Forced marriage?

Xu Yi picked up the invitation, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

What are your thoughts? Do you think he's a good match?

Xu Yi said.

"Brother, you..."

Huang Lu noticed the change in Xu Yi's tone, looked up, and was suddenly stunned.

Xu Yi's eyes were more serious than ever before, with not a trace of the playful smile he had just displayed.

"Little sister, if you think it's suitable, I'll give it my full support. Even if the other person is a good-for-nothing, I'll help you train them into a hero..."

Xu Yi spoke, his voice calm yet brimming with the power of a thunderstorm.

"Brother, what if I feel it's not suitable, but I can't afford to offend the other family, and I'm forced to agree?"

Huang Lu stared blankly into Xu Yi's eyes, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a urge to tease her brother.

"It's simple, just leave it to me."

Xu Yi smiled slightly and said without hesitation, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Although his connection with Huang Lu was written through the system, since he had enjoyed the benefits of having Younger Sister, he wouldn't be an ungrateful bastard.

Before the Background Editor, he and Huang Lu were complete strangers who met by chance. But from the moment the Background Editor and Huang Lu called him "brother," he truly had a little Younger Sister!

Who would dare force Huang Lu to marry a man she doesn't like?

Very good!

He won't know why the red spider lily is red until he beats the opponent black and blue!

"Brother, I knew you would protect me."

Huang Lu giggled, hugged Xu Yi's arm, and snuggled into his embrace, acting like a kitten seeking affection from its old cat.

"Girl, tell me what exactly happened, start from the beginning!"

Xu Yi gently stroked Huang Lu's hair, but his gaze fell on the invitation on the table.

The invitation bore only one large, gold-embossed character: Zhao.

In Magic City and Port City alone, there are no fewer than ten prominent families with the surname Zhao.

But there aren't many who can be compared to Huang Lu.

Soon, through Huang Lu's narration, Xu Yi learned the whole story.

The man's name is Zhao Minglu, the same age as Huang Lu. He comes from the Zhao clan of Port City, which is a prestigious family and does not disgrace Huang Lu's family background.

The Huang family is very powerful, but Huang family also need allies. With several forces intertwined and decades of contact, there's bound to be a time when they see eye to eye.

One day, Huang Lu's father got drunk and, in a daze, arranged a Childhood Betrothal between their children at the dinner table.

Afterwards, Huang Lu's father completely forgot about it until this morning when the other party suddenly produced the Marriage Contract from back then.

The signatures, fingerprints, and even audio and video recordings—the evidence is so complete that it's impossible to refute, and it even makes one wonder if this old man was in such a hurry to marry off his daughter that he left behind so much evidence.

"Don't be afraid, Younger Sister, I'll back you up. What era are we living in? Why are you still talking about arranged Childhood Betrothal?"

Xu Yi thumped his chest loudly.

"Brother, don't be impulsive. Zhao Minglu is very capable. He's not one of those spoiled brats from the Great Family; he's a young genius. You can't beat him."

"As early as three years ago, he had amassed a fortune of tens of billions and was hailed as Asia-Pacific Youth Investment Legend."

"Waaaah, compared to him, I'm just a clueless, abstract-minded girl. I might as well shave my head and become a top-tier nun!"

Huang Lu clung to Xu Yi's arm, crying and making a scene.

Xu Yi, expressionless, pushed Huang Lu away and casually raised his middle finger.

Convex!

He was still foolishly comforting her, unaware that the old man had sent his family a golden son-in-law.

At such a young age, with a net worth of billions, and already renowned across continents before the age of thirty?

Such an outstanding young person is one in a million, let alone one in ten thousand!

"Brother, why did you push me?"

"I'm afraid if I don't push you away, I'll want to punch you!"

Xu Yi looked at Huang Lu speechlessly.

"Silly girl, this is such a good family. They're willing to follow their elders' wishes and fulfill the marriage agreement. Are you sure you don't want to agree?"

"No way! I want to find someone like an older brother. If I can't find one, I'd rather remain unmarried for the rest of my life!"

Without hesitation, Huang Lu immediately replied.

Broken!

That girl is really stupid!

While Xu Yi was relieved, he suddenly noticed that Huang Lu's head did indeed seem to have a slightly pointed tip...

Huh? Really? Just making a joke about Arno, and it's such a big problem?

"Since you don't want to get married, I won't try to persuade you anymore. Where is he? I'll go and help you turn him down."

Xu Yi said calmly.

As the saying goes, nothing beats the simple joy of being happy!

He didn't care what Huang Lu thought; if his sister wasn't willing, then he'd just turn it down.

Being an outstanding person isn't necessarily a good thing; it can lead to intense competition and internal friction.

"Brother, are you serious?"

Before Huang Lu could say anything more, Xu Yi raised his hand, as if to hit her.

If you say another word, I'll regret it!

Huang Lu chuckled, opened the invitation, and revealed the meeting address.

It's not far, just two blocks from the bar.

"Minglu Hotel... Could this be one of his own properties?"

Xu Yi's lips twitched. In this place where land is incredibly valuable, building a Hotel was just too extravagant, wasn't it?

Even the legendary "Number One Richest WeChat Merchant" Yangyang is probably nothing special!

Family members, I've confirmed with Yangyang that this young master truly has the ability to propose an aircraft carrier!

"Wait for my good news."

After Xu Yi finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Brother, don't be in such a hurry, I can go with you!"

Aren't you in a hurry?

No wonder people are anxious!

Xu Yi was worried that if he hesitated for even a moment, he would regret it!

A man's word is his bond; he cannot shirk responsibility!

After crossing two streets, Xu Yi immediately saw a skyscraper that was dozens of stories high. When he looked up, he almost broke his neck.

Goodness!

The super-rich are truly extraordinary.

Many people dream of owning just a large single-level apartment their whole lives, and they don't even dare to dream too much.

This Minglu Tower is dozens of stories high.

"Waking up in a 500,000-square-meter bed in the morning, taking a plane to the toilet, and taking the high-speed train to take a shower—it turns out this isn't an exaggeration, but rather the reality for some people?"

Xu Yi sighed for a while, tightened his delivery uniform, and strode into the building.

That's right.

Even now, Xu Yi is still wearing the deliveryman's uniform.

Inside the Minglu Tower, the crowd was dense. On the high platform in front, a fat man sat in Old Zhang's chair shaped like Flying Dragon, speaking passionately.

Xu Yi didn't hear what was said, not because he was deaf, but because...

"Long live! Applause!"

"Long live Young Master Zhao! Long live him!"

Accompanied by applause, rousing music echoed throughout the building.

It's so hot!

My hands are out of control; I want to cheer!

It's so dazzling! The person sitting on the Dragon Throne is so bright.

Xu Yi suddenly teared up.

Little sister, I misunderstood you. You really don't deserve to marry this young master. He's not even human.
