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

Meeting Yu Jinzhao's gentle yet firm gaze, Si Yao's ears turned slightly red, and she was completely speechless.

For a fleeting moment, she was somewhat convinced.

Yu Jinzhao is so charismatic, it's no wonder her mother has such unwavering faith in her.

"You were sick, why didn't you tell me?" Madam Si frowned slightly, her expression full of concern and worry.

Si Yao reassured her, "Mom, I'm fine, it's just a minor ailment, I'll be fine after some rest."

"You're not a doctor, how do you know if it's a minor ailment? Besides, even a minor ailment can become a big problem if left untreated."

As Madam Si spoke, she looked at Yu Jinzhao and said in a gentle tone, "Since Zhaozhao can treat Yaoyao's illness, then prescribe some medicine for her."

Si Yao was slightly taken aback. Actually, she hadn't decided whether to take the medicine prescribed by Yu Jinzhao, since nine out of ten traditional Chinese medicine practitioners were liars these days.

But she didn't want to disobey her mother, and Yu Jinzhao had indeed accurately described her symptoms.

He finally nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Yu."

Why don't you give it a try?

Consider it a trial run for her mother. If the medicine helps, she can feel at ease when Yu Jinzhao prescribes cold medicine for her mother in the future.

For the first time ever, An Ran didn't try to dissuade Si Yao. It just so happened that Si Yao had an accident while testing the medicine, and the truth about saving Madam Si would come to light.

But he still couldn't stand their harmonious atmosphere, and hesitated.

"However, Mrs. Si now represents the Si family. If word gets out that she's learning traditional Chinese medicine, people will be talking about the Si family... If any medical malpractice occurs, it could..."

“People are restless these days, but we still insist on promoting traditional Chinese culture, which allows the culture of traditional Chinese medicine to be passed down. This is a blessing for our Si family!” Madam Si interrupted An Ran directly.

She held Yu Jinzhao's hand, offering him her utmost support.

"Chaochao, just focus on studying traditional Chinese medicine. Our family will be your support and we will definitely clear any obstacles for you. Mom is looking forward to benefiting from your success."

Anran got stuck.

Her words were meant to convey that Yu Jinzhao had ulterior motives; in order to avoid implicating the Yu family and being ridiculed, she went abroad to study traditional Chinese medicine, but upon her return, she made the Si family clean up her mess...

She thought that Madam Si would be dissatisfied with Yu Jinzhao because of the Si family's reputation.

Unexpectedly, Madam Si knew everything, yet still supported Yu Jinzhao.

Yu Jinzhao was also stunned.

She had planned to privately explain her position to Madam Si that her study of traditional Chinese medicine was her own business and would absolutely not affect the Si family.

Taking in An Ran's embarrassment at her failed attempt to cause trouble, Madam Si looked at Yu Jinzhao with even more affection, and spoke with conviction.

"Chaochao, you are my daughter-in-law, the future matriarch of the Si family."

"The entire Si family is your support. You can do whatever you want. If anyone dares to complain, I will take care of it for you."

Seeing the encouraging and supportive look in her boss's wife's eyes, Yu Jinzhao felt a lump in her throat, a mixture of bitterness and heaviness.

Even her father and brothers didn't support her career, but her mother-in-law said she would be her supporter.

The power of those words was so profound, especially when she was already prepared to go all in.

In a daze, she really thought she saw her mother.

A mix of emotions—bitterness, gratitude, and hurt—overwhelmed her. Her eyes reddened slightly, and she quickly lowered her head to hide it. Then she looked up again and slowly began to speak.

"Thank you, Mom."

She looked intently into Mrs. Si's eyes, her gaze earnest and unwavering, as if she were telling Mrs. Si, and also, through Mrs. Si, telling her mother.

I will definitely make you proud.

Her attempt to sow discord failed, and instead brought the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law closer together. An Ran wasn't worried at all; she still had a trump card up her sleeve!

At this moment, the servant who was serving the dishes came to Si Qing's side and was about to serve him the dishes.

Anran walked over, took the serving chopsticks from the maid's hand, and said with a smile.

"It seems I've said something wrong again. To express my apology, let me serve you your meal."

As she spoke, she actively used serving chopsticks to pick up food for Si Qing, saying, "I followed my teacher to take care of Master Si for a while, so I know what dishes Master Si likes to eat."

As soon as An Ran arrived, the strong scent of her perfume masked the smell of the food.

Yu Jinzhao slightly increased the distance, secretly sighing that the little bitch was truly an unkillable cockroach.

Si Qing is not only a germaphobe, but also a odor fetishist... He hates the smell of perfume the most, so An Ran is probably going to get kicked away.

Madam Si's brow twitched. She wanted to scold An Ran, but considering that this was her daughter-in-law's first meal, An Ran only helped serve the dishes.

If she, as the mother-in-law, were to interfere, it would be difficult to prevent her from going out and causing trouble. Her petty nature and her mother-in-law's bullying tactics would only exacerbate the situation...

Yu Jinzhao had intended to remain aloof, but suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

When she turned around, she found Si Qing with his arms crossed, his face as cold as an ice sculpture, staring at her with unfathomable eyes.

Why are you looking at me? Look at her.

Yu Jinzhao looked completely bewildered. As she looked down, she suddenly realized that she had promised Si Qing that she would help him get rid of those with ill intentions...

Lost in thought, An Ran filled a bowl with vegetables and handed it to Si Qing.

Si Qing's expression froze completely, and a bloodthirsty ferocity gradually appeared in his eyes, a glint only those familiar with him could discern.

Oh no, this introductory meal today might turn into a bloodbath.

Madam Si, worried that it was an unlucky omen, was about to speak up to smooth things over.

At this moment, Yu Jinzhao stood up with his own bowl and chopsticks, and as Si Qing was about to lash out, he went around and squeezed between him and An Ran.

The pungent perfume was neutralized by the fresh scent on Yu Jinzhao's body, and the bloodlust in Si Qing's eyes visibly subsided.

Yu Jinzhao took the bowl and chopsticks from An Ran's hands, picked up a piece of food, took a bite, and smiled gently.

"Miss An is so thoughtful. Not only does Mr. Si like these dishes, but I like them very much too."

An Ran was having trouble breathing. "These are the dishes I served to Mr. Si. If Mrs. Si likes them, I can serve you some more."

"Master Si and I are husband and wife, husband and wife are one, there is no distinction between you and me." Yu Jinzhao smiled and left An Ran speechless with his words.

Mrs. Si was extremely satisfied. Her daughter-in-law was not only intelligent but also had high emotional intelligence. The Si family had truly found a treasure!

An Ran gave a forced smile, "Husband and wife are one, they are of one mind... Does Mrs. Si know what dishes Mr. Si likes to eat?"

There seems to be a catch in that statement.

But it's not a big problem.

Acting was Yu Jinzhao's forte. Without thinking much, she immediately picked up her chopsticks and prepared to casually pick up a piece of food for Si Qing, knowing that Si Qing wouldn't expose her.

Suddenly, she felt someone watching her from across the room. When she looked up, she saw He Ziyu sitting opposite her.

The moment she looked up, He Ziyu quickly looked away.

Such a little incident happened in an instant. Without noticing, Yu Jinzhao picked up a piece of braised pork from the nearest bowl and put it into Si Qing's bowl.

"Master Si, this is super delicious."

The moment the words were spoken, the entire flower hall fell silent.

Si Qing picked up the braised pork that Yu Jinzhao had put on his plate with his chopsticks. It turned out that she had taken a bite of it, and there were still her teeth marks on it.
