Reborn As Super Heiress

After much explanation and persuasion, the Gu Family elders’ doubts were finally dispelled. They were convinced that the little chubby girl had no blood relation with the young couple, and Mrs. Gu’s face immediately lit up with a smile.

Although Tongtong, the little girl, was a bit thin, her features resembled Elisa’s. Even though she hadn’t grown into them yet, it was clear she was a budding beauty. Moreover, after being taken away from Jinling by Huo Sining and dolled up by Yue Shuwen and Zhong Xiaoyao, she looked even more charming and lovable.

And Blue Fatty, Niuniu, was even more deceiving. Not only was she plump all over, but she also had a sweet tongue. A few words from her were enough to make the elders of the Gu Family laugh happily, and they were instantly won over by her.

So, the sudden arrival of these two little ones didn’t upset the Gu Family elders at all. Instead, it brought them great joy, especially Madam Gu, who couldn’t stop kissing the little chubby girl, clearly showing her immense fondness for the child.

The little chubby girl usually bullied Qibao relentlessly, but at the Gu Family, she knew better and behaved submissively, clearly understanding that these people were not to be trifled with. So, not only did this mischievous girl hold back her temperament, but she also flattered each one individually.

During a break from entertaining others, she didn’t forget to glance sideways at Huo Sining with eyes full of smugness.

Huo Sining couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Others might not know the trick here, but how could she not know? This troublesome girl was, in fact, twelve or thirteen years old but was trapped in the shell of a one-year-old baby. So, pretending to be a child was effortless for her, fooling the family’s elders into thinking she was genuinely a little genius with exceptional intelligence!

Even Master Gu was quite astonished upon seeing this mischievous girl’s performance. Before Huo Sining and Gu Xu left, he specifically called the couple aside to earnestly instruct them to cultivate the little chubby girl well, as she was extraordinarily intelligent and had unlimited potential for the future.

Huo Sining found his words both amusing and exasperating, but she couldn’t expose the dead chubby girl right in front of the Master, so she had to hold back her laughter and nod in agreement.

Finally, after explaining the children’s matters clearly, Huo Sining breathed a sigh of relief. Actually, she didn’t need to inform the Gu Family elders about such matters so formally, but she learned a lesson from the incident with Jiang Weide.

Jiang Weide wasn’t able to cause much trouble due to insufficient connections.

If it had been someone more capable, Huo Sining wouldn’t have been able to handle the situation so smoothly.

So from that incident, Huo Sining realized an important problem.

Now that she’s a public figure, she can’t afford to be too presumptuous or overconfident in her abilities. After all, she’s just one person, who can’t consider everything comprehensively. Any slight oversight could lead to significant mistakes and impacts.

Moreover, when handling matters, she shouldn’t only think of herself. Whatever needs to be explained to the family should be done thoroughly so that if the media does expose anything, it wouldn’t catch anyone off-guard. Explaining afterwards is not only uncertain in terms of effectiveness but also undoubtedly more costly than addressing it before exposure.

After reaching the Imperial Capital with Tongtong, Huo Sining took the child to the Lu Family. Chief Lu didn’t say much to the child but only instructed Huo Sining to treat the child well.

This was unnecessary advice, as Huo Sining intended to do so anyway. In less than a week, she’d formed a deep bond with Tongtong and had fully witnessed the child’s sensibility, cleverness, and intelligence.

Such a child wouldn’t just win over Huo Sining. Even Qibao and Yue Shuwen grew fond of her. Even the typically reserved little chubby girl uncharacteristically stuck close to Tongtong.

Because Huo Sining brought a child to Chief Lu, news of her adopting two children quickly spread in the Imperial Capital.

However, due to the protective measures Huo Sining and Gu Xu had put in place for the children, people could only vaguely gather that Huo Sining had adopted children, but they couldn’t uncover specific details about them.

Some people wanted to create sensational news using the media, but given that Chief Lu had intervened, the media dared not make a move. Some self-media outlets tried to draw attention using this matter, but as soon as their articles were published, they were shut down by the propaganda department.

With higher-ups interfering, everyone knew it was a minefield, and no one dared to step on it. To mess with the Supreme Elder head is madness—unless you’re not planning to stick around!

After handling matters in the Imperial Capital, Huo Sining was ready to return to the Magic Capital to focus on her studies. But at this moment, she received a call from Windsor Reed.

Windsor Reed, on the other end, was very excited to tell Huo Sining that the batch of diamonds he purchased from her had been completely processed.

Since those diamonds were bought at a significant advantage from Huo Sining, and feeling grateful for her help, Windsor Reed called specifically to invite Huo Sining to England to appreciate the finished diamond pieces.

Those diamond pieces were meant for display at a London diamond trade exhibition in May, but before that, Windsor Reed hoped Huo Sining could be the first viewer and didn’t mind giving her a set of diamond jewelry if she liked them.

Huo Sining didn’t expect Windsor Reed to make such a call. She initially wanted to decline, but upon reconsideration, she realized she had seen many jadeite products in her life, yet she hadn’t seen such a large collection of diamond products. Given Windsor Reed’s sincerity, she thought, why not make the trip?

With this mentality, Huo Sining took a flight to England the following morning.

Of course, because she was carrying a child, Gu Xu naturally didn’t feel at ease with his wife traveling abroad alone, so he insisted that Yingzi and Yue Shuwen accompany her.

Unable to refuse Gu Xu’s request, Huo Sining agreed.

Upon reaching Windsor Castle, Windsor Reed immediately took Huo Sining to his collection room, where, besides various antiques, there was a whole row of glass showcases. Inside the showcases were the finished diamond pieces Windsor Reed intended to show her.
