Reborn As Super Heiress

When Liang Jingyi came to the Huo family with the contract, to the Huo family, Liang Jingyi’s arrival was like delivering coal in the snow.

Huo Yong owed a huge gambling debt, and his son had injured someone and was being pursued by the victim’s family for compensation. It was when they were besieged and tormented, that Liang Jingyi’s three million in compensation was timely rain for the Huo family.

All three members of the Huo family desperately hoped to escape their current predicament, especially since Xu Lian was a greedy vampire. Suddenly being able to get three million in compensation, how could this family refuse? Naturally, without a moment of hesitation, they signed the contract, completely disregarding the life or death of their niece, Huo Sining.

Liang Jingyi’s goal was successfully achieved; no one pursued the cause of Huo Sining’s death. Moreover, since someone from the Gu Family was involved, there was even less chance of anyone wanting to investigate the truth.

However, what Liang Jingyi never imagined was that although she thought she had executed everything flawlessly, she did not attract the attention of the Huo family, but she did arouse Gu Xu’s suspicion.

In Liang Jingyi’s view, the least likely person to pursue this matter was Gu Xu, because he was the beneficiary of the entire affair.

Unfortunately, Liang Jingyi, despite all her calculations, did not account for the fact that in her game of chess, Gu Xu was not a piece she could control, but the one most likely to overthrow the entire board. The one she was so determined to kill, Huo Sining, was in fact Gu Xu’s Achilles’ heel.

So, Liang Jingyi suffered the most direct retribution. The way she dealt with Huo Sining that day, Gu Xu would not hold back in the slightest, deciding to deal with her in the same manner, even copying the organ donation tactic perfectly.

When Liang Jingyi heard the person outside the door mention voluntary organ donation, she vaguely realized she was finished. But she never imagined the person giving her revenge was none other than Gu Xu.

Gu Xu pushed open the door and walked in as Liang Jingyi was struggling. Upon seeing Liang Jingyi, the corner of his mouth even curved up, revealing a cruel smile.

”It’s you!” Liang Jingyi was stupefied when she saw Gu Xu.

She hadn’t expected the person who captured her to be Gu Xu, leaving her utterly perplexed: ”Why?”

Gu Xu did not look at Liang Jingyi, but focused on Zhao Mingcheng, who was pretending to be asleep on the side. He said coldly, ”If you’re awake, just open your eyes. There’s no need to pretend anymore; the drug’s effect has long passed!”

Upon hearing Gu Xu’s words, Zhao Mingcheng’s body trembled slightly, but he still didn’t open his eyes.

Gu Xu’s gaze revealed unprecedented ruthlessness: ”Since you refuse to open your eyes, that’s fine. In a moment, I think there’s no need for anesthesia; we’ll proceed directly with the surgery. I suppose Mr. Zhao should be able to endure the pain of a heart extraction.”

Upon hearing the words ”heart extraction,” Zhao Mingcheng’s entire demeanor changed, and he began to tremble, trembling as he opened his eyes, his gaze filled with fear.

His face was deathly pale, his lips quivering, and after a while, he asked, ”Young Master Gu, I... I didn’t do anything to offend you, did I? Why do you want to...” To take my life?

Gu Xu’s face was cold, giving Zhao Mingcheng a disdainful glance: ”I never expected that under my command, there would be someone like you, who managed to climb to a senior position in the subsidiary. Truly, I was blind.”

”For a small sum of fifty thousand, you deceived her feelings and even cost her her life. Such a person as you deserves to be torn apart, to feel what it’s like to be at the mercy of others!”

Initially, Zhao Mingcheng was totally confused about the situation, but upon hearing Gu Xu’s words, he immediately understood.

Mr. Gu was actually capturing him and Liang Jingyi to avenge that woman, Huo Sining?!

But how could that be possible? When he pretended to be with that Huo Sining, she never mentioned that she knew this Young Master Gu.

Moreover, that woman was always alone. Her only relative was that scummy uncle’s family. She was just an orphan with no power or status.

If he had known that Huo Sining had Young Master Gu as such a strong backer, even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn’t have dared to conspire with Liang Jingyi to plot against Huo Sining.

It’s important to know that not only was Gu Xu the president of the Shengtang Group, but he was also the second young master of the Gu Family, holding an influential position in the Imperial Capital, unlike ordinary second-generation officials or rich kids.

On the other side, Liang Jingyi was also dumbfounded. No matter how much she calculated, she never expected that Gu Xu would genuinely stand up for that bitch Huo Sining. This left her utterly confused, and she couldn’t help but say:

”Mr. Gu, isn’t there some misunderstanding? Huo Sining agreed to donate her organs, and I followed your instructions by providing three million in compensation. You personally reviewed all of this.”

When Gu Xu heard Liang Jingyi mention that he personally reviewed it, his body stiffened, his expression twisted, and his entire face became hideous:

”Miss Liang, you tampered with those documents back then. Do you think I wouldn’t find out?”

”The person you messed with had no illness at all. The so-called cancer spreading was entirely fabricated by you.”

”This Huo Sining was your high school classmate and childhood confidante, yet you harmed her so viciously. What kind of enmity did you have with her?”

Gu Xu’s gaze unconsciously fell to Liang Jingyi’s neck, his eyes flashing as he sneered:

”I guess, Miss Liang, your eagerness to kill your confidante has only one purpose, right? To silence her, so no one can ever uncover your secret. Am I right or wrong?”

Upon seeing Gu Xu’s gaze, Liang Jingyi instinctively shrank back, trying to hide the pendant on her neck, but unfortunately, both her hands were tied, rendering her struggles useless.

”Mr. Gu, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I didn’t tamper with those documents. All those files were given to me by Huo Sining herself. She said she didn’t have long to live and hoped I could help sell her organs so she could get money to save her uncle’s family. I thought she was telling the truth, that woman deceived me.”

Liang Jingyi dared not look into Gu Xu’s eyes, avoiding his gaze guiltily, but her mouth continued to twist words in an attempt to exonerate herself.
