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

Chapter 109 Bargaining

Shen Yan really did have that money. She didn't need to ask her family for 2000 million; she could come up with it herself.

However, not long ago, her family first sold some antique ornaments, then sold two houses, and recently her parents suspended her bank card. When Shen Yan asked her family, they only said that they needed money for recent investments.

Shen Yan leaned closer and whispered, "Xinghe, how about this? I'll transfer 100 million to you directly. We can forget about the fourth point."

"One million? You think you can just give me a break..."

Before Ye Xinghe could finish speaking, Shen Yan quickly raised the price to 500 million.

"You truly are a fine child raised by the Shen family of Beijing! You're quite adept at bribery."

Ye Xinghe deliberately emphasized the words "Shen family of Beijing," because Shen Yan had previously tried to use her family to suppress her, but she wouldn't fall for that.

Especially since a family that rose to power through abuse of power dared to threaten and belittle the Ye family, Ye Xinghe was even more furious when she thought about it.

“Miss Shen from the capital, call your father now and ask him if he can get 500 million yuan to do something for you. Your family spends so much money on bribes every year, you should know the current market rate better than I do, right? Didn’t he teach you this lesson?”

"Ye Xinghe, what nonsense are you spouting! This is slander!" Shen Yan stepped forward to cover Ye Xinghe's mouth, but was grabbed by her hand.

"You know it's slander, yet you still dare to spread rumors about me! Do you think I, Ye Xinghe, am easy to bully?! Do you think I'm like those people you bullied before?!"

Ye Xinghe became more and more excited as she spoke, and she kept increasing the pressure on Shen Yan's wrist until it bled.

"Let me tell you, Shen Yan, you've messed with the wrong person! You'll never know the pain until you've been stabbed yourself!"

"Everything is ready for you. You can start the first three things in a bit. I'll give you three days for the 5000 million. Don't try anything funny with me. Otherwise, I'll personally go to your dad's house and have a good talk about this."

Shen Yan suddenly widened her eyes, "Wasn't it 2000 million? How did it become 5000 million?"

A hint of disdain flashed in Ye Xinghe's eyes, and her tone was tinged with annoyance, "Because I'm unhappy! You keep haggling with me again and again, it's really annoying!"

"The renowned Shen family of the capital, how laughable!"

After Ye Xinghe finished speaking, she forcefully flung Shen Yan to the ground. Then she threw a bag of things she had prepared for her at her.

Shen Yan knew she couldn't escape. Ye Xinghe's situation was manageable, but Hua Qingmeng would definitely not let her go.

Her only hope now is to tell her family the truth and ask her grandfather to plead with the Hua family on her behalf.

Shen Yan took her things to the lounge and called her grandfather. She made several calls before her mother finally answered.

"Yanyan, your grandfather is sick and hospitalized. Stay safe in Jiangyang and don't cause any trouble."

Before Shen Yan could even speak, her mother came up and told her about the family situation. It turned out that whenever Shen Yan called her grandfather, she was either asking for money or getting into trouble again.

Shen Yan didn't even ask about her grandfather's condition. "Mom, transfer 5000 million to me now."

Shen's mother sternly refused, "What do you need so much money for! There's not much money left in the family, so you should spend less in the future. Now that you're working, the family won't give you any more pocket money."

Shen Yan said urgently, "Mom, what can you do with such a small salary every month! I'm working in Jiangyang now, and I need to buy a house and a car. Please transfer the money to me quickly."

Shen's mother gently persuaded, "Yanyan, you still have five million in your account, why not buy a small apartment to live in first?"

Shen Yan started throwing a tantrum, "How am I supposed to live in such a small house! And I still need to buy a car, clothes, and bags. I can't wear the same clothes every day while working at Huashi. Can't I even come up with 5000 million right now?!"

Shen's mother lowered her voice, "When have we ever mistreated you? We really don't have any money right now. Or if you win over Hua Qingmeng, you'll have everything."

“You’re all grown up now, and there are some things you should know. Let me tell you the truth, something has happened at home recently, and we’re trying to figure out how to handle it. Your grandfather is so worried that he’s been hospitalized. If we can’t get through this, our family will be completely ruined. We won’t even have 5000, let alone 5 million. Now you’re on your own.”

After finishing her sentence, Shen's mother hung up the phone.

Shen Yan never expected such a serious change to happen in her family. She had been pampered since childhood, never experiencing hardship, and practically ruled the roost at home. If the Shen family truly fell into ruin, then there was no point in her living.

So, Shen Yan made a tough decision and simply left Jiangyang, buying a plane ticket to return to Beijing.

At noon, Wang Nana came over to invite Ye Xinghe to lunch.

"This is for you." Wang Nana took out a small box containing a USB flash drive.

"This is a job gift from my mom. She said that people in our line of work should have a good USB drive and keep multiple backups so that they don't lose the designs they've worked so hard to create."

Looking at Wang Nana's innocent appearance, Ye Xinghe felt that she was very similar to Zhao Xuanxuan.

"You can take it. My mom bought me two, and I have one too."

After Wang Nana finished speaking, she took out her USB drive and showed it to Ye Xinghe.

Ye Xinghe smiled sweetly. "Thank you, I really like this gift."

Wang Nana held Ye Xinghe's hand, "Don't take Shen Yan's words to heart today. I believe you're not that kind of person. Don't be upset. If anyone dares to talk about you in the future, I'll teach them a lesson for you!"

"I'm fine. I'll just beat her up."

Ye Xinghe smiled at her, thinking to herself, "Then why didn't you come up and help me earlier? What are you talking to me about the future now?"

Wang Nana covered her mouth with one hand, feigning mystery, "Li Jing from their group is such a blabbermouth. She's the one who spread the rumor that Shen Yan is the chairman's girlfriend. She even came to tell me about it in the break room yesterday. I don't know where she heard it from."

Ye Xinghe didn't want to continue gossiping about this topic. Although she disliked Shen Yan, she didn't want to talk about others behind their backs. "Maybe, like Shen Yan, it's all fabricated by herself."

Ye Xinghe didn't want to say too much to Wang Nana, after all, they had only known each other for two days. Although her appearance and personality were very similar to Zhao Xuanxuan's, the relationship between colleagues couldn't compare to that between classmates, especially since they were now competitors.

If it were Zhao Xuanxuan, she would have rushed to help me, instead of making empty promises afterwards.

The next day, Ye Xinghe gave her a set of Ye's skincare products as a return gift.
