Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1785 True Love Substitute 20
After all, Linlang had earned such a fortune, and she didn't want it to fall into the hands of her parents' siblings, with whom she had only a very ordinary relationship.

—It's normal that the original owner's parents had siblings. After all, even though this is a novel world and the original owner was a cannon fodder female supporting character, even a cannon fodder female supporting character would have family.

The original owner came from a rather feudal family that valued having many children and thus had a lot of siblings, cousins, and other relatives. Her parents doted on her and only had her as their only child.

Having many children diminishes their value, and because resources are scarce, siblings inevitably compete to please their parents from a young age to grab those resources. As a result, how much genuine sibling affection remains? Neither Mr. Li nor Mrs. Li had much affection for their siblings.

After Linlang became wealthy, these relatives started to fawn over her, trying to leech off her. Linlang ignored them, which displeased them, and they joined the online trolls in attacking her.

In this situation, if she didn't have children, and this vast fortune fell into the hands of these people, not only would she be upset, but her original parents would probably be upset too.

Hearing her say this, Ye Jiu'an was not disappointed at all; instead, hope rose within him. He immediately said, "If that's your plan, could you consider me? I think I'm quite outstanding among my peers. If you marry me, the children we have will definitely be outstanding. Isn't that better than you having children as a single woman and getting sperm from a sperm bank? Who knows if sperm from a sperm bank is any good? I also happen to have needs for you. Although my insomnia symptoms are almost gone now, what if they relapse in the future? If I marry you, you can help me eliminate this potential problem at any time. We can say it's a win-win situation."

Linlang was taken aback when she heard Ye Jiu'an's suspected marriage proposal, but she immediately shook her head and said, "What you said makes sense, but you are not suitable. Your family has too many people, and I don't want to deal with such complicated interpersonal relationships."

Seeing that Linlang clearly disliked his large family and didn't want to marry him, Ye Jiu'an immediately advised, "Why don't you give it a try first? If it really doesn't work out, you can always get a divorce. Besides, with me taking care of things, you don't need to deal with anything. We usually live here, so we don't need to interact with those people."

Linlang couldn't help but laugh when she heard Ye Jiu'an's words. She said, "Mr. Ye is a bit beyond my expectations. With such a large and powerful family, you can marry me whenever you want and divorce me whenever you want. Aren't you afraid of causing property disputes and affecting the Ye family?"

Ye Jiu'an said, "To say that I trust your character and know that you won't take advantage of me would be a bit out of line with my cautious nature as a businessman. But I really want to marry Miss Li. If Miss Li is worried about property disputes after marriage, we can have a prenuptial agreement. That way, you won't have to worry about me taking your property, and I won't have to worry about you taking my property. We can be together in peace without being suspicious of each other."

Ye Jiu'an spoke very sincerely, even considering these points, so Li Linlang couldn't help but seriously consider his proposal.

To be honest, her parents were also urging her to find a proper partner and get married. This was because she had caused such a stir online, and the elderly couple couldn't stand her antics and the inquiring looks from relatives and friends, so they called her to bring it up.

If she gets married honestly, her original parents will probably feel more at ease.

So Linlang immediately said, "Let me think about it."

Ye Jiu'an was delighted to see that he was about to persuade Linlang, and immediately said, "Take your time to think it over, I'm not in a hurry."

No way! He was in a real hurry, afraid that Linlang wouldn't agree. He couldn't force her to stay by illegal means, and he couldn't keep her by legal means either. He was probably going to be anxious to death.

However, on the surface, he remained calm and composed, afraid that if Linlang knew he was in a hurry, it would frighten her and make her even less likely to marry him. Fortunately, Linlang didn't take too long to consider it or keep him in suspense, so two days later, Linlang agreed to Ye Jiu'an's proposal.

However, she made a three-point agreement with him: if Ye Jiu'an ever liked someone, she should tell him directly, and she would divorce him and not make things difficult for him. She also told him not to have an affair, because she had emotional purity issues and didn't want to share her husband with other women.

Ye Jiu'an naturally agreed to this request, after all, this is the most basic bottom line between husband and wife, and no one likes someone who cheats.

He naturally had similar requirements for Linlang.

Linlang didn't explain her relationship with Jiang Ming and the others to Ye Jiu'an. Firstly, it was all fake, and secondly, even if it were true, it was something that happened before their marriage, so there was no need to tell Ye Jiu'an. After all, Ye Jiu'an knew about the comments online, but still married her, so he definitely didn't mind her past.

In fact, Ye Jiu'an didn't mind at all. After the two got together, he was surprised to find out that Linlang was a virgin. He said that he had thought that Linlang's previous relationship with Jiang Ming and others was real.

See, Ye Jiu'an believed that Linlang was really with Jiang Ming and the others, but he still married her, which clearly shows that he didn't mind Linlang's situation before marriage.

That's quite normal. After all, Ye Jiu'an married Linlang mainly to prevent insomnia. Even if he cares, he can't care unless he doesn't need Linlang to help him prevent insomnia. What good would it do to care? Would he not marry Linlang? No way.

Since arguing was pointless, Ye Jiu'an easily figured it out: for the sake of sleep, she didn't want to think about the rumors Linlang had spread before their marriage.

Of course, seeing Linlang for the first time now makes me even happier.

Although he could only choose Linlang, he didn't care about her past. But if she didn't have a past, that would be even better, since he himself didn't have a past either, and he wanted a girl who also didn't have a past.

Upon hearing Ye Jiu'an's surprised words, Linlang immediately took the opportunity to explain what had happened when she had acted as Jian Rong's stand-in.

"...So it's all fake. I'm just Jian Rong's stand-in. They all like Jian Rong, so why would they be with me?" Linlang confessed.

When Ye Jiu'an heard Linlang recount these past events, he couldn't help but frown and say, "This Jian Rong is truly remarkable. She can make so many second-generation rich kids like her. Speaking of which, she once expressed her feelings for me, but I refused. I'm glad I refused. This girl is a bit strange. I'm afraid that if I hadn't refused, I might have become like those second-generation rich kids and started liking her too. That would be bad."

He didn't want a woman who fell in love with every man she met—this was also the reason why Jian Rong's attempt to win Ye Jiu'an over failed. Ye Jiu'an's idea was very firm, so how could Jian Rong, who had countless backup options, make Ye Jiu'an fall in love with her?

She was about to get married, yet she still tried to seduce Ye Jiu'an. Ye Jiu'an must have been crazy to be with her.
