Chapter 903: 658 Flying Over Thousands of Waters and Mountains (Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

"Auntie,"

Everything has two sides to it.

Let’s not talk about a united front, but the expiration of the gambling chips certainly led to more frequent visits among the members of the He family, this flourishing and expansive clan.

Facing the "rare guest" who had come to visit, the second wife greeted with a smiling face.

It was certain the visitor wasn’t there to keep her company.

"Are you here for your sister?"

He Yihui nodded her head.

"She’s in the study reading."

In the two days following the first auction, He Junru, as one of the outstanding youths of the He family, seemed unaffected by the lost bid at the auction. Far from running around tirelessly, she had instead stayed at home and become a homebody.

"Go on up."

The second wife’s smile was kind as she instructed the nanny to show He Yihui the way.

They passed by each other.

The second wife turned back, watching that tall, slim figure.

This girl was indeed beautiful, but at best, she was just a "vase," that’s all.

—Man proposes, God disposes, sigh.

Could it really be true what they say?

That being beautiful is also a skill?

"Knock knock knock... Miss, Miss Yi Hui has arrived."

"Come in."

The nanny opened the door.

He Yihui walked in.

He Junru was indeed reading, at this complicated and unpredictable time, she still had the leisure and tranquility to read.

The nanny closed the door and left.

He Junru looked up from her book, lifting the book in her hand, "I still have to find time to read more. Big brother gave this to me. I’ve only read a little, and I’m already finding it very enlightening."

Obviously.

The book she held was none other than "A General History of Shenzhou."

"I didn’t know beforehand."

He Junru said with a smile.

He Yihui hadn’t spoken yet, but her sister seemed to have already guessed her purpose.

"I know."

He Yihui was notably calm, not showing any hint of anger, nothing that resembled coming to start a dispute.

"I just wanted to tell my sister something."

He Junru put down the "A General History of Shenzhou" and asked curiously, "What is it?"

"Jiang Chen said he would clarify the situation."

He Yihui was concise and to the point.

Clarify?

This way, there would leave no room for negotiation between the two families.

He Junru showed no change in expression, she pondered for a moment with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

"Did he say that personally?"

"Mm."

He Yihui honestly replied, "He’s very disgruntled about the scandal. He’s already called me, asking me to come forward and quash the rumors."

"You didn’t agree?"

He Junru watched He Yihui as she inquired.

Half-sisters exchanged looks.

"How could I agree?"

He Yihui said calmly.

He Junru chuckled lightly, making light of the issue, "I don’t think he’ll do that."

Not do that?

Not clarify?

That guy’s attitude has been clear from the start to the end.

"Why is my sister so confident?"

"I’m not confident in myself."

He Junru laughed as she explained, "After dad passed away, our He family indeed faced some impact, but in Haojiang, we still carry an irreplaceable weight. Anyone wishing to develop here, not to mention needing our support, at the very least, cannot afford to be our sworn enemy."

He Junru’s reputation was known both inside and outside Haojiang, and although He Yihui was seldom in the public eye, as a relative with the same bloodline, her intellect was hardly inferior.

"Does auntie want to use me to force Jiang Chen into collaborating with us?"

Rescuing a gambling chip was no big deal, this was the He family’s worst and last resort.

Everyone was clear on this.

Without any gambling chips left, a backed-into-a-corner He family would surely overturn the table, and then no one would be able to play.

Therefore, the next gambling chip would inevitably become the key to the contest.

"I don’t think this resembles auntie’s idea."

He Junru shook her head, speaking unhurriedly, "Given auntie’s pride, she wouldn’t stoop to doing something that would demean herself."

He Yihui kept silent, but quickly guessed who else might be the instigator.

If it wasn’t the matriarch auntie, the only one with the resolve and ability to make such a decision was probably the "aloof from worldly affairs" big brother.

"Yi Hui, don’t worry. From what I’ve observed about Jiang Chen, he should still be a gentleman."

What a word, "gentleman."

As a gentleman, he would presumably not do anything to make a woman feel embarrassed.

But for someone who even remembers to claim a debt for a couple dozen yuan worth of alcohol, does he truly deserve the title of "gentleman"?

"What about the Guo family, what do we do?"

He Yihui asked, neither affirming nor denying what was said earlier.

He Junru didn’t reply immediately but instead asked with meaningful curiosity, "The rumors between you and Jiang Chen have been out for a day, has Guo Anle been in touch with you?"

"No."

He Junru smiled, "I suppose that young Master Guo is probably quite troubled right now."

"Guo family did, after all, provide us with desperately needed help in our time of need, won’t the outside world think we’re ungrateful if we do this?"

He Junru chuckled, observing the suddenly big-picture-concerned sister.

"If you really cared about those things, why did you act so impulsively back then?"

Impulsive.

The word was indeed aptly used.

He Yihui was silent.

"Alright, since we haven’t received any notice, it means we needn’t worry about it. Someone will handle it properly."

This reiterated what He Junru had previously stated, the raging scandal indeed had nothing to do with her.

As this pivotal figure of the younger generation of the He family said, apart from the two parties involved—and perhaps even excluding He Yihui, the female protagonist—the person most affected by this scandal that shook the entire region was none other than Guo Anle, the scion from a distinguished family.
