Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1031: Chapter 1027: Daughter-in-law, Welcome Home

That night, although he wasn’t present, Huo Sining’s time of entering the National Museum was very clear to him. From the museum’s closing time until Huo Sining left, sending him a message that she had safely withdrawn, the whole process took less than five hours.

What can be done in five hours? Even if her mysterious senior brother is amazing, could he really steal over four thousand antiques in just a few hours? How did he accomplish it? Is this person a superman?

In fact, after Christmas, when Gu Xu returned to the Imperial Capital from Dongyang, he had Yu Fei send him the surveillance video of the National Museum taken on Ping An Ye.

These videos were specially copied out from the server by Yu Fei after taking over the museum’s surveillance system that night.

The reason for wanting that video was because Gu Xu was worried that Huo Sining and her team might have left a clue due to carelessness.

However, to Gu Xu’s surprise, he watched the entire video from start to finish, and saw absolutely nothing.

According to what Huo Sining said, they stole over four thousand antiques from the museum that night, meaning the team must have had at least twenty people acting together.

But in these surveillance videos, not a single face, not even a shadow, was captured. How did they get in, how did they steal, and how did they leave? There’s not a single trace.

Even Huo Sining herself, she entered the museum openly, but after entering, never once did the electronic eye capture her.

These people seemed to appear out of thin air and disappear without a trace, making them completely unpredictable.

Thinking about this, Gu Xu’s mind became somewhat chaotic, with messy thoughts emerging, leaving him unable to grasp any clues.

He looked at the peacefully sleeping young girl beside him with complex expressions, wanting to ask, but ultimately couldn’t bear to press her.

He knew Huo Sining was hiding secrets. From Qigong Massage Technique to audaciously entering the National Museum to steal artifacts, it all proved one thing: that she must have something to rely on.

But what that reliance was, Gu Xu couldn’t guess, and he didn’t want to doubt her.

He sighed, thought for a moment, and sent a message to Yu Fei.

”The surveillance footage from that night at the National Museum, you have backups of it, right? Delete it all, leave nothing.”

Within seconds, a reply came from the other side: ”Received.”

Gu Xu put away his phone, turned his head to the side, leaned down slowly, kissed the forehead of the young girl in the passenger seat, and fastened her seatbelt before driving the car home.

The car drove for a while; by the time it came to a steady stop, Huo Sining was already asleep, unaware.

Gu Xu steadily watched Huo Sining sleeping quietly, suddenly finding the chaotic thoughts in his mind quite funny.

No matter what secrets she held, this woman was absolutely harmless to him and even genuinely devoted.

A phone call to her and without needing many words, she was willing to treat Master Qin; even when he mentioned the secret treatment of his gunshot wound, she didn’t deny it but acknowledged it directly.

Doesn’t this prove she’s slowly trying to be honest with him?

Upon thinking more carefully about how this girl, upon learning about his past relations, went all out to bring a major brand like Xiagnai to cooperate with Shengtang, and even boldly proclaimed her ownership in front of Yao Xinzhu, saying ”This man is mine,” Gu Xu suddenly felt foolish.

How difficult must it be in one’s lifetime to find that one rib amongst the vast sea of people that truly matches you? This woman is the one he sees as capable of binding his true heart, even if she holds secrets, she’s his woman.

One day, he will wait until this little girl opens her heart to him completely. Until then, he remains silent, patiently waiting, no matter how long it takes; as long as she’s willing to speak, everything will be worthwhile.

Held in Gu Xu’s embrace, Huo Sining felt the swaying as she slowly woke from a dazed sleep, paused for a few seconds as her brain began to function again, remembering she was in Gu Xu’s car coming back, struggling to sit up, only to realize the surroundings seemed off: ”Where is this? You didn’t take me back to the old residence?”

Gu Xu carried Huo Sining horizontally, seeing her awake, gazed at her lovingly, and smiled: ”No, I brought you to a place.”

Huo Sining rubbed her eyes, puzzled: ”What place? So mysterious.”

Gu Xu smiled, lowered his head, rubbed his chin on Huo Sining’s forehead, and said: ”Close your eyes first.”

Huo Sining was taken aback, obediently closed her eyes.

Gu Xu’s lips curled up, holding her tighter, walked forward step by step, stopping in front of a large iron gate, took out a key from his pocket, and pressed it against the gate.

Huo Sining heard a beep near her ear, quickly opened her eyes, and the scene before her left her stunned.

Quiet lights stretched from the large iron gate inward. Upon entering, a spacious swimming pool was on the left, and a vast garden was on the right, surrounded by lush greenery, beautiful landscapes with green trees, lawns, rock formations, gazebos, ponds, stone pathways complementing each other. Not far away, a standalone European-style villa hidden within looked tranquil and elegant, with a unique charm.

Huo Sining was somewhat dumbfounded, clutching Gu Xu’s shirt, a fleeting thought flashed through her mind, starlit eyes welling with light, as she looked up at Gu Xu with surprise and expectancy: ”Where is this?”

Gu Xu’s eyes were filled with tenderness, his smile full of indulgence: ”Welcome home, darling.”

Huo Sining had guessed this possibility, but hearing it confirmed by Gu Xu still left her shocked, gazing at the quietly lit villa ahead and the clear, tranquil scenery around, she instinctively covered her mouth, eyes filled with tears.

Though she had Xianyu Shop in S City, an apartment near S University, and even owned a courtyard house in Lao Huai Hutong in the Imperial Capital, these houses felt merely like buildings to her. Despite occasionally staying there, she never truly regarded them as her home, because there wasn’t a person in those houses who truly held her heart.

Reincarnated for over a year, having fallen out with the Huo family, smashed the Jade Clean Bottle pendant, resolved to start her new life alone, she pretended to be strong, telling herself that even without anyone to rely on, she could live well on her own.

Thus, she fashioned herself into a strong woman, living only by her own strength.

But now, there’s someone who opened his arms to her, telling her ”Welcome home.”

And this place before her, everything in this courtyard felt idyllic like an unreal dream.

At this moment, Huo Sining realized that she wasn’t as strong as she appeared; she also yearned for a real home.
