Reborn As Super Heiress

Doctor Song left, and the agent had no choice but to find another doctor. After calling the company and explaining the situation, they decided to send another doctor over. However, they waited for a full hour, but the doctor still hadn’t arrived.

Wu Jingyi was suddenly furious: ”Didn’t you say you would send another doctor over? Why hasn’t he arrived yet? What is taking so long?”

The agent had no choice but to make another call to urge them. Unexpectedly, she froze when she made the call.

”An Rong has a rash too?” The agent instinctively repeated the words she heard over the phone, stunned.

Beside her, Wu Jingyi heard this and also instinctively looked up, shock flashing in her eyes.

After hanging up the phone, the agent’s expression turned somewhat strange: ”The person on the phone said An Rong has a rash too. Doctor Song and another specialized doctor both went to An Rong’s place. According to people from the company, An Rong’s face is covered with rashes as well. Doctor Song saw it and said An Rong’s rash is exactly the same as yours.”

Wu Jingyi also sensed something was off: ”How can this be? Do we have the same symptoms?”

The agent nodded: ”Exactly the same. Doctor Song is researching the cause of this illness.”

Doubt and confusion were clearly evident in Wu Jingyi’s eyes: ”How can this be? Why did we both develop rashes at the same time? Isn’t this too coincidental?”

The agent, having spent more years in the entertainment circle, knew more than Wu Jingyi. Not only had she seen rashes, but she’d also witnessed instances of drugging and cursing, thus she wasn’t surprised by such occurrences. However, since it was brought up, she decided not to remain silent and asked the necessary questions.

”Where did you and An Rong meet in the past few days? Did you offend anyone?”

The agent asked Wu Jingyi seriously.

Wu Jingyi was stunned and subconsciously glanced at the agent.

”You weren’t paying attention to what Doctor Song said before he left. He mentioned that your symptoms aren’t as simple as an infection. There’s only one explanation: you must have offended someone substantial, causing them to retaliate. Think carefully about who could do this, and let’s prepare some defenses. If they’re someone truly untouchable, avoid them as much as possible.”

As the agent spoke, she instinctively glanced at Wu Jingyi’s face, silently lamenting. If Wu Jingyi’s illness was indeed due to offending someone, then it was truly swallowing the bitter pill quietly. This person’s methods were ruthless, striking Wu Jingyi’s and An Rong’s weakness in one move.

For a celebrity, their face is the most valuable asset. If it’s ruined, their career is over. This person clearly used something, causing Wu Jingyi and An Rong to suffer overnight. Such revenge is truly brutal.

The agent’s words sent Wu Jingyi into deep thought.

Recently, she’d been close to An Rong, who seemed inclined to promote her. Previously, when they were filming in the same crew, they had suppressed several newcomers and even schemed to seize a movie role from another actress. However, after these events replayed in Wu Jingyi’s mind, she dismissed each one.

After being sidelined and suppressed by them, those individuals became silent, and they hadn’t interacted since. If these people truly possessed such skills, they would have risen in the entertainment circle long ago, rather than struggling on the periphery.

At this point, a silhouette suddenly flashed in Wu Jingyi’s mind, causing her to gasp sharply.

According to the agent, if she had offended anyone recently, the only possible person was Huo Sining.

Yesterday, during the final rehearsal for the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Huo Sining was late. Wu Jingyi had openly and secretly disparaged Huo Sining backstage. Later, An Rong deliberately asked makeup artist Sister Liu to delay, attempting to embarrass Huo Sining on stage. But then An Rong changed her mind and tried to have Sister Liu use toxic makeup to ruin Huo Sining’s face.

However, the plan didn’t succeed because, after they discussed the strategy and left the bathroom, Huo Sining was already ready to perform, with her makeup and styling complete. It’s unclear who did her makeup, but even the always confident Wu Jingyi, who considered herself prettier than Huo Sining, was amazed when she saw Huo Sining’s makeup and felt a bit inferior.

Huo Sining had always been a bumpkin, yet Wu Jingyi hadn’t expected that in just one or two years, this woman would completely transform into a fair beauty. Especially after her elaborate outfit, the woman’s nobility and ethereal charm couldn’t be concealed, and her glimpse was dazzlingly stunning.

Still, Wu Jingyi would never admit that Huo Sining was prettier than her, attributing it all to Huo Sining’s exquisite dress and high-end jewelry. Thinking, if those clothes and jewelry were worn by her, she would surely look prettier than this woman.

Remembering these things filled Wu Jingyi with envy. She knew that her secret attempts with An Rong to plot against Huo Sining were underhanded, but the plan never had time to be executed; it was just a spur-of-the-moment idea. When they secretly discussed it in the bathroom, only she, An Rong, and Sister Liu were present, so logically, Huo Sining shouldn’t know.

Could it be possible that this revenge was really by Huo Sining against her and An Rong?

Wu Jingyi contemplated further, but felt even more bewildered.

Because yesterday backstage, she and An Rong hadn’t confronted Huo Sining directly, not even exchanging words. The only encounter was when Huo Sining was about to go on stage and flashed them a smile as they emerged from the restroom. They didn’t have any physical contact during this process.

If this was Huo Sining’s doing, how did she manage it?

Wu Jingyi couldn’t figure it out, yet couldn’t think of anyone else with the opportunity or audacity to retaliate against her and An Rong.

The agent saw Wu Jingyi’s expression and knew she had someone in mind and couldn’t help but ask: ”Who have you and An Rong offended?”

Wu Jingyi knew the agent meant well, so she recounted everything that happened at the TV station yesterday in detail. At the end, she hesitantly said:

”I’m not completely sure, but I suspect Huo Sining the most. When I think back, the smile she gave me and An Rong before she went on stage yesterday was very strange, as if she knew we’d be unlucky today.”
