The Heiress's Game

He Jiawei has been in a very bad mood these past few days.

He originally thought that the marriage alliance with the Gu family was a sure thing—his father personally took charge, two private jets were used to make a grand entrance, and five percent of the shares of Daheng Group were given as a dowry. Such sincerity was unmatched in the entire business world.

And what happened? The old man from the Gu family dismissed his father with a simple "My daughter has already made arrangements," without even leaving him a decent meal.

When has the He family ever suffered such humiliation?

What frustrated him even more was that he couldn't even get Gu Yunjin's contact information.

He secretly asked around in the group and someone said that the second young lady of the Gu family had just returned from abroad and no one in the circle had her WeChat.

Someone sent him a business card, and when he added it, he found it was a WeChat business account.

He spent three days searching for Gu Yunjin's name online, but apart from a few pieces of information about companies related to the Gu Group, there was nothing—no social media accounts, no personal photos, no scandals or gossip, as clean as a mannequin.

In an era where even wealthy elderly women share their daily lives online, a 26-year-old heiress who doesn't even have a single selfie online isn't being modest; she's defying humanity.

He nestled on the sofa in his villa, feeling increasingly resentful, and several thoughts raced through his mind—should he find someone to act as a go-between?

Should we stage a chance encounter? If that doesn't work, we can use some tricks to make it a fait accompli, so that Gu Jia will have no choice but to accept it.

The more he thought about it, the more feasible the idea seemed. He picked up his phone and called a few of his usual friends, asking if they knew any reliable channels to "handle" this kind of thing.

When the phone call was on its third attempt, He Daheng pushed open the door and came in.

Before He Jiawei could react, his father snatched his phone and threw it onto the sofa.

"Do you want your father to die even faster?" He Daheng stood in the center of the living room, his expression not one of anger, but of utter despair, like the thought, "How could I have given birth to such an idiot?"

"Who is Gu Zhenxing? He is the head of the Gu family in Dahai City, a founding member of the Zhaoyang Society, and everyone in the real estate industry has to treat him with respect and call him Brother Gu."

Your dad has to call him "brother" in front of him, but you want to force his daughter to have a child?

Do you think Gu Yunjin is the kind of girl you can just hug in a bar? Or one of those young models and celebrities you can just throw money at?

Let me tell you, I don't care how you play around outside, it's no big deal if you mess around with a few women and spend some money to settle things—but not with Gu Yunjin.

She's Gu Zhenxing's daughter! The second young lady of the Gu family in Dahai City! You dare touch a single hair on her head?

That's not just your problem, it's a matter between the He family and the Gu family!

He took a deep breath. "Your dad is rich, but look at my net worth. I still have to be polite to Gu Zhenxing."

The Gu family isn't just some random nouveau riche on the street. When they had a rooftop apartment in Victoria Harbour, your grandfather was still farming in his hometown!

Do you think you can fool anyone with your underhanded tactics?

He Jiawei was so scolded by his father that he was completely dejected.

He was spoiled from a young age. He Daheng used corporal punishment on his two older brothers, but he doted on his youngest son, who was born late in life. He bought him whatever he wanted from childhood to adulthood, and he always let his mistakes go.

But this time was different. His father's gaze was genuinely angry—not the anger of disappointment, but the fear that "if you keep acting up, even I won't be able to protect you."

After He Daheng finished cursing, he stood in the middle of the living room, took a few breaths, picked up his phone, and threw it back to He Jiawei: "You better stay put."

During this time, you are not allowed to mention the Gu family again, you are not allowed to see Gu Yunjin, and you are not allowed to tell anyone that you want to pursue her. We'll talk about it again once things have calmed down. Also—”

He paused for a moment, then said, "The resort in Snow City just opened. Why don't you go stay there for a few days and relax?"

Call a few reliable friends, and don't bring those shady buddies. Remember, behave yourself.

You still haven't settled your debt of over eight million from last time. If you cause trouble again, don't blame me for suspending your card.

Upon hearing the words "card suspension," He Jiawei immediately became obedient.

He nodded, picked up his phone, scrolled through his contacts, and sent messages to a few friends he thought were reliable.

Then, leaning back on the sofa, he looked at Gu Yunjin's profile picture from the banquet again, gritted his teeth, exited the photo album, and tossed his phone onto the coffee table.

Alright, let's go to Snow City for a few days first. As for Gu Yunjin, we'll talk about her later.
