Reborn As Super Heiress-Chapter 870 - 866: Doesn’t Look Alike

Huo Sining was not hearing about Huang Chengxiang for the first time, and she also knew that before her grandmother passed away, she was the most beloved in the Huang Family.

The Huang Family is a hereditary military family, and Huang Chengxiang, being the youngest daughter with three older brothers, was naturally the most pampered.

It’s just that Huo Sining had seen photos of her father Liang Ruining, but she had never seen what Huang Chengxiang looked like. Now that she saw this photo, it evoked a strong reaction within her.

In the photo, three burly men were surrounding a slim, fair-skinned woman. The woman was wearing a light-colored floral cheongsam, her eyes were deep, her features distinct, and her face was as delicate as a porcelain doll.

The woman’s appearance was exactly the same as the woman embroidered on the screen in Huang Chengxiang’s bedroom in the old house, who was kneeling on a reef, half of her body exposed, with a sorrowful look.

Before seeing this photo, Huo Sining might not have had much of a concept of blood relations, but after seeing it, she had an indescribable feeling.

Looking at Huang Chengxiang’s photo, she felt as if she were looking at herself.

Even though they were a generation apart, their features were so similar, as if they were carved from the same mold.

"You look very much like your grandmother, and Ruining has resembled his mother since he was a child. The eyes, nose, and mouth—all are very similar." Seeing Huo Sining staring at the photo, Huang Chengxin couldn’t help but smile and say.

Huang Chengyi, not willing to be outdone, added: "It’s not just the features, isn’t there also a birthmark under Xiang’er’s neck? I remember Ruining has one too. You three generations even have the same birthmark—there’s no fear of getting lost when you’re outside."

Hearing Huang Chengyi mention the birthmark, Huo Sining’s body shivered involuntarily, and she couldn’t help but think of Uncle Tong in the old house and the stranger she bumped into in the elevator at the Hilton Hotel. If what Su Lan said was true, that the birthmark is a unique marker of the Jiaoren clan, could Uncle Tong and she be of the same kind?

Huo Sining stared at the photo for a long time and suddenly thought of a question. The Jiaoren bloodline in her body came from her father, or rather, from her grandmother, Huang Chengxiang. But if that was the case, why did only Huang Chengxiang have this strange bloodline among the four Huang siblings, while the other three brothers didn’t?

A flash of insight crossed Huo Sining’s mind, and she stared at the photo again, a faintly absurd guess forming in her mind.

"You and your brothers look very alike, but my grandmother is much prettier than you all. You don’t look like siblings at all."

Huo Sining spoke half-jokingly, but her peripheral vision was fixed on the expressions of the two elderly men.

Sure enough, as soon as Huo Sining said this, both Huang Chengyi and Huang Chengxin’s eyes flickered. They exchanged a quick glance, and Huang Chengyi coughed lightly and laughed dryly:

"We men may look a little rough, but your grandmother was pampered since she was a child, so of course her skin is fair and delicate. Girls must be cherished, and besides, our father Xiaofu looked like his mom, so we siblings naturally look different."

What he said was unintended, but the listener had intentions. If there were no issues with Huang Chengxiang’s background, Huang Chengyi would have laughed it off casually after hearing Huo Sining’s passing comment, without making so many excuses.

However, now that Huang Chengyi was eager to cover things up, Huo Sining became even more suspicious.

Huo Sining wasn’t particularly interested in the old matters of the Huang Family, but since they might be related to her father, even concerning whether he was alive and why he concealed the fact, she had to pay close attention.

Her gaze lingered between Huang Chengyi and Huang Chengxin, and she smiled:

"So that’s how it is. You must have been quite upset when you were young. My grandmother was so beautiful, and it’s a pity you didn’t inherit the good genes from our great-grandfather."

"Yes, yes," Huang Chengyi and Huang Chengxin responded absentmindedly, brushing it off casually.

Huo Sining didn’t dwell on it. She kept this in mind and then bid farewell to leave the Huang Family.

Afterwards, she visited the Lu Family and Zhou Family, delivering several double-headed abalones to Chief Lu and Zhou Shitao before heading towards Gu Xu’s home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the door of Gu Xu’s house, she heard a somewhat familiar voice from inside: "Mrs. Gu, you’re too kind. My nephew was well taken care of by your Gu Xu when he was in China. Now that he’s back, he insisted on coming to visit."

Huo Sining knocked on the door before entering the house. Mrs. Gu was sitting in the living room. Seeing Huo Sining, her eyes brightened, and she hurried forward to greet her: "Ningning, what brings you here? When did you come to the Imperial Capital?"

Huo Sining smiled and called out Aunt Gu, handing the abalone she was carrying to Mrs. Gu, and asked: "Do you have guests?"

As she spoke, Huo Sining looked toward the living room. The two people inside, hearing the commotion, also looked towards the entrance. Huo Sining was changing her shoes and happened to meet the gazes of the two sitting in the living room.

Huo Sining’s body paused for a moment before she resumed her usual demeanor. She revealed a slight smile and nodded slightly, greeting the two people in the room.

The faces of the two people in the living room changed dramatically. Huo Sining knew both of them. One was Liu Manshu, the aunt of Liang Junqi, who almost got attacked by Heitan at Chun Jing Garden during a recognition banquet. The other was Yao Xinzhu, Gu Xu’s ex-girlfriend whom she had encountered previously at Shengtang Group.

Enemies do indeed cross paths. Seeing these two, Huo Sining had only one thought.

She didn’t care much about Liu Manshu. Anyone related to the Liang Family, she didn’t want to deal with them unless they actively provoked her.

However, seeing Yao Xinzhu at the Gu Family made Huo Sining feel a bit strange.

What did this woman want? She and Gu Xu had been separated for five or six years. Does she want to get back together after seeing Gu Xu’s unusual status now?

Huo Sining couldn’t help but scoff at Yao Xinzhu’s naïve thinking and actions. It was laughable, especially since Yao Xinzhu was using such a roundabout tactic, trying to gain the Gu Family elders’ approval. Where did her inexplicable confidence come from?
