In the CEO's office of Huo Group.
Huo Xishen was signing some documents and contracts. Thus, he specifically put the phone on loudspeaker.
Assistant Wen was standing right next to him.
As soon as Yan Jinyi said that, Assistant Wen blushed and subconsciously looked at Huo Xishen, only to realize that he didn't lift his eyelid at all.
'Second Young Mistress Huo is so mighty. Is this how Mr. Huo and Second Young Mistress Huo usually flirt with each other at home?'
Assistant Wen suddenly felt a stronger urge to have a girlfriend, preferably the kind that could flirt with him.
"Darling, get a hold of yourself."
???
'How did Mr. Huo win Second Young Mistress Huo's heart? No wait, how on earth did Mr. Huo even get a woman?'
On the other hand, Yan Jinyi's face turned sullen and she muttered, "Doggy Huo, stay alone for the rest of your life, I won't put up with you anymore!"
She hung up furiously...
'Ugh! Doggy Huo actually cut me off!'
Yan Jinyi finally felt much more at ease after she cursed at Huo Xishen.
When she returned to the set, Chen Keyi happened to be throwing a tantrum, and the entire crew was standing at the side, shivering in fear.
The make-up artist was the first to approach Yan Jinyi. His eyes lit up and he scurried over. "Jinyi, you're here, quick, quick, let me do your make up first. I guess we'll have to shoot your scenes with the emperor today."
"What's going on?"
"It's all because of Liu Ran again. Hmph, only after working with her do I know what her true colors are. Her good-girl image is all for show, all she does is create trouble on set. She called in sick today out of nowhere." The makeup artist pointed at Chen Keyi and said, Director Chen has already arranged everything. We were supposed to film the scene of Liu Ran becoming a noble consort today and she agreed to it yesterday too. Yet..."
'Is it not normal for Liu Ran to be problematic? If it wasn't for the fact that the production team is worried that replacing the lead actress might affect the rest of the crew and delay the production, Liu Ran would have long been kicked out.
Yan Jinyi's arrival saved the day and Chen Keyi felt that the local entertainment industry would have long surpassed Hollywood if the actresses these days were all as dedicated as Yan Jinyi.
Since she got off work very early today, Yan Jinyi returned home in the evening.
The Huo residence was located in a residential area that was full of villas, in the north of the city.
The four great families of the city each occupied a large plot of land in this residential district.
Although Yan Jinyi had been in this world for such a long time, she hadn't taken a stroll in the neighborhood yet.
She deliberately hung up on the Huo siblings. Instead, she enjoyed her milk tea and chicken thigh with great satisfaction.
"Trust you to have the nerve to scold me. If I didn't have a mother like you, would I stoop so low as to become someone else's mistress?"
Suddenly, a very familiar voice came from nearby.
There were two women pulling each other while arguing at the gazebo by the river less than three meters away from her.
One of them was a middle-aged woman dressed in old-fashioned clothes, who was pulling another young woman.
The young woman's back was to Yan Jinyi. She had a slender figure and was dressed in a red knitted dress, seemingly rather elegant.
'She looks a little familiar!'
Yan Jinyi could not help but hide behind a tree to peek at them.
"Okay, I was too agitated just now. Look, your brother has been kidnapped for an entire day, and if you don't pay the ransom, they will kill him. You can't bear to see your only brother die because of you, can you? Liu Ran, you are so cruel!"
The middle-aged woman began wailing and weeping.
Fortunately, there was usually very few passersby and people by the river. Otherwise, there must be lots of onlookers surrounding them now.
Having heard the key information, Yan Jinyi immediately took out her cell phone to record a video of the scene.
It turned out to be Liu Ran.
Liu Ran's eyes were red and bloodshot as she glared at the woman in front of her. "What else do you know besides showing concern for my brother? Why did I go work at the bar? It's all because you and your dear son forced me into it!"
