Chapter 2065: Chapter 1968: It’s Her
Seeing her husband rummaging through the living room, Liu Xiuping was full of suspicion and couldn’t help but ask curiously:
"What are you looking for?"
Dong Chengli turned over the coffee table, sofa, and bookshelves in the living room but couldn’t find what he was looking for, feeling a bit deflated:
"Where did you put the newspapers from the past few days?"
Liu Xiuping was taken aback, then immediately turned around and ran to the study on one side, quickly bringing out a stack of newspapers: "I saw you’ve read those newspapers, so I was planning to use them for shoe patterns. Why do you need these newspapers?"
Dong Chengli said nothing and directly took the stack of newspapers from her, quickly flipping through them. Soon, he extracted one paper from about half a month ago from the pile.
It was a large layout, the headline of the entire page covered the sensational twelve zodiac animal heads incident.
On page A of the layout, there a very large photo of Huo Sining at the press conference was printed prominently.
Dong Chengli folded the newspaper, then brought the close-up photo to Liu Xiuping, asking: "Honey, is the scammer who just gave you the business card this person?"
Although the photo size on the newspaper was large, it was not a magazine, so the photo inevitably became somewhat distorted after being published. Moreover, Huo Sining had makeup on at the press conference, but she was makeup-free when seen in the neighborhood.
Thus, at first glance, Liu Xiuping was somewhat unsure, hesitated slightly, and said: "It seems somewhat like her, it should be her, but I’m not sure."
Dong Chengli was thoroughly convinced by his wife’s impression; he thought for a moment and said to Liu Xiuping: "Come with me."
Entering the study, Dong Chengli quickly searched online, entered Huo Sining’s name, and soon a lot of photos of Huo Sining appeared on the search interface. Dong Chengli opened these photos for Liu Xiuping to see: "Check again, is it this person?"
Among those photos, naturally, there was Huo Sining without makeup, and Liu Xiuping’s eyes lit up, pointing to one unadorned Huo Sining and said:
"It’s her, the woman who gave me the business card is her. I didn’t take the card, and I don’t know when she slipped it into Jing’er’s hand."
Confirming that the one who came to find his wife was indeed the female protagonist of the twelve zodiac animal heads incident, Dong Chengli felt a bit stunned. Although he had guessed the possibility and mentally prepared himself before confirmation, the sudden blow of surprise still left Dong Chengli feeling dizzy.
"Honey, what’s wrong?"
Seeing her husband’s slightly dazed expression, Liu Xiuping felt strange and couldn’t help asking.
Dong Chengli couldn’t help but smile wryly, glanced at Liu Xiuping, looking casual, and asked helplessly: "Do you know who the person mistaken as a scammer is?"
Liu Xiuping was stunned, only now vaguely sensing something was amiss. Yes, why is this woman on the newspaper and can be found online; is this woman so famous?
"Who is this woman, is she very famous?"
Dong Chengli nodded: "Very famous, extremely famous. She’s a very renowned big star, has been a treasure appraiser, knows how to gamble on stones, participated in WGC international gambling competition, won the Crocodile Crown in Las Vegas, also won a championship at an international treasure appraisal conference in New York. Not only that, the recent uproar about the beast head incident was stirred up by her. She spent over ten billion RMB in Philadelphia, USA, to buy back two bronze beast heads."
Despite this lengthy explanation, the only keyword Liu Xiuping grasped was over ten billion.
A woman spending over ten billion to buy some bronze beast heads sounded like a fantasy tale to Liu Xiuping; she couldn’t help but click her tongue, incredulously looking at her husband:
"Over ten billion? Does this woman have that much money? Could it be just hype?"
Dong Chengli shook his head: "Not hyped. It’s all earned by herself. The news reported that she dug diamonds for two days in Oregon, America, and sold nearly thirty billion RMB. Those beast heads didn’t actually cost a penny; she used foreign currency from those diamond sales to buy them."
"Not only that, during Qingya’s earthquake this year, this Huo woman also sold her share in a large jadeite mine in Myanmar, donating the money to the Qingya earthquake disaster area. She set up a foundation, placing all her groups under the foundation, promising all profits from her group belong to the foundation."
At this point, Dong Chengli suddenly remembered something and looked at Liu Xiuping: "Last year’s Spring Festival Gala, didn’t you and Jing watch a woman performing magic who was awesome? Then replayed that magic many times? That magic was performed by Huo Sining."
Liu Xiuping’s eyes widened and she exclaimed incredulously: "It was her!?"
Dong Chengli nodded: "Yes, it was her."
Liu Xiuping felt a bit timid: "It was her! I really didn’t expect this actress to be so wealthy. But what should I do? Will she be offended by how I treated her before?"
Seeing his wife’s slightly panicked expression, Dong Chengli couldn’t help but laugh: "You’re overestimating these celebrities; they’re not as lofty as you think. Also, this Huo Sining, I’ve read many of her reports; she’s definitely not the conceited type of star we imagine. I don’t think she’d mind such minor details."
Yet Liu Xiuping remained anxious: "Then why did she come to us? Jing’er is so young. How could she be of help to them?"
Dong Chengli’s eyes gleamed: "For them to personally come to us means Jing’er must be very useful to them. You don’t need to be nervous; I actually think it’s an opportunity. We are so ordinary that providing good conditions for Jing’er is almost impossible. But Jing’er is still young; if she can get to know someone like Huo Sining, it might be very beneficial for her future."
Liu Xiuping didn’t know what her husband meant by these words, but she had always been indecisive, following her husband’s lead. Whatever Dong Chengli said, she did too, so she voiced no opposition.
