Reborn as a heiress, she transforms into a ruthless vengeful woman.

Chapter 136 Su Nanqing's Fall and Injury

Although Su Nanqing was very unhappy inside, she pretended to be a good older sister and asked with concern, "Xinghe, are you feeling better now?"

"You must be feeling very unwell. Otherwise, Qingmeng wouldn't have delayed his flight. He's always very punctual, and he never changes a time that's already set."

Although Ye Xinghe still had a high fever, her mind was clear. She understood the implication in Su Nanqing's words—she was being blamed.

Su Nanqing is Hua Qingmeng's sister-in-law, unlike others, so Ye Xinghe can't confront her directly. So, she put on a dramatic act, looking pitifully at Su Nanqing with tears welling up in her eyes, "Sister Nanqing, you understand me best. You could tell at a glance that I'm not feeling well. I'm sore and weak all over, and I feel like all my bones are about to break."

Su Nanqing sighed softly, "If I had been here last night, that would have been better. Qingmeng doesn't know how to take care of people."

While Su Nanqing complained about Hua Qingmeng, she thought to herself, "I wonder if Ye Xinghe is really stupid, or if she's just pretending not to know. She doesn't feel guilty at all, and she's even playing the victim."

She helped Ye Xinghe to the bedside. "How high was your fever yesterday? Let me feel it. Has it gone down?"

"40 degrees Celsius. The fever has subsided now." Ye Xinghe had no idea what her fever was; her memory of last night was limited to the time at the bar. She just made up a number, making it as high as possible! If the temperature was too low, Hua Qingmeng canceling her flight would upset Su Nanqing. She didn't want to cause any family conflict between them.

"Oh? That high!" Su Nanqing's eyes were full of worry. "Poor little one, did you take your own temperature and take any medicine?"

Ye Xinghe suddenly coughed a few times, wondering how to reply to Su Nanqing, when Hua Qingmeng interrupted, "Why didn't my older brother come with you?"

Su Nanqing looked up at him and replied softly, "You know how busy your older brother is. Even if he goes back to China, he'll still be busy with work. How could he have time to come back to Jiangyang with us?"

Hua Qingmeng remained calm and composed. "You two only see each other a few times a year, so you should spend more time with him. Besides, Grandpa has always hoped that you two can have a child soon."

Su Nanqing's expression darkened slightly. She hadn't expected Hua Qingmeng to discuss family matters in front of Ye Xinghe. It seemed that the girl he and the old man were talking about in the courtyard before dinner yesterday must have been Ye Xinghe.

“Your brother and I are both so busy with work that we’re not planning on having children yet.” Su Nanqing looked embarrassed, then stiffly changed the subject, “I see that Xinghe is still so weak, why don’t we go back to Jiangyang first? The company can’t do without her right now. Let’s wait until she’s feeling better before going back. We don’t want her condition to worsen because of the journey.”

Hua Qingmeng completely ignored her words, her eyes were firm, and her tone left no room for refusal, "Then let's do as I said yesterday, you stay in the capital this month to keep your elder brother company. Jiangyang isn't too busy right now, they're still in the talent selection phase, and there's still more than a month before it officially starts. After a month, my elder brother will go back, and then you can come back."

Before Su Nanqing could retort, Hua Qingmeng had already picked up the phone. "I'll tell Grandpa that you're not going to Jiangyang. He'll be very happy."

After the call connected, Su Nanqing's face turned ashen; she knew she wouldn't be able to return to Jiangyang today.

Grandpa Hua had always wanted to have a great-grandson. Since the two got married, he had urged him many times, but Su Nanqing always made excuses, saying that Hua Yanxi was too busy with work.

The truth is that she doesn't want children, or rather, she doesn't want Hua Yanxi's children.

Because the person she truly loved was always Hua Qingmeng!

From the first day of high school, Su Nanqing fell in love with Hua Qingmeng at first sight. Hua Qingmeng was an excellent student, consistently ranking first in his grade. Coupled with his handsome appearance and being the second young master of the Hua Group, countless girls were attracted to him.

However, Hua Qingmeng was completely clueless about romance and remained unmoved. Su Nanqing studied desperately to catch up with him, and after graduating from high school, she successfully entered the same university as Hua Qingmeng.

After entering the same university, the two gradually became acquainted. Following a school visit day, Hua Qingmeng began frequently inviting her to his home, leading her to believe that he treated her differently from other girls. Each time she visited the Hua family, she tried her best to present a well-behaved and sensible image, striving to please Grandpa Hua and his family, hoping they would like and accept her. She was simply waiting for Hua Qingmeng to graduate from university so she could smoothly marry into the Hua family and marry Hua Qingmeng.

However, the reality is that she did marry into the Hua family, but her husband was Hua Qingmeng's eldest brother, Hua Yanxi.

Although Ye Xinghe had little appetite and a sore throat, she had to eat something to maintain her strength. She lowered her head and sipped her porridge slowly. She sensed the awkward atmosphere in the room and didn't dare look up at the two of them. She silently prayed that another person would arrive soon—Lin Hao or Qiao Lin, anyone would do.

Su Nanqing's expression froze briefly before she quickly regained her composure. "Let Xinghe stay a few more days. I'm worried about her health right now. I'll take her back then."

Hua Qingmeng raised her eyes and stared directly at her. "Ye Xinghe must return to Jiangyang today. I need to hand her over to her mother as soon as possible, lest she sue me for a work injury."

"Moreover, she is now a key employee in our team, so she can't be absent from work."

Ye Xinghe glared at him but didn't say anything. After finishing her meal and taking her medicine, her spirits finally recovered somewhat.

Qiao Lin came over to help her pack her things, and then everyone was about to go downstairs to head to the airport.

Su Nanqing followed behind. During this time, she racked her brains for a solution, "Since I can't go back with them today, maybe I can find a way to keep Hua Qingmeng here."

She stopped, deliberately creating some distance between herself and the person in front of her. Suddenly, her foot slipped, she missed a step, and slid down the stairs.

"---ah!!"

After a scream, everyone turned to look. They saw Su Nanqing tumbled down the corner of the stairs, clutching her ankle, her expression one of great pain.

"Qingmeng, it hurts so much! My ankle hurts so much!"

Hua Qingmeng remained calm. She glanced at Lin Hao first, then turned to Ye Xinghe and said, "Go downstairs to the living room and wait for us."

Ye Xinghe craned her neck to look up. "Sister Nan Qing has fallen very badly. Qiao Lin, call an ambulance quickly!"
