Special Agent Rebirth: The Omnipotent Goddess of Quick Transmigration novel Chapter 150

Chapter 150: 149 Best Substitute (11) - One more update

Ye Shaohua bent her head to pick up the photographs scattered on the ground—these were the very images that had been printed from the forum, where her face was clearly recognizable.

Even when kneeling, she held her back as straight as a rod.

"Mom, I don’t care about those outsiders who don’t know me, who misunderstand and distrust me," Ye Shaohua said, holding the pictures, giving her mother a serious look, "but you’re my mom. Have you ever asked me if I really did those things?"

In the original storyline, the straw that broke the camel’s back for the real Ye Shaohua was actually the last phone call from her mother.

If even the people closest to you don’t believe in you, it’s hard not to crumble.

"I swear, every penny I’ve spent has been earned honestly and with dignity."

Seeing her like this, Ye Shaohua’s mother reached out to steady her shoulders and knelt beside her, tears streaming down her face, "Mom is just afraid you’re taking the wrong path. Some mistakes, once made, can never be undone; do you understand...?"

This was the first time Ji Yunchen had observed Ye Shaohua in broad daylight. Standing outside the partially-closed door of the ward, he peered through the gap and saw her kneeling in front of her mother.

The first thing he noticed were her clear, distinct eyes. Her upper body was dressed in a slightly oversized white shirt—though not new, it was clean and well-kept—paired with a simple pair of jeans.

There is a kind of pride ingrained in some people’s bones that can’t be hidden—Ye Shaohua was one of those people.

Even while kneeling, she remained cool and composed.

After considering Ye Shaohua’s mother’s reaction, Ji Yunchen did not push the door open, nor did he disturb the two. After seeing that the mother seemed to believe in Ye Shaohua, he quietly closed the door and waited outside the hospital’s main entrance.

"President Ji?" Assistant Ji turned in surprise at Ji Yunchen’s return and asked.

Ji Yunchen leaned against the car hood, silently lighting a cigarette.

The Assistant stood silently to one side and after some time, he caught sight of a familiar figure emerging from the hospital doors. His spirits lifted, and just as he was about to inform his boss, Ji was quick to react; he extinguished the cigarette with his eyes, then sat down in the back seat and slammed the car door shut with a "bang".

Ye Shaohua had been aware of the car at the hospital entrance since she came out—the vehicle had been tailing her quite discreetly, virtually undetectable by most people.

But not to Ye Shaohua.

When she got off the bus at the school gate, she did not head straight through the school entrance as the car owner might have predicted, but stood still and hailed the black vehicle. Assistant Ji’s face registered shock as she frowned, "Assistant Ji, do you need something?"

This was the first time Assistant Ji’s tailing had been discovered; he felt embarrassed for a moment before looking at Ye Shaohua with some amazement.

"No, it’s nothing, I just saw Miss Ye on the road and wondered if you might be interested... "

"Not interested," Ye Shaohua waved her hand, "let’s go."

Assistant Ji boldy glanced at the rearview mirror. In the mirror, the cigarette in Ji Yunchen’s hand was nearly burning his fingers.

Ye Shaohua paused at the side gate, watching the black car drive away before she turned and headed back to her dormitory.

On the way, she received a call from a company’s human resources department.

"Miss Ye, Yongteng has already passed you through the trial, when would you be available for an interview?" asked the voice on the phone.

"Yongteng?" Ye Shaohua narrowed her eyes slightly. The original body seemed to have cast a wide net, sending out her information everywhere. Yongteng Company was a few months back—wouldn’t they have gotten back to her by now?

On the other hand, after speaking with Ye Shaohua’s mother, Zhao Yijun didn’t return to her own apartment but instead went back to the Zhao family home.

The Zhao family’s business was mediocre—not bad but certainly not outstanding, especially when compared to the Yongteng Group.

Upon seeing Zhao Yijun’s return, her parents were overjoyed. "Daughter, you’re back. How was your day, how did you get along with Yizhou?" they asked eagerly.

At that question, Zhao Yijun didn’t respond, her expression looking rather troubled.

"What’s wrong?" Both parents noticed Zhao Yijun’s discomfiture.
