“Yes, Second Sister-in-law.”
Huo Qingyuan responded softly.
Grimacing at her, Huo Zihang thought, ‘Kid, you were being complacent with me, huh? Look how infuriating your behavior was!’
‘Do you think you can insult Yan Jinyi easily?’
“Third Brother, you dog.”
Huo Qingyuan snorted coldly and turned away to ignore him.
Huo Zihang’s handsome face turned grim and he threatened, “Huo Qingyuan, don’t think that I don’t dare to hit you just because you’re my sister!”
“Coward, you came to ask me for help after suffering a beating. You’re much more cowardly than me!”
His childhood was the greatest humiliation of his life. Seeing that Huo Qingyuan had raked up the past again, Huo Zihang rolled up his sleeves and pretended to hit her.
As soon as he spoke, he heard Yan Jinyi’s voice coming from the second floor, “Huo Zihang, you’re really something. Kneel down together with Huo Qingyuan.”
Huo Zihang flew into a rage and yelled, “Why? I didn’t hit you!”
“I’ve been finding you an eyesore for a long time.” Yan Jinyi pointed to the samurai sword hanging on the wall on the first floor, which was a decorative object, and continued, “Maybe, you should let me hit you to let off some steam.”
Huo Zihang shook his head vigorously and knelt down next to Huo Qingyuan in a particularly obedient manner.
Huo Qingyuan gloated, “Serves you right.”
“Wretched girl, you’re the one who got me into this!”
“You provoked Second Sister-in-law, don’t put the blame on me. I won’t admit it at all!”
The two of them were having a heated argument.
Yan Jinyi said again, “Huo Zihang, you failed to fulfill your duty as Huo Qingyuan’s brother because you didn’t take her in hand. You have to kneel for half an hour on her behalf.”
Huo Qingyuan’s eyes lit up, but her spirits were soon dampened again.
“Huo Qingyuan, after you’re done kneeling for half an hour, go to the study and copy ten literary extracts, together with the translation.”
Huo Qingyuan felt like passing out just after hearing it. “Second Sister-in-law, can I get Third Brother to help me too?”
“Then you can kneel for an hour before copying.”
Huo Qingyuan immediately changed her mind. “Third Brother is an irresponsible person, so he should help me because he deserves it!”
Huo Zihang glared at Huo Qingyuan and thought, ‘Say it again if you dare.’
After dealing with Zhou Yan, Zhang Guoquan sneakily hid in the living room to chat with Huo Xishen via a video call.
Huo Xishen seemed to have an endless amount of work to do. At this moment, he was seated behind the desk with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face. He looked like a decent-looking scum.
“Second Young Master, Miss Huo’s scumbag of a boyfriend has been dealt with, Second Young Mistress Huo has beaten him up into a pulp.”
After saying that, he also specifically sent a photo.
Huo Xishen took a glance and said, “Yeah, it’s pretty bad.”
“Second Young Master, are we really going to let Second Young Mistress be in charge of Old Master’s birthday banquet? Second Young Mistress…”
Huo Xishen raised his eyebrows and asked, “Huh?”
“I’m worried that it might become a fight in the ring.”
“…”
That was not the first time he had heard of Yan Jinyi’s violent behavior.
“When is Big Brother coming home?”
“No, I don’t know. Third Young Master is now being punished and made to kneel by Second Young Mistress.”
He thought that Huo Xishen would be infuriated but to his surprise…
“It’s good to let them kneel for a while, those two are really in need of a beating.”
Zhang Guoquan hesitated for a while and said, “Second Young Master, Second Young Mistress probably already holds a grudge against me.”
“Huh?”
“I always tell on her.”
‘Shouldn’t you deserve to be hated then?’
Huo Xishen thought to himself secretly.
“We’ll let my sister-in-law handle it. Yan Jinyi… can invite anyone she wants.”
“Second Young Master, Second Young Mistress Huo’s film has become a hit lately. It seems to be earning money too.”
Huo Xishen was a little surprised.
“Send me the film.”
“Okay, I’ll get the relevant people to find the resources.”
“Keep an eye on Yan Jinyi.” Huo Xishen paused and continued, “Report back to me at any time once she acts up.”
Yan Jinyi did not know that she had been targeted by her in-name husband.
