickered.

Qi Huan continued, "Because of my crippled legs, I'm also prepared to be dumped just like you."

Jiang Youli understood again, "So, the one who was originally supposed to marry you was the fake heiress of the Jiang family, but because your legs are crippled, the fake heiress of the Jiang family no longer wants to marry you."

Qi Huan nodded again: "Yes, you guessed exactly what I meant."

Jiang Youli was both amused and exasperated. "Then why do you look like you're not sad at all?"

Qi Huan said, "You just got dumped by your boyfriend, but you don't seem sad."

"He's just a jerk, it's good that we broke up." Jiang Youli curled her lip, not taking it seriously.

Qi Huan looked at the girl in front of him, his admiration growing stronger. "It seems you're quite carefree."

Jiang Youli snorted, "Of course, it would be a waste of time and energy to be sad and upset over someone who isn't worth it."

The reason she dated Duan Jinghan was because she had accidentally saved his life two years ago. Duan Jinghan then used the excuse of repaying her kindness to relentlessly pursue her. Seeing his two years of persistence, his unwavering devotion, and the fact that he seemed to have no major problems, and considering that having a man by her side could not only help her manage her herb garden but also keep other men away from harassing her, Jiang Youli simply agreed.

Who would have thought that Duan Jinghan would turn on him the moment he became a young master of a wealthy family?

Qi Huan laughed and said, "I'm the same way. She's just a scumbag. It's better not to marry her."

There was never any affection between him and Jiang Yonghe; their engagement was merely arranged by his grandfather for business purposes.

Now that he is disabled in both legs, Jiang Yonghe's parents are naturally unwilling to marry Jiang Yonghe to him. However, the Qi family is the largest and most powerful family in Beijing. Jiang Yonghe's parents are unwilling to give up this business marriage, so they plan to have their own daughter marry in place of their adopted daughter, Jiang Yonghe.

Jiang Youli pointed out the crux of the matter: "It's strange, how could it be such a coincidence that right after you became disabled, my biological parents immediately found me, their own daughter, and planned to have me marry you in place of their adopted daughter."

She scoffed, "It seems they've known all along that I'm their biological daughter, but I'm of no value to them, so they've kept me out there and haven't taken me back to acknowledge my family."

Qi Huan didn't bother to offer any further comfort: "I think so."

Jiang Youli sneered. If that were true, her biological parents would be incredibly heartless.

However, there was one thing she didn't understand—

"Since you already know what the Jiang family's intentions are, why not just give up on the marriage alliance with them? Why do you still want to jump into the pit by continuing the marriage alliance?"

"I had someone investigate you. You're a female doctor who sells medicine and is quite famous in the village. I heard that you've cured many people's difficult and complicated diseases with special methods. I'm disabled in both legs, and I've consulted famous doctors from all over the country for the past month, but none of them can cure me. That's why I decided to come here in person to see if choosing to continue the marriage alliance and marry you is a trap or a blessing for me." Qi Huan didn't intend to hide the purpose of her visit at all.

Jiang Youli found this man quite interesting and shrugged. "Now you see, I'm just a country bumpkin. My biological parents, whom I haven't even met yet, obviously don't like me. And you still plan to marry a real heiress like me, who isn't valued by her family and is being used as a substitute bride?"

Qi Huan looked at her intently.

At first glance, she doesn't seem particularly dazzling.

Because her skin wasn't as fair and smooth as that of a pampered young lady raised in a greenhouse, but rather a slightly wheatish hue, it made her appear vibrant and energetic.

If you look closely, you can see that her features are actually very delicate, especially her eyes, which are bright and clear, with a tenacious look like wild grass.

There was not a trace of disrespect in Qi Huan's eyes, but rather she was very honest. "Well, after meeting you, I'm sure I want to marry you. I just don't know if you're willing to give me that chance."

Jiang Youli looked at his incredibly handsome face.

It must be said that he is quite good-looking, possessing a stunning appearance that makes him unforgettable even in a crowd of thousands.

The facial features are three-dimensional, and the facial contours are clear and distinct.

What's most remarkable is that, despite having just suffered the devastating blow of losing both legs, his eyes remain clear, without any confusion or resentment.

Jiang Youli looked at the man's legs again, "What's wrong with your legs?"

Qi Huan explained, "Last month, my legs were broken with a wooden stick. I consulted many famous doctors, and they all said that my legs were completely useless and I could not stand up."

"Lift up your trouser legs so I can see them," Jiang Youli instructed.

"Okay." Qi Huan did as she said and rolled up his trouser leg, revealing his knees and calves covered in scars.

Jiang Youli's eyes darkened. She put down the herbs in her hand, got up and walked over to him. She bent down in front of him and carefully pressed his knee with her hand.

The pain in his knee made Qi Huan frown, but he didn't make a sound.

“It’s treatable,” Jiang Youli concluded.

Upon hearing this, Qi Huan's pupils lit up with hope.

Thinking of her biological parents' heartless behavior of ignoring her existence, Jiang Youli decided to return to the Jiang family in Beijing, become the true heiress of the Jiang family, and have a proper meeting with her biological parents. So she clapped her hands, sat back on the small stool, and said, "I can marry you."

Qi Huan raised an eyebrow. "Any conditions?"

Jiang Youli tilted her head and smiled radiantly, saying, "Look at what you're saying. Do I need any conditions to marry you? You're so beautiful. If I heal your leg, wouldn't I be making a fortune?"

Qi Huan didn't expect her to praise her so directly, and her eyebrows rose even higher. She chuckled and said, "Okay, it's settled then. I'll wait for you to return to the Jiang family."
