Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 190: Chapter 187 Kindness and Ambition Chapter 190: Chapter 187 Kindness and Ambition Tang Yinuo noticed the scene outside the window and saw Wu Jingyi following a man into a nice car, immediately curling her lip in disdain.

“She’s actually getting into a Bentley, this bumpkin really knows how to pull strings, hooking up with such a rich guy!”

Sarcasm laced Tang Yinuo’s words, and it was clear to anyone listening. Her two roommates exchanged glances, but said nothing.

“Hmph, don’t tell me she’s become a mistress or a second wife, country folks are just morally degenerate, always homewrecking and destroying other people’s families!”

Tang Yinuo spoke with righteous indignation, but what she was truly thinking in her heart, no one knew.

On the other side, Liang Jinhong drove Wu Jingyi toward Wangfujing Street, with Wu Jingyi sitting in the passenger seat, her thoughts drifting.

Reminiscing about the scene in the club that day, her heart felt warm.

That day, she had tripped and fallen at Liang Jinhong’s feet, overcome with embarrassment and anger, and could only sit on the ground, crying silently.

But unexpectedly, at that moment, Liang Jinhong reached out his hand toward her, like a prince rescuing a princess, gentle and handsome.

Afterward, he had taken her around the club, talked a lot with her, and even gentlemanly escorted her back to school in the end.

However, the words of Sister Chen made Wu Jingyi feel a bit nervous again.

The Liang Family might not be as vast as Shengtang Group, but it was still a hereditary family with generations of accumulation, possessing heritage and depth that ordinary nouveau riche could not compare to.

If she could marry into the Liang Family successfully, she would instantly become a true lady of a distinguished family, an enviable status that countless women yearned for yet couldn’t achieve.

Just thinking about it made Wu Jingyi feel a surge of heat, and she was overwhelmed with excitement.

She could only lower her eyelashes, hiding her inner fervor and ambition.

Her long hair fluttering, the light blue dress made her skin look even fairer, and every smile and frown oozed a kind of delicate and innocent charm.

Liang Jinhong, while driving, couldn’t help but steal glances at the girl beside him, finding a corner of his heart soften.

He was convinced that this girl might be a gift from heaven to him.

Thinking about the day he met Wu Jingyi at the club, he felt a stirring in his heart and suddenly asked, “I heard from Sister Chen that you’re an orphan and that you worked at the club to pay for your school fees?”

After meeting Wu Jingyi, Liang Jinhong felt his heart go out to the girl who cried so pitifully.

Therefore, after sending Wu Jingyi back to school, he returned to the club to find Sister Chen and asked about Wu Jingyi.

As expected, once he asked, Sister Chen hesitated for a moment before revealing the truth.

Turned out, Wu Jingyi was an orphan who had come from Rongcheng to study in the Imperial Capital, and because she couldn’t gather enough tuition fees, she came to know Sister Chen who helped her find a job as a waitress in the club to earn her tuition, not a companion girl.

“The club pays more than other places, and I can work part-time at night, so…”

Wu Jingyi bit her lip, feigning distress, looking genuinely heartbroken.

She received a call from Sister Chen not long after coming back from the club that night and found out Liang Jinhong had gone to ask Sister Chen about her.

Liang Jinhong clearly had taken a liking to Wu Jingyi, captivated by her innocence. Knowing Wu Jingyi as a hostess would definitely matter to him, which was why Sister Chen deliberately concealed the truth.

Sister Chen lied to Liang Jinhong and was worried about being exposed, so she hurriedly called Wu Jun to let him know.

Wu Jingyi understood the reason behind Sister Chen’s lie to Liang Jinhong, which was exactly what Wu Jingyi had wanted.

However, Sister Chen was no philanthropist; she wouldn’t engage in a losing deal.

Wu Jingyi knew that regardless of whether she could eventually win over Liang Jinhong, she would have to pay a price for everything Sister Chen had done for her.

At this thought, a trace of determination flashed in Wu Jingyi’s heart. No matter what, she had to find a way to latch onto the towering tree that was Liang Jinhong, because she had no other choice.

Liang Jinhong, hearing what Wu Jingyi said, felt relieved.

Just as he thought, how could a girl as naive, beautiful, and pure as Wu Jingyi work as a bar hostess?

Since coming of age, Liang Jinhong had been arranged countless arranged dates by his family, meeting mainly daughters of wealthy homes. These women were either spoiled and capricious or hypocritical, upholding all sorts of prestigious family rules, each wearing a mask, presenting one face in front and another behind.

Never had he met a girl like Wu Jingyi, who seemed as delicate and frail as a little bunny, appearing to falter in a breeze but not the slightest bit spoiled or arrogant. Instead, she was tender and soft-spoken, very gentle and mild.

Seeing Wu Jingyi appear frightened by his questioning, Liang Jinhong felt a certain softness in a corner of his heart and hastily comforted her:
“Don’t be afraid. I was just asking and I’m not blaming you. I will help you with your tuition fees in the future. You can quit your job at the club. You’re young and so innocent, a place like that is mixed and if you offend someone, it could be bad.”

“But that’s not right…” Wu Jingyi lowered her head upon hearing this, “I have no connection to Mr. Liang, how could I let you pay for my tuition? I consider you a friend, and it’s not for your money…”

Liang Jinhong laughed: “I know that, but as a girl, you really shouldn’t go to such a place. It was good that you met me last time, but if you had met someone else, you might have gotten into trouble. If you really won’t accept it, then think of it as a loan from me, how about that? After you’ve graduated and found a job to earn money, you can pay me back.”

Wu Jingyi hesitated for a moment before reluctantly agreeing.

Liang Jinhong, however, was even happier. Although the girl was poor, she had her principles. Despite her gentle demeanor, she was able to stick to her bottom line, which showed her inherently good nature.

With this thought, Liang Jinhong’s appreciation and affection for Wu Jingyi grew even stronger.

Sensing Liang Jinhong’s adoring gaze, a warm current surged in Wu Jingyi’s heart, and a hint of pride involuntarily showed in her eyes, but quickly disappeared, maintaining her timid, demure facade.

This date involved shopping, dining, and watching a movie, none of which were missed. Liang Jinhong was also willing to spend on a woman, buying Wu Jingyi four or five sets of high-end brand clothes and a set of luxury cosmetics while strolling along Wangfujing Street.

Wu Jingyi pretended to be modest, firmly refusing to accept them.

But a man like Liang Jinhong loved this kind of play. If she had directly asked for them, he might not have bought them. The more Wu Jingyi refused, the more his male ego urged him to buy.

Of course, the result was that Wu Jingyi feigned difficulty in rejecting and “anxiously” accepted the clothes.

As Liang Jinhong dropped her at her school, Wu Jingyi, like a proud princess, entered the dormitory flaunting her many bags, much to the chagrin of Tang Yinuo, who watched from across the room with clenched teeth.
