Zhuang Heng waited for a long time but he still didn’t receive a call from Yan Jinyi.
Staring at his cell phone, he was just about to call her again but he soon thought about the vow he declared just now. ‘Forget it, I just won’t contact her for a week. I must let her know that I’m really angry.’
Yan Jinyi slept until noon, and when she came downstairs, she was greeted by all the Huo family members who were waiting for her to start eating.
“Second Sister-in-law, I’ve spent so much time alone with you, why hasn’t anyone snapped photos of us? Why are there no rumors about us?” Huo Qingyuan questioned with righteous indignation.
Yan Jinyi stretched her back lazily and said, “Perhaps, you’re not as pretty as Yan Yan?”
“Second Sister-in-law, you call me by my full name but you address Shen Yan as Yan Yan. You’re so biased, we’re both women, you can’t treat me differently!”
Yan Jinyi couldn’t help but look at Huo Qingyuan twice. ‘This little girl is jealous.’
“What was your attitude towards me when we first met?”
Huo Zihang, who was wolfing down his food with his head hung low, frantically raised his arm and exclaimed, “I know! Huo Qingyuan…”
“Shut up, you’re such a gossipmonger. No wonder Grandpa is so eager for you to get married,” Yan Jinyi said as he glared daggers at her.
Huo Zihang suddenly felt particularly aggrieved. ‘Look, this is what a difference in treatment means.’
It happened that Huo Xishen and Huo Chengyu had already gone to work. Uncle Zhang was a total coward and no one in the Huo Family was on his side.
“Second Sister-in-law, can we not harp on the past and rake up history? We should look forward and plan for the life we aspire to live in the future!”
“How many points did you score for your ideological and political exams? What gave you the confidence to declare your testimonial here?” Huo Qingyuan immediately chickened out after hearing Yan Jinyi’s shrewd comment, which hit the nail on its head.
‘All you do is bully me, Second Sister-in-law, I’m going to stop being your meticulous and close confident!’
As soon as she secretly swore in her heart, Huo Qingyuan fished out two concert tickets from her purse and showed them to Yan Jinyi like she was offering a treasure. “Second Sister-in-law, I had a hard time getting these tickets to the concert of a famous internationally-renowned band. They’re VVIP tickets, should we catch it together?”
Yan Jinyi rubbed her ears. She couldn’t stand heavy metal music because her ears would ring for a long time after listening to music of this genre and she preferred staying at home to listen to some relaxing music while enjoying a glass of wine.
“No, I want to accompany Huo Zihang to a blind date. Huo Qingyuan, you should also hurry up and get yourself a boyfriend, lest you frolic around here out of boredom every day and night like an eyesore.”
Huo Qingyuan directly chose to ignore the latter half of the sentence. As soon as he heard that Huo Zihang was going on a blind date, she began to get really gossipy.
She suddenly sat up straight and said with glistening eyes, “Third Brother is going on a blind date? Isn’t Third Brother a lady killer? He has so many ex-girlfriends but he’s reduced to having to go on blind dates?”
Seeing that Huo Zihang was gloating, Huo Zihang gritted his teeth angrily and said, “Shut up, sooner or later, it’ll be your turn.”
“Impossible, I’ve had everything planned out. I’m going to take the graduate exam and attend graduate school abroad, then I’ll have a reason to avoid blind dates.”
‘Huo Qingyuan wants to further her studies abroad?’
‘Her grades are so terrible, she must have paid loads of money to get so far in her academic attainments.’
‘Ah, the lives of the rich are really unimaginably blissful.’
Soon, Huo Xishen sent a text message to Huo Zihang to inform him of the blind date venue.
The venue was at a mountain resort, which was chosen by the parents of the girl he would be meeting.
‘A resort… I can treat it as a field trip.’
“Second Sister-in-law, I’ll give you a million yuan. Can you help me cancel this blind date?”
After eating, Yan Jinyi specially changed into another outfit and made her way downstairs again.
She was wearing a suit made of houndstooth fabric paired with black stilettos on her feet and a square purse in her hands. She looked extremely sharp and capable.
Hearing his words, Yan Jinyi glanced at Huo Zihang indifferently and said, “If your blind date turns out well, it won’t be an issue for me to ask Grandpa for five million yuan.”
