Reborn As Super Heiress

The more agitated Liang Jinghong became, the more it revealed his guilty conscience. The Liang Family people on the side had already guessed something. Master Zhang, sitting in the central position, had lived most of his life and was no fool. Seeing the situation, he also felt something was amiss.

Seeing Manager Liu, responsible for venue arrangement, urgently call over two security personnel, and run towards Wu Jingyi, Master Zhang stood up and said, ”Wait, let this young lady finish her words!”

Liang Jinghong panicked and shouted, ”Grandpa Zhang!”

”You don’t speak!” Master Zhang abruptly turned his head, glaring fiercely at Liang Jinghong and sternly reprimanded, ”I want this young lady to speak herself!”

Under Master Zhang’s piercing gaze, the expression on Liang Jinghong’s face froze instantly, not daring to speak further. However, his eyes subconsciously glared at Wu Jingyi, with a look of wanting to devour her, clearly warning her not to speak recklessly, implying there would be consequences.

Nevertheless, Liang Jinghong’s threat was of no use to Wu Jingyi. She held the biggest trump card now, and she wasn’t afraid of him. With Master Zhang’s words, Wu Jingyi instead breathed a sigh of relief, lifted her head proudly and raised her chin with a look of triumph.

”My name is Wu Jingyi, I’m Liang Jinghong’s girlfriend, and I’ve been with him for more than a year. He promised to marry me after my twentieth birthday. Your name is Zhang Shuang, right? Let me tell you, brother Jinghong will not like you. Even if you rack your brains to get engaged to him, his heart will never belong to you. You should stop deluding yourself!”

Wu Jingyi looked provocatively at Zhang Shuang, while Zhang Shuang kept a smile on her face, watching this farce with amusement.

”Shut up!”

Infuriated, Liang Jinghong always thought Wu Jingyi was an understanding and pure woman. But now he realized he was wrong. This woman was no different from others before, except she was better at pretending and hiding her ambitions.

But it was too late to stop now. Wu Jingyi came with a do-or-die determination. With no studies and career left, and love lost, her path to a wealthy family was about to be blocked. She had to find a way out for herself, and this engagement banquet became an excellent opportunity for her.

”I can shut up, but can he? In a few months, it will no longer be concealable. What do you want me to do? What about the child?”

”What did you say?” Liang Jinghong was instantly dumbfounded, thinking he misheard. His eyes instinctively fell on Wu Jingyi’s slightly arched belly.

Wu Jingyi was wearing a chiffon dress, appearing a bit puffy, so Liang Jinghong didn’t pay much attention at first.

Moreover, he hadn’t seen Wu Jingyi recently and didn’t know how she was doing. Seeing her slightly plump figure, he just assumed she’d gained weight after leaving Xinghui, as she was living a leisurely life.

Now hearing Wu Jingyi’s words, Liang Jinghong realized things were somewhat beyond his control.

What did this woman’s words mean, could it be?!

Wu Jingyi suddenly pulled a piece of paper from her bag and threw it on the table, tears uncontrollably falling from her eyes.

It was a hospital test report, clearly reading the conclusion: HCG progesterone positive, confirmed pregnancy, gestational age 16 weeks, all fetal indicators normal.

”You didn’t mishear, I’m pregnant. You can say don’t want me, but what about the child? Do you know what I hate the most? I grew up in an orphanage, knowing what kind of life a child without parents or a complete family lives. Could you bear to have your child be like me, born without a father?”

As Wu Jingyi said this, the entire banquet hall was in an uproar.

The guests present showed strange expressions, even the Liang Family relatives were all taken aback, whereas the Zhang Family people each had varied expressions. Uncle Zhang and his wife blushed furiously, especially under their niece’s mocking gaze, feeling so embarrassed they wished to dig a hole and crawl in. Master Zhang was beyond furious, his gaze of scrutiny and anger seemingly about to solidify, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

”Clap, clap, clap!” Originally calmly seated in the chair, Zhang Shuang chuckled, stood up, and began to applaud, tsk-tsk sighing, ”Today’s truly a good show, more exciting than what’s on TV, don’t you agree, Uncle, Aunt?”

Uncle Zhang and his wife, speechless by Zhang Shuang’s comment, had flickering eyes and faces full of indescribable embarrassment.

Master Zhang, seeing his granddaughter’s fierce, indifferent expression, was filled with a sudden tenderness for her.

He knew what his eldest son and daughter-in-law’s intentions were in advocating for the Zhang Family to entwine with the Liang Family. It was a suggestion made by his daughter-in-law, and initially, he did not agree. But his daughter-in-law said that Liang Family’s small son was smart and reliable, a worthy person to entrust. The Liang Family being a hereditary family meant his granddaughter wouldn’t suffer if married there. Master Zhang thought carefully and agreed, feeling it was reasonable.

Who would have expected the reality to be entirely different from what his daughter-in-law mentioned; this Liang family’s young man was not any stable person but a playboy. It was only the first day of engagement, and there were so many troubles, who knew how many more worrying issues would arise in the future?

Although Shuang didn’t have parents to rely on, he, Zhang Qizhong, was still around. A girl from the Zhang Family, no matter how tumultuous her birth, was to be cherished and loved dearly, and not miserably trampled upon by the Liang Family!

”Shuang, let’s go back!” Master Zhang tenderly looked at his granddaughter, filled with guilt.

Today should have been Zhang Shuang’s engagement banquet, the most beautiful moment in a woman’s life, but it was ruined by the Liang Family, making this day the most humiliating moment for his granddaughter. Master Zhang felt guilty not only to his granddaughter but also to his deceased younger son and daughter-in-law. Disturbed by his feelings, he didn’t linger to quarrel more with the Liang Family, pulling Zhang Shuang’s hand out the door:

”Good child, it’s Grandpa’s fault for misjudging people. Don’t worry, today’s event doesn’t count. We’ll head back first. Grandpa will find a better match for you, ensuring you’ll find an ideal husband!”

Seeing that her grandfather genuinely cared for her, Zhang Shuang’s icy, indifferent gaze finally warmed. She smiled, supporting her grandfather’s arm and walking out, as if everything before her was unrelated to her.
