As Yu Jinzhao listened to Si Yao's unhurried words, her beautiful fox-like eyes narrowed slightly, her expression remaining calm and composed. She spoke softly.

"The future development of my Yu family is our family matter and we do not need the support of the Si family. Thank you for your kindness, Miss Si and Madam Si."

Although the conditions offered by the Si family were very tempting, enough to instantly give the Yu family a significant advantage.

However, she was taught from a young age to be down-to-earth and to enjoy honors only as great as her abilities.

The Yu family's ability to rank first among ordinary aristocratic families and be respected in the business world is the result of generations of hard work. If she agrees to let the Si family provide assistance, she herself will enjoy immense prestige.

But how much criticism will her father and brothers face, given their positions in the business world?

All the prominent families in Beijing covet the power and influence of the Si family, yet none can reach it. If the Yu family were to profit from this situation, they would undoubtedly become a thorn in everyone's side.

When the Si and Yu families were united by marriage, the head of the Si family also expressed his intention to support the Yu family.

However, her father and brothers did not want the Si family to think that the Yu family had gained power and profit, and thus looked down on her, so they refused without hesitation.

With her father and brothers considering her so much, how could she possibly drag them into trouble!

The Yu family's century-old good reputation must not be ruined in her hands.

Putting the bigger picture aside, she personally didn't want to owe the Si family any favors, otherwise, she would really be entangled with Si Qing in a complicated and messy situation.

Si Yao was taken aback, and her gentle and quiet eyes lit up.

The capital city is a dazzling place of wealth and luxury, where everyone is striving to climb higher.

She was especially close to the upper class and had seen too many greedy faces of people who would stop at nothing to climb the social ladder.

The four major families stood at the pinnacle of power, while the noble families below them dreamed of squeezing up to get a share of the spoils and enjoy endless glory.

She didn't expect that Yu Jinzhao would remain unmoved. His cold face showed no sign of pretense and didn't seem like he was lying at all.

Yin Zhuo looked at Yu Jinzhao, his dark eyes shining brightly, deeply moved.

I will not bow down for wealth and status!

It seems that the lady is deeply in love with Mr. Si!

An Ran finally managed to put her dislocated wrist back into place, and when she turned her head, she found that Si Yao's gaze towards Yu Jinzhao no longer held the initial displeasure and prejudice.

Instead, he was filled with admiration for Yu Jinzhao, as if he was about to be subdued by Yu Jinzhao, and he secretly thought that things were not going well.

Her eyes hardened, and she quickly uttered a sarcastic remark.

"Of course you don't want to. After all, once you've secured Mrs. Si's position, all that fame and fortune will eventually fall into the hands of your Yu family. What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for?"

After saying that, Yu Jinzhao opened his eyes and glanced at her indifferently.

His gaze was calm, yet a heavy aura inexplicably materialized and pressed down on her in an instant.

An Ran froze, remembering the pain triggered by Yu Jinzhao pinching her wrist. She inexplicably felt a dull ache in her wrist again, her face paled, and she hurriedly hid behind Si Yao, not daring to say another word.

Not in a hurry!

Once she becomes Mrs. Si, she will repay Yu Jinzhao a hundredfold for what he did to her today!

If Yu Jinzhao dares to look at her like that again, I'll gouge out her eyes!

Upon hearing this, Si Yao immediately lowered her gaze and turned cold.

Looking at Yu Jinzhao, who stood opposite her with neither arrogance nor servility, she couldn't help but frown in annoyance.

An Ran's words made sense; she had almost been blinded by Yu Jinzhao's upright and righteous aura.

She was the one testing the waters, so how did Yu Jinchao end up taking the lead?

We can't continue to be passive like this; we have to take control of the situation.

Si Yao cleared her throat, her tone becoming more serious.

"Since Miss Yu is unwilling to divorce, I will not force her. I know Miss Yu is an upright person, but my mother cannot accept you as A-Qing's wife, so, to make amends to you..."

As she spoke, she stood up and took a check out of her bag.

"Here's a hundred million. Sign the divorce papers, and it's yours."

With a "thud," Si Yao slammed the check onto the coffee table in front of Yu Jinzhao.

This sound directly shocked Yu Jinzhao's heart.

From the moment Si Yao agreed to erase her marriage record with Si Qing, she had already planned to sign the divorce agreement.

Luckily, she was a step too slow, which gave Si Yao the opportunity to send her the money!

One billion!

Yu Jinzhao looked at the amount on the check, his face calm, but his chest was pounding.

She has so much to do right now and is short of money, so this is like a godsend.

She thought that being able to leave unscathed and divorce Si Qing would be like a windfall, but who knew that she would receive 100 million yuan before leaving? She never dared to dream of such a thing.

Thinking it over, Yu Jinzhao held the check in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Yin Zhuo's lips curled up, his eyes filled with anticipation.

The lady is upright and honest, and she doesn't even care about such a huge benefit as supporting the Yu family. How could she possibly want a mere 100 million?

It's likely that the lady wanted to fiercely tear up the check, throw it back to Miss Si, and then solemnly declare that her marriage to Mr. Si was not something that could be measured by money!

Thinking this, he quickly took out his phone, turned on the camera, and planned to record this wonderful scene.

Sure enough, Yu Jinzhao slowly began to speak.

"Miss Si, money isn't really important."

Si Yao looked at Yu Jinzhao with gentle eyes; now it was time to test the waters.

She knew that Yu Jinzhao didn't even look down on the conditions for supporting the Yu family, let alone accept this 100 million. She smiled slightly, already prepared to call her sister-in-law!

To everyone's surprise, Yu Jinzhao casually put the check into his pocket and said calmly,

"I just feel that if I hesitate for even a second, it would be disrespectful to this 100 million."

"..."

"???"

The vast hall fell silent instantly.

Halfway through recording, Yin Zhuo's hand trembled, and the phone fell to the ground, its screen shattering instantly.

Don't panic, don't panic. Madam is just trying to make money for Master Si and her little family.

Si Yao's gentle, clear eyes cracked in an instant.

What kind of scene has she not seen?

I have never seen this scene before.

Despite the immense temptation of supporting the Yu family, with benefits dozens of times greater than a mere hundred million, she remained unmoved.

She just casually mentioned 100 million, and Yu Jinzhao actually agreed?

Si Yao's expression was complicated; she had indeed overestimated Yu Jinzhao.

Indeed, Yu Jinzhao has been pampered since childhood and knows nothing about the business world. Perhaps she doesn't even realize how beneficial it is to support the Yu family; she's just superficially eyeing the 100 million yuan.

An Ran thought her test was about to fail, and upon seeing this, a smug look instantly appeared in her eyes.

Sure enough, Yu Jinzhao is a fool. How could she be worthy of being Master Si's wife?

Just as Yu Jinzhao picked up the pen, about to sign the divorce agreement.

At that moment, the door to the hall behind them was pushed open from the outside, and the room was filled with light.

"Madam Si, please." Butler Si helped the elegant and dignified Madam Si to come gracefully.
