Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 277: Confronting at Their Door

Just at this moment, Xiao Cui walked in from outside the door.

Seeing him, Chen Kun’s eyes immediately brightened, and he hurriedly looked behind Xiao Cui.

However, even after Xiao Cui had reached the middle of the grand hall, he still did not see the person he wanted to see.

"Xiao Cui, why didn’t Dingxiang come with you?" Han Jinhui asked.

"Reporting to the Family Head, the young miss has already retired for the night."

"Retired for the night?"

Upon hearing this, several people’s expressions were slightly taken aback.

Han Jinhui immediately understood that this was Han Dingxiang’s way of declining; she must have known the purpose of his call and thus was unwilling to see anyone.

Chen Dongshan’s expression turned slightly stern, also understanding this point.

He remained silent and did not speak.

Only Chen Kun showed a face full of regret and disappointment.

Sigh, she’s already retired for the night; if only I came a bit earlier.

"I understand, you may go now," Han Jinhui said to Xiao Cui.

"Yes."

After Xiao Cui left, Han Jinhui turned to look at Chen Dongshan, "I am truly sorry, I originally wanted to have Dingxiang come over as well to discuss this matter. I didn’t expect her to retire so early."

Chen Dongshan stood up and courteously said, "Family Head need not apologize, it is our fault for arriving so abruptly. At this time of night, most people would be resting."

He tugged at Chen Kun, who was still seated, before continuing to speak to Han Jinhui, "Since Miss Dingxiang has already retired for the night, there’s not much point in us staying here. We will take our leave and return to discuss matters tomorrow, how does that sound to you, Family Head?"

"Of course, that’s fine," Han Jinhui nodded.

Afterward, Chen Dongshan left with Chen Kun.

Once they were gone, Han Jinhui’s wife Tang Hui let out a sigh and said, "Dingxiang will definitely not sign a Contract with Chen Kun. It was impossible when Xiao Yu ’died’ before, and now that Xiao Yu is alive, it’s even more impossible. Why didn’t you refuse directly instead of agreeing to discuss it with them?"

Han Jinhui said, "Do you think I’m unaware of Dingxiang’s feelings? She’s my darling daughter, and I naturally support her. But the key point is, it’s not just Xiao Yu who has returned this time."

"What do you mean?"

Han Jinhui sighed, "You weren’t at home today, so you don’t know. It’s true that Xiao Yu has returned, but a woman has returned with him."

"Woman?" Hearing this, Tang Hui was instantly shocked and then spoke incredulously, "Are you saying that Xiao Yu has a Contract with another woman?"

"Yes, and what’s more, the woman has a rather impressive talent."

Upon hearing this, Tang Hui’s face turned cold, "How could Xiao Yu do this? How could he contract with another woman? Doesn’t he know Dingxiang has been waiting for him all this time?"

"It’s unacceptable. I must ask Xiao Yu what he really means!"

Tang Hui was so angry that her face turned ashen as she immediately ordered the carriage to be prepared.

She intended to personally visit the Xiao Family for answers!

"What are you doing?" Han Jinhui grabbed her, frowning.

"What am I doing?" Tang Hui retorted, "Don’t tell me you’re not aware of how deep Dingxiang’s feelings for Xiao Yu are. If Dingxiang finds out about this, it’ll hurt her even more than if she were to be killed!"

This made Han Jinhui go silent.

He, of course, knew what Xiao Yu meant to Dingxiang.

It could be said that the moment Xiao Yu ’lost his life’ trying to save Dingxiang, he became irreplaceable in her heart.

For all these years, Dingxiang had not formed a Contract with any other Spirit Master, precisely because of Xiao Yu.

She had always been waiting for Xiao Yu’s return.

Now that Xiao Yu has returned, but contracted with another woman, what was Dingxiang supposed to think?

She would surely break down.

"Xiao Yu has been missing for three years, everyone thought he was dead, but now he’s alive. Who knows what he has gone through over these few years? People change; him contracting with another woman is a normal thing."

Han Jinhui was still relatively rational.

He believed Xiao Yu was not one to change his affections easily; if he contracted with another woman, there must be an unavoidable reason.

But Tang Hui was more emotional.

"What about Dingxiang? She’s also waited for Xiao Yu for three years!" she asked.

Han Jinhui fell silent; he didn’t know what to do either.

Suddenly, Tang Hui seemed to think of something and asked eagerly, "What kind of Contract is Xiao Yu in with the other lady?"

"There are no tattoos on the forehead; it’s an equal Contract," Han Jinhui answered, and he instantly understood something.

"What’s the background of that lady?" Tang Hui continued asking.

This time, Han Jinhui shook his head, "I don’t know, she’s not from any of the four major families."

Tang Hui said, "If she’s not from one of the major families, then this should be easier to handle. I believe Xiao Yu must have his difficulties for contracting with another woman. But at the same time, Dingxiang definitely must become Xiao Yu’s Contract partner."

"Have someone investigate this woman’s background, meanwhile, we’ll visit the Xiao Family first thing tomorrow morning to understand the specifics. We will try to have Xiao Yu and Dingxiang form a Contract before she learns of this matter."

Tang Hui knew her daughter too well.

When Xiao Yu ’died,’ Han Dingxiang had attempted to end her life several times.

Therefore, Xiao Cui always accompanied her closely, and every time, the discovery was made promptly; otherwise, they would have lost their daughter long ago.

So if Han Dingxiang knew about Xiao Yu’s Contract with another woman, she would surely go mad, and another attempt at ending her life would be certain.

"Alright, we’ll go first thing tomorrow morning," Han Jinhui agreed.

For his daughter’s happiness, he could not care about anything else.

...

Soon, the next day arrived.

The Xiao Family home.

Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong had just gotten up, they hadn’t even had time for breakfast when Hose and Ghost Abacus arrived before him.

"It’s bad news; Han Jinhui and his wife from the Han family have come to see you," Ghost Abacus said, somewhat nervously.

"Looking for me? What for?"

The Han family, one of the four major families, had good relations with the Xiao Family, which Xiao Zhan knew from the records.

Normally, Han Jinhui would be seeking the Xiao Family Head, Xiao Tiance.

What’s he doing looking for him now?

And judging by Ghost Abacus’s nervous look, it seemed to be a bad thing.

Ghost Abacus glanced at Ye Youlong with some trepidation, hesitated for half a second, and then said, "I forgot to tell you, using Xiao Yu’s identity, he had a childhood sweetheart relationship with the Han family’s eldest miss, Han Dingxiang. They’ve had very deep feelings towards each other since they were children."

"If no accident had occurred, Xiao Yu was to sign a Contract with Han Dingxiang. But fate varies, an accident occurred during an outing, and Xiao Yu ’died.’"

"Now that you have returned using Xiao Yu’s identity and brought a ’lady of the house’ with you, the Han family is aware. Han Jinhui dotes on his daughter; he will certainly demand justice for Han Dingxiang."
