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

After Shen Yan made her order, she handed the menu to Ye Xinghe.

After Ye Xinghe took it, she handed it to Zhao Xuanxuan, saying, "Xuanxuan, Brother Mofan is treating today. Order whatever you want to eat."

After speaking, he smiled and looked up at the two people opposite him.

Ye Xinghe's eyes were alluring, and she deliberately called him in a very intimate tone. She wanted to know what the relationship was between Shen Yan, who came from the capital, and Chu Mofan.

Ye Xinghe looked down at the menu with Zhao Xuanxuan, but out of the corner of her eye, she could clearly feel Shen Yan watching her. Every time she looked up, she could see Shen Yan quickly looking away.

Could it be that she really has feelings for Chu Mofan?

After the dishes were ordered, Shen Yan couldn't help but say, "Miss Ye, I just noticed the little red pouch you're wearing around your neck. It's so cute. A while ago, a good friend of mine was wearing one too, and it was exactly the same as yours."

Ye Xinghe looked down and realized that her purse had somehow popped out of her clothes. "Just call me Xinghe. This is a little trinket a friend gave me, saying it's for good luck."

Shen Yan's eyes lit up, and she looked delighted. "Could you please ask your friend where they bought this?"

Ye Xinghe appeared calm and collected, but she was actually in a dilemma.

The purse was a free gift with the gold pendant she bought before, and it contained a talisman that Hua Qingmeng had given her. Where was she supposed to find out where she bought it?

Ye Xinghe smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask for you."

During the meal, the group chatted, and Ye Xinghe learned that Shen Yan's family were all involved in government. Her parents held important positions in the Beijing government. Her uncle was the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection in Jiangyang City. Although not the highest-ranking leader in the provincial party committee, he still held a powerful position. No wonder Chu Mofan was so eager to curry favor with her.

Chu Mofan knew the family situations of several leaders in his unit very well. He had already found out that Shen Yan was coming to work in Jiangyang, so he took the initiative to build a relationship with the leaders and took on the task of receiving her.

He had hoped to use his relationship with Shen Yan to improve his connection with his superiors and quickly advance his career. Unexpectedly, he encountered Ye Xinghe here. Shen Yan barely spoke to him; instead, she seemed more interested in Ye Xinghe and the necklace around her neck.

Ye Xinghe also noticed that this young lady from the capital didn't seem to be interested in Chu Mofan. She kept asking about herself in roundabout ways.

Ye Xinghe disliked this way of talking, so she said bluntly, "To tell you the truth, this pouch is actually a container for a gold pendant. Inside is a talisman that a friend gave me. Because I always forget to carry it with me, I put it in here and wear it around my neck."

"I really like this purse on the outside. What brand is the packaging?" Shen Yan continued to press for details.

“It’s a local gold brand in Jiangyang, Huicui Gold Shop.” Ye Xinghe turned the purse over to show her, where two small characters were embroidered: “Huicui”.

Shen Yan smiled gracefully, "I was just thinking of looking at gold jewelry too. Are you free later? Shall we go shopping together?"

Ye Xinghe glanced at Zhao Xuanxuan, and seeing that she agreed, she nodded in agreement as well.

Chu Mofan declined, citing work commitments for the afternoon. While it might seem impressive to see a grown man shopping with three beautiful women, it wouldn't be appropriate for him not to offer to pay if they took a liking to something.

"Ladies, I have some things to do at work this afternoon, so I won't be able to keep you company. Xinghe, please take good care of Miss Shen for me."

Ye Xinghe smiled faintly, "That's natural."

Hui Cui Gold Shop is located on the first floor of Wanmao City.

After entering the store, Shen Yan went straight to the point, "I want to buy a gold pendant, could you please show me a few?"

The sales clerk brought out a tray of pendants and specially recommended several that would suit her.

Shen Yan glanced around casually and picked out a flower-shaped pendant. "This one will do. Wrap it up for me."

The sales clerk took out packaging from under the counter to pack the items, but Shen Yan suddenly interrupted, "Wait, I don't want this packaging."

Then she gestured for Ye Xinghe to take out her purse.

"I want the same packaging as hers."

The sales clerk glanced at it and smiled politely, "Ma'am, this was our old packaging. We switched to these small boxes at the beginning of this year. The old packaging is no longer available."

Shen Yan's eyes suddenly showed disappointment, seemingly mixed with a hint of anger, and she slowly said two words, "Fine."

At this moment, Ye Xinghe, who was standing next to her, was very puzzled. She felt that Shen Yan did not want to buy the pendant, but only wanted the packaging.

After leaving the shop, Ye Xinghe noticed that Shen Yan wasn't in a very good mood, so she said to her, "I'll go home and look again. If I still have this purse, I'll give you one."

Shen Yan forced a smile. "Never mind, that's not important."

After saying that, he bid farewell to Ye Xinghe and Zhao Xuanxuan.

After Shen Yan walked away, Zhao Xuanxuan whispered, "Xinghe, don't you think Shen Yan is strange?"

Ye Xinghe glanced at Shen Yan's retreating figure. "Yes, why does she insist on having this purse? And even though I offered to give it to her, she refused."

“I don’t think she wants the purse; she wants to find out where she bought it,” Zhao Xuanxuan said with a serious expression. “Don’t you think her situation is a bit like a wife finding out her husband is wearing a necklace, and at the same time, discovering that his mistress is wearing the same one? And the wife insists on finding out the truth!”

Ye Xinghe reached out and pinched Zhao Xuanxuan's cheek. "Can't you even give an example? Are you saying I'm a mistress?!"

"Ouch—ouch—!!" Zhao Xuanxuan covered her cheek and glanced at Ye Xinghe. "Your pinching reminded me of something."

“A few days ago, my dad told me that Jiang Yan had been released.”

Ye Xinghe was suddenly startled and looked at her in disbelief, "Jiang Yan is involved in such a large amount of money, and she's being released so quickly?"

Zhao Xuanxuan rubbed her face and said, "Yes. My dad said the compensation has been paid, the fine has been paid, and in the end, he was given a suspended sentence. Now he can't leave his original residence. He must have found someone to help him."

Ye Xinghe couldn't help but think that Jiang Yan's quick release indicated she had some tricks up her sleeve. One could also say her biological father was quite shrewd!

Zhao Xuanxuan added, "I heard she's planning to reopen the shop!"

Ye Xinghe sneered, "Still selling counterfeit goods? If she's not afraid of being punished, then let her keep selling them."

“No, this time it’s a transformation. It seems like she’s going to open a jewelry store.” Zhao Xuanxuan took out her phone and opened Jiang Yan’s WeChat Moments. “Look, it seems to have some kind of mystical energy, the kind that can change your luck.”

Ye Xinghe took the phone and saw that Jiang Yan had started updating three days ago. Most of the jewelry designs were ethnic in style. One of them looked very familiar; she had seen it at Ajarn Narong's shop before.
