"Hey, Yuxi is asking you a question, what's up with your attitude?" Seeing that Yan Jinyi didn't answer, the woman beside Leng Yuxi began to rebuke Yan Jinyi. "Are you the mistress of a rich man? This is not a place where you are fit to be in."
Yan Jinyi still remained silent.
Leng Yuxi had already done a brief check on Yan Jinyi's background and found out that she was from a powerless family in the village. It was said that she wasn't well liked by the Huo Family either.
'Hmph, do you really think you can become noble after you married Xishen? I'll make you regret it.'
A vicious gaze appeared in her eyes.
"Yuxi, look at the way she looks, she definitely isn't a good person. Get someone to come here and drive her out.
Leng Yuxi smiled and said with disdain, "All guests were welcome. Well, maybe the dessert served in our home is delicious. Leave her be, as long as she doesn't cause any trouble."
After saying that, she even condescendingly acted like she was giving Yan Jinyi something out of kindness. "Miss, these cupcakes made by our chef are delicious. You can bring some home."
She just wanted to humiliate Yan Jinyi.
'Xishen is the CEO of Huo Group, how can he possibly marry such a bumpkin!?!'
Yan Jinyi picked up a cupcake and shoved it into her mouth. Leng Yuxi wanted to take the opportunity to mock her again but Yan Jinyi suddenly vomited it again.
She frowned and said with a look of disdain, "It does taste quite awful. Seems like the tastes and preferences of you people from the Bai family are different from that of ordinary people!"
"You!"
Leng Yuxi was enraged. Seeing that many of her friends and classmates were around, she had no choice but to suppress her anger and put on a high and mighty look.
"The ingredients are expensive, maybe this lady isn't used to it. There are lots of other snacks, do give them a try. It's my birthday today, don't blame me for being unceremonious if you create trouble."
While speaking, she deliberately took two glances at Yan Jinyi.
'Apart from her looks, this woman is inferior to me in every aspect. Xishen must be after a sense of novelty. Once he's sick of her, he'll return to me.'
Leng Yuxi kept comforting herself.
Huo Xishen was seated sluggishly on the sofa in the study of the Bai family's home.
There was an extremely stern-looking middle-aged man opposite him.
"Xishen, your father was our best friend when he was alive. At that time, we joked that we would definitely become in-laws in the future," Bai Hongguang said, looking rather stern as he was seated on the single chair.
Huo Xishen was still rather respectful towards Bai Hongguang. "He was indeed joking."
Bai Hongguang frowned and said, "Xishen, you obviously know what I mean! That woman is incompatible with the Huo Family and she's an actress too. In terms of background, education, and knowledge, she can't compare to Yuxi at all. Are you sure you want to continue being married to her?"
Huo Xishen hated to hear Yan Jinyi being compared to others. A look of displeasure immediately appeared on his face and he said, "I'm just calling you Uncle Bai on the account of my father."
Bai Hongguang was stunned. "If your grandfather and that woman's grandfather hadn't had an agreement, would you have still married her?"
Huo Xishen answered truthfully, "No."
"If that woman doesn't exist in your life, would you have married my daughter?"
Huo Xishen did not reply immediately this time. Instead, he glanced at Bai Hongguang and answered after a few seconds, "Never."
Bai Hongguang suddenly sighed.
"You should know that Yuxi almost died when she was born, so everyone in our family dotes on her very much. I'm not being unreasonable either, but I hope you won't hurt her."
Huo Xishen's face eased up and and he said, "As long as she doesn't create trouble, I'm not interested in confronting her."
However...
Bai Hongguang began to feel conflicted again. Given Leng Yuxi's foul temper, it was impossible that she wouldn't create trouble.
It was Christmas today so Yan Jinyi planned to make Huo Xishen some food.
At this moment, Yan Jinyi was reading the recipe and studying it carefully. After ransacking the entire refrigerator, she suddenly remembered a dish that Tan Sangsang made for her a few days ago.
Yan Jinyi asked, "Mr. Huo, how about I make you a sew of chicken and mushrooms?"
Huo Xishen closed his laptop and asked, "What did you say?"
Yan Jinyi swung the food ingredients and exclaimed, "Chicken and mushroom stew!"
Huo Xishen suddenly stood up and picked Yan Jinyi up by the waist.
"Damn it, what are you doing!?!"
"Darling, we can stew each other."
