Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 371: Chapter 367 Relatives Attack

”Come on, don’t leave me hanging like that. Not cool. How about I order a couple more bottles of good wine, and we can drink and talk?” he suggested.

The man seemed to know the rules of the bar, that by ordering more expensive drinks, the hostesses could earn a commission. Seeing that the woman wasn’t willing to continue, he caught the hint and quickly ordered two more bottles.

With a flirtatious lift of her eyes and a satisfied smile, the woman continued,

”When we freshmen first arrived at the university, Huo Sining showed up in the dorm dressed in clothes that screamed ’fresh-off-the-farm,’ and she used the oldest model Nokia with a blue screen. She bought imitation cosmetics at the farmers market to pretend to be rich, but it was clear as day she was a penniless country bumpkin.”

”Then we had our military training, and you know, country girls are, of course, tougher than us at that stuff. She stood out with her performance, and somehow she caught the eye of our chief instructor. Several times she was called out late at night, supposedly for extra lessons. But what kind of ’extra lessons’ can you have late at night all alone? It’s obviously...”

She left her sentence hanging, her expression a mix of disgust and sleaze, implying more than enough. The men, having listened to her story, let their imaginations run wild—no further explanation was needed, and their faces showed they understood.

”We didn’t think too much of it at first, but after the military training ended, Huo Sining suddenly transformed into a rich person. She started using high-end cosmetics, wearing luxury clothes, driving a BMW... Everyone began to smell a rat, talking and speculating. She must have realized that she had a bad reputation in our department because she transferred to the College of Biology not long after.”

”That’s not all. I heard she opened a shop in Chenghuang Temple and got herself a villa right opposite our S University. Everyone in this university town knows that even if you have the money, you can’t just buy a villa in that district. How could a student without any power or influence afford it, even if she had the money?”

”...”

Liu Meiling couldn’t hear what those men and women were saying anymore, her mind was fixated on a few key pieces of information: Huo Sining opened a shop in Chenghuang Temple and lived in a villa opposite S University.

These significant details filled Liu Meiling with excitement. She mused to herself, ’What’s the saying? You search far and wide for something, only to find it without effort? This is it!’

Contentedly returning to her hotel for the night, she rose early to head to the train station to wait for someone. By nine in the morning, Xu Lian and her group finally arrived, fashionably late.

Liu Meiling normally didn’t have this much patience, but today she was meeting her aunt’s niece, and her future as a white-collar office lady and marrying into wealth depended on her aunt and uncle’s help.

So this time, she didn’t show any impatience. Upon seeing her aunt disembark from the train, she hurried to greet her and even volunteered to help with the luggage.

Xu Lian was well aware of Liu Meiling’s ulterior motives, but she did not refuse, instead taking it for granted and enjoying the service Liu Meiling provided her.

Due to Liu Meiling’s well-earned money in Guangcheng, Xu Xia had no shortage of opportunities to show off in front of Xu Lian, and Liu Meiling talked down to her extremely condescendingly, even ordering her around.

But as fortunes change, Xu Lian was soon to own assets worth tens of millions, and overnight, she became the one at the top of the food chain. Xu Xia and Liu Meiling, seeing Xu Lian, were like seeing the Bodhisattva of wealth; unconsciously, they would reveal sycophantic smiles and adopt a subservient attitude.

Filled with a sense of superiority, feeling that Huo Sining’s money was as good as hers, Xu Lian relished the feeling of being sought after and fawned over, soaking in the delightful sensation of utmost satisfaction!

However, she soon fell from the clouds to mid-air when a few of them took a taxi to the villa area opposite S University and were stopped by several uniformed security guards.

”Big brother, my aunt’s niece lives in this community. Could you please let us through?”

Liu Meiling was worldly wise and knew that some communities housed rich and influential people, with tight security where entry was prohibited without verified identity, so she batted her eyelashes, pretending to be coquettish.

This was one of Liu Meiling’s specialties, and there were hardly any men who could resist her temptress charade. However, this time she miscalculated; the security guards were unmoved and didn’t even spare her an extra glance.

”Sorry, please swipe your access card or call your family to come to the gate to pick you up. We can’t let non-residents in and out freely!”

Liu Meiling’s face stiffened, and she looked at the speaking guard with irritation, stomping her foot in anger.

”My niece really lives here, we’re here to celebrate the New Year with her! Who do you think you are, just some gatekeepers, to stop me?”

Xu Lian was inexplicably blocked by the gatekeepers, her face filled with displeasure.

Xu Lian considered Huo Sining’s villa as her property, naturally thinking that these security guards worked for her. The audacity of them showing disrespect to her, the homeowner, was intolerable, and she couldn’t help but start cursing.

The security guards weren’t pushovers, and upon hearing Xu Lian’s abusive words, their expressions darkened. One of them, with a sharp gaze, glanced at Liu Meiling and the others and said coldly:

”We’re trying to save you some dignity, so don’t be shameless. If you make any more trouble, we’ll call the police! Please leave promptly and stop making a scene here!”

Xu Lian was so furious that she rushed forward as if to fight, but she was intercepted by Liu Meiling and Xu Xia halfway.

What a joke, this wasn’t Baiyun Village. These were legitimate workers. If you clashed head-on with them, could you win? It probably wouldn’t take ten minutes for the police to come and arrest people.

”Auntie, let’s wait a bit longer. Let’s not confront these people directly. We’ll find another chance to enter with someone else later.”

Liu Meiling calmed down the hot-tempered Xu Lian, who was fuming inside but seeing the tall and burly security guards, she knew she was no match for them and consequently stopped.

”Damn it, that wretched girl Huo Sining lives in such a nice house and didn’t even leave us her phone number. We could have called her to come open the door for us. This is infuriating!”

Liu Meiling remembered there seemed to be a shop in Chenghuang Temple owned by Huo Sining, and thought about whether to head there, but seeing Xu Lian’s enraged face, she swallowed her words.

At this moment, Huo Longjiang suddenly spoke up: ”Mom, are we going to live here in the future? Did Huo Sining really buy a big house here?”
