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

Ye Xinghe smiled coldly; she probably guessed what Chen Shihui meant.

So she sent Qiao Lin a message: "Change into a white T-shirt and lie down on the bed in my room. Cover yourself with the blanket. Xing Fei is in there now, so don't wake her up. Remember, no matter what Xing Fei does or how noisy she is, just ignore her and pretend to be asleep with your back to her. We'll talk about everything when I get there."

Qiao Lin: "Understood."

Ye Xinghe had already eaten her fill and was now sitting obediently at the dining table listening to the elders chat, occasionally interjecting a word.

"Aunt Chen, now that you're back in China, what will happen to the company in Japan? Will you still be able to do business?"

Chen Shihui looked at Ye Xinghe with a half-smile. She had interrupted Mu Jinyue several times when she tried to inquire about her company, but Ye Xinghe had asked directly.

“We at Xinghe all know to care about Auntie’s business. The company over there has already stopped operating.”

Ye Xinghe smiled sweetly, "Aunt Chen has the skills and the craftsmanship, so it's the same if she comes back and starts another company."

“Auntie is getting old and can’t work anymore. I’m planning to retire early once I’ve earned enough for your sister Xing Fei’s dowry.” Chen Shihui didn’t want to continue discussing this topic with her, so she turned her gaze to Mu Jinyue, “Jinyue, when do you plan to retire?”

Before Mu Jinyue could speak, Ye Xinghe continued with a slightly regretful expression, "That's a real pity. You've been running your company for so many years and have accumulated a lot of customer resources. Isn't that all being wasted?"

Chen Shihui's face suddenly darkened. Ye Xinghe's words had just set a trap for her, and she had already fallen into it.

If she doesn't start her own company and doesn't share her resources with Mu Jinyue, then she's being very unfaithful as a friend. If she does start her own company, then she shouldn't have taken other people's design drawings in the first place. No matter how close the relationship, if you're not in the same company, looking at someone else's design drawings violates industry rules; it's a major taboo in this industry.

Chen Shihui's mind raced, and she couldn't come up with a reasonable answer for the time being, so she could only pretend to have a headache from drinking too much to get by.

However, Ye Xinghe was already pretty sure of Chen Shihui's answer based on her current reaction.

Sometimes silence is the answer.

Just then, a loud door slammed shut upstairs, and Xing Fei, her hair disheveled and her dress unbuttoned, ran downstairs and rushed into Chen Shihui's arms.

"What's wrong, baby? Did you have a nightmare?" Chen Shihui gently patted Xing Fei's back to comfort her. "Are you sober now?"

Xing Fei didn't say a word, but just leaned on Chen Shihui's shoulder and cried loudly.

Seeing her crying so sadly, Mu Jinyue felt it wasn't just a simple nightmare. "Feifei, tell Auntie, what did you see in the room again?"

Xing Fei left Chen Shihui's embrace, looking at Mu Jinyue with a wronged expression, "Aunt Mu, just now Xingchen..."

Upon hearing that it was related to Xingchen, Ye Minghan immediately asked loudly, "What happened to Xingchen? Tell your uncle."

Xing Fei burst into tears, "I went upstairs just now, and I was probably drunk. I couldn't remember which floor it was, so I went up one floor too far and ended up in Ye Xingchen's room."

"My head was throbbing, so I lay down on the bed and fell asleep. And just now..."

Xing Fei was crying uncontrollably, which made Ye Minghan very anxious.

Ye Xinghe brought over a bowl of hangover soup from the kitchen. "Sister Xingfei, drink this and your headache will go away. We'll talk after you finish."

Xing Fei held the bowl and sipped the water slowly, her mood calming down a little.

Mr. Ye asked again, and Xing Fei, choking back tears, slowly said, "I was half asleep when I suddenly felt someone taking off my clothes. I tried to stop them, but I had no strength at all, and then he pressed down on top of me..."

"Alright! Stop talking!" Chen Shihui shouted. "Feifei, listen to your mother, it's not real, it's just a dream."

Just as Ye Xinghe was getting into the mother-daughter duo's performance, Ye Minghan suddenly shouted, "Where is Ye Xingchen now?"

Xing Fei lowered her head and remained silent.

Ye Minghan suppressed his anger. "Tell your uncle the truth. If that kid really bullied you, your uncle will definitely stand up for you!"

Xing Fei swallowed hard and whispered, "He fell asleep again after we finished, and he's still in the room."

Ye Minghan poured himself a full glass of wine, drank it down in one gulp, and then went to the study to get the "Ye Family Rules".

The Ye family's discipline method consisted of a bundle of rattan canes as thick as a wrist. Originally, it was a gift from an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor to Old Master Ye for massaging his meridians. Later, Ye Xingchen contradicted his grandfather in front of Ye Minghan, infuriating Ye Minghan, who grabbed the rattan cane and severely beat him. After that, it became the Ye family's method of disciplining their children.

Ye Xinghe grabbed Xing Fei's shoulders with both hands and said anxiously, "Sister Xing Fei, if you really like my second brother and don't want to see him beaten to death, you should go upstairs right now and stop my dad!"

As soon as they finished speaking, Ye Xinghe and Xing Fei rushed up to the third floor, and Mu Jinyue and Chen Shihui followed closely behind.

When the group arrived on the third floor, Ye Minghan also came up.

Xing Fei stepped forward and grabbed Ye Minghan's arm. "Uncle Ye, please don't hit Xingchen. I really don't blame him."

Ye Minghan shook off Xing Fei's hand. "What kind of time is this to be taking his side? I have to teach this kid a lesson today!"

Chen Shihui also pretended to step forward and persuade him, "Old Ye, listen to me. The child is all grown up, you can't hit him anymore. Let's talk things out."

“Dad, let’s hear what my second brother has to say first.” Ye Xinghe stood in front of her father, spreading her arms to stop him from going any further. “What if my brother was just saying one thing and meaning another, and actually wants to be with Sister Xingfei? That would be a good thing.”

Ye Minghan's emotions calmed down a bit, and Ye Xinghe quickly gave Xing Fei a look, signaling her to open the door.

"Dad, Sister Xingfei is going to open the door now. When she goes in, please don't get angry. Let's hear what Second Brother has to say."

Ye Minghan closed his eyes slightly and nodded in agreement.

Xing Fei slowly arrived at the door of Ye Xinghe's room, just about to open it.

"Wait!!" Ye Xinghe suddenly shouted, interrupting her actions, "Are you sure this is the room?"

Xing Fei's voice was firm, "I'm sure, I'm perfectly sober right now. The sheets and blankets are light blue."

Mr. and Mrs. Ye looked at each other, their faces full of suspicion.

Ye Xinghe calmly said, "Okay, then open the door."

The group arrived at the door and saw a person lying on the bed, completely covered by a blanket, with only the back of their head showing.
