"We've already broken up, Second Sister-in-law, I've already learned my lesson. You can't be like this."
Huo Qingyuan felt extremely aggrieved. Rumor had it that girls of wealthy families had high tendencies of being retarded and it seemed that it was true!
'I'm totally a retard. I actually got deceived by that bastard Zhou Yan and ended up in such a terrible state. I feel terrible too, okay!?"
"By the way, what's the matter with that Zhou Yan?"
Huo Xian finally recalled the fact that Huo Zihang had previously informed him that Huo Qingyuan had gotten into a romantic relationship but broken up.
Huo Qingyuan shook her head vigorously and said, "Grandpa, it's nothing much. I was just too silly to have trusted the wrong person. Grandpa, I was wrong. I won't trust a random man easily again."
"Have you broken up completely? Are you sure that you won't give in if that man comes back and tries to reconcile with you?"
Huo Qingyuan was shaking her head vigorously.
"No, no, I won't, I swear!"
Huo Xian looked at Huo Zihang and asked sternly, "What about you? How many times did you change your girlfriend when I wasn't around?"
He knew that sooner or later it would be his turn to be questioned.
Huo Zihang sat upright and said, "Grandpa I've been a conscionable man for a long time."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, ask Zhou Kairui if you don't believe me."
Zhou Kairui was Huo Zihang's best friend, whose family engaged in foreign trade. Just like Huo Zihang, he was a rich heir.
"Hmph, you're not getting any younger. It's time that you marry a good girl and build a family of your own."
"Grandpa, there aren't that many good girls these days. Do you think all girls are like Sister-in-law?"
'Huh?'
Yan Jinyi raised her eyebrow and looked askance at Huo Zihang. "What do you mean, are you saying that I'm not a good girl?"
Huo Zihang met Yan Jinyi's gaze, clearly telling him, "You're finished if you dare to tell on me."
"No, Second Sister-in-law, you're absolutely unique."
'That's more like it.'
Huo Xian realized that in the two months that he had been absent from home, Huo Zihang and Huo Qingyuan seemed to have become extra respectful towards Yan Jinyi.
Even Huo Chengyu praised them when he was inside the car.
Although Huo Chengyu had a decent appearance, he was not easy to get along with.

It was a bright and sunny day.
Huo Xian's birthday banquet was just round the corner.
The large Huo Family mansion was decorated with various lights and decorations, and the spacious lawn was also filled with wine and delicacies.
One after another, luxurious cars were driven over and parked outside the mansion.
The rich, wealthy, and prominent figures came out of the car with their wives and children, carrying bags of gifts of various sizes.
Huo Zihang invited the top styling team of the nation to doll up the women in the family.
Huo Qingyuan was given a young and energetic, princess-themed outfit and look that made her look particularly sweet.
On the other hand, Shen Yan dressed elegantly like a light blue long cheongsam dress which accentuated her svelte figure.
"Sister-in-law, you're so beautiful." Huo Qingyuan couldn't help help but give Shen Yan a thumbs up when she saw her. "Is Second Sister-in-law not ready yet?"
Shen Yan shook her head and said, "I guess she'll take a while longer.
Yan Jinyi had just thrown a tantrum.
'What kind of a weirdo is that stylist? He chose a bath towel for me!'
At this moment, the stylist was staring at the dress on the sofa that Yan Jinyi described as a bath towel, flabbergasted.
It was a bandeau gown that was designed by an internationally-renowned designer, and it was the one and only piece in the world. Yet, Yan Jinyi called it a towel.
'This dress may be white in color and velvety but how does it look like a towel?'
'It's clearly gorgeous and sexy.'
After a long time, the maid brought over a bunch of dresses.
The stylist trembled and picked out a long one. "Second Young Mistress Huo, do you think the dress is okay?"
Yan Jinyi glanced at it and said, "It's a proper dress, why do you have to cut off the piece of fabric at the back? Does the Huo Family need this fabric? No, you must change it."
