Reborn As Super Heiress

I saw with my own eyes that Lai Wenguang was taken into the police car, and the gambling stone shop was directly sealed by several people from the industry and commerce bureau. Master Li, sitting in the tea house opposite, was still a bit dazed and took a long time to react.

Yingzi didn’t care what the master was feeling at this moment, she just smiled and said,

”Alright, the show is over, we can go back now.”

When Master Li heard what Yingzi said, he finally came back to his senses and quickly nodded to follow Yingzi’s steps.

Back at the Guan Yu Beauty Shop, Huo Sining looked at Yingzi with a smile, ”How was it?”

Yingzi nodded, ”Sure enough, those uncut stones were fake. The people from the industry and commerce bureau brought instruments, and they found the problem as soon as they tested them.”

Huo Sining stopped asking further, but instead turned her head, smiling as she said to Master Li, ”Master Li, from now on you can work well here in this shop. Don’t worry, my shop conducts legitimate business and definitely does not deceive customers or go against conscience!”

Master Li nodded, but there was still doubt in his eyes. He wasn’t someone to hide his thoughts, so he couldn’t help but ask,

”Miss Huo, was the matter with Lai Wenguang your doing?”

Huo Sining’s expression was very forthright, ”It was me, but I didn’t wrong him. He brought it on himself, self-inflicted suffering; he can’t blame me.”

This left Master Li completely speechless. He very much agreed with Huo Sining. That Lai Wenguang, using some connections, acted recklessly and arrogantly, thinking he could dominate the street. Previously, when Master Li went to ask for his salary, that man’s arrogant mannerisms were still vividly present in Master Li’s mind. Now seeing Lai Wenguang in such a miserable state, Master Li felt inexplicably pleased!

Moreover, through this incident, he also realized that this Miss Huo Sining was a person who couldn’t stand injustice. The more transparent and uninhibited such a person is in speech and action, the more peaceful one’s work life would be with them. Even if he didn’t make much progress, he wouldn’t lack for food and clothing, and as long as he didn’t commit any foolish mistakes, Miss Huo wouldn’t arbitrarily fire him like that Lai did. Perhaps he could work there until retirement, who knows.

With such an opportunity, Master Li would certainly seize it without hesitation. He stood up straight and declared his loyalty to Huo Sining,

”Miss Huo, rest assured, I will surely do a good job!”

Huo Sining nodded. She didn’t care much about this matter. After all, it was just a small stone gambling master; she wasn’t particularly concerned about the Guan Yu Beauty Shop, let alone a stone gambling master. She intervened in this incident primarily because this Master Li happened to be to her liking, but to say she was very concerned, she wasn’t.

Of course, such things, Huo Sining would never say openly in front of Master Li.

After arranging for Lin Wenya to take Master Li to the employee dormitory, Huo Sining, also feeling a bit weary, called for Yingzi to drive them back.

As the car was driving away, the area around Wangfujing was quite congested. Huo Sining was in no rush and reclined in the back seat to nap. Just as the car was about to leave Wangfujing Street, she noticed a crowd scattered around across the street, as if something had happened.

Currently with a large belly, Huo Sining hadn’t intended to watch such a commotion, but her casual glance caught sight of a familiar-looking girl among those people.

The girl was none other than Su Anning from the Su Family, whom Huo Sining had met unexpectedly at Su Zhongqing’s birthday banquet.

Although Su Anning was somewhat arrogant, in truth, she was just a little spoiled, but not inherently bad.

She used to be jealous that Huo Sining was accepted by Zhou Shitao as a closed-door disciple, but after being outshone by Huo Sining at Su Zhongqing’s birthday banquet, the girl seemed to have had a sudden epiphany and not only stopped brooding over it but even greatly admired Huo Sining, often hanging around Jubao Pavilion where Huo Sining was, and sometimes even sending her messages or emails to discuss antique identification matters.

Initially, Huo Sining didn’t have much patience to deal with such an entangled young lady, but since this girl was Master Su Zhongqing’s granddaughter, out of respect for the old gentleman, she couldn’t just brush her off, so she interacted with her patiently.

Through this interaction, Huo Sining was quite surprised; despite her temperamental and delicate nature, Su Anning did indeed have some unusual insights in the realm of antiques, although her talent was ordinary. Her quirky reasoning, albeit often misguided, did occasionally provide Huo Sining with some eye-opening perspectives.

Now seeing Su Anning on the street, seemingly in trouble, Huo Sining frowned and quickly called to Yingzi in the driver’s seat, ”Yingzi, stop for a moment!”

Yingzi was startled, instinctively turned to look at Huo Sining, ”Miss, what’s wrong?”

Huo Sining pointed towards Su Anning and said, ”Drive the car over there, let’s see what’s happening.”

Following Huo Sining’s direction, Yingzi glanced over, frowning slightly. But she couldn’t disobey Huo Sining’s order, so she cautiously made a U-turn and slowly approached the crowd.

After finding a spot at the street corner to park the car, Huo Sining and Yingzi got out together and walked over.

”You really got it wrong, I already said I didn’t steal your wallet, I really didn’t!”

Su Anning was currently held by one man and one woman by her arms, her face flushed red with grievance, her eyes filled with tears and a hint of sobbing tone.

Many passersby were gathered in small groups, watching this incident unfold.

Upon hearing Su Anning’s defense, the man in his thirties holding her arm immediately spoke up,

”Caught red-handed, and you still want to deny it? You say it’s not you, then why would this lady’s wallet end up in your pocket for no reason? Could this wallet have grown legs and walked into your pocket?”

The young man waved a pink wallet in the other hand, his expression seeming quite indignant.

The young woman in her twenties holding Su Anning’s other arm heard this and tightened her grip, loudly questioning,

”That’s right, this is simply sophistry! My wallet couldn’t have grown wings and flown into your pocket, could it?”
