Special Agent Rebirth: The Omnipotent Goddess of Quick Transmigration novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178: Scamp of 177 Cities (18) One More

"Let’s not mention this matter again," Fu Jinyun said indifferently as he stood up, "I won’t marry anyone, and you’ve already had a verbal agreement with the Ye Family’s second daughter. It’s not good to break off the engagement at this time, is it?"

The head of the Fu Family and his parents were also at a loss.

The situation was absurd when the two, who usually stayed out of each other’s way, unexpectedly quarreled over someone from the Ye Family today.

"Let’s stick to the original decision," the head of the Fu Family finally declared with finality, "But we still need to see how the Ye Family reacts."

He glanced at Fu Jinyun and sighed.

This matter was beyond the decision of him and Mother Fu; taking sides would be wrong whether it be their biological son or the one not born to them but who was like their own.

Vocally, it seemed as though he was awaiting the Ye Family’s stance, but in the end, he was still biased towards Fu Weifeng.

After all, no one in their right mind would willingly marry a dying person.

Shaohua and Ye Min left the Ye Family’s house early in the morning, heading to Imperial City today.

"Master Ye," Ning Zhou was extremely excited upon seeing Shaohua, though a bit confused, "Huh, didn’t Fu Heng say you were coming back with Master Fu?"

"The man’s a master, do you think he has as much free time as you?" Ye Min patted Ning Zhou’s shoulder.

Ning Zhou got the point, but still retorted, "What do you mean as free as I am? I was sent to manage my dad’s branch in Imperial City."

While the three went to the restaurant for a meal, Ning Zhou received a phone call.

Ning Zhou frowned upon hearing whatever was said on the other end, "Master Ye, it seems my cousin has run into some trouble, I should go have a look."

Shaohua nodded. She had wanted to accompany Ning Zhou, but she unexpectedly received a call from Uncle Ye.

Uncle Ye’s call to Shaohua was clearly about the Fu Family’s matter.

When the head of the Fu Family conveyed Fu Weifeng’s intentions to the Ye Family indirectly, the second daughter of the Ye Family dropped her teacup to the floor.

The earlier arrangements to have Shaohua marry Fu Jinyun—since he was a dying man, the Ye Family certainly wouldn’t send their daughter into such a predicament—had been prepared.

Yet today, as soon as the call from the Fu Family came, the head of the Ye Family changed his tune.

Although the Ye Family’s second daughter was resentful inside, she didn’t say anything, knowing what was best for the Ye Family.

Shaohua’s gaze was heavy. She had already found some clues in the Ye Family these past few days. The only thing she hadn’t anticipated was the matter concerning Fu Jinyun.

"Do you even know what you’re doing?" The head of the Ye Family was frustrated, he knew Shaohua’s talent and also that such a person would not be easily controlled.

But could she not make sense of even such a simple matter as the Fu Family? Fu Jinyun had been viewed as a dying person since childhood. Apart from his exceptional talent, where could he possibly compare to Fu Weifeng?

After all, the Fu Family would eventually belong to Fu Weifeng, what did Fu Jinyun have to do with it?

Maybe it was because she grew up outside these years. If she had grown up in the Ye Family, how could she miss such a critical point?

Seeing Shaohua not heeding his advice and her figure disappearing from sight, the head of the Ye Family’s temper finally flared. He was so angry that he sat down with chest pain: "Really doesn’t know what’s good for her!"

"Patriarch, don’t be angry," the Ye Family’s second daughter comforted, "She’ll come to her senses in a few days."

The head of the Ye Family’s face was somber, and he did not engage with the second daughter’s reassurance.

He had originally planned to have Shaohua and her elder brother take charge of the Ye Family together. But now, it seemed better to forget it.

Everything he had just said was for the sake of Shaohua’s future, to guide her back on the right path, to clarify the Fu Family’s network of relationships for her. But she didn’t even show any appreciation and ran off faster than a rabbit, thinking he was trying to harm her.

The head of the Ye Family did not contact her again; with her attitude, it was only a matter of time before she faced hardship. When that happened, she could come crying to him.
