Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1394: Chapter 1379: Song Chaoying’s Request

”Miss He, I wonder what brings you to me?”

No one visits the Three Treasures Palace without a reason. Although Huo Sining and He Chaoying hadn’t interacted much, since the gambling trip on the high seas last time, Huo Sining had gained some understanding of He Chaoying.

For the daughter of a Gambling King who seemed to have no earthly desires to personally call her, it was definitely not a simple matter.

”I just felt we’ve been out of touch for too long, so I wanted to invite Miss Huo for a meal, that’s all.”

He Chaoying was surprised by Huo Sining’s sensitivity and vigilance, but she didn’t reveal her true intentions on the phone.

This kind of explanation was naturally not believable to Huo Sining. She thought to herself that the excuse He Xiaochen used to ask for her help last time was just like this. These two indeed were siblings, sharing the same blood, even their excuses were the same.

”Miss He, you’re joking. Ideally, I should be the one inviting you. However, I’m not in Ao City right now, and I probably won’t have time to go there in the next half month. Are you in Ao City or on the Mainland?” Huo Sining asked with a smile.

He Chaoying heard the excuse in Huo Sining’s words, and a hint of amusement flickered in her calculative eyes. She directly intercepted Huo Sining’s conversation: ”Miss Huo, I’m in the Magic Capital.”

The words choked Huo Sining into silence.

He Chaoying spoke with such certainty, indicating she had done her homework, and even arrived in the Magic Capital unannounced to avoid being refused.

With such seriousness, Huo Sining became more certain that He Chaoying’s visit was not simply for a meal.

However, because it was He Chaoying, and with Ouyang Jun in the picture, they were bound to meet sooner or later. Although Huo Sining was not keen on such roundabout dealings, she had no choice but to play along.

”What a coincidence? I’m also in the Magic Capital. It seems even heaven is helping us. In that case, instead of a formal invitation, let’s meet by chance for dinner tonight. I’ll decide on the place.”

Huo Sining was not a pretentious person and knew how to give people a way out, so she didn’t expose He Chaoying’s coincidental act and said with a smile.

With the time set, Huo Sining continued to assist Xie Daoyuan at the underwater ancient tomb site. Despite her many doubts about He Chaoying’s sudden call, she didn’t dwell too much on it.

While the He Clan’s background in Ao City was strong, their influence on the Mainland was not particularly solid. In the Magic Capital, if compared directly, the Gambling King’s daughter, He Chaoying, couldn’t match Huo Sining’s worth.

As someone who had interacted with He Chaoying before, Huo Sining knew she wasn’t the type to force others, even if she had requests. She might use some minor tactics, but for Huo Sining, these were not major issues.

Having arranged to dine with He Chaoying in the evening, by four in the afternoon, Huo Sining took leave from Xie Daoyuan and drove back to the city.

That night, at Guose Tianxiang, Huo Sining met He Chaoying, who was accompanied by the He Clan’s Ninth Miss, He Chaojing.

Upon seeing Huo Sining, a complex expression flickered in He Chaoying’s eyes. Sensing this peculiarity, Huo Sining felt curious but did not inquire swiftly.

It was only after dinner that He Chaoying disclosed the purpose of her visit.

It turned out that not long ago, the He Clan received an invitation from Las Vegas, inviting Mr. He to lead outstanding gamblers from Huaxia Country to participate in a world-class gambling competition in the city of perpetual nightlife.

According to the tradition of past world gambling competitions, Mr. He was required to attend. However, due to health issues this year, the matter was handed over to He Chaoying and He Xiaochen.

The Gambling King He, having witnessed Huo Sining’s gambling skills, couldn’t attend himself but was concerned that the He siblings might not be up to the task. Hence, he instructed them that no matter what conditions Huo Sining put forth, they must invite her to participate.

”Miss Huo, both my sister and I have witnessed your gambling skills and hold genuine admiration for you, whether it’s luck or real skill. We truly respect you. I’ve always thought you’re undoubtedly a big shot. Therefore, I sincerely ask you to help the He Clan once more!”

Upon hearing He Chaoying’s remarks, Huo Sining’s expression didn’t change, but inwardly she smiled bitterly.

Back in the Imperial Capital, Ouyang Jun had mentioned that He Chaoying was busy organizing the Las Vegas competition. At that time, Huo Sining thought of it as mere gossip and never linked it to herself, not feeling any relation to the matter.

Unexpectedly, half a month later, the He sisters found her, inviting her to compete in Las Vegas.

Internally, Huo Sining sighed. She wasn’t truly knowledgeable about gambling skills. It was just exploiting the Heavenly Eye skill, an advantage. Without the Heavenly Eye’s vision, unable to see her opponents’ cards, she would be a novice. Even with good luck, she would be helpless.

Her skills might pass domestically, but now the He Clan wanted to invite her to Las Vegas. Wasn’t that a joke? Las Vegas was a place where a novice like her, if not careful, could mess things up, could ruin everything?

”This time, it’s representing Huaxia Country. If the Chinese side loses this competition, then in the coming years, the world gambling market will be dominated by Westerners. Not only for our He Clan, but also for other casinos in Ao City, it would be a disaster.”

Seeing Huo Sining unmoved, anxiety flickered in He Chaoying’s eyes. She made no effort to hide it, laying out the severity of the situation in an attempt to persuade Huo Sining further.

Her expression was very earnest, ”Miss Huo, I know asking this of you may be difficult, but...”

”Miss He.”

Huo Sining sighed, interrupting He Chaoying’s rational and emotional appeal:

”Let’s not talk about whether I have such strong patriotic feelings. Just saying you have so many casinos in Ao City, selecting a few skilled gamblers to compete shouldn’t be a difficult task, right?”

”Miss He, I truly think you’ve overestimated me and underestimated the strength of your four major casinos in Ao City. Huo Sining is just an ordinary person without such great abilities, so I’m sorry, but I really can’t agree to this matter.”

He Chaoying, upon hearing this, had her expression of expectation and anxiety instantly dim down, replaced by an endless disappointment.

She pulled a bitter smile: ”Even if it’s from the people of the four major casinos, they might not compare to you, Miss Huo. Why be too modest? Not only have my sister and I seen your skills, but even my father and the Fourth Lady highly commend them...”
