Huo Zihang dashed towards Yan Jinyi and exclaimed excitedly, “I’ve already prepared the plane tickets for you and the company has assigned an assistant to you. He will be tagging along then.”
‘A photo shoot in America?’
Yan Jinyi looked at Huo Zihang with a straight face. “Why do I have to go there?”
“Because the job is offered by an American magazine for the international edition. People all over the world will be able to see you then. Second Sister-in-law, it’s a perfect opportunity for you!”
“I can’t speak English well,” Yan Jinyi said especially seriously.
“Hah, that’s not a big deal, the assistant whom we will arrange for you can double as your translator, but…” Huo Zihang stared at Yan Jinyi and continued, “Second Sister-in-law, you… You may be the only one in the Huo family who does not speak English.”
Disagreeing, Yan Jinyi said, “You must be joking. I bet Huo Qingyuan can’t either.”
Huo Zihang hesitated, secretly calculating the probability of his own death if he told her the truth.
However, when he saw how Yan Jinyi had assumed things, he still couldn’t help but speak up, “You’re really the only one who can’t, English is the only subject Huo Qingyuan can pass in every exam. She spent two years living abroad in the past.”
Yan Jinyi shifted her gaze away from the phone screen and looked at Huo Zihang coldly with a murderous gaze.
Huo Zihang felt a chill down his spine. “Ahem, but that’s Huo Qingyuan’s only redeeming quality. Besides, English is difficult to pick up in the first place. I only managed to learn it properly after numerous harsh beatings from Grandpa and my brothers.”
After his explanation, Yan Jinyi said in displeasure, “I think you need a beating from me too.”
Huo Zihang shivered and thought, ‘I don’t seem to have done anything wrong!’
Immediately afterwards, Yan Jinyi cursed, “What’s the point of learning another language if I won’t use it all the time? There are so many pretentious people who forget their native language after learning a foreign language.”
She would absolutely not admit that she simply couldn’t pick it up.
“The shooting this time…”
“I’ll just take it that…”
“You will be shooting alongside with a Eurasian male model, and the remuneration is about hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
Yan Jinyi stepped forward and paused before turning around and asking, “How much?”
“A few hundred thousand.”
With a radiant smile, she said, “Ah, it’s a harmonious society that we live in today, and we ought to learn more about the rich culture of other countries. Well, Sister-in-law has been in a bad mood lately. Book a ticket for her too, I’ll accompany her out for a breather.”
In addition to being the daughter-in-law of the Huo family, Shen Yan was also a renowned fashion designer.
Yan Jinyi did not have a concept of that profession and merely knew that even the cheapest gown she designed would be worth more than a hundred thousand yuan.
Indeed…
He had to use money to tame Yan Jinyi into listening obediently.
‘No wonder she doesn’t like Second Brother.’
In the end, Shen Yan did not manage to go for the trip, but Huo Qingyuan followed her there.
Huo Zihang knew Yan Jinyi’s preferences very well and the assistant that he had arranged for her at the last minute was a hunk.
Looking at the male assistant who was clad in a suit and carrying a suitcase, Yan Jinyi wiped her mouth and asked, “What’s your name?”
“You can call me Han.”
“How old are you?”
“Sister Jinyi, I’ve just turned 20 this year, I’m an intern of the company.”
‘He’s only 20 years old!?! He’s younger than me, oh no. What do I do?’
She suddenly felt an urge to protect him.
Huo Qingyuan secretly sent Huo Xishen a voice message. “Second Brother, I’m here in America with Second Sister-in-law with a hunk. Be careful, she’s showing signs of making you a cuckold!”
