“Your friend?” Ren Hanxuan asked in surprise.
“Why? Is that not allowed?”
Ren Hanxuan sized up Tan Sangsang before looking at Yan Jinyi in disdain.
‘Indeed, birds of the same feather do flock together. What is Huo Xishen thinking? He actually married such a woman.’
“Sangsang, come sit over here.”
Yan Jinyi pointed to the seat beside her and put all the meat in front of herself. “Miss Ren gets fat easily,she can’t eat meat all the time. Seems like we have to finish the meat.”
Ren Hanxuan was furious. ‘Who said that I get fat easily? Even if I don’t have to eat, what about Chengyu and my father?’
“Second Young Mistress Huo, if you like meat so much, just order more, don’t you think you’re being selfish by taking all the meat?”
“Selfish? What’s that?” Yan Jinyi asked.
“You…”
“By the way, Chengyu, are you paying for this meal?” Yan Jinyi asked, looking at Huo Chengyu.
Huo Chengyu nodded.
“I can’t let you do that, the bill is going to be so expensive. Sangsang and I can buy several outfits with that amount of money.” Yan Jinyi frowned and slammed her hand against the table. “Miss Ren and Mr. Ren, since we’re not related to each other, let’s go Dutch on this meal. Remember to chip in for your share when we’re picking up the tab later.”
‘Since you called me selfish, I’ll show you what it’s like to be selfish!’
‘Who spoiled you rotten and let you sponge off others all day?’
Ren Hanxuan was in disbelief and she even thought that she had heard wrongly.
She asked with bewilderment in her eyes, “Second Young Mistress Huo, it’s just a few thousand yuan. You’re representing the Huo Family after all, there’s no need to do this, right?”
“Who are you? Are you a Huo? The Huo family’s business may be prosperous but it’s because our ancestors worked hard to establish and expand it, what does it have to do with you? Look at how kind your father looks, how did he give birth to a selfish brat like you? Tsk, tsk, I feel so ashamed for your father.”
After saying that, Yan Jinyi shook her head seriously.
Feeling a little embarrassed, Mr. Ren said, “Hanxuan was the one who went overboard, don’t worry, Second Young Mistress Huo, this meal’s on me.”
Yan Jinyi suddenly raised the pitch of her voice. “Mr. Ren, you’re going to treat us to a meal? Okay then, Waiter, I would like to have a seafood set please.”
Tan Sangsang sat at the side quietly, viewing Yan Jinyi in a different light.
If Yan Jinyi used to be like that in the past, her high school classmates wouldn’t have bullied her all the time.
Huo Chengyu watched them while resting his chin in one hand, as if he wasn’t involved at all.
Halfway through dinner, Huo Xishen called.
Reminded of Ren Hanxuan’s remark about their unharmonious marriage with Huo Xishen, Yan Jinyi pressed the loudspeaker button.
Soon Huo Xishen’s unique, clear voice came from the speaker of the phone. “Darling, when are you coming home?”
“Oh, I’m with Chengyu.”
Huo Chengyu moved close to her cell phone and greeted Huo Xishen.
On the other end, Huo Xishen stayed silent for a moment before saying, “I’ll have to trouble you to send my wife home then.”
He emphasized on the words “my wife.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely bring her home safely.”
Huo Xishen expressed assent and said, “Have fun, Darling.”
Yan Jinyi grabbed the cell phone and asked flirtatiously with some ambiguity, “Mr. Huo, do you miss my body?”
After she said that, everyone turned to look at her.
Yan Jinyi remained calm and said, “Be good, I’ll satisfy you when I get home.”
Huo Xishen didn’t answer and hung up the call instead.
“My husband is shy, don’t mind him.”
Ren Hanxuan pulled down the tablecloth with her heart full of jealousy and she said, “It seems that Second Young Mistress Huo has a loving relationship with Mr. Huo Xishen.”
Yan Jinyi said shyly, “Ah, of course, he won’t be at ease unless he hugs me to sleep everyday!”
“…”
