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

"..."

An Ran's heart trembled violently; she couldn't understand how someone with a body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius could utter such cold-blooded and heartless words.

She knew she wasn't a stunning beauty, but she was still quite attractive. However, in Si Qing's eyes, she didn't even have the right to like him because of her looks.

She was extremely embarrassed and ashamed, unwilling to believe that the man she admired would be so shallow as to judge someone solely by their appearance.

"roll!"

Si Qing quickly withdrew his gaze from An Ran, his long, narrow black eyes filled with a chilling coldness, making him appear even more distinguished, as noble as snow on a high mountain.

This attitude of not wanting to look at her again was like a needle piercing An Ran's already wounded heart.

Her eyes grew redder and redder, and tears streamed down her face.

Although the room was warm and cozy, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and it was so cold that she had difficulty breathing.

Her distraught turn just happened to pass by Yu Jinzhao, who stood there gracefully.

The girl's face was calm, her posture varied. When she realized her gaze was directed at her, she glanced at him with a cool and indifferent look. Her clear eyes were calm and undisturbed, as if she were looking at a clown who had nothing to do with her.

This arrogant expression was exactly the same as Si Qing's.

With a beauty as stunning as Yu Jinzhao, she certainly couldn't catch Si Qing's eye.

History always repeats itself in surprising ways, and An Ran immediately thought of Yu Jinzhao's sarcastic remark about her.

—According to you, he doesn't even like a woman as pretty as me, so what are you?

Oh shit!

That scoundrel and Master Si are truly a perfect couple; not only do they share the same arrogant personality, but their methods of insulting people are also remarkably similar.

Unable to bear the blow any longer, An Ran quickly ran out.

Seeing that An Ran was truly injured, Si Yao felt a pang of pity. She tugged at He Ziyu's sleeve and said gently, "Ziyu, could you go and comfort Ran Ran for me?"

He Ziyu nodded in agreement and strode after him.

Madam Si sighed helplessly, "Yaoyao, what's wrong with you..."

"Mom, Ranran is my best friend." Si Yao knew what her mother wanted to say; her gentle voice carried a firm tone, still protecting Anran.

"She was so eager to help Aqing that this whole mess happened. Now she can never go back to Yuyuan. If I abandon her, how can I be considered a friend?"

Madam Si was speechless, feeling as if her daughter had been bewitched. She was usually clever and perceptive, but she could never see through An Ran's ulterior motives.

Well, her daughter has been spoiled since childhood, has never suffered a loss, is very simple-minded, and doesn't understand human relationships.

Think about it, she's about to get married. If she continues to be so naive, she'll definitely be schemed against by her husband's family until she's completely broken.

Thinking about it this way, Madam Si suddenly felt that Anran was an opportunity, an opportunity for her daughter to grow.

Let my daughter suffer a real loss at An Ran's hands so she can truly understand how unpredictable people are.

Si Yao saw her mother's incomprehension and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although An Ran's actions regarding A Qing were improper, she was blinded by love, which is understandable.

We can't deny a person's kindness just because of one mistake, can we?

Si Yao will always remember that when she was in college, her grandfather faked her status as a student from a poor family in order to toughen her up.

At the time, she was studying a major in a family where her classmates all came from well-off families. They looked down on her as a "poor student," often making sarcastic remarks and subjecting her to emotional abuse.

Only An Ran took a gamble, braving the pressure from the whole class to befriend her, accompanying her to class and meals, and giving her immense warmth in a situation where everyone treated her coldly.

At that time, An Ran was subjected to passive-aggressive treatment from the entire class because she was friends with her.

Until one day, a rich girl in their major lost her expensive watch. Since she was the only poor student in the class, everyone assumed that she had stolen it.

The rich girl and the whole class surrounded her in the classroom, attacking and insulting her with the most vicious language, and forcing her to hand over her expensive watch.

She was a socialite from a wealthy family, and everything had gone smoothly for her since childhood. Her relatives and friends all fawned over her and flattered her. She had never experienced any setbacks. That was the first time she had witnessed the ugliness of human nature, and she felt as if the world had turned upside down.

She kept denying it, saying she hadn't stolen anything, until her voice was hoarse, but no one believed her. They were angry that she wouldn't admit it and labeled her a thief without explanation.

The title of "thief" was an immense insult to her pride. For a moment, her mind went blank, and she felt like dying.

When the rich girl saw that she wouldn't admit it, she ordered her classmates to strip her clothes off, intending to take indecent photos of her.

At the critical moment, An Ran rushed out, shielding her behind her and bravely speaking up for her.

“You bunch of filthy parasites, stop looking down on me. I’ve been with Yaoyao every day. Her family may not be well-off, but she’s a good person and would never steal. I believe her.”

At that moment, she was in the depths of hell when An Ran's words instantly brought her into the sunlight, and she was moved to tears.

When she was a socialite from a wealthy family, her relatives and friends approached her only to get benefits from her.

When she was a "student from a poor family," everyone looked down on her and didn't trust her, but only An Ran trusted her.

Afterwards, in order to prove her innocence, An Ran searched the entire school despite the torrential rain and finally found the rich girl's lost luxury watch, getting justice for her!

Later, she revealed her identity and expelled the rich girl who had framed her from the school.

From then on, she decided to treat Anran as her only best friend, to cherish this pure and sincere friendship, to do everything she could to give her the best, and to be there for her whenever she asked.

Simply because Anran added a vibrant and memorable chapter to her youth.

The thing that Anran trusted and protected became the most precious treasure in her life.

Lost in thought, Si Yao saw Yu Jinchao preparing to escort Madam Si back to her room, and quickly composed herself and followed.

The master bedroom fell silent. Si Qing pressed the bell by the bedside to summon Yin Zhuo.

Yin Zhuo had been waiting outside the door for ten minutes after hearing the commotion, but since the room was full of Si family members, he could not enter without Master Si's permission.

He listened to the arguments inside the house about Master Si's condition, feeling anxious and unsure of who to believe, until he watched helplessly as Master Si recovered under his wife's care, completely impressed by her medical skills.

"Master Si, Madam's medical skills are truly amazing. Those hands of God are comparable to Hua Tuo reborn. With Madam, you will no longer have to suffer from illness..." Yin Zhuo couldn't contain his excitement and began to exclaim incessantly as soon as he entered.

As he spoke, he suddenly felt the air in the room drop considerably. He rubbed his hands together and looked up at Si Qing, sensing the coldness in the man's eyes. He instinctively fell silent.

Si Qing said coldly, "Whether my wife is powerful or not is none of your business."

Yin Zhuo swallowed hard and answered cautiously, "I was just too excited, I didn't mean to talk about Madam..."

Si Qing narrowed his eyes, seemingly in no mood to listen to his nonsense, and interrupted him directly.

"When my mother pressured my wife to divorce me today, what was her first reaction?"

The man's deep voice seemed to emanate from his Adam's apple, cold and nonchalant.
