Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1937: Chapter 1840: The Two Manager Lus

Su Qingqing nodded absentmindedly, thought for a moment, and still decided to call Yin Zeyan.

After a few rings, someone picked up the phone. It was past nine in the evening in Huaxia, almost ten. Yin Zeyan’s voice was still quite alert, and hearing it was Su Qingqing calling, there was a hint of cheerfulness in his voice:

”Junior Sister, how come you have time to call me? I saw your brother two days ago and asked what you have been up to lately. He said you went abroad on holiday with Miss Huo. So, how’s it going, is it fun abroad?”

Su Qingqing originally wanted to directly ask Yin Zeyan how Lu Huairu went abroad, but remembering what her master just said, for some reason, she swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

”It’s been quite fun. A couple of days ago, we went to a Volcano Park and dug in the dirt for several days, found quite a few diamonds.” Su Qingqing chuckled, replying to Yin Zeyan.

Upon hearing there were diamonds to be found abroad, Yin Zeyan was immediately intrigued: ”Where did you go that there were diamonds to dig up? How could you not invite me, your senior brother, along? I want to dig too!”

Su Qingqing couldn’t help but laugh: ”I was just following Ningning’s lead; she gave the orders, and I just swung the pickaxe. You know she has quite the expertise in stone and mine gambling. If I came alone, I would probably be clueless.”

As she spoke, Su Qingqing couldn’t resist adding: ”We’re probably returning soon. I’ll bring you back a diamond as a gift, Senior Brother. By the way, it’s nighttime there, right? Why aren’t you asleep?”

Yin Zeyan laughed: ”Ordinarily, I’d be asleep by now, but not today. The shop’s been running New Year’s promotions, and we’ve had several deals. Manager Lu and I are busy clearing inventory and organizing accounts. There’s still quite a bit left to do, so I’ll probably have to work another two hours to finish.”

Yin Zeyan spoke casually, but to Su Qingqing, his words were like a thunderbolt, her mind went blank, and she instinctively looked up at Huo Sining and Xie Daoyuan, opening her mouth as if to say something.

Huo Sining found Su Qingqing’s expression a bit strange and immediately looked at her with a questioning gaze. Xie Daoyuan, however, was busy with some materials with a few elderlies and didn’t notice Su Qingqing’s abnormality.

”Junior Sister, Junior Sister, are you still listening? Can you hear me, is the signal bad?”

Yin Zeyan asked several questions but didn’t hear Su Qingqing’s response, so he got anxious, thinking the international call’s signal might be unstable.

Su Qingqing finally snapped back from her daze at Yin Zeyan’s string of ”Junior Sister” calls. She subconsciously swallowed, asking with a mix of shock and disbelief: ”Senior Brother, is Grandfather Lu also working overtime at the shop now?”

Yin Zeyan replied naturally: ”Yes, you know how dedicated Elder Lu is. If something’s not finished, he definitely wouldn’t leave first.”

The little bit of wishful thinking Su Qingqing had was instantly shattered. Her gaze turned to the auction hall, where right below her sat the old man chatting with Zhou Zhen. She was sure she hadn’t mistaken him; he was definitely Lu Huairu.

But now Yin Zeyan was telling her that Lu Huairu was working overtime at the shop with him. Su Qingqing was stunned—what on earth was going on? Could it be that there really were two people in the world who looked exactly alike, or were there actually two Managers Lu?

Seeing Su Qingqing silent again, Yin Zeyan thought she was blaming him for making the elderly Lu Huairu work overtime. He quickly explained a bit more and laughed:

”Junior Sister, are you missing Elder Lu? How about I let him say a few words to you?”

Saying that, Yin Zeyan handed the phone over to the old man sitting at the counter organizing accounts:

”Here you go, it’s Su Girl’s phone call. She wants to talk to you but is too shy to say so. Have a chat.”

Su Qingqing’s heart jumped into her throat, and then a hoarse yet familiar voice echoed in her ear, coming from the distant phone: ”Hello.”

Su Qingqing initially thought Yin Zeyan might be lying to her, but hearing Lu Huairu’s voice, she was completely dumbfounded.

This voice was unmistakable; she’d listened to it for over twenty years. There’s no way she couldn’t recognize Lu Huairu’s tone.

Looking at the familiar figure below her, a chill arose from her feet, and she felt her entire body turn ice-cold. Her face turned ashen, and even her breath seemed to catch, making it impossible to hear what the person on the other end of the phone was saying.

Mumbling a few perfunctory words, Su Qingqing hastily hung up the phone. Her eyes flashed with shock and panic, and the fear on her face was beyond hiding. Her hand, holding the phone, trembled and then dropped it to the ground with a crisp snap.

Seeing this, Huo Sining hurriedly moved in, separating Su Qingqing from the elderlies, and cautiously asked in a soft voice: ”Qingqing, what’s wrong?”

Su Qingqing glanced at Huo Sining, then at Lu Huairu sitting below in the auction hall. She opened her mouth, hesitated for a long moment, then asked:

”Ningning, is it possible for two people to look exactly the same, to the point that even their closest and most familiar ones can’t tell them apart?”

Huo Sining froze, suddenly recalling her grandmother Huang Chengxiang. Huo Sining had seen Huang Chengxiang, and they looked very similar, at least in features with seven or eight points of resemblance. However, in behavior and temperament, there were differences. Though Jiang Xiaoqin’s grandfather and Zhong Xiaoyao’s grandfather had once mistaken her for Huang Chengxiang, after a few more looks, they determined she wasn’t their grandmother.

Huo Sining had also seen many twin sisters and brothers. Whether identical or fraternal, it’s virtually impossible for them to be completely identical after growing up. Unless it’s cloning, being indistinguishable even to close ones doesn’t align with scientific norms.

So Huo Sining instinctively shook her head, saying: ”That shouldn’t be possible. Why ask such a question? Did Yin Zeyan say something to you just now?”

Su Qingqing’s mind was in utter chaos at that moment, unable to sort out her thoughts. Therefore, facing Huo Sining’s question, she didn’t know how to respond or even where to begin.
