“If you hurry up and get lost now, no one will take your child away from you then,” Huo Zihang said with disgust.
Yan Jinyi nodded and said, “Huo Zihang has a point. We’re not unreasonable anyway. If you take your child away and never show up in front of us again, no one will separate you from your child, don’t you agree?”
“But I want to give my child a complete family. Mr. Huo, I won’t stop you from getting married and having children with another woman. I just hope that you will acknowledge this child.”
“Acknowledge, my foot!”
Huo Zihang was on the verge of cursing. ‘What’s wrong with me? Why are so many women claiming to be pregnant with my child?’
“Miss Yan, if the child really belongs to our family, we will certainly…”
“Grandpa, we agreed that I’d be handling this,” Yan Jinyi interjected. Holding the feather duster, she walked towards Yan Xin and helped her to the sofa in an exceptionally gentle manner. “It’s not good for pregnant women to stand for too long. If you end up passing out and leaving this place unconscious, the media might make a big issue out of it and accuse our family.”
Smiling awkwardly, Yan Xin said, “I’m not that weak, thank you, Second Young Mistress Huo.”
“You’re not weak, huh? Can you understand simple English now?” Yan Jinyi questioned coldly as she returned to her seat.
‘What does she mean by that?’
There was some displeasure in Yan Xin’s eyes.
“Since you want to marry into our family, I reckon you must have more or less found out about our family background.”
“Second Young Mistress Huo, I wonder…”
Yan Jinyi smiled and said, “We have a tradition.”
‘Here it comes, that mysterious and non-existent tradition of the Huo family is back!’
Huo Zihang was all ears.
Huo Xian couldn’t help but sit straight as he stared at Yan Jinyi. ‘Since when is there a tradition in the Huo family?’
Yan Jinyi wasn’t eager to answer. She picked up the cup of milk on the coffee table and began drinking it slowly.
Seeing that she didn’t intend to continue speaking, Yan Xin looked at the other people present, only to realize that none of them were paying attention to her.
She subconsciously gripped her skirt tightly and said tenderly with a smile, “Second Young Mistress Huo, please tell me, what tradition is it?”
Yan Jinyi looked at her, put down the glass, and asked, “I thought you weren’t interested.”
“Of course I’m interested, I’d like to find out more about the family too.” As she spoke, she stroked her baby bump gently with a kind expression. “In the future, I can tell my child more about the family and let him or her understand his father’s family better.”
‘This woman is even more cunning than the previous one.’
Unfortunately, she was facing Yan Jinyi.
“We have high requirements for our family members’ physique. Can you take a beating?”
“Huh?” Yan Xin was stunned.
Without uttering another word, Yan Jinyi picked up the feather duster and hit Huo Zihang’s buttocks.
Huo Zihang was caught off guard as he was just standing up to stretch and move his limbs!
Clutching his buttocks and blushing, he thought, ‘How can Second Sister-in-law hit my butt in front of outsiders?!’
Yan Xin was horrified. ‘Huo Zihang is known to take revenge where it’s due, but his second sister-in-law actually hit him!’
Shen Yan and Huo Xian were just as shocked.
‘So this is the family tradition? Ah not bad, being tolerant towards beatings is a good tradition. Jinyi is very much like me when I was young and vigorous. She’s a good granddaughter-in-law.’
“Did you see that? Is your skin thick enough? Let me beat you up a few more times, if you can stand it, I’ll allow you to marry into our family.”
Yan Xin subconsciously had her pupils constricted while she forced a smile and said, “I’m still pregnant, if I get hit…”
