Chapter 98: Mistakenly Held Rich Heiress 097 (21)
“If you want to go back and see Old Master An, I have a way.” In the car, Mo Yunchuan saw Ye Shaohua’s somewhat distracted look and couldn’t help but sigh.
At his words, Ye Shaohua shifted her gaze and took a while to understand what he was talking about.
“No need, he won’t be in danger.” Old Master An had been taking medicine for over a month, and although this shock was a bit much, it wouldn’t affect him too much.
Mo Yunchuan frowned and glanced at her.
Ye Shaohua felt his gaze but didn’t turn her head this time, just looked at the neon lights outside the window.
After a long while, Mo Yunchuan heard her low voice, “…Do people who don’t want their own children really exist in this world?”
Her voice was so light that Mo Yunchuan almost thought it was an illusion, but before he could answer, she closed her eyes, leaving him with a sense of panic.
Although she had always been beyond his predictions, this time the feeling was particularly strong.
The Ye and Xiu families had switched children by mistake, but no one had truly meant to abandon her…
Mo Yunchuan turned his head and looked at her long eyelashes, his lips pursed slightly.
He must have…overthought it.

The An Family had such a crisis, and the Pei Family, their friends of several decades, hurried over.
An Toutou left in a daze following Ye’s mother.
But she hadn’t expected to see Pei Xu’s car at the front door, her eyes brightened, and she walked forward to grab Pei Xu’s hand, “Pei…”
Pei Xu shifted slightly, avoiding her hand, then looked at her with an extremely complicated gaze.
“I am your fiancée, haven’t you forgotten, Pei Xu?” An Toutou’s eyes widened, almost hysterically.
“Old Master An just said that the engagement is cancelled…” Pei Xu walked towards the door, pausing mid-sentence, and glanced sideways, “Besides, this engagement was never meant for you.”
After he spoke, he entered the An Family gate with Madame Pei, leaving An Toutou alone at the door, her expression twisting into something frightful.
“Pei Xu, what do you think of Shaohua?” Mr. Pei, watching An Liguo’s state, couldn’t help asking his son, “Now that the An Family will acknowledge Shaohua too, your engagement is legitimate.”
Ye Shaohua, he heard from Old Master An, is a very smart and obedient child, and he felt she suited his son well.
At these words, Pei Xu also froze for a moment, the image of a refined and aloof face surfacing in his mind.
This hesitation made Madame Pei speak first, “Since Old Master An has said the engagement is cancelled, then let it be cancelled.”
Madame Pei always believed her son was the best and that none of the high-born ladies of Imperial City were good enough for him, An Toutou might barely pass, but as for Ye Shaohua…
A girl from an ordinary family simply lacked the upbringing, not to mention status and position, she didn’t want her son to be slighted.
And after what happened with An Toutou, something gnawed at her within.
Without the agreement of the three, Mr. Pei couldn’t rightly mention the matter in front of Old Master An, so it was dropped.
The An Family announced to various major media outlets overnight that Ye Shaohua was indeed the An Family’s Young Lady. Following closely was the news that An Liguo was critically ill and hospitalized. The collision of these two pieces of news caused great turmoil within the An Family.
With An Liguo in the hospital, all the company’s affairs weighed heavily on An Tingjun.
He had to watch his grandfather’s health, was extremely worried about An Liguo’s safety, and was troubled about the Ye Shaohua matter. Some directors at the An Family, seeing a junior taking the lead, began to challenge An Tingjun with ulterior motives.
An Tingjun was not in a good state.
And at this moment, An Toutou suddenly turned traitor, convincing one of the An Family’s investors to leave.
“An Toutou, have you forgotten who brought you to meddle in the company’s affairs?” Seeing her behave this way, one of Old Master An’s old confidants was enraged, “Liguo trusted you so much, how could you kick him while he is still in ICU, you might not be the An Family’s Young Lady, but the An Family raised you with at least the grace of upbringing!”
The An Family had raised An Toutou and An Tingjun in a similar fashion.
Seeing that she had a knack for financial management, An Liguo took her to a negotiation. An Toutou guessed all the thoughts of the counterpart using ‘mind-reading’ and speculated on some of his secrets, which put the upper hand of the negotiation in An Toutou’s hands.
This time she brought in an investment of 400 million yuan.
