“The corridor is so wide but you just had to stand in the middle. Yes, I hit you!”
Yan Jinyi put a hand on her waist and said arrogantly.
“You…”
Huo Chengyu finally discovered Yan Jinyi’s presence and said with a trace of surprise in his gentle gaze, “Jinyi, what are you doing here?”
“I’m here to meet a friend,” Yan Jinyi said while looking Huo Chengyu up from head to toe. “Brother, are you here to find me a new sister-in-law? Concubines aren’t allowed in this era.”
Yan Jinyi’s emphasis on the word “concubine” made Ren Hanxuan’s face turn sullen.
“The descendants of the Huo family have never planned to marry twice. Since we’ve run into each other, why don’t you join us?” Huo Chengyu asked, coughing gently.
Ren Hanxuan was about to look for an excuse to refute but Yan Jinyi had already agreed to it. “Great, I happen to be poor now.”
Hearing this, Ren Hanxuan widened her eyes in shock.
‘Why would Second Young Mistress Huo be poor? That bitch Shen Yan must have arranged for this woman to be here. Hmph, so what? I’ll marry Chengyu sooner or later.’
“Chengyu, who’s this…”
Ren Hanxuan’s father asked while glancing at Yan Jinyi with some benevolence in his gaze.
“Xishen’s wife, Jinyi. Jinyi, this is my teacher, who’s also Hanxuan’s father.”
Ren Hanxuan’s father was a little surprised to hear his words and he looked at Yan Jinyi somewhat inquisitively.
He had a somewhat sufficient understanding of Huo Xishen’s character, and was well aware that his wife must not be an ordinary person.
However, he could tell based on Yan Jinyi’s conversation with Ren Hanxuan just now, that she wasn’t very well-mannered.
Being an experienced and tactful person, Ren Hanxuan’s father continued to smile benevolently and nodded at Yan Jinyi. “Oh, it’s Second Young Mistress Huo. Hanxuan has offended you just now, my bad.”
“It’s not considered an offense, Miss Ren just has a poor eyesight. Chengyu, aren’t you a doctor? Why don’t you help cure her eyesight?”
Mr. Ren’s smile froze as he glanced at Ren Hanxuan.
Yan Jinyi was so beautiful that even he had already noticed her.
He believed that Ren Hanxuan must have seen Yan Jinyi, unless she was just ignoring her on purpose.
However, Mr. Ren had always chose to indulge his daughter and allow her to be capricious. “Second Young Mistress Huo, you must be joking. Hanxuan and Chengyu were discussing the results of their research just now and probably didn’t notice you.”
Yan Jinyi did not answer him and instead bent forward to look into the private room before swaggering in and taking a seat.
Seeing this, Ren Hanxuan couldn’t help but mutter, “Chengyu hasn’t even taken a seat yet, who is she to sit down?”
Mr. Ren hurriedly pulled her and said, “Enough, she’s Second Young Mistress Huo after all. Show her some respect.”
‘I heard that Mr. Huo Xishen doesn’t even bother to look at her, she’s just his wife in name.’
‘Same goes for Shen Yan.’
Ren Hanxuan genuinely looked down on Yan Jinyi.
She heard that Huo Qingyuan had a good relationship with Yan Jinyi but she was puzzled because she thought that Huo Qingyuan had always disliked those who went out of their way to suck up to the rich.
Yan Jinyi knew that Ren Hanxuan must have been infuriated now.
‘Go ahead and get angry. The angrier you are, the happier I’ll be.’
‘I’ll continue agitating you further too.’
“Brother, Grandpa wants you and Sister-in-law to have a child sooner. Grandpa said that he won’t acknowledge any other woman except Sister-in-law.”
As expected, Ren Hanxuan’s face turned pale after she heard that.
Huo Chengyu sipped on the tea and said, “I have no such intention. Jinyi, you and Xishen…” Huo Chengyu glanced at Yan Jinyi and said, “It’s time Zihang gets married.”
