Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 975: Identifying Goods

Shen Qingyao felt like she had fallen into an endless dark abyss. The cold river water poured into her nose, and the suffocating pain was like a poisonous snake entwining her. In a trance, she saw the familiar figure on the shore. Her sister Shen Qingwan covered her face and cried falsely, her fiancé Lu Ziming hugged her shoulders and comforted her softly, and her stepmother Wang had a faint sneer on her lips. "Why..." Before Shen Qingyao's consciousness faded, her heart was full of reluctance and despair. She worked hard for the Lu family for many years and helped Lu Ziming ascend to the position of the head of the family, but in return she was pushed into the river and drowned. When she opened her eyes again, Shen Qingyao found herself lying on a soft bed, with familiar carved bed curtains, sandalwood dressing table, and bursts of magnolia fragrance wafting from the window. She sat up suddenly and looked at her sixteen-year-old self in the bronze mirror, her eyes full of shock - she was reborn and returned to the night before the coming-of-age banquet! The coming-of-age banquet was the turning point of her fate. In her previous life, she was framed at a banquet and drank wine mixed with drugs. Her innocence was ruined and she became infamous. The Lu family used this as an excuse to cancel the engagement, and she was driven out of the Shen family, wandering on the streets, and eventually died miserably. "Miss, it's time to put on your makeup." The voice of the maid Chuntao interrupted Shen Qingyao's thoughts. She took a deep breath, and a cold light flashed in her eyes. Since God gave her a chance to start over, she must make those who hurt her pay with blood! Shen Qingyao faced the bronze mirror and let Chuntao put on her makeup. She looked at the innocent face in the mirror and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth. In this life, she will no longer be a lamb to be slaughtered. On the day of the coming-of-age banquet, the Shen family was decorated with lights and guests. Shen Qingyao wore a pink skirt and a golden hairpin on her head, like a fairy descending to the earth. She walked into the banquet hall slowly, and everyone's eyes were on her. "Sister Qingyao is so radiant today." Shen Qingwan came up with a smile, but a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes. She was wearing a lavender dress and was dressed very delicately, but she looked dull in the contrast with Shen Qingyao. Shen Qingyao held her hand and said gently: "Sister is still beautiful, sister is ashamed of herself." But she sneered in her heart, why didn't she see through this hypocritical face in her previous life? Lu Ziming also came over. He looked at Shen Qingyao, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Qingyao, you are so beautiful today." Shen Qingyao smiled slightly and pulled her hand back without leaving a trace: "Mr. Lu, you are too kind." In her previous life, she was blinded by this handsome face and sweet words. Now thinking about it, she just felt sick. Halfway through the banquet, Shen Qingyao left the banquet hall on the pretext of feeling unwell. She came to the garden and hid behind the rockery. After a while, she saw a maid holding a glass of wine, sneaking towards this side. "This is what the Madam ordered. The young lady must drink it." The maid whispered. Shen Qingyao's eyes flashed coldly, and she rushed out and snatched the wine glass. The maid turned pale with fear and ran away. Shen Qingyao looked at the wine glass in her hand, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. She returned to the banquet hall and threw the wine glass heavily to the ground in front of everyone: "Stepmother, I wonder what's in this glass of wine?" Wang's face changed drastically, and she pretended to be calm and said: "Yao'er, what are you talking about? This is just ordinary wine." "Really?" Shen Qingyao sneered, "Then why let the maid deliver it secretly?" She turned to look at her father Shen Zhengxiong, "Father, I think I have never offended my stepmother, why does she want to harm me like this?" Shen Zhengxiong frowned and looked at Wang: "Madam, what is going on?" Wang knelt on the ground with a plop: "Master, I am innocent! Someone must have deliberately framed me!" Shen Qingyao snorted coldly: "In that case, please ask the doctor to check the wine." Soon, the doctor came, and after inspection, it was confirmed that the wine was indeed mixed with drugs. Shen Zhengxiong was furious: "Wang, you actually did such a thing! Come, lock her up in the woodshed!" Shen Qingyao looked at Wang who was taken away, and the hatred in her heart eased a little. But this is not enough, she wants these people to pay a heavy price for what they have done. In the following days, Shen Qingyao began to secretly investigate the Shen family's industry. She discovered that the decline of the Shen family in the previous life was inseparable from Lu Ziming. He joined forces with Shen Qingwan to secretly transfer the Shen family's property, which eventually led to the Shen family's bankruptcy. In this life, Shen Qingyao decided to start with Lu Ziming. She deliberately approached Lu Ziming's business rivals and cooperated with them to suppress the Lu Group's business. Lu Ziming noticed Shen Qingyao's intention and came to her: "Qingyao, why did you do this?" Shen Qingyao looked at him coldly: "Lu Ziming, you know what you have done." Lu Ziming's face changed: "You know everything?" "Yes, I know everything." Shen Qingyao's eyes were full of hatred, "In the previous life, you joined forces with Shen Qingwan to destroy my family. In this life, I will make you pay with blood!" Lu Ziming was stunned. He never thought that Shen Qingyao still remembered the things in the previous life. He was angry and said: "Shen Qingyao, don't go too far!" "Too much?" Shen Qingyao sneered, "Compared to what you did to me, this is far worse!" Under Shen Qingyao's suppression, Lu Group's business plummeted. Lu Ziming was overwhelmed, and Shen Qingwan also began to panic. She found Shen Qingyao and cried, "Sister, I know I was wrong, please let me and Ziming go." Shen Qingyao looked at her hypocritical appearance and felt disgusted: "Shen Qingwan, do you think an apology can offset what you did in your previous life?" "Sister, I really know I was wrong!" Shen Qingwan knelt on the ground, "Please forgive us for the sake of our sisterhood!" "Sister?" Shen Qingyao sneered, "When did you ever treat me as a sister?" Her eyes turned cold, "Shen Qingwan, I will get back everything you and Lu Ziming did." Shen Qingwan saw that it was useless to ask Shen Qingyao, so she went to find Shen Zhengxiong again. But Shen Zhengxiong had seen her true face and drove her out of the Shen family. Without the protection of the Shen family, Shen Qingwan and Lu Ziming's life became more and more difficult. The Lu Group eventually went bankrupt, and Lu Ziming went from a favored child to a street rat that everyone despised overnight. And Shen Qingwan, also wandered the streets and eventually died miserably. Seeing her enemies getting what they deserved, Shen Qingyao's hatred finally dissipated a little. But she knew that this was not the end. She wanted to revive the Shen family and make it the top family in the world. With Shen Qingyao's efforts, the Shen family's business was getting better and better. With her memories of her previous life and her extraordinary business acumen, she opened up many new businesses.
