Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1674: Chapter 1658: Backing

The internet is overwhelmingly filled with praise for CCTV’s quick handling of the situation, and with curses directed at Ke Zhenyue. Of course, many people are asking if Huo Sining was scared, along with various reassuring comments.

However, at this moment Huo Sining has no time to care about what those netizens are saying because she has just returned to the studio and is now surrounded by phone calls.

Seeing the situation, Huo Sining knew what these people were calling to ask about, so she quickly initiated a conference call.

”Huo girl, I heard something happened to you in the studio, are you okay?”

”Girl, are you hurt?”

”What’s the situation? Quickly respond, were you frightened?”

One call after another came in, all concerned about her condition. From Zhou Shitao to Qin Lianshan to Master Gu of the Gu Family, these old men were all very worried, afraid that something serious had happened to Huo Sining. Only after hearing Huo Sining speak normally and repeatedly say she wasn’t hurt did they finally relax.

Having expressed their concern for her, the old men then remembered the Longliang Primitive Celadon that had been smashed.

”Was the item really smashed? Was it severely damaged?”

Huo Sining had long anticipated that these old men would ask, and she had already devised a plan in her heart. So when they repeatedly inquired, she quickly explained:

”I’m fine, and the item is fine too. I suspected that the director might try something, so I prepared accordingly. I put away the real Primitive Celadon beforehand and took a replica onto the stage. So the real piece is completely unharmed!”

Huo Sining said this very seriously, and all the old men were convinced by her, except for Huang Zhenlong who was a bit skeptical because he had personally delivered those antiques. He hadn’t seen any replicas in Huo Sining’s hands at the time, and in such a short period, where could she have gotten an identical replica?

But such an important matter—a lie wouldn’t hold up. Even if Huo Sining lied, she wouldn’t be able to cover it up. As soon as Huo Sining returned the item to the Forbidden City’s storage, he would be able to tell whether the Primitive Celadon was there and intact just by looking.

”Are you sure the item is really unharmed?”

Huang Zhenlong asked once more.

Huo Sining earnestly assured, ”It really is fine. Once we finish recording the remaining episodes, I’ll have someone return the item, ensuring there will be no issues. You can all rest assured.”

”However, one thing—I’m keeping this from CCTV. They don’t know I used a replica and are considering criminal charges against Ke Zhenyue. If they find out I brought out a replica, it’s likely that Ke Zhenyue will be released in a few days. So make sure not to let this slip,” Huo Sining reminded them.

The old men weren’t fools, so they understood what Huo Sining meant. If it’s just a replica that’s been shattered, there’s no need to pursue criminal charges, since Huo Sining wasn’t hurt, nor suffered any huge losses.

”You needn’t worry about this, we old men are tight-lipped and won’t let this slip!” Huang Zhenlong chuckled.

Zhou Shitao coldly snorted on his end, disdainfully said, ”Even if it was a replica that broke, he shouldn’t think he can get out so easily. This man’s intentions are vicious, willing to do such a thing, he should be ready to bear the consequences. I’ll inform the Cultural Relics Bureau to ensure this man is punished severely!”

”Exactly, this isn’t just some minor relic damage. This is clearly an attempt on Huo girl’s life. This isn’t deliberate harm; it’s attempted murder!”

Qin Lianshan was indignant because if Huo Sining hadn’t been quick-witted and agile, quickly moving away in the moment of crisis, she might not have been able to speak calmly with these old men right now.

Thinking of the little girl whom everyone treasured almost being killed by that director Ke Zhenyue, Qin Lianshan felt a wave of fear, his entire being was ablaze with anger, wishing he could skin Ke alive!

”Huo girl, rest assured, you don’t need to worry about this matter. With grandpa here, you won’t suffer any grievance. We will definitely help you vent this anger properly!”

Master Gu of the Gu Family was now good-tempered; if it were his earlier fiery days, he might have stormed CCTV and shot Ke dead.

Daring to bully his granddaughter-in-law, wasn’t that a slap in his face? That Ke surely doesn’t want to live!

Huo Sining found it rather amusing, yet somehow felt warm all over.

Having so many people care—it feels truly wonderful, doesn’t it?

After hanging up the phone, Huo Sining couldn’t be bothered with anything else and directly called Qibao:

”Qibao, Qibao, SOS from Jianghu, something big happened here—I smashed a Longliang Celadon from the Warring States period. If it isn’t repaired, I’m done for!”

Qibao was quite relaxed, laying back in the swimming pool of the villa. Hearing Huo Sining’s words, he lazily said, ”Oh, well then, sister, bring back the fragments and I’ll repair it for you.”

Hearing this, Huo Sining excitedly blew a kiss to Qibao through the phone: ”Awesome, Qibao, I’ll love you to bits.”

She instructed her people to send the fragments directly back to the villa, and thus her worries were perfectly addressed. As the shoot hadn’t started yet and she was feeling bored, she took out her phone and started browsing Weibo.

Seeing fans sending her private messages continuously, Huo Sining hesitated for a moment, then decided to post a reassuring update on Weibo.

If you are well, it’s a sunny day.

The Weibo post was accompanied by a selfie of Huo Sining in the studio, showing her bright and cheerful smile to indicate she was alright.

Once the Weibo was posted, fans swarmed in droves.

”Great, as long as you’re okay. You scared us to death.”

”It’s okay, it’s okay, don’t worry, the bad guy has been captured!”

”Were you scared? I can send you calming tea.”

”We must give that Ke a severe punishment. Someone like him is beyond redemption!”

Huo Sining was happily scrolling through Weibo, laughing as she read, but soon she realized something was amiss as Xu Wei opposite her involuntarily stood up from her seat, her expression becoming bizarre.

Curiously, Huo Sining turned around instinctively.

Poor Mr. Gu stood in the shadows, with a forlorn look in his eyes, staring at his carefree wife who was engrossed in fiercely browsing Weibo, his expression full of melancholy.
