"Being from a rural background means one has no roots, while having a wealthy family background means one is worldly-wise and a perfect candidate for a son-in-law."
"Based on the original disparity between the two families, if my uncle had taken Chen Hai in as his son-in-law, the family wealth wouldn't have flowed into the hands of someone outside the family, and Chen Hai would have been able to remain a wealthy man for the rest of his life. It would have been a win-win situation. Unfortunately, Liu Ruyan ran away."
Chen Ya wanted to laugh.
But he held back.
"What should we do then?" He pretended to frown and think about them.
"So, after Liu Ruyan ran away, they adopted me as their stepdaughter," Liu Ruying said with a smile, "I'm the one who took their place in finding a son-in-law."
"Doesn't that mean..." Chen Ya took a deep breath and widened his eyes cooperatively.
"Yes, our agreement is that as long as I can complete the task of marrying into the Liu family and successfully recruit a son-in-law, the inheritance will be mine."
Liu Ruying crossed her arms, resting the backs of her hands on her jade-smooth chin, a smile on her lips.
Chen Ya understood.
I understand everything.
No wonder after Chen Hai became rich, he no longer wanted to fulfill his engagement with the Liu family.
After all, no one wants to be a son-in-law if they have a little dignity.
No wonder Liu Ruying remained indifferent even after suffering the humiliation of being "used as a substitute" which seemed like a huge humiliation to others.
It turned out that it was because she had a large inheritance to inherit.
No wonder she wanted to keep the inside story secret and insisted on getting married under such circumstances.
It turns out that there was such a deal behind her.
The most important thing is... no wonder Liu's father cares so much about his daughter, but has no concern for her psychology at all.
When his daughter told him that she wanted to run away from home, what he cared about most was not why she wanted to commit suicide, but why she wanted to go against her own wishes.
Perhaps in his opinion, Liu Ruyan had no personality of her own and was just a prop from beginning to end.
A prop used to carry on the Liu family's lineage and continue its glory.
He only hated that this prop was not useful and why she was not a man.
Everything is clear now.
Chen Ya smiled.
sneer.
"No wonder your uncle was so obsessed with Liu Ruyan before. When she disappeared, he practically dug deep into the ground to look for her. After finding her, he begged her to come back, like a feudal patriarch. So, he is indeed a feudal patriarch."
Liu Ruying frowned and looked at him: "How do you know?"
"Oh, wasn't the story between Liu Ruyan and that mysterious writer exposed online? I know a little bit about it."
"Hmph, you spend quite a lot of time on the Internet." Liu Ruying sneered.
She went on to say, "This is a gamble, a huge gamble. I'm betting my youth on it. If I win, I'll live a life of ease and comfort for the rest of my life. If I lose, I'll get nothing."
She said with a sneer on her face:
"They looked at me strangely, thinking I was just a naive person, unaware of the dangers behind this. But they didn't calculate. In my opinion, this gamble has a huge chance of winning."
Chen Ya tilted his head: "Why?"
"Do you know what kind of person Liu Ruyan is obsessed with, the writer?" Liu Ruying sneered. "He's won four Nobel Prizes in Literature, so why would he be interested in my uncle's wealth? If Liu Ruyan were to marry him, would she come back and fight with me?"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and glared at Chen Ya: "You know what? Speak."
"Yeah, I know."
"You seem rather dull," Liu Ruying frowned. "What I mean is, as long as you marry me honestly, you'll be able to leave that mountain valley forever and live a life of luxury. Do you understand?"
"Yeah, I understand."
Liu Ruying shook her hair with an arrogant look on her face.
"But," Chen Ya asked, suppressing a laugh, "if we get married, wouldn't I be a son-in-law? In our countryside, being a son-in-law is very shameful, right?"
Liu Ruying's expression became impatient.
She looked Chen Ya up and down with a cold gaze, crossed her arms, squinted her eyes and said:
"Do you look down on me a little bit?"
"Ah? How could that be? How could I have meant that?" Chen Ya said exaggeratedly.
Liu Ruying said coldly, "Do you think that I'm just a substitute for the real owner, so I'm of low status?"
"That's absolutely not what I meant."
"Although my family isn't as well off as my uncle's, I also come from a prominent family. Ten, let alone one, would be more than enough for someone like you," she said. "You have to understand that if it weren't for this accident, someone like you wouldn't even be qualified to touch me."
"Yeah." Chen Ya nodded in agreement. "A goddess like you, I naturally had no right to touch before."
"Not to mention the service I just gave you with my feet," she said.
"That's natural."
"Hmph. As long as you understand what's going on," Liu Ruying snorted proudly. "As long as you accompany me through this play and take the family property, you can do whatever you want. We don't have to bother each other anymore. Don't you want to do that?"
“Hmm…”
Seeing that he was still hesitant, Liu Ruying thought that he didn't know the weight of the family property she was talking about, so she reminded him:
"Let me tell you, that's money you could never, ever earn in your entire life through your own hard work. Even if you work your whole life, you won't even get a penny of that wealth! But if you marry me, you can get it. Do you know that?"
"Now I know."
Chen Ya's expression was profound.
"Do you have any other opinions?" Liu Ruying stared at him.
"No, but..." Chen Ya considered his words carefully, "But, actually, I..."
