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

Chapter 122 The Ruthlessness of Shen's Mother

Ye Xinghe looked at her phone, a genuine smile finally appearing on her face. She stood up and walked towards the door. "Mr. Shen, I won't say goodbye to you. I wish you a smooth career! A good public servant of the people."

After saying that, he turned and left the Shen family home, returning to his car.

Shen Huihao gritted his teeth in hatred. That damned girl! She didn't forget to mock him before leaving.

"Second Master, please wait a moment." Shen Huihao called out to Hua Qingmeng, smiling ingratiatingly. "I want to ask you about something. Have you heard anything about the recent inspection team from above? Could you offer some guidance?"

Hua Qingmeng turned around coldly, giving him a look as icy as ice. "You know I can't reveal any information about what's going on above. But you're a good public servant, so don't worry too much. The higher-ups won't wrongly kill an innocent person, nor will they let a bad one go free."

"Also, my grandfather is getting old and doesn't want to get involved in these things. You don't need to bother having Old Master Shen go to him again. If I find out, I won't care about anyone's feelings."

Hua Qingmeng returned to the car and said to Lin Hao in a serious tone, "Hurry up and arrange for someone to keep an eye on Shen Huihao. He can't afford any accidents during this period."

Mr. Shen returned to the living room with a deathly pale face.

Enraged, Shen's mother roared at him, "How could you agree to give her the gold mine! It's our family's last hope! What are we going to do now! If something happens to you, how are we supposed to live?!"

"Shut up!" Shen Huihao slapped her across the face, pointing his finger at her nose and yelling, "Isn't it all because of your good daughter! If she hadn't caused trouble, would I have given away a gold mine worth ten billion?!"

"Don't say such discouraging things! I, Shen Huihao, will be fine! Our Shen family will be fine too! I'm going out to find someone right now!"

Shen Huihao held his phone, scrolling through his contacts, when suddenly his eyes lit up. "Go upstairs now and have Shen Yan get dressed up nicely! We're going out tonight."

Sitting on the ground, Shen's mother covered her face and shouted, "What are you doing! Are you really going to give your daughter to that mentally challenged son of the municipal party secretary?"

Mr. Shen stepped forward and covered her mouth, lowering his voice, "What else can we do now! Do you have any better ideas?! If I really go in, will you and Shen Yan starve?"

He helped Shen's mother up from the ground, gently rubbing her face and comforting her, "As long as I stay in this position, you and your daughter will have a good life. It's not a bad deal for Yan Yan to marry him. He may be a little simple-minded, but he treats Yan Yan well and she'll never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of her life. That's enough."

Mrs. Shen sighed and slowly walked upstairs. She knocked on the door for a long time before Shen Yan finally opened it for her.

"Yanyan, the matter has been resolved, you're alright now." Shen's mother said with tears in her eyes, as she brushed Shen Yan's hair aside. "Your father wants you to get ready so you can go out for dinner with him tonight."

Shen Yan reacted strongly, pushing away her mother's hand, "Where are you going? Are you going to see that secretary's idiotic son?"

Shen's mother turned her head away and gently wiped away her tears. "Yanyan, I'm powerless to help you. If something really happens to our family this time, we'll have nothing left. All our property, the house, the car—we'll have to hand them over, and from now on, it'll just be the two of us, mother and daughter, relying on each other."

Shen Yan's eyes widened in anger, her emotions running high. "We have hands and feet, we can earn money again! In the end, my dad was only doing it for himself."

"Yanyan, Mommy I..." Tears welled up in Shen's mother's eyes, and she hesitated to speak.

"Your mother asked you, do you want revenge? When your father said he was going to hand you over to Ye Xinghe, did you hate him?"

Shen Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and veins bulged on her forehead. "Of course I want revenge! I wish I could kill Ye Xinghe right now! My father..."

Shen Yan hesitated slightly, "He probably just wanted to intimidate Ye Xinghe at the time. He wouldn't really hand me over."

Shen's mother wiped away her tears, closed her eyes slightly, seemingly about to make a major decision. A moment later, she opened her eyes, staring at Shen Yan with coldness in her gaze.

"If your father would marry you off to that stupid son, what else wouldn't he do!"

"Mom has an idea now. This matter must not be known to a third person."

"Stage an accident to kill your father."

"What?" Shen Yan stared at her mother in disbelief, her mouth agape.

Shen's mother said calmly, "Given the amount of money our family has embezzled over the years, it's a foregone conclusion that your father will be sentenced."

Shen Yan asked quietly, "But in our country, isn't the crime of embezzlement and bribery punishable by death?"

"No, but all property will be confiscated." Mother Shen's face remained expressionless.

“I’ve inquired and found out that if a person dies before trial, they won’t be tried. Since there’s no trial, they’re not a criminal. Some of our family’s hidden illegal income won’t be investigated, and we can keep those assets. The remaining assets are enough for my daughter and me to live comfortably.”

"Furthermore, since your father wasn't convicted, it won't affect your future job. Do you want to live your whole life in the shadow of your father being a corrupt official? Who will hire you in the future? Will your colleagues talk about you behind your back?"

Shen's mother held Shen Yan's hand and said earnestly, "Yan Yan, I'm doing all this for your future. If you want revenge and don't want to live that kind of hard life, then you should think carefully about what I'm saying."

Shen Yan choked back tears and sobbed, "But what if there's another possibility? What if my father won't be investigated? What if he'll be alright?"

Shen's mother's face turned fierce. "There's no such possibility! Yan Yan! The higher-ups have already started investigating. My information is that they'll use your father as a typical example, the first one to be targeted."

"Or, you really want to marry that foolish son."

Shen Yan covered her face with her hands and began to convulse violently, tears streaming down her face and onto the sheets.

Mother Shen gently stroked her back and pulled her into her arms. "Yanyan, this is the only way. I've dedicated my whole life to you."

"I'll go down and keep your dad calm for now. Don't give anything away these next few days. If he agrees, we'll find an opportunity to make our move next week."

Shen's mother came downstairs with a helpless smile on her face.

Mr. Shen, smoking a cigarette, frowned deeply. "How is it? Did you talk to Yan Yan? What did she mean?"

Mrs. Shen sighed softly, "Old Shen, it's not possible today. The baby is on her period, so it's not convenient for her."

"I just advised her. If you try to coax her a bit more this week, take her shopping, and buy her things, there shouldn't be any major problems."
