Reborn As Super Heiress

The two men chuckled at the words: ”Who we are is irrelevant. You only need to know him.”

As he spoke, one of the men grabbed the trembling man who had rolled into the room earlier, and pulled his hair back, forcing him to tilt his head and reveal his face.

The man, seeing there was no escape, stopped hiding and instantly changed his expression to a fawning one, grinning at Wu Jingyi: ”Daughter, how about you give your dad some money again?”

Upon seeing who was in front of her, Wu Jingyi’s face immediately turned to intense disgust. This person was none other than her biological father, Wu Dekai, who had traveled all the way from Bashu to the Imperial Capital to acknowledge her.

When Wu Dekai came to acknowledge their relationship, Wu Jingyi was very resistant. However, at the time, she was worried that Liang Jinghong would find out about this matter, so she intended to use some money to get rid of this rascal. Unexpectedly, by doing so, she attracted a bloodsucking leech instead.

With his gambling addiction, Wu Dekai received 30,000 yuan from her and immediately found a gambling venue in the Imperial Capital, where he hung around the casino for two long months.

Coming from the countryside, he initially had a timid disposition. Seeing those in the casino bet big chips in all sorts of ways, he envied them but dared not try, only watching from the sidelines while he gambled small at the tourist tables.

So, except for food and drink, those 30,000 yuan surprisingly lasted him for two months.

During this period, Wu Jingyi was expelled from the Medical University, and though Liang Jinghong tried to help her find another school, he failed. In the end, he decided to send her to a talent agency. After packaging her and using some promotional strategies, she successfully debuted in the entertainment circle under the pseudonym Ada as a fresh model.

Initially, Wu Jingyi was reluctant about debuting in the entertainment industry. But Liang Jinghong painted a picture of a glorious future filled with millions of fans, photographers following her, reporters lauding her, winning awards worldwide, and appearing on screens of all sizes across the country. Such scenes immediately satisfied Wu Jingyi’s vanity, so she eagerly agreed to dive into the industry.

It was shortly after her debut that Wu Dekai ran out of money and came to bother her again.

It was this time that Wu Jingyi learned what kind of person Wu Dekai really was. Playing the rogue was just one of his tricks; he was also ruthless and cold-blooded. Wu Jingyi’s cunning and schemes were likely inherited from him.

This time when he came, Wu Jingyi expelled Wu Dekai from her house, even calling security to kick him out of the community.

Angry at not obtaining money, Wu Dekai was furious, but he was also patient, not discouraged by such a trivial matter. After some careful thinking, he secretly sneaked back into Wu Jingyi’s community.

This time, Wu Dekai didn’t knock on her door directly but staked out outside Wu Jingyi’s residence, seeking a chance to catch her alone.

Initially, Wu Dekai intended to kidnap Wu Jingyi and force her to give him money, but unexpectedly, while staking out, he stumbled upon a groundbreaking secret.

His estranged daughter had debuted in the entertainment industry, becoming a star!

Though a man from a rural area, Wu Dekai did watch TV and read newspapers and magazines. He didn’t know how much filth and darkness there were in the entertainment industry, but he knew that being a star could earn a fortune!

In Wu Dekai’s eyes, stars were wealthy. Shooting a TV drama or an advertisement could casually bring in millions of dollars, which was essentially money!

This news made Wu Dekai quite excited; his daughter was a star, and the money she earned was as good as Wu Dekai’s!

Wu Dekai viewed Wu Jingyi as a money tree, but he was well aware of her attitude towards him. Inwardly, he spat in disgust, realizing that the richer his daughter got, the stingier she became. She wouldn’t even acknowledge him as her father, enjoying meat herself while begrudging him even broth. Yet, his daughter earned millions and wouldn’t spare him a few ten thousand yuan!

Wu Dekai was indeed angry with Wu Jingyi, but he wasn’t stupid. Given Wu Jingyi’s current status, using force would likely lead to failure or even invite legal trouble.

Reflecting inwardly, Wu Dekai conceived a plan.

Since Wu Jingyi had debuted, she must maintain a good image before the audience. A scandal could be fatal for a celebrity.

To strike where it hurts and control them, Wu Dekai understood this deeply, and after some contemplation, he promptly identified his position.

He then knocked on Wu Jingyi’s door. Upon entering, he didn’t make a fuss but calmly demanded money from Wu Jingyi.

Initially, Wu Jingyi didn’t take Wu Dekai seriously at all, merely telling him to get lost or she would call the police.

However, Wu Dekai wasn’t deterred at all. Smiling, he gestured for Wu Jingyi to call the police.

”Go ahead and call them. As soon as the police arrive, I’ll shout, bringing everyone in the building to watch the drama. I’ll tell them that the big star Ada is my daughter, refuses to give me money, and even calls the police to arrest me. Then, let’s see how you continue in the entertainment circle!”

This sentence was precisely why Wu Jingyi was cautious, no longer daring to call the police easily.

Before her debut, she had been trained by the agency and knew how damaging scandals could be for celebrities, especially family disputes, which were particularly notorious. She was climbing the ladder, and this was her only path to wealth and fame. Thus, she couldn’t allow Wu Dekai to easily ruin her future.

Wu Jingyi hated Wu Dekai to the core, but Wu Dekai had seized her fatal weakness. Though furious, Wu Jingyi had no choice but to comply with Wu Dekai’s demands.

Wu Dekai was also shrewd, knowing the meaning of cooking a frog in warm water. Whenever he sought Wu Jingyi, he never demanded a large amount, always ranging from a few thousand yuan to tens of thousands, never asking for more. He also made sure to leave some time in between, ensuring the amount was manageable for Wu Jingyi without pushing her to desperation, avoiding a scenario where she’d recklessly confront him.

Thus, over nearly a year’s time, he indeed reaped many benefits from Wu Jingyi. The tens of thousands she handed over didn’t affect her much. Despite feeling disgusted by Wu Dekai and even contemplating hiring someone to deal with him, Wu Dekai behaved himself during this period, not speaking out of line, which made Wu Jingyi give up on the thought.

But this time was different; Wu Dekai, pulled by the man’s hair, lifted his head and Wu Jingyi immediately saw his face bruised, his neck full of wounds, his body battered and swayed by two men. It was evident that something had happened.
