Reborn As Super Heiress

Next, Huo Sining watched as Gu Xu unleashed a furious revenge on the Liang Family.

The Liang Family’s business nosedived because Shengtang intervened. The Liang Family lost several major projects, and for a time, they couldn’t maintain their cash flow and ultimately had to declare bankruptcy.

Liang Pengzhi begged around, but those partners and old friends who used to treat him politely now showed no sympathy when he called, with no one willing to lend a hand.

To make matters worse, Liang Jinghong and Liang Junqi were recklessly squandering money and even gambling horses with others, eventually mortgaging shares in other companies invested by the Liang Family, resulting in a total loss.

After hearing this news, Liang Pengzhi no longer had the ambition of his youth. A metallic taste rose in his throat; he suddenly collapsed and never got up again.

While Liang Pengzhi was around, he could still communicate with certain departments. In consideration of Liang Pengzhi, some influential figures would give him some respect, at least ensuring the Liang Family wasn’t truly cornered.

But once Liang Pengzhi fell, everyone scattered, and the Liang Family was thoroughly finished. Liang Ruicheng was ineffectual, and his children were all failures. The family’s assets were sold off and mortgaged, leaving little of value.

Liang Jingyi had hoped that by being recognized by the family, she could earn the same status and inheritance as Liang Jinghong and Liang Junqi. However, she thought too optimistically. What kind of people were Liang Jinghong and Liang Junqi, and how could they let her benefit? After Liang Jingyi was brought back into the Liang Family, the siblings constantly excluded her, and she gained no advantage.

The only things she gained were the title of Miss Liang and the resources and funding the Liang Family had provided over the years.

With Liang Pengzhi paralyzed and unable to speak, the household naturally became dominated by Old Madam Liang and Liang Ruicheng. Initially, it was Liang Pengzhi’s decision to bring Liang Jingyi back. Yet neither Old Madam Liang nor Liang Ruicheng truly accepted Liang Jingyi.

Especially whenever Old Madam Liang saw Liang Jingyi, she was reminded of Huang Chengxiang and of the time she took in the man Huang Chengxiang discarded. For Old Madam Liang, this affair forced a legitimate wife to leave with nothing, making her a scandal among high society in the capital for her entire life. Old Madam Liang despised Huang Chengxiang, and it was impossible for her to genuinely be kind to Liang Jingyi.

Seeing that Liang Pengzhi was incapacitated, Old Madam Liang naturally wouldn’t show Liang Jingyi any face, using the excuse of Liang Jingyi’s unclear background to expel her from the Liang Family.

After leaving the Liang Family, Liang Jingyi was overwhelmed with resentment and immediately thought of Young Master Gu, whom she had interacted with previously.

After all, she had contributed by providing a heart, so she assumed she had earned gratitude from the Gu Family. Now that she was driven out by the Liang Family without explanation, Liang Jingyi couldn’t accept it and naturally thought of seeking help from Gu Xu.

She naïvely believed that for her past assistance to Young Master Gu’s friend, Young Master Gu would definitely help her once he learned of her situation. She wasn’t too ambitious; she merely wanted to reclaim the portion of the Liang Family’s wealth that belonged to her.

Thinking of this, Liang Jingyi immediately called Gu Xu and requested his help.

Liang Jingyi thought she might need to reason with him and show her emotions. Therefore, she was somewhat anxious while making the call, considering Young Master Gu’s reputation wasn’t very friendly, and negotiating with such a person was akin to negotiating with a tiger.

But what Liang Jingyi didn’t expect was that when she made the call, there seemed to be no surprise from the other side, and they instead agreed readily.

Liang Jingyi was overjoyed, both excited and proud. She recalled the scene of Huo Sining being pushed into the sea to feed the fish, and thought soon she would acquire the Liang Family’s assets, truly becoming Miss Liang, and linking herself to the prestigious Gu Family. She felt immense satisfaction and began to despise and mock Huo Sining, the foolish woman.

However, Liang Jingyi wouldn’t have thought that the call to Gu Xu would be her own death sentence.

When she followed Gu Xu’s directions to a certain hotel, even entertaining unrealistic fantasies that Young Master Gu might be interested in her, she was elated. But upon entering the hotel, she was met not by Gu Xu, but by a heavy blow.

As soon as she entered the room, her vision went dark. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself tied up on a ship, feeling panicked and confused. More startling was realizing not only was she tied, but she was lying on an operating table. Less than two meters away was another operating table, and lying on it was someone she knew, Zhao Mingcheng, who had previously helped her for a fifty-thousand reward!

Liang Jingyi was dumbfounded. She struggled relentlessly against the ropes binding her, but to her dismay, the more she struggled, the tighter they became. Finally, she exhausted all her strength but was unable to break free.

Liang Jingyi’s gaze swept around the ship’s cabin. The more she looked, the more terrified she became, and her face turned pale as chilling fear climbed from her feet.

She recognized it. No wonder the cabin seemed familiar. This... this was the same ship used to deal with Huo Sining. The cabin and operating table were the very places Huo Sining had been before she died!

Liang Jingyi shivered involuntarily, her mind blank, unable to clear her thoughts. Wasn’t she supposed to meet Young Master Gu, how did she end up on this ship, tied up? What was going on?

"Boss, the documents are ready; the procedures are flawless. Even if investigated, it would seem these two volunteered to donate their organs—no one will suspect a thing."

Just then, a voice suddenly sounded outside the cabin, cold and emotionless like handling business routinely. But these words caused Liang Jingyi to tremble uncontrollably.

What was meant by voluntarily donating organs? Was this referring to her and Zhao Mingcheng?

Liang Jingyi’s eyes were filled with terror. This voluntary organ donation trick was exactly what she used on the foolish Huo Sining!
