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

He Ziyu felt a vast and powerful force, like Mount Tai pressing down on him, and his instep erupted in excruciating pain, as if it were about to split open, causing him to let out a pig-like scream—

Ahhh! ! !

Si Yao was startled. Seeing He Ziyu suddenly scream in pain with a contorted expression, she quickly grabbed his hand, "What's wrong, Ziyu?"

He Ziyu was in so much pain that he felt like his soul was leaving his body. He couldn't understand how Yu Jinzhao, a girl, could have the strength of an ox!

He took a deep breath, and it took him a long time to calm down. His feet felt numb. He couldn't tell the truth to his superior's concerned gaze.

"I suddenly got a leg cramp, but it's nothing."

Yu Jinzhao is so clueless about romance; she's so rude in trying to seduce him. No wonder Si Qing treats her with disdain.

He'd better teach her a lesson next time they're alone.

Composing himself, he grasped Si Yao's hand and said tenderly, "Yao Yao, I've thought about it, and as a man, I really shouldn't ask you for money. After we get engaged, you can hand over the Si family's medicinal herb field to me to manage. From now on, I'll take care of external affairs and you'll take care of internal affairs. I'll be responsible for earning money to support the family, and you'll be responsible for being beautiful."

Si Yao blinked. "But won't that be too tiring for you?"

"It's all worth it for you." He Ziyu said tenderly, "I've traversed countless lights to find you, and I offer the splendor of the mountains and rivers as my betrothal gift."

Yu Jinzhao laughed. Scumbags always have all sorts of reasons to cheat people out of money. Doesn't this mean, "I want to get a wife for free?"

But Si Yao was susceptible to romance, so she shook her head and, in her daze, clicked on another news broadcast.

Don't believe men's lies. Before marriage, I supported you; after marriage, I will support you.

Mountains may run away, rivers may flow away; even the most beautiful love cannot withstand the trials of life.

Women must be financially independent in marriage in order to have a voice.

Otherwise, once you become the one who asks for money, everything changes, and men will feel that you are just sitting at home enjoying the fruits of others' labor.

Si Yao had just fallen into a beautiful longing for her future marriage because of He Ziyu's sweet words when this sober statement pulled her back to her senses.

She thought it made a lot of sense, cleared her throat, and said softly.

“Ziyu, although I’m married to you, I’m still a member of the Si family, and I have to do my part for the Si family’s business.”

The implication was that she would not hand over the Si family's medicinal herb field to him.

He Ziyu's face darkened instantly. Si Yao had just been moved, but Yu Jinzhao ruined it all because of her jealousy.

But don't rush, it'll be easy to control Si Yao after the engagement.

Having said that, Yu Jinzhao put away his phone. It was time to head to the Bo family's auction. He wiped his mouth and said...

"Sister, take your time eating. I'm heading out now."

After Yu Jinzhao left, He Ziyu said in a deep voice,

“Your sister-in-law is so unruly. She even plays on her phone while eating. As her sister-in-law, you should be the one to teach her a lesson.”

"Ziyu, how could you say such harsh words?" The Si family is inherently protective of their own, and since Si Yao accepted Yu Jinzhao as her sister-in-law, she didn't want to hear anyone speak ill of her. She frowned and said...

"She's used to being free and easy at her parents' home, so there's no reason for her to be so restrained at her husband's home. Besides, I'm her sister-in-law, not her elder. What right do I have to lecture her?"

After saying that, Si Yao muttered unhappily, "The Qing Dynasty is gone. Does that mean I have to behave properly when I marry you?"

Although she values ​​rules and acts with propriety, that's only when she's out. Back in her own home, she wants to be more spontaneous.

"Of course not, I just see that you treat her too well, and even gave her such an expensive wild ginseng. I'm afraid you'll spoil her."

He Ziyu felt a pang of heartache just thinking about it. He had already regarded the medicinal herb field in Si Yao's hands as his private property, so of course he couldn't bear to give it away to Yu Jinzhao.

He complained, "You know your grandfather requires me to prepare a dowry of 100 million. If you give me that wild red ginseng, wouldn't I be able to marry you?"

"My grandfather is a man who knows everything I do. Nothing can escape his eyes."

Si Yao was also helpless.

“He even knows about the money I secretly transfer to you. He has already frozen my personal account. I’m in a worse financial situation than you are right now. If I try to help you with the medicine field again, we’ll be completely hopeless.”

Regarding Si Yao and He Ziyu's marriage, Old Master Si had always been against it, but he couldn't resist Si Yao's insistence. He could only make a request: the engagement was fine, but the He family had to earn 100 million yuan as a dowry to prove that they were capable of giving her happiness. Otherwise, Old Master Si would not attend their engagement banquet.

With only ten days or so until the engagement banquet, let alone coming up with 100 million yuan, the wedding house prepared by the He family has already been sold. No wonder Grandpa didn't let her go to the old house to pay her respects today; it seems he's disappointed in her.

"Ziyu, just do your best. My grandfather only talks about giving you 100 million, but he wants to see how hard you work to marry me. Only if you get my grandfather's approval will he acknowledge you as his grandson-in-law."

Otherwise, even if they were engaged, without the approval of the head of the Si family, the elite social circles wouldn't take He Ziyu seriously.

He Ziyu was more anxious than anyone else. He married Si Yao for the power of the Si family. If he couldn't gain their approval, wouldn't all his years of affection be in vain?

He must grasp the immense wealth and power of the Si family!

"Yaoyao, let's have a baby." He Ziyu held Si Yao's hand, touching it suggestively, his desire undisguised.

"Only if you get pregnant will your grandfather have nothing to say. Old people all love to hold their grandchildren. Besides, I also want to have a child with you. If it's a girl, she will definitely be as beautiful as you."

Si Yao immediately pushed him away, speaking righteously and firmly.

"I've said before that I won't have a relationship with you before we're engaged. That's my bottom line. I won't bring shame to the Si family."

Although it's not uncommon for people to fall in love and get pregnant out of wedlock these days, the Si family is a top-tier wealthy family, and many people are watching them. As the eldest daughter of the Si family, she would be ridiculed for getting pregnant out of wedlock.

She can only have children for him after she marries him, and she is looking forward to that day.

He Ziyu froze, looking at the dignified and virtuous Si Yao, and suddenly felt as if he had been doused with cold water, feeling utterly bored.

Si Yao, oblivious to everything, smiled and asked, "By the way, Ziyu, didn't you say you were taking me to the movies today?"

Just then, He Ziyu's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, then ruffled Si Yao's hair.

"We'll see the movie tomorrow, but I need to go earn your betrothal gifts first."

Pshaw, she won't even let you touch her, who's in the mood to watch a movie with her?

Upon hearing this, Si Yao felt warmed by his hard work and dedication, and considerately watched him turn and leave.

After leaving the Royal Garden, He Ziyu answered the phone. An Ran's sweet voice came from the other end, "Brother Ziyu, why aren't you by my side when I woke up? You hurt me so much last night."

He Ziyu's throat tightened as he thought of his passionate encounter with An Ran last night.

“Honey, I’ve transferred three million to you. Buy some good food first, and I’ll come find you right away.”

"Why are you transferring money to me? Aren't you trying to save up for Yao Yao's betrothal gifts?"

"Si Yao is a worthless piece of trash. She'll give me money on her own initiative just because I say something casually. Even the three million I gave you was hers. With a woman like this who's always eager to give me money, why should I work hard?"

On the other end of the phone, An Ran laughed heartily.

"If Yaoyao knew you gave me the money she saved for your betrothal gifts, she would definitely be very sad..."

"Who cares if she's upset or not? I've put up with her for seven years. If it weren't for the fact that she's Miss Si, I would have dumped her long ago. She always acts so high and mighty, not letting me touch her at all. I'm not Tang Sanzang. Besides, you and she are best friends. You're serving me in her place. She should be thanking you."

He Ziyu had hinted more than once that he wanted to have a relationship with Si Yao, but he was rejected every time. He had long since grown to loathe Si Yao.

That stiff and boring look of hers only spoils the fun. How could she be as charming as An Ran? With a twist of her waist, he couldn't wait to be with her and live a life of blissful oblivion.

"Baby, even if I marry Si Yao, I won't touch her. Who told her to act so high and mighty? I'll make her live like a widow and beg me to sleep with her, but I won't. I only love you!"

An Ran chuckled, feeling happy just thinking about how much pain Si Yao would feel.

If Si Yao doesn't try to keep her and doesn't let her have Si Qing, then she'll steal Si Yao's man.
