Refusing to marry into a wealthy family, the richest man's uncle coaxed me into marriage

"Tongtong." Li Xin's voice rang out.

When she saw Si Tong standing there motionless like a sculpture after answering the phone, she came over and wanted to pat Si Tong on the shoulder.

But he saw that Si Tong's face was extremely pale.

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, "Who's calling? Why do you look so unhappy when answering a phone call?"

Si Tong came back to her senses and realized that the manager had hung up the phone without her knowing. She shook her head slowly.

Li Xin still speculated, "Is it related to your boss Yu?"

Seeing that Si Tong did not deny it, she knew that she had guessed right, "Look at you, it's obvious that you can't bear to leave me. If you can't bear to leave me, then don't separate."

With Yu Hanshen's status and position, even if there are countless women around him, as long as there is a chance to stay with him, he should seize it.

What's more, she heard from her former roommate who had a crush on Yu Hanshen that Yu Hanshen never played with women.

Si Tong put down his phone, wiped his face, calmed down, and seemed to inadvertently avoid the topic, "Hurry up, or you won't be able to deliver it to the customer in time."

"You." Li Xin reached out and poked her forehead, "You're such a taciturn person!"

When she got home in the evening, her aunt had already prepared dinner. When she saw her coming back, she put the food on the table and said to her, "The people from the decoration company are coming this afternoon."

Si Tong held Yangyang on his lap and was startled when he heard the words, "Decoration company?"

My aunt put the bowl on the table and said, "It's the school district house that Mr. Yu bought when he proposed marriage. It has been under renovation for the past three months. It will be completed today, and they are here to deliver the keys."

"Since you and Mr. Yu have broken up, we can't keep this house anymore." Aunt handed Si Tong the key sent by the decoration company.

"Find some time to call Mr. Yu and return the house to him."

It was only two days ago when my aunt accidentally saw the divorce certificate that Si Tong had kept under her pillow that she realized that this girl had actually divorced quietly.

No wonder I felt that this girl was not in a good state recently.

"Mr. Yu really cares about you. Why do you want to break up with him?"

She has asked this question many times in the past two days.

The Yu family came to propose marriage, and the betrothal gift they offered was not considered expensive in the upper class circles of Haicheng.

It can even be said that in the face of the upper class's luxury houses, luxury cars, expensive jewellery and betrothal gifts worth hundreds of millions, some of these are not worthy of consideration.

But each one was done with great care.

They are all the most suitable things given based on the actual situation of Si Tong's family.

For rich people, care is more valuable than money.

Si Tong looked at the decoration key, thinking about the manager's words, and gradually became absent-minded.

Seeing how sad she looked, her aunt moved the stool next to her, pulled her niece over by her arm, and faced her.

"You must tell your aunt today what happened between you two?" Aunt's face was serious. "Did he do something to let you down?"

Si Tong shook his head.

My aunt was a little anxious: "Then tell me? He treats you well, you can't let him go, and he hasn't done anything wrong to you, so why are you getting divorced?"

Si Tong sat at the dining table, head down, in silence.

"Speak up, do you want to make me die of anxiety?" My aunt slammed the table in anxiety.

"Do you know that when your grandmother was alive, you were the one she was most worried about? She hoped so much that you could live a good life? But as soon as she passed away, you divorced her. Didn't you deliberately make her feel uneasy?"

"If you don't live well in the future, I won't be able to face her when I die!"

My aunt is a good-tempered person and always speaks calmly, but she was really anxious at this moment.

Si Tong looked at her aunt's weathered face, pursed her lips, and spoke slowly: "It was because I married him that He Qinglan hired someone to hurt you and kill grandma."

My aunt said, "I know this, but what does it have to do with your divorce?"

After my aunt recovered, the police came to her and asked her about the details of the car accident and told her about the murderer.

She knew that the daughter of a wealthy family named He Qinglan liked Yu Hanshen and could not bear to see Yu Hanshen marrying someone else, so she was unwilling to do so and that was what led to this disaster.

Si Tong's voice was very soft, "Grandma died because of me, you and Yangyang were seriously injured because of me, I can't be with him as if nothing happened."

"The better he treats me, the happier I feel, and the more I feel sorry for Grandma, you and Yangyang."

My aunt was stunned when she heard this, and it took her a while to come back to her senses from such an outrageous reason.

"Because of this?" She laughed in anger. "Your grandmother passed away, and Yangyang and I were seriously injured. What does this have to do with you?"

"Did you hit it with your car? Did you hire someone to hit it? Neither. Why are you taking the blame on yourself?"

Si Tong said, "But this incident started because of me."

"Is it because of you?" My aunt was so angry at her stubbornness that she took several deep breaths. "You think this is your fault, so you want to punish yourself, right?"

"Then according to what you said, five years ago Chengxi died so tragically to save you, and later Jianjun also died, and their deaths were all caused by you. Should I also think that all this is your fault, and then hate you and never have anything to do with you again?"

"But have I ever resented you? Have I ever blamed you? Didn't I say that to you? I didn't!"

Speaking of Li Chengxi and Li Jianjun, my aunt suddenly burst into tears, feeling grief-stricken. All the grievances and sadness she had experienced over the years seemed to burst out at this moment.

"That was my husband and son. They died suddenly, leaving me with Yangyang, who was less than a year old, and a pile of debts. My world collapsed. Many times I thought, why not take Yangyang and die with them? It would be better to die, and everything would be over."

My aunt was crying as she spoke, and Si Tong's face turned pale.

She knew how hard her aunt's life was, but she didn't know that she had thought of committing suicide. She held her aunt's hand and murmured in fear: "Aunt..."

My aunt cried for a while, wiped her face hard to wipe away her tears, and then looked at Si Tong very seriously.

"Even so, I have never blamed you, because I know that all this is not your fault, the fault is Lu Mingxuan."

"Similarly, I never blamed you for the car accident. It was not you who was at fault. It was the driver, He Qinglan."

The aunt pointed at Si Tong's nose angrily and said, "I, an uneducated middle-aged woman, can figure things out, but you, a college student and the top scorer in the college entrance examination, are so confused?"

"You said you felt sorry for your grandmother, so getting a divorce and making yourself so unhappy is doing her the right thing?"

My aunt's face was worn and haggard by the years, but her eyes were still clear and firm.

That clarity and her words were like a gust of wind that blew into Si Tong's heart and cleared away the layers of fog.

Things that were deliberately buried began to appear.

My aunt looked at her for a moment and said, "You should have told me your stupid idea earlier."

If she had known earlier, she would never have let things turn out like this.

Si Tong was silent again for a long time, then he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled palely, "That's it, we're already divorced."

"It's good like this now. At least I will feel less guilty towards my grandmother."

I don’t know whether this last sentence was said to myself or to my aunt.

Yangyang was so frightened by her mother's sudden breakdown that she froze in place. She pouted as if she was about to cry, but didn't really cry. She slid off the chair and walked over with her short legs to hand her mother a tissue.

My aunt took it with relief, wiped her tears, and reached out to pick up her daughter.

I picked up the chopsticks and was about to feed Yangyang when I suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, your grandmother gave me a package a while ago, saying that if you and Mr. Yu have a conflict in the future and it becomes irreparable, she will give the thing to you, saying that with that thing, Mr. Yu will not dare to let you down."

My aunt said, slapping her head in annoyance, "How could I forget such an important thing? Wait, I'll get it for you now."
