THD Chapter 15

Miao Shuangshuang remained silent for a long while before finally finding her voice. "Why did you report the Lu family...?" she asked mechanically. Ye Xiqing tilted her head. "Isn't that normal? Two tigers can't share one mountain. Even if he hadn't done anything, I wouldn't have let him off. Let alone the fact that he took the initiative to hit me." She shrugged lightly. "Since that's the case, I'm prepared to be beaten. I just don't know whether he can bear the consequences of my retaliation." Miao Shuangshuang: ... What she had thought was a bond formed through rebirth turned out to be a dirty business war. After realizing it had all been a misunderstanding, Miao Shuangshuang gradually regained her composure. Only then did she notice that although the Lu family's downfall closely resembled what had happened in her previous life, some details were different. In her previous life, the Lu family hadn't collapsed because ...

THD Chapter 14

As a nationally renowned liquor company, the Lu family was not only a pillar of the local liquor industry but also one of the region's most profitable enterprises. The exposure of their food safety scandal therefore struck far beyond a single company. It shook the entire liquor market. Even local officials found themselves under tremendous pressure. A sweeping crackdown soon followed. Every liquor producer in the region underwent inspections. The local television stations broadcast leadership meetings daily, followed by endless public statements and apologies from industry representatives, each one vowing to carry out thorough reforms. Ye Xiqing clicked off the television. Despite the chaos surrounding her, her mood remained remarkably calm. She had indeed been fined a considerable amount of money. But she was Ye Xiqing, not an idiot. There was no way she would foolishly empty most of her savings to pay the penalties immediately. Instead, she appealed. The counterfeit-label inciden...

Of course, neither Lu Jing'an nor his father took Ye Xiqing's few provocative words seriously. In this world, strength spoke louder than anything else. Did these two naïve girls truly understand what they were up against? Compared to the Lu family, they were insignificant. So insignificant that they could be crushed with a single finger. ... In an era with little entertainment, the Spring Festival Gala was arguably the biggest event of the year, and people paid close attention to it. Miao Shuangshuang was currently at the peak of her popularity and naturally a favorite subject of gossip magazines. Rumors that she would appear on the Spring Festival Gala had been circulating for some time, yet in the end, she never made it onto the stage. It wasn't because the organizers hadn't invited her. In fact, she had already participated in rehearsals. The problem arose when the event's "investors" demanded that she promote their brand during her performance. Miao Sh...

THD Chapter 12

A perfectly good cup of tea was completely wasted on the tea table. Miao Shuangshuang wondered if she had misheard. "How much?" Hearing her question, Ye Xiqing honestly repeated, "One hundred thousand." Miao Shuangshuang: ... You really think we're close friends, huh? Before she could respond, Ye Shiying quickly stepped in to smooth things over. Although she also felt that 100,000 yuan was a bit excessive and had some reservations, they were family who had lived together for many years. They couldn't stay united when poor and then fall apart the moment they became wealthy. So Ye Shiying hurriedly advised, "Don't rush. Let's talk this through." Of course, Ye Xiqing wasn't trying to extort 100,000 yuan out of thin air. She immediately pulled out a thick notebook from behind her back and handed it to Miao Shuangshuang. "This is my account book and transaction record for the small distillery I've been running over the past few year...

"Ah—!" Miao Shuangshuang let out a sharp screech. How could she have forgotten something so important? As a result, when Miao Shuangshuang returned, she not only brought back the installers for the television and telephone, but also a child. Everyone: ... A child? The most shocked person was Ye Shimei. She hadn't grown up here—this was her sister's and brother-in-law's home. Since she wasn't familiar with the local relatives, she asked in confusion, "Whose child is this?" Miao Shuangshuang looked away and replied casually, "A friend asked me to look after their child for a few days..." Ye Shiying immediately exploded, putting down the tool in his hand. "You're talking nonsense! That's clearly that brat from the Gu family!" Miao Shuangshuang: ... Everything had gone so smoothly after her rebirth that she had almost forgotten what she was actually supposed to do after being reborn. Only after calming down did she realize tha...
