Reborn As Super Heiress

Huo Sining explained a few words for Liu Qingdong, but Zhao Guotian still looked angry.

Huo Sining was a bit puzzled, and Yan Xuesong couldn’t help but laugh, ”Huo girl, don’t mind him, this old guy just acts crazy as soon as people come around. He’s just upset that he didn’t encounter that 16.5-pound live Golden Softshell Turtle you mentioned, feeling frustrated and unwilling, wishing he could replace the person who bought your turtle.”

Huo Sining suddenly realized and couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh, ”Boss Zhao, if I ever encounter another Golden Softshell Turtle like that, I definitely won’t forget you, and I’ll make sure to keep it for you!”

Zhao Guotian looked depressed; he knew that Huo Sining was just teasing. A golden softshell turtle of fifty or sixty years old isn’t something you encounter often.

Moreover, such a creature that has lived so many years is almost like a spirit. Even if you encounter one, it’s not easy to catch. When Huo Sining caught such a big Golden Softshell Turtle alive before, Zhao Guotian felt it was incredible luck, a blessing that happening once would be fortunate enough, where would there be a second time?

Zhao Guotian silently complained in his heart and didn’t take Huo Sining’s promise to heart.

But he didn’t expect that his thoughts would be challenged in just a few months.

At this moment, everyone was sitting in the private room, not bothering to chat anymore, eagerly stretching their chopsticks towards the bubbling hot pot in the middle of the table.

Huo Sining was also eating with great relish. Although she had caught such a big Golden Softshell Turtle back then, given her status at the time, she wasn’t qualified to stay at Juxian Manor to taste the deliciousness of the Golden Softshell Turtle, so she still had no idea what this imperial tribute delicacy tasted like.

Unexpectedly, today at Zhao Guotian’s place, this particular regret of hers was satisfied, so Huo Sining didn’t hold back and ate as fast as everyone else.

After a satisfying meal, they chatted a bit more, asked Huo Sining about the progress of cultivating orchids for the Orchid Exhibition in January, and upon receiving Huo Sining’s positive response, Yan Xuesong and Chen Qiankun were relieved and stopped inquiring further. They all knew Huo Sining’s character, she wouldn’t assure them unless she was confident, so they felt very reassured about her work.

After the meal, everyone dispersed, and Huo Sining and Jiang Chao chatted about Jiang Chao’s mother being hospitalized as they walked out.

Huo Sining wasn’t one to meddle in others’ affairs, but she did take a liking to Jiang Chao, so she didn’t mind putting in a little more effort to ease her worries, allowing her to focus on her graduate studies.

”Since it’s still early, I saw there are many fruit stores at the school gate, let’s buy some fruits and visit your mom, and ask about the situation.”

Outside Guose Tianxiang, Wu Linger and Zhou Mei were nowhere to be seen; they must have already left. Huo Sining didn’t know how the police matter involving them was handled, but Zhou Mei filing a false report would surely lead to further trouble.

Of course, this was not something Huo Sining was concerned about, she was just worried that Wu Linger would recklessly let her uncle cause trouble out of embarrassment and anger. Although Huo Sining wasn’t afraid of petty tricks, it could still be annoying, so to prevent any issues, she decided it was better to accompany Jiang Chao to Tongren Hospital.

Huo Sining was actually overthinking it. Although Wu Linger was a bit dense, she was level-headed at critical moments. She knew very well the disparity in status between her and Huo Sining, and understood that Zhang Kuiquan and her uncle were not on the same level. Truly offending Huo Sining would mean Zhang Kuiquan, a vice dean, could easily crush her uncle, so Wu Linger backed down. She simply hid at home, feeling embarrassed, and didn’t even want to see Zhou Mei.

Huo Sining accompanied Jiang Chao to the hospital, and took the opportunity to call Zhang Kuiquan. Although Huo Sining had never contacted him before, as soon as he heard her name, the old vice dean immediately remembered who she was. Without much explanation, he rushed from the office building to the inpatient department where Huo Sining was, and without any instructions, Jiang Chao’s mother’s ward was promptly switched to a private suite.

Huo Sining hadn’t intended for Vice Dean Zhang to make such arrangements; she just hoped Zhang Kuiquan could oversee things and have a better attending physician assigned, since her relationship with Jiang Chao wasn’t that close.

But since Zhang Kuiquan took it upon himself to arrange things, Huo Sining didn’t deny him face. Seeing Jiang Chao’s face flushed with gratitude, she mused this was not bad, perhaps this small favor could make this girl more loyal and dedicated to working for her, which might not be a bad thing.

Indeed, Jiang Chao thought that way. Previously she saw Huo Sining as an idol but felt some distance. Now, Huo Sining had considered everything for her and made arrangements for her, and in Jiang Chao’s 22-year life, aside from her mother, there was really no one who treated her so sincerely. This greatly won over the girl, making her Huo Sining’s most loyal follower.

After visiting Jiang’s mother, Huo Sining deposited a hundred thousand yuan for medical expenses into Jiang’s mother’s hospital account before turning to leave Tongren Hospital.

When she got back to Huxin Villa, Su Qingqing’s call came through; she was on the other end of the phone excitedly asking about what happened outside Guose Tianxiang that evening.

”As soon as you returned to S City, you made a splash; in just one afternoon, such a big thing happened, even the school forum was stirred. Now all the gossip posts are talking about how you stood up for a senior today. Seriously, why didn’t you invite me out to dine with you, I missed out on such a good show!”

Huo Sining replied irritably, ”You’re one to talk, I didn’t tell anyone about returning to school, and yet here you are, shouting to the whole world anyway.”

Su Qingqing dismissed it, ”What’s the big deal? Anyway, you don’t think you’re some celebrity, just treat it normally. Besides, I only told a few acquaintances, didn’t shout it to the whole world like you said.”

Seeing Huo Sining about to say something, Su Qingqing hurriedly interrupted, ”Hey, hey, hey, don’t try to change the subject, what exactly happened this afternoon? The forum posts aren’t detailed, just mentioned you helped a senior, Jiang, in teaching Wu Linger and Zhou Mei a lesson. I’m still confused about the details.”

Of course, Huo Sining knew with Su Qingqing’s gossiping nature and persistence, she wouldn’t give up until she understood the whole story, so she sighed helplessly and explained what happened in detail.

Upon hearing Wu Linger was left speechless by Huo Sining, Su Qingqing laughed exaggeratedly on the phone:

”Hahaha, serves her right, that woman, I’ve been wanting to teach her a lesson for a while, just never found the opportunity!”
