Past life protagonist Lu Siqiao was subjected to endless bullying and abuse by her relatives, suffering from severe depression. She overheard her mother planning to sell her kidney for money, and i...
Lu Siqiao was called home by the old lady of the Fang family.
The second branch of the Fang family was also present.
Second Madam Yang Yuzhao, clutching a newspaper, slammed it down on her head, yelling, "Look what you've done!"
Miao Yu sat at the head of the table, her expression indifferent, and she did not utter a word.
Yang Yuzhao pointed at Lu Siqiao's nose and shouted, "You've completely disgraced the Fang family! Right now, there's only one way: marry you off quickly to quell this storm!"
"Qiaowa, don't blame us for being heartless. You're eighteen now, so you can get engaged first, and then get married in two years," Aunt Lu Wan said in a deep voice.
In contrast, Fang Xiaohui and her brother from the second wife's side sat aside, watching the spectacle with amusement.
Cousin Fang Xiaohui crossed her arms and said sarcastically, "Qiaowa, it's rare that the young master of the Lü family is willing to marry you, and we agreed as well. You've really gotten a great deal."
"Oh, so the Fang family wants to arrange a marriage and marry me off to Lü Tao?" Lu Siqiao composed herself, sat down quietly, and said calmly, "But I don't want to marry him. What should I do?"
"Do you want to marry Cheng Ze?" Fang Xiaohui said disapprovingly. "I heard that Chen Luoxia wants to strengthen the family ties through marriage, but unfortunately, your mother wants to match Fang Dingding with Cheng Ze. You can forget about it."
Lu Siqiao said indifferently, "Who said I was going to marry Cheng Ze?"
"So who do you want to marry?" Fang Xiaohui asked with a smile. "Could it be that you want to marry that scoundrel from the Cai family? You can't possibly marry Qian Wenjie, can you?"
Lu Siqiao was too lazy to explain and flatly refused, saying, "I will not marry anyone, let alone Lü Tao."
"Qiaowa-" Miao Yu, who hadn't spoken until now, sighed twice, "Were you with Lü Tao last night?"
Lu Siqiao, in a fit of despair, said, "Grandma, I was with Lü Tao for the first half of the night and with Cheng Ze for the second half."
Such shamelessness shocked the entire audience.
"Shameless!" the members of the Fang family's second branch cursed.
Fang Chen shouted, "You've lost all your shame, and you still want to marry into a wealthy family? The Lü family is already being generous by even wanting you!"
“The Fang family has more than just me as a daughter of marriageable age. I see my eldest cousin is still unmarried. If you want to marry up to the Lü family, why don’t you marry her off?” Lu Siqiao sneered. “Why are you targeting me?”
"I'm not as shameless as you!" Fang Xiaohui shouted, her face ashen. "Who told you to sleep with Lü Tao? You shameless slut, two-timing me, you bitch!"
"Who said I slept with Lü Tao? Did Lü Tao say that?" Lu Siqiao said arrogantly. "That good-for-nothing, he can't get it up. He probably slept with too many women. He's lost out."
Fang Xiaohui's face turned bright red, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
"So you didn't sleep with Lü Tao, so you went to sleep with Cheng Ze instead!" she exclaimed in disbelief.
Lu Siqiao remained silent.
"Whether you slept with Lü Tao or not, the Lü family has come to propose marriage, and you have to marry him!" Yang Yuzhao hadn't expected that she had slept with Cheng Ze, and seeing that things were about to become a dead end, she said anxiously, "I didn't sleep with him, why should I marry him? I don't like him. The Fang family wants to curry favor with the Lü family, so let my eldest cousin marry him."
"A lot of reporters came to the door, all clamoring to see the second young lady."
At this moment, Butler Liu walked in from outside, his face solemn.
The second wife's family pointed at Lu Siqiao and scolded, "Qiaowa, this is your fault. You have to settle this matter."
Miao Yu said coldly, "Since Qiao Wa likes Cheng Ze and the two are in love, then the marriage between the Fang family and the Lü family should be called off. Second son, go and refuse the Lü family, and tell them that Qiao Wa has someone she likes."
"Elder sister, you can't!" Yang Yuzhao firmly objected. "How can we afford to offend the Lü family? What if we anger them and then they turn around and deal with the Fang family?"
"What can we do then? Forced love is never sweet. Qiaowa likes Chengze, and I can't break them up." Miao Yu snorted heavily. "Let's just let this go. Once things have calmed down, people will forget about it."
Yang Yuzhao retorted, "Eldest sister, you make it sound so easy. Qiaowa alone has ruined our Fang family. Your eldest branch won't get away with this."
Seeing that the second wife's behavior was getting increasingly out of control, Lu Siqiao slowly got up and walked directly outside.
Seeing her walk out, the second wife chased after her and yelled, "Qiaowa, what do you think you're doing?"
Lu Siqiao said innocently, "If I, the culprit, don't come forward to clarify, does your second branch of the family have no reason to live?"
"What do you want to say?" Yang Yuzhao was stunned by her calmness and trembled.
Lu Siqiao arrived at the door, waved to the camera flashes opposite her, and said calmly, "Quiet down, I have something to say."
Immediately, all the reporters fell silent.
"I admit, I was with Lü Tao last night, but unfortunately, we didn't get anything done..." she said mysteriously.
This statement has piqued everyone's interest.
"Why?" The reporters crowded around, all wanting an exclusive scoop.
Lu Siqiao's eyes narrowed into slits, revealing a cunning glint: "Because, he's impotent..."
"Ah! Lü Tao isn't good enough?"
"My God, this is exclusive gossip..."
"No wonder, otherwise why would you leave with Cheng Ze? It turns out that Lü Tao is no good!" someone joked.
Lu Siqiao gave a resentful look: "Young Master Lü..." she hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
Immediately, the reporters all picked up their notebooks and frantically wrote something down.
They obtained firsthand information and inquired about the relationship between Lu Siqiao and Cheng Ze.
"Miss Fang, what is your relationship with Cheng Ze? Is it possible that you like Cheng Ze?" They looked at her expectantly.
Thinking of Cheng Ze, Lu Siqiao's eyes showed some emotion, and she smiled wryly: "He is my best friend, nothing more."
The reporters left disappointed.
The second branch of the family, still in shock, looked at Lu Siqiao and cursed, "Lu Siqiao, you've ruined the Fang family!"
Lu Siqiao shrugged and said coldly, "Second Madam, the show has only just begun, why are you in such a hurry?"
She then said to Miao Yu, "Grandma, don't worry, nothing will happen. I promise you."
Miao Yu patted her shoulder and said with heartache, "Grandma is getting old. The Fang family can only be entrusted to you. Whether you live or die, it's all up to fate."
"Grandma, the Fang family will not decline; on the contrary, it will be reborn."
Lu Siqiao exuded a powerful and confident smile, instructing the driver to head to Lü Tao's villa.
At this moment, Lü Tao was gloating over his decision to send people to ambush Lu Siqiao.
After today, Lu Siqiao will have no choice but to marry.
Let's see how he deals with her.
The assistant rushed in from outside, his face grim. He whispered, "Young Master Lü, something terrible has happened. Lu Siqiao has retaliated. She said you—" He didn't dare finish his sentence.
Lu Tao said nonchalantly, "Let her curse me. What am I afraid of? I don't believe I can't beat her to a pulp."
"Young Master Lü, Lu Siqiao said you're not good in that area..."
"What?" Lu Tao jumped up from the sofa and said fiercely, "Say that again!"
