Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO

"Wong Ting is a man of extraordinary presence and immense power, with a distinguished military record. He's Prince Charming in the eyes of countless people."

"Although there hasn't been any official announcement yet, everyone knows that when Wong Ting returns from the border, he'll be the most sought-after man in the city."

"Most importantly, who doesn't know that the person Wong Ting loves is none other than Wong Qifu?" Yang Qing said, a hint of obsession shining in her eyes.

Siao Jia frowned. "But how does this relate to humiliating the Ye Family?"

"Not related?" Yang Qing sneered. "Wong Ting will be back soon—three months at the earliest, six months at the latest. Countless people are already preparing to curry favor with him."

"Wong Qifu's provocation of the Li Family was likely a deliberate move to force the Ye Family's hand. That way, Wong Qifu could find something to hold against them, and Wong Ting would have a legitimate reason to retaliate on behalf of his beloved."

"That's why the Ye Family didn't dare support the Li Family and just had to swallow this bitter pill in silence."

"This is all part of Wong Qifu's strategy."

When Yang Qing finished, Siao Jia was completely stunned. She had never imagined that there were so many twists and turns behind the scenes.

Yang Qing shook her head, a flicker of pity in her eyes. "If I hadn't stopped you here tonight, I'd probably be reading your obituary tomorrow. If you release baseless information like that, you'll be dead before you even know what hit you."

Siao Jia shivered. "Why?"

"If that news gets out, those who want to curry favor with Wong Ting will hear it. Don't you think they'd kill you just to please him?" Yang Qing said, shaking her head.

Siao Jia's heart skipped a beat. She's right.

Yang Qing continued, "Besides, if someone started a rumor that your fiancé was a beggar from the streets, wouldn't you be furious?"

"You should have some idea what would happen if Wong Qifu got angry, right?"

A chill ran down Siao Jia's spine.

"Let's say, for argument's sake, that you're right. Xu Ke and Wong Qifu really do have something going on, and she's keeping him. Do you think the chairman of a large corporation would allow news of her keeping a pretty boy to get out? What if it reaches Wong Ting's ears? You'd have to seriously consider if you could even stay in Tianhai anymore."

Siao Jia was utterly terrified.

Seeing Siao Jia's face turn pale, her wild idea clearly dispelled, Yang Qing didn't continue.

After a long silence, Yang Qing finally said, "Even a fool's thousand guesses will yield one hit, but that doesn't mean you should just wildly speculate. Think again. Who else could be backing Xu Ke?"

"As for him being Wong Qifu's fiancé? Stop wasting time on such far-fetched ideas."

Siao Jia's face flushed with shame at the mockery, but she was powerless to refute it. Under Yang Qing's meticulous logic, she finally realized how foolish she had been.

Xu Ke couldn't even compare to one of Wong Ting's lackeys.

In a situation like this, the idea that Xu Ke could defeat Wong Ting and win Wong Qifu's affection was so absurd it would be like the world turning upside down.

Yang Qing pressed Siao Jia to think for a long time, but they couldn't come up with anyone who had that kind of influence. In the end, Yang Qing had to give up.

It seems we'll have to give up on dealing with Xu Ke for now.

Yang Qing and Siao Jia were extremely resentful. Both of them had been brought to the brink of ruin by Xu Ke, nearly losing everything. To give up now felt like a total loss.

But if they didn't give up, what could they possibly do to him?

"I'm heading back," Yang Qing said, standing up.

Since they couldn't come up with a countermeasure, it was best to leave. The bank's decision hadn't come through yet, so Yang Qing was still unemployed. She needed to go home and figure out how to make some money. She had hoped to swindle Xu Ke out of his house and ten million yuan; failing that, even a few hundred thousand would have been something. But now that all their efforts had been for nothing, Yang Qing's situation was even more dire.

"I'll see you downstairs," Siao Jia offered.

Just then, a cold voice cut in.

"You're leaving with her."

Siao Fan emerged from another room.

Siao Jia froze. "What do you mean?"

"What do I mean?" Siao Fan sneered. "Are you really that clueless?"

Chang Xiujuan also appeared, her gaze dark and menacing as she stared at Siao Jia.

Seeing their expressions, Siao Jia was even more bewildered, but she had a sinking feeling it was nothing good. "What's wrong?"

Yang Qing was stunned. Is the Siao family imploding?

"What's wrong? Let me ask you, where did the sixty thousand yuan from that bank card go?" Siao Fan snarled, looking as if he wanted to skin her alive.

"Did you steal your brother's bride price?" Chang Xiujuan advanced on her, roaring furiously.

"I didn't!" Siao Jia's face drained of color as she frantically denied it.

"Then where did the money go?" Siao Fan bellowed.

He needed to get married, too. Without that money from Siao Jia, he couldn't make the down payment.

Siao Jia hesitated.

If I tell them the truth, knowing Chang Xiujuan and Siao Fan, they'll just condemn me even more. The humiliation I suffered tonight was already so great. If they find out I also spent sixty thousand yuan because of it… they'll be cursing my name for the next six months.

But Yang Qing couldn't stand by and watch any longer.

Siao Jia might not be the sharpest, but she was completely devoted to the Siao family. And now she's being blamed for spending her own savings? What kind of logic is that? This mother and son are unbelievable!
