Female Novel
Chapter 53: Marry a wife for her virtues
Saturday afternoon.
In the secluded alley at the north gate of Qing He High School, a posh Bentley was conspicuouslyparked there that obviously didn't blend in with the mottled old walls and cracked cement road.
The black exterior of the car looked very understated but the interior was luxurious to perfection withreal leather seats, expensive high-quality velvet blankets and an automatic air conditioning systemexuding a faint fragrance with a hypnotic effect. The whole car was fixed up very comfortably.
The man was in a tailored dark black suit, sitting on a snow-white velvet seat. His face washandsome and apathetic as usual. There was a faint shadow under his eyelids due to manysleepless nights, making him look a bit grim and intimidating.
At that moment, the man was gazing out of the window, pondering about something.
In the driver's seat, Xu Yi had two heavy dark circles around his eyes and a gloomy face. It wasapparent that he had a sleepless night.
He would never have imagined that master actually wanted to bring that Ye Wan Wan to meet oldmadam. Ever since he found out about this, he felt very uneasy.
Isn't the master afraid that the woman's appearance will scare the living daylights out of Madam?
Not to mention that woman's troublemaking temperament.
Who's old madam you say? She's master's greatest help and supporter of him inheriting the familybusiness. If things go poorly in the old house, the consequences would be extremely severe.
Initially, he had always held onto a glimmer of hope, wishing that master was just fooling around andpursuing what he couldn't have. Who knew that master actually wanted to bring her to meet old
madam?
As the saying goes, marry a woman for her virtue. If master insists on being with this mentallyunsound woman, he'll have to pay some exorbitant price someday.
The more Xu Yi thought, the more he feared. He couldn't help but protest, "Master, there are somethings that you won't like to hear but I have to remind you even if I risk losing my life. Do think twicebefore you act--old madam is your closest kin and her words hold the most weight in the Si family. Ifold madam is hurt or offended, there will be dire consequences.
If you were just keeping her privately in Jin garden then that's one thing, but she is a woman whoyou want to bring to meet old madam, which means that she's one of the candidates to become Sifamily's household headmistress in the future and with Miss Ye's personality, it's completely..."
Before Xu Yi could continue, an icy-cold voice came from the backseat and interrupted him with astrong sense of oppression, "Who told you that's a possibility?"
A chill went down Xu Yi's spine from the sudden coldness and there was silence.
The next second, the man's tone became colder and two frosty words were spat out of his thin lips,"Only one."
The only candidate.novelbin
The moment the man's words left his mouth, Xu Yi shuddered.
He opened his mouth wanting to speak but in the end, was suppressed by a ferocious glare so hedidn't dare utter another word. He sat stiffly on his seat in disappointment, with the steering wheel inhis hands.
The atmosphere in the car froze like ice in an instant.
Just as Xu Yi was preparing for the worse, the sound of light footsteps came from a distance.
Xu Yi lifted up his bloodshot eyes towards the direction of the sound and saw a girl in Qing He'sschool uniform walking towards them from the back door.
The girl didn't have any makeup on and was carrying a pale blue backpack. Her long, jet black hairwas tied into a neat ponytail and she donned Qing He's blue and white long sleeve shirt andtrousers, which looked a little odd and hadn't been designed to be aesthetically pleasing. But due tothe girl's jade-like, translucent fair complexion, she exuded a teenage girl's vibrancy and liveliness.
Unlike the exquisitely dressed socialites' daughters that he was accustomed to, she made people'seyes light up, like a clear stream.
After seeing clearly who it was, Xu Yi was dumbfounded in disbelief.
That... That is... Ye Wan Wan!
