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

Century Hotel is a symbol of Beijing's top hotels, created by an international luxury hotel group, and is the only one of its kind in China.

Because it only catered banquets for the four major families and national dignitaries, it was known as a gathering place for the city's elite and a place where exiled nobles squandered their wealth.

The Bo family is holding an auction here today to raise funds for children in mountainous areas and to do charity work.

On the way here, Yu Jinzhao did some research.

The Bo family is a family with a long and distinguished history of alchemy, having meticulously prepared medicines for generations, and living a low-key and secluded life.

More than 20 years ago, after the unexpected death of the renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor, the Bo family was devastated and set a rule to hold a large-scale charity event once a year, making a public appearance to pray for his recovery.

Their mission is charity. Aside from rare and exotic items that can be auctioned off, the medicines they put up for auction will only be sold to those in need.

For example, if someone in the family is sick and the medicine needs to be auctioned off, the Bo family will give priority to the sick family, no matter how high the price offered by others.

However, those who can get here are either rich or powerful, so there aren't that many people seeking medical treatment. Therefore, most people come under the guise of charity, with the real intention of networking and building connections.

But the Bo family is serious about charity, and if someone tries to compete with her, she should be able to win through medical expertise.

Therefore, she has a very high chance of obtaining the Linden Red Ganoderma tonight.

She had to get this medicine in order to cure her grandmother's illness.

Thinking this, she walked towards the magnificent golden gate when suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind her, "Chao Chao".

Yu Jinzhao paused, turned her head slightly, and saw Jiang Xintong and her daughter Lin Hui walking towards her hand in hand.

The mother and daughter wore matching purple mink dresses, exuding luxury and elegance befitting socialites.

Butler Yu stood guard beside them, carrying their bags.

Lin Hui happily reached out to take Yu Jinzhao's hand, "Chaozhao, it really is you! I thought I was seeing things."

Yu Jinzhao turned to the side, his gaze as piercing as ice and snow, his dark pupils like the sharpest blade in the world, capable of tearing apart the vicious and ugly true face beneath Lin Hui's mask of feigned motherhood.

Lin Hui lost face, but she wasn't unhappy. Instead, she smiled even more gently.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Jiang Xintong's eyes, and she giggled.

"So it turns out my sister was waiting for me here all morning. Uncle Yu and Brother Jinxian are really something, they only asked me to come and apply medicine to Grandma, ignoring that you love to join in the fun. They didn't even bother to talk to the Bo family so you wouldn't have to come in with me."

After Grandma's accident, Yu Jinzhao's refusal to admit her mistake angered Brother Jinxian, so he froze her bank card and only gave her enough living expenses for food and lodging. She was no longer the young lady who used to squander money, and I don't know what she was doing here.

Then she remembered how she had always stubbornly tried to save her grandmother with the ridiculous idea of ​​traditional Chinese medicine.

I guess he came along after hearing Uncle Yu say that he could save his grandmother with linden wood and red lingzhi, hoping to steal something.

But it doesn't matter. She can use this opportunity to gain the favor of Bo Sibai, the heir of the Bo family, with her real skills, and hopefully get a job in the Bo family. Her path to becoming a doctor will take off.

People were coming and going outside the hall. Hearing Jiang Xintong's words, they couldn't help but whisper to Yu Jinzhao.

"So she's the spoiled and domineering eldest daughter of the Yu family. She's so beautiful."

"What's the use of being pretty? I heard that her father and brothers sent her abroad three years ago and she has fallen out of favor. I thought it was true at first, but it turns out that she can only rely on her stepdaughter's fame to attend banquets. This rich heiress has really reached the end of her career."

"Isn't that right? Look at that stepdaughter, she's wearing a Russian sable dress, worth millions, while the daughter of the first wife is dressed so plainly. Has she fallen so low that she can't even afford a dress?"

Jiang Xintong looked at Yu Jinzhao.

She was wearing a traditional Chinese style misty blue long dress, the hem of which reached her ankles, and white sneakers.

It couldn't be more ordinary, but she always relies on her face to make her clothes look good. Even such an unremarkable outfit looked ethereal on her.

What's the use of looking good if it's still a cheap product with such an outdated Chinese style? It's completely unworthy of such an important occasion.

Nowhere is as noble as my own sable.

Jiang Xintong stroked the mink fur, radiating an overwhelming sense of superiority.

Who doesn't like luxury goods? She was always hungry and cold when she was young. Fortunately, when she was ten years old, her mother took her to the Yu family. At that time, she saw Yu Jinzhao wearing a noble princess dress and felt the gap between people for the first time.

Even though she became the second young lady of the Yu family and escaped the hardships of the slums, she still felt resentful because of this disparity.

Just because she is a stepdaughter, Yu Jinzhao can have a room full of luxury goods, while she can only have less than a third of what Yu Jinzhao has.

Even if she tries her best to please everyone in the Yu family, she still can't be on equal footing with Yu Jinzhao.

Fortunately, fate has smiled upon her, and now the tables have turned. Jiang Xintong is now far ahead of Yu Jinzhao.

Lin Hui also felt that she and her daughter had finally made it through, and a happy smile appeared in her eyes.

Yu Jinzhao raised her delicate eyebrows, watching the mother and daughter sing back and forth like two clowns performing a play, which she found quite amusing.

Her gaze swept over their gleaming sables, deepening slightly. Then, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing great interest.

Well, this is about to be interesting.
