Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 106: Chapter 103: Releasing Life

Master Huang was originally overjoyed to have caught a big fish, but when that man said he wanted to buy it, he was somewhat displeased, intending to decline the man’s request. He never expected that the park staff would be so shameless as to try to snatch it away.

The master had taken up fishing on a whim and had never imagined catching such a large catfish.

Having enjoyed the joy of fishing and the admiring gazes of others, Master Huang felt very satisfied, and that was enough for him.

That fish hadn’t had an easy life, surviving over a decade, probably just as eager to cling to life as he was at his age.

‘He who cherishes life is favored by Heaven,’ he had planned to take the fish home to raise it and had never thought about selling or eating it.

But the park workers’ logic, akin to a robber’s, infuriated Master Huang.

...

He was naturally stubborn. You want to take advantage of me? Well, I’ll make sure you don’t get your way!

Master Huang’s face darkened, and he threw the fish back into the lake. Amidst the splashing water, a large wave surged up, and the fish was back in the lake.

The fish, now free, didn’t care for anything else, and after splashing around a bit, it quickly sank below the surface and disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Nobody had expected such a sudden turn of events. So by the time they reacted, the big catfish was gone.

The restaurant owner who wanted to buy the catfish was dumbfounded. He had never expected Master Huang to be so extreme as to let the giant catfish slip away without a word.

“You! How could you do this!” The park employee’s face turned beet-red with anger and frustration; there went the thousand bucks that were almost in his grasp!

“Comrade, didn’t you say that the fish belongs to the park? Well, then I am simply returning it to the park! Since I caught it myself, it may not be my property, but I still have the right to decide its fate, right? I released it, so you shouldn’t have any objections now, should you?”

Master Huang said to the employee, his tone half-mocking, half-smiling.

The employee was instantly speechless, his face turning an angry shade of steel blue, his mouth agape, unable to come up with a rebuttal.

“Ah, I’m so happy to have caught a big fish today. Girls, it’s getting late; let’s head back!”

Master Huang had won this battle, smacking the face of the park employee and leaving him eating humble pie. In high spirits, he called Huo Sining and Su Qingqing to head back.

Su Qingqing was impressed, giving Master Huang a thumbs-up without being able to help herself: “Grandpa, you’re really awesome!”

Master Huang raised his chin proudly: “Of course, don’t you know who your grandpa is? Back in the Vietnam War, when I stormed into the enemy camp all by myself, I never flinched and had the Americans running scared…”

After lunch at home, Huang Chengxin and Huang Jialin were ready to return to the capital, naturally, it was Huo Sining and Su Jinyuan’s responsibility to see them off.

“Huo girl, your great-uncle only came here to recognize you as his granddaughter, but you brought us such a big surprise. How can I ever thank you!” Huang Chengxin gripped Huo Sining’s hand, his voice filled with emotion, eyes glistening with moisture.

Seeing that his brother’s spirit had significantly improved after yesterday’s treatment, Huang Chengxin truly believed in Huo Sining’s massage technique for helping with his brother’s condition. Whether it could cure him or not, as long as it could bring relief, he would spare no effort in asking Huo Sining to help with the treatment.

“Second Uncle, look at what you’re saying, aren’t you considering me part of the family? Didn’t you say that you consider me as your own granddaughter? Since I’m like a granddaughter to you, isn’t it only right that I help treat my granduncle’s illness? Why speak of thanks, as if it’s so foreign? If you say that again, you’re treating me like an outsider, and I’ll be upset!”

Upon hearing this, Huang Chengxin couldn’t help but laugh, “Alright, your uncle won’t say it anymore. We’ll trouble you to take extra care of your granduncle’s illness. Just tell us what you need, and we’ll have someone send it directly.”

“Sure, I will, don’t worry!” Huo Sining nodded and agreed, smiling, “In a few months when I come back to the capital with my second uncle, I’ll definitely give you a big surprise!”

Hearing this, Huang Chengxin immediately cheered up, “Okay then, your second uncle will wait for you in the Imperial Capital.”

After seeing off the Huang father and son, Su Jinyuan drove back. As soon as they left the airport, Huo Sining started to feel sleepy and took a nap in the car. It wasn’t long before Su Jinyuan woke her up.

“Si Ning, wake up, we’re here,” Su Jinyuan said with a mild smile.

“Ah? We got home this quickly?” Huo Sining was somewhat surprised. Their villa district was in the city center, quite far from the airport. She felt like she had only slept for a short while; how could they have arrived home so swiftly?

With her head still groggy, Huo Sining lifted her head and found that Su Jinyuan’s car was parked in a strange parking lot. She felt something wasn’t right and immediately became alert, asking in confusion, “Weren’t we going home? Why did we come here? Where is this place?”

With a smile, Su Jinyuan said, “It seems someone’s birthday is coming up soon. How about I buy you a birthday present in advance?”

“Ah?” Huo Sining was confused, “How did you know about my birthday? And what birthday present are you going to buy me?”

There was a coolness in Su Jinyuan as he opened the passenger door, gently ruffled Huo Sining’s hair, and said warmly, “You’ll know once you get up there. Let’s go.”

Huo Sining was led by Su Jinyuan like a marionette out of the parking lot, not far until they reached a car dealership center, and upon looking up, saw a row of 4S shops.

“I was planning to just buy you one, but then I worried you might not like it, so I thought it’d be better to bring you here to choose,” Su Jinyuan said as he led Huo Sining straight to the BMW dealership, “Pick whichever model you like.”

Huo Sining was dizzy: “No, it’s not that—I did plan to buy a car, and I did intend to buy one soon, but I never thought you’d give me one as a gift. I can’t accept such an expensive birthday present.”

Su Jinyuan frowned, asking in a serious tone, “Do you want me to return the eighty thousand from the auction to you? Or are you looking to get back that Great Eastern Pearl?”

“When did I ever say I wanted that Pearl back?” Huo Sining’s eyes widened suddenly.

“There you go, ‘do not do unto others what you wouldn’t want done unto you.’ Since you don’t want to owe me, have you ever considered that I also don’t want to owe you any favors?” Su Jinyuan spread his hands, “As your brother, how would I feel not giving you anything in return and instead taking advantage of my sister?”

Huo Sining’s head was spinning, “Those three Pearls were originally collateral for the thirty thousand rent for the shop. We didn’t owe each other anything. And that’s entirely different; you made money from the auction because of your own skills, I never felt like I lost out on anything!”

“But the fact is, those three Pearls were worth more than that, so I did benefit from the deal,” Su Jinyuan raised an eyebrow, looking at Huo Sining with a half-smile.

“Standing in front of a seasoned CEO who has been in the business world for many years, are you sure you want to argue with me about who’s losing out and who’s benefiting?”
