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

Upon hearing Ye Xinghe's words, Li Dalong's sister, Li Xia, instantly turned green with anger. This brat, though young, is truly difficult to deal with.

Ye Xinghe seemed to think the matter hadn't escalated enough, so she slowly approached Li Xia and asked in a relaxed tone, "How much of the Li family's vast fortune belongs to you, Ms. Li?"

"If you want to be friends with me, Ye Xinghe, you have to show some sincerity."

Ye Xinghe's words sounded like he was negotiating terms, but they hit Li Xia right where it hurt the most.

The Li family has always favored sons over daughters.

Li Xia started helping her family as soon as she came of age, displaying exceptional abilities. Later, the family business flourished. However, no matter how capable she was, she was never destined to inherit the Li family business, simply because she was a girl!

Her good-for-nothing younger brother, Li Dalong, only knew how to indulge in debauchery and hang out with a bunch of scoundrels, caring about nothing and only causing trouble all day. Even so, in the end, the Li family's assets would still be left to him, simply because he was a man.

Ye Xinghe's words just now were a clear mockery of her! She was nothing more than a tool for the Li family, with no right to inherit anything.

However, Li Xia was far more capable than her good-for-nothing brother, and she quickly composed herself. She understood that the Ye family was not to be trifled with. If she could establish a connection with the Ye family, even if it cost her some money, the deal would be worthwhile.

Li Xia adopted a humble attitude and said with a slight smile, "Miss Ye, it is indeed my Li family's fault for being negligent today. I apologize to you first."

"We'll do our best to cooperate with whatever solution you're looking for."

Ye Xinghe was satisfied with Li Xia's words and was about to reply when Li Dalong on the stage, like a mad dog, roared and charged towards Ye Xinghe.

"You've gone too far! Do you even know that Jiangyuan is my territory?! Men! Seize this slut! Tie her up and take her to my room!"

Immediately, the entire auditorium began to stir, and people gathered from both the front and back.

Qiao Lin adopted a posture of being ready to attack at any moment, pacing back and forth around Ye Xinghe.

Ye Minghan, who was off the field, urged Ye Xingchen to call the police immediately, while he himself rushed forward to protect his daughter.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two gunshots rang out, and the entire auditorium fell silent, followed by a chorus of shouts from the crowd.

"Bang!" Another gunshot rang out.

"Quiet down! All of you stay where you are!"

The man who fired the shot shouted, and the entire place fell silent instantly.

Ye Xinghe found the voice very familiar. When she turned around, she saw Lin Hao wearing sunglasses, a floral shirt and shorts, with one hand in his pocket and the other holding a gun towards the ceiling, standing at the entrance.

Lin Hao winked at Ye Xinghe, put down his gun, and walked towards her, saying as he went:

"Everyone, get back to your seats! Sit where you were before! Don't take other people's seats! If you don't have a seat, stay where you are!"

As Lin Hao drew closer, Ye Xinghe noticed Hua Qingmeng and Gu Chuan behind him. The two were dressed quite normally, both in black suits.

Just as the group of henchmen who had been called up by Li Dalong were about to retreat, Lin Hao fired a few more shots, missing their targets but hitting them right at their feet.

"Do any of you have seats?! Didn't you understand what I just said?!"

The group dared not move again, and all squatted down with their heads in their hands.

Ye Xinghe didn't know how they had appeared, and kept her eyes fixed on Hua Qingmeng, hoping to get an answer from him.

Hua Qingmeng met her gaze, raised one corner of her mouth in a faint smile, then stood side by side with Ye Xinghe and whispered, "I knew you'd cause trouble."

"I was on vacation at the beach when Hua Lao Er called me back. How about it? Was that a grand entrance?" Lin Hao leaned closer, glanced at Li Dalong squatting on the ground, then looked at Ye Xinghe incredulously and whispered, "What's going on? Are you here to steal the bride?! You're way too old!"

Ye Xinghe ignored him, closed her eyes speechlessly, and took a deep breath.

Hua Qingmeng nodded, her tone somewhat cold, "Lin Hao, all your vacations are canceled from now on."

"Huh? Why?" Lin Hao asked, puzzled, and was about to walk over to Hua Qingmeng to ask for clarification.

Li Dalong, who had been crouching with his head in his hands, cautiously peeked out. He initially thought it was someone he had offended in the past, but realizing he didn't recognize any of the people in front of him, he tentatively asked, "Brothers, which gang are you from? I don't know..."

Lin Hao drew his gun with lightning speed and fired a shot at Li Dalong's feet. "Shut up. Get in position! Can't you see Fatty's chatting with his friends?"

"You guys chat, you guys chat." Li Dalong squatted down again, not daring to look up, and said ingratiatingly, "I just wanted to ask if you gentlemen would like to sit down and chat. I'll go get some chairs."

Hua Qingmeng held out a hand, signaling Lin Hao to be quiet, then said in a cold voice:

"Is that old bastard Li Fuping still alive? I want to see him."

Li Dalong slowly raised his head and glanced at Hua Qingmeng. He thought the young man was extremely handsome, with a pair of silver-gray phoenix eyes filled with intense killing intent. He felt a sense of familiarity with those eyes, but he couldn't quite place who they were or how they knew his father.

He felt a little uneasy under their gaze, and began to stammer, "My...my father...he...he didn't come today."

Because Li Dalong has been married and divorced too many times. And each time, he remarries just days after the divorce. Li Fuping not only doesn't attend his son's weddings, but he also doesn't care when the wedding is held or who he marries, since he'll be with someone else soon anyway. He can't afford to be angry with his son, nor can he bear the shame.

"If he's not here, call him over." Hua Qingmeng lowered her eyes, glanced at her watch, and said in a somewhat gloomy tone, "He must be here within ten minutes."

"The second young master of the Hua family in the capital wants to see him."

Li Dalong looked up again and met Hua Qingmeng's cold eyes. Memories flooded back. He scrambled to his feet in a panic and went to find his phone to call his father.

"Dad! Something's happened! You need to get to the resort right now! You have to hurry!"

"You bastard, what trouble have you gotten yourself into now?" Li Fuping was getting a massage outside at the moment, his tone very calm, because he was already used to this kind of phone call from Li Dalong.

Li Dalong was extremely anxious, and his voice trembled as he said, "Dad! Something really has happened! The second young master of the Hua family from the capital has come to the manor! He specifically wants to see you!"

"What!" Li Fuping was so shocked that he sat up abruptly from the massage bed. "Look carefully! It's the second young master? Not the eldest young master?"

Li Dalong: "Absolutely true!"
