Reborn As Super Heiress

Zhou Mei looked down on Ye Zixin, and she also disliked how Ye Zixin shamelessly clung to her brother.

Back then, when Su Qingqing was dating Zhou Zhen, Zhou Mei thought Su Qingqing considered herself superior and looked down on her. So, she often stirred trouble by speaking ill of Su Qingqing to Zhou Zhen and Mother Zhou, ultimately causing Zhou Zhen and Su Qingqing to break up.

But now, Zhou Mei deeply regretted meddling between Zhou Zhen and Su Qingqing. If Zhou Zhen was still engaged to Su Qingqing at this moment, given the Su Family’s status, no one would dare to trouble the Zhou Family. Those business partners might not break contracts with the Zhou Family, just to maintain a good relationship with Su Zhenhua. If that were the case, no matter how business-savvy Zhou Yan might be, he wouldn’t be able to take over the Zhou Family.

It’s all because they were too short-sighted, thinking they had already secured a place in S City’s business circle and didn’t need to rely on the Su Family. Thus, when Su Qingqing and Zhou Zhen got engaged, they didn’t regard the Su Family highly. They even slandered Su Qingqing and completely turned against the Su Family when the engagement was called off.

Since Zhou Zhen cheated with Ye Zixin during the engagement, not only Su Qingqing but also Su Zhenhua and Su Jinyuan loathed the Zhou Family. Zhou Yan hollowed out the Zhou Family’s business, and it was certainly aided by the Su Family.

But now the Zhou Family is in decline, lacking the power to confront the Su Family head-on. Even when Zhou Mei sees Su Qingqing, she can’t hold her head high and can only sneak away with her tail between her legs.

Zhou Mei didn’t dare offend Su Qingqing, but because of this, she hated Ye Zixin.

She felt it was all Ye Zixin’s fault. If it weren’t for this woman seducing her brother, perhaps he’d still be on good terms with Su Qingqing, maybe even married by now. If that were the case, her brother would be the son-in-law of a secretary, and those oblivious business partners wouldn’t dare harm them as they do now.

If it weren’t for Ye Zixin, the Zhou Family wouldn’t be in this state, and she wouldn’t need to think about pleasing some foolish man. The Zhou Family’s business would still exist, and she would still be the high-standing young lady of the Zhou Family.

Zhou Mei felt this Ye Zixin was a jinx, but now this jinx actually dreams of marrying into the Zhou Family. It’s simply wishful thinking; Zhou Mei wished she could kill Ye Zixin, how could she possibly show her a good face?

Before the Zhou Family’s downfall, Zhou Mei felt that Ye Zixin suited her taste, and they were close as if they were one person. But now that they’ve fallen out, their relationship is completely torn. Seeing Ye Zixin still trying to act innocent, Zhou Mei couldn’t help but mock her. Plus, she instructed the household staff to keep an eye on the courtyard gate and not allow Ye Zixin and any dogs into the old house.

After a round of humiliation, Zhou Mei felt the disgrace and frustration from earlier at Wu Linger’s house dissipated a bit. She proudly lifted her chin at Ye Zixin, pressed the gas pedal, and sped off, leaving a trail of black exhaust on Ye Zixin’s face.

Su Qingqing was unaware of the drama at the Zhou Family Old House. She had just finished a phone call with Huo Sining, feeling delighted, and was about to invite Wu Jun for a late-night snack when suddenly her phone rang again.

She looked down at her phone screen and saw it was an unknown number. Su Qingqing hesitated for a moment, thinking it was likely a spam call, and promptly hung up.

But the person on the other end was persistent. Seeing Su Qingqing hang up, they didn’t give up and called again, showing no signs of abandoning their attempt.

Su Qingqing found it strange. Seeing the number repeatedly dialing four or five times with the intention to continue, she reluctantly answered the call.

”Who is this?”

Su Qingqing asked impatiently.

There was silence on the other end.

Su Qingqing checked her phone, confirming the call was indeed connected, and frowned slightly: ”Speak, if you don’t, I’ll hang up!”

”Wait...”

A faint female voice suddenly came from the other end.

Su Qingqing’s mind flashed with a realization, instantly understanding who the call was from, and her expression turned dark.

”Qingqing, it’s me. Can you hold off on hanging up? I... I just want to talk, nothing else.”

The female voice carried the Ye family’s unique softness and warmth, mixed with a hint of timidity and grievance. It was the same familiar formula, the same familiar taste; even turned to ashes, Su Qingqing would recognize it.

”Ye Zixin, is there anything left for us to talk about? I don’t care what you want, sorry, I’m not interested.”

Su Qingqing’s lips pressed together lightly, bitterness spilling into her eyes.

”Please, I... I’m calling to apologize, Qingqing. I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have been with Zhou Zhen back then, hurting a good friend for a man. I deserve punishment. I admit I was blinded by selfishness, ruining your love and friendship.”

”All these years, I’ve been regretting and reflecting. I’ve realized, compared to love, friendship is actually more important. I’ve broken up with Zhou Zhen, Qingqing. I’m giving Zhou Zhen back to you. Can we continue being good friends?”

Su Qingqing truly didn’t have the time to waste on Ye Zixin. Back then, she was genuinely heartfelt, treating her as a good friend, a true confidante.

But how did this woman repay her?

On the surface, she laughed and joked while secretly seducing her fiancé.

Even though Zhou Zhen was insincere and repulsive, Su Qingqing truly cared for him at that time. A fiancé and a close friend, these two having an affair, then standing on moral high ground to blame her—an utterly shameless and laughable situation.

After being stabbed in the back by these two, Su Qingqing severed ties with them completely. Regarding Ye Zixin, she gave up entirely, pretending never to have known her.

For years, Ye Zixin probably knew she was wrong, and adhered to the principle of not disgracing herself. Practically avoiding wherever Su Qingqing was and not daring to provoke her, they kept a peaceful distance.

Now, Su Qingqing was deeply involved with Wu Jun, having moved on from the past, not interested in dealing with Ye Zixin—a minor character.

But she hadn’t expected, while she wasn’t seeking trouble with Ye Zixin, this shameless woman would cling on again, trying to earn her sympathy by acting pitiful.

Does this woman perhaps think Su Qingqing is still the naive person she once was, easy to manipulate? Does she believe she’s the only smart person in the world, while everyone else is a fool?
