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

Chapter 121 Obtaining the Gold Mine

A look of surprise flashed across Shen Huihao's face. His mouth opened and closed for a long time before he finally spoke, "Miss Ye, you must be joking. Even if I, Shen, were sold, I still couldn't buy a gold mine."

Ye Xinghe curled her lips slightly, her contemptuous gaze sweeping over the Shen family of three. "You're definitely not worth that much money. Don't even mention you, even if you added your wife and children together, it wouldn't be enough."

"Mr. Shen, whether you can acquire that gold mine or not, we both know perfectly well. The owner of the Jiaocheng Sanshan Mine, Li Dacai, male, 58 years old this year, his mother, Shen..."

"Alright, alright, Miss Ye," Shen Huihao quickly interrupted, "Give me some time to think about it."

Shen Huihao was surprised that Ye Xinghe had even investigated his gold mine. It was one of the bribes he had received over a decade ago. To avoid suspicion, the gold mine was registered under his half-brother's name. Shen Huihao's brother was a simple farmer, and upon hearing that he could become a factory manager and earn tens of thousands of yuan a month without doing anything, he was naturally very willing.

In reality, his brother was just a puppet leader; all the real power was in Shen Huihao's hands. When something went wrong at the mine, his brother took the blame. All the profits went into Shen Huihao's own pocket.

If the authorities investigate, this mine could be considered the Shen family's last lifeline. They could live comfortably for the rest of their lives with it.

Mrs. Shen, who was standing to the side, could no longer sit still. "Miss Ye, although that mine is related to our family in some way, the connection is really not that great, and we can't just give it away like that. Our family is also sincere in wanting to resolve this matter. How about this, I'll give you all the assets that our family can currently afford."

"Sure," Ye Xinghe smiled, a slight nod in her eyes, making her look much more amiable. "Plus that mine."

Shen Huihao's expression changed drastically, and he slammed his hand on the table. "Miss Ye, don't you think you've gone too far by raising the stakes time and time again?"

"Get this straight! It was your Shen family that bullied me first! And I can't even fight back? I proposed a solution, and after your Shen family agreed, you kept breaking the contract. Do you really think I, Ye Xinghe, am young and easy to bully?" Ye Xinghe stared directly at Shen's father, her gaze sharp and unyielding.

After a while, no one spoke in the living room, except for the occasional sob of Shen Yan.

Mr. Shen snorted coldly, picked up his teacup, and calmly took a sip. “Miss Ye, although Shen Yan is my daughter, you have been making exorbitant demands and pushing your luck time and time again. You can do whatever you want with Shen Yan. At worst, I will support her for the rest of her life. But I must remind you, the Shen family is not to be trifled with in the capital.”

"The Shen family's words are a gross underestimation of the Hua family." Hua Qingmeng's authoritative voice was filled with displeasure and dissatisfaction.

"Ye Xinghe is my friend. To dare to disrespect her is to disrespect the Hua family."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly sending a chill down Shen Huihao's spine. He could use his influence in the capital to suppress and bully Ye Xinghe, but he dared not show the slightest disrespect to the Hua family.

Shen Yan, who had been kneeling, never expected her father to say such cruel things, especially in front of her!

Shen Yan got up from the ground and punched Shen Huihao several times like a madwoman before running upstairs quickly.

Ye Xinghe smiled gently, toying with the phone in her hand as she looked down. "So, Mr. Shen is thinking of just giving up entirely?"

"That's fine. I just wonder if Shen Yan will be particularly eager to talk before she loses her tongue, and while she can still speak, she'll say things she should or shouldn't say. Like how she got this house, how much savings she has, and what kind of shady income she has..."

Shen Huihao's face darkened several shades, instantly turning a purplish-brown.

He knew Ye Xinghe's words weren't entirely unfounded; judging from the blows Shen Yan had just struck him, she had really gone all out. Knowing he was going to abandon her, she might actually say something. This was already a sensitive time; if Shen Yan were to expose his bribery to protect herself, it wasn't impossible. Given Hua Qingmeng's ruthless and merciless nature, the Shen family in the capital would surely be completely destroyed.

The Shen family is currently facing a double whammy of internal and external troubles, and they absolutely cannot afford any more mistakes. They cannot confront Ye Xinghe head-on.

Shen Huihao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and put on a fawning smile. "Well, Second Master Hua, our two families have been on good terms for generations. You see... can we talk about this matter again? Shen Yan is just young and doesn't know any better. Considering it's her first offense, let's give her another chance. I've told her to complete the punishments Miss Ye mentioned immediately. As parents, we certainly have a responsibility, and we won't renege on our promise. We'll do our best to compensate Miss Ye."

Hua Qingmeng glanced at him with disdain, "Shen Yan spread rumors that she was my girlfriend, which is why I wanted to cut off her tongue. It was Miss Ye who pleaded for me, which is why I agreed not to cut it off. These are two different things."

Ye Xinghe raised an eyebrow, looking at Shen Huihao with great interest. "Mr. Shen, let's not waste any more time. You can choose between a gold mine or Shen Yan's tongue. Let's decide today. I'm a fickle person, and I might change my mind again in another day."

Shen Huihao was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I agree to give you the gold mine. It's the weekend now, I'll have someone draft the transfer contract on Monday."

"No need for that." Ye Xinghe took out her phone and made a call. Qiao Lin came in from outside, carrying a stack of documents.

"The Ye family's legal department has already drafted it. There's also an identical one at the Sanshan Mine in Jiaocheng. Once Mr. Shen confirms it, give them a call, and the lawyer will arrive within ten minutes."

Shen Huihao was filled with bitterness. It turned out that Ye Xinghe had already planned everything, just waiting for him to hand over the mine. He originally wanted to get rid of Ye Xinghe first, and then delay for a few more months by saying that the procedures were too complicated, so that he could work overtime to mine the gold mine during this time.

But given the current situation, he had no reason to delay any longer. The mine, though not large, was worth nearly a billion! He had no choice but to gamble—gamble that he could safely pass the inspection. As long as the Shen family remained firmly in power, killing Ye Xinghe would be as easy as killing an ant.

After reviewing the document, Shen Huihao called the mine.

In less than 20 minutes, Ye Xinghe received the signed and stamped contract, along with photos of various documents.
