Reborn As Super Heiress

Master Li was so angry at the shameless remarks of this man named Lai that he couldn’t utter a word.

The man named Lai also saw that this Master Li was a thorn and didn’t want to waste words with him, so he just waved his hand and said:

”Alright, you just leave. My temple here is too small to accommodate a big Buddha like you!”

Master Li’s face turned red with anger, his eyes almost spitting fire:

”You fired me without any reason. You have to pay compensation and my wages. Do you want to renege on that?”

The man named Lai sneered: ”I haven’t even accused you of ruining my business yet, and you still want wages and compensation? Do you even know where you are? Kid, you think I would be afraid of you?”

As he spoke, two of his guys came over, rolling up their sleeves and glaring menacingly at Master Li.

Master Li’s expression suddenly froze. It was only then that he remembered this Lai had a background in the underworld, and the two men next to him were his long-time right-hand men, skilled in fighting. He was no match for them.

Upon realizing this, Master Li knew he was outnumbered and dared not continue causing trouble, so he had to swallow his pride and leave the shop dejectedly.

”Hmph, trying to go against me, kid, you’re still too green!”

The man named Lai sneered, spitting in the direction of Master Li’s back!

Master Li’s steps paused for a moment, then he quickly walked away.

Once out of sight of the shop, Master Li found an alley where he could sit down and pulled out a piece of stiff paper from his pocket.

Upon seeing it, Master Li was shocked.

Earlier, when he accepted the money handed over by that pregnant woman, he felt this piece of stiff paper and found something amiss.

But at that time, Lai was watching closely, and he didn’t dare to reveal anything. Now, taking it out, his heart surged with a thousand waves.

It was a gold-stamped business card, with no embellishments, just seven words on it — four large characters ”Jade Beauty,” and below a woman’s name, Huo Sining.

On the back of the card was a phone number and an address — precisely the address of the Wangfujing Guanyu Beauties Store.

In fact, seeing that name, Master Li was a bit stunned.

Although he wasn’t part of the stone gambling circle, as a master with over a decade of stone-cracking experience, he was somewhat aware of big news and major movements in the stone gambling circle.

Therefore, he had heard of the name Huo Sining.

In recent years, a Jade Queen had risen to fame in Huaxia for participating in several stone gambling public sales, and this woman’s skills were formidable; she had once revealed a Jade Heaven Bead from waste material and cut imperial green from granite. Such achievements were not even something the old Gambling King, Liu Chongren, could claim.

Moreover, this woman had twice bet against the old Gambling King, Liu Chongren, and won, earning her the title of Jade Queen.

This title was well-deserved.

It was precisely because of this title that the name Huo Sining became famous in the gambling stone circle in Huaxia. Anyone who had come into contact with stone gambling knew this new star of the gambling world.

Master Li was no exception; he admired and respected the Jade Queen greatly, but he never imagined that one day he would come into contact with such a high-profile woman, and even cracked a stone for her.

Staring at the card, Master Li felt a little confused, unable to fathom what was truly happening.

Could it be that the pregnant woman was indeed Jade Queen Huo Sining? But that couldn’t be right. If that woman were the Jade Queen, she would have known that the rough stone Lai sold her was a reconstructed fake. Why would she pay three hundred thousand to buy it?

Master Li had many doubts, but with no job now and nothing to do, the pregnant woman must have a purpose in giving him this card. Since he was free, he might as well visit the Guanyu Beauty Shop.

Master Li had been in this street for more than half a month, and naturally, he had heard about Guanyu Beauty.

It was said that this shop specialized in high-end Jadeite jewelry, headquartered in the Magic Capital. It started as a workshop but grew rapidly over the years, becoming a big company with annual sales exceeding a hundred million.

Although Master Li had heard of such a shop, he had never visited before. But now that someone had given him this card, he was certainly going to take a look.

Following the address on the card, he walked along the street and soon found himself in front of the Guanyu Beauty Shop.

Standing outside, just looking at the shop’s decor, Master Li felt a bit intimidated, lingering for several minutes at the entrance, unable to muster the courage to enter.

Just as Master Li hesitated over whether to go in or not, the door of the shop suddenly opened from the inside. A woman in store uniform looked at him with a friendly smile and asked:

”Hello, is there anything I can help you with?”

Master Li paused, contemplating whether to ask if Huo Sining was present, when he heard someone inside the shop speak:

”Wen Ya, let him in, he’s here for me!”

Master Li looked inside the shop and indeed saw the same pregnant woman who had asked him to crack the stone in the alley, now sitting on a sofa, holding a teacup, and smiling at him.

Following the woman in the uniform into the shop, the pregnant woman smiled and gestured: ”Please have a seat, Master Li. Wen Ya, make Master Li a cup of tea.”

Upon hearing this, Master Li felt somewhat embarrassed: ”No need, no need, I... I’m just here to take a look, don’t trouble yourself.”

Huo Sining smiled: ”It’s no trouble at all, Wen Ya, please make the best West Lake Dragon Well Tea I brought.”

Master Li sat somewhat uneasily, his expression towards Huo Sining appearing hesitant as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Huo Sining, having guessed what Master Li wanted to ask, introduced herself straightforwardly:

”I haven’t introduced myself yet, Master Li. Hello, I am the owner of this shop, and my name is Huo Sining.”

Although he had guessed earlier, hearing Huo Sining’s confirmation of her identity surprised Master Li, especially seeing Huo Sining with her pregnant belly. Such a scene had never crossed Master Li’s mind before.

His face turned red, never thinking that he would one day be in such close proximity to this legendary stone gambling expert, even sharing tea face-to-face.
