Yan Jinyi’s broodiness lasted only for a short while. The next day, she was full of zeal again.
To put it bluntly, the tea parties that wives of rich men attend are just meant for showing off their limited edition designer goods and apparel. It’s also like a competition of whose husband loves them more and who has a better. life at home.
Yan Jinyi chose to wear the clothing of Shen Yan’s brand.
She was clad in a light pink dress with stilettos and her long hair coiled at the back of the head, secured with a jade hairpin that was diagonally inserted into it. Wearing light makeup on her face, she looked particularly pretty and eye-catching.
“Second Sister-in-law, you’re so pretty today. You’ll definitely be stunning when you meet those rich ladies later!”
Huo Qingyuan praised her as hard as she could and came close to Yan Jinyi. She said, “Second Sister-in-law, don’t you think you should bring someone to serve you so that you can highlight your status?”
Yan Jinyi grinned and asked, “Do you want to come along?”
Huo Qingyuan nodded profusely.
Her smile instantly stiffened and she said expressionlessly, “No, I’m not going to.”
“…”
This time, Huo Xishen spoke up for Huo Qingyuan, which was rather rare of him. “It’s good to bring her along.”
Huo Qingyuan looked at Huo Xishen gratefully.
‘For once, Second Brother is being caring to me!’
“Forget it, you’ll be responsible for communicating with those people later while I’ll responsible for handling the conversations involving interests.”
The tea party was held in a four-person garden of the Fu family, which was very cozy. There was a long table by the fountain, on which there was a large variety of exquisite desserts.
When Yan Jinyi arrived, almost all the seats were occupied.
A total of seven or eight people, except for two who were similar to her age. The rest were in their forties and fifties.
However, they were wives of wealthy men after all. Thus, they were willing to spend money on maintaining their beauty. Coupled with a long time of living in luxury, their aura and elegance were simply unparalleled.
“It’s you, Miss Huo,” said the wealthy lady sitting in the master seat, who smiled and beckoned towards Huo Qingyuan. “The one beside you is Second Young Mistress Huo, right? Please take a seat, both of you.”
Huo Qingyuan approached Yan Jinyi. “Second Sister-in-law, she’s Li Mingfang, the wife of the current chairman of the Fu Corporation.”
Yan Jinyi squinted and looked at Li Mingfang who looked different from that person’s mother in the era that she came from.
Li Mingfang was not as pretty as the lady from the ancient times, and also a lot less elegant.
‘Is it really just a coincidence? Or do they just coincidentally resemble each other and share the same name?’
Yan Jinyi’s arrival instantly attracted the attention of those present. They were all from the richest families and were very different from those wives of wealthy men that she had once met.
At least, they had done a good job at exchanging pleasantries on the surface.
“Second Young Mistress Huo, welcome to our little organization. May I take the liberty to ask, how old are you, Second Young Mistress Huo?”
“23 years old.”
Li Mingfang took over, “That’s one year younger than Mrs. Chen. Second Young Mistress Huo, you should be the youngest among us here.”
Lin Mingfang introduced the people here to Yan Jinyi. Her mannerisms were elegant and poised. It was no wonder that she was quite a prominent figure among the circle of wealthy men’s wives.
Yan Jinyi had never liked to remember the names of strangers. After being introduced to all of them, Yan Jinyi only remembered Mrs. Chen in addition to Li Mingfang. Mrs. Chen was her husband’s second wife and they shared the same last name. Her maiden name was Chen Yu and she had an aggressive beauty.
People would generally assume that she was a mistress because of the way she looked but her personality was actually the opposite of her ravishing and sultry beauty. She was a little mundane, timid, and shy.
Yan Jinyi’s first impression of her was great and she specifically exchanged seats with Huo Qingyuan so that she could sit beside Mrs. Chen.
‘Second Sister-in-law is being smitten again.’
