Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 657: Chapter 654: One Billion Secured

”Miss Wu, by saying this, are you implying that apart from yourself, all the other major jewelry bosses sitting here are blind?”

Huo Sining watched Wu Linger with a smile on her face.

In her mind, she darkly thought, even if I did cheat, I cheated using the Heavenly Eye Skill, so what? If you can’t provide any evidence, then this is nothing but slander!

Wu Linger just wanted to see Huo Sining, this woman, make a fool of herself. Seeing that Huo Sining had actually caused the Liujia people such a big fall, she naturally had to step out. This would not only annoy Huo Sining, that vile woman but also ingratiate herself with the Liujia people.

”You’re the one distorting truth and fiction, deliberately twisting the meaning of my words.”

Wu Linger retorted angrily; she didn’t believe Huo Sining had any real talent. How could a country woman beat Liu Chongren?

So, in Wu Linger’s eyes, Huo Sining must have cheated.

Her family owned a jewelry store, and even she didn’t understand gambling on stones. By logical reasoning, how could Huo Sining, a country bumpkin who came from a rural area, understand such a profound matter as gambling on stones?

”Miss Wu, is it me who is distorting the truth, or are you willfully slandering me? Even if we have had our differences before, you don’t need to frame me to this extent,” Huo Sining said coldly while looking at Wu Linger, chuckling with anger, ”You want to step on me to please the Liujia, but whether they appreciate it is another matter!”

”You scoundrel, what nonsense are you spouting?”

Wu Linger’s father had gone to great lengths to obtain an invite to the Liu Family’s banquet, just so she could make an appearance at the dinner and, ideally, get in good with the Liu Family, allowing the Wu Family’s jewelry company to take a step further.

However, throughout the banquet, Huo Sining was the center of attention from beginning to end, which made Wu Linger both angry and frustrated, and left her full of hatred toward Huo Sining.

Now that Huo Sining had exposed her intentions, Wu Linger instantly felt both ashamed and annoyed, wishing she could rush up and tear Huo Sining’s mouth apart.

”Miss Wu, whether I’m spouting nonsense, you know very well in your heart. I don’t wish to argue over these meaningless things with you.”

”Even the immortals cannot easily predict jade quality. I didn’t even know there would be stone cutting at Master Liu’s birthday banquet prior to the event, nor did I expect to gamble on stones with Miss Liu Yuxuan. It was all decided spontaneously, so the idea of cheating is even more unlikely.”

”If you’re so convinced I cheated, then you should at least produce some evidence! Baseless accusations amount to slander, and I will take legal action through a lawyer!”

Huo Sining didn’t want to get entangled with Wu Linger any longer. It’s better to quickly resolve this kind of situation, especially since she is a guest at the Liu Family, and arguing with Wu Linger at this time would be quite impolite.

”How can you say I have no evidence?”

Wu Linger lifted her head to look at Huo Sining, thinking she had caught Huo Sining’s weak point, and proudly said:

”How could a country bumpkin like you understand gambling on stones? I was there too last year at the Pingzhou Public Plate with Su Qingqing and the others, and at that time you didn’t understand anything. Do we even need to discuss this? You must have cheated; otherwise, how could someone who knows nothing gamble and win jadeite?”

Huo Sining looked at Wu Linger as if she were an idiot, unwilling to waste another word in explanation. She finally understood that stupidity is a disease that needs to be cured, but in the case of Wu Linger, it appeared to be a congenital condition beyond help.

All the people present remained silent, but inwardly they were cursing endlessly.

What kind of person is this Wu woman? How can she be so foolish? The Liu Family is already at a disadvantage, and here she comes to stir into the mix. Isn’t she here just to smear the Liu Family deliberately?

If the planner of this gamble on stones were Huo Sining, then accusing her of cheating might be possible.

But the fact is, the Liu Family was the real initiator of this gambling game.

With the Liu Family acting as the house, even if Huo Sining were very skillful, she would have no way to cheat, could this woman surnamed Wu have water in her brain?

Over there, having heard Wu Linger’s idiotic remarks, the expressions of the Liu Family had turned completely sour, especially Liu Chongren, whose face was a shade of iron blue, his gaze toward Wu Linger full of malice.

It was only then that Wu Linger noticed that everyone present seemed to be showing looks of disdain and mockery. She couldn’t understand why, given that she was telling the truth, why weren’t these people supporting her in her accusation against Huo Sining, but instead looking at her with such eyes?

Huo Sining no longer paid attention to Wu Linger but turned to look at Liu Chongren:

”Mr. Liu, could you please settle our business as soon as possible, I think the banquet should be nearing its end, right?”

Impatience was beginning to show on Huo Sining’s face. She didn’t want to waste time with these people. It was already half-past ten at night, and if Liu Chongren didn’t get her money ready soon, she might just have second thoughts.

Liu Chongren was indeed worried that Huo Sining would have regrets, and he quickly urged Liu Yunhui to get things organized. The banquet also drew to a close amid the idle chatter and drinking of the crowd, naturally the one who was talked about the most over drinks was tonight’s biggest winner, Huo Sining.

Just a bet, and such a huge incident occurred, ten billion in liquid assets, the Liu Family really spent big.

This outcome also made the many jewelers have to reassess the Liu Family’s assets. To them, the Liu Family was now seen as an even bigger mountain.

Ten billion gathered just like that, what is called ’wealth speaks louder than words’, this is called ’wealth speaks louder than words’!

Only Liu Chongren and Liu Yunhui knew how many new projects would be lost because of these ten billion, how many new companies would be aborted. But this dumb loss, they could only swallow silently, the taste known only to themselves and not to be spoken of to outsiders.

In the last few minutes of the banquet, Liu Yunhui returned with a grim expression and, after asking for Huo Sining’s bank account details, transferred the ten billion in funds into her bank card.

Only after Huo Sining confirmed the amount in her account did she nod in satisfaction, ”Master Liu truly is a man of his word. It is indeed my honor to have been able to attend Master Liu’s dinner tonight.”

After gaining an advantage, it’s wise to show some gratitude, first to set an example by sacrificing a king among chickens to warn the monkeys and their offspring, also to make them wary, otherwise, everyone thinks they can easily deal with Huo Sining!

A cold light flickered in Huo Sining’s eyes, her lips curving into a slight arc.

By attending a dinner, she had gained ten billion. This trip to Guangcheng had been very satisfying for Huo Sining.

As soon as the banquet ended, she, Gu Xu, Su Jinyuan, and a few others were ready to leave.

The other guests naturally didn’t want to stay and be disgraced either, so they said their goodbyes one after another.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Liu Chongren, Ouyang Jun also hastily took his leave, hurrying to catch up with Huo Sining and the others as they left the hotel.

”I think it’s best we head back to S City overnight.” Stepping out of the hotel, Bai Yishan spoke up.

Bai Yishan had been somewhat worried during the banquet, and now that they were outside, she was even more on edge.
