Tan Sangsang was in a bit of a trance as the images of herself getting bullied by them in the past gradually surfaced in her mind.
At that time, she lived in misery everyday and she even thought about committing suicide. Never in her wildest dreams would she have ever expected to see these bullies bow and apologize to her.
It was all thanks to Yan Jinyi.
‘What have I done to deserve such a wonderful friend like Jinyi?’
“Second Young Mistress Huo, look, we’ve already apologized, so…” Wang Xiao asked deferentially.
Yan Jinyi sat up straight and said, “Mr. Tang was kind enough to have gotten the tab for this meal. If you have something to say, say it now. If not, get lost.”
The crowd left quickly and avoided her like the plague. As soon as they opened the door of the private room, Yan Jinyi spoke again.
“Wait a moment.”
Everyone shuddered, cowered and turned around.
“I don’t like blabbermouths who talk nonsense, so it’s better to keep today’s incident to yourselves.” Yan Jinyi said nonchalantly.
“Yes, yes, we know that you’re keeping a low profile, Second Young Mistress Huo. We will definitely not say anything about today’s incident.”
“Yes, we’ll keep our lips sealed.”
Only when everyone had left did Zhuang Heng speak up with an aggrieved gaze in his peach-blossom-shaped eyes. “Little pepper, you’re actually married. You’re married but you kept your marital status from me.”
Yan Jinyi rolled her eyes and retorted, “I got married openly, when did I hide it from you?”
‘Openly?’
Even Huo Xishen couldn’t help but glance at her and pursed his thin lips without saying anything.
“You hid it from me. Even Tang Qing knows that you’re married, but I didn’t.”
‘Moreover… you’re married to Huo Xishen! You should at least get a husband whom I can challenge! Someone like Tang Qing!’
“You didn’t ask me,” Yan Jinyi said indifferently.
Clutching his chest with one hand, Zhuang Heng asked with a bitter expression, “Little pepper, did you hear that?”
“Hear what?”
“The sound of my heart breaking.”
“…”
Yan Jinyi pursed her lips and hollered furiously, “Get lost.”
Zhuang Heng really left but he was forcefully dragged away by his manager.
All of a sudden, there was silence in the large private room again.
Looking at the two big shots in front of her, Tan Sangsang began to get a little uneasy, especially since she could feel the tension within them.
It had long been a well-known fact that the Huo Family and Tang family were at odds against each other. They were also business rivals who often fought toe-to-toe in the business industry.
Now, they were fighting over a woman…
“Jinyi, I have to go pick up Mu Mu from school, I’ll get going now!”
“I’ll accompany you.”
Yan Jinyi was about to get her bag but Tan Sangsang frantically refuted, “Nah, Mr. Huo and Mr. Tang are here, you’d better keep them company.”
“They’re just two men. What should I keep them company for? They’re not in my harem anyway,” Yan Jinyi said in disdain. “I’d rather go pick up Mu Mu and admire his puerile looks than stay here.”
Tan Sangsang wanted to give Yan Jinyi a huge thumbs up.
‘Only you would have the guts to say that. What harem!? Do you think you’re a female emperor!?!’
Tang Qing suddenly burst into laughter and said, “Miss Yan, it turns out that you haven’t acknowledged Mr. Huo’s status. He’s not even in your harem, how pitiful.”m
Huo Xishen glanced at her coldly and said in a well-mannered way, “Well at least, I have a ticket to enter,unlike you, Mr. Tang. You don’t even get granted entry.”
‘What entry ticket? Isn’t it just a damned marriage certificate? I don’t care for it!’
The tension between them increased and Yan Jinyi suddenly felt that it was quite a nice feeling to have two rich and handsome men fight over her.
The classmates’ reunion ended just like that. During this period of time, Yan Jinyi began to get busy with the matters of the Black Cloud Fortress.
The fortress was about to be completed and she can start running her business too. Of course, the first thing to do was to find a bunch of people to make her fortress look grand and ostentatious.
