Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 55: Chapter 53 Su Qingqing’s Misunderstanding

Indeed, it wasn’t more than a couple of days before Huo Sining received a call from Su Qingqing. She said the transfer was all set and asked Wu Jun to take Wu Ya to Normal University Affiliated High School to register.

Wu Jun was thrilled by the news and without a second thought, he picked up Yaya from the school for the children of migrant workers and headed to the Normal University Affiliated High School.

By the afternoon when he returned, Wu Ya had officially become a student of the 8th grade B class at the Normal University Affiliated High School, and all the transfer procedures were completed.

Seeing Wu Ya wearing the school uniform of Normal University Affiliated High School with a happy face, Wu Jun felt a mix of joy and bitterness that was hard to articulate.

Huo Sining also began to get busy as S University was about to start the semester, which necessitated her reappearance in Yellow River.

To prepare a month’s supply of wild aquatic products, she went all out, releasing Spiritual Energy and then began to fish without restraint.

This time, with a truck at her disposal, she wasn’t worried about transportation and caught nearly a ton of wild river fish, along with a considerable amount of clams and live shrimp.

When Wu Jun arrived the next day at the address Huo Sining had given him over the phone, he was taken aback by the sight of the lively fish jumping around.

Since Wu Jun had come to Xianyu Shop, he had grown increasingly trusting of Huo Sining. Despite his confusion at the sight of so many fish and shrimp, he didn’t overthink it and assumed they were sourced from a fisherman. Without saying much, he started transferring the fish to the truck.

The truck had been prepared in advance with plenty of water containers, so the fish poured into the vehicle didn’t need to worry about dying.

However, with so many fish crowded together, they could easily suffocate, and there could be no delay. Thus, as soon as the truck was loaded, Wu Jun sped back to the fish shop.

Only after all the fish had been placed into the large pool did Huo Sining finally breathe a sigh of relief. She smiled at Wu Jun and said,

“Alright, that’s the stock replenished for the next month. I need to go register at the university and then undergo a month of military training. If anything comes up here, just give me a call.”

Wu Jun nodded. During this time, he had been learning the art of doing business from following Huo Sining and was slowly becoming capable of handling things on his own.

Although he occasionally encountered some troublesome customers, he could generally manage.

Huo Sining wasn’t worried about him running the shop alone. After all, she had opened the store just to make ends meet, so how much she earned didn’t matter to her.

Soon it was the day for college registration. Huo Sining was packing her luggage and hadn’t yet left when Su Qingqing arrived at the storefront, swinging her luxury car keys with a flattering smile on her face.

Huo Sining had no choice but to get in the car with her.

During this period, Su Qingqing had been very attentive to her and even went out of her way to help Yaya with the transfer procedures. But the main reason was that Su Qingqing had heard the rumor that had circulated after the private auction.

Since Su Jinyuan appeared at the banquet with a female companion, there was a rumor in their circles that the reason he had stayed away from women for so many years was that he had a woman stashed away and was playing a nurturing game. Now that the young girl was all grown up, he was finally seen with her in public.

As soon as Su Qingqing heard this gossip, she was scared to the point of jumping out of her skin, as if she had been injected with chicken blood, and set her mind to find out who that woman was. To her surprise, her investigation led her to Huo Sining.

At that moment, Su Qingqing was shocked. Given that her brother, the reserved Su Jinyuan, wasn’t going to reveal any useful information, she figured that his secretary, Secretary Lin, must know something.

So she pestered Secretary Lin with probing questions. Although he didn’t clarify explicitly, his hesitant and evasive words made Su Qingqing sense something odd.

Reflecting on the recent events, Su Qingqing abruptly realized she might have missed some valuable information.

Helping to buy property and selling ambergris, she had never seen her brother take such an interest in any woman over the years!

Moreover, why did brother have to bring Huo Sining to a private auction? Logically, he’s not into antiques, so how could he be interested in that kind of auction?

Seeing Secretary Lin stammering and hiding something, it looked like he was deliberately concealing something!

The more Su Qingqing thought about it, the closer she felt she was to the truth; she was convinced that Su Jinyuan must have feelings for Huo Sining!

This was completely different from what Ye Zixin had expected. She thought that once Su Qingqing learned about Huo Sining’s existence after spreading the news about her and Su Jinyuan, Su Qingqing certainly wouldn’t let it go without a fight.

But what she didn’t expect was that, upon learning about it, not only did Su Qingqing not intend to trouble Huo Sining, she was actually very excited.

Su Qingqing had always liked Huo Sining; having interacted with her for so long, she greatly admired Huo Sining’s genuine personality.

Moreover, Huo Sining was extremely decisive and clever in major matters, and her mature handling of things also earned Su Qingqing’s admiration.

Now that she knew her own brother actually had feelings for Huo Sining, Su Qingqing felt she definitely hadn’t misjudged her.

This new sister-in-law of hers was truly formidable; when she made a move, it was always impressive. She had somehow managed to move her brother, the thousand-year-old unmelting iceberg, which was nothing short of miraculous.

Thinking it over from every angle, Su Qingqing felt that she couldn’t just sit idly by. Since she had taken a liking to someone, it was time to take the initiative!

But her own brother, that taciturn man, definitely wasn’t the type to make the first move. No way around it, if brother couldn’t be relied upon, then she, as his sister, had to lend a hand. She had to get her brother married off; he couldn’t remain a bachelor forever, right?

Su Qingqing was someone who believed in action. She immediately began to make her move. She decided to stay close to her future sister-in-law, constantly on guard against all kinds of random suitors. She couldn’t let Huo Sining be snatched away by other wolves because her brother was too slow off the mark;

At the same time, she decided to show great kindness to her future sister-in-law, building a good relationship first. Hence, there was the scene of Su Qingqing driving Huo Sining to school in a luxury car on the first day of the semester.

Huo Sining felt uncomfortable under Su Qingqing’s eager gaze and couldn’t help but touch her own face: “What, is there something on my face?”

Su Qingqing shook her head: “No.”

“Then why do you keep staring at me? And with that weird look,” Huo Sining couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off and asked curiously.

Su Qingqing chuckled and suddenly said, “Right, after we register, I’ll take you to my home. My mom said she’d like to invite you over for dinner.”

“Your mom is inviting me to your house for dinner?!” Huo Sining’s eyes widened, “Why?”

“Er… it’s about the time you helped me pick up the ring. I accidentally let it slip, and when my mom heard about you, she insisted on inviting you over for a casual meal.”

Guilty flashed across Su Qingqing’s eyes. In reality, she had inadvertently let slip about her brother having someone in mind, and when her mother heard, she became ecstatic. Her mother kept pressing Su Jinyuan about who the girl was, and Su Qingqing had no choice but to sell out Huo Sining.

Mother Su had been yearning for a daughter-in-law for many years and finally heard such important news. She couldn’t just sit still. She insisted on Su Qingqing inviting Huo Sining to their house for dinner; if she didn’t complete the task, her allowance for the next month would be canceled. Su Qingqing had no choice but to accept the mission and proceed.

Huo Sining had long forgotten about the ring incident, and now that Su Qingqing brought it up again, she found it amusing: “You brought it up, I had already forgotten about it. It’s been so long, how could you slip up? You’re a real talent! By the way, how did things go with Zhou Zhen?”

Seeing that Huo Sining didn’t reject the dinner invitation, Su Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

“Of course, the engagement is off. I would never marry such a scumbag. He fought with his family for a while, and a bit earlier, my dad and my brother went directly to meet the elders of the Zhou family. In front of the Zhou family, they tore up the engagement agreement, leaving the Zhou family without face. Zhou Zhen is probably having a hard time these days!”
