“Don’t you think you’re going too far, Second Young Mistress Huo?” Tang Qing’s assistant finally couldn’t help but speak up.
Yan Jinyi raised her eyebrows, whistled and cocked her head sideways to look at Tang Ke. “So, Mr. Tang’s assistant, in your eyes, the Huo family is not even worth 100,000 yuan, huh?
Hearing her words, the assistant panicked. “Mr. Tang, that’s not what I meant. I…”
Tang Qing waved his hand impatiently and said, “Enough, go back.”
The assistant hurriedly nodded.
He felt that Yan Jinyi was asking for too much.
‘Mr. Tang has already lost several million yuan because of her!’
“Prepare 100,000 yuan for Second Young Mistress Huo.” At this point Tang Qing paused and asked, “Second Young Mistress Huo would you prefer cash or a bank transfer?”
Yan Jinyi tossed a candy into her mouth and said, “I wouldn’t mind if you give me 100,000 in cash and another 100,000 via bank transfer.”
‘How brazen.’
Tang Qing crossed his arms and rested his chin in one hand while staring at Yan Jinyi.
She seemed to have carried a lot of snacks with her. After finishing the candy, she took out a bag of dried crispy noodles from her backpack.
The crunchy sounds of her munching on the dry noodles were surprisingly pleasant.
When Yan Jinyi tilted her head and poured the crushed dry noodles into her mouth, Tang Qing pursed his lips while his Adam’s apple bobbed.
He suddenly found the crispy noodles to be extremely appetizing.
“Second Young Mistress Huo, you’re eating so much junk food and snacks, aren’t you afraid of gaining weight?”
Yan Jinyi paused and glanced at Tang Qing in disdain. “Mr. Tang, are you being sour grapes because you’re jealous?”
‘What!?! Does she think I want to eat that lousy snack?’
‘What a joke!’
‘Fine, the way she eats does make the snack look appetizing.’
Soon, Yan Jinyi received a text notification of the funds being deposited into her account. Looking at her bank balance, she smiled radiantly.
She slowly picked up her cell phone and chugged the glass of water on the table in one go. She then stood up and said, “In this case, I shall not disturb you any further.”
Tang Qing glared at her.
‘Damn it! What a heartless woman.’
‘She has conned me of more than 100,000 yuan!’
“Anyway, that old fox Huo Xishen is not here. Second Young Mistress Huo, will you do me the honor of letting me treat you to a meal?”
“Sorry, people who aren’t as roguish as me will basically never be able to get to go on a date with me, unless…” Yan Jinyi smiled unrestrainedly and said, “I’m in a good mood.”
After saying that, she left without looking back.
‘More roguish than her? Am I not roguish enough?’
Tang Qing slipped into deep thought and furrowed his thick brows. Pointing at the underling who was the nearest to him, he said, “You, come here.”
The underling immediately nodded and walked to Tang Qing.
Tang Qing pointed to his nose and asked with a serious expression, “Aren’t I a hooligan?”
“Yes, Boss, you’re the greatest hooligan in this world!”
Tang Qing suddenly kicked him and asked, “What did I instruct you to do? We’re now good citizens of society, you have to address me as Mr. Tang. Try calling me Boss again.”
The underling nodded.
‘Boss, you’re such a rogue, just like Second Young Mistress Huo. You two are such gangsters.’
In high spirits because she was one step closer to fulfilling her dream of buying a mountain, Yan Jinyi hummed a merry tune and headed home. As soon as she entered, she saw Huo Xian who was seated on the couch.
Shen Yan was standing behind him and massaging his shoulders.
‘Didn’t old man Huo say he was going to stay at a friend’s house for a few more days? Why is he back so soon?’
Yan Jinyi stood in place for a few seconds, zipped up her jacket, neatened her hair again and then walked towards him in a ladylike manner.
She first winked at Shen Yan before smiling and greeting Huo Xian. “Grandpa, why are you back so soon?”
Huo Xian seemed to be furious but when he saw Yan Jinyi, he mellowed down and his expression eased up. “Jinyi, you’re back. Have a seat.”
‘Huh? Why does the atmosphere seem a little strange?’
