Chapter 409: Chapter 405: Bloodsucking Locust

Wu Jingyi had never visited the Liang Family, but she was well aware of the behaviors and styles of the elite families.

These prominent hereditary families loved to flaunt their backgrounds and family histories. An orphan could be labeled as “Cinderella” or referred to as a “downtrodden Princess,” depending entirely on the attitude of the Liang Family People toward her.

However, if she was tied to a bunch of poor relatives, the outcos would be entirely different.

Because she couldn’t sever this blood relationship, but the Liang Family definitely did not want anything to do with a bunch of uneducated and impoverished old peasants.

The identity of a peasant girl would absolutely not be accepted by the Liang Family People, Wu Jingyi knew this deeply, so she was so anxious and angry, eager to drive Wu Dekai away from her side, hoping he would never reappear before her.

Wu Dekai clearly also realized the reason behind Wu Jingyi’s aversion to him, but far from being annoyed, he was rather excited.

As long as Wu Jingyi had anything to fear about him, it was as if he had caught her in his grip. His ultimate goal was not to recognize relatives for the joy of family reunion; he only wanted money, so he didn’t take Wu Jingyi’s words to heart at all.

A blood relationship was sothing that couldn’t even be severed if one wished to, let alone be denied by Wu Jingyi.

Wu Dekai simply wanted to get so money from Wu Jingyi without considering anything like severing blood ties.

Since Wu Jingyi had a rich man, in the future, he would be that man’s father-in-law. For a son-in-law to support his father-in-law with living expenses is only natural, so did she think she could make him completely disappear with just a bit of money? It wouldn’t be that easy.

“Just give

a hundred thousand. Your sister has to go to school now, and our house is so broken down it needs to be fixed—hundred thousand might not even be enough.”

When Wu Dekai spoke of money, he was not at all vague. In the Imperial Capital, where there was an abundance of rich people, a hundred thousand yuan was re pocket change to them, falling from their hands like loose change.

Wu Jingyi let out a slight sigh of relief when she heard Wu Dekai ask for a hundred thousand, smirking to herself at the naivety of this bumpkin. A hundred thousand yuan to break father-daughter ties. Once she married into the Liang Family, the wealth and status she would gain were not sothing hundreds of such sums could buy.

“This house is not mine; it’s rented. I’m not married to my boyfriend yet, and his money isn’t under my control at the mont. I don’t have so much savings on hand.”

Although a hundred thousand yuan didn’t seem like a significant amount to Wu Jingyi, she indeed didn’t have that much at hand; although Liang Jinhong was generous to her, he rarely gave her much cash to spend. She had saved up less than fifty thousand yuan so far.

Hearing Wu Jingyi say she didn’t have that much money, Wu Dekai didn’t seem to care and waved his hand, saying, “Just give

whatever you have for now.”

Wu Jingyi was sowhat surprised; she hadn’t expected Wu Dekai to be so easy to talk to. She took out thirty thousand yuan from the house and handed it over to Wu Dekai.

Without a word, Wu Dekai snatched the three stacks of bills and stuffed them into his chest.

Wu Jingyi was a bit uneasy, “I’ve given you the money, you better not co looking for

again. My boyfriend’s family is very fierce. They all know I’m an orphan. If they find out you’ve caused trouble, they’ll definitely call the police, and then there’ll be no good end for you.”

Although Wu Jingyi’s words sounded like threats, Wu Dekai could clearly see apprehension and defensiveness in her eyes.

Wu Dekai, an old hand at gambling and a rascal, knew that the more afraid Wu Jingyi was of their relationship being discovered, the more she played into his hands.

He couldn’t wait for Wu Jingyi to just quietly provide funds for him, and then, when he ran out of money, she would give him more to spend. Hey, that way, he could occasionally hit the gambling halls again.

As for Wu Jingyi’s talk about calling the police or the like, Wu Dekai didn’t take it seriously. Having a stepdaughter give him money to spend, only a fool would refuse!

Wu Dekai, holding the money, left the apartnt with pride, eager to find a casino in the Imperial Capital and indulge his gambling addiction—as he had lost thousands last ti, even his travel expenses to the Imperial Capital had been funded by Zhang Xiaoli’s family. He had refrained from gambling for several days and was already itching to return to it.

Seeing Wu Dekai leave, Wu Jingyi couldn’t help but take a deep breath. The tension in her face finally relaxed.

But at this mont, she still didn’t know the kind of trouble she had stirred up.

A gambling addict, like a bloodsucking locust, once clings to you, it’s hard to shake off unless they’ve drained your last drop of blood—they never easily let go.

The woman neighbor across from Wu Jingyi didn’t know what Wu Jingyi had said to the strange man she had brought into the apartnt.

It was only when the neighbor ca back from grocery shopping that she happened to see that middle-aged man leaving the elevator, beaming with delight. He strutted out of the building like a gust of wind, seeming as though he had just gotten a huge bargain.

The neighbor found it odd and couldn’t figure out what it ant, so she didn’t dwell on it.

Having dealt with a major hassle, Wu Jingyi felt a sigh of relief. Still, Wu Dekai’s sudden appearance also had a significant impact on her.

The night is long, and dreams are many; she felt she must accelerate her plans to find a way to marry into the Liang Family.

Before this, she had to enter the Liang Family People’s field of vision and find a way to make them acknowledge and accept her. That was the most crucial step.

But Wu Jingyi lacked experience in this area, which is why she thought of the person who had initially introduced her to the club and helped her et Liang Jinhong—Sister Hong.

Sister Hong had guided many won, so of whom had, through their prowess, managed to climb into the beds of wealthy n and successfully changed their fate by securing their position as legitimate wives. Given her experience in this industry, Wu Jingyi wanted to seek advice from Sister Hong to see if she could provide so good ideas.

Of course, seeking out Sister Hong was just one of the strategies. Wu Jingyi was also secretly advancing Plan B; if Sister Hong couldn’t provide any substantial and effective ideas, then Wu Jingyi would have to ensure that Plan B would succeed.

A fierce determination flashed in Wu Jingyi’s eyes, because she was well aware that only by officially becoming Mrs. Liang could she truly join the ranks of the wealthy elite.

Compared to Wu Jingyi’s incessant scheming, Huo Sining’s circumstances these days were far better.

The Huang Family was busily preparing for the ancestral worship at the Huang Family Ancestral Hall. A previously unt aunt and a great-uncle from Guangcheng, who were far away, had arrived in the Imperial Capital the day before Lunar New Year’s Eve. At last, the entire family was reunited.

Huang Chengli, ranking third among the Huang brothers and two years older than Huo Sining’s grandmother Huang Chengxiang, was now an elderly man with white hair.

Seeing Huo Sining, the old man’s tears stread down, as he kept holding on to Huo Sining, unwilling to let go.

The Huang Family’s younger generation of siblings and cousins was indeed not small in number. Huang Chengxin had a daughter nad Huang Hongnan, about the sa age as Huang Hongying, who was married in Spring City. Upon hearing about Huo Sining’s situation, she had also co to the Imperial Capital with her husband and children.
