Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 2155: Chapter 2058: Taking the Fall

Huo Sining felt both amused and exasperated. She had long known Su Qingqing was lazy, but she had never expected her to be this lazy—entrusting her with such a significant matter as her lifelong happiness, even threatening her not to fail.

Hey, hey, hey, who exactly is dropping the ball here? If you really valued it this much, why don’t you talk to your dad yourself instead of asking me to mediate?

Huo Sining muttered a few complaints but mentally added this matter to her schedule, planning to confront Huang Hongying and Su Zhenhua when the time was right in the future.

If it were two years ago, with Su Qingqing and Wu Jun dating, Huo Sining was sure that if Wu Jun came to visit, not only would Huang Hongying and Su Zhenhua react, but even Su Jinyuan, as a brother, would certainly drive Wu Jun out of the Su Family with a broom.

But now, things were different. After being with her for over two years, Wu Jun had seen a significant rise in his status and had some savings accumulated. Both his character and temperament were top-notch— Huo Sining and Gu Xu were very familiar with him and knew him well. Plus, he only had Yaya as his remaining family member, which made family dynamics uncomplicated. Marrying him meant having complete control, without worrying about any dramatic mother-in-law conflicts.

With such conditions, he truly is one in a million, and Huo Sining was sure the Su family would find it hard to fault him.

Of course, this couldn’t be rushed, especially since Su Qingqing was only a senior in college and still in her internship. It was too early to discuss marriage now.

At this moment, Huo Sining hadn’t considered that she wasn’t her past self anymore. In this reincarnation, she was a year younger than Su Qingqing in age, yet she was not only a wife, but soon, she was going to be a mother as well—much faster than Su Qingqing.

Nonetheless, Huo Sining didn’t think getting married early was a problem. When she was dating Gu Xu, she didn’t consider marriage at all, not because of age, but rather because the time wasn’t right. Once the time was right and their relationship was deep, marriage came naturally.

Moreover, despite being reincarnated, Huo Sining still considered herself mentally a twenty-six or twenty-seven-year-old adult. Thus, getting married during college seemed appropriate rather than inappropriate.

As for outsiders saying the age gap between her and Gu Xu was too large, potentially causing generation gaps, Huo Sining dismissed it as a joke.

Considering her reincarnation timeline, she and Gu Xu were entirely on the same generational level, with no generation gap at all. This was why she and Gu Xu were so deeply in sync when dating, often understanding each other’s thoughts without needing to speak, just by exchanging glances.

After three months of pregnancy, Huo Sining finally felt relieved. With Tongtong’s arrival, her courage grew, leading her to openly take the little girl, along with Blue Fatty and Niuniu, to the old Gu Family residence.

When they first saw Huo Sining bringing the children home, the elderly members of the Gu Family were confused, akin to a monk trying to grasp the mind. Once Gu Xu and Huo Sining explained the situation, the expressions on their faces varied greatly.

Master Gu and Mr. Gu had no objections regarding the couple’s decision to adopt the children. Being from a righteous and red revolutionary background, they naturally possessed a rare compassion. Upon learning these two girls’ backgrounds, their hearts softened, and they secretly approved of their daughter-in-law’s decision.

With the wealth of Huo Sining and Gu Xu, raising two children wasn’t a challenge for them, but for these two little girls, it was a life-changing opportunity.

The men were relatively straightforward, but the women had sharper eyes. Mrs. Gu had no particular reaction after meeting Tongtong, but seeing Blue Fatty left her rather shocked, while Mrs. Gu kept staring at the chubby girl with suspicion.

"Ningning, we’re family; there’s no need to hide things. You don’t need to cover for Xu Zi. Just tell me honestly, is this child... is this child..."

Mrs. Gu struggled to say the rest, hesitated for a moment, then bit the bullet and asked, "Did you have the child secretly before you got married?"

While she couldn’t say "illegitimate child," the implication was clear; she presumed the chubby girl was Huo Sining’s child.

Seeing this, Huo Sining was both amused and exasperated. She turned to Gu Xu, her gaze clearly implying: See, I knew your mom would misunderstand!

Gu Xu’s mouth twitched slightly, thankfully the matter had settled for a while; if it had been before the year when Huo Sining hadn’t been confirmed pregnant and Niuniu’s situation was disclosed, the old family members wouldn’t have heard his explanation and would definitely have believed he’d been reckless before his wife Ningning was of age, resulting in a child!

Regardless of the relief, the explanation was still necessary. Gu Xu flexed his persuasive skills, describing the situation of picking up an abandoned baby in the dead of night as thrillingly dramatic. Meanwhile, he signaled to his wife to indicate the burden he was carrying for her.

Huo Sining chuckled inwardly but nodded in agreement with Gu Xu’s story.

The family elders listened with skepticism, especially Mrs. Gu, who, upon seeing Niuniu’s remarkably similar face to Huo Sining, said suspiciously:

"Is she really not ours? But this child—why does she look so much like Ningning?"

Huo Sining coughed twice, awkwardly saying, "Mom, I met Gu Xu after coming to S University. At that time, I was studying and busy with my career. Where would I have the time and energy to have a child? Niuniu resembling me is purely coincidental; perhaps it’s fate that brought her to me. That’s why I wanted to adopt her; maybe it’s destiny for her to be my daughter in name."

Upon hearing Huo Sining’s explanation, Mrs. Gu seemed to mostly believe it, nodding thoughtfully after watching Niuniu’s face for a while.
