The onlookers were suddenly stunned when they heard this. The Red Rose is the daughter of the Wu Family?
How is that possible? The news was too explosive, wasn't it?
Upon hearing Mrs. Wu expose her identity in front of so many people, Ye i's face turned pale. The last thing she wanted was to have any association with the Wu Family.
Although she was unwilling, it was the truth after all. She didn't understand why Mrs. Wu suddenly dropped this bombshell and what her intention was. Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire
"Previously, Ye i had so minor disagreents with our Wu Family, so she went out on her own to make her mark. Fortunately, she has achieved so success over the years, and the old lady is greatly comforted."
Mrs. Wu appeared like a gentle grandmother at this mont, her face bearing a warm smile, and her gaze towards Ye i was filled with tenderness:
"But a wandering bird must eventually return to its nest. She is, after all, part of our Wu Family. Therefore, today I take this opportunity to formally announce that, from today on, Ye i will officially return to our Wu Family!"
"Ye i is now running an investnt group and doing quite well. However, the old lady here begs everyone, please continue to support her in the future. I thank you all here," said Mrs. Wu, even bending slightly to the crowd.
Seeing Mrs. Wu in this manner, the crowd hurriedly protested:
"No, no, that won't do!"
Everyone promptly promised to communicate more with Ye i and to help her whenever they could.
For them, who were anxious to find a way to connect with the Wu Family's big ship, such an opportunity was not to be missed.
Ye i was also dumbfounded. She didn't expect the old lady to pull such a move suddenly, and she was sowhat unsure of what to do.
She was inclined to refuse, not wanting to have any ties with the Wu Family, but for so reason, she found herself speechless.
When Wu Jinjun heard his mother's words, his eyes showed a flicker of surprise; after all, Ye i was his daughter.
Seeing that Ye i didn't imdiately refuse as she had anticipated, Mrs. Wu took advantage of the mont to smile warmly:
"I have another piece of good news to tell everyone, and that's that our Ye i is going to marry the third son of the Situ Family from Yandu very soon. I hope everyone will co to have a drink when the ti cos!"
As soon as these words fell, everyone was shocked!
The Wu Family was actually going to have a marriage alliance with the Situ Family from Yandu—this was a soaring move!
The other top three families weren't as shocked because they had already heard the news. They just lanted that the gap between the Wu Family and them was growing wider!
"No, I refuse, I won't marry into the Situ Family, never!"
As soon as Mrs. Wu announced the marriage publicly, Ye i imdiately snapped back to attention and firmly declared.
The crowd couldn't help but be surprised, thinking, marrying into the Situ Family from Yandu was sothing many people longed for.
Why would the Red Rose refuse? What was she thinking?
"Ye i, after all, I am your grandmother. Would I harm you?"
Seeing Ye i's refusal, Mrs. Wu's eyes shot out a sharp gleam, then quickly softened, returning to a benign expression:
"Ye i, I know the third son of the Situ Family. Not only is he handso, he has made it into Harvard Business School on his own rits and is about to return to the country. Finding such a spouse is like looking for a needle in a haystack, not to ntion that he belongs to the Situ Family!"
Mrs. Wu knew that Ye i had always been against this arranged marriage, so she had planned in advance to move Ye i with warmth, and to announce the engagent in a gathering of the upper-class elite.
In this way, as long as Ye i showed the slightest hesitation, the situation would seem like a fait accompli, making it much harder for her to turn back.

Even if she wanted to go back on her word, the news had already spread. The Situ Family, for the sake of their family's honor, would resort to any ans necessary to ensure they married Ye i.
Thus, the alliance through marriage was as good as settled!
She believed that with the power of her Wu Family and the Situ Family in Yandu, even if Ye i had any capabilities, she wouldn't be able to cause much of a stir!
As for whether Ye i herself was willing or not, that had already beco irrelevant to families like theirs.
What she hadn't expected was Ye i's utter distaste for the arranged marriage; she didn't even think before she outright rejected it!
"No matter what you say, I will never marry into the Situ Family. The Wu Family might as well give up on this idea!"
Ye i had also co to realize that the elder Mrs. Wu's uncharacteristically fervent behavior was, in the end, just a ploy to latch onto the prestigious Situ Family!
"Ye i, let put it bluntly," the old lady's tone had once again turned cold, with an unmistakable threat in her voice,
When Ye i heard this, her pretty face also paled, aware that, alone, she would find it very difficult to withstand the Situ Family's might.
If she remained stubborn, she feared there would be no good end for her. Actually, she wasn't too worried about herself; if worse ca to worst, she could just end it all. But what she was concerned about was her mother!
"Clap clap clap!"
Just then, a sudden burst of applause rang out, and everyone couldn't help but follow the sound to look over...
"Does the Wu Family even have any sha left?"
Su Chen, clapping his hands with a slight smile on his face, walked over to Ye i's side...
However, as the crowd heard Su Chen's words, they were stunned, jaws dropping. It was one thing for him to have a beef with the Liu Family, but why was he suddenly provoking the Wu Family?
And to start off by sarcastically asking if the Wu Family had any sha, was he truly in a rush to et his demise?
Lin Ruoxue, seeing Su Chen suddenly stepping forward and speaking out like that, felt a tremor in her heart!
"This guy, why can't he just behave? Getting into trouble before was bad enough, but now he's gotten mixed up with the Wu Family? Is the Wu Family soone you can afford to provoke?"
"Could this guy be doing it for that woman? What exactly is their relationship?"
Lin Ruoxue thought with so resentnt, but what she was more worried about at the mont was Su Chen, for on the land of Jiangnan, no one dared to offend the Wu Family!
It wasn't just Lin Ruoxue; Yun Shiqing was also experiencing a splitting headache!
Yunlong's older brother was indeed a restless one—as soon as the Wu Family arrived, he had stirred up trouble again!
"What are you, and what gives you the right to speak here?"
The old Mrs. Wu turned her head to look at the approaching man, then her pupils suddenly dilated:
"It's you!"
Of course, Mrs. Wu had seen photos of Su Chen because the Wu Family had suffered heavy losses in their pursuit to eliminate him, including the lives of several Martial Arts experts. These losses made Mrs. Wu's heart bleed to this day!
When she had first arrived, all her attention had been focused on Ye i, and she truly hadn't noticed Su Chen's presence!
Now, facing the man who had shad Mrs. Wu and inflicted severe losses on them, Mrs. Wu's murky eyes instantly flashed with lightning, and her face turned utterly dark!
