Reborn As Super Heiress-Chapter 1691 - 1685: Eavesdropping Again

Regarding the warm interaction between the Zheng Family Father and Daughter, Huo Sining watched from the sidelines with quite a bit of envy.

In her childhood, she was often scolded as a wild child and was always the one excluded at her uncle’s house. When she saw classmates being picked up by their fathers or accompanied on trips during weekends, she always felt immense envy.

Since she was young, what Huo Sining most hoped for was to have a true family of her own, with the companionship of parents and interaction with relatives. Just thinking about this scenario made her feel an indescribable warmth.

Yet, what many people might consider a trivial matter was an extravagant longing for Huo Sining.

Even though she now knows that Mr. Liang is still alive, and even her grandmother is still around, getting the family together remains indefinitely out of reach.

Perhaps sensing the emotions in Huo Sining’s gaze, Gu Xu reached out discreetly and gently held his wife’s hand, bringing an inexplicable warmth and strength with his soft rubs.

Huo Sining paused and couldn’t help but look up.

Gu Xu looked at her with a resolute gaze, as if saying, "Everything in the past is over, you have me now for the future."

Huo Sining stared at him for a few moments, smiled softly, and suddenly felt relieved.

People always need to look forward; now she has a husband, a new family, and in the future her own child. There’s no reason for regret.

The film festival awards ceremony began. Since Huo Sining and her group were not part of the film industry, they couldn’t fully grasp the joy and sorrow within this grand event. They were here to see celebrities.

This is an international event, naturally filled with stars and great figures, and compared to the small domestic celebrities, these big names have an aura that’s immensely stronger.

Huo Sining wasn’t very familiar with many celebrities, but spotting one or two names she could call out excited her for a long time, making her chat non-stop with Gu Xu.

Gu Xu rarely saw Huo Sining in such a lively and girlish manner, instead of feeling annoyed, he found it fresh and accompanied Huo Sining on her antics with interest.

Halfway through the awards ceremony, Huo Sining suddenly felt some discomfort in her stomach, it seemed her period had arrived.

Her face stiffened, looking a bit unsettled, she glanced at Gu Xu, feeling embarrassed to mention her "relative" had come, so she just said she needed to go to the restroom.

Gu Xu, suspecting nothing, asked if she needed company. Huo Sining hurriedly stopped Gu Xu from getting up, bent over, and headed to the restroom.

Fortunately, her storage ring was always stocked with everyday items, so even in this crucial moment, she could handle it smoothly without panic. Huo Sining rushed to the restroom, quickly dealing with the situation, and replaced her sanitary pad.

Once finished, she was about to push open the door and exit the stall when she heard two people walk in outside, and one of them asked, "Is everything taken care of?"

Although the voice only had a few words, Huo Sining’s keen ears immediately recognized it as Li Youyou, who had had a conflict with Zheng Lixiang during seating.

This Li Youyou acts in television dramas, but she doesn’t have any notable work in films. This time at the Venice Film Festival, she’s just here to walk the red carpet, so when entering, Zheng Lixiang mocked her by saying Li Youyou was hoping to win Best Actress at Venice, clearly ridiculing her overestimating herself.

Huo Sining didn’t have a great impression of Li Youyou, but not to the point of outright hostility. Listening to the phrase "Is everything taken care of," Huo Sining instinctively felt something was wrong, her grip on the door handle subconsciously relaxing.

The other person replied, "Rest assured, it’s all taken care of. They’ll definitely have a memorable Venetian night, a lifelong memory!"

Li Youyou chuckled coquettishly, pleased, "Good, isn’t that Zheng accusing me of poor acting? I’ll make her realize how disgraceful the actor she chose is. To stage a scandal at the Venice Film Festival, I’ll see if Zheng still has the face to return home!"

Her companion, hearing Li Youyou, shivered inwardly and hesitated, "Sister Youyou, isn’t this too harsh? Their movie reportedly cost quite a lot, if a scandal breaks out, it might not win an award, and might not even get screened domestically, perhaps even face audience boycotts..."

Li Youyou’s expression turned cold, laughing coldly, "Wouldn’t it be better if it’s boycotted? If it gets disrupted, it’ll ruin that Zheng, and show that bitch I’m not easy to bully! Whatever I, Li Youyou, can’t obtain, I’d rather destroy it than let others have it cheaply!"

Huo Sining didn’t like eavesdropping, she felt impulsively tempted to walk out openly, but after hearing Li Youyou’s conversation with the other person, her heart was shocked.

If her judgment was correct, this Zheng Li Youyou spoke of undoubtedly referred to Zheng Lixiang.

Li Youyou didn’t know what she had found or what methods she employed behind the scenes, planning to stir trouble during the Venice Film Festival to ruin Zheng Lixiang.

It was just a refusal to give her a role, which wouldn’t count as a deep-seated hatred, yet Li Youyou was so obsessive and crazy, scheming such vile means at an international event.

Such a person, Huo Sining was at a loss on how to describe or judge, and at this moment, she felt quite unsettled, mostly concerned for Zheng Lixiang.

But Huo Sining didn’t know what tricks these two were playing, and if she ran out to warn Zheng Lixiang, she would have no evidence, not even knowing where to start to prevent it.

Thinking this over, Huo Sining’s mind couldn’t help but stir, coming up with an idea.

Without drawing attention, she quietly recited the Invisibility Spell and silently opened the stall door.

The two women were chatting while touching up makeup at the sink, no one noticing the corner stall door opening from the inside.

After slipping out from inside, Huo Sining silently stood behind the two women, wanting to see what exactly they were up to.

The other woman, looking about twenty years old, at the moment Huo Sining stood behind her, seemed to sense something, her mascara brush paused, and she looked back somewhat oddly.

Li Youyou, noticing her strange action, couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong?"

The woman furrowed her brows, glanced back repeatedly, but saw nothing, feeling quite baffled, "Really odd, I always feel someone watching behind me."
