Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon novel Chapter 1046

Chapter 1046: Little Tyrant

The three boys—Gu Jun and his companions—happened to live in the same neighborhood as the Jin family, so their paths crossed often. The Jin family was quite wealthy, and little Jin Guo, who had lived abroad with her mother since childhood, only returned to China for major holidays or important events.

Every time Jin Guo came back, it seemed that she always found trouble with some of the local boys. Not because they were necessarily bad, but because some of them had a tendency to misbehave in ways that others—particularly girls—wouldn’t dare to confront.

Unfortunately for these boys, Jin Guo wasn’t just any ordinary girl.

She was strong and tough, her reflexes sharp, and her hearing was impeccable. She could clearly catch the whispered words of the three boys sitting nearby.

Rolling her eyes in amusement, she scoffed loudly, “Don’t go spreading rumors about me. I don’t just hit anyone, okay? I only hit the ones who are stupid and nasty, the ones who think they can mess with girls like it’s nothing. I’m doing you all a favor, teaching you how to behave.”

The three boys immediately clamped their mouths shut. The years had passed, and what once had been childish attempts to get close to her had evolved into a lasting fear. When they were younger, they thought she looked like a pretty doll, and they wanted to be near her. But they didn’t realize that Jin Guo wasn’t like the other girls they could pick on. That lesson had come hard and fast.

As the years went by, the boys learned to avoid her at all costs. Jin Guo was indeed stunning, but no one dared to covet her beauty—not when it was guarded by a fierceness that rivaled any seasoned fighter.

At the dinner table, the atmosphere had settled into a comfortable quiet, the adults focused on their food and drink, and the children—after some initial shyness—had started to enjoy the meal as well.

This particular table was the domain of some of the most influential figures in both business and politics, with several retired dignitaries present as well. No one could afford to neglect their guests.

While Gu Zi accompanied Su Shen on the rounds of socializing, she managed to sneak a bit of time to herself to nibble on her food. But Su Shen couldn’t escape; he was constantly occupied, greeting guests and making polite small talk.

As Gu Zi watched him work, she could see how exhausted he was—he barely had time for a break. Right now, he was in the middle of a toast with Boss Huo, a seasoned businessman. The two clinked glasses, each downing a drink, and Boss Huo began to speak.

“Su Shen is truly a man who’s ‘stood firm at thirty’—his career is flourishing, and his marriage is enviably perfect. It’s enough to make anyone jealous!” Boss Huo said, taking another sip of wine. “Let me tell you all—our Mr. Su is involved in a big project over in the capital, a new department store. And guess who’s investing? Mr. Su! Any of you want to join in?”
