Reborn As Super Heiress

The reason he speculated this way was not without grounds.

Guan Yu Beauty Shop sold high-end jadeite jewelry, targeting the upscale market, so naturally, the products were extremely expensive.

When he opened this gamble stone shop on this street, he had already familiarized himself with all the jadeite shops on the street.

There were nearly ten jadeite shops on the entire street, but the most powerful one had to be the Guan Yu Beauty Shop.

Although it was a newly risen nouveau riche, the jadeite in that shop was indeed of superior quality, no wonder the shop’s orders were continuous.

Now, the shop assistant from Guan Yu Beauty Shop accompanied this pregnant woman to his shop, so naturally, the man first thought was that Huo Sining was very likely a high-class customer of Guan Yu Beauty Shop, which is why the shop assistant was so cautiously accompanying her.

Moreover, the man also noticed that when those people picking rough stones were mocking the pregnant woman, the woman beside her clenched her fist as if she wanted to hit someone, but as soon as the pregnant woman scolded, the woman immediately withdrew her fist.

It seemed that the spirited woman was the pregnant woman’s bodyguard.

The man, with sharp eyes, noticed that the female bodyguard was wearing a Swiss watch on her wrist, even if it was not clear what model it was but just looking at the appearance of the watch, he knew it wasn’t cheap and would cost at least hundreds of thousands.

If even a bodyguard was so wealthy, could this woman be poor? The man didn’t think so, so the look in his eyes towards Huo Sining was shining, clearly regarding her as a walking money bag.

The man didn’t believe that Huo Sining was any gambling expert in stone. He had spent so much time in this circle and hadn’t met many women who could gamble on stones, so he took it for granted that Huo Sining was the kind of woman who was vain and liked to flaunt her wealth.

Seeing that Huo Sining was young and already pregnant, and with a female bodyguard by her side, such a woman was either a daughter of a hereditary family or a mistress kept by a rich man, but the impression both kinds of people gave him was only one, which is idiocy.

Big-chested and brainless, especially pregnant women were easier to deceive, the man mused secretly, she was a wealthy noblewoman, he just needed to coax her slightly, and she would definitely obediently fork over the money,

Thinking of this, the man’s gaze towards Huo Sining became even more fervent as he eagerly asked:

"My surname is Lai, I am the owner of this shop. Madam just said these rough stones are not to your liking, hoping to see better rough stones, is that true?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Sining couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. She was just worried about not finding the real owner of this shop.

When she first entered this shop, she didn’t see this man named Lai, and Huo Sining was worried that if she were to cause any trouble, this Lai might drop everything and run, and she wouldn’t be able to find him. Unexpectedly, the man boldly jumped out on his own.

Very well, Huo Sining thought to herself, this saved her a lot of effort.

Thinking this way, Huo Sining couldn’t help but curve her lips, showing a slight smile: "Of course it’s true, so, Boss Lai, do you have better materials in your shop?"

Seeing that Huo Sining indeed took the bait, the man named Lai was immediately overjoyed, and the smile on his face naturally grew even brighter:

"Naturally, to be honest, what you see displayed in this shop is actually just a small portion of my warehouse inventory. The really good stuff is hidden in my backyard. I’ve been storing those goods, just waiting for knowledgeable buyers like you to come see them."

In Lai’s remarks, he was flattering Huo Sining, subtly implying that she was a gambling expert on stone.

If a normal person heard such words, they might be flattered and ecstatic, perhaps even floating as if they really considered themselves somebody special.

But Huo Sining just smiled lightly and casually asked, "Is that so?"

When it comes to being knowledgeable, inside and outside the shop, the most knowledgeable person was probably her, Huo Sining, so this man wasn’t entirely wrong.

Moreover, Huo Sining was not stupid and naturally could see that the man was flattering her with the intent to lure her into the backyard and then rip her off.

Originally, Huo Sining could just leave outright, but after thinking about it, she was actually intrigued, wondering how far the man’s deceit could go.

She had nothing to do anyway, going back would be boring, so she might as well play along with this con artist.

The man named Lai was eager to please Huo Sining, but the others in the shop picking rough stones were immediately displeased upon hearing this:

"Boss Lai, what do you mean by this? Are we just some ignorant riffraff that you’re looking down on?"

Boss Lai was startled, realizing that he might have ignored one thing while attending to another, hurriedly chuckled and explained:

"No, gentlemen, you misunderstand, I’m not saying you don’t know goods, it’s just that my materials are indeed better than what’s here in the shop, so naturally the prices are higher. If you gentlemen would like to take a look, you’re certainly welcome to, but let me be frank, betting on stones inherently has price variance, as long as you don’t think I, surnamed Lai, am unethical and deliberately inflating prices to cheat you!"

Upon hearing this, those picking rough stones felt unsure, exchanging glances, unable to decide.

They came to gamble on rough stones, but they weren’t from any wealthy families, a few thousand bucks they could afford, but if the price went higher, they would have to think it over.

However, thinking that good jadeite must come from good rough stones, they couldn’t help but feel tempted.

"Brother Chong, what’s there to hesitate, let’s go in and at least feast our eyes and see what these so-called good rough stones look like!"

"Exactly, if we really manage to crack open high-grade jadeite, we’d score big, how can we worry about such a little cost?"

"Right, if the rough stones are average and the price is outrageous, we can simply not buy them, don’t you think?"

"Yeah, let’s go in and take a look first!"

After discussing for a while, those checking the rough stones decided to go to this Lai’s warehouse to take a look, after all, the materials in the shop were picked over, and the chances of a profitable gamble were less, of course, they felt it was better to pick rough stones from the warehouse.

The man named Lai knew well that those picking rough stones were a bunch of poor guys, few of whom could afford the price, and if it was just these people entering, he wouldn’t be willing to open the courtyard door, so he instinctively looked at Huo Sining beside him.

"Madam, what do you think..."
