Chapter 923: 913 Tarot (7) Chapter Two

Upon hearing it was top-secret, even Ye Shaohua’s father paused for a moment, looking at Xue Jinxin in astonishment, "Secret?"

Nobody wanted to give up riches and honor that could be theirs for the taking, especially Xue Jinxin.

It was clear that she was the Ye Family’s daughter, she was the one who was supposed to enjoy such a wealthy lifestyle, so why did it become Ye Shaohua?

Still, Ye Jinnian and Ye Shaohua’s mother from the Ye Family showed her the concern they had anticipated; Ye Jinnian knew her from the time she worked at a restaurant, and since then she had known her own identity and had been working her way up.

What she hadn’t expected was that the two most difficult people to deal with in the Ye Family were Grandfather Ye and Ye Shaohua’s father.

Thus, seeing Ye Shaohua’s father finally taking an interest in her, she felt a bit of excitement in her heart, though it didn’t show on her face.

"That’s right, it’s said to be a challenge issued by the only eight-star Card Master to all of humanity, and there are other things I shouldn’t say too much about." On one hand, Xue Jinxin didn’t know the specifics, and on the other, those secrets really couldn’t be revealed; she had only overheard bits of it from people around Master Ai Li.

Those people never spoke of it in front of her.

However, just these things were enough for Xue Jinxin to have something to say to the Ye Family members.

Xue Jinxin perked up and spoke confidently to Ye Shaohua’s father; to become a part of the Ye Family, she had learned a bit about them. She wanted to fit in completely, yet show she didn’t care about any of it.

As several people chatted, Ye Shaohua sat silently on the side and did not join their conversation.

Ye Shaohua’s father, however, gradually picked up on the holes in Xue Jinxin’s words and fell silent, sitting to the side drinking tea without engaging in the conversation.

"Shaohua, come over and let Jinxin give you a reading," Ye Shaohua’s mother beckoned her over.

Ye Shaohua, without being pretentious, directly sat opposite Xue Jinxin, her dark eyes fixated on her.

"Draw a card," Xue Jinxin completed all the annoying preparations and then, with sincere reverence, set up the spread and whispered to Ye Shaohua.

Although Xue Jinxin was talented, her skills were mostly theoretical and predicting a person’s fortune was already challenging, especially now that she found the fate she calculated for Ye Shaohua today was not the same as it had been two days ago.

Not only was it not the same path, but it was also completely opposite.

This made Xue Jinxin start to doubt her abilities; how could she possibly calculate two different fates for the same person?

Ye Shaohua’s mother, standing beside her, asked for the results, but Xue Jinxin, now uncertain, did not speak and shook her head with a gloomy face, "It’s strange, I need to discuss this with my teacher."

This outcome gave Ye Shaohua’s mother something to ponder, while Ye Shaohua’s father merely glanced at Xue Jinxin and did not speak.

"Dad, let Jinxin stay over today, it’s so late already? Should we hold a banquet in a few days?" Ye Jinnian hadn’t thought that much; he was just concerned about Xue Jinxin’s living arrangements.

"I’ve discussed this point with your grandfather. The Ye Family and the Xue Family will become sworn kin," stated Ye Shaohua’s father, having thought for a long time this was the best solution he could come up with.

Actually, Ye Shaohua’s father understood very well that obligations of upbringing are greater than those of birth.

He had already looked into the baby-switching incident from over twenty years ago, and he didn’t believe any of the rumors online suggesting that Xue Jinxin’s mother had intentionally swapped the children.

Upon hearing this statement, Xue Jinxin’s body stiffened noticeably, something she had never anticipated.

She was so outstanding, a disciple of Master Ai Li, privy to those high-level secrets, presenting herself so perfectly, why... why become sworn kin?

"Dad!" Ye Jinnian burst out, "Jinxin is your daughter, do you have any idea what kind of life she’s living now? Her brother only knows how to play games, asks her for money while doing bit parts in the drama crew, now an eighteenth-tier failed star, how can you let her live like this?!"

"I will discuss this matter with Mr. Xue and his family," Ye Shaohua’s father stood up right away.

Ye Jinnian still wanted to say something, but Xue Jinxin stood up with a cold expression, "Uncle Ye, Auntie, if that’s all, I’ll take my leave now."

As her gaze swept past Ye Shaohua, Xue Jinxin’s fingers clenched tightly.

She had not missed Ye Shaohua’s sports car, the designer clothes, the luxury bags – the price tag on any one item could match a month of her salary when she was working.

Xue Jinxin couldn’t understand; clearly, she was the most victimized one, so why did Grandfather Ye and Ye Shaohua’s father still treat her this way?

"Arrange it for tomorrow, you’ll start working at the Ye Corporation," Ye Shaohua’s father spoke up, "as a Department Manager no less."

Upon hearing Ye Shaohua’s father’s words, Xue Jinxin found herself unable to move.

What Ye Shaohua’s father said seemed incredibly tempting.

"Of course, if you disagree, I will give you a lump sum of money," Ye Shaohua’s father was very clear in his statement – there would be no shares for her.

Ye Shaohua’s father was known for his word; in the Ye Family, he held absolute authority as a referee.

Xue Jinxin had done her homework on the Ye Family, naturally knowing this.

She understood more clearly that if she didn’t agree, she might indeed end up with only a sum of money and nothing else, which was not what Xue Jinxin wanted.

In the end, she could only step down, "...Okay, thank you, Uncle Ye."

"Dad, I plan to resign tomorrow..." Ye Shaohua also spoke up.

However, she was abruptly interrupted by Ye Shaohua’s father, "What are you joining in the fuss for? Resign? What can you do besides eating, drinking, and having fun? If you resign, what are you going to live on? You can’t even afford your sports car! Let me tell you, you can forget about getting any pocket money from me besides your salary!"

"I still have money in my card..." Ye Shaohua was taken aback.

"How many days can that money of yours last?" Ye Shaohua’s father knew her too well, "Done talking, go upstairs and don’t make a fuss."

Having never felt her father’s concern before, surprisingly it made Ye Shaohua find him somewhat more endearing, even compared to the distant Xue Jinxin’s parents.

She found it hard to refuse others’ care and eventually just muttered a low "Okay."

"Aren’t you going upstairs yet?"

Ye Shaohua immediately scurried upstairs.

Watching their familiar interaction, Xue Jinxin’s hand gripped her palm fiercely.

Was Ye Shaohua challenging her?

Was she trying to flaunt her status in the Ye Family?

Everything was rightfully hers; how could this person be so shameless?
