Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

"Hey, our dear and beautiful Dr. Tang is back!"

The person who came was Su Xue, Tang Junyao's best friend, the eldest daughter of the Su family in the capital's elite circle, and also an obstetrician and gynecologist at the Capital General Hospital.

Tang Junyao tossed the Mercedes keys to her with a flourish, sending them flying in an arc through the air: "I'm going to cancel my leave and then I'll come back and chat with you."

Su Xue watched her retreating figure and shook her head helplessly, "Grandet."

I glanced at my watch!

She asked for three hours off, and at most, it only took 58 minutes. She still has 2 hours and 2 minutes of leave left. She really should speed things up, otherwise, if two minutes pass, she won't be able to make up for the 2 hours. She'll probably wear down the director.

After Tang Junyao returned from her leave, she went to her office, put on her white coat, and prepared to go to work. Su Xue leisurely came in with two cups of coffee: "Tell me, what do you think of the husband Grandpa Tang found for you?"

Without looking up, she continued straightening her clothes, as if she weren't the one getting the marriage certificate today, and said indifferently, "Which aspect are you referring to?"

Su Xue's lips curled up slightly, her gossip-loving nature shining through: "Oh my, you know everything about him in just one hour? He's no good!"

"Slow down, or they might confiscate your license. It's freezing cold, but he's quite handsome."

"Let me see your marriage certificate. Let your sister take a look. I'll also let my brother check it for you for free, so your married life will be more harmonious in the future."

"Here, look at this." She deftly pulled out the marriage certificate and placed it in front of her, then went about her own business, turning on her computer.

"Damn it, do you even know who your husband is? Tang Junyao, you're in deep trouble!" Su Xue stared wide-eyed at the marriage certificate.

Upon hearing this, Tang Junyao slowly raised her delicate face, blinked her beautiful eyes, and looked at her best friend with a puzzled expression, wondering what was wrong.

"Who is the person on the marriage certificate? Just don't tell me it's your ex-boyfriend."

Su Xue's reaction told her that they knew each other.

"Ex-boyfriend my foot! The man you married is far more terrifying than my ex-boyfriend. This is Ji Hancheng, the eldest son of the Ji family, the richest family in the capital. Don't tell me you don't know him?" Su Xue looked at her like she was an idiot.

"How would I know who he is if I don't even know him? It's good that he's not your ex-boyfriend, otherwise it'll be a bit awkward if we hang out together in the future. You'll feel embarrassed seeing us all lovey-dovey."

Su Xue: "............" Is this what she was talking about? Is this it?

"Since she's on my marriage certificate, you can give me some pointers if you want. It's hard to believe you're holding back, so go ahead and say it." She tossed her pen aside with an indifferent attitude, leaned back in her chair, and looked ready to listen intently to the drama unfold.

Since both sides were forced into this situation and have no good feelings towards each other, it doesn't really matter whether they know each other or not. It's just a matter of getting to know each other so that they can avoid potential problems if they live under the same roof.

She hasn't considered divorce yet. Her parents' marriage was a failure, and she doesn't want to follow in her mother's footsteps. So, from the moment she signed the marriage papers, she foolishly dreamed of not getting a divorce. She thought that over time, feelings might develop, and her grandfather probably wouldn't push her into a fire pit.

Given her trust in her grandfather, Tang Junyao was quite confident at the moment. However, she never expected that the man she married had negative emotional intelligence.

Su Xue sighed heavily, then placed the coffee in front of her, looking at her with a disappointed expression, and said in a motherly tone, "You'll definitely need this later, so take it."

Adjusting his posture and demeanor, he slowly said, "The person on your marriage certificate is Ji Hancheng, the richest man in the capital, the eldest son of the Ji Group. There's no doubt that this is the Ji family you think is the most famous in the capital. He is the only grandson of Old Master Ji. Of course, Old Master Ji also has a brother, who is Ji Hancheng's second grandfather. He also has a grandson. The two of them are openly and secretly competing within the Ji family. Such family struggles are very normal in the circle of the wealthy. This is not the focus right now. I will explain it to you later."

Su Xue swallowed, her mouth a little dry from talking, and continued her explanation, "Let me first tell you about this Young Master Ji. Everyone in Beijing's social circles knows that Ji Hancheng is an unpredictable person. He took over the Ji Group when he was 24 years old. He doesn't hold back when he does things, and he's not easy to talk to. People who offend him are basically going to go bankrupt. In three years, he has brought the Ji Group to several levels. In the capital, everyone calls him Master Ji. If he says he will make a company go bankrupt today, he will never wait until tomorrow."

"However, no one dared to offend him, so he didn't take down many companies, and his performance in this area wasn't very high."

This is similar to riding an electric scooter without a helmet. If everyone follows the rules for safe travel, then the police won't have anywhere to put their tickets.

After saying that, Su Xue nodded affirmatively and raised her chin, indicating that this was her newlywed husband.

Tang Junyao listened with skepticism, but even so, she picked up her coffee and took a big gulp, asking her best friend doubtfully, "Are you sure you're talking about a person and not a god?"

Su Xue was so angry she wanted to take a nitroglycerin pill. She deliberately pinched her philtrum and wiped her face. "Big sister, do you think I'm playing with you? Master Ji is notoriously difficult to get along with. It's just that he never gives interviews to the media, otherwise I would really like to show you his photos and explain it to you. But I only met him once, at a banquet with my brother, so it's normal that you don't know. But what's going on? You got a marriage certificate with this Yama King? Didn't Grandpa Tang tell you about the person you got the certificate with?"

Tang Junyao shrugged, took a sip of coffee, rested her chin on her hand, and looked at her best friend, saying, "Would you believe me if I told you I didn't even know the last name of the person I was getting married to before we registered?"

Su Xue: "..." This person is crazy, he went there without even knowing the person's name!

She really didn't know. Recalling the past few days when her grandfather had been on a hunger strike to force her to get a marriage certificate with this stranger, given Tang Junyao's personality, how could she agree? Her grandfather had been on a hunger strike for several days to show his determination: either you get the certificate or I'll starve to death and refuse to take my medicine. Helplessly, Tang Junyao couldn't outlast her grandfather and softened her heart to agree to this absurd thing, without even knowing the other person's name.

Her grandfather hadn't given her any specific analysis of the other person's family background, so how was she supposed to know?

She only found out her husband's name on the marriage certificate after they got it.

Seeing her best friend's bewildered expression, Su Xue knew the answer: "Judging from your expression, I have no choice but to believe you. So, are you going to... have the wedding?"

Su Xue was still reeling from the sudden news that the dignified Mr. Ji from the capital had gotten his marriage certificate, and the bride was none other than Xiao Qiang's best friend, who was completely oblivious to the world.

She felt she needed to process this bombshell.

Tang Junyao continued to rest her chin on her hand, sipping her coffee, and glared at her best friend: "What are you thinking? You said he's from such a high-status family, do you think he'd fall for me on the very first day we got our marriage certificate? That man warned me to keep our marriage a secret, not to tell anyone, or I'd face the consequences. You better shut your mouth! If you want to die, don't drag me down with you. And whether he's a human or a god, don't tell your brother!"

"I originally planned to stay married and not get divorced, intending to be a good wife and let things develop gradually. But after what you said, I feel like I'm not far from divorce." She sounded a little disheartened.

She's not some love-struck idiot; she knows her own worth perfectly well and doesn't believe such a big shot would fall in love with her. She'll take it one step at a time and wait until he actually asks for a divorce.

What if the other person is blind? Although the possibility is slim, anything is possible...

Su Xue couldn't understand why Ji Hancheng, with his qualifications, would suddenly and without warning marry her best friend.

She remembered that Ji Shao had ex-girlfriends. Wasn't everyone in the industry saying that he hadn't gotten married all these years because he was waiting for his "white moonlight" to come back? So what's the situation now?

Is it just a rumor spreading?

"Didn't Grandpa Tang tell you why he wanted you to marry into the Ji family, and why the Ji family was so willing to marry you so easily?" It wasn't that she looked down on Tang Junyao, but it was indeed a matter that was hard to understand. Although Yaoyao's family was not bad, it was still far inferior to the Ji family. In addition, Yaoyao's status in the Tang family was of no help to Young Master Ji.

There might be a lot of cleanup involved, considering that scumbag father...

"The question you asked is also what I want to know. I'll ask Grandpa when I get home from get off work. But it seems like that Ji guy was forced into it too. His grandpa came with him, and you can tell he didn't want to at all." Tang Junyao recalled the scene of getting their marriage certificate today.

The man was clearly unwilling; so many bodyguards were standing in the Civil Affairs Bureau, and he had to be urged by Grandpa Ji to produce his identification.

Su Xue: "...Ji...Han...Cheng." She couldn't bear to remind her of her husband's name, word by word.

So, Ji Shao was forced to marry his best friend. This gossip seems to have gotten a bit bloated, and the important thing is that he can't get rid of it, so he's feeling a bit uncomfortable.

Tang Junyao picked up her phone and glanced at the time. She'd already been slacking off for half an hour. If the director caught her, she'd get a scolding—a minor issue being a pay deduction, but a major one. She waved Su Xue away, saying, "Get out of here! I'm going to work. Don't you have a C-section this afternoon?"

"All done, that's all for now. I did three today, it really exhausted me. Okay, you're busy now. Remember, whatever you do, don't mess with that guy. Remember, remember, remember! I'm saying it three times because it's important. Value your life, or even with my abilities, I can't save you." Just thinking about that guy made Su Xue shudder; she felt a chill.

"Okay, get lost." After saying that, she made a zipping motion, signaling her to keep it a secret.

Su Xue gave an OK sign, closed the door, and left, leaving Tang Junyao alone to process her best friend's words.

She quietly slipped the marriage certificate into her pocket. She didn't have the habit of carrying a bag, finding it cumbersome. Pockets were fine; they were convenient, allowing her to carry as many as she wanted.

According to Su Xue, the other party's identity was too high-profile and even a bit scary. She would have to confirm it with her grandfather that night, just in case it was someone with the same name.
