Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1451: Chapter 1435: You Still Have Me

Huo Sining suddenly raised her head and looked at Gu Xu in astonishment: ”You... don’t think my decision is ridiculous?”

Gu Xu laughed, ”Why is it ridiculous? Money is just something external. What do we need so much money for? No matter how much asset we have, it’s just a series of numbers in the bank. It’s better to put it to good use.”

”Besides, even if we really donate all our assets now, with our abilities, we can still make a living. Isn’t it said that wealth can return after being scattered? I’m not a miser. As long as there’s enough, it’s fine.”

”Moreover, you’re my wife, after all. Whether you buy luxury goods or donate to charity, it’s your own money you’re spending. If your husband needs to rely on your earnings to live, then what’s the point of such a husband?”

”Don’t worry, even if you spend all your family property, you still have me.”

Huo Sining’s previous uncertainties and hesitations instantly turned into gratitude and love. Almost immediately, she plunged into Gu Xu’s arms, hugged his neck, and kissed him passionately.

She knew very well that her decision was impulsive and abrupt. If it were anyone else, they probably would have freaked out. But Gu Xu not only didn’t express displeasure, he was willing to support her through action.

Huo Sining didn’t expect Gu Shengtang to provide much funding for the Beauty Fund, but she desperately needed Gu Xu’s support.

The words ”Don’t worry, even if you spend all your family property, you still have me” were probably the most touching and emotional love words Huo Sining had ever heard in her life.

Gu Xu probably didn’t expect that a few simple and sincere words would provoke such a strong reaction from his wife. However, with the good fortune present, he wouldn’t refuse it. He wasn’t Liu Xiang Hui; he had no reason not to embrace his wife when she spontaneously came to him.

Not long after returning to the Magic Capital, Bai Yishan came to Huo Sining, utterly annoyed by her brother’s incessant phone calls.

Huo Sining had long expected Bai Guoming to lose his patience, but seeing Bai Yishan in such a state, even her usually kind self couldn’t help but feel a bit frustrated and said:

”I think you’re really dumb. You usually have a pretty sharp mind. How come you lose it when it comes to your brother’s matters?”

”The more desperate he is, the calmer you need to be. He’s the one begging you now, not the other way around. This is a great opportunity to take advantage of the situation and resolve everything once. Otherwise, knowing your brother, he might manipulate your sister-in-law to bother you once this ordeal is over!”

Bai Yishan was a bit embarrassed: ”That might be true, but those herbal materials sank to the sea, and no one can come up with a solution. My brother recently approached more than a dozen salvage companies, but when they heard it was in the South Sea and a deep-sea area, no one dared to take the job. That’s why he bothers me. Yet I don’t dare to play tricks on him. If he finds out I lied, things might escalate further.”

”Lie? Lie about what? Gosh, you’re really dumb. Didn’t I ask you for the coordinates last time? What do you think I wanted them for? Your brother’s goods have been recovered, and now the initiative is in your hands. You decide what to do next!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Yishan abruptly raised her head, looking a bit shocked and incredulous: ”Recovered? Really? But no, my brother said it’s a deep-sea area of three to four hundred meters, and ordinary salvage companies don’t have the technology. Who did you find to retrieve it? Didn’t you get deceived?”

”You don’t need to worry about who I found to retrieve it. The goods are indeed back. I personally checked them: the wild herbs your brother mentioned are indeed inside; the crates haven’t been opened, and the herbs are well-preserved and undamaged. But from now on, you can’t waver. Better a quick pain than a long one. If you don’t cut through quickly now, you’ll have more trouble in the future.”

Bai Yishan was silent for a moment, then finally nodded. The next day, she hired a lawyer to draft a document, notarizing and explaining that the million yuan Bai Guoming gave her initially was her rightful inheritance from their Bai Family parents, not private funds from her brother, and therefore does not need to be returned.

After the document was drafted, Bai Yishan went straight to the Bai Family and threw the document right in front of her brother and sister-in-law.

Bai Guoming was indeed anxious to get the herbal materials because it had been half a month since the sinking incident, and the major client had begun to doubt him, repeatedly calling to urge him, giving him a final deadline of three days. If he couldn’t deliver the goods by then, he would have to pay ten times the penalty. Such an amount was beyond what he could afford, even if it meant bankrupting himself.

But as for Bai Yishan’s claim that the herbs were in her hands, Bai Guoming didn’t believe a word. He had been running around without progress, and he thought his sister, staying in her studio every day, couldn’t possibly have a way to retrieve the goods.

Bai Guoming believed Bai Yishan was incapable of it, thinking she just said that to trick him into signing the agreement.

Not only Bai Guoming but even the Bai Family sister-in-law thought the same. Upon seeing the agreement Bai Yishan pulled out, she immediately changed her expression, throwing the agreement back at Bai Yishan’s face, cursing:

”You can just forget about that money. It was your brother’s loan to you. What inheritance? When mom and dad died, they clearly stated all the money was left to us, and it had nothing to do with you!”

Bai Yishan sneered and didn’t respond to the hysterical sister-in-law. She took out her phone, opened the photo album, and pushed it in front of Bai Guoming: ”You can tell from the photos if it’s true.”

The photos, sent by Huo Sining, were high-definition shots of the herbal crates.

Bai Guoming knew the packaging of the herbs very well, so upon seeing the photos, his face immediately changed. Seeing his wife still hurling insults, he flared up inside and pushed the Bai sister-in-law to the ground, angrily shouting, ”Shut up!”

His wife, not understanding the situation, was dumbfounded after being pushed to the ground by her husband.

Bai Guoming, however, could not be bothered with his wife’s reaction. He turned to his sister with a pleasing expression, grinning and saying: ”Yishan, you know we’re family with unbreakable bonds. There’s no need to be so hostile, is there? We were close when mom and dad were alive, weren’t we? After all, I am your brother. You say...”
