Huo Xian returned to his island on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
He didn't like the polluted air in the city and his grandchildren would often get on his nerves.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to earnestly urge both his granddaughters-in-law to have a baby as soon as possible.
Well, he was waiting for someone to inherit his island.
Yan Jinyi secretly glanced at Huo Zihang and thought, 'The island has long become mine because Huo Zihang's son has already agreed to give it to me.'
Yan Jinyi planned to expand her acting career after the Lunar New Year holiday. The national film festival was to be held in a month's time and the film 'Female Fortress Leader' was shortlisted for an award while Yan Jinyi had was nominated for the 'Best Newcomer' award.
Yan Jinyi also planned to invest in another film in the name of 'Second Young Mistress Huo' and star in it herself. She decided that apart from herself, the rest of the cast was to be composed of newbies.
After drafting a plan, the next step would be to rope Huo Xishen in for the investment.
"Mr. Huo, I know of a great investment plan, do you want to give it a try?"
Huo Xishen already knew what she was planning to do.
"Darling, I can afford to provide for you."
"But I can't afford to provide for myself!"
Huo Xishen looked at her in surprise.
Yan Jinyi didn't seem shy at all. 'I'll have thousands of underlings to feed in the future.' d
"What kind of movie do you intend to produce?"
"A romance flick that revolves around unrequited love and star-crossed lovers who are infatuated with each other but remain in an on-off relationship. That's one of the most popular themes..."
Before she even finished, Huo Xishen suddenly stood up and said coldly, "I'm not going to invest in that. I'll head to the office now."
"???"
'Doggy Huo, you're so stingy!'
She had even thought of a storyline for the movie but Huo Xishen just had to be a wet blanket.
Yan Jinyi stomped her feet angrily and her cell phone happened to ring at this moment.
She picked it up and hollered furiously, "Get straight to the point, I'm busy!"
The person who called was clearly stunned. After a long time, she said timidly, "Jin...Jinyi, it's me, Sangsang. Can you...come accompany me?"
Yan Jinyi asked with raised eyebrows, "Huh?"
"My aunt insists on introducing me to a guy, I couldn't refuse so I had to meet him."
'Tan Sangsang has gone on a blind date?'
Yan Jinyi sat up straight and said, "What does he look like?"
"I don't know, he hasn't arrived yet but I heard that he works as a manager in a government-owned enterprise and he's very cultured. He doesn't know that I'm a mother of one yet. Jinyi, I..."
"Give me the address, I'll come right over."
Although we're now living in a modern society, many women tend to still face criticism for having children out of wedlock.
Besides, the blind dates arranged by a relative would often end badly.
Tan Sangsang was a very pure, innocent, and gullible girl who would get bullied easily. In case she gets bullied this time, who would stand up for her if she was alone?
Tan Sangsang had no idea what Yan Jinyi was thinking but she quickly sent her address to Yan Jinyi.
The place was quite far from the Huo family estate.
"Okay, if he bullies you, just retaliate. You can splash water at him or smash a cup at him. Whatever you do, I'll back you up."
Amused by her words, Tan Sangsang said, "Jinyi, it's not that dramatic."
"It can be."
She headed upstairs and casually grabbed a jacket. After thinking about it, Yan Jinyi changed her mind and carefully picked out a suit that had a conspicuous brand logo.
'Make myself look rich and impressive? I'm best at that. I have to be prepared in case that man turns out to be a snob.'
By the time Yan Jinyi arrived, Tan Sangsang had already begun chatting with her blind date.
The man was an ugly and chubby man who seemed to be balding.
"Sangsang."
As soon as she heard Yan Jinyi's voice, Tan Sangsang felt as if she had seen her savior. She quickly turned around and waved at Yan Jinyi. "Jinyi, I'm here, quick, come take a seat."
When the man saw Yan Jinyi, a trace of amazement flashed in his eyes and he grinned especially widely when he saw the brand logo of her clothes and purse.
