Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1631: Chapter 1615: Negotiation

The English love romance, and Adrian, from the bottom of his heart, admires and respects Huo Sining, this Eastern lady’s ability and talent. Not only is this woman strong in treasure appraisal, but she also became the number one in WGC World Gambling Competition, which proves she’s definitely beyond ordinary people.

Precisely because of this, the scene where Huo Sining rejected Windsor Caesar and chose Gu Xu at WGC that day was seen by many Europeans and Americans, and has been talked about ever since. Some entertainment gossip magazines even occasionally bring it up, and many gossip-loving folks love to read about it.

Adrian’s words were not meant to mock Huo Sining; he genuinely believes that Gu Xu’s proposal in such a special way at such an occasion was truly romantic.

Adrian’s words sounded awkward to Huo Sining but were indeed a compliment to Gu Xu.

Immediately, Gu Xu’s impression of the English Earl was elevated greatly. With a smile on his face, he stepped forward and extended his hand to this old gentleman:

”Hello, Mr. Adrian. My name is Gu Xu, and currently, I am Miss Huo’s husband.”

Upon hearing Gu Xu’s words, Adrian was stunned but quickly reacted. While extending his hand to shake Gu Xu’s, he couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up:

”Hey, buddy, how long has it been since the proposal, and you’ve already won Miss Huo? You indeed have great tactics, impressive! No wonder Windsor Caesar lost to you; he was just too reserved, not at all like a royal family member, dragging things out hesitantly. No wonder at such an old age, no woman likes him.”

While praising Gu Xu, Adrian didn’t forget to tease Windsor Caesar.

But judging from Adrian’s tone, his relationship with the Windsor family should be quite good. Otherwise, this old gentleman wouldn’t talk about Windsor Caesar in front of them like this.

Huo Sining remembered that Windsor Caesar and his father seemed to be indeed members of the English royal family. Adrian being an Earl appointed by the royal family, the close relationship between the two families is indeed unsurprising.

After some pleasantries, they finally got to the main topic. Huo Sining pulled out the four coins she salvaged in the Dover Sea Area from her backpack.

As soon as the gold coins appeared, Adrian excitedly grabbed them, examining them carefully. He even pulled out a magnifying glass to closely inspect and compare, and it took him more than ten minutes before he finally stopped.

Although this old man tried hard to control his emotions, the shock in his eyes was undeniable.

Huo Sining had always suspected there was more to these gold coins, but she refrained from asking rashly. After all, buying antiques depends on one’s eye, and not understanding European artifacts meant she was completely in the dark in this area. Besides, Adrian, though a gentleman, wasn’t a fool. Even if there was something hidden, he certainly wouldn’t directly answer her questions, so Huo Sining didn’t ask.

Her current aim was mainly for the artifacts in Adrian’s collection. Whatever the origin and secrets behind these gold coins, Huo Sining wasn’t concerned and couldn’t possibly find any useful clues.

Thus, rather than dwelling on this, it was better to use these gold coins to exchange for more meaningful and valuable Huaxia antiques.

After looking at the coins, the tug-of-war began.

Adrian led Huo Sining into his private collection, while Huo Sining, eager to take it all, wished she could haul everything away from this Englishman’s home, much to Adrian’s awkwardness.

”Miss Huo, you should know that you only brought me merely four gold coins. These four gold coins aren’t enough to swap for so many Huaxia antiques, right?” Adrian’s eyes revealed a touch of helplessness.

”No, no, no, Mr. Adrian, I suspect you might have other coins in your possession. If I’m not mistaken, the Spanish Royal Coin worth thirty thousand US dollars auctioned by American Heritage Auction six or seven years ago should be in your hands, right?”

While looking for what she wanted, Huo Sining raised her head and gave Adrian a knowing glance.

Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, Adrian’s previously cheerful face suddenly changed, his eyes sharpened, full of vigilance towards Huo Sining.

However, Huo Sining wasn’t intimidated by Adrian’s gaze. She continued smiling, saying, ”Let me guess, what is your purpose in collecting these coins? I think there’s a possibility that these coins might hide a secret, otherwise, Mr. Earl, you wouldn’t go to such great lengths to collect these custom-made coins that can’t even circulate, right?”

Adrian originally tried to maintain his composure, but upon hearing Huo Sining’s words, his face could no longer hold: ”You...”

Seeing Adrian’s face change dramatically, Huo Sining knew she guessed right.

But here for business negotiations, she didn’t want to push him too hard and upset this old Earl, so she quickly waved her hand, displaying a spring breeze-like smile, saying:

”No need to worry, I’m not interested in the secret. I said I would transfer these four gold coins to you, and I won’t go back on my word. However, I know these four coins are certainly very important to you. So, Mr. Earl, shouldn’t you also show some sincerity?”

After repeatedly confirming that Huo Sining genuinely wasn’t interested in the secret, Adrian’s tense nerves finally relaxed, and his face once again showed a smile. With a touch of resignation, he said:

”I’ve long heard Huaxia people are born diplomats. Years ago, I heard about Huaxia diplomats and even read about your country’s prime minister’s confrontation with Lady Thatcher. Now it seems even Miss Huo is undoubtedly a master, remarkable indeed!”

Huo Sining smiled, saying: ”You flatter me. Though diplomatic language, my negotiation with you is open and straightforward, merely weighing our respective interests. If Mr. Adrian finds this deal unworthy, we can terminate it at any time.”

Adrian was stopped in his tracks by Huo Sining’s impenetrable stance, yet he couldn’t act tough since she had seen through his intentions. Indeed, those coins hid secrets, and he couldn’t possibly utter ”give up” outright.

After a round of bargaining with back-and-forth advances and retreats, the old Earl finally chose to compromise and stepped back.
