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

Chapter 123 The Hua Family

After acquiring the gold mine, Ye Xinghe was in high spirits and excitedly said, "We're going to the most upscale restaurant in Beijing later. I'll be paying for everything today!"

Hua Qingmeng tilted her head to look at her, "You can treat her to this meal in Jiangyang. Come to my house for dinner tonight."

Ye Xinghe's expression went blank for a moment, then she quickly recovered, "Ah? Your family gathering, I think I'll pass."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Hua Qingmeng's face.

Ye Xinghe continued, "Moreover, this is my first visit, and I haven't prepared anything. It would be impolite to go empty-handed."

Hua Qingmeng didn't press the matter further. "Then I'll take you back to my house first. After you've all settled in, I'll come over."

Ye Xinghe smiled and quickly declined, "No need. I own two courtyard houses in Beijing now! They're very spacious!"

"No, it's not safe there now. You have to go to my house!" Hua Qingmeng's tone was firm and left no room for refusal. "Lin Hao, go to Kunyu's residence."

Hua Qingmeng's home is a three-story detached villa built against the mountain. The design is minimalist, with clean and elegant white buildings nestled among lush green trees. As evening approaches, the entire villa is illuminated with warm yellow lights, resembling a house inhabited by forest elves.

Hua Qingmeng led Ye Xinghe to her room. "I rarely stay here. I usually stay at my grandfather's place when I go back to the capital. If you need anything, you can just tell the housekeeper."

Ye Xinghe smiled slightly, "No need for that trouble, it's just for one night anyway. You should go to the party."

Before leaving, Hua Qingmeng specifically instructed Qiao Lin to keep a close eye on Ye Xinghe if he went out to play, as he was worried that Shen Huihao would seek revenge.

Ye Xinghe walked into the room and felt that the room's layout was very similar to her own. The placement of various furniture pieces, and even the color and texture of the bedding, were exactly the same as her usual preferences.

She then walked inside and entered the walk-in closet. She discovered that the closet was filled with women's clothes. The dressing table on the other side was also piled high with women's skincare products.

Could it be Hua Qingmeng's girlfriend?

Yeah, how could such a handsome man not have a girlfriend? It would be strange if he didn't.

Ye Xinghe suddenly felt a little lonely. She walked out and went to Qiao Lin's room.

The Hua family's old house.

As soon as Hua Qingmeng and Lin Hao entered the gate, they saw Old Master Hua sitting in a rocking chair in the courtyard. When he saw the two of them approaching, he craned his neck to look into the distance.

Lin Hao stepped forward with a grin, "Grandpa, did you wait for me here on purpose?"

Grandpa Hua ignored him, stood up, and looked past Lin Hao to look behind him. At this moment, Hua Qingmeng spoke up: "Don't look anymore, the person hasn't come."

Grandpa Hua immediately sat back in his rocking chair, ignoring the two of them.

Hua Qingmeng let Lin Hao go in first, then sat down in another chair. "I didn't tell her beforehand. She said she hadn't prepared a gift and it wasn't appropriate for her to visit you."

Old Master Hua shot a cold glint in his eyes at Hua Qingmeng, "Couldn't you have said that a gift wasn't necessary? What I lack isn't a gift! What I lack is a granddaughter-in-law!"

Then, his attitude changed, "Why don't you call the girl and tell her that Grandpa doesn't care about those things, and ask her to come over for dinner now?"

Hua Qingmeng respectfully poured a cup of tea for her grandfather and presented it with both hands, saying, "She's a bit tired. I arranged for her to stay at home, and she's probably resting by now."

Grandpa Hua glared at him. "The last time you came back, you showed me the photos. The girl was pretty, but I don't know if she's smart enough."

"You know, in our family, if you're not quick-witted, you'll get bullied in the future."

Hua Qingmeng smiled and lowered her head, "You can rest assured about that. She just got a big piece of meat from Shen Huihao."

Old Master Hua stared in shock, lowering his voice, "The Shen family's things are not to be touched now! When Shen Huihao came to the house this morning, I pretended to be sick and didn't see him."

Hua Qingmeng leaned closer. "Don't worry. It's a mine in Jiaocheng."

"Oh?" Old Master Hua suddenly became interested and said with a smile, "This girl is indeed very clever. Now that you mention it, I'm even more eager to meet her."

Hua Qingmeng smiled and coaxed her grandfather, "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Once I marry her, you can see her every day."

Su Nanqing, who was hiding behind a tree, overheard the grandfather and granddaughter's conversation.

She stood there, her back taut in a straight line, her pale fingertips digging into her palms.

She walked over slowly and quietly, a smile in her eyes, "Grandpa, the food is almost ready. Please come in quickly."

Grandpa Hua smiled and agreed, then got up and walked into the house.

Su Nanqing glanced at Hua Qingmeng, "Have you all finished your work? Why didn't Xinghe come along?"

Hua Qingmeng's eyes were cold as she retorted, "What's she doing here at a family gathering?"

Su Nanqing asked calmly, "Where is she staying? Did you arrange for her to stay at your home?"

Hua Qingmeng bluntly pointed out, "You heard everything just now, why are you asking again?"

As the two were locked in a stalemate, a very magnetic male voice suddenly rang out, "What are you two talking about?"

"Big brother." Hua Qingmeng looked up, a smile on his lips, "Sister-in-law was very happy to see you back. She's asking me for leave!"

How long do you plan to stay this time?

Hua Yanxi looked at her younger brother and smiled warmly, "A month, please. Spend some time with your sister-in-law."

Hua Qingmeng turned her head and said, "Then, sister-in-law, you should take a month off and spend some quality time with your brother."

Su Nanqing raised her eyebrows slightly, then shook her head and smiled faintly, "No, the Hua's project has just started, and it's a crucial time. I have to go back to Jiangyang."

Hua Qingmeng walked to her elder brother's side and put a hand on his shoulder. "Since sister-in-law is only focused on work, then brother-in-law, why don't you come along?"

"Let's set off together tomorrow night."

Ye Xinghe and Qiao Lin changed their clothes and then found a famous restaurant in Beijing specializing in local cuisine. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they searched for one of the most popular bars in Beijing on their phones.

When the two arrived, the evening's program had not yet started.

Ye Xinghe ordered a booth in the middle, and the two had barely sat down when Wang Nana, who was in the next booth, spotted them.

Today is Wang Nana's last day in Beijing. After Ye Xinghe took over all the family's businesses, the whole family decided to return to their hometown to develop their careers. She had planned to say goodbye to her friends and relax tonight. But unexpectedly, she ran into Ye Xinghe here!

Wang Nana glanced at Ye Xinghe and asked, "Why is she in the capital? Did she come with Hua Qingmeng?"

She observed for a while and noticed that Ye Xinghe was accompanied only by a short girl. Then, she hatched a plan and called Shen Yan.
