Reborn As Super Heiress

"Alas, what a pity, it broke again!"

"Haha, this time it’s really like thirty thousand dollars down the drain! Let’s see how that woman still boasts!"

"Just now she wouldn’t sell it for ten thousand, now even for five thousand nobody would want it!"

The crowd watching the scene all looked at Huo Sining with eyes full of either mockery or sympathy. Yet, what frustrated them was that no matter how much they provoked her, the pregnant woman remained calm and composed, as if the broken gem wasn’t hers, even more indifferent than the onlookers.

Seeing this woman’s composed demeanor, those who initially wanted to add more sarcastic remarks swallowed their words, one by one showing a furious expression.

Now you remain calm, but I’d like to see how you’ll keep your calm once this gem is entirely ruined!

To these people, thirty thousand is not a small amount. Although this money might be insignificant to the rich, if the gamble goes bust, surely this woman should feel a pinch, showing some distress!

Over there, the man with the surname Lai was also surprised by Huo Sining’s reaction.

He had originally worried that the woman might not be able to handle the shock of losing the gamble, which could cause a detrimental impact on her physical condition, potentially leading to complications.

Therefore, he stood close by while Master Li was working, worried that the pregnant woman might get agitated and experience some complications.

However, now he realized that this woman’s psychological resilience was really strong, much stronger than he had anticipated.

Of course, the man surnamed Lai did not lower his guard because of this; like the other onlookers, he did not believe the woman would be indifferent to losing thirty thousand dollars.

After the gem broke again, Master Li’s hands trembled. He looked up cautiously at Huo Sining:

"Ma’am, do you want me to continue solving?"

Huo Sining tilted her head, glanced at the man surnamed Lai, and then chuckled: "Proceed, why not?"

Master Li took a deep breath, smiled wryly, and picked up the gem again to push it back inside.

Just at that moment, Huo Sining suddenly called out: "Wait!"

Master Li immediately halted his actions, turned his head in surprise to look at Huo Sining: "Ma’am, what’s the matter?"

Huo Sining smiled, pretending to ponder:

"This way is too troublesome. Master Li, please stop for a moment. Let me draw a line on the gem, and then you can cut along my line directly!"

What?! The woman wants to draw a line herself? The crowd exchanged puzzled looks, unsure of the scenario.

"Looks like she can’t stay calm anymore and intends to get hands-on. I told you, she couldn’t always be this composed. See, she’s acting now!"

"Haha, definitely! Just now, the gem solver cut the piece too big, and her heart must be bleeding internally. But for the sake of face, she’s holding it together, might have been unhappy long ago!"

"Surely it is, otherwise she wouldn’t suddenly propose to draw the line herself, definitely dissatisfied with how the master solved the gem!"

The onlookers speculated about Huo Sining’s thoughts, excited as if they saw through something.

Across the way, Lai’s face drastically changed.

No one knew better than he did about the trickery inside this gem. If Master Li cut, there would be no problem, but he never expected the woman to pull such a stunt herself, wanting to draw the line.

If Master Li followed the woman’s line to cut, the glue lines inside the gem would surely be revealed, and the deceit about the gem would be exposed.

Lai’s heart was in a hurry. He made urgent gestures to Master Li on the side, clearly wanting him to reject Huo Sining’s request.

Unfortunately, Master Li didn’t look at him at this moment because the request had bewildered him too.

Soon, a flash of delight appeared in Master Li’s eyes.

He couldn’t hold it anymore. When he joined the store, he thought it was a legitimate place but found out that Lai was a fraud, refusing to take the rightful path, preferring tricks. A master with decades of experience, he could easily notice the issues within these gems.

Working here all this time, Master Li endured moral condemnation. Today, seeing that Lai cheated a pregnant woman with a hefty sum of thirty thousand, he truly couldn’t endure anymore.

This is too much, it’s a pregnant lady, and yet he did this!

Now that Master Li heard Huo Sining wanted to draw the line herself, he actually felt quite refreshed, even snickering secretly, thinking, Lai, I want to see how you’ll handle this situation!

Master Li felt a sense of revenge as he placed the gem at Huo Sining’s feet, found a piece of chalk for her, and signaled her to draw on the gem.

Seeing this, Lai was fuming.

But as the boss, he couldn’t possibly stop Huo Sining from drawing the line. Bringing it up might alert the woman and reveal that something was wrong with the gem, which would be disastrous.

Therefore, Lai could only pray inwardly, hoping the woman would be unlucky when drawing, avoiding those glue lines at all costs.

Whether or not his prayers were heard by the heavens, after Huo Sining finished drawing the lines, when Lai looked down, he felt a gush of joy!

Yes, this pregnant woman was incredibly foolish, drawing lines in such a way that miraculously avoided the glue lines as if she precisely knew the gem’s internal condition and did it deliberately.

Of course, Lai didn’t believe the woman knew the gem was reassembled, or she wouldn’t have bought it for thirty thousand. So Lai felt this was merely a coincidence, destiny even, and it seemed even the heavens favored him.

This luck could not be stopped; it truly looked like fortune was smiling upon him!

Lai couldn’t contain his glee, he was all smiles, almost jumping up when he saw Huo Sining put the chalk back. He quickly shouted to Master Li:

"What are you waiting for, hurry up and solve the gem for the lady!"
