On the day of her return to China, she was tied up and coaxed by the richest man to get her marriage

at the same time.

Yin Zhuo informed Master Si, feeling slightly relieved, and returned to the hall, walking respectfully toward Yu Jinzhao.

Yu Jinzhao stared blankly at the divorce papers laid out before her. She looked up at Si Yao across from her, her fox-like eyes dark and bright, her voice nonchalant.

"Even if it's Mrs. Si's idea for me to divorce Mr. Si, I should still be given a reasonable reason."

Si Yao was taken aback, somewhat surprised by the other party's compliant manner.

According to her investigation, Yu Jinzhao was spoiled from a young age and was pampered by his father and brothers to the point of being lawless and willful.

I thought she would fly into a hysterical rage when she saw the divorce papers, but she was surprisingly calm and composed.

It seems Mom was right; the rumors were indeed unreliable.

Putting aside prejudices, Yu Jinzhao's calm and composed reaction in the face of adversity truly befits her role as the matriarch of the Si family.

Originally, we were supposed to wait for Mother to arrive so that she could test the waters, but because of Anran's impulsiveness, it seems that the testing plan will have to be brought forward.

Thinking of the method she had prepared to test her, Si Yao carefully considered her words before speaking.

"Isn't the reason that Mrs. Si doesn't think highly of you enough?"

An Ran jumped to her feet, her face contorted with barely suppressed rage.

Ignoring Si Yao's attempts to stop her, she rushed over, pointed at Yu Jinzhao's nose, her back straight, her face filled with a vicious and unsettling aggression.

"Yu Jinzhao, you've got some nerve, haven't you? The Si family doesn't want you anymore, and you still have the nerve to cling on and refuse to leave!"

An Ran held her chin up arrogantly, her overbearing attitude making it seem as if she were the mistress of the Royal Garden.

Yu Jinzhao's eyes were filled with coldness.

In all her life, no one has ever dared to point their finger at her!

Just as An Ran's hand was about to poke the lady's face, Yin Zhuo, who had just approached, turned fierce and was about to kick her away.

In the blink of an eye, Yu Jinzhao suddenly reached out, grabbed An Ran's wrist, and pressed her hand directly onto the table.

"Hiss!" An Ran gasped, her body pressed against the coffee table, her waist against the sharp corner of the table. She subconsciously tried to shake off Yu Jinzhao, but couldn't.

Damn it, where does that bitch get so much strength?

Yu Jinzhao sat upright, holding An Ran firmly in place with one hand. The veins on the back of his slender white hand were visible. No matter how hard An Ran struggled, he did not budge.

"In your eyes, am I really that good-tempered?" Yu Jinzhao spoke, her voice soft and slow, yet carrying a chilling ruthlessness.

“I am the mistress of the Imperial Garden. You are just an employee here. If you dare to point your finger at me again…”

An Ran felt both pain and hatred, and wanted to refute Yu Jinzhao, because she should be the mistress of the Royal Garden!

That bitch stole her man; she's a shameless mistress who can't be brought to the light of day, yet she dares to act like the wife!

Before Yu Jinzhao could finish speaking, An Ran raised her leg and kicked Yu Jinzhao's shin.

She was wearing sharp high heels; if she had kicked Yu Jinzhao, he would have been bedridden for months, even if he didn't break a bone!

This shameless mistress should know how powerful the real wife is!

Yu Jinzhao stood up and twisted her wrist hard.

A "crack" was heard, the sound of dislocation echoing through the air.

"Ah!" An Ran let out a heart-wrenching scream, her legs went weak from the pain, her face lost all color, and she knelt down on the ground.

Seeing Yu Jinzhao's sharp and decisive actions, Yin Zhuo's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but cheer in his heart.

As expected of Mr. Si's wife, she's fucking awesome!

Seeing this, Si Yao's eyelids twitched violently, and she couldn't help but stand up.

"Miss Yu, let go right now!"

Yu Jinzhao's delicate brows didn't twitch at all. He slowly raised his cool fox eyes and not only didn't let go, but the strength in his grip on An Ran's wrist continued to tighten inch by inch.

Si Yao and Yin Zhuo both thought she had used a lot of force.

Little did they know that she was a student of traditional Chinese medicine and had a deep understanding of acupoints. She had only pinched a key acupoint on the other person's wrist, which would not have damaged their tendons or bones, but it caused them excruciating pain.

An Ran knelt on the ground, unable to move. Her wrists were numb with pain, but the tightening grip of Yu Jinzhao triggered even more intense pain.

She screamed, the pain in her voice sending chills down your spine.

Yu Jinzhao seemed not to hear, calmly looking at Si Yao opposite her, whose face had turned pale, and spoke each word with firm conviction.

“Miss Si, since your Si family doesn’t approve of me, then don’t agree to the marriage. I’ve already registered my marriage with Si Qing, and it was your Si family that brought me here.”

The girl's lips curled into a sharp smile, her eyes were extremely unapproachable, and her aggressive aura made her look even more radiant and captivating, making Si Yao unable to look away for a moment.

Si Yao pursed her lips, listening to Yu Jinzhao's unhurried voice continue.

“I, Yu Jinzhao, am Si Qing’s lawfully wedded wife. I came into this world with honor, and I cannot leave with dishonesty.”

Although she wanted to use the Si family's circle to promote traditional Chinese medicine, if she had the opportunity to divorce Si Qing, she would naturally prefer to withdraw completely.

But divorces should be done openly and honestly. Otherwise, if it's done secretly, what will people think of her if word gets out?

She could suffer injustice herself, but she couldn't sacrifice the reputation of the Yu family!

"Although your Si family is unapproachable and powerful, my Yu family is upright and honest, and our ancestors were a family of scholars. We are not people you can insult at will!"

Yu Jinzhao spoke each word clearly, his eyes firm and resolute.

Si Yao's breath hitched, and for a moment she was stunned by Yu Jinzhao's sharp and shrewd demeanor.

She was in a daze for a while before she came to her senses. When she looked at Yu Jinzhao again, a hint of appreciation suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Si Yao dislikes Yu Jinzhao because she feels that Yu Jinzhao doesn't care about his family and has no conscience.

But now, Yu Jinzhao's words are all in defense of her family, making her feel that she has indeed misunderstood Yu Jinzhao.

"Help, Yao Yao, save me!" An Ran screamed, feeling that if Yu Jinzhao didn't let go, her hand would be crushed.

She's a gifted healer, and she'll need this skill to save Master Si. She has such a bright future; she absolutely cannot let Yu Jinchao ruin it.

Si Yao's gaze softened, no longer showing the disdain and indifference she had shown when facing Yu Jinzhao at the beginning. She spoke softly, "Miss Yu, everything is negotiable."

She glanced at An Ran, her eyes filled with worry, and spoke softly.

"Ranran is straightforward and her words can be harsh, but she doesn't mean any harm. You've already made her suffer, so I apologize on her behalf. Please forgive her this time, okay?"

Si Yao was gentle and reasonable, and her tone of voice became soft, making listeners feel comfortable.

Yu Jinzhao is easily swayed by gentle persuasion but not by force. When Si Yao's attitude softened, she naturally toned down her coldness.

Looking down at An Ran, he saw her screaming in pain, her face covered in tears and snot.

She couldn't help but sigh, wondering how a gentle and cultured socialite like Si Yao could be best friends with someone like An Ran.

"If you know pain, then don't be pathetic."

A hint of disdain flashed in her eyes as she stared at An Ran, her gaze filled with autumnal intent, and said, word by word, "If there's a next time, I'll cripple your hands!"

An Ran stared at Shang Yu Jinzhao's cold, dark eyes with a pained expression.

The cold light emanating from it felt like an invisible hand piercing through and tightly gripping her throat.

An Ran could tell that she wasn't just saying it casually; she really dared to cripple her hand.

The pores on the back of my body suddenly burst open in horror, and I didn't dare to scream. My face was as white as a ghost, and I could barely breathe.

A dislocated joint can be reset, but if it's ruined, it's all over.

After Yu Jinzhao finished his warning, he released his grip.

Yin Zhuo immediately took out a handkerchief he carried with him and handed it to Yu Jinzhao, saying respectfully, "Madam, please wipe your hands."

After all, it involved something dirty.

Yu Jinzhao took the handkerchief, wiped her hands, and sat back down.

Si Yao helped An Ran, who was terrified and completely flustered, to her feet, then looked up at Yu Jinzhao and said,

"Miss Yu, your father has been kind to A-Qing, and our Si family will naturally not repay kindness with enmity. As long as you agree to the divorce, we have a way to destroy your marriage record with A-Qing, and no one will know about it!"

Yu Jinzhao's gentle gaze flickered slightly, as if a feather had brushed against his heart, causing a faint stirring of emotion.

Is there such a good thing?

Si Yao chuckled softly and continued, "Not only that, our Si family will strongly support the Yu family and spare no effort to elevate your Yu family's social standing, so that the Yu family can also stand on equal footing with the four great families..."
