Chapter 946: 936 Tarot (29) Chapter One

"So, my grandniece is also versed in Tarot cards. I said with so many books purchased, they couldn’t all be for nothing," Uncle Ye reacted first, immediately adding, "You all can rest assured about this matter—I’ll make sure everything is arranged perfectly."

The others quickly echoed in agreement.

At present, the Ye Family’s cooperative project was ostensibly under the charge of Mei Jiamin, with Ye Shaohua not even holding an appropriate position—everyone simply referred to her as the Young Lady.

But who among the Ye Family didn’t know that the mastermind behind the project was Ye Shaohua?

Those meticulously crafted plans, a series of complex data—it could be said that the future of the Ye Family was in her hands; even if Xue Jinxin was a four-star master, she couldn’t compete with even a finger of Shaohua’s capabilities.

Not to mention, Shaohua was also the vice president of the Association.

This position was not merely that of an ordinary member—the president of the Flower Country Tarot Association, equates to Flower Country’s face on the international stage.

An eight-star Tarot Master, this carried more weight than a hundred CEOs of the Ye Family.

Anyone with sense knew what this status of Shaohua’s meant for her and what it meant for the Ye Family—if the younger generation of the Ye Family had been feeling quite resentful about her current standing within the family.

Now, those feelings had vanished.

The Ye Family elders referring to Shaohua as "grandniece" was a clear indication.

They only acknowledged Shaohua as one of the Ye Family’s own, and they no longer cared if this would offend Xue Jinxin.

Xue Jinxin stood on the sidelines, her face pale, with Ye’s mother and Ye Jinnian by her side, completely at a loss for words.

Ye An had tried to speak with Xue Jinxin but was immediately pulled aside by Uncle Ye.

"My grandniece, I will discipline my daughter when we get back. Don’t take to heart whatever she said," Uncle Ye cautiously joked, inwardly sweating profusely.

"The master is here, and a guest from the Shen Family has arrived," the Butler announced from the doorway at that moment.

A leisurely figure followed close behind him.

"Shen Third Young Master?" Most of the young people in the hall did not recognize him, but Ye’s father did and immediately rose to greet him.

The old patriarch also hurried over upon hearing it was Shen Jiyun.

Undoubtedly, the Shen Family was the powerhouse of Imperial City, involved in military, politics, and business. The president of the Tarot Association was from the Shen Family, not to mention Master Ai Li.

Previously, they had been hoping the Ye Family could establish ties with the Shen Family, so Shen Jiyun’s sudden visit came as a surprise.

However, when Shen Jiyun just smiled at them and went to find Ye Shaohua, they had a rough idea of his purpose.

Old Master Ye watched Shen Jiyun without speaking.

What he didn’t mention was that Shaohua was not just an eight-star master but a nine-star master, it’s just that the international community had not yet recognized a nine-star master.

The Association, fearing trouble and for Shaohua’s personal safety, had kept this a secret.

But with Shaohua able to associate with Shen Jiyun, there were likely few people internationally who would dare to provoke her.

From the start to the end of the gathering, Ye’s mother had not come to terms with the situation.

Various in-laws kept trying to cozy up to her for information, but she gave no response. How could she? She had long since distanced herself from Shaohua, who she now realized she hardly knew anymore, remembering only the rebellious and somewhat lazy child.

Ye’s mother felt an agonizing conflict within herself but had no face to approach Shaohua and explain, merely consoling Xue Jinxin not to lose heart.

By the time the banquet concluded, she had not spoken a single word to Shaohua.

Seeing other cousins approach Shaohua for a chat, Ye Jinnian wanted to join them but felt too ashamed to face her.

"Jinnian, did you hear that? Shaohua praised my talent, saying that I should go study with Master Ai Li. I always thought she was cold and didn’t dare to speak to her, but who knew she would be so kind?" a cousin gushed after receiving Shaohua’s acknowledgment.

In his hand, he held Master Ai Li’s phone number.

"How easy could it be to become Master Ai Li’s disciple?" Xue Jinxin, green with envy, could only scoff, "She was just speaking off the cuff."

That cousin, who already wasn’t fond of Xue Jinxin—who had been dismissive whenever they asked her for advice as if everyone owed her—immediately called Master Ai Li. To his delight, the Master quickly picked up and agreed to accept him as a disciple.

"I knew Shaohua wouldn’t deceive anyone!" he cried tears of joy.

Sharing the news with his parents, they too were thrilled, hugging each other and then making a point to thank Shaohua.

Xue Jinxin’s face darkened even more.

At her side, Ye Jinnian was heartbroken seeing others engaging freely with Shaohua and holding Master Ai Li’s phone number, regretting so deeply it felt like his guts were knotted.

Fingers clenched tightly, yet he could not bring himself to step forward and speak to Shaohua.

Two days later, relatives from Ye’s mother’s side came looking for her, "Why didn’t you ask Shaohua to help us out?"

Ye’s mother was taken aback, "Help with what?"

"Help what? Her biological father was cured of a terminal illness and now works at the Tarot Association, boasting good health that rivals young people’s, all thanks to Shaohua’s Tarot blessing," her relatives urged in desperation, "And her mother, just a worker on a Construction Site before, now has such great skin. Her brother’s career has exploded too, even more popular than the Best Actor—all because of Shaohua. The Ye Family has raised her, after all. What has she done to help you out?"

Ye’s mother was speechless.

Indeed, Shaohua had helped the Ye Family, which was now among the hottest consortia in Flower Country. Thanks to Shaohua’s influence, Investors rolled in incessantly, and within half a year, the market value was set to increase tenfold.

But... she hadn’t spoken to Shaohua in a long time.

Would Shaohua still help her?

If Ye’s mother felt any regret then, it paled in comparison to what she felt a few days later during a family dinner when she saw Xue’s mother’s face, which appeared even younger than hers; that’s when true regret sank in.

However, when she now reached out to Shaohua, Shaohua had Mei Jiamin communicate with her instead.
