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

Chapter 120 Negotiation with the Shen Family

The conversation that day made Shen Huihao break out in a cold sweat instantly. Judging from the situation, it seemed they were determined to bleed a little and cut a piece of flesh from him today.

This morning, Shen Huihao went to the Hua family to plead for Shen Yan on this matter. Unexpectedly, he didn't even get to see Old Master Hua; the servants simply sent him away. This afternoon, Hua Qingmeng showed up at their house.

Mr. Shen sat there, bewildered, with a forced smile on his face. “You two have some fruit here for a while. I’ll go upstairs and see why the mother and daughter haven’t come down yet.”

When Shen Huihao got upstairs, he pushed open the door and saw the mother and daughter sitting on the edge of the bed, their faces full of worry.

"What are you all dawdling about? Why aren't you going downstairs yet!"

Shen Yan curled up her legs and buried her head in her knees. "Dad, I'm afraid to go down. Hua Qingmeng will definitely cut out my tongue."

Mr. Shen scolded in a low voice, "What were you thinking when you caused this trouble!"

Shen's mother quickly advised, "Don't talk about the child now, let's think of a solution quickly."

"What can I do! If I'm stuck with the Hua family, which is the most unreasonable family, they'll either cut off a piece of my flesh or skin me alive!" Father Shen's eyes were cold and full of anger. "You can't hide forever. Get down here now! If you wait too long, the second son of the Hua family will get angry, and things will get even more difficult."

"I have an idea," Mother Shen said quietly, her eyes darting around. "They're willing to pay money, right? How about we take the southeast..."

Mr. Shen immediately understood and told her not to continue and to hurry downstairs.

Shen Huihao smiled broadly as he walked downstairs, saying, "Yanyan just fell asleep. Her mother has already woken her up. She'll be downstairs soon after she's tidied up."

“Mr. Shen, then let me take this opportunity to talk to you about my relationship with Shen Yan.” Ye Xinghe took out her phone from her bag, opened the recording file, and said, “Listen carefully to what your daughter has to say.”

The recording playing on the phone was of Shen Yan spreading rumors about Ye Xinghe in the bathroom.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Shen lowered his head and rubbed his hands together. "Miss Ye, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect Shen Yan to say such a thing."

Ye Xinghe looked at Shen Huihao, her face still showing that nonchalant expression, only now with a hint of mockery.

"They wildly speculate about things they don't understand, disregard the innocence of others, fabricate falsehoods to cater to their own filthy thoughts, and shamelessly spread them to others."

"I wonder how the Shen family in the capital educates their children; their ability to make up lies is truly exceptional."

Mr. Shen blushed and lowered his head even further. "It's my fault for not educating Shen Yan properly. This child has been spoiled by me and her mother. I apologize to you again on her behalf."

Just then, Shen Yan came downstairs and happened to see her father apologizing.

Ye Xinghe raised an eyebrow and smiled at her, a smile that sent shivers down one's spine.

"I never accept these empty apologies. It's impossible for me to swallow my anger in the face of slander. Whoever defames me, I'll tear their mouth apart!"

Ye Xinghe continued playing the recording, "These are the conditions your daughter promised me. I never expected that not only would she not keep her promise, but she would also run away home. Now I have to come to your door in person to collect the debt."

"Miss Ye, I really didn't know this had happened." Mr. Shen grabbed Shen Yan and forced her to kneel on the ground. "Apologize to Miss Ye right now! You promised her something, and you have to keep your word! Do it now!"

A mocking smile flickered across Ye Xinghe's lips. "No, it's a different price now."

Mr. Shen said with a forced smile, "Yes, Miss Ye. I will transfer the 5000 million to your account in a moment."

Ye Xinghe frowned, her face full of displeasure. "It's not my account; it's the account that was transferred to the family of the person who died from school bullying. Didn't you listen carefully to the recording just now, Mr. Shen?"

“Your family isn’t being sincere at all. Otherwise, you might as well just cut off their tongues. It would save everyone a lot of trouble. One cut, and it’ll be over sooner, so I can get back to Jiangyang sooner.” Ye Xinghe finished speaking and looked at Hua Qingmeng.

Mr. Shen hurriedly said, "Don't rush, Miss Ye, I haven't finished yet. I have a building in Beijing, worth at least 100 million yuan. Consider it a gift to make friends with you, Miss Ye."

Ye Xinghe chuckled, "Mr. Shen, are you referring to that unfinished building in the southeast of Beijing, near the Seventh Ring Road?"

Shen Huihao showed a slight look of surprise, but quickly regained his composure. "Because of cash flow problems, it's true that it wasn't finished. However, after Miss Ye takes over, she can continue building, and the value will increase several times over!"

Ye Xinghe's eyes gleamed with a disdainful smile. "We're almost at a plot of land in the suburbs. I'd like to hear how its value has doubled."

Shen Huihao raised his voice slightly, "You might not know this since you're not in Beijing. A commercial district is about to be built there. The municipal government is also moving there, and the surrounding area will soon be developed. Property prices will definitely double."

“Mr. Shen, I finally know who Shen Yan’s mouth is like. So lying is hereditary too, huh?” Ye Xinghe’s lips curled into a slight sneer. “But I dare not take this building. I’m afraid it will be confiscated by the higher-ups as soon as I get my hands on it.”

"Do you think I don't know how this building came about just because I'm not in the capital?"

Shen Huihao was just smiling obsequiously, but his expression quickly turned cold.

This building, located on the southeastern seventh ring road of Beijing, has been abandoned for nearly 20 years. It was originally a commission Shen Huihao received for doing favors for a developer. Later, the developer's cash flow dried up, and they couldn't afford to continue construction, so it's just been left unfinished ever since.

The authorities have been cracking down hard lately, and if anything goes wrong, this building will definitely be confiscated by the state.

He had intended to use this building to get rid of Ye Xinghe, but she saw through his plan.

Mrs. Shen tried to ease the tension, saying, "Miss Ye, you're joking. My husband is an honest and law-abiding citizen. He's hardworking and a good public servant. He would never do anything that violates discipline."

Ye Xinghe glanced at Shen's mother sitting in the distance, a provocative smile spreading across her beautiful eyes. "Since when is obeying the law something to brag about? Isn't the law the minimum requirement for a person?"

The atmosphere once again plummeted to freezing point.

Shen Huihao gritted his teeth, his smile forced. "So, Miss Ye, how do you intend to handle this? I only have one daughter, and my father is still hospitalized. If anything else happens to my family, I'm afraid the old man..."

"Stop it! Don't blame everything on me! If your daughter had been born mute, none of this would have happened!" Ye Xinghe said with displeasure, "I don't want to waste my breath on you. I just want that gold mine in Jiaocheng Sanshan."
