Becoming The Darling Of An Imperial Bigshot After Breaking Off Her Marriage - Chapter 2

Chapter 2: The Origin of Satan

Mrs. Lin couldn’t dissuade her son, nor could she stop the Ye family’s decision.

She could only call Ye Ningxuan to her with tears in her eyes before she was sent to the Zhan family. She took out a card and gave it to her. “Ningxuan, I’ve let your mother down, and my unfilial son has let you down even more. Take this money with you. The Zhan family is dangerous. You must protect yourself.”

In fact, Ye Ningxie didn’t expect to be sent to the Zhan family.

She thought that after spending a night in the wilderness with the driver and being framed by the driver, her marriage would be called off by the Lin family. Then, she would be chased out of the Ye family again and sent back to the countryside.

However, who would have thought that the Ye family would be so vicious? Not only did they want her to give up the position of the Lin family’s young madam, but they also wanted her to marry into the Zhan family in place of Ye Xuan and marry that Satan, Zhan Hanjue.

Everyone in Jiang City knew about the rumors about Satan. How could she not know?

The Four Great Clans of Jiang City were: Zhan, Feng, Ye, and Lin.

Zhan Hanjue was the only son of the Zhan family and the current leader.

However, no one had seen his true appearance. An accident thirteen years ago had blinded him and ruined his appearance. Since then, he hadn’t seen anyone and had stayed in the Zhan family’s secluded residence all day. Even so, he had taken over the position of head of the Zhan family ten years ago and still created the legend of the Zhan family’s business empire in the shortest time possible.

From then on, the Zhan family became extremely powerful.

Although they were called the Four Great Clans along with the other three families, the combined power of the three families was probably not comparable to the Zhan family.

Although Zhan Hanjue had been blinded and disfigured, just based on the Zhan family’s wealth, the women in Jiang City who wanted to marry him were too many to count.

Ten years ago, he had married his first wife, Miss Feng.

However, within three months of their marriage, the healthy Miss Feng died.

Two years later, Old Madam Zhan found another match for him. This time, it was even more outrageous. The betrothal gift was already given, but the night before the wedding, the bride-to-be actually committed suicide.

After another three years, Zhan Hanjue found himself a woman. She was a popular female celebrity. She published this piece of good news in the newspaper in a particularly high-profile manner, but not long after, the female celebrity fell into the water while filming. When she was found, she was already dead.

From then on, Zhan Hanjue was nicknamed the “Satan”. He was born to be a jinx to his wife. Whoever married him would die. No matter how rich and powerful the Zhan family was, no woman dared to risk her life to marry into the Zhan family.

Although wealth was tempting, one had to be alive to spend it.

In a flash, Zhan Hanjue would be over thirty, but he would still be a widower.

However, two months ago, the Ye family’s company was short of funds and went to the Zhan family for help. The Zhan family agreed to help the Ye family tide over the crisis, but their only request was for the Ye family to let their daughter marry over.

Ye Henghui only had two daughters. The eldest Miss Ye had gotten married two years ago, and the only one who was still single was the second daughter Ye Xuan.

After the Ye family survived the crisis, they were filled with regret. Only then did they remember her and urge the Lin family to set a wedding date as soon as possible. Then, they planned to kill two birds with one stone and let her replace Ye Xuan with Ye Xuan so that Ye Xuan could marry into the Lin family and they could send her to the Zhan family to repay the debt.

“Auntie, I know you’ve done your best. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself.” Ye Ningxuan accepted the card from her.

It would be a waste not to take the free money. This was what the Lin family owed her.

In this scheme, she didn’t know what role Mrs. Lin was playing, but Lin Yuyang was definitely involved.

Mrs. Lin wiped her tears and said, “If you can’t stay in the Zhan family, take this money and run.”

Ye Ningxuan nodded. Of course she would run. She didn’t want to marry into the Zhan family or the Lin family.

“Speaking of which, you and Zhan Hanjue are fated. He was one of the victims of your parents’ car accident back then, but he survived, while your parents…” Mrs. Lin couldn’t continue and wiped her tears again.

“Auntie, you said that Zhan Hanjue was one of the victims of that car accident?” Ye Ningxie was surprised.

She actually didn’t know about this at all.

She had been at the accident, but she was too young to remember many things. She would investigate when she was older. All traces of the accident had been erased and nothing could be found.

“Yes.” Mrs. Lin sighed. “I hope he will treat you better on account of this.”

Ye Ningxuan’s eyes darkened. She hadn’t wanted to marry into the Zhan family, but now, she had changed her mind.
