Reborn As Super Heiress

Huo Sining and Su Qingqing were gleefully discussing the Zhou Family and Wu Family’s mess, while Zhou Mei stormed home angrily and smashed a vase as soon as she entered.

"What happened, what happened?"

Mother Zhou rushed out anxiously upon hearing the noise, and immediately saw Zhou Mei’s twisted expression.

Zhou Mei glared fiercely at Mother Zhou: "It’s your fault, with your lousy idea to flatter Wu Linger. The result? That bitch embarrassed me in public!"

Mother Zhou’s expression stiffened at the words, a flash of anger and aversion crossed her eyes. She quickly reached out to comfort her daughter, while trying to persuade her:

"Your father and grandfather are already working on it, so just be patient. Isn’t Wu Linger showing interest in Zhen recently? Soon she’ll be married to your brother. Once she marries him, dealing with her will be as easy as saying the word. Don’t worry, your mother will definitely be on your side at that time, and will never let her reign over us!"

Zhou Mei’s anger and resentment finally eased a bit after hearing Mother Zhou’s words. She smashed a few more ornaments to calm her rage before raising her head to say to Mother Zhou:

"Mom, you can’t be biased, only thinking about having my brother marry Wu Linger. You should find a way to get me into the Wu Family too. Wu Hao is an idiot, once I marry him, the Wu Family will be in my hands. He’ll go east if I say east, and west if I say west!"

Mother Zhou showed a troubled expression: "I can’t help you with that. You know our family’s situation. Madam Wu and I used to have tea together, but now she doesn’t even answer my calls. Your father and grandfather have pinned their hopes on your brother. Of course it would be good for you to marry into the Wu Family, but you’ll have to figure it out on your own."

Zhou Mei’s expression stiffened slightly: "Dad and Grandpa are confused. Even if Wu Linger marries into our family, the Wu Family might not help us. A married daughter is like splashed water; once Wu Linger is married, she won’t have any say in Wu Family matters, and may even become abandoned. Aren’t you afraid of plotting in vain?"

Mother Zhou shook her head: "That won’t happen. The current head of the Wu Family is Madam Wu, and she adores her daughter Wu Linger. She won’t just stand by and watch her daughter suffer. Once the marriage is set, the Wu Family won’t abandon us!"

Zhou Mei, seeing Mother Zhou’s stubbornness, felt very upset. The Zhou Family’s bias was too severe. They always prioritize her brother, never leveling the playing field, and even now, no one considers her. This made Zhou Mei very unwilling and resentful.

She secretly gritted her teeth but felt helpless.

If the Zhou Family wouldn’t help her, she’d struggle to achieve her goal on her own. She knew that although Wu Hao was a fool, he had the Wu Family as his backing, and wouldn’t look at her. To bring him under her control, she’d have to have him fall for her wholeheartedly.

However, Zhou Mei had been mingling in the affluent circles for years and had heard something about Wu Hao. She knew he was a playboy, indulging in romance with countless women, and couldn’t settle down.

To reel in Wu Hao, there was only one way: use public pressure to force his hand. But without the Zhou Family’s intervention, Zhou Mei couldn’t pull this off alone.

Zhou Mei was in a foul mood, and after venting her anger, she drove off intending to go out, only to see Ye Zixin waiting outside the courtyard gate.

Ye Zixin had been waiting outside for a long time. Previously, when she dated Zhou Zhen, she had free access to the Zhou Family; no one ever stopped her. But recently, Zhou Zhen broke up with her, threw out the things she left in the old house, and instructed the servants not to let Ye Zixin enter without permission.

Unable to enter the Zhou Family gate, Ye Zixin could only wait outside. She wanted to see Zhou Zhen again and was determined to win him back by any means. The Zhou Family was the only wealthy circle she had been in contact with for years. Even if the Zhou Family went bankrupt, they had more assets than Ye Zixin could ever imagine, things she couldn’t earn in a lifetime.

Having tried hard to snatch him from Su Qingqing, with the prospect of marrying into a wealthy family just ahead, she couldn’t accept this sudden change. It’s why Ye Zixin discarded her dignity to come looking for Zhou Zhen.

But she hadn’t expected to come face to face with Zhou Mei instead of Zhou Zhen.

Zhou Mei, already in a bad mood, felt a rush of anger upon seeing Ye Zixin, as if she’d hit a target. She slammed the brakes and stopped right in front of Ye Zixin, looking at her coldly:

"Ye Zixin, you’ve already broken up with my brother, what are you doing here at our house? I’m telling you, my Zhou Family will never accept a scheming, poor woman like you. Go back to where you came from. If you keep standing here, I’ll have someone throw you out!"

Ye Zixin’s face turned red: "Sister Mei, how can you say that about me? I really love Zhou Zhen. We only had an argument, not a breakup. He’s just mad at me. I’ll apologize to him. Can you tell me where he is?"

Zhou Mei sneered: "You love Zhou Zhen? Oh, don’t think I don’t know your real motives. Whether you fancy my brother or our family’s wealth, I am not blind! You think everyone is a fool, but my Zhou Family isn’t stupid!"

Ye Zixin’s eyes brimmed with tears, looking pitiful: "Sister Mei, I didn’t. You misunderstood me..."

In the past, Zhou Mei and Ye Zixin got along well, naturally seeing everything good in Ye Zixin. But now, with Ye Zixin dumped by Zhou Zhen, Zhou Mei found everything about Ye Zixin displeasing—especially her feigned pitiful act, which made Zhou Mei feel sick:

"Enough with the fake act. Let me tell you, my brother isn’t interested in you. Not to mention Su Qingqing, even Wu Linger is way ahead of you. What can you do aside from playing the victim? Your ’white lotus’ act, pretending to be pitiful, might fool men, but it won’t work on me! Acting all slutty, it’s disgusting!"

Ye Zixin’s expression froze, instinctively lowering her head as intense hatred filled her eyes and she clenched her fists tightly, wishing to confront Zhou Mei.
