Reborn As Super Heiress

Wu Jingyi still didn’t know that she was about to become one of Liang Jinghong’s ex-lovers. Seeing Liang Jinghong burst in suddenly, she was startled and instinctively hid in the room, not wanting Liang Jinghong to see her face.

But Liang Jinghong had already seen her, so it was useless for Wu Jingyi to hide now. She thought that hiding in the room could avoid all problems, not knowing that Liang Jinghong had long thought of a way out.

Wu Jingyi hid in the room, both afraid and hopeful that Liang Jinghong would knock on the door. But after waiting for half an hour, no one came to knock.

This puzzled Wu Jingyi. She frequently pressed her ear against the door to listen to any movement in the living room. At first, there were voices in the living room, but gradually she couldn’t hear anything outside the door, which made her feel strange and a bit panicked.

At first, she comforted herself, thinking it was because the door’s soundproofing was too good. But in the end, she couldn’t hold back and suddenly yanked the door open.

The living room was quiet and empty; not even that agent was there.

Only then did Wu Jingyi finally realize something was wrong. She hurriedly took out her phone to call the agent.

The agent, having been sternly warned by Liang Jinghong, had already sensed something from his expression and knew that Huo Sining might not be an ordinary person. Just as Liang Jinghong left, the agent received a call from someone who had commissioned him to investigate Huo Sining. The person on the other end started yelling as soon as they spoke: ”Chen Yan, if you want to die, don’t drag me into it. I was almost ruined because of you!”

Upon hearing this, the agent’s heart tightened instinctively as he gripped the phone and asked, ”What’s going on?”

”You’re asking me what’s going on? Do you think that woman named Huo is someone we can mess with? Guess what I found out? This woman is the adopted granddaughter of a member of the Lu Family. How did you manage to offend such a high-profile person?”

The agent was shocked upon hearing this, feeling faint and nearly unable to stand. Her legs were weak, and she instinctively leaned on the sofa to sit down, asking with difficulty, ”Where did you find this out? Is it reliable? Why not check her file?”

”You think I didn’t think of that? I checked, and her file has been specially sent to the military district. My clearance level isn’t high enough to access it. I can’t find any personal information about her. Do you know what this means? It means that her position in the military district is at least a colonel!”

The voice on the other end was somewhat exasperated and seemed very angry: ”Fortunately, I was smart and didn’t leave too many traces. If someone had caught on, I might have lost my position. I must ask, how could you, an agent at that company, be so stupid with people like her? When someone like that appears, I run ten miles away, but you’re rushing to the line of fire and trying to dig into her background. Are you out of your mind?”

Chen Yan could no longer argue. She now realized that she might have been led into a trap by Wu Jingyi. Luckily, she hadn’t acted yet, or else offending that woman named Huo could have entangled many people and matters. Just the thought of it sent shivers down her spine, coupled with a growing resentment towards Wu Jingyi, the foolish ringleader.

Suspecting that An Rong might also have been used by Wu Jingyi as a pawn, Chen Yan already had other thoughts in mind. No matter what, she couldn’t keep this from the company, or it might be too late to salvage anything if something really happened.

With that thought, Chen Yan didn’t even bother to say goodbye to Wu Jingyi and left with her bag directly.

Wu Jingyi looked at the empty house, her heart sinking. Desperately, she called Chen Yan repeatedly, but after dialing a dozen times, no one answered. Feeling increasingly panicked, her eyes carried a hint of madness as she called the agent over and over, her expression growing more ferocious.

At around 7:40 p.m., Gu Xu brought over several elderly folks. Hearing the news, several directors and deputy directors rushed to the entrance to welcome them. The group grandly escorted Chief Lu Zhou Shitao and the other elders to a round table with the best view in the hall.

Once everyone was seated, Han Wen, who was busy directing backstage, learned of this and quickly pulled Huo Sining to greet the elders at the front.

Huo Sining wrapped her coat tightly around herself, covering from head to toe. The old men couldn’t see what she was wearing. However, seeing the thick foundation on her face, Chief Lu didn’t mind, but Zhou Shitao looked very disdainful: ”A simple look would have been fine. With so much powder, we can’t even see what she really looks like.”

Huo Sining knew well that her master was straightforward and didn’t feel awkward at all. She smiled and said, ”Under the stage lights, if I don’t wear makeup, my face would look pale and lack spirit. It’s not like I’m not usually barefaced.”

Zhou Shitao wanted to say more, but Old Lady Zhou tugged at him with a stern look, glaring at her husband and saying with a smile, ”It’s good like this. I heard from your master that you’re performing magic tonight. I didn’t know you were such a clever girl, even able to perform magic?”

Huo Sining smiled, and Zhou Shitao snorted coldly: ”Spending time on side activities like this, it’s better to immerse oneself in studying cultural relics. What’s clever about this? It’s not attending to one’s proper business!”

Zhou Shitao didn’t say a single nice word, but the pride in his eyes and brows was unmistakable, clearly not opposed to Huo Sining performing magic.

Huo Sining was too lazy to argue with Zhou Shitao, knowing his temperament well and choosing not to bother with him.

This time, Chief Lu brought his grandson Lu Ruiqi along. Ever since Huo Sining cured the little guy’s leg condition, he had been recovering well. Not only could he walk on his own, but he had also grown taller, more confident, and now looked like a handsome young man.

Seeing Huo Sining, the young boy was obviously excited, his gaze fixed on her with admiration and longing: ”Sister Huo, what number is your magic performance?”

Huo Sining smiled and said, ”It’s the tenth act, should be exactly at nine o’clock, why?”

Lu Ruiqi looked proud: ”I told my classmates that my sister is performing at the Spring Festival Gala tonight and made them stay in front of the TV to watch. They said I was bragging, so I’m going to tell them about your performance later and let them see if I’m bragging!”
