Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 375: Chapter 371: A Guest Wants to See You

No matter how Xu Lian and the others tried to explain, the security guard seemed not to hear them at all, insisting on driving these people out of the community.

Why would Xu Lian and her group comply? After a struggle, they were forcibly dragged away, their gazes still turned towards Huo Sining’s house, their eyes flashing with venom and unwillingness.

Yan Feng’s eyes were half-closed, his gaze towards those people revealing a hint of coldness and impatience, yet his face still wore a formulaic smile.

Nobody noticed that, in the midst of the scuffle at the door, taking advantage of the chaos, Yan Feng’s wrist made a motion as if twisting a flower with his hands.

With a flick of his fingers, from underneath Yan Feng’s nails shot a barely noticeable dust, carried perfectly onto the faces of Xu Lian’s group by the gentle breeze of his hand.

During the fray, Liu Meiling seemed to detect an unusual fragrance invading her nostrils; the scent made her heart pause for a moment, puzzled about where the aroma came from.

But the scene was too chaotic, that thought only flashed through her mind and didn’t linger any longer.

Clinging to a dogged mindset, Xu Lian and her group were unaware that by merely causing a scene at Huo Sining’s doorstep, they had provoked a grim reaper.

After hanging up the phone, Huo Sining’s face turned somewhat sour.

She had predicted that Xu Lian and the others would come after her like locusts, craving her blood, but she hadn’t expected them to arrive so quickly.

Had she not spontaneously decided to come to the Imperial Capital yesterday, she would surely have faced those people head-on today, and perhaps she would have even clashed with Xu Lian.

With Huo Sining feeling oppressed, Huang Hanyun and the others naturally noticed that her mood had soured after the phone call and couldn’t help but ask, ”What’s wrong?”

Huo Sining shook her head, took a deep breath to expel the pent-up frustration in her chest, and then smiled saying,

”These are pieces of jewelry made with leftover material from jadeite and Hetian Jade—earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets, I have it all. Yesterday, when I gifted the elders, I didn’t have anything for you guys. It’s not that I wasn’t prepared, I just didn’t know what you would like, so I simply brought a whole box over. Anything you fancy, just pick it out.”

Huo Sining took out a jewelry box and opened it. Indeed, it was filled with all kinds of colorful and stylish jade jewelry. Upon seeing these, not just Huang Hanyun and Huang Ranping, but even Su Qingqing’s eyes widened in awe.

”Oh Ningning, you’re so naughty for keeping these to yourself. I just found out you have such a huge collection of beautiful jewelry!”

Living together day and night, Su Qingqing did not know that Huo Sining had so many private treasures. Compared to these, the pair of bright yellow jade earrings that Huo Sining had given her before paled in comparison.

Huo Sining felt helpless inside. This wasn’t her intentionally hiding them; it was that Yan Feng was too much of a demon. All these trinkets were made from leftover jade scraps he had on hand before leaving.

Unlike Huo Sining, that guy had mastered the Spirit Pearl Heart Method and had no problem controlling the Wind Spirit Pearl.

Furthermore, in terms of gathering Spiritual Energy, Yan Feng had far more abundance than her Azure Pearl, so for him, using Wind Blade to carve and create these pieces of jewelry was an underutilization of his abilities, barely requiring any effort.

”If you like any, just pick one out. These are just for fun and aren’t worth much.”

Huo Sining smiled indifferently and pushed the large box of jewelry out toward them.

Su Qingqing and Huang Ranping’s eyes sparkled with stars, as they pounced without reservation, but Huang Hanyun was a bit hesitant. After all, she was a few years older than Su Qingqing and Huang Ranping, and had a clearer understanding of the value of jewelry.

Even though Huo Sining had claimed that the jewelry was just worthless odds and ends, Huang Hanyun could clearly see that the materials used were of top quality and the designs were exquisite. Such a set of jewelry, if sold on the market, would certainly not go for less than two or three hundred thousand.

Moreover, she understood that the reason Huo Sining didn’t present the jewelry at the formal event yesterday, but chose to offer it in a private setting for the sisters to choose from, was not out of disrespect but rather to save their faces.

It was proper etiquette for Huo Sining to bring gifts for the elders, but it made no sense to give such expensive gifts to her peers.

If Huo Sining had brought out the jewelry yesterday, they certainly would have felt embarrassed to accept it, and the elders would definitely not have agreed to their acceptance.

But the situation was different now. With just a few words from Huo Sining, it was as if she was sharing some inconspicuous small trinkets with her sisters.

This approach, which neither appeared boastful nor perfectly fostered feelings with the sisters, even Huang Hanyun, who usually preferred conspiracy theories in her actions, couldn’t bring herself to dislike, let alone Huang Ranping, the young girl.

”Ah, Hanyun, it’s all right, just pick whatever you like without any reservation. Ningning isn’t one for beating around the bush—if she says it’s not valuable, it must mean she didn’t spend much on it. Don’t overthink it, just choose whatever you like, she won’t mind!”

Seeing Huang Hanyun still hesitating, Su Qingqing grew impatient and couldn’t help but pull Huang Hanyun along.

This cousin of hers was good in many ways, but she always liked to overthink everything, which was exactly what Su Qingqing, with her straightforward nature, found most tiresome.

Eventually, even Huang Hanyun couldn’t resist the allure of the exquisite jewelry and with a wry smile, she bent down her head and began to choose as well.

While choosing, halfway through, Huang Ranping suddenly exclaimed ”Oh!” and lifting her head, she said to Huo Sining, ”Yunmiao also likes jewelry; if she knew we all got some and she didn’t, she would definitely be upset!”

The ”Yunmiao” that Huang Ranping referred to was the daughter of the second uncle from the Huang Family, whom Huo Sining had yet to meet in person but had already learned about from the Huang Family—Huang Yunmiao was a student of biological engineering studying in Hawaii.

Huo Sining was also studying biological engineering. Although she was not as accomplished as Huang Yunmiao, she felt that she would have common ground with this cousin whom she had not yet met.

”Do you know what kind of jewelry Yunmiao likes, or maybe you could take some photos and send them to her, let her pick for herself.”

Huo Sining was not stingy. She never had many friends and even in university, she mostly kept to herself, with only the occasional encounter with Luo Jinzhi. Now that she suddenly had several cousins, she naturally hoped to build good relationships with these relatives.

Huang Ranping’s eyes lit up at this suggestion, thinking it was an excellent idea, and she quickly stood up straight and said, ”I have a camera with me! I’ll go get it!”

With that, she turned to walk toward the door but had barely taken a few steps when she bumped full into someone entering from outside.

”Ningning, there are some guests at home who would like to meet you!”
