A Beijing socialite stole my boyfriend; she went crazy after I got married.

Zhou Lihua was so badly beaten that she was dizzy and her elegant hairstyle fell off instantly, leaving her in a sorry state.

"Ah!" Zhou Lihua covered her face. "You, surnamed Lin, you actually hit me?!"

"I'll beat you up! A doting mother spoils her son!"

Lin Chonghe pointed at the mother and daughter who were slumped on the ground, his voice hoarse and trembling.

"Your good daughter keeps talking about killing people. So what if she dies? Does she have the ability to handle the aftermath?! What makes her so arrogant?! Isn't it because you've been feeding her that garbage idea that 'the Lin family fears no one in Beijing' every day?! She thinks the Lin family can control everything, and that I can keep providing her with money and connections to cover her tracks and clean up her messes!"

"She should take a good look at herself. Compared to Xie Jing, the Lin family is nothing! With just one word from Tianyu Group, banks will withdraw their loans, partners will withdraw their investments, and the supply chain will break. In less than three months, we'll be begging on the streets! If she wants to kill someone, I'll put aside my own family for the greater good today, so that the entire Lin family doesn't end up in their coffins with her tomorrow!"

Zhou Lihua was stunned.

She had been married to Lin Chonghe for over thirty years and lived the life of a wealthy and privileged woman, with everyone fawning over her.

Lin Chonghe is usually busy with work and doesn't have a bad temper. He only says a few words when his child makes a mistake.

She had never seen her husband so enraged to the point of near madness.

Zhou Lihua felt a jolt of fear and finally realized that things might be very serious.

Lin Chonghe breathed heavily, his eyes darting around before finally settling on Lin Yuwei and Zhou Lihua with a cold smile.

"Xu Ming!"

Lin Chonghe shouted towards the gate.

The assistant immediately pushed open the door and came in.

He kept his eyes down, staring intently at his toes, completely ignoring the mother and daughter beside him.

"Boss, what are your instructions?"

"Tomorrow morning, notify the legal team to come to the company. To process the asset transfer."

Lin Chonghe said coldly.

Lin Yuwei was stunned. "Dad! You can't do this!"

Lin Chonghe ignored her completely. "Her downtown duplex, her cars, the independent trust fund for her coming-of-age ceremony, and the small amount of company stock that was originally planned to be transferred after her graduation—"

The assistant silently lowered his head.

"What?!" Lin Yuwei cursed angrily, "Dad, are you crazy?!"

Lin Chonghe glanced at her coldly, "...transfer them all to Lin Shu's name."

Zhou Lihua gasped.

That was Lin Chonghe's eldest daughter with his first wife.

After Lin Chonghe remarried, Zhou Lihua disliked her stepdaughter and, fearing she would compete with her sons for the family fortune, sent her abroad early on.

"Old Lin!" Zhou Lihua scrambled to her feet, her eyes filled with venom. "Are you crazy? How could you give Xiaowei's things to that—"

Lin Chonghe smirked. "Not only will I take your daughter's things, but also your five shops in the city center, two overseas vacation villas, and jewelry fund... all of which will be yours tomorrow."

Zhou Lihua almost fainted.

She had worked hard for half her life, giving birth to three sons and a daughter, and always took it for granted that everything in the Lin family would eventually belong to her and her children.

She never dreamed that because of Lin Yuwei's foolish and reckless act, Lin Chonghe would actually use this method to directly cut out their flesh to feed that bastard child.

Lin Yuwei was also terrified, her face turning deathly pale. "Dad! No, Dad! You gave those things to... to my eldest sister! How can I ever face anyone in this industry again?! Everyone will laugh at me! Dad, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!"

"Get out of here!"

Lin Chonghe kicked her away, his eyes filled with disgust.

"How much overseas business has the boss brought to the group every year during his years in the UK? He's a hundred times better than you bunch of spendthrift idiots!"

He pointed at Lin Yuwei and said, "You don't need to stay in this industry anymore. Just wait to go abroad. If you cause any more trouble, you'll be in big trouble!"

Two men walked in through the entrance of the hall.

Both men were wearing three-piece suits and reeked of the smell of cigarettes and alcohol from business dinners.

They were Lin Chonghe's eldest son, Lin Ze, and second son, Lin Ting.

Upon entering, seeing the mess on the floor and the two injured women, their expressions immediately changed.

"Dad! What's going on? Why are you so angry?"

A man rushed forward, saying, "Even if Xiaowei did something wrong, isn't it a bit too much for you to hit her like this?"

"Too much? You think I went too far?!"

Lin Chonghe suddenly turned his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on his two sons.

"Why don't you ask your dear sister yourself what she was doing at the Xie family's vacation villa a few days ago?"

The two men's expressions changed when they heard about the Xie family.

"You all know about that previous medical project—"

Lin Chonghe gritted his teeth and recounted what had just happened, "Now it's all ruined, and there probably won't be another chance."

The two men immediately looked as if they had swallowed flies.

Among the core strategic cooperation projects of the Lin Group this year, the large orders from Tianyu Group are indispensable.

The two brothers led the project team through several months of hard work, hoping to double the company's stock price and thus gain a foothold on the board of directors.

Everything was ruined.

"Damn it!" Lin Ting cursed first. "If we don't get the Tianyu Group's order this year, we'll lose at least 20 billion!"

Moreover, if this happened in the capital, being turned away by the Xie family would be tantamount to a death sentence for any future business ventures!

When Lin Ze turned his head and looked at Lin Yuwei, the initial affection and concern in his eyes vanished instantly, leaving only deep shock and rejection.

Lin Chonghe straightened his disheveled suit and gave Lin Yuwei a disgusted look.

"You'd better stay home and reflect on your actions for the next few days. You're not allowed to go anywhere! Once the paperwork is done, get out of here immediately!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

The living room fell into a deathly silence.

Lin Yuwei collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

The excruciating pain on her face continued, but compared to the physical agony, an overwhelming sense of panic and anxiety surged through her at that moment.

Unable to leave home? Assets frozen? Car repossessed?

"No...no..."

As if suddenly waking up, Lin Yuwei hurriedly got up from the ground without bothering to wipe the blood off her face.

She suddenly remembered that in two days it would be the birthday party of Sisi, a socialite in Beijing's elite circle.

The party invited almost all the heiresses from wealthy families in the industry, and Xie Qingyang was also on the invitation list.

Lin Yuwei was talking about this in her group chat with her girlfriends just a few days ago.

If she doesn't go in a couple of days—

If outsiders knew what happened today, she would become the biggest laughing stock in the industry!

"Mom! Eldest brother! Second brother!"

Lin Yuwei panicked completely. She lunged forward and grabbed Zhou Lihua's silk nightgown, her face streaked with tears and blood, pleading without any regard for her image:

"Mom, please beg Dad for me! I still have to go to the Yu family's party! I can't miss it! And my car, what will they think of me if it gets taken?! Mom, you love me the most, can you lend me your car for a bit? I can't lose face in front of them!"

"Shut up!"

Zhou Lihua snapped out of her daze and slapped Lin Yuwei's hand away.

"I've always spoiled you too much!"

She stared intently at Lin Yuwei.

"You still can't see things clearly at a time like this? You still have the nerve to care about a party?! All your mother's things have been stolen by that short-lived bastard's child!"

Zhou Lihua has always loved money. The thought of her husband taking away her assets and giving them to the person she hates the most makes her heart bleed.

She pushed Lin Yuwei away, "How could I have given birth to such a useless and troublesome child! Just looking at you brings me bad luck!"

After saying that, he stormed upstairs in a huff.

Lin Yuwei raised her head in despair and looked at her two brothers standing to the side.

"Big brother... second brother... please help me... lend me a car, even just one of yours..."

"Lend you the car? So you can keep causing trouble outside using the Lin family's name, and then squander all the money that should belong to us?!"

Lin Ze looked at her coldly, "Lin Yuwei, because of you, my second brother and I have lost at least several hundred million in dividends from our shares in the company, and you haven't even said sorry. Do we owe you anything?"

"You're about to lose all your shares, and all you're thinking about is the party?" Lin Ting glanced at her with disgust. "From now on, don't tell anyone you're my sister in public; I'll be ashamed of you."

The two brothers exchanged a glance, then turned and left.

Lin Yuwei leaned back on the sofa in despair.

The phone on the coffee table vibrated.

She glanced at it and saw that it was Xie Qingyang calling.

Lin Yuwei jumped up.
