Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 166: Chapter 163 Fury Transfer

“A Zhen, by behaving this way, you’re playing right into the Su Family’s cunning plot. They are itching for you to fall and never get back up. The more dejected you are, the more they gloat!” Ye Zixin walked over and supported Zhou Zhen’s shoulders, comforting him in her usual soft voice, yet the calculation in her eyes was something she could not fully conceal.

True enough, as soon as Ye Zixin spoke these words, Zhou Zhen abruptly lifted his head, “The bid for King Biao was my downfall, what does that have to do with the Su Family?”

“Who said that?” Ye Zixin disagreed, looking at Zhou Zhen, “You’ve been shut in this room for a whole day. Haven’t you thought there might be something wrong with this situation? Do you really think it was a coincidence that we spent forty million to acquire that rough stone?”

When Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian learned that Huo Sining and the others were preparing to return to S City, they immediately expressed their wish to accompany them.

Ouyang Jun was naturally returning to the Yixin Investment Company in S City. As for Qin Tian, he was single-mindedly trying to get close to Huo Sining, looking for a professional fish farming expert for his mother. However, Huo Sining seemed to have little interest in him, leaving Qin Tian, who was usually invincible among young ladies, feeling quite frustrated.

It was quite a coincidence that not long after the group arrived at Guangcheng Airport, Ouyang Jun received a call from Gu Xu.

It turned out that Gu Xu had finished his business in Hong Kong, and he called to ask whether Ouyang Jun and the others were still in Pingzhou.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Jun hurriedly asked Gu Xu to come to Guangcheng Airport, and sure enough, after more than half an hour, Gu Xu had already arrived.

“You haven’t been waiting long, have you?” Gu Xu approached and immediately spotted Huo Sining in the crowd, a trace of amusement flashing in his eyes.

Ouyang Jun shook his head indifferently, “We’re going to S City first. Are you coming with us?”

Gu Xu nodded, “It just so happens that I have some business to take care of in S City. I’ll take a connecting flight back to the Imperial Capital afterward.”

Gu Xu made a phone call, and soon the flight tickets were booked. The party prepared to go through security and boarding gates.

Although it was not a holiday, there were still many people at the airport, and Huo Sining and his companions could only queue up to wait their turn obediently.

The man in front of Huo Sining was dressed in a suit and was not tall, carrying a large backpack on his back.

At first, Huo Sining didn’t pay much attention to him but noticed that the man’s eyes were very strange, occasionally glancing over at the nearby security officers and patrolling staff, occasionally flashing a bloodthirsty and frightening gleam.

Huo Sining thought he was being overly sensitive and didn’t take it to heart. Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone in the queue behind him squeezed forward, bumping directly into Huo Sining.

Caught off guard, Huo Sining staggered forward several steps, unintentionally falling onto the man’s backpack.

Feeling the impact, the man whirled around, his eyes, like those of an eagle, fixed intently on Huo Sining. With a face full of tension and anger, he demanded, “What are you doing?!”

Huo Sining quickly drew back, giving the man an awkward smile. “I’m sorry, sir, there was a push from behind and I didn’t stand firm. I truly apologize.”

The man’s eyes, fierce and merciless, scanned Huo Sining up and down.

Zhou Zhen’s eyes sharpened with suspicion as he looked at Ye Zixin, “What do you mean by that?!”

Ye Zixin glanced up at Zhou Zhen, making sure he wasn’t angry before she hesitantly began to speak, “Actually, this is just my speculation. We had people watching Su Jinyuan, but he’s always been careful and cautious. How could our people so conveniently see him bidding, and even get the price right? Su Jinyuan is the helmsman of Donghua; he shouldn’t make such amateurish mistakes.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhen’s face showed shock, “Are you saying that all this was intentionally designed by Su Jinyuan to set me up?!”

Ye Zixin shook her head, “I’m not certain, but I find the matter very fishy, including the sudden appearance of Jin Youtai. Everything seems too coincidental. Why did Boss Jin suddenly become acquainted with you before the bidding, and on top of that, he deliberately showed his strength, prompting you to wager on a piece of rough to win back half of your capital, just to dispel your suspicions about Jin Pangzi?”

“There’s something off about this Jin Pangzi!”

Zhou Zhen finally found a target for his resentment as he seethed through his teeth,

“No wonder when I was short of funds and sought cooperation with Jin Pangzi, he agreed so readily, only to pull out at the last moment before the rough was about to be cut! Because this man was deliberately placed by my side by Su Jinyuan, all to make me place high bids and successfully win the King Biao of 2547!”

Seeing that Zhou Zhen genuinely believed her words, Ye Zixin breathed a sigh of relief, while secretly taking pride.

She knew she was distorting the truth; Zhou Zhen’s failure had nothing to do with Su Jinyuan. But now, with Zhou Zhen down and out, if she didn’t provoke him and give him a reason, who knew how long it would take for him to recover? What she said was also an excuse for Zhou Zhen, so he could justify things to his family.

Of course, Ye Zixin had another ulterior motive – she really despised, no, deeply hated Su Qingqing.

Su Qingqing always thought of herself as a lady from a prominent family, thus looking down on others with a sense of superiority, didn’t she?

If the Zhou Family were to find out that Zhou Zhen’s bid for King Biao and his downfall were orchestrated by Su Jinyuan, they would surely seek to retaliate.

Even if they couldn’t get revenge, causing trouble for the Su Family was good enough.

As she thought about this, a venomous smirk flickered in Ye Zixin’s eyes.

Su Qingqing, don’t think you can win against me forever. I, Ye Zixin, swear to the heavens, the suffering that I endure today will one day be repaid twofold upon you!

Regarding being hated for no reason, Su Qingqing felt quite innocent.

She didn’t consider herself a lady from a hereditary family, nor had she ever looked down on Ye Zixin, so naturally, she was unaware of Ye Zixin’s thoughts.

However, no matter what Su Qingqing did, in Ye Zixin’s eyes, it was all showing off and attracting hatred.

Because in this world, there are people who will never believe they are at fault; no matter what happens, the first person they resent is someone they perceive to be living a better life than themselves — a manifestation of another kind of psychological distortion called jealousy.

Su Qingqing didn’t know she had incurred Ye Zixin’s transferred anger. They were busy preparing to return to S City, and she couldn’t care less about what might become of Zhou Zhen, the collapsed king.

Huo Sining’s purchased rough stones had already been sent back to S City through the fast-shipping channel of the stone gambling convention. Huo Sining could finally relax completely after receiving an affirmative response from Wu Jun.

Although the stone gambling convention wasn’t over, there were only a few dozen exhibitors left displaying raw stones. The majority of stone gambling enthusiasts had begun their journey home, and Huo Sining’s group was no exception.

Huo Sining felt a sudden alarm in her heart, recalling the strange beeping noise she thought she heard when she had fallen onto the man’s backpack.
