“What do you know? There is no such thing as a feud between family members that lasts overnight. We have made up with Jinyi’s family long ago!” Cao Meiling humphed coldly and sized Yan Jinyi up. “Are you her so-called former classmate? Are you here to cheat me out of my money again?”
“Cheat, my foot. You’re so ugly. What’s there for me to cheat you out of? I’m just relaying a message for Miss Yan. She’s coming back tomorrow.” After saying that, she left without looking back.
When the person walked away, Cao Meiling came back to her senses and remarked, “Where did that woman come from? She’s so uncultured, does she know Yan Jinyi personally?”
“Meiling, I recognize that bag that girl was carrying. It seems to be from the brand Channel or something, right?”
Cao Meiling looked at the other woman in disdain. “It’s called Chanel!”
“Yes, yes, yes, that’s it, maybe she really knows Yan Jinyi!” The woman nudged Cao Meiling with her elbow and said, “Tomorrow, Yuanyuan’s wedding will be held in our estate. I’ll be great if Yan Jinyi comes. That will confirm your relationship with her and Little Wang’s family will respect Yuanyuan greatly!”
Pleased to hear that, Cao Meiling said smugly, “I told you, no matter how much we argue, we will still be relatives. I am her biological mother’s cousin!”
“That’s right, go home and tell the good news to Yuan Yuan and her fiancé. Tomorrow, everyone in our neighborhood will enjoy some glory thanks to your family!”
When Yan Jinyi arrived home, Huo Xishen had just finished working and had already washed up. He was sitting on the balcony and drinking at the moment.
“Darling, you were out for a long time.”
“I was strolling around and trying to reminisce.”
It is a pity that she felt no affection for that place.
Huo Xishen poured a glass of wine for her and said, “An old friend gave this to me. Give it a try, Darling.”
Yan Jinyi looked at him, picked up the tall glass and chugged it. “It tastes good.”
“There’s another bottle, how about you give it to Chen Yuan as a wedding gift?”
Yan Jinyi suddenly understood why Huo Xishen would choose this day to come to Tong City.
‘Did he already know about Chen Yuan’s wedding?’
“I couldn’t tell that you’re so concerned about my maiden family too, Mr. Huo. Why? Do you still plan to give them your blessing?”
“You can send our well wishes, Darling.”
Yan Jinyi humphed gently and stared at the unopened bottle of wine on the table..
Since it was a gift for Huo Xishen, the wine was definitely not cheap. She felt that the Chen family didn’t deserve such a good wine.
“Mr. Huo, if you don’t like the wine, you can give it to me, why should we let an outsider enjoy it?”
Huo Xishen’s gaze was deep as he stared at her for a while before saying, “You call the shots, Darling.”
“You didn’t really bring me here specifically to attend Chen Yuan’s wedding, did you?”
Huo Xishen suddenly reached out and wrapped his hand around her waist, forcing her to sit on his lap. “Revenge has to be taken where it is due but I mainly want to invest in the city where you were born so that you will have something to look up to when you come here again in the future.”
‘Just because of this?’
Yan Jinyi was somehow a little touched.
She grabbed Huo Xishen’s collar and raised her eyes slightly to stare at him, as if they were trying to draw each other in.
A few seconds later, Yan Jinyi pinched Huo Xishen’s face and said, “Mr. Huo, if you’re too good to me, be careful I might be overly reliant on you in the future! It’s very scary to become someone I rely on. Your life might even be in danger!”
Huo Xishen smiled and said, “Darling, go ahead, I’ll look out for my own life.”
Ch–
Yan Jinyi discovered that their relationship had really changed a lot.
In the past, she would only have a perfunctory attitude towards him because she relied on him for a living after all but now…
She had subconsciously treated him as someone dear to her.
“Mr.. Huo, do you think you will like someone else other than me in the future?”
