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

On the day when the Qingguang Award winners were announced, Si Tong received a call from Zhimo Institute informing her of the time and place of the award ceremony.

But as her birth was imminent, Yu Hanshen hardly allowed her to go out except for prenatal checkups.

In the hospital in the morning, Si Qingcheng suggested that she go to the award ceremony. Yu Hanshen did not comment at the time. Si Tong felt that he did not seem to want her to go.

Yu Hanshen looked at his wife who was sitting on his lap, and when she leaned over to kiss his thin lips, he raised his hands and pinched her neck.

"Yinqin, have you come all this way just to attend the award ceremony?" He gently pushed Si Tong away, leaning his broad body against the back of the chair, with a casual and relaxed posture.

Si Tong's beauty trap was interrupted. She was dissatisfied that this man was not tempted by her, so she bit her lip, then put her arms around his neck with a bright smile.

"May I?"

Yu Hanshen took away the hand that was holding her neck, scratched the tip of his wife's pretty nose, and said lovingly, "Did I ever say I wouldn't let you go?"

Si Tong's beautiful eyes suddenly brightened, "So you don't object to me going?"

"Go if you want to." Yu Hanshen held Si Tong's lower back firmly with one hand and covered her pregnant belly with the other hand.

Feeling the fetal movement in his palm, the man's eyes became more tender, "I will accompany you and your children."

"Thanks husband."

Si Tong smiled and leaned into Yu Han's arms. Although he often acted in a strong manner, he always respected her opinions when dealing with her.

On October 8th, the Qingguang Award ceremony was held at a hotel under the Twin Group.

When I got up in the morning, the sky was gloomy and it seemed like it was going to rain.

The award ceremony was at 2:30 p.m. After lunch, the styling team from YM Haute Couture Center came to do Si Tong’s makeup.

The dress was a high-waisted organza style, and the bulging belly was covered by layers of fluffy organza.

With the intricate embroidery and sparkling diamonds, if you didn't know, it would be hard to tell at first glance that she was nine months pregnant underneath her dress.

Because the style of the dress is cute, the stylist gave her a playful hairstyle and her makeup also looked pink and watery.

Yu Hanshen, however, was dressed in his usual dark attire, with the majestic aura of a group boss. When Si Tong stood with him, they looked more and more like an old father leading his daughter.

At the hotel entrance, as soon as the two got out of the car, Mo Xubei teased them: "You are becoming more and more like a father."

He was taking a day off today and had nothing to do, so he killed some time at the awards ceremony at home.

Yu Hanshen ignored his teasing and wrapped the coat on his arm around his little wife's shoulders.

Si Tong was held in Yu Hanshen's strong arms. Before entering the hotel, he looked back at the dark sky.

It seemed that I was affected by the weather, and I felt that the heavy dark clouds seemed to be pressing on my heart.

"It's going to rain," she said.

The voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself.

Yu Hanshen heard it and tightened his arms around her shoulders. He knew that she didn't like rainy days, so he talked about other things to divert her attention.

"During the Q&A session later, maybe you have memorized all the questions asked by reporters?"

The Qingguang Award ceremony was much more grand than the last Global Mathematics Competition ceremony, and the process was also different, with an additional segment for interaction with reporters.

However, Zhimo Institute had made arrangements in advance on what questions the reporters should ask and even provided reference answers.

"I've remembered it and have prepared the answers. I didn't refer to the answers given by Zhimo Academy at all." There was a hint of pride in the girl's tone.

Yu Hanshen lowered his head and saw the expectation of his praise in his young wife's eyes.

The man smiled calmly and affirmed her lovingly: "Very good."

Si Tong smiled.

Mo Xubei got goosebumps all over his body as he watched from the side. He rolled his eyes and quietly stayed away from these two people who loved to torture their dog.

After handing over the invitation letter at the reception desk and verifying their identity information, the three of them walked into the award ceremony hall.

They arrived not too early, and there were quite a lot of people sitting in the auditorium of the award hall, many of them familiar faces.

In addition to reporters from several major news portals in Haicheng, the leading figures in the mathematics world, academicians and professors from various research institutes, and heads of leading companies in major technology industries.

Both Huangsheng Group and Shen’s Group have invested in Zhimo Institute. The people who came from Shen’s side are Shen Muli and Shen Yanxi.

Si Tong had just greeted the two when Si Qingcheng came over and called her, "Professor Huang Anshan is here. I'll take you to meet him."

At this time, Yu Hanshen dealt with the people who came up to talk to him and went over with Si Tong.

Shen Yanxi felt upset when she saw this scene.

In the past, Si Qingcheng also took her to make connections in this way, but she earned this opportunity by blocking a bowl of hot soup for Shen Muli and leaving scars all over her back.

Si Tong didn't do anything but got help from Si Qingcheng.

Soon, Si Tong came back from meeting Professor Huang. Shen Muli saw that she was in high spirits and asked with a smile, "I heard that Professor Huang is planning to take in a closed disciple recently. Did you get the place for the assessment?"

Si Tong smiled and nodded. She herself did not expect to have such an unexpected gain.

No matter why Professor Huang gave her a place in the exam, it was because he saw her ability or because of the face of President Huangsheng and Chairman Shuangsheng, she should be happy.

It's a great opportunity that many people would ask for.

Shen Muli affectionately tucked the hair on Si Tong's cheek behind her ear, with admiration and love in his eyes, "You're getting better and better."

Shen Yanxi lowered her eyes and slowly clenched her hands on her legs.

The award ceremony started on time at 2:30.

After the host’s opening remarks, Si Qingcheng and the dean of Zhimo Institute took the stage to speak, followed by the award ceremony, in which Professor Huang Anshan, an academician of the School of Mathematics, presented awards to fifteen winners.

After that, fifteen winners spoke one after another. Then it was Si Tong's turn to go on stage. She stood under the dazzling lights, her expression calm, and her eyes met with Yu Hanshen's in the audience.

This scene inevitably overlaps with the award ceremony where she was exposed to be in jail last time.

But the state of mind is completely different.

Last time, because she had hidden something from him, she was worried that he would dislike her after knowing the truth, and she was filled with anxiety.

At this moment, the baby in her belly was moving, and her husband was looking at her lovingly, and she was filled with happiness.

After the speeches, Si Tong and fourteen other winners stood side by side on the large podium, waiting for questions from the reporters who were already eager to ask.

It went smoothly at the beginning. The reporters asked questions that were arranged by Zhimo Institute, and the winners answered them fluently.

The atmosphere on site was relaxed and harmonious.

"I have a personal question for Si Tong." A male reporter in black suddenly said this.

The atmosphere at the scene was noticeably stagnant.

Si Tong looked at the reporter calmly without saying a word.

The host smiled and was about to speak to smooth things over when the male reporter in black asked loudly into the microphone:

"Excuse me, Si Tong, which one do you think is more important, a person's talent or character?"

What is the problem?

The winners on the stage looked at each other in bewilderment, and even the host was confused.

The male reporter continued without pausing, "The original intention of establishing the Qingguang Prize was to reward scholars who have made achievements in mathematics, but if the winner has a bad moral character, I don't think she is qualified to receive the Qingguang Prize's million-dollar prize."

"As far as I know, Si Tong's mother was seriously ill and dying, but Si Tong abandoned her sick mother in order to marry into a wealthy family."

"Such an unfilial daughter is a disgrace to the mathematics community. How can she be qualified to stand on the podium and enjoy the prize money and praise?"

Following the male reporter's words, there was a commotion at the scene.

Everyone's eyes fell on Si Tong. She stood there silently. No matter how dumb she was, she could tell that the male reporter was coming for her.

At this time, no matter what she said, the other party could find fault with her.

Yu Hanshen and Si Qingcheng both looked gloomy and stood up at the same time.

Yu Hanshen took a few big steps onto the podium and put his arm around Si Tong's waist in front of everyone.

Si Qingcheng called the on-site security and ordered them to ask the reporters to leave.

Yu Hanshen said to Si Tong in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Then he took the microphone from her hand, and directed his dark eyes towards the male reporter, while his tone of voice showed no intimidating aura of a superior.

"I am Si Tong's husband. In view of the false statements made by this journalist friend, which have seriously violated my wife's right to reputation, I will later entrust a lawyer to send a letter to this journalist to hold him accountable for his legal responsibilities."

He didn't even bother to give any explanation, but instead sent a lawyer's letter straight away, which shows that Yu Hanshen is very tough in his approach.

Those who originally had some faith in the reporter now began to feel more inclined towards Si Tong.

In the public's opinion, whoever dares to take legal action has a clear conscience.

Yu Hanshen added: "I also ask all guests to judge the truth of the matter rationally, and not to follow the crowd and be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives."

Under Yu Hanshen's power, the male reporter instinctively retreated and felt fearful.

After gritting his teeth and struggling for a moment, he chose to speak again: "I didn't lie!"

"Si Tong's mother is here. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."

As he spoke, the male reporter looked towards the back of the audience and said, "Ms. Han, please tell us, did Si Tong ignore you when you were sick?"

In the last row of the audience, a person stood up. He had a large black printed scarf wrapped around his head and was wearing a mask and sunglasses.

As she took off her scarf, mask and sunglasses, revealing a sallow and thin face, anyone could see that she was terminally ill.

The male reporter immediately handed over the microphone. Han Lingli looked at Si Tong across the crowd, and her voice came from the speakers: "Tongtong, I'm your mother."

"I haven't seen you for several months. I went to your house to look for you, but you didn't see me, so I had to come here to look for you."

There was a buzz of discussion in the audience.

Si Tong was taken down from the podium by Yu Hanshen. Hearing these words, he felt cold all over.

She didn't know what Han Lingli was going to do, but she knew she was up to no good.
