“Miss Leng, you’ve misunderstood, the one who likes to eat that steak is Huo Zihang.”
In other words, he was trying to tell her to invite Huo Zihang instead.
Leng Yuxi found it harder and harder to maintain her smile. ‘Is it that Xishen can’t even be bothered to be nice to be on the surface?’
“Xishen, I just want to catch up with you. Dad is sending me abroad to accompany my grandparents. Once I leave, it’ll be a long time before I get to see you again.”
Huo Xishen glanced at Leng Yuxi expressionlessly and said, “Please send my regards to your grandparents.”
Yang Qing had never seen Leng Yuxi being so humble and eager to please a person, only to have her efforts unappreciated. Yang Qing could no longer be bothered about whether or not Huo Xishen had any evidence against her at this point. She said, “Mr. Huo, Yuxi did nothing wrong and she adores you so much. Can’t you just be nice to her?”
“Madam Yang, please don’t blame me for being ungracious.”
Huo Xishen did not reply and instead, gave Yang Qing a warning with an ambiguous meaning. He then instructed the bodyguard to stop the two of them before entering the elevator and leaving.
Leng Yuxi stared at the descending elevator and gritted her teeth in anger, “Aunt, what is Xishen doing here?”
“Hmph, what else can he be here for? He’s here to threaten me for that bitch.”
“Xishen threatened you?” Leng Yuxi was a little surprised. “What did he threaten you with? Aunt, does he have any evidence against you?”
Yang Qing then realized that she had had a slip of the tongue and thus said somewhat sheepishly, “No, not at all. He just threatened me with the company. Don’t worry, this time I will definitely tarnish Yan Jinyi’s reputation.”
At this point, Yang Qing placed both hands on Leng Yuxi’s shoulder gently to comfort her. “Yuxi, you’re the only woman who’s the most suitable for being Huo Xishen’s wife. Since your father won’t help you, leave it to me. I’ll definitely help you return to your rightful position.”
Leng Yuxi was extremely touched and she quickly hugged Yang Qing. “Thank you, Aunt.”
“What’s there to thank me for? We are a family and since someone snatched away the person you like, I can’t just let it go, right?”
Leng Yuxi smiled sweetly.
‘I have so many family members to support her while Yan Jinyi had nothing. What can she do to fight with me?’
Yan Jinyi had always been a person of her word. After leaving Yixin Finance, she went on a date with Tang Qing as promised.
Although he called it a date, it was actually just having a meal together. However, Tang Qing specially chose a romantic restaurant for couples.
“Jinyi, feel free to eat anything you’d like to eat.”
Yan Jinyi tugged her hair and said, “Mr. Tang, I think it’d be better for you to address me as Miss Yan.”
Tang Qing looked up and made eye contact with Yan Jinyi with a warm and gentle smile. “Jinyi, we’re on a date now. Wouldn’t it seem too distant if I call you Miss Yan?”
Yan Jinyi replied honestly, “You and I aren’t that close in the first place.”
“Jinyi, you and I have been through so much, how can we not be close to each other?”
“…”
Yan Jinyi rolled her eyes and said, “Mr. Tang, fortunately there is no one else around now, otherwise we would be misunderstood.”
Almost as soon as he said that, Huo Xishen interjected, “Is that so? What have you and Mr. Tang been through?, Darling?”
Yan Jinyi was stunned and she turned around to see that Huo Xishen was standing behind him, with Special Assistant Wen tagging along behind him. When he saw Yan Jinyi, Assistant Wen respectfully bowed to her.
“It doesn’t matter what we’ve experienced. What’s important is that Mr. Tang and I have established a revolutionary friendship.”
Tang Qing rested his jaw in one hand and looked at the two with great interest.
‘Seems like she’s using me to spite Huo Xishen in this tiff.’
‘This girl is really bad but I like it.’
‘It’d be better if they have a fight everyday!’
“Jinyi is right, we have established a revolutionary friendship that’s indestructible.”
