Special Agent Rebirth: The Omnipotent Goddess of Quick Transmigration novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157: Chapter 156: Best Substitute (18) - Fourth Update

Butler Zhao’s hand trembled, knocking over the teacup beside him.

The scalding tea wet the pages of the newspaper, but he didn’t seem to feel the burn as he brushed the tea aside, then put on his reading glasses to read every word on the paper without missing a single one.

Then he had someone bring out a computer to search, though there was no need for searching, as the homepage of Baidu was dominated by a huge banner about Ye Shaohua.

This was the first time Butler Zhao had seen Ye Shaohua; in the photo, she faced the camera, her calm face devoid of any arrogance.

In the face of such glory, she remained as composed as ever.

Even without this incident, Butler Zhao had reason to believe that her future achievements would be significant.

The page also contained other news items, and since Butler Zhao had followed financial news in his youth, he noticed one piece about the former "Stock God" of M Country, who had long since retired, coming out of retirement because of Ye Shaohua and was even coming to Imperial City to find her personally.

"Old, old master," the butler, startled for quite some time, finally snapped back to reality, "This is..."

It took a long while for Butler Zhao to come back to his senses and only now did he realize what sort of existence Ye Shaohua, who in his eyes was the most unworthy member of the Zhao family, truly was.

He was much clearer than the average onlooker about how influential Ye Shaohua had become.

Thinking of this, he grew even more eager; if Ye Shaohua were to take over the Zhao family, with her influence in the financial world and her capabilities, restoring the Zhao family to its former glory would be effortless, and they might even be able to go international.

Thinking of what he had previously said to Ye’s mother, Butler Zhao regretted it so much that it hurt.

"Good, good!" he said, looking at the newspaper, his eyes brimming with tears, "Indeed, she is Yan’er’s daughter, a chip off the old block! Come, let’s go to the hospital!"

At the hospital, Ye Shaohua had originally wanted to gradually let Ye’s mother learn about her capabilities so as not to frighten her.

But last night, in order to convince Ye’s mother, she ended up revealing everything.

And now that there was nothing left to hide, Ye Shaohua had someone transfer Ye’s mother to a private room.

At this moment, Ye’s mother was on the phone with her sister, "Sister, why did you send money again? Isn’t your daughter getting married to someone from the city?"

"Yes, someone from Imperial City. I’ll have her visit you in a few days," her sister replied, wiping away tears, careful not to let her sister hear her choked up voice, "Dongxiang, don’t be too hard on yourself in the hospital..."

"Later, have your daughter send me her address. Shaohua mentioned just yesterday that she wants to visit her," Ye’s mother knew too well the hardships a rural woman might face marrying into a city family. To avoid alarming her sister, she avoided mentioning Ye Shaohua’s circumstances. "I just had Shaohua send you two hundred thousand. Don’t worry; it’s all earned by Shaohua. She’s doing quite well now. You can buy a newspaper; it even has Shaohua’s photo on it..."

Ye’s mother had not finished her call when the door to the ward was pushed open, and her expression changed slightly as she looked up.
