Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 360: Chapter 356: Follow-up

Gu Xu was about to ask what exactly was going on when the information fed back from the Haiding District made his face instantly darken.

He never expected the Liang Family to be meddling in this matter.

The Liang Family was known for its decadence and frequent scandals, so Gu Xu had a very poor opinion of them.

In recent years, Liang Jinhong had been trying to ingratiate himself with the Gu Family, hoping to collaborate with Shengtang Group, but Gu Xu never gave the Liang Family any face.

Gu Xu’s eyes darkened; he was certain this incident was intentionally instigated by the Liang Family, perhaps as revenge for his previous refusal to cooperate with them on projects.

Gu Xu couldn’t dismiss the slighted face, but he certainly didn’t plan to let Wu Jingyi off so easily.

As for the Liang Family, hmph, he would settle that account slowly.

Liang Jinhong could never have imagined that by such a seemingly trivial incident, he had offended the Gu Family, the major financier whom he had sought to ingratiate himself with in vain. Otherwise, he would have immediately sent Wu Jingyi back to the Haiding District police without a second thought.

Since neither party had any objections to the judgment results, the sentencing came through very quickly.

Upon hearing the words ”four years of probation,” Wu Jingyi let out a sigh of relief; however, she still did not know that her disaster was far from over, and what awaited her was one blow after another.

Liang Jinhong brought the haggard Wu Jingyi back to the apartment, and sure enough, as he had ”guessed” before, Wu Jingyi had been framed.

Wu Jingyi bit her lip, tears shimmering in her eyes:

”We have been close friends since childhood. Because she was introverted and sensitive, as well as somewhat insecure, she didn’t have any friends at school. I pitied her, so I took the initiative to befriend her.”

”She was an orphan just like me, but while I was in the orphanage, she lived with her uncle. Her aunt was strict with her, and she would often say she envied me for being unregulated and free in the orphanage I was in.”

”For college entrance exams, I got into Imperial Capital while she could only barely make it to S University. I even thought about maintaining our sisterly bond, but she left our hometown without a word, and after that, we lost contact.”

”This time the scandal was orchestrated by Zhang Jun himself. I’m from the same hometown as Zhang Jun, so it’s not strange that we know each other, but I did not conspire with him to frame Huo Sining. How could I possibly harm my own good sister?”

As she spoke, Wu Jingyi also shed ”disappointed and pained” tears, clearly very ”upset” about her good sister having framed her in such a way.

Liang Jinhong took her words for truth upon hearing this: ”You’re a good girl, attractive and excellent in your studies, with good people skills. She has always lived in your shadow, so she must be driven mad with jealousy.”

While speaking, Liang Jinhong compassionately pulled Wu Jingyi into his arms, softly consoling her: ”Don’t worry, you’re better off without such a two-faced friend. I’ll protect you from now on, don’t cry anymore.”

Liang Jinhong had no doubts about Wu Jingyi’s story and never thought to verify it online.

However, he did have some interest in this woman Huo Sining—not that he liked her but because it seemed she, living in S City, was able to mobilize the police in Haiding District. She certainly had some tricks up her sleeve; what exactly was her background?

Liang Jinhong certainly wouldn’t believe the story of her being an orphan; if that were true, she would be completely malleable and certainly not capable in this way.

Of course, he wouldn’t tell Wu Jingyi any of this but silently noted the name Huo Sining in his mind.

Liang Jinhong still didn’t know that in this incident, both the Gu Family and the Ministry of State Security had a hand. Otherwise, he would definitely not be so calm.

After dealing with Liang Jinhong, Wu Jingyi finally dragged her exhausted body back to the bathroom. Looking at the face in the mirror that had survived a disaster, a deep resentment and malice flickered in her eyes.

Trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice, she just wanted to see Huo Sining’s misfortune, yet that bitch surprisingly managed to turn the tables.

And you wouldn’t know until there was trouble, but when you did, it was shocking.

If it weren’t for this expose, she would have thought Huo Sining was still that poor student with nothing. But the overwhelming support from those popular V users left her completely dumbfounded.

Valuable pearls and ambergris worth millions, jadeite raw materials worth tens of millions, and even shares in the project at the Biological Research Institute—these were things she longed for but had no ability to acquire.

While shocked, Wu Jingyi also felt a deep envy in her heart.

Why should she serve men so hard, even to the extent of using those shamefully humiliating positions she found difficult to speak of, only to receive some flashy but insubstantial clothes and shoes, trivial gifts;

Whereas that bitch Huo Sining, without any effort, just became a wealthy person with tens of millions in assets, a true female tycoon?

She wanted to use public opinion to destroy Huo Sining, but not only did she fail to frame her, she instead increased Huo Sining’s fame, making countless netizens refer to her as the ”Goddess of Reverse Fortunes.”

Wu Jingyi crushed the soap in her hand into pieces, as if it were Huo Sining’s face.

Still reeling from the shock, she finally got out of the police station. That night, Wu Jingyi didn’t sleep well, waking up the next day with dark circles under her eyes from the nightmare. When she opened her computer to check the follow-up situation on Weibo, she was dumbfounded the moment she clicked into it.

On the right side of Weibo, the screen was filled with topics related to Huo Sining.

#ApologizeToMissMagic#, #HeartacheForHuoSining#, #Don’tSpeakJustKissMe#, #AirKissMissMagic#.

It was at this moment Wu Jingyi noticed that the Weibo of Gu Xu, the Executive Director of Shengtang Group she followed, had been updated in recent days, and the content was related to Huo Sining. She clicked in to look and suddenly went pale.

That bitch Huo Sining was actually with Gu Xu?!

That wasn’t all. When she opened her own Weibo profile, she saw a barrage of users swearing at her. It turned out her Weibo account had been exposed.

A Weibo user claiming to be a new student in clinical medicine at Medical University said they knew the Wu Jingyi Huo Sining talked about and then detailed Wu Jingyi’s behavior and changes at school over the past six months.

Disinterested and arrogant in class, disrespecting teachers, repeatedly criticized by teachers and never changing despite being taught, with numerous red marks on final exams.

Vain and fond of rich friends, she only wore cheap knockoffs two months ago because of financial constraints, but then for some reason suddenly had money, embarking on a path of flaunting wealth with no return, with branded bags, designer clothes, and luxury cosmetics all complete, always showing off with selfies, seen everywhere from the school forum to the class group chats to her Moments.

Speaking of which, that Weibo account also posted nine photos of Wu Jingyi flaunting her wealth, with clothes, shoes, bags, and cosmetics, stunning the netizens.

Initially, everyone thought it was Huo Sining who was the gold digger being kept, but after seeing this post, they realized they were wrong.
