"Huo Qingyuan, how did I teach you normally? You're such a fool, serves you right for meeting scums like that something-Yan or whatever his name is."
"…"
The man's name is Zhou Yan.
However, Zhou Yan actually had the cheek to run to Huo Qingyuan and seek forgiveness, which made her feel absolutely disgusted.
As the party was about to begin, there were more and more people in the hall, many of whom Yan Jinyi didn't know. Seeing that Huo Xishen was surrounded by a bunch of big bosses, he downed a glass of red wine and went to the garden for a stroll.
The garden of the Bai family's manor was not even half as large as the Huo family estate. Yan Jinyi couldn't help but once again be amazed and wonder just how rich Huo Xishen was.
'When we get a divorce, will I be able to take half of his assets? Oh, right, and Old Master Huo's island, which Mu Mu has already agreed to give me.'
At the thought of it, Yan Jinyi suddenly felt that her mood had been boosted. 'Huo Zihang has done quite a good job for that. I'd better treat him well when I go back.'
"Hey, it's you, little girl!"
Just as she was pondering about it, she suddenly heard a female voice, which made her subconsciously turn her head to the side, only to see that there was a noble lady walking towards her.
The light of the street lamp allowed her to get a clear glimpse of the lady's looks, which she found to be rather familiar.
Yan Jinyi carefully recalled and came to a sudden realization. 'Oh, right, she's that rich woman I encountered at the airport!'
Thinking that she ought to form better connections with the wealthy, Yan Jinyi walked towards her smilingly. "What a coincidence, Madam. I didn't expect to see you here."
"My thoughts exactly." The noblewoman stepped forward and took Yan Jinyi's hand before patting it affectionately. "I've been thinking about you since that time we met and it seems we're fated with each other. Are you also here to attend the birthday party?"
"Yes."
The noblewoman took a good look at Yan Jinyi again and felt that although she had gained some weight, she had become much prettier.
She had somehow taken a great liking to Yan Jinyi.
"Young lady, what's your name?"
"Yan Jinyi."
"Yan Jinyi!"
The woman repeated, "That's a really nice name. Oh, right, it happens that my son is also here today. My son is really handsome. Jinyi, do you have some time today? How about I take you to meet him?"
The corners of Yan Jinyi's mouth twitched. 'How long has it been? She's still thinking of promoting her son and trying to set him up with me.'
The lady was well-dressed and graceful. She was obviously from an extremely affluent family.
'Why is she so eager to find a girlfriend for her son when they're so wealthy? There must be something wrong with her son!'
"Auntie, I..."
"Ah, the birthday party is starting, let's go in together. I'll take you to see my son later."
Not giving Yan Jinyi a chance to finish her sentence, the noblewoman pulled her into the hall.
Huo Qingyuan had gone somewhere while Huo Xishen was still socializing with other businessmen. Yan Jinyi couldn't help but purse her lips. 'They're pretty busy, huh!?'
As the melodious sounds of the piano filled the air, a man and a woman appeared at the corner on the second floor.
Yan Jinyi knew who the man was. It was the annoying Bai Moliang whom she hated.
As for the woman... She was wearing a gown that was obviously designed in Shen Yan's style. She was holding Bai Moliang's arm and smiling sweetly.
'That must be Leng Yuxi who has been coveting Huo Xishen for years.'
Her features weren't very exquisite but her makeup was nice.
The noblewoman was a little excited. "Jinyi, look, that's my son. What do you think of him? He's very handsome, isn't he? He can totally measure up to those young and popular male idols these days, right?"
'Her son? Bai Moliang?'
Yan Jinyi was stunned and she couldn't help but glance at the noblewoman.
'So this woman is the mother of Bai Moliang and Leng Yuxi? Damn it! I've been fooled! If I had known, I shouldn't have done a good deed that day.'
