Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1331: Chapter 1326: Useless Teammate

Borrowing the prestige of Daphne, Huo Sining felt a bit guilty.

However, Xing Jiaojiao seemed to be quite taken with Huo Sining’s act. Ever since she saw Huo Sining’s Platinum Card, her face had turned red, especially when the clerk confirmed that the card information was valid, she felt increasingly embarrassed.

Others might not know the special significance of that Platinum Card, but she knew it very well.

Xing Jiaojiao is addicted to fashion and loves buying luxury goods. She is an absolute fan of Daphne, purchasing several outfits from Daphne’s store every season. In her view, domestic luxury goods are mostly unworthy of high society, incomparable to foreign items, especially those designed by the French, known as the fashion capital.

Yet, Xing Jiaojiao never expected that although she admired and promoted Daphne so much and spent such a significant amount at the store, she could only get a somewhat elite membership card. And here, a rustic bumpkin she looked down upon actually pulled out a Daphne Platinum Card!

Such a discrepancy was simply unacceptable for Xing Jiaojiao.

This wasn’t just any brand membership card; reportedly, there are fewer than fifty holders worldwide! How did this bumpkin qualify?!

Xing Jiaojiao’s expression twisted, her face full of jealousy and a fierce desire to snatch that card from Huo Sining’s hand!

”Excuse me, are you Miss Huo Sining from S University?”

Just as Xing Jiaojiao glared at Huo Sining with a face full of envy and frustration, the girl beside her suddenly spoke up.

Huo Sining froze for a moment, turned to look at the girl, ”I’m from S University, and you are?”

Upon hearing this, a trace of delight flashed in the girl’s eyes, but she quickly concealed it and said with a smile, ”My name is Li Yu, you probably don’t know me. I saw your magic performance on Spring Festival Gala online, and I thought you looked familiar. I was afraid I had mistaken you, but it turns out you’re really her!”

”What magic?” Xing Jiaojiao, hearing Li Yu’s words, was puzzled and casually asked.

Li Yu looked a bit embarrassed and said apologetically to Huo Sining, ”Miss Huo, my friend is usually like this, accustomed to the ways of foreign etiquette, so she might speak and act directly. She bears no malice, really sorry.”

Huo Sining shook her head with a smile, yet internally she found it amusing.

This Li Yu is likely related to Li Hang, right? She speaks with a Liuli accent, seems courteous, but claiming Xing Jiaojiao has no malice—Huo Sining wouldn’t believe it even in death.

She’s not foolish; Xing Jiaojiao was clearly targeting her on purpose, it’s obvious.

”Xiao Yu, what are you talking about? Does this woman named Huo have some remarkable background?” Seeing Li Yu being so courteous to Huo Sining, Xing Jiaojiao felt curious and couldn’t help but tug on Li Yu’s clothes and whisper.

Li Yu glanced at the woman in red, sighed, and explained, ”Miss Huo is the mysterious Miss Magic from S City. Last year during Spring Festival, her magic performance caused quite a stir, didn’t you know?”

Seeing Xing Jiaojiao confused, Li Yu was internally frustrated but continued to smile as she explained:

”Miss Huo is proficient not only in treasure appraisal but also gambling stones. She once wagered jadeite worth over a billion in Ruili, with three gambles each yielding better results, making her renowned as the Jade Queen in the stone gambling community. Besides, she owns a Jade Company!”

Xing Jiaojiao grew increasingly startled as she listened; she might not understand stone gambling, but she had heard of glass-type jadeite. This woman named Huo looked like a bumpkin, yet surprisingly she was so formidable.

A single piece of glass-type jadeite is worth over a billion, and this woman has gambled several pieces. Doesn’t that mean this woman named Huo is worth several billion?

Xing Jiaojiao had seen people worth several billion before, but with Li Hang’s family power today, pulling out several billion isn’t difficult; yet those aren’t personally Li Hang’s, nor do they relate to her.

She had just insulted someone as a bumpkin, and now in comparison, who really is the wealthy one? Anyone with eyes could see.

Now, Xing Jiaojiao felt so ashamed she wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it.

Li Yu noticed Xing Jiaojiao showing signs of embarrassment and irritation, feeling disdainful internally. She never favored her cousin’s new girlfriend; initially hearing Xing Jiaojiao was a distinguished lady, she viewed her favorably. But now she saw this woman was nothing but vain and brainless.

Huo Sining, despite her young age, managed a vast business empire, proving her background and capability are noteworthy. Befriending such a woman offers only benefits, never drawbacks.

What Huo Sining couldn’t have missed was that she mentioned Xing Jiaojiao’s name first, indicating prior acquaintance. With such connections, Xing Jiaojiao should have managed their relationship well instead of speaking rudely and offending her immediately. Is this woman brainless?

Li Yu felt frustrated; she currently owned a small jewelry store that was insignificant in Liuli but had ambitions to expand it, ideally into inland markets.

She struggled to find an avenue for this and sought a knowledgeable and capable inland partner—collaboration would be perfect.

Spotting Huo Sining, Li Yu’s mind buzzed with ideas; she thought Huo Sining was indeed her ideal business partner. She aimed to converse with Huo Sining, but didn’t anticipate today’s luck being poor—not having helpful accomplices but instead carrying a hindering companion.

Xing Jiaojiao was simply incompetent and useless!

”Miss Huo, we’ve reported your measurements to headquarters, and you should soon receive a response from Miss Daphne. We apologize for today’s inconvenience and hope for your forgiveness.”

At this point, the clerk finished handling matters and reported outcomes to Huo Sining, bowing to her, filled with regret.

Huo Sining nodded with a smile, ”Thank you for your trouble.”

Since it had come to this, customizing a few handmade gowns was good enough; Huo Sining was open-minded.

After the clerk assisted her and Huang Hanyun in measuring their sizes, Huo Sining didn’t wish to linger, so she took Huang Hanyun and prepared to leave.

This time, the young female clerk, perhaps genuinely naive or intentionally, addressed Xing Jiaojiao directly, ”Miss Xing, earlier you mentioned you wanted to purchase all the gowns in our store. I’ve just tallied them—we have 462 in stock. Will you be paying by card or cash?”
