Special Agent’s Rebirth: The Almighty Goddess of Quick Transmigration - Chapter 299

Ye Shaohua held a black card in her hand, her right hand tucked in her pocket. She glanced casually at Granny Li and the others before finally settling her gaze on Ye Cheng and Du Man.

Her expression was cool and detached, yet her stunning beauty was undeniable, even in the dim, shabby stairwell.

Granny Li had matchmade countless young women over the years, but she had never seen anyone more beautiful than the girl before her. The moment she appeared, everything around her seemed to fade into the background.

Because of her striking appearance, Granny Li, Mr. Yu, and Xiao Han didn’t connect her with the lazy, good-for-nothing Ye Shaohua they knew before.

It wasn’t until Ye Shaohua called out “Mom and Dad” that Granny Li and the others snapped back to reality.

“Xiao Du, when did you have another daughter?” Granny Li asked Du Man and Ye Cheng in surprise.

If it weren’t for Ye Shaohua’s strong resemblance to the couple, she would never have believed that such an exceptional young woman could be their daughter.

Xiao Han was a returnee from abroad who had seen his fair share of the world. He was even engaged to Meimei, the department flower. Yet, he too was utterly captivated by Ye Shaohua.

If Meimei hadn’t been by his side, he might have immediately asked Granny Li to arrange an introduction.

Hearing Granny Li’s question, Du Man patted Ye Shaohua’s hand and smiled. “Shaohua, why aren’t you greeting anyone today?”

Ye Shaohua could sense Du Man’s desire to show off. She sighed inwardly, then slowly turned to Granny Li. “Hello, Granny.”

“Shaohua?!” Granny Li exclaimed, unable to contain her shock despite her age. “How can this be Shaohua?!”

She had known Ye Shaohua for years—how could she not be aware of what she was really like?

Du Man continued with a gentle smile. “She just took off her glasses, Granny. How could you not recognize her? Shaohua has always refused to take them off before. Don’t you think she looks much better without them?”

Granny Li’s lips twitched. “Yes… she looks beautiful…”

Even she couldn’t bring herself to claim otherwise.

Mr. Yu was familiar with Ye Shaohua’s name from the matchmaking discussions. He had learned that she lived upstairs from Granny Li.

When Granny Li later told him that Ye Shaohua’s family had refused the match, Mr. Yu hadn’t thought much of it. In his eyes, Ye Shaohua was rather ordinary. Although Granny Li had suggested that with a little effort, he might win over her parents, he hadn’t pursued it.

After all, nothing about Ye Shaohua had appealed to him. Hearing that she hadn’t even gotten into grad school, Mr. Yu had only considered her as a backup option.

But never in his wildest dreams did he expect to see Ye Shaohua again under such circumstances.

If he was shocked, Xiao Han was even more so.

Ye Shaohua was genuinely captivating. Her allure came from deep within—an innate charm that, when she didn’t hold back or deliberately conceal it, was almost impossible to resist. This was the same charm that had made her a nationally acclaimed actress in her original world in just two years.

How could two ordinary men like them possibly withstand it?

Xiao Han had even seen a photo of Ye Shaohua before, though at the time, Granny Li had never seriously intended to introduce them. She had only wanted to embarrass Ye Shaohua.

Back then, Xiao Han had tossed the photo into the trash without a second thought.

Yet now, the person in that discarded photo was standing before him—a radiant beauty beyond comparison.

“Granny Li, is she really…” If he hadn’t known, it might have been easier. But now, realizing that the Ye family had once been very interested in him, and that he could have been their son-in-law if he had wanted…

Nothing was more regretful than realizing he had let slip something he had almost possessed.

Xiao Han completely ignored Meimei’s visibly displeased expression.

Granny Li’s smile was strained. “It’s her.”

Although Ye Shaohua’s appearance had changed, her tone and voice remained the same. Granny Li recognized it immediately.

Xiao Han stood rooted to the spot, utterly stunned.

Granny Li hadn’t anticipated this turn of events. She stared at Ye Shaohua’s face, speechless.

More neighbors gathered in the stairwell, including Granny Li’s daughter-in-law. Most people in the building had always looked down on Ye Shaohua.

“So what if she’s pretty? She’s still a freeloader who lives off her parents…” someone muttered under their breath, their tone dripping with jealousy.

“Dad, here’s 15 million. I sold a design blueprint to an online contact,” Ye Shaohua said, handing the card to Ye Cheng with a smile. “I’ve been working on designs in my room all these years. This is my copyright fee. In a few months, you’ll see my project featured on national television.”

“Wh-what?” Ye Cheng and Du Man stared at the card in their hands, completely stunned.

Fifteen million—it was an amount they had never even dreamed of having.

Although Ye Shaohua had surprised them back in S City, it was nothing compared to this.

They worked tirelessly at their street stall day in and day out, saving only a few thousand dollars a year.

“Is… is this a dream?” Ye Cheng had never held a black card in his life.

The neighbors were equally shocked by Ye Shaohua’s revelation. “It’s just a card. How do we know it really has 15 million?” someone whispered skeptically.

Someone more knowledgeable immediately retorted, “Looks like you’ve never seen the world. A black card—have you never heard of a black card? The minimum limit for a black card is 10 million.”

The earlier critic fell silent, their face flushing with embarrassment, and quietly retreated to the back.

Everyone in the building soon learned that the Ye family’s youngest daughter, once known as a freeloader, had made something of herself. Not only had she earned a fortune, but her project would also be featured on national television. One by one, they offered their congratulations to the Ye couple.

But in reality, when they heard that Ye Shaohua had bought her parents a duplex apartment in the city center, their envy and jealousy became almost unbearable.

The neighbors who had once mocked Ye Cheng for being a disabled cripple were now consumed by admiration and envy.

When Ye Cheng hosted a dinner for everyone in the building, Ye Shaohua didn’t attend. She had received a call from Bai Xuano.

Chief Yun was planning to transfer Yun Nuo abroad!

How could that be allowed?
