Chapter 737: It Was You Who Forced Me

"Dad, please don't do anything rash. The engagement is happening immediately; what if something goes wrong? What about the multi-billion deal and the billions in cash for the dowry?" Yu Qiang hurriedly stopped the old man.

"Si Chen, tell me, are you going to listen to your grandfather or not?" Yu Luozhong put down the cane in his hand and said, panting for breath.

"Grandfather, are you the same as them too?" Yu Sichen raised her head, a trace of deep disappointment on her face.

"Is there a problem?" Yu Luozhong said angrily, "A grown woman should marry. You might not like the arrangements your parents made for you now, but sooner or later you will thank your parents, because the destination they found for you is the most correct choice."

"Being rich and powerful is the correct choice, is that how I should understand it? Grandfather, I remember you once said you wouldn't force me." Yu Sichen looked straight at Yu Luozhong.

"I won't force you, but Liu Jingye is our Yu Family's only chance. If you marry into his family, his dowry will be enough to revitalize our Yu Family." Yu Luozhong slammed his cane heavily onto the ground and shouted, "So you must think of the big picture. Young Master Liu is coming to see you tomorrow; make sure you dress yourself up."

"I think of the big picture, but who thinks of me?" A flash of anger rose in Yu Sichen's eyes: "I won't see him, and I won't go to the hall three days from now either."

"Rebellious, simply rebellious! I am still the Head of Family of the Yu Family!" Yu Luozhong was so angry that his hands were shaking.

"Heh, I didn't know there was still a Yu Family in Shengjing." Yu Sichen laughed: "More than twenty years ago, the Yu Family was already kicked out of the elite circles. The direct descendants under its name are either in prison or displaced overseas. The so-called Yu Clan has long since fallen into ruin. The Yu Clan? How come I didn't know there was still a Yu Clan? Only you, Grandfather, are still obsessed with the position of Head of Family from twenty-five years ago."

"Say what you just said one more time?" Yu Luozhong's eyes widened; Yu Sichen's words were like a knife, stabbing deeply into his chest.

"Do I need to repeat it? If you are obsessed with a dream of the past, then just keep dreaming. Why do you have to make me bear it?" Yu Sichen was like a furious little kitten.

"You... Yu Sichen, you are unfilial..." Yu Luozhong suddenly widened his eyes, clutched his chest, and fell straight down.

"Dad, what's wrong, Dad? Oh no, the old man is having a heart attack. Someone, come quickly!" Yu Qiang and his wife panicked.

"Grandfather..." Yu Sichen's eyes regained their clarity, and she hurriedly lunged forward, but was pushed away by Yu Qiang.

"You made your grandfather like this, why are you still putting on a hypocritical act?" Yu Qiang roared: "We gave birth to you and raised you; is it possible that we aren't even worth as much as an outsider?"

"You can never see the good done for you. Where did that obedient and sensible Yu Sichen go?" Wang Ling couldn't help but burst into loud tears; she was crying for real.

Today Liu Jingye was going to see Yu Sichen, but if their daughter didn't cooperate, then this marriage would be off.

Thinking about how the dream of entering a wealthy family was about to slip away from her, she cried sorrowfully.

"I'm sorry, Grandfather." Yu Sichen's tears fell. No matter how much she hated them, that deep-seated family affection could never be erased.

After taking a Quick-Acting Heart Pill, Yu Luozhong's condition improved slightly. He struggled to sit up and grabbed his granddaughter: "Si Chen... Grandfather has never asked for anything, but this time, will you listen to Grandfather just once?"

"Just see him once and chat with him. If you don't like him after seeing him, Grandfather guarantees I won't force you again, okay?"

Looking at Yu Luozhong's weak appearance and his expectant eyes, the softness deep in Yu Sichen's heart was touched. She knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, and nodded slightly.

"Good, my good granddaughter." A trace of joy appeared on Yu Luozhong's face, and he closed his eyes in relief.

Soon, the ambulance arrived and carried Yu Luozhong onto it.

As soon as he got on the ambulance, Yu Luozhong sat straight up and waved his hand: "Don't worry about me. Young Master Liu is coming soon; hurry up and watch her to make sure she dresses up beautifully."

"Dad, you're okay?" The couple stared at Yu Luozhong, dumbfounded.

"Nonsense, of course I'm okay. Don't I know my own granddaughter?" Yu Luozhong snorted and said: "If I didn't grasp her weakness and act out this scene, how could she possibly have agreed?"

"Dad, brilliant." Wang Ling gave a thumbs up, then got off the ambulance and turned back to urge her daughter to get dressed.

Soon, Yu Sichen had finished getting ready. Wang Ling looked at her beautifully dressed daughter and said with some heartache: "Si Chen, as parents, who doesn't love their own daughter? Seeing you like this, your father's and my hearts feel like they've been stabbed by a knife."

"But we have no choice, so whether you are willing or not, you must see Young Master Liu today. If you are truly dissatisfied after meeting him, your father and I guarantee we will absolutely not make things difficult for you."

"What you said... is it true?" Yu Sichen didn't quite believe her mother's words.

"Your grandfather has already given his word, could I possibly lie to you?" Wang Ling touched up her makeup: "Show a happy expression today, you know?"

Yu Sichen didn't know what to say, so she nodded helplessly.

At ten in the morning, a custom Phantom stopped at the entrance of the Yu Family home. Liu Jingye was in a white custom-made suit, looking energetic, but the cold, sinister look in his eyes seemed ill-intentioned no matter how one looked at it.

Yu Sichen changed into a pale pink long dress, paired with a simple white gauze coat. Her attire was an extremely elegant ensemble. As the wind blew, she looked slightly thin, but her elegant expression gave people a feeling of a beauty that was Heaven and Human.

A flash of amazement crossed Liu Jingye's eyes. Wang Ling walked over from the doorway, her face full of fawning: "Young Master Liu, you're here. Come in and sit for a while."

"No need, Auntie. Si Chen and I will go out for a walk and be back soon." Liu Jingye put on a polite appearance.

"That's fine. Si Chen, accompany Young Master Liu for a while longer, no need to rush back." Wang Ling giggled: "Young Master Liu is truly a man of talent. Even looking across the crouching tigers and hidden dragons of Shengjing, he is extremely rare. Our Yu Family is truly blessed."

"Auntie is too kind. Si Chen, let's go for a walk together." Liu Jingye was superficially polite, but the look deep in his eyes was terrifyingly calm.

Yu Sichen nodded slightly and followed Liu Jingye into the car.

Not until the Phantom drove away did Wang Ling finally feel Songyi. Immediately, her eyes crinkled into slits, and she hummed a little tune as she returned to her room.

In the morning, just as Chen Yu was about to go out, he received a call from Tang Xue. Tang Xue was crying and shouted in a panic: "Brother Chen, Yueyue is gone, she's gone! What do I do?"

"What's going on? Where are you?" Mentioning Yueyue, the image of a little girl from the orphanage flashed through Chen Yu's mind—the very cute little girl who wanted to thank Chen Yu and give him her most beloved doll.
