Qiao Yuchen's eyes flashed, and he laughed, "Miss Chen is indeed intelligent; she knows how to choose the best option."
“Wait a minute,” Chen Siyuan said coldly to Qiao Yuchen, “There are some things we should make clear.”
"Go ahead, I'm listening." No matter what, get this woman to your side first, and take everything else one step at a time.
"I'm going to the capital to take care of my business, and then I'll leave the Qiao family."
Qiao Yuchen's expression changed, becoming somewhat somber.
His hands, hidden in his sleeves, were clenched into fists. Could it be that this woman had really fallen for that hypocrite?
Chen Siyuan continued, "We are just business partners. Once my business is done, we'll go our separate ways."
"You've succeeded, but what about mine?" Qiao Yuchen gritted his teeth and whispered in the woman's ear, "So, cooperating with you is a losing proposition?"
Chen Siyuan stared intently at the man in front of her, who was gritting his teeth. "My mother saved you back then, and I saved your life too. Is your life so worthless?"
"Heh—" Qiao Yuchen snorted coldly.
He had been wandering the world for so many years, and he had never been bullied like this before.
Now he belongs to the Qiao family in the capital, and countless beauties in the entire capital are lining up to be his favorites. Unexpectedly, this girl in front of him is blind to his good looks.
"Whether you want to go with me or not, I have plenty of ways to get to the capital. There's no need for you to be indispensable."
"Girl, you're not planning to remain chaste for someone, are you?" Damn it, is it really too late for him?
"This is my problem, it has nothing to do with you."
"How is it none of my business? You're known as Mrs. Qiao in the capital."
Chen Siyuan looked at the man but didn't say anything, which seemed to indicate that this was the case.
"Fine, you win, but I have conditions."
"Tell me about it." Since it's a collaboration, there's no point in rushing into it.
"Once we arrive in the capital, you shall obey my orders."
"impossible."
"impossible?"
“I know what I’m doing. We haven’t even started cooperating yet, and you’re suppressing me at every turn. Do you think I’m stupid?” Putting aside emotions and getting things out in the open, Chen Siyuan wasn’t afraid of the man in front of her.
"Alright, I'll compromise. Within the Qiao family, all actions must be carried out according to my will, and no one may make decisions on their own."
"OK."
"Also, although we work together, to outsiders we are husband and wife. You can't let me be cuckolded."
"OK."
Qiao Yuchen laughed, "That's more like it." As he spoke, he couldn't resist touching the woman's hair, but she dodged him.
"You are not allowed to lay a hand on me when no one else is around."
Qiao Yuchen... In matters of the heart, he goes to all the trouble of marrying a woman, only to find that she can only look at him and can't do anything with him?
......
Tao family.
Tao Yifan couldn't sit still after hearing about the Chen family's situation.
How did Qiao Yuchen end up in Nancheng?
He even proposed marriage to Chen Siyuan?
Yesterday there was such a commotion, and now all the people who went to pick up Madam Chen are dead. He feels that he has been framed.
Thinking about this makes me even more uneasy.
If all he has done cannot guarantee Madam Chen's safety, then all his efforts have been in vain.
Just as he was feeling annoyed, he heard a commotion outside. With a glance, Ren Lu turned around and went to the door, directly blocking Madam Tao from entering.
After what happened yesterday, Tao Yifan was even more unwilling to see his mother. If it weren't for their relationship, Madam Tao would have died countless times already.
Because of this relationship, being schemed against is even more infuriating.
Ren Lu looked at Madam Tao, putting on a devastated expression. Who was he trying to impress with that act?
Even he found it annoying.
"Get out of my way—" Madam Tao was stopped by a servant. How could she, who was always so proud, agree to this?
He stepped forward and slapped Ren Lu across the face.
Ren Lu was beaten, but he showed no expression, standing still at the door without moving an inch.
"Who do you think you are!" Madam Tao was about to slap her again when Tao Yifan opened the door from the inside.
"Mother, something's wrong!"
Cold and devoid of any emotion, as if facing a stranger.
"Fan'er, look at the people around you!"
"Mother, speak your mind."
"Fan'er..." Seeing her son angry, Madam Tao dared not assert her status. She wanted to explain her good intentions, but she couldn't bring herself to say it in front of so many people. She tried to go in but was stopped at the door. She was annoyed but didn't want to worsen her relationship with her son. "Fan'er, I'm doing this for your own good."
"Are you done talking?"
"Fan'er—" Madam Tao's voice rose, "For a woman, you really want nothing more?"
These words tore a gaping hole in Tao Yifan's heart, and he clutched his chest with one hand.
Everything seemed to be becoming clearer.
"Fan'er, that kind of woman is not worth your effort at all."
"What kind of woman is worthy of it?" Tao Yifan turned around and asked.
Seeing her son's pale face and clutching his chest, Madam Tao took advantage of Ren Lu's worry and slipped inside. "Fan'er, are you alright?"
Tao Yifan dodged Madam Tao's outstretched hand.
Madam Tao was angry, and seeing her son like this, she was even more worried. She shouted outside, "Lin Ma, quickly go find the imperial physician!"
Fortunately, Princess Qiya left a royal physician here; otherwise, her son would have been in danger.
Soon the imperial physician arrived, examined him, and found his complexion not to be very good.
After giving her a series of instructions, Madam Tao looked at her son and began to sob as she left.
It's all because of that bitch Chen Siyuan; she ruined my perfectly good son.
At this point, Madam Tao was still unaware of her mistake. Seeing her son like this, she became angry and blurted out whatever came to mind without thinking.
"Do you know that that bitch is about to marry someone else? And you're still making yourself look so pathetic for a woman who doesn't love you. Is it worth it?"
Upon seeing this, Ren Lu immediately lowered his head.
He deliberately didn't mention this earlier, but who knew Madam Tao would actually say it.
"What did you say?" Tao Yifan felt as if his heart had been ripped out, leaving him feeling empty.
“I said, she has already agreed to marry another man, and there’s no way things can end between you two.” That kind of slut should die. It’s good that she’s married to someone else, cutting off my son’s hopes. My son can now marry Princess Qiya in peace. This is the best thing ever.
Upon hearing this, Tao Yifan was so shocked that he fainted.
The entire Tao family was in complete chaos.
Madam Tao was terrified and burst into tears, as if someone had died.
Wang Yongren was worried about his young master and was very annoyed by Madam Tao's noise, but there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that his young master would come to his senses soon.
