Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1461: Chapter 1445: Another Encounter with Song Family Members

Upon hearing Huo Sining’s words, Song Xiaochen’s radiant smile suddenly froze, and the faces of the Song Family members behind him looked displeased, especially Song Chaojing, who seemed rather resentful.

”Miss Huo, can’t you really change your mind? I believe with your skills, securing a spot among the elites in Las Vegas wouldn’t be difficult. I’ve considered you a friend, couldn’t you even do me this favor?”

Huo Sining hesitated for a moment; she had already clarified to the Song Sisters a month ago and had refused Song Chaoying’s invitation, not planning to partake in the international gambling competition this time.

”Mr. Song, I believe Miss Song Six has already made it clear to you. I really lack experience and skills in gambling competitions, and I genuinely don’t dare to accept your invitation as I know my capabilities fall short.”

Huo Sining forced a bitter smile, feeling a bit soft-hearted yet ultimately resolute in rejecting Song Xiaochen’s final plea.

Las Vegas is a place full of talent, and for someone like her who relies on cheats to compete, previously winning narrowly for the Song Family on the high seas was already a stroke of luck. Asking her to gamble in Las Vegas again is beyond her means.

Without the diamond drill, one can’t manage the porcelain work. Huo Sining is decisive; her capabilities determine her actions. She’s not interested in this matter and has no confidence in standing out in Las Vegas. Hence, rather than giving the Song Family hope, it’s better to refuse directly.

Song Xiaochen probably didn’t expect that even after saying so much, Huo Sining would still refuse him. His face changed slightly as he tried to say something more to persuade her, but the Fourth Aunt quickly pulled him aside and greeted Huo Sining with a smile, saying, ”Miss Huo, long time no see.”

The Fourth Aunt of the Song Family, who managed to win over the Gambling King Song Lifeng, surely is remarkable. Yet this Fourth Aunt is not pretentious or arrogant; Huo Sining had interacted with her before in Ao City and had developed a liking for her. Thus, when greeted by the Fourth Aunt, Huo Sining didn’t ignore her gesture.

”Fourth Aunt, you’re too kind. I’m here purely for vacation, as you can see. I have several young friends with me, just taking advantage of the winter break to relax. Of course, if Fourth Aunt doesn’t mind, I might take my friends to watch the competition in Las Vegas when it starts.”

Although Huo Sining’s words were casual, the Fourth Aunt of the Song Family could see that her attitude was firm, indicating she had already made up her mind and wouldn’t easily change.

The Fourth Aunt sighed internally and, unable to persuade further, nodded reluctantly, saying, ”Miss Huo, what are you saying? The competition starts in half a month; feel free to bring your friends, and the Song Group will be there to host you. You may rest assured.”

Just as they spoke, Li Jun rushed over in a hurry; upon seeing Huo Sining, Li Jun waved at her joyfully.

The Song Family members finally saw the friends Huo Sining mentioned, realizing she wasn’t making excuses, and their expressions improved somewhat. Without further pleasantries, they parted ways.

There are no direct flights from Huaxia Country to Las Vegas domestically, so the Song Family had to transit via Los Angeles to reach Las Vegas. As Huo Sining brushed past them, she looked back after walking away and sighed inwardly.

Besides Li Jun, those who came to pick her up included Mr. Huang and Miss Yue, whom she last saw at the ancient tomb in the Magic Capital. These two reverted to their indifferent expressions, looking at Huo Sining as if she were a stranger unrelated to them.

Huo Sining secretly mocked their acting skills, thinking they deserved an Oscar, but outwardly, she couldn’t show her thoughts.

Arriving at the hotel, everyone ate and busied themselves adjusting to the time difference. Li Jun’s collection of raw materials wouldn’t open until the day after tomorrow, so Huo Sining wasn’t in a rush. After resting at the hotel for a night, the next day she took Wu Ya and Qibao to various tourist attractions around Los Angeles.

Su Qingqing and Bai Yishan were visiting Los Angeles for the first time, and they were a bit excited. From Hollywood to Universal Studios and then the Walk of Fame, they toured all the way, feeling increasingly amazed.

Compared to Hollywood stars, those so-called first-tier celebrities domestically were indeed negligible.

Unexpectedly, while accompanying Su Qingqing and Bai Yishan on the red carpet of the Walk of Fame, a handsome white guy stopped her, handing her a business card, claiming he was a film direction graduate and currently preparing a graduation project. He thought Huo Sining was perfect for the lead role and asked if she was willing.

Huo Sining was shocked and didn’t know how to respond when Li Jun came over. Hearing what the white guy said, he directly chased him away, laughing sarcastically:

”What talent scout, what director, all scammers. If getting into Hollywood was that easy, Bingbing would still only manage extras there. Nowadays, many young women come to Hollywood dreaming of overnight fame—where would you find such good fortune in this world?”

”I’m telling you, these are all scams. They talk about filming but end up tricking you into signing enslaving contracts, shooting those adult films. Getting swindled for money is not the worst, some get controlled into drug use and prostitution. The entertainment industry is not as simple as they think; dirty transactions underlie it, but they just don’t see it.”

Huo Sining laughed, ”It seems this mysterious and tempting Hollywood isn’t as glamorous as it appears.”

”What country’s entertainment industry is clean? It’s a big dye vat. Even the most innocent person would find themselves powerless after entering it, not to mention those obscure circles. To advance further, to become famous, many resort to any means—selling their body and soul, so what?”

Li Jun looked at Huo Sining, full of concern: ”I’ve heard you’re quite famous domestically, with offers for acting and advertising. Let me tell you, you certainly shouldn’t wade into this muddy water since you aren’t short of money and your treasure appraisal and gambling stone skills are so brilliant. This place is filthy; don’t ruin your good life by being impulsive.”

Seeing Li Jun’s anxiety, Su Qingqing couldn’t help but laugh, ”You really overthink this. If Ningning wanted to act in movies, she would’ve accepted several projects last year. She’s the least patient for these things, preferring to pick a few raw stones rather than act.”
