Shi Family Villa.
"Mom, I won't marry, I'd rather die than marry, wuu wuu wuu..."
Shi Yuke threw herself into her mother's arms, crying her heart out, gasping for breath with her pretty face filled with despair.
She had never dreamed that what was supposed to be a joyous matchmaking session would turn out to be with a blind man!
The moment she saw Sheng Hanyu, she was moved; the man had a rugged handsomeness, with a straight nose and sharp eyebrows, and his thin lips were lightly pursed.
He was wearing sunglasses, which obscured his eyes but still made her fall in love at first sight, her heart fluttering like a little deer and her face flushing with shyness.
But...
He introduced himself, and said that he had been blind for five years due to an accident and that he would never be able to see again in his lifetime!
Then he asked if she minded?
Of course, she minded.
Even though Sheng Hanyu was extraordinarily handsome, even more so than a movie star, what use was that?
She did not want to marry a blind man and become a laughingstock for the rest of her life!
"Sweet daughter, stop crying, mom will figure something out; I will never let you marry a disabled person, stop crying, you're breaking my heart," Jiang Yadan said while comforting her daughter and glaring fiercely at her husband sitting opposite her.
This whole situation was his fault for not explaining things before the matchmaking.
Even if the Sheng family was powerful and wealthy enough to rival a nation, Jiang Yadan would never agree to have her precious daughter marry a blind man.
"Yuke cannot marry Sheng Hanyu, Yucheng, you can't push our precious daughter into a fire pit!" Jiang Yadan said, wiping her tears.
Shi Yucheng sighed, helplessly saying, "Do you think I want to? But you know our family's situation, we have so much debt; if Yuke marries into their family, our family won't have to declare bankruptcy."
"The old master of the Sheng family has promised that as long as we agree to the marriage, they will give her ten percent of the company's shares, and there's also a dowry of one hundred million..."
Before he could finish speaking, the mother and daughter stopped crying at once, their eyes revealing a greedy shine!
Shi Yuke clung to her mother's arm, shaking it and cooing, "Mom, ten percent of the Sheng family's shares, I want them, and one hundred million in dowry is enough to elevate our family to Jiangzhou's first-class families..."
Jiang Yadan thought her daughter had changed her mind. Although she was also tempted by the generous offer, she still hesitated, thinking of the sacrifice of her daughter's happiness, "Silly girl, don't agree so quickly, think it through."
"Mom—"
Shi Yuke straightened her back, a crafty glint crossing her beautiful face: "Dad, Mom, have you forgotten we have another daughter in our family? We can let Shi Youxuan marry him; give the shares to me, and the dowry to Dad and Mom. Perfect!"
The Shi family had two daughters. The elder daughter Shi Yuke was their biological child, fair and beautiful, the number one beauty in Jiangzhou City!
The younger daughter Shi Youxuan was the daughter of Shi Yucheng's good friend. Her parents died in a car accident shortly after she was born, so Shi Yucheng adopted her.
The younger daughter was actually even more beautiful than the elder, but when she was twelve, she fell down the stairs and suffered brain damage, becoming mentally impaired.
Shi Yucheng disagreed, "No, if Yuke does not want to marry, we will just refuse; we cannot let Youxuan marry into their family."
Jiang Yadan quickly brushed aside her previous gloom and showed approval for her daughter's idea, "Yuke is right; Youxuan is also a daughter of the Shi family. After all, the Sheng family said they want to marry a daughter from our family, so it doesn't matter which one."
Shi Yucheng still opposed, "This is ridiculous. Yuke goes for the matchmaking, and then we send Youxuan to marry in her place?"
"Youxuan has brain damage, even if Sheng Hanyu is disabled, he will not agree to marry Youxuan. The Sheng family is too powerful and influential for us to provoke; if this turns from a marriage into a feud, our whole family will be doomed."
He disagreed, but his wife and daughter, as if possessed, took turns brainwashing him.
Jiang Yadan said, "Initially, when the Sheng family came to propose, they mentioned they were interested in our daughter, but they did not specify which daughter, and during the matchmaking, the kids met alone. Young Master Sheng is blind; he wouldn't know the woman going to meet him was Yuke."
Shi Yucheng, "...".
Shi Yuke, "Exactly Dad, he doesn't even know what I look like; letting the mentally impaired sister marry in my place is just the same; Sheng Hanyu is blind, and Youxuan is mentally impaired, they're a match made in heaven."
Jiang Yadan urged, "Husband, please agree, ten percent of the Sheng family shares and one hundred million in dowry, with all this money Yuke can find an outstanding man to marry, and the Shi family will become a renowned family in Jiangzhou!"
Shi Youxuan was hiding behind a pillar, clutching a teddy bear, quietly listening to their argument.
She was hanging her head low, but even if someone noticed her sitting there, no one would see the intelligent sparkle in Shi Youxuan's beautiful eyes, the arch of her eyebrows, and the smile curling at the corner of her mouth, revealing a hint of scorn!
She didn't look like a mentally impaired person at all.
