Reborn As Super Heiress

”Young Master Liang? Young Master Liang!”

The manager saw that Liang Jinghong hadn’t reacted for a while and couldn’t help but speak up, trying to bring him back to his senses.

Liang Jinghong snapped back, looked at his manager, and seriously asked, ”Are you saying that after going to several hospitals, the doctors all said that even if it’s cured, it will leave a scar?”

The manager nodded, his face full of worry: ”Yes, the company is anxious right now and is trying to find other treatment methods. Young Master Liang, you have many contacts, do you know any experts in skin disease treatment? Perhaps you could help Ada inquire. For celebrities, their face is the most precious asset. If it’s ruined, their path to stardom is over.”

Liang Jinghong absent-mindedly nodded, but he had only one thought in his mind: Wu Jingyi’s face was going to be disfigured by these rashes.

He didn’t even dare recall the unbearable sight of Wu Jingyi’s face when he had first entered. Thinking about having to be close to such a woman in the future, Liang Jinghong felt incredibly uncomfortable, wishing he could escape immediately.

”Can’t find the cause of the illness? Is it poison or a bacterial infection?” Liang Jinghong casually asked a question, somewhat perfunctorily.

The manager shook his head: ”The doctors can’t say. Some speculate it could be because of contact with something unclean. Our company’s veteran artist An Rong has the same rash. We suspect that it might be someone’s act of revenge.”

Liang Jinghong heard this and his mind cleared slightly: ”Revenge? Who did it?”

The manager hesitated: ”Ada and An Rong have been getting along well lately, perhaps they accidentally offended someone. But she did provide us with a name.”

”Who?” Liang Jinghong instinctively asked.

The manager said, ”It’s that Miss Magic who caused quite a stir on Weibo recently by performing magic at the Spring Festival Gala, Huo Sining.”

Hearing the name Huo Sining, Liang Jinghong couldn’t help but tense up: ”Huo Sining?!”

The manager nodded: ”Yes, Ada said this Huo Sining has a grudge against her. They met backstage on the last rehearsal day, so it’s very possible that woman seized the opportunity to play tricks behind the scenes.”

Liang Jinghong instinctively furrowed his brows. He knew of Wu Jingyi’s grudge with Huo Sining, but pinning the rashes on her seemed too far-fetched.

If it were a year ago and he didn’t know Huo Sining’s identity, Liang Jinghong might have believed Wu Jingyi and gone to seek trouble with Huo Sining.

But over the past year, Liang Jinghong had heard several people mention Huo Sining, knowing she had an unusual relationship with the Gu Family and Lu Family in the Imperial Capital. She was also Zhou Shitao’s closed-door disciple, not to mention her exceptional skills in betting on stones, making her quite wealthy. Would such a person really need to retaliate against a minor star like Wu Jingyi using such a method?

Just thinking about it, Liang Jinghong found it unlikely. Given Huo Sining’s current status, she wouldn’t go back to settle old scores for small matters unless severely provoked. Even if Wu Jingyi had offended her a year ago, it was unlikely that she still held a grudge.

Liang Jinghong’s guess was indeed correct. While Huo Sining wasn’t the most forgiving, she didn’t retaliate over every slight. If Wu Jingyi hadn’t been so blind to provoke and scheme against Huo Sining, Huo Sining might not have been angered to the point of orchestrating a revenge on both Wu Jingyi and An Rong.

Sadly, Liang Jinghong couldn’t anticipate that Wu Jingyi, who appeared demure and innocent, was conducting shady affairs behind the scenes. Her own careless actions provoked Huo Sining, proving again that taking reckless actions leads to inevitable consequences.

”I’ve already sent people to investigate Huo Sining. Once the information comes back, if it turns out Huo Sining was indeed responsible, I will report it to the company. The company will undoubtedly handle this, and won’t let the perpetrator off easy!”

The manager knew how much Liang Jinghong valued Wu Jingyi, and seeing Liang Jinghong remain silent, thought he was angry, leading him to quickly speak in explanation.

Unexpectedly, this statement startled Liang Jinghong. Was Xinghui serious about holding Huo Sining accountable? This was a joke, right? That Huo woman was essentially a part of the Lu Family; anyone looking to mess with her wouldn’t last in this business.

”Let me advise you, even if it turns out that Huo Sining did this, let it end here without further complications, understand? That woman is not someone you can afford to provoke!”

The manager, somewhat clueless, responded, ”But Ada said...”

The manager’s words were abruptly cut off by Liang Jinghong: ”Whatever she says goes? She’s nobody, she understands nothing. Tell her to accept her assignments obediently, and leave other things alone. If she causes major trouble, don’t blame me for dropping her without hesitation!”

Liang Jinghong was truly speechless. Back then, Wu Jingyi had opposed Huo Sining and was expelled from school as a result. One would think she’d learn from such a huge setback, but she was still restless, determined to fight Huo Sining.

The problem was, she was just a minor star with no substantial backing or influence to oppose someone like Huo Sining, who had both wealth and power. For Huo Sining, dealing with Wu Jingyi was as simple as squashing an ant.

Liang Jinghong felt fed up. Initially, he valued Wu Jingyi for her face and good temper. Who would have expected her face to become so marred, with unclear prospects for recovery? Moreover, she was becoming arrogant, causing more trouble.

Thinking this way, Liang Jinghong felt uncomfortable, and a thought sprang up in his mind, gradually taking root and growing stronger.

It seemed this woman was no longer worth indulging; it was best to let her fend for herself.

Wu Jingyi was still unaware that she had become a hindrance in Liang Jinghong’s mind - not worth the effort, but too pathetic to discard easily. She relied on his favor, believing she would eventually marry into the Liang Family as a wealthy wife, leading her to act arrogantly.

But she hadn’t grasped the truth that relying on beauty to serve a man is never sustainable. Once someone values only your appearance, at some point when it fades, they will lose interest, turning away to find someone even more beautiful.
