Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 298: Chapter 295 The So-Called Besties

”I... I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Su Qingqing stammered with a flushed face.

Huo Sining shrugged, ”If you don’t know, you don’t know. Although Wu Jun works for me, I treat him like my own family. He’s honest and also has to take care of his sister. If you really like him, I could help you out, but your uncle and aunt might not agree.”

Lately, Su Qingqing had been frequenting Xianyu Shop, sometimes even driving to school to pick up and drop off Yaya. Although she called Wu Jun ”the big silly guy,” Huo Sining could tell there was something off about the way Su Qingqing looked at Wu Jun. If she couldn’t discern Su Qingqing’s feelings, she would truly be a fool.

The onlooker sees most of the game, Huo Sining felt helpless about her own feelings for Gu Xu, but she could clearly see Su Qingqing’s feelings for Wu Jun.

The dissolution of Su Qingqing’s engagement to Zhou Zhen was because the Zhou Family had first called it off. The Su Family, in order to protect their daughter’s happiness and save face, had fought with the Zhou Family.

But that didn’t mean Su Qingqing could end up with Wu Jun. Both the Su Family and the Huang Family were prominent clans, and no matter how progressive, they could never completely discard the concept of social status. It wouldn’t be easy for Wu Jun to gain acceptance from both families.

Su Qingqing naturally understood the implication in Huo Sining’s words and sighed, ”Let’s not talk about that for now. The ’big silly guy’ is currently devoted to your Xianyu Shop; he probably doesn’t even have these thoughts.”

Huo Sining laughed upon hearing this, ”How come you can speak so clearly about others’ affairs, but when it comes to yourself, you become timid? If you really like him, if the mountain won’t come to you, you should go to the mountain. With your qualifications, do you think Wu Jun would feel you’re not good enough for him?”

Su Qingqing felt a bit sulky, ”That’s the pot calling the kettle black. Aren’t I articulate too? We are both the same, neither in a position to comment on the other!”

Huo Sining couldn’t help but touch her nose, awkwardly tugging at the corner of her mouth.

The two emotional fools bantered for a few sentences, then suddenly looked at each other and burst out laughing.

After leaving the Luwan District Police Station, Huo Biao and the others walked out of Huo Sining and the others’ line of sight. Not far from the corner, Huo Biao was the first to change his expression.

”Zhu Jianliang, you’re quite something, aren’t you? Even daring to trick me; do you not want to hang around S University anymore?!”

Huo Biao had kowtowed and acted subservient in front of those officials, but now he adopted an aggressive stance with Zhu Jianliang, glaring at him ferociously.

Zhu Jianliang was also filled with regret and fear now. Du Yanlin was a woman who knew how to play her cards right and had significantly boosted his ego, so recently he was quite pleased, thinking having such a girlfriend was not bad and even considering a long-term relationship with Du Yanlin.

But who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, Du Yanlin would dig such a big hole for him? Zhu Jianliang was scared out of his wits, and in his heart, he had cursed Du Yanlin’s ancestors countless times.

”Brother Biao, this really isn’t my fault. Although it was me who invited you out for dinner today, I didn’t meddle in Huo Sining’s business, not a word. It wasn’t my idea, it was all that woman’s doing, and it has nothing to do with me!”

Zhu Jianliang was spineless, one to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Indeed, he had not anticipated today’s events. Although he knew about the petty grievances between Du Yanlin and Huo Sining, he never imagined Du Yanlin would use Huo Biao to cause trouble for Huo Sining.

”You say it’s none of your business, and it’s just so?” Huo Biao sneered. ”To blunder into a mess and then expect not to take responsibility, now you and your girlfriend have got me into trouble with others, I’ll give you two choices.”

Du Yanlin shuddered subconsciously when she heard Huo Biao’s words. She lifted her head and glanced at Huo Biao, revealing a look of horror in her eyes.

However, Xue Jingjing’s face lit up with joy, knowing that Huo Biao didn’t lump her together with Du Yanlin.

Even though she had known Huo Biao for less than a day, Xue Jingjing had already started to engage in flirty phone conversations, suggesting suggestive topics. Huo Biao even had a liking for Xue Jingjing, so naturally, he wouldn’t blame her.

But for Xue Jingjing’s ”bestie,” the instigator of this incident, Du Yanlin, he couldn’t let her get away with it.

”The bar I own will be open for business soon, and I’ve been worrying about not having high-quality servers. You’ve got plenty of resources, don’t you? I don’t care how you do it, but you’ve got half a month; find a way to bring me a group of students to work at the bar.”

After saying this, Huo Biao’s gaze fell on Du Yanlin, and he sneered, ”I hear Miss Du can handle her drink. The treatment at my bar is not bad either, so come and join us then.”

Everything went dark before Du Yanlin’s eyes, and she nearly passed out.

Huo Biao was a hoodlum, and there was no way he would operate a bar legitimately. The so-called bar servers were probably hostesses, and he was forcing her to become a drink companion!

At this thought, Du Yanlin instinctively looked toward Zhu Jianliang. No matter what, she was Zhu Jianliang’s girlfriend. Could he really tolerate such humiliation from Huo Biao?

Du Yanlin hoped Zhu Jianliang would say a few good words for her, but she obviously overestimated him. Zhu Jianliang was dumbfounded when he heard Huo Biao wanted him to introduce people to work at the bar.

The university was nearing the end of the term, and he had no idea where to find people in half a month. Zhu Jianliang was a ”Clay Bodhisattva crossing the river”—barely able to save himself, let alone care about the life and death of others.

Moreover, after this incident, Zhu Jianliang felt he was completely dragged into the mess by Du Yanlin. At this moment, he resented her so deeply that he wished he had nothing to do with her. Why would he speak up for her?

Boyfriend and girlfriend? Please. Even married couples would abandon each other when calamity struck, let alone them merely being in a relationship.

Seeing Zhu Jianliang turn his head away and ignore her completely, Du Yanlin felt angry and resentful. She hurriedly turned her head to look at Xue Jingjing.

Xue Jingjing, having narrowly escaped, was now affectionately clinging to Huo Biao’s arm and flaunting their love.

Huo Biao had already talked about the bar with Xue Jingjing on the phone that night, even mentioning that once it was open, he would make Xue Jingjing the manager.

So now that Xue Jingjing heard the bar was about to open, she was immediately thrilled, as if she could see her own bar waving at her.

When she saw Du Yanlin look over, she didn’t help her. Instead, she advised, ”Yan Lin, hasn’t your family been tight on funds lately? You were even saying you wanted to find a part-time job. Brother Biao is offering you a job at the bar. It would solve your financial difficulty; it’s like he’s doing you a huge favor!”

Hearing this, Du Yanlin felt so angry that her face turned white. She had never expected that Xue Jingjing, who had always been close to her and considered her a sister, would say such a thing.
