Reborn As Super Heiress

Hey, hey, hey, what on earth are you doing, big sister?

Upon seeing this, Huo Sining didn't stop to think; he rushed forward to grab Su Qingqing who was about to jump into the river.

The Su Qingqing he grabbed was far from grateful, turning her head and cursing at Huo Sining, "Who are you, and why are you grabbing me?"

Huo Sining replied helplessly, "What are you doing? Jumping in? I can't just watch you kill yourself!"

"Who asked you to be a busybody?" Seeing Huo Sining's insistence, Su Qingqing's face darkened, "I just want to go down and pick up my engagement ring!"

Pick up an engagement ring? Huo Sining was dumbfounded. What kind of joke was this? This was the Yellow River, not your home's swimming pool—you could lose your life by jumping in!

Huo Sining was simply speechless and asked, "Can you swim?"

Su Qingqing was stunned, finally realizing the problem. She glanced at the river below, her face turned red, and she awkwardly shook her head.

What kind of sheltered rich girl was this, so naive? No wonder she got so ruthlessly tormented by that white lotus just now.

"Wait here." Huo Sining couldn't help but sigh, pulled Su Qingqing down, turned around, and jumped straight into the Yellow River.

Su Qingqing's eyes widened in shock, and after a second, she finally reacted.

She rushed frantically to the railing, but the river was torrential—where was there any sign of Huo Sining?

Panic began to set in for Su Qingqing; though the engagement ring was important, it wasn't worth a life.

Her previous desire to jump had been a rash act of defiance, and it was only after Huo Sining pulled her back that she had come to her senses.

Now Huo Sining had jumped in to help her retrieve the ring, and if he lost his life because of this, wouldn't she be to blame?

Realizing the severity of the situation, Su Qingqing panicked, quickly took out her phone and dialed a number:

"Brother... WAHH, something terrible has happened, come quick and save someone!"

On the other end of the line, Su Jinyuan panicked when he heard his sister's crying and quickly asked, "What's wrong? Slow down and tell me."

"Zhou Zhen said he likes Ye Zixin and wants to break off our engagement. He even threw the engagement ring away. WAHH..."

At this point, Su Qingqing cried even harder.

"What? How dare he? I think that boy has been too comfortable lately! Sister, wait, I'll go to the Zhou Family and vent for you!"

Su Jinyuan was trembling with rage. He had always told his sister that Young Master Zhou was unreliable, but she wouldn't listen, insisting on getting engaged to Zhou Zhen.

See, now trouble has come!

Hearing his sister crying on the phone, Su Jinyuan didn't hesitate. He stood up, ready to rush out.

He was going to the Zhou Family to give Zhou Zhen a beating.

"No, brother, wait!" Su Qingqing saw that her brother was about to hang up and immediately grew anxious, "Brother, don't go to the Zhou Family yet, you've got it wrong, I'm not asking you to teach Zhou Zhen a lesson. A friend of mine fell into the Yellow River; you need to get someone here to help me quickly."

Su Jinyuan was almost faint upon hearing his sister's incoherent words, completely confused:

"Qingqing, what on earth is happening? What's the engagement with Zhou Zhen got to do with your friend falling into the Yellow River?"

Su Qingqing was extremely agitated: "It's because Zhou Zhen threw the ring into the Yellow River, my friend jumped in to help me pick it up. If you don't send someone to save him right now, it'll be too late!"

Jump into the Yellow River to retrieve a ring? Wasn't that the same as looking for a needle in a haystack? What kind of fool would do that?

Su Jinyuan was dumbfounded but also knew the matter was urgent. Without a second thought, he hung up on Su Qingqing's call and began dialing friends near The Bund.

Huo Sining, submerged in the Yellow River, had no idea that his jump would create such chaos. As he hit the water, all he could do was sigh.

Ever since she acquired the Water-Repelling Pearl, she couldn't help but feel the urge to go underwater; once she was submerged, she felt completely at ease.

Luckily, she still remembered what she came to do, yet although the pearl allowed her to see everything under the water clearly, the ring was just too inconspicuous.

After estimating where Zhou Zhen might have thrown the ring, Huo Sining conducted a thorough search in the possible area of its descent, but even after straining her eyes, she didn't spot the target.

Just as Huo Sining was about to give up, her foot struck a large rock, and suddenly she felt the Azure Pearl on her forehead flash.

Huo Sining felt puzzled but couldn't resist bending down to lift the large rock.

As the saying goes, quicker than words can tell, a river crab scurried out from beneath the stone, fleeing in a sorry state.

Huo Sining took a closer look and couldn't help but laugh. What was hanging on the river crab's extended pincer if not the diamond ring?

"I'm near the dock at The Bund, standing at..."

Su Qingqing was calling Su Jinyuan when suddenly, out of the churning waves, a head emerged.

Huo Sining calmly walked up from the water, smiling at Su Qingqing with her face full of cheer.

"Hey, Qingqing, where exactly are you? Speak clearly, I didn't catch that," pressed Su Jinyuan on the other end of the line, not having heard the rest.

But Su Qingqing, still stunned from watching Huo Sining come ashore, snapped out of it: "Brother, it's fine, my friend is okay."

Huo Sining, worried that Su Qingqing might notice something was amiss, had deliberately wet her clothes before coming ashore.

Even though it was summer, the night was still a bit chilly, especially after being soaked in cold water. As soon as she came ashore, she felt a cool breeze and goosebumps formed all over her skin.

Su Qingqing hurried over, concern flashing in her eyes: "Are you okay?"

Huo Sining shook her head and stretched out her hand to give the ring to Su Qingqing: "Here, your ring."

But Su Qingqing's eyes reddened, chocking up in anger: "Who are you anyway? Who asked you to go down and get it? Was it worth risking your life over some broken ring? You're insane!"

Huo Sining was taken aback. She had searched the water for so long to find the ring, only to receive neither thanks nor recognition, instead getting scolded for no reason.

She felt instantly annoyed, and her face darkened as she said coldly, "If you think I shouldn't have meddled, then I can throw it back down for you, so you can go and pick it up yourself!"

Seeing Huo Sining's face turn sour, Su Qingqing realized she had misspoken and hurriedly tried to explain: "I didn't mean that, you misunderstood."

"Then what did you mean?" Huo Sining was a bit angry, not one to take kindly to being treated coldly when offering help.

Su Qingqing awkwardly glanced at Huo Sining and stammered:

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to blame you just now. I saw you jump in and then you disappeared all at once, and I thought you had been swept away by the river, it scared me to death. If you didn't come up soon, I was going to call the police."

Hearing this, Huo Sining's mood improved considerably. It seemed the girl wasn't completely ungrateful. She pushed the ring into Su Qingqing's hand and turned to leave.

"Wait, where are you going?" Su Qingqing hastily called out to Huo Sining.

Huo Sining pointed to her soaked clothes and said with a smile, "Do you think it's appropriate for me to stand here like this?"

It was summer and people wore less, and Huo Sining's drenched clothes clung to her body, drawing sideways glances from many bystanders in her sorry state.

Su Qingqing immediately felt embarrassed and quickly offered: "Are you going back? Where do you live? I'll give you a ride."

With that, she took out a set of car keys and dangled them in front of Huo Sining.

Seeing the English letters on the car key, Huo Sining raised her eyebrows in slight surprise.

She hadn't expected this Su Qingqing to be wealthy.

Huo Sining looked down at the dampness on her body, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, and no longer declined the offer, nodding in agreement to Su Qingqing's suggestion.
