Huo Xian coughed and asked, “Jinyi, what do you mean Xishen terminated your black card?”
Angered by that question, Yan Jinyi placed the potato chips on the coffee table and then glared at Huo Xishen with her hands on her hips. “Grandpa, your grandson is so evil. He terminated my black card just because I invested 100 million yuan of his money in a film!”
With her arms flailing about, Yan Jinyi exclaimed, “That’s not all. The returns on the film investment were credited to Huo Qingyuan’s card, but he terminated hers too!”
Huo Qingyuan nodded with tears in her eyes.
‘But Second Sister-in-law, those are my share of the returns. Yours are still in your account!’
However, despite being well aware of everything, she couldn’t say it out loud and had no choice but to play along with Yan Jinyi and to prove that the latter was poor!
“I married Huo Xishen at a young age and I deserve some reward for my hard work even if I’m not given credit. He made me stay in a dark storeroom and didn’t show me the respect I deserve. Even Huo Zihang’s lover had the audacity to bully me. I can forget about that, but now, Huo Xishen even terminated my card…” Yan Jinyi forced herself to tear up before continuing, “I-I was so hungry on set, but I didn’t even have any money to buy myself some food. Grandpa, don’t you agree that he’s a dog? Isn’t he being too much!?”
Huo Xian frowned and stared at Huo Xishen. “Is what Jinyi said true?”
“Yes.”
He slammed the cane hard onto the ground and snapped, “Nonsense, Jinyi is your wife, but you terminated her card because of 100 million yuan? Besides, the film that Jinyi invested in has now become a blockbuster film and the box office sales are soaring! The stock price of TG Entertainment is soaring too. Based on this reason alone, you shouldn’t have terminated her card!”
Yan Jinyi quickly nodded and said, “Grandpa, I’m so pitiful. The production team asked for additional funds, but I was at my wits’ end so I had no choice but to ask Zhao Xinchen for help.”
Huo Zihang and Huo Qingyuan watched as Yan Jinyi pretended to be innocent and vulnerable.
‘Second Sister-in-law, touch your heart and ask yourself if this is eating at your conscience.’
‘You live in luxury everyday and you’d hit others for no reason when you’re bored. How is that being at your wits’ end?’
Remaining composed, Huo Xishen said, “Jinyi has been hot-tempered lately. If she has too much money on her hands, she’ll get into trouble easily.”
“Dog, who are you calling hot-tempered?”
With raised brows, Huo Xishen looked at Yan Jinyi and seemed to be saying, “What do you think?”
“Jinyi, it’s Grandpa’s birthday today, let’s not talk about those issues. If you need money, you can let me know,” Shen Yan said, stepping forward to cut off the eye contact between Yan Jinyi and Huo Xishen.
‘Shen Yan is indeed a gentle and demure beauty. Look, she’s so pretty!’
Yan Jinyi immediately smiled and said, “Sister-in-law, you’re being too kind.”
She then glared at Huo Chengyu coldly again.
‘What are you doing being so aloof towards such a wonderful wife? Are you blind to have an opinion against her?’
Huo Chengyu was confused. ‘Did I offend Jinyi?’
“Okay, it’s getting late, you should all go back to your rooms to rest! Jinyi, it’s my fault for failing to show you enough concern. Don’t stay in the storeroom anymore. Move back to Xishen’s room tonight. You two should be staying in the same room since you’re married.”
Yan Jinyi immediately leaped up.
‘Move to Huo Xishen’s room? You must be joking!’
“Nah, it’s alright, I’m doing well here. I love the storeroom and the storeroom loves me too!”
She then frantically winked at Huo Xishen.
‘Since you hate me so much, you definitely won’t want this to happen!’
To her surprise…
A smile graced Huo Xishen’s deceptive face and he said in his deep voice, “I’ve neglected my wife. My room is yours, you may move in whenever you please.”
