Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 785: Chapter 781 Who is Miss Huo

Zhong Yuejin and Wang Zhongwei had both seen Huo Sining before, just a girl not even twenty years old, so when Zhong Zifan brought her to the Wang family at that time, neither of them took her seriously.

But now, seeing so many people gathered around Dianshifang, their excitement and agitation upon seeing Huo Sining come out made Wang Zhongwei and Zhong Yuejin realize something was amiss.

’She is just a little girl, why are these people reacting so fiercely?’ they thought.

Zhong Yuejin and Wang Zhongwei instinctively exchanged glances, their eyes filled with intense confusion.

Neither of them knew what was going on. Zhong Yuejin, being quick-witted, immediately pulled one of the onlookers and asked, ”Brother, who exactly is this Miss Huo that everyone is so excited about?”

The man, interrupted by Zhong Yuejin, was clearly a bit displeased and turned his head to glance at Zhong Yuejin with irritation, ”You can tell you’re not from the stone gambling circles; otherwise, how could you not know who Miss Huo is?”

Zhong Yuejin’s expression grew unsightly. He might not be from the stone gambling circles, but his family owned a jewelry store, didn’t they?

However, he wanted to understand the background of this Miss Huo, so he couldn’t afford to get angry with the man, and holding back his irritation, he patiently said, ”I don’t know about her; I was just attracted by the crowd and thought I’d join in the excitement. Is Miss Huo very famous?”

”Of course, she’s famous!” As that man spoke of her, he couldn’t stop himself, ”This Miss Huo is none other than the ’Mysterious Huo’ who has recently gained a big reputation. Don’t look at her young age; her stone gambling skills are very solid! In Ruili, she gambled out an Emerald Heavenly Bead and an Emperor from the Mogang Rock, not to mention she also won against Liu Chongren’s granddaughter at the stone gambling public offering.”

”That’s not all. The Gambling King, feeling his pride wounded, wanted to gain back face, so he arranged a birthday banquet not long after and challenged Miss Huo to a bet. Incredibly, Miss Huo won against the Gambling King’s granddaughter in two straight rounds and, overnight, won ten billion of the Liu family’s assets.”

”Miss Huo is not only rich but has also opened a Jade Studio called Jade Beauty. There was a jewelry exhibition in the Imperial Capital a while back, and the jade jewelry of Jade Beauty was sold to France; a set of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling jade hairpins went for a whopping fifty million!”

”Moreover, it’s said that the materials for these Beauties were all above Ice-type high-grade jadeite, all gambled by Miss Huo herself! Now tell me, isn’t she impressive?”

After hearing what the man had to say, Zhong Yuejin’s face instantly soured.

Meanwhile, Wang Zhongwei was somewhat stunned; he recalled the ID card that Huo Sining had shown him when they were signing the sales contract yesterday. When he had finished looking at the ID card, Wang Zhongwei had felt that the name Huo Sining sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Now, after hearing the man’s explanation, Wang Zhongwei felt like he had been enlightened, and everything clicked into place.

He had attended the Ruili stone gambling event, but he wasn’t present when Huo Sining and Liu Yuxuan were betting, so he had only heard some bettors talking after the gambling was over, and the legend of this ’Mysterious Miss Huo’ was spreading all over Ruili.

He hadn’t stopped keeping tabs on the mysterious Miss Huo and had even read a feature article about her in the newspaper. However, when Huo Sining truly stood in front of him, he simply couldn’t connect this young girl to the legendary gambling expert the rumors spoke of.

Zhong Yuejin vaguely felt that something was amiss. He was uneasy and couldn’t help but continue to question the man, ”Brother, since Miss Huo is so formidable, what do you think about the performance of this raw material today? Can it increase in value when it’s cut?”

The man glanced at Zhong Yuejin, ”If it were anyone else, even if this raw material performed ten times better, I wouldn’t be optimistic. But now that it’s Miss Huo who is going to do the stone cutting, the likelihood of its value increasing is much greater.”

”That piece of Sand Hole Raw Material can increase in value too?” Zhong Yuejin refused to believe it, or perhaps it was more that he couldn’t accept it.

The man gave Zhong Yuejin a look and smiled, ”You haven’t seen Miss Huo cut stones, so you don’t understand. This girl is best at creating miracles. Originally no one was optimistic about the Mogang Rock raw material, but it was this girl who cut out an Emerald Heavenly Bead and imperial green from it. Do you think this piece of Sand Hole can gamble increase?”

Zhong Yuejin felt the veins on his forehead bulging out, and his entire being felt awful.

He turned around and looked at Wang Zhongwei, lowering his voice, ”What do you think?”

Wang Zhongwei gave a wry smile, ”It seems that Zhong Zifan has found a great assistant this time. He dares to cut the stone in front of so many people, which means he must be confident he can yield jadeite. I never expected that Zhong Zifan would actually have connections with the mysterious Miss Huo!”

Zhong Yuejin looked at Huo Sining standing at the entrance of Dianshifang with a smile brimming on her face, feeling as though he couldn’t catch his breath, ”Should we just let it go like this? The raw material came from you, why don’t you just step forward, refund the 200,000 yuan, and say you won’t sell them the raw material!”

Wang Zhongwei shook his head and sighed, ”It’s too late. The raw material wasn’t bought by Zhong Zifan but by this woman with the surname Huo. And to prevent me from having second thoughts, she took precautions and made me sign a sales agreement when purchasing the raw material yesterday.”

It was only now that Wang Zhongwei remembered, from beginning to end, the transaction was actually Huo Sining acting on behalf of Zhong Zifan. Even when buying the Sand Hole Raw Material and talking about the contract, Huo Sining used her own ID, and the name signed in the end was Huo Sining’s.

In other words, from start to finish, Huo Sining was the one making the deal, and Zhong Zifan had no part in it whatsoever.

This obvious oversight hadn’t been caught by Wang Zhongwei at the time because when Huo Sining said she wanted to buy the Sand Hole Raw Material, he was too excited. Fearing that Huo Sining and Zhong Zifan might have regrets, he was too eager to sign the contract, without giving much thought to it.

At this point, the situation was likely beyond what regrets could mend. Zhong Yuejin was annoyed, but with the agreement written in black and white, he indeed had no recourse.

”Hmph, not even immortals can guarantee the outcome with jade, let alone with a piece of fake material and one with a Sand Hole. I just don’t believe it, no matter how good she is at gambling stones, can she really carve a miracle out of such trash materials?!”

Zhong Yuejin watched coldly at the two pieces of raw material on the stone cutting machine, snorting internally. So many people were kissing up to this woman with the surname Huo, as if she really could win nine out of ten gambles. He just refused to be one of the believers. A girl not even twenty years old, could she really be better than the old experts?!
