“I-I wouldn’t dare to. I was just worried because Jinyi’s grandmother went missing. Mr. Huo, have you seen her?”
Huo Xishen was leaning against the couch with one arm around Yan Jinyi’s shoulder.
Yan Jinyi was seated upright beside him but his gesture seemed a little romantic.
Chen Yulian couldn’t help but frown. ‘Since when has this ingrate become so chummy with her husband?’
“How are you so sure that my wife was the one who took her away?”
Chen Yulian glared at Yan Jinyi viciously and said, “I went to the countryside to visit her grandmother and the neighbors said that she was taken away to the city by two handsome young men. Who else lives in the city except Yan Jinyi?”
“Is your eyesight that terrible? There are loads of people in this city, how can I be the only one here? If you’re suffering from eyesight problems, you may look for Chengyu, he will poke your eyes with a hammer and make sure you have perfect vision immediately.”
Huo Qingyuan stayed at the side and watched quietly. ‘Second Sister-in-law is getting better at lying through her teeth.’
Chen Yulian knew how sharp-tongued YanJinyi was and she had repeatedly told herself to bear with it before she arrived but now…
“You’re coveting your grandmother’s house in the countryside and you’re worried that she might give it to your cousin so of course you’d take her away and threaten her. I bet you must have colluded with Xu Hao. Yan Jinyi, hand over your grandmother now or I’ll report you to the police now!”
‘House?’
“What house?” asked Yan Jinyi whose curiosity had been aroused.
“Drop the pretense. Didn’t you take your grandmother away because you found out that the town is planning to convert her house into an inn for tourists and you’re worried that she might give it to my son?”
‘Converting her house into an inn for tourists? Is that lucrative?’
Yan Jinyi turned to look at Huo Xishen and asked, “Is running an inn very profitable?”
“If you market it by making yourself the spokesperson, it’ll indeed generate a large amount of profits.”
‘Ah… Chen Yulian is giving me the opportunity to make money!’
Yan Jinyi’s eyes lit up.
‘If that bastard Tang Qing dares to kill my grandmother, I’ll break his skull!’
“Yan Jinyi, your grandmother is old and she can’t take the fright.” Chen Yulian took a deep breath and roared furiously as she reached into the pocket of her coat to secretly turn on the voice recording function of her cell phone.
Yan Jinyi’s eyes flickered and she suddenly turned to look at Huo Xishen with pouted lips. She said aggrievedly, “Hubby, she’s being so mean and fierce to me!”
Huo Qingyuan paused when she was just about to drink some water.
Huo Zihang who was getting ready to come downstairs, almost missed a step.
Huo Xishen raised his arm calmly and left it hanging in midair for a few seconds before placing it on Yan Jinyi’s back. “Darling, just be yourself, you don’t have to be so pretentious.”
???
‘Doggy Huo, is there something wrong with you?’
Just as Yan Jinyi was about to snap at him, Huo Xishen said, “Go ahead and hit her if you want to, you don’t have to hold back.”
Yan Jinyi raised her brows gleefully. ‘He’s instigating me to hit someone!’
“Ah, why has the usually quiet and dull home of the Huos become so lively all of a sudden?” Tang Qing interjected as he appeared at the door just at the right time.
He was dressed in thick sportswear with a pair of earphones hanging around his neck. He leaned against the door frame languidly.
Tang Qing’s roguishness came from within and he even exuded the vibe of a gangster.
Yan Jinyi couldn’t help but glance at Huo Xishen who was still seated in a relaxed manner right beside her, still dressed in an immaculate suit and appearing dignified.
His brows were thick and beautiful.
After comparing the two, Yan Jinyi felt that Huo Xishen was much more attractive than Tang Qing.
