Reborn As Super Heiress

Capítulo 1782: Chapter 1684: No Good Outcome

Huo Sining let out a light laugh, lifted her head, and looked at the middle-aged man with a half-smile: “Sir, did I not make myself clear just now? I don’t charge a single penny for saving people!”

This time, the middle-aged man’s face turned completely grim as he looked coldly at Huo Sining and said, “Do you know who you are talking to?”

Huo Sining completely ignored the two people in front of her and continued to stop the bleeding of the injured person beside her. She didn’t pay the slightest attention to the words of the middle-aged man.

This time, the young woman finally lost her patience and angrily said, “Second uncle, why are you wasting words with her? People like her just want money, grandpa’s injury can’t wait, let’s move him over first and stop his bleeding!”

With that, the woman took out a check from her bag, wrote down a number, and tossed it right in front of Huo Sining with a cold and disdainful look, saying to her:

“Half a million, enough for someone like you to buy a hundred-square-meter house in Meishan. Is that enough? People like you probably have never seen this much money in your entire life, have you?”

This time, Huo Sining also got somewhat angry. She lifted her head, her eyes cold, and said to the woman: “All beings are equal, does this lady think that being rich makes one noble, and being poor makes one worthless?”

The woman lifted her chin, her nostrils flaring upwards, and scoffed at Huo Sining: “Isn’t that the case? If you had the ability to produce a million, why would you be doing this filthy, impoverished work here? All beings equal, that’s just something you impoverished folks tell yourselves to comfort your own minds. People have been divided by nobility and baseness in Huaxia for thousands of years; only fools believe in equality for all!”

Huo Sining didn’t agree with the woman’s argument, but she knew that there were many such people in society, and she couldn’t correct their worldview. However, she could choose to ignore them.

So, Huo Sining shook her head with a smile and said: “In that case, Miss, go find a higher-class noble to save your grandpa. I am born lowly; I’m afraid I can’t accept the reward you offer. I simply won’t save your grandpa today!”

Huo Sining’s words made the two of them change their colors simultaneously, especially the woman, who became furious after being directly refused by Huo Sining, and sharply questioned:

“Do you know who we are? My grandpa is the Meishan Municipal Committee member, and my second uncle is the Chief of the Justice Bureau. You dare talk to us this way? I’m telling you, you’ll suffer for it!”

Upon hearing this, Huo Sining nodded slightly. No wonder this woman speaks so confidently, turning out to be an official’s offspring. But so what, even if it is the Meishan Municipal Committee, Huo Sining will not save someone just because she was told to, nor will anyone be able to force her into saving a life.

Huo Sining smiled in response: “Oh.”

Then, she continued to lower her head to treat the wounded person, completely unconcerned with these two people.

The middle-aged man initially thought that after hearing his niece reveal their identities, this woman would immediately follow them in fear, but unexpectedly, the woman showed no reaction at all, as if she didn’t care about titles like Municipal Committee member and Chief of Justice Bureau in the least.

This made the middle-aged man feel puzzled, and he began to sense that something was off, almost instinctively frowning.

The young woman also perceived Huo Sining’s indifference. Her pride almost immediately turned into annoyance, her temper flaring up inside.

Dammit, even after she revealed her identity, this woman didn’t come fawning over, but instead held her ground. Does she see them as beneath her?

“Ignorance can be forgiven. I won’t bother with your offensive words now that you didn’t know our identities before. But now that you know who we are, follow us. I advise you to take the goodwill offered and not make us force you. Giving you such a considerable reward is already a huge favor to you!”

The woman spoke with her chin raised, her voice dripping with arrogance. In her view, having her second uncle, a Chief of the Justice Bureau, personally invite an ordinary person to treat her grandfather was already a huge gesture, and anyone with a bit of sense would not refuse.

However, what the woman didn’t expect was that her words still didn’t move Huo Sining in the slightest.

Huo Sining lifted her head and looked at the woman with an inexplicable smile, calmly saying: “I told you, I won’t save your grandpa!”

At that moment, silence fell all around.

The woman’s arrogant smile froze on her face, anger surging up, almost causing her to erupt on the spot.

Many disaster victims around them were observing the situation unfold. Upon knowing from the woman’s mouth that her grandfather and second uncle were high-ranking officials, they immediately sensed that things could go sour. This woman in protective gear was too arrogant, not even giving face to the Meishan Municipal Committee; if those two bore a grudge, she would be in big trouble.

Quite a few people shook their heads silently, casting sympathetic looks at Huo Sining. Even the few kids nearby seemed hesitant to speak, apparently trying to persuade her.

But Huo Sining remained unmoved, continuing to do what she was doing, her movements neither hurried nor slow but efficient. During the argument with these two uninvited guests, she had already removed several wooden splinters from the injured person in front of her.

Looking up to see the two still standing in front of her, Huo Sining directly said to Xiao Fan, who was standing beside them:

“Instead of making a fuss here, why not contact the rescue team? With the time you wasted here, the old man you mentioned could have bled to death. For the Municipal Committee to have heartless grandchildren like you two, I really wonder what kind of curse they had in their past life!”

Huo Sining spoke quietly but managed to infuriate everyone.

This time, even the middle-aged man turned livid with anger, glaring at Huo Sining with a sinister glare, he spoke coldly:

“Miss, it’s okay to be young and reckless, but your parents should have taught you a saying: ‘He who knows the times is a great man.’ I’m not afraid to tell you; you’re now on my, Zhao Si’s, turf, and if you offend me, you’ll have no good fruit to eat!”

Hearing this, Huo Sining couldn’t help but find it amusing. Ever since she started attending S University, no one had ever spoken to her in such a manner. Seeing Zhao Si looking at her as if she were already a dead person, Huo Sining just found it hilarious and couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

She tilted her head thoughtfully for a moment, then smiled and said, “Well, I’m curious to see what rotten fruit you’ll serve me, Mr. Zhao Si; I’ll be waiting!”
