Kang Jinse was furious, "You...."
He An knew very well that the Yun Family stepped in to hush up the matter, but even so, what of it? After giving it careful thought back at home, Lin Sili had been kicked out by the Lin family and now had nothing. A woman like that wasn’t worth marrying at all.
But this Kang Jinxian was different. Although she was just the Yun Family’s adopted daughter, he heard that Yun Shen and Yun Shu were exceptionally fond of her. If he could cling to the Yun Family, the He Family would definitely rise another level.
That’s why he made the move today.
He was sure the Yun Family would agree.
"I’ll marry." A hoarse yet resolute voice suddenly rang out. Latest content published on N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
He An turned to look and saw a frail girl slowly approaching, her complexion pale, her eye sockets sunken, not a particularly beautiful face, but a very distinctive temperament.
He An thought back to the craziness of that night and relished it countless times over the past few days. He had to admit, although her figure was a bit lean, the taste was truly fucking unforgettable.
Kang Jinse couldn’t believe it, "Ah Xian, do you know what you’re saying?"
Kang Jinxian walked up to Yun Shu and said in a low voice, "Mom, I’m marrying him."
Yun Shu looked at her for two seconds, "Are you sure?"
Kang Jinxian nodded without hesitation.
Within a controllable range, she sought the greatest benefit for herself. That was the wisdom she had gleaned from this incident.
Yun Shu said indifferently, "Good."
He An rubbed his hands together with a smile, his gaze lingering on her, "Miss Kang is truly wise. Rest assured, marrying me will definitely not make you suffer."
Kang Jinxian curved her lips up, looking extremely obedient, but a flash of coldness quickly passed through her lowered eyes.
And so, the marriage between Kang Jinxian and He An was settled, Kang Jinxian still being underage, they would wait until she reached the legal age for marriage before holding the wedding.
He An, having gotten the result he wanted, left delightedly.
Kang Jinse, discontented, asked, "Ah Xian, you clearly could have made a better choice, why choose to marry He An? He is a complete scumbag; marrying him, you won’t be happy."
Kang Jinxian looked up at Kang Jinse with a hint of mockery in her eyes, but her face remained smiling, "Sister, this is currently the best choice for me. Besides, the He Family counts as a reputable household in Jiangzhou, and He An is the only child. When I marry into the family, I’ll be the Family Head’s wife, which honestly isn’t too bad."
Kang Jinse sighed, "Ah Xian, it’s really hard on you."
Kang Jinxian curled her lips, her gaze silently falling.
When Yun Shen came back in the evening and saw Kang Jinxian at the dinner table, he couldn’t help but freeze. Kang Jinxian looked up at him and smiled gently, her smile as ever-refreshingly sweet. Yet, Yun Shen sensed something different.
After exchanging a couple of pleasantries, Kang Jinxian replied obediently, showing neither subservience nor arrogance, lacking her previous shyness.
Yun Shen frowned subconsciously.
Yun Shu informed Yun Shen of Kang Jinxian and He An’s engagement, making Yun Shen’s brows furrow even deeper.
He looked at Kang Jinxian, "If you’re unwilling, a mere He An poses no real threat to you."
Kang Jinxian smiled softly, "Brother, I’m willing."
Yun Shen wanted to say more but eventually closed his mouth.
After dinner, Yun Shu called Yun Shen into the study and handed him some materials: "This is what the private detective I hired found. Her whereabouts abroad over the years have been quite secretive, and the detective couldn’t dig up much, only her address, but that house was sold after she returned to the country."
Yun Shen flipped through it casually and asked a critical question, "What about Yun Miao? Where is he?"
Yun Shu’s lips curled, "Ji Yunmiao is her Achilles’ heel. If we find Ji Yunmiao, I’d like to see what kind of waves she can still make."
"So, Yun Miao hasn’t been found yet?"
Yun Shu spoke indifferently, "The investigation is ongoing. Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find Ji Yunmiao."
These siblings were remnants of Mu Qingci, and she would not let them off the hook. Moreover, after all they had been through, they were destined for a fight to the death.
Remembering something, Yun Shen frowned and asked, "Ah Xian’s marriage, did you decide that?"
Yun Shu glanced at him, "It was her own choice. The child has improved somewhat after this affair."
"But the He Family, that’s a wolf’s den, it’ll ruin her."
Yun Shu’s eyes narrowed, "Why, do you feel pity?"
Yun Shen pursed his lips and cast his gaze downward, "She’s your daughter too. After ten years, you must feel something."
"Ha..." Yun Shu laughed coldly.
"Ji Yunya is your own flesh and blood, yet how can you be so ruthless with him? Shenshen, cast aside your ridiculous sympathy. In my view, people without value have no necessity to exist."
