Reborn As Super Heiress

So, after just an hour, Saiji accepted the setup of the acting and was tinkering with the television program alone, watching various dramas inside with great enjoyment, occasionally commenting:

”That thing you call a chicken, has nothing to do with the chicken we ate in our time, it’s actually what the scripts called ’Ears of the Wind’!”

Saiji pointed at the mobile phone used by the female lead in the TV.

Yue Shuwen immediately laughed, picked up her phone, opened the video call app, and sent it to her childhood friend, Li Jun.

It was morning over there, and Li Jun was obviously still groggy in bed. When he received the video and saw Yue Shuwen inside, he was a bit annoyed:

”Disturbing my beauty sleep so early in the morning, are you trying to make my life difficult?”

Yue Shuwen smiled triumphantly, winked at Saiji, who was standing nearby, afraid to show her face, exchanged a few pleasantries with Li Jun, and then hung up the video call.

Saiji didn’t quite understand it, but there was indeed a person talking to Yue Shuwen just now, so she tentatively asked:

”Is this...what you call the ’Eyes of a Thousand Miles’?”

Yue Shuwen burst into laughter: ”This is even more powerful than what you call ’Eyes of a Thousand Miles’. You saw my friend just now, right?”

Saiji nodded, but was still somewhat skeptical: ”I saw, but I don’t understand, you say it’s more powerful than the ’Eyes of a Thousand Miles’, why?”

Yue Shuwen explained with a smile: ”My friend is in America, and now the time there...hmm, it’s probably around six in the morning in America.”

”You probably don’t know about America, let me explain, it’s on the other side of Earth, New York is about twelve thousand kilometers away from here in a straight line.”

”At such a far distance, if I want to see him, I just need to make a phone call to see him. Wouldn’t you say that’s more powerful than the ’Eyes of a Thousand Miles’?”

Saiji was already dumbfounded, completely bewildered.

Twelve thousand kilometers, the distance completely exceeded her imagination. She really couldn’t understand how this thing called a ”hand chicken”—which cannot be eaten and doesn’t need to be fed—can see such a far distance.

The presence of Saiji made Huo Sining feel somewhat troubled; after all, there were still ordinary folks like Auntie Li and Tongtong at home who were uninformed. Moreover, knowing she had returned, acquaintances such as Huang Hongying, Su Jinyuan, and Bai Yishan might come over to visit, so it was impossible to keep this girl locked in the upstairs room forever; a slight oversight and the cover could be blown.

Thus, after contemplating for a night, Huo Sining decided it would be better to find a way to send this girl back home.

However, after more than a thousand years, Huo Sining couldn’t be certain if the girl could still find her home.

But even though it might be impossible to find, since Huo Sining promised to send her home, she couldn’t break her promise.

So, even though the result might be disappointing, Huo Sining decided to fulfill her promise. Therefore, early the next morning upon returning to the Magic Capital, Huo Sining called upon Yue Shuwen and Zhong Xiaoyao, and they drove off towards Hongqiao Seaport.

As for Gu Xu, well, since Gu Yuanyuan was so fond of her dad, let this super dad be in charge of babysitting at home.

Huo Sining intended to take Saiji out to sea and try to see if she could find a way back home. But as they reached the seaport, they hadn’t even found a chance to go down to the sea when they heard noises coming from the seaport side.

”Is this for real? I heard that last night, all fishing boats that went out were reaping fish once their nets were cast, every single one made a fortune!”

”It’s like hitting a jackpot, why couldn’t I have encountered such a good thing?”

”Exactly, something came up at home yesterday, so I didn’t go out to sea yesterday, really unlucky!”

”Didn’t you see Old Zheng, he’s laughing so hard that you can’t see his eyes, he made the most money. He and his son-in-law just scraped together enough money to buy a fishing boat, and last night was exactly their first night going to sea. I heard the cargo hold of the fishing boat couldn’t even fit everything, and they had to return to shore!”

”I heard too, they say Old Zheng’s batch even caught four or five Yellow-lipped Fish, each weighing dozens of kilograms! As soon as the news got out, Hilton’s hotel over there bought them early in the morning; those few Yellow-lipped Fish alone sold for seventy to eighty thousand! And a whole boatload of fish, now they’re in the clear, the fishing boat price recovered in one night, and they can earn tens of thousands on top of it!”

”This luck is so enviable, Old Zheng must be holding his head high by now?”

”This is freaking ridiculous, I’ve never heard of such a thing, been alive for almost half my life and it’s the first time I’ve heard about catching Yellow-lipped Fish so close to shore! What’s going on here?”

”Who knows? Now it’s all rumors, everyone who went out to sea last night said that the fish schools were rushing toward the seaport, even vying to get into their nets as if possessed.”

”Could it be signs of a tsunami or an earthquake? This is so bizarre, if it’s not a natural disaster coming, why would these fish collectively commit suicide? It doesn’t make sense!”

”Yeah, it’s really weird, something about this doesn’t add up. Did the Maritime Bureau or Earthquake Bureau issue any press releases?”

”Haven’t heard anything, but it seems people from the Maritime Bureau are here for the investigation, probably heard the news too, but I doubt they’ll find out much. After all, disasters are only explained after the fact, these people don’t know a thing!”

”...”

Huo Sining and her group heard the fishermen gathered discussing last night’s strange happenings in the waters near Hongqiao Seaport as they passed by.

Among the chatterers, some were bragging about their windfall, some were envious of their peers who made a fortune overnight, and most were puzzled by the mysterious phenomenon of so many fish schools inexplicably gathering near the shore last night.

Huo Sining, Yue Shuwen, and Zhong Xiaoyao exchanged a glance without saying a word, but a peculiar eye expression was shared among them.

Especially Yue Shuwen and Zhong Xiaoyao, struggling not to laugh at the conversation they overheard, finding it exceptionally difficult to hold back.

Well, although they hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes, by now, they all had a suspicion in their hearts.

To make such a big scene, even defying nature’s laws, the mastermind behind it all was likely none other than the beloved little runaway!

Seeing that the seaport had indeed raised a police line because of the incident and that people from the Maritime Bureau were there investigating, Huo Sining couldn’t help but hold her forehead, finding it a bit amusing.

With that kid making such a mess, going into the sea from the seaport was now impossible, and they had to change to another place.

Huo Sining really wanted to grab her son and give him a good spanking, but at this point, it was clearly not feasible, as she didn’t even know where that boy was causing trouble.
