Reborn As Super Heiress

Wu Jingyi was suspicious, and her gaze at Wu Dekai changed: ”How much money do you need?”

Wu Dekai’s eyes were evasive, his expression somewhat off. He glanced at Wu Jingyi, then at the two men standing behind him, and extended five fingers, stammering: ”F...fifty thousand.”

Wu Jingyi was about to ask why Wu Dekai needed so much money this time; she didn’t have that much and was ready to tell Wu Dekai to leave quickly. Before she could say anything, the man beside her pushed Wu Dekai to the ground, sneered, and interrupted her:

”What fifty thousand?! It’s five hundred thousand! Your father gambled at our casino, put up both his hands, and ended up losing five hundred thousand. If the money isn’t repaid within ten days, he can forget about keeping his hands!”

Five hundred thousand?! Upon hearing this, Wu Jingyi’s expression immediately changed.

Wu Dekai was also trembling with fear, looking at Wu Jingyi with eyes full of guilt and pleading, seemingly wanting to say something but unable to speak.

How could Wu Jingyi possibly have five hundred thousand? She sneered at Wu Dekai: ”Five hundred thousand? I don’t even have fifty thousand. You’ve got the wrong person. I don’t even know this man. What does his gambling loss have to do with me? Whether you want to cut off his hands or feet, go ahead, just leave already. Otherwise, I’m calling the police!”

As soon as Wu Jingyi said this, Wu Dekai panicked and urgently grabbed her hand: ”Daughter, you can’t just leave me like this. These people are gangsters; they really mean it when they say they’ll cut off my hands!”

Wu Jingyi nodded indifferently: ”They’re not cutting off my hands. You’re so fond of gambling; if your hands are cut off, you won’t be able to gamble anymore and won’t keep coming to me for money. It’s a win-win; I’d be glad to have some peace. Isn’t this just perfect?”

Wu Dekai’s face immediately darkened: ”What did you say?”

Wu Jingyi repeated herself, shook off Wu Dekai’s hand as if it were stained, and wiped her hand clean with disdain. She coldly issued an ultimatum:

”Wu Dekai, I advise you to have some dignity and leave quickly. Stop bothering me, or if you really get on my nerves, losing your hands will be the least of your worries. Do you believe I can make it so you can’t even go back to Bashu?”

Wu Jingyi wasn’t easy to deal with either. Wu Dekai had repeatedly asked her for money, but she wasn’t foolish enough to keep throwing money into his bottomless pit. After giving him money several times, Wu Dekai was not satisfied and became increasingly greedy. Wu Jingyi had long been angry, and now with someone helping her deal with Wu Dekai, she was more than happy not to give him money to bail him out.

However, she underestimated Wu Dekai’s character. Although Wu Dekai was from the countryside, he had been mingling in casinos for years, learning quite a few underhanded tricks.

With Wu Jingyi so forcefully rejecting him, fear and panic of losing his hands overwhelmed Wu Dekai, and his gaze towards Wu Jingyi turned crazed. He sneered:

”Good, good, you really learned your dad’s cold-bloodedness perfectly! Wu Jingyi, you’re ruthless. I’ve fallen into this predicament and you still turn a blind eye! Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for being heartless. Watch, you don’t save me, but I won’t let you have it easy either!”

Wu Jingyi felt a slight chill at Wu Dekai’s words, but considering he was already under the control of casino people, once they cut off his hands, he might not be able to make trouble anymore. So she didn’t take his words to heart, just sneered and chased Wu Dekai out like swatting a fly.

Wu Dekai continued to make a nuisance outside the door, knocking for a while. Wu Jingyi, fed up, made one phone call and had security come up to throw Wu Dekai and the two casino men out. At that moment, Wu Jingyi’s manager and family doctor arrived at her apartment complex. Upon hearing the commotion, the manager glanced over and spotted the miserable-looking man being tossed out by security, instantly recognizing Wu Jingyi’s father, Wu Dekai.

The manager instinctively furrowed her brows, quickened her pace, and rushed to Wu Jingyi’s residence. Upstairs, the manager anxiously knocked on the door.

Inside, Wu Jingyi heard the knock and thought Wu Dekai had returned, immediately getting angry: ”Wu Dekai, try knocking again! Do you really think I dare not do anything to you? It’s just a worthless life. I’ll tell you, with one call I can have someone kill you. Test me if you don’t believe it!”

Upon hearing this, the manager’s dissatisfaction deepened. But now wasn’t the time to act, with the family doctor right behind her. So she held back her displeasure and said in a deep voice: ”Ada, it’s me.”

Hearing the manager’s voice, Wu Jingyi quickly reacted and hurriedly opened the door.

Once inside, the manager couldn’t help but ask: ”What’s the deal with Wu Dekai? Didn’t I tell you to get rid of him? These kinds of street hooligans have no limits. If you don’t deal with him now, once you become famous, this person will be a ticking time bomb, ready to explode anytime. Do you understand that logic? I’m telling you—”

The manager reprimanded Wu Jingyi as soon as she entered, and as she spoke, she lifted her head, seemingly wanting to see Wu Jingyi’s expression. But upon seeing Wu Jingyi’s face covered in rashes, the words froze in her mouth, and she was stunned on the spot.

After dealing with Wu Dekai, the rash on Wu Jingyi’s face had worsened, turning dark red and looking quite horrifying.

The manager previously assumed Wu Jingyi’s rash was just an ordinary allergic reaction based on their phone call, dismissing it. But witnessing Wu Jingyi’s facial condition now, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes in horror, speechless.

After a three-second pause, the manager instinctively exclaimed: ”Oh my God, what... what happened? How did your face turn into this overnight?!”

Seeing Wu Jingyi’s face swollen and grotesque with rashes, the manager nearly cried out. She hurriedly stepped forward, intending to touch the rash, but as she got closer, she caught a nauseating stench and instinctively stepped back.
