Reborn As Super Heiress-Chapter 892 - 888 This Man, He’s Mine!
Chapter 892: Chapter 888 This Man, He’s Mine!
"Miss Yao, it’s not quite decent of you to speculate and criticize others behind their backs like this!"
As soon as Huo Sining entered the company, the secretary informed her that Gu Xu was in the reception room. She had only just reached the door when she heard Yao Xinzhu’s sharp remarks. Her eyes darkened immediately, and she pushed the door open without hesitation.
"I, Huo Sining, stand upright and speak truthfully. I have never uttered words against my conscience. My attraction to Gu Xu is certainly not for his family background and status. The feelings that Miss Yao dismisses so easily are, to me, Huo Sining, treasured and valued."
Huo Sining looked at Yao Xinzhu indifferently, not taking her deliberately provocative words to heart.
However, while Huo Sining was dismissive, Yao Xinzhu was not so easy to deal with. She already knew she had no chance with Gu Xu, and naturally didn’t want to see another woman clinging to him. So, upon hearing Huo Sining’s explanation, she sneered coldly:
"It’s easy to say such things. I’ve heard that you’re an orphan, freeloading on others, just a penniless and powerless country bumpkin. Why are you trying to make yourself seem more important? Do you really think everyone is so easily deceived? We’re both women; I know exactly what’s on your mind!"
Huo Sining found Yao Xinzhu’s words somewhat hysterical and rather laughable: "We’re both women, but as for what’s on Miss Yao’s mind, I really have no idea."
"Miss Yao seems to have heard a lot of gossip, but perhaps your information isn’t timely enough. You only know that I’m an orphan without a father or mother, but you don’t know that I’m also a wealthy heiress."
"I don’t like flaunting my identity, but if Miss Yao insists on arguing about it, I won’t hide it."
"Since Miss Yao is a distant relative of Mrs. An, you should know the Huang Family, right? Well, I’m an officially recorded seventeenth-generation heir in the Huang Family genealogy. I have a mentor named Zhou Shitao and a god-grandfather named Lu ZhenHua!"
Huo Sining doesn’t like using others to elevate herself, but in such a situation, facing a potential threat to her position like this ex, she doesn’t mind leveraging her connections once.
While Yao Xinzhu didn’t recognize Zhou Shitao, almost nobody in the country wouldn’t recognize Lu ZhenHua.
Sure enough, upon hearing the name of Chief Lu, Yao Xinzhu’s face turned a few shades whiter. She looked up at Huo Sining in disbelief, seemingly trying to find traces of deceit on her face.
However, Huo Sining’s face was calm and composed, her eyes clear, without a hint of guilt.
"If Miss Yao doesn’t know who these three families are, you can feel free to ask Mrs. An. I imagine Mrs. An would be more than willing to tell you everything!"
Guessing what might be on Yao Xinzhu’s mind, Huo Sining smirked sarcastically,
"Miss Yao, do you really think that with so many prestigious families backing me, I would still care whether my man has power or status? Miss Yao, don’t project your own thoughts onto others. There is plenty of pure affection in the world; it’s just that you don’t want it. You discard it like it’s worthless, yet can’t bear to see others possess it. What kind of mindset is that?"
Yao Xinzhu froze; she always thought that Huo Sining was just a Cinderella who climbed high, but she didn’t expect this woman to have so many identities.
But the words had been spoken, and it was too late to regret them now. She realized she had thoroughly offended Huo Sining this time. Thinking about what she just said, that Chief Lu was her grandfather, made Yao Xinzhu tremble, yet she still stood rigidly without bowing her head, glaring at Huo Sining with eyes full of resentful jealousy.
"Having the identity of a chief’s heiress brings you a lot of pride, doesn’t it? But so what? Take away those identities, and what are you still worth? I, even without those identities, can still live gloriously on my own abilities. As for just a man, he was someone I abandoned and didn’t want back then. Since you like him so much, I’ll let him go to you!"
Even now, this woman still wanted to be glib, and Huo Sining was somewhat impressed.
"Miss Yao, you contradict yourself, slapping your own face here. One moment you look down on me for being a powerless orphan, and the next you act as if status and power mean nothing to you. So do you really want the status of prestigious families, or do you look down on those with high positions and connections?"
Huo Sining teased with a mocking tone, her eyes seemed to see right through Yao Xinzhu’s thoughts.
Yao Xinzhu’s face turned from green to pale, biting her lip and glaring viciously at Huo Sining.
"Also, there’s something you said wrong, Miss Yao. In this battle, I am the ultimate victor. I can have this man completely, while you got nothing. This man wasn’t something you gave to me; he’s someone I fought for myself! You, are not even qualified to be compared with me!"
Huo Sining didn’t want to entangle with such a person, but she really didn’t appreciate the words that came out of her mouth.
Gu Xu, who had been silent since Huo Sining entered, just kept his eyes on his wife, especially seeing her firmly defending her territory and rights, fiercely retorting against Yao Xinzhu. Gu Xu felt a sweet yet sour emotion surge within him.
He always felt there was a distant feeling between him and Huo Sining, which made him anxious and unsettled, insecure, and full of gain and loss. Until now, when Huo Sining declared her sovereignty in front of Yao Xinzhu, Gu Xu finally felt grounded.
The words still echoed in his ears: This man wasn’t something you gave to me; he’s someone I fought for myself.
At this moment, Gu Xu saw nothing else; his mind and eyes were full of the fairy-like girl in front of him. His gaze was fixed on Huo Sining, and the love and affection in his eyes seemed about to overflow. If it weren’t for the unsuitable setting, he definitely would have rushed up to embrace and kiss this adorable woman fiercely.
Seeing Yao Xinzhu’s ashamed and enraged face, her gaze as venomous as if dipped in poison, Huo Sining didn’t intend to show any courtesy. She didn’t know what Yao Xinzhu was thinking, nor did she care, but with this woman daring to brazenly bully her at her door, if she didn’t fight back, she wouldn’t be called Huo Sining!
Since this woman was so stubborn, she’d oblige her.
"Bruce Lee, why are you still standing outside? Hurry up and come in. If we’re here to discuss cooperation, let’s get it done quickly! Xiagnai is not Samra, and a project should not drag on with inefficiency!"
