In the Song family's old residence, only the hall was still lit.

"Song Si, I'm not discussing this with you. I'm informing you. You have to get married no matter what."

Lin Qin looked at the stubborn girl in front of her and said firmly.

"I'm not marrying him. The person who's engaged to the second young master of the Shang family is Song Yu. Why should I marry him?"

Song Si refused Lin Qin's request.

Lin Qin was Song Si's stepmother. Song Si had just graduated from university and was looking for a job recently. Lin Qin found an excuse to trick her into returning to the Song family. Her goal was to get her to agree to marry Shang Yao on behalf of her half-sister, Song Yu.

Lin Qin's expression turned extremely ugly as she said angrily, "Don't be so shameless! Your younger sister should marry into the Shang family and be the eldest young mistress. Letting you marry the second young master of the Shang family is already an extremely generous offer!"

"Heh, an extremely generous offer? If it weren't for Shang Yao getting into an accident and losing his sight two days ago, would you have pushed this opportunity to me?"

Song Si sneered and exposed Lin Qin's thoughts.

Thunder Corporation, which was under the Shang family, was a famous business empire in the world.

Lin Qin had used many means to arrange for Shang Yao and Song Yu's marriage. However, she gave it up so easily because Lin Qin did not want her biological daughter to marry a blind man and suffer.

Song Yu, who was beside Lin Qin, mocked. "Sister, even if Shang Yao is blind, he's not someone ordinary women can marry just because they want to. Just be satisfied and don't be so greedy."

Song Si's eyes were as vicious as a knife. "Then why aren't you marrying him?"

"I…"

Song Yu was speechless and could only roll her eyes at Song Si.

At this moment, the man who had been sitting silently on the sofa spoke.

His voice was filled with impatience. "Song Si, you're also a daughter of the Song family. You should know what this marriage between the Song and Shang families represents. Stop throwing a tantrum. Listen to your mother and prepare to marry into the Shang family."

This man was Song Si's father, Song Jiang.

It was fine if Song Jiang did not speak, but after he did, Song Si was even angrier.

Her eyes turned red as she accused, "She's not my mother! My mother is lying on the hospital bed now! Back then, for these two women, you didn't hesitate to chase my mother and me out of the Song family.

"My mother had to drag her body out of the house while enduring a fever of 39 degrees. She got drenched in the rain for the entire night. It caused her to suffer from lung disease for the rest of her life. If it weren't for Grandpa, who couldn't stand the pitiful sight of us, my mother and I would have died 13 years ago!"

Song Jiang frowned and looked away. He did feel guilty about this.

Song Si's tears fell uncontrollably. She said with a trembling voice, "I'm useful to you now, so you're telling me that I'm a daughter of the Song family? Do you really treat me as a daughter of the Song family?"

Faced with Song Si's question, Song Jiang was momentarily speechless.

Seeing that Song Jiang was about to relent, Lin Qin hurriedly walked forward and blamed Song Si. "How can you speak to your father like this? It's fine if you don't acknowledge me, but your father has been the one paying for your mother's medical expenses recently…"

At this point, Lin Qin's eyes shifted as she suddenly thought of a way to trap Song Si.

She crossed her arms in front of her chest and raised her eyebrows. She said in a threatening tone, "Song Si, if you don't marry Shang Yao, the Song and Shang families' collaboration will be ruined. At that time, I'm afraid we won't have the resources to pay for your mother's medical fees."

"That's right, Sister. You just graduated and don't have a proper job. How are you going to pay for the hospital's medical fees that can easily amount to tens of thousands of bucks a month?"

Song Yu pretended to be concerned, but in reality, she was reminding Song Si that she could only rely on the Song family now.

At the mention of her mother, Song Si subconsciously took a step back.

Her eyes were filled with horror and sorrow.

She knew that they were threatening her with her mother's medical fees, but she really did not have the ability to pay for her mother's medical fees.

Her mother could not stop taking her medicine. Did she really have no other choice, then?

"Song Si, think about it carefully. Although Shang Yao is blind, if you marry him, you'll be the second young madam of the Shang family. Haven't you always wanted to distance yourself from the Song family? This is a perfect opportunity."

Lin Qin was very good at seeing through people's hearts. Every word she said pierced Song Si's heart directly.

Song Si lowered her eyes in silence for a long time. Finally, she said calmly, "Alright, I'll marry him."
