Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 561: Chapter 558 Reporter is Here

You can’t get into trouble if you don’t court it,” Bai Yishan couldn’t help shaking her head as she saw Liu Yuxuan’s dispirited state, while Su Qingqing couldn’t hold back and spat out in disgust, cursing under her breath that it served her right.

”Extra, extra, internal scoop! Confirmed by video, in Ruili’s No. 2 Gambling Hall, the Gambling King’s granddaughter Liu Yuxuan called for bets, and the mysterious Miss Huo turned the tables, winning the gambling game!”

Some enthusiasts quietly recorded the gambling game and uploaded it online; once the video was released, the Jadeite forum erupted, with countless people exclaiming in amazement. Even more users on the forum started a thread exclusively for Huo Sining, hailing her as the new Jade Queen of the gambling stone circle!”

”The Queen reigns supreme!”

As soon as she got back to her hotel, Gu Xu called her, greeting her with a low and sensual voice.

”What?” Huo Sining felt somewhat confused, thinking she hadn’t heard him correctly.

Gu Xu chuckled on the other end, ”You’ve caused quite the stir in Ruili again, eh? Online, many people are calling you the Jade Queen.”

Huo Sining was unaware of the online buzz, and upon hearing Gu Xu’s words, she was momentarily stunned. Before she could ask more, her hotel room door was suddenly knocked on.

Just as Huo Sining was about to open the door, she heard Wu Jun’s voice outside: ”Who are you? What are you doing here?”

Huo Sining immediately sensed something was off. The handle she was holding onto loosened, and with her right hand resting on the door, she used her Heavenly Eye to warily observe the several people standing outside through the thick door.

”Sir, may I ask if this is the room of Miss Huo Sining? The thing is, we are reporters from the Yun Province Daily and we’d like to interview Miss Huo. I wonder if...”

One of the reporters saw Wu Jun with an icy demeanour, devoid of any warmth, and seemingly exuding a dangerous aura all around him, causing an abrupt drop in the atmospheric pressure and making it difficult for even their breaths to flow freely. They couldn’t help but blurt out the truth.

”An interview?” A hint of confusion flashed in Wu Jun’s eyes, but he quickly regained composure and said indifferently, ”Miss Huo is not here, and she will not accept your interview. Please leave!”

Reporters are always the most difficult to deal with—how could they easily give up just because of a few words from Wu Jun? Not willing to concede, one of them said defiantly:

”We’re here to interview Miss Huo, not you. Who do you think you are, acting all wild in front of us!”

Wu Jun had wanted to politely persuade these people to leave, but the reporter’s offensive words instantly made his gaze turn cold.

Seeing Wu Jun’s sudden change of expression, Huo Sining knew trouble was brewing. Ever since Wu Jun joined her at Xianyu Shop, he had been very compliant, but that didn’t mean the violent streak within him had vanished.

On the contrary, after being suppressed for so long, Wu Jun was likely in urgent need of an outlet for his pent-up aggression, and these reporters prodding Wu Jun was just the spark needed. Wu Jun could potentially lose his temper and lash out.

”Wu Jun!” Huo Sining didn’t want to cause trouble in Ruili and could only hurriedly call out to Wu Jun.

Upon hearing Huo Sining’s voice inside the room, Wu Jun indeed retracted his anger, but the reporters became excited.

They had gone to great lengths to find out Huo Sining’s whereabouts. Once they learned about Huo Sining winning the gambling game against the Gambling King Liu Chongren’s granddaughter in Ruili, the event that had caused an uproar online, the reporters swarmed over like cats smelling fish.

”Miss Huo, could you please open the door? We’re reporters from the Yun Province Daily, can you tell us how you managed to win against the Gambling King’s granddaughter today? Do you have any secret tricks for gambling stones? Rumor has it that you haven’t been involved with gambling stones for long, could you share with us your experiences in gambling stones?”

Seeing these reporters buzzing like flies, Huo Sining couldn’t help but frown deeply, she hadn’t expected this incident to bring so much trouble, and it seemed she could no longer stay at this hotel.

”Wife, is something wrong on your end? Wife...”

An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

”Gu Xu, I’ve run into a bit of trouble here, I might have to switch hotels in a bit, I can’t talk to you right now,” Huo Sining remembered she was still on the phone with Gu Xu and hadn’t hung up, so she quickly picked up her phone to speak.

”What’s happened?” As soon as Gu Xu heard Huo Sining was in trouble, his tone changed immediately, and he asked urgently.

Huo Sining was also a bit at a loss for laughter and tears: ”I don’t know what happened, I just returned to the hotel and there were reporters at the door, I really don’t know how they got the news!”

As Gu Xu heard this, he immediately relaxed, and thinking of the video that was going viral online, he couldn’t help but laugh as he said:

”I called to tell you about this; I reckon you are still unaware. The video of you gambling stones with that Liu Chongren’s granddaughter has been uploaded online, and now it’s being shared like crazy. Go check it out for yourself.”

”What?” Huo Sining was startled and hurriedly opened her computer, indeed she found the video of her and Liu Yuxuan gambling stones was shared in many places, not just on jade forums, but also on major websites like Wangyi, Souhu, Qiandu, and some even started threads on forums to once again reveal her identity as Miss Magic.”

Huo Sining was utterly speechless, what was this supposed to mean?! If Liu Yuxuan didn’t care about her own and the Gambling King’s face it was one thing, but she still had to mingle, and now with this situation, is it necessary for her to go out wearing sunglasses and scarves to disguise herself?

”Ningning, there are so many reporters staking out outside, what in the world is going on?”

Outside, Wu Jun had called hotel security over, and soon the reporters were escorted out by the security guards, but those reporters were still unrelenting, continuing to squat outside the hotel.

Seeing this, Su Qingqing and several others knocked on Huo Sining’s door and rushed in to ask anxiously.

Huo Sining, also not knowing whether to laugh or cry, turned the computer screen around and said wearily, ”There, that’s what’s happening!”

After watching the video, Bai Yishan breathed a slight sigh of relief, she had thought that Liu Yuxuan, after losing the bet, had sent people to cause trouble for Huo Sining. Now it seemed that she had worried unnecessarily.

”We can’t stay here, we need to relocate as soon as possible.”

Wu Jun quickly suggested, his responsibility being to ensure Huo Sining’s safety. Now with so many reporters around, some might fish in troubled waters and pose a threat to Huo Sining, making her safety difficult to guarantee, not to mention constantly having to be on guard against reporters knocking on the door.

”Should we go back to S City?”

Bai Yishan suggested to Huo Sining, going back was the safest option. Moreover, this trip to Ruili had already seen Huo Sining win several dozen high-quality jadeites on Gambling Stone Street, including an imperial green worth hundreds of millions and seven Jade Heaven Beads, this haul was already very significant, Bai Yishan felt they could completely make their way home.
