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

Hua Qingmeng glanced at Lin Hao calmly and said, "Making a fuss over nothing."

Lin Hao looked a little nervous and leaned close to Hua Qingmeng, asking in a low voice, "Did you inform your sister-in-law about the flight time change?"

Hua Qingmeng frowned slightly. They had originally booked a flight back to Jiangyang at noon today. However, due to Ye Xinghe's sudden high fever, they decided to postpone it to 7 pm. But no one informed Su Nanqing.

He turned his back to Ye Xinghe and asked, "Is she alone? Did my older brother come?"

Lin Hao said softly, "Just her alone."

Hua Qingmeng glanced at his phone; there were over a dozen missed calls. Last night, he had kept it on silent mode so as not to wake Ye Xinghe, and he had been working all morning without checking his phone.

Didn't she call you?

Lin Hao shook his head and took out his phone to show Hua Qingmeng.

"What are you two whispering about? Should we be leaving now?" Ye Xinghe's voice was a little hoarse and weak.

"It's still early, you should eat something first," Hua Qingmeng replied, then lowered her voice and said to Lin Hao, "It's okay, don't worry about Su Nanqing for now. You can go out and do what you need to do."

Then, he went to Ye Xinghe's side and asked, "Do you have the strength to get out of bed now?"

Ye Xinghe looked surprised, not understanding the meaning behind his question.

Without waiting for her reply, Hua Qingmeng picked her up and carried her to the room opposite.

Ye Xinghe struggled in his arms, "What are you doing! Put me down! Put me down..."

Hua Qingmeng held her tightly, placed her on the bed, and covered her mouth with his hand. "Su Nanqing is downstairs. If you don't want her to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings, don't speak loudly."

Ye Xinghe pushed him away and rushed barefoot to the bathroom. The struggle she had just endured made her really want to use the toilet.

When Ye Xinghe passed by the mirror, she was stunned! She knew she was sick and her complexion wouldn't be very good, but at the very least, she would be a frail, sickly beauty.

However, her face now looks like a little cat covered in smudges; her lipstick, eyeshadow, and mascara are all smudged and caked up, her eyes are swollen like a sad frog, and her hair is a mess.

"Why didn't anyone tell me my face looked like this?!"

The thought of having faced Hua Qingmeng with such a face made her wish she could disappear from the world!

Ye Xinghe wanted to wash her face, but suddenly remembered that her things were still in the box, so she was about to leave. As a result, Hua Qingmeng blocked her at the bathroom door.

"Put your slippers on." Hua Qingmeng gave her his slippers and stood barefoot on the ground.

Ye Xinghe lowered her head and refused to look at him. "I won't wear it. Move aside."

Hua Qingmeng stopped her from leaving, saying sternly, "Put them on quickly! The ground is cold!"

Ye Xinghe still had a fever and felt the tiles under her feet were indeed very cold, so she obediently put on her slippers. She knew that she couldn't make things worse for her body, as that would only make her feel worse.

Seeing her angry expression, Hua Qingmeng asked in confusion, "Why do you hate this room so much? It's just like your home in Jiangyang!"

Ye Xinghe said awkwardly, "I've already said, I won't stay in a room that other women have stayed in."

Upon hearing this, Hua Qingmeng raised an eyebrow slightly. "You think these things were used by other women?"

"Otherwise what?!" Ye Xinghe picked up a fluffy hair tie next to the sink. "Are you going to say this is yours?"

Hua Qingmeng glanced at her, her smile showing a hint of interest.

"Come here!" Hua Qingmeng helped Ye Xinghe by the shoulder to the side of the sink, picked up a bottle of face wash and placed it in her hand. "Take a good look! It's unopened!"

I picked up a few more bottles, all brand new.

Then he pushed her to the walk-in closet, opened the wardrobe, and said, "Take a good look! The clothes here still have their tags on."

Ye Xinghe knew she had misunderstood him, but since things had come to this, she couldn't admit her mistake. So, she adopted a defiant and indignant attitude, "Well... well, your girlfriend is really something, why doesn't she take off the price tag? Does she... does she wear clothes and then have to return them?"

Hua Qingmeng crossed her arms and leaned against the wardrobe, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed as she looked at her.

Ye Xinghe felt very uncomfortable being stared at, especially since her makeup was smudged. She turned her head away and looked elsewhere.

"Hurry up and wash up, then come out for dinner."

After saying that, Hua Qingmeng stopped stopping her and instructed the servants to bring the porridge to the room.

Living room on the first floor.

"Wait a minute." Su Nanqing called to the maid, who was carrying a tray with a bowl of porridge and a few side dishes. "Where are you taking this? Where is your second young master?"

The maid bowed her head and replied, "The second young master is upstairs now and asked me to bring the porridge up."

Su Nanqing asked in confusion, "Why isn't he coming down to eat? Is he feeling unwell?"

The maid continued, "It's a guest invited by the second young master who is sick. He just woke up and wants to eat."

Su Nanqing wondered to herself, "Is she sick? A guest? Could it be that Hua Qingmeng really brought Ye Xinghe home?"

She put on a gentle and kind expression. "Let's go, I'll go up with you to take a look. Qingmeng doesn't know how to take care of people."

Su Nanqing followed the maid into the room, just as Hua Qingmeng opened the door. Both of them were startled when they saw each other. At that moment, Ye Xinghe had just finished washing her face and came out of the bathroom, her face pale and looking sickly.

"Sister Nanqing, what brings you here?"

"Xinghe, what's wrong with you? You look so pale." Su Nanqing appeared kind and concerned, but inwardly she was quite displeased.

It was bad enough that Ye Xinghe had to reschedule because she was sick, but no one even notified her! She couldn't even answer Hua Qingmeng's calls, leaving her to wait alone at the airport for four hours.

“I waited for you at the airport for four hours, but you didn’t come and I couldn’t get in touch with you, so I came to check on you.”

Ye Xinghe was completely confused. Hua Qingmeng had just said there was enough time, so how come Su Nanqing was already at the airport?

Hua Qingmeng quickly added, "She accompanied me to a business dinner last night, and caught a chill when we got back too late. She developed a high fever of 40 degrees Celsius in the middle of the night."

Ye Xinghe understood that he was protecting her, so she coughed a few times in response, touching her forehead, "No, I feel so dizzy."

Hua Qingmeng lowered her head and smiled faintly. She had just been arguing and talking back to herself, but now she felt uncomfortable.

Hearing this, Su Nanqing became even angrier. Hua Qingmeng showed no remorse for waiting at the airport for four hours, and was even making excuses for Ye Xinghe. He was always very punctual, never delaying his flight even when he was sick, yet he had delayed for so long for Ye Xinghe! If she hadn't come to check on him, who knows how long she would have had to wait!

Moreover, how would he know that Ye Xinghe had a fever in the middle of the night?
