Special Agent Rebirth: The Omnipotent Goddess of Quick Transmigration-Chapter 1104 - 1090 Reality World [55] Protective (New Year Event)
Chapter 1104: 1090 Reality World [55] Protective (New Year Event)
Lady Chen glanced at the servants around her.
Su Lan waved her hand to dismiss them.
When they were alone, Lady Chen spoke apologetically, "Mrs. Ye, before Mrs. Su wanted to matchmake our Xumin with Shaohua, and I also liked Shaohua. But... as you know, our Xumin has a favorite little star at the company. Shaohua has a difficult temper, and she would definitely make a fuss if she knew about this. However, Tongtong is understanding and reasonable; if it were her instead, she surely wouldn’t react that way. This matter, I suppose, is just our Xumin’s lack of fortune."
Lady Chen verbally expressed her regret.
Not a word was said demeaning Ye Shaohua.
Yet the implication of her words was clear to both of them, and Lady Chen even extended an olive branch to Ye Tong.
She was dissatisfied with Ye Shaohua but quite pleased with Ye Tong.
The Chen Family, now wary of offending the increasingly influential Ye Family, yet fearing the Ye Family would think the Chen Family was disparaging Ye Shaohua, had Lady Chen come personally.
"I know, Lady Chen. You needn’t worry either. I’m all too aware of what my second daughter is like," Su Lan wasn’t bothered by Lady Chen’s disdain. After feeling aggrieved earlier, she couldn’t help but voice her woes upon seeing Lady Chen, "Even without your saying so, I wouldn’t let her be a scourge to your Chen Family."
Lady Chen had expected Su Lan to be somewhat upset.
She had even prepared a jade bracelet as a gift for Su Lan.
Listening to Su Lan’s words, laced with resentment, she finally understood Ye Shaohua’s position in the Ye Family.
It appeared that Shaohua was even less favored in the Ye Family than she had thought, and both she and Mr. Chen had felt somewhat pity for Shaohua’s status.
But hearing Su Lan’s words, Lady Chen’s trace of pity vanished completely.
If Su Lan could overtly show her disdain for Ye Shaohua in front of an outsider, then Ye Li and Ye Feng, the two in control of the Ye Family, likely had no affection for Shaohua either.
Such a Ye Shaohua being married into the Chen Family, wouldn’t she just be for show?
"It’s good that you understand, Madam," Lady Chen said to a despondent Su Lan in a low voice, "Our Xumin might not compare to Ye Li, but he’s still a fine young man, having spent a year abroad for his studies. His grandfather is also the president of the Calligraphy Association. To bring home someone who is illiterate, even if I agreed, his grandfather would have his say. Shaohua, as you know, well..."
Su Lan didn’t even want Ye Shaohua mentioned now.
The more she heard Lady Chen’s words, the darker her expression grew, and she was somewhat angry, though not at Lady Chen but at Ye Shaohua.
After Lady Chen left, the Butler invited Su Lan to the study.
The old master of the Ye Family had been in the study for quite some time.
He had thought long and hard about what Shaohua had said, the more he thought, the more bitter he felt. After Lady Chen’s visit, he had instructed the Butler to listen to the conversation between the two women. After hearing it, he had the Butler summon Su Lan.
"You don’t need to interfere with Shaohua’s marriage affairs. She’s still young; there’s no need to rush," the old master looked at Su Lan for a while before speaking directly, "And that Chen Xumin, he’s not a good match either."
Su Lan had already planned not to concern herself with Ye Shaohua.
Now hearing the old master’s words, she couldn’t help but say, "What’s wrong with Chen Xumin? Isn’t Chen Xumin also a fine young man? Better that, she’s acting all high and mighty. It would be her good fortune if the Chen Family looked favorably upon her!"
"A fine young man? Lady Chen’s gaze just now suggested that you give Tongtong to Chen Xumin, but you didn’t respond," the old master angrily put down his tea cup, "Su Lan, you’ve become sillier over the years. Leave now."
Could Ye Shaohua compare to Tongtong?!
Su Lan nearly shouted out loud. freewebnoveℓ.com
But seeing the old master’s grim face, she dared not speak and simply left the room, closing the door behind her.
Ye Tong appeared from around the corner, "Mom, are you okay? What did Grandpa say?"
"He always protects Ye Shaohua. He immediately canceled the banquet when she said she wouldn’t attend, and now he’s protecting her again, not even letting her go to university," Su Lan said impatiently, "He doesn’t want me handling her affairs, does he think I want to be embarrassed everywhere?"
Su Lan had wanted to quickly marry off Ye Shaohua and stop her from staying in the Ye Family, hurrying to find suitors for her.
She hadn’t expected things to turn out this way.
"After all, my sister is a public figure, and the banquets were too publicly detrimental to her," Ye Tong said, her eyes flashing, "But... maybe Grandpa already has someone in mind?"
"Who could he possibly have in mind?" Su Lan scoffed. "Am I not aware of your grandpa’s connections? Let him drag this out; we’ll see if he can find her a royal relative in the end."
Ye Tong patted Su Lan’s back, trying to calm her anger.
But Su Lan looked grim, seemingly lost in thought.

Charmes.
After returning to Charmes, Butler Mu saw Mu Liu.
"They really said that at the Ye Family?" Butler Mu was already furious today, and upon hearing Mu Liu’s words, even he couldn’t hold back, "And they’re arranging a match for Miss Ye?"
Mu Liu nodded.
Butler Mu waved for her to leave and then stood for several minutes to cool his anger.
Ye Shaohua casually made her way to the Study Room, where Mu Xingzhi was signing the documents for South Island with her handwriting.
The Butler poured him a cup of tea and seemingly unintentionally repeated the events that had transpired at the Su Family today.
"Crack"—
The pen broke.
Mu Xingzhi nonchalantly threw the pen into the trash can, "Check Ye Tong’s itinerary."
"She has a business negotiation tomorrow," the Butler said, well-versed in the Ye Family’s affairs.
Mu Xingzhi did not speak, instead, he wrote something down and handed it to the Butler.
The Butler glanced at it and shuddered, hurriedly stowing it away, "I will instruct them to carry it out immediately."
"Don’t let her find out," Mu Xingzhi said casually, "Such matters need not dirty her ears."
The Butler knew that the "she" Mu Xingzhi referred to was Ye Shaohua.

The next day, Ye Shaohua went to sign a contract with the Rongs.
The official global promotion by Abery caused a huge stir online yesterday; Abery wanted to renew her contract.
Mu Liu accompanied Ye Shaohua.
"Lady, why didn’t you explain clearly to Ye Li and the others yesterday?" Mu Liu couldn’t help but ask.
Ye Shaohua glanced at her, "Explain what? That I never attended elementary school? Isn’t that a fact?"
"But you clearly are..." Mu Liu quickly interjected.
Before she could finish her sentence, Sister Jiang hurried over and interrupted, "Ancestors, when did you sign up?"
"Sign up for what?" Ye Shaohua took off her sunglasses and turned to ask.
"The live streaming platform that Rongs just signed up for, the event this month where streaming for five hours brings popularity to the platform," Sister Jiang watched Ye Shaohua’s reaction, realizing she hadn’t signed up herself.
What was going on then?
Sister Jiang was confused.
Ye Shaohua sat down on a chair, her wide clothing draping over her legs making her look particularly slender, and spoke lazily, "Just call them over for questioning, and we’ll find out."
The person responsible for this matter was the Supervisor from the Rongs, and by now everyone in the Rongs knew fully well that Ye Shaohua was the Rongs’ own daughter; the Supervisor appeared in front of Ye Shaohua within three minutes.
After listening, his expression changed, "Miss Ye, I truly didn’t know about this. Miss Rong’s assistant told me in passing, and I thought you really wanted to participate, I’ll go back and remove your name immediately!"
He was afraid of upsetting Ye Shaohua.
Seeing the Supervisor’s attitude, Sister Jiang felt that strange sensation again. Rong Fei was supposed to be the one related to the Rongs, wasn’t she? Why did everyone at the Rongs act as if they had seen their ancestors when they met Ye Shaohua?
"Miss Rong?" Sister Jiang glanced at Ye Shaohua, and then it dawned on her.
With Abery’s promotional video released, and the spokesperson being Ye Shaohua, the fact that Rong Fei had tried out for the endorsement was no secret; probably some fans had made comments, and Rong Fei lost her temper over it.
Sister Jiang sighed. It seemed that the previous advice she’d conveyed to Rong Fei’s agent had not been appreciated.
"Then I’ll have to trouble you," Sister Jiang said apologetically to the Supervisor.
The Supervisor quickly waved his hands, saying it was no trouble at all.
Suddenly, Ye Shaohua spoke up, "Rong Fei is to stream for five hours for the promotion?"
"Yes," the Supervisor nodded, "Oriental Entertainment has even arranged a special interview for Miss Rong, and we had prepared an interview on Li Zi TV for you as well..."
"Do you know the time slot she’ll be streaming?" she cut off the Supervisor’s incessant chatter.
The Supervisor mentioned a time.
"Today from one to two in the afternoon, there’s an hour, right?" Ye Shaohua rolled up the sleeves of her knit top, picked up her phone to check the time, "Perfect, it’s time."
If Agent 008 were here, they would surely grasp Ye Shaohua’s intent. Not long ago, she had targeted a certain female streamer, monitoring the streamer’s timing and content closely, and mercilessly drove that big-shot streamer to the brink of a breakdown.
Sister Jiang’s eyelids twitched, she whispered, "Ancestors, what are you doing?"
Ye Shaohua downloaded an app.
Hearing this, without even looking up, she replied indifferently, "Just in a bad mood, fooling around."
The matter of live streaming was not a big deal; Rong Fei simply said something that indicated she wanted Ye Shaohua’s participation, intending to annoy her deliberately.
Fine, let’s see if you can handle the game!
