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.
Ye Xuan married out of the Ye family with great fanfare.
Meanwhile, Ye Ningxuan was secretly sent to the Zhan family's wedding car by the Ye family.
Zhan Hanjue had been divorced several times. The Zhan family was afraid that if they made too much of a fuss, they would attract trouble again. Therefore, the wedding was canceled and she was simply brought over.
The Ye family naturally had no objections. They had gone all out to prepare for Ye Xuan's wedding, and there was nothing they had prepared for Ye Ningxuan. The Zhan family not holding a wedding was exactly what they wanted.
The Zhan family's butler was reporting to his master in a low voice, "Young Master, Young Madam is here. However, the Ye family gave us the wrong person."
"Wrong person?" The man's thin lips parted, and his voice was cold.
Butler Wu lowered his head and explained, "It was originally agreed that it would be the second daughter of the Ye family. Now, it's the third daughter of the Ye family. The Ye family didn't name who it would be back then. The second Miss Ye has already married into the Lin family, so they can only send the third Miss Ye over."
"Ye Henghui is so bold," the man reprimanded coldly.
He didn't care who married into the family, but he hated being lied to.
Butler Wu trembled in fear and asked fearfully, "As for the Young Madam… what should we do about her?"
The man stood up. He was tall, with a handsome face and chiseled features. He was born with a noble aura. Even though his deep eyes were dim, it didn't affect his powerful and condescending aura.
"Send her back and prepare for the acquisition of the Ye Corporation."
They dared to deceive him? He would show the Ye family the consequences of deceiving him.
"Yes." Butler Wu nodded.
"Hold on."
Old Madam Zhan came in, leaning on her cane. She gave Butler Wu a look, dismissing him.
"Why are you here, Grandmother?" Zhan Hanjue asked.
Old Madam Zhan said, "Today is the day your new wife enters the family. How can I not come? I've heard about it and immediately found someone to read her fortune. Your destinies are compatible. You two are a compatible couple. The bride can't be returned. Since she's the wrong one, let's just go with the flow."
"Grandma…"
"It's time for you to leave a descendant for the Zhan family." Old Madam Zhan's tone was implacable.
Zhan Hanjue lowered his eyes and gently tapped his long fingers on the table, making a tapping sound.
He neither agreed nor refused.
Old Madam Zhan knew that he had agreed to leave Ye Ningxuan behind and left with satisfaction.
Ye Ningxuan waited in the hall.
But she knew the Zhans would keep her.
Although time was of the essence, she made a small preparation for staying.
Old Madam Zhan had been a Buddhist since many years ago and was quite superstitious. In recent years, she even liked to read fortunes. Therefore, she had asked someone to bribe the fortune teller that Old Madam Zhan often used yesterday night to ensure that she would be kept by the Zhan family today.
As expected, Butler Wu returned not long after. "The Young Master invites you over."
Ye Ningxuan nodded and followed him into the backyard.
The backyard was quiet and gloomy. Even the street lamps were dim.
Through a corridor, an archway ahead looked like the maw of a monster, as if whoever entered it would be to be swallowed and doomed.
"Young Master, the Young Madam is here." Butler Wu pushed open a dark red wooden door.
The wooden door made a heavy sound. It seemed old.
Ye Ningxuan walked in and saw the man standing by the bed. He turned around when he heard the voice.
But he quickly waved Butler Wu away.
Butler Wu turned around and left. When he left, he even considerately closed the wooden door for them.
Ye Ningxuan was already mentally prepared that he was ugly, old, and blind.
However, when she saw Zhan Hanjue's appearance clearly, she was stunned!
Who was this man?
He was handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He just stood there, exuding a noble aura.
"Zhan Hanjue?"
No wonder she was surprised. Zhan Hanjue was a business genius, but no one had ever seen him in person. He'd been a mystery for the last dozen years or so.
However, combined with the car accident, fire, and blindness thirteen years ago, and the repeated deaths of his wives, everyone naturally thought that he looked detestable and fierce.
Otherwise, how could he live up to the title of "Satan"?
"Miss Ye, who was sent back to the countryside thirteen years ago and was only brought back to the Ye family yesterday." Zhan Hanjue calmly revealed her background.
Ye Ningxuan's eyes flashed. The other party had investigated her background so thoroughly.
"Do you know why I kept you even though I knew you were a substitute?" Zhan Hanjue's voice was low. "Even though you're ugly and had lost your virginity?"
"I don't know," Ye Ningxuan replied silently.
"I'm blind, so I don't care what you look like." Zhan Hanjue's thin lips curved into a cold smile. "There's no place for you in the Ye family. You can stay in the Zhan family, but you need to do your duty as Mrs. Zhan."
"Duty as Mrs. Zhan?" Ye Ningxuan raised her eyes slightly.
No wonder he looked at her with blank eyes. He really was blind.
That made things easier. It would be easier for her to do things from now on.
"Come and undress me," Zhan Hanjue ordered.
