Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 484

Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Really Wishful Thinking

Ye Wenhui might write a letter back to Beijing to complain, but for now, she couldn’t concern herself with that. After all, she was in Ji Province, and the Ye Family’s grievances couldn’t reach her for the time being. What she truly feared now was Ye Wenhui disclosing her real identity. If that happened, she would find it incredibly difficult to navigate the Agricultural Reclamation Group, especially since many educated youths from Beijing had come to the countryside with them. Some of them were even familiar with the Ye Family—a risk she wasn’t willing to take.

With these thoughts, she couldn’t help but quicken her pace.

However, she hadn’t expected that as soon as she stepped into Ye Wenhui’s dormitory, she would be greeted with an enamel mug thrown at her. "Ye Wenjuan, you dare to come see me?"

Ye Wenjuan dodged the enamel mug hurled at her and put on a pitiful expression, "Cousin, I came to see you with good intentions. Why are you getting angry at me?"

At this point, Ye Wenhui wished she could strangle her. "Ye Wenjuan, stop pretending with me. Although I don’t have the evidence to do anything to you, we both know very well what you’ve done."

She hadn’t been idle these past few days, inquiring about many things, and she had indeed found some clues. It was just that she hadn’t confirmed them yet. If things really were as she suspected, then the Ye Family had indeed raised an ingrate. Previously, even if she didn’t like Ye Wenjuan, she hadn’t thought her capable of maliciously harming others. She truly underestimated human nature. These past days, as she fixated on these matters, she had come to understand some things. From now on, she and Ye Wenjuan were irreconcilable.

Ye Wenjuan wanted to say more, but seeing the undisguised disgust in Ye Wenhui’s eyes, the inferiority deep within her heart ignited into a fiercer hatred.

Yet she also knew that she must not provoke Ye Wenhui too much now. "Cousin, I know that no matter what I say now, you won’t believe me, but I really am innocent. I was just passing on a message. I am already pitiable enough. I hope you can have pity on me, Cousin, and not push me to a dead end."

After saying this, she turned and ran out, naturally not forgetting to take the canned goods with her. Without the Ye Family’s supplies in the future, her life might become very difficult. Besides, Ye Wenhui wouldn’t miss them, so it was better to take them for herself.

She knew that with the words she just said, even if Ye Wenhui disapproved of her, Ye Wenhui would have some reservations.

That was enough. In some situations, going too far could be counterproductive. As long as her identity wasn’t exposed, she had other ways to manage, using her own tactics. She was gambling.

Of course, Ye Wenhui discerned the implication behind Ye Wenjuan’s words. Although impetuous, she was inherently kind-hearted. Despite her hatred for Ye Wenjuan, she didn’t wish death upon her. However, people change. After experiencing such horrifying events, she was no longer the carefree person she used to be. Ye Wenjuan’s recent words were likely meant to prevent her from revealing Ye Wenjuan’s identity. She harmed me and still expects to save herself—truly wishful thinking! One must have principles. I would never stoop to such despicable means of harming others. But as for those who have reason to fear me, I certainly won’t let them off. Once my investigation yields results, she will not escape the law.

In Beijing, Yunyi tidied up her room briefly. Since she hadn’t been gone for long, there wasn’t much dust.

Thinking it was still early before the Wei Family’s older brother would finish work, she went out to bolt the front door and returned to her room to enter her space.

She had been in a hurry on her last trip to Beijing and hadn’t paid respects to her grandfather. Now that the Chu Family’s Second Grandfather had come to acknowledge her, she naturally had to visit the cemetery and talk to her grandfather about it. Since she was going, she naturally had to prepare some of her grandfather’s favorite foods to take with her.
