Yan Jinyi was sizing up Tang Qing too. She didn’t have a good impression of him.

  The fact that he had invested in ‘Islander’ was the reason that she had to force herself to bite the bullet and ask Huo Qingyuan and Zhao Xinchen to invest.

  In the end…


  Huo Qingyuan’s card got terminated by Huo Xishen.

  ‘Damn it!’


  ‘Huo Xishen is a sly, cunning, and unsympathetic dog. Tang Qing is a bastard who specially creates trouble for me!’


  “Are you Second Young Mistress Huo?”


  Tang Qing pointed at Yan Jinyi.

  “Why are you asking the obvious?”


  ‘She really is!’


  ‘Is the female lead of ‘Female Fortress Leader’ Second Young Mistress Huo?’


  ‘Huo Xishen actually made his wife act in a romantic film alongside another man. I take my hat’s off to him for his magnanimity.’


  However…


  Tang Qing squinted and said, “Second Young Mistress Huo, you’re appearing so brazenly on my turf and you let me find out your identity. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll expose you?”


  Not feeling threatened by him at all, Yan Jinyi said, “If you’re a man, don’t be a blabbermouth. It’s not an embarrassing thing to be Second Young Mistress Huo. If you expose my identity, everyone will be afraid of me. What’s so bad about that?”


  Tang Qing noticed the gusto in her voice as he stared at Yan Jinyi’s pretty face. It was the first time a woman dared to talk to him in such an assertive and masculine manner.

  Facing Tang Qing’s blatant gaze, Yan Jinyi was displeased and was about to speak when Shen Yan stepped forward to stand in between them.

  “Mr. Tang, what do you mean? Is the Huo Family not allowed to attend your auction?”


  Tang Qing was rather amazed by Shen Yan who had married Huo Chengyu because of business relations. Albeit Huo Chengyu’s indifference towards her, she still put her heart and soul into managing the affairs of the Huo Family.

  “Young Mistress, you’re making it sound too serious. Why would I dare to stop the Huo Family members from entering?” As he spoke, he looked at Yan Jinyi again. “I’m just curious about why Second Young Mistress Huo wants to put that wooden bangle up for auction.”


  “What are you curious for?”


  “I’m curious about the origin of that wooden bangle. It looks like it was carved out of ordinary wood carved, but there must be something outstanding about it to be worth the price of 200,000 yuan.”


  Shen Yan couldn’t help but look at Yan Jinyi. When Yan Jinyi took out the wooden bangle and was about to put it up for auction, she stood against it.

  With a mysterious smile, Yan Jinyi asked, “Mr. Tang, are you very curious about the origin of my bangle?”


  Tang Qing nodded.

  “It has a significant origin. I promise you’ll get a great shock after hearing it, Mr. Tang.”


  Tang Qing had to admit that Yan Jinyi had already completely aroused his curiosity. He bent forward slightly to move his handsome face close to Yan Jinyi’s in a bid to charm her with his good looks.

  In the end…


  Yan Jinyi glanced at him sultrily with watery eyes, looking absolutely gorgeous.

  Tang Qing’s Adam’s apple bobbed and he said, “Second Young Mistress Huo, go ahead and tell me how shocking it is.”


  “Do you want to know?”


  Tang Qing nodded.

  Yan Jinyi suddenly stopped smiling and took a step back expressionlessly. “Mr. Tang, if you want to know, just buy the bangle. When the auction is over, I’ll tell you the origin of the bangle, how does that sound?”


  ‘She wants me to spend 200,000 yuan on a wooden bangle?’


  Yan Jinyi continued, “Oh, I forgot that you’re a pauper, Mr. Tang. You can’t even afford 2,000 yuan, let alone 200,000.”


  Tang Qing exclaimed with a sullen expression, “Who said that? I’m not any poorer than Huo Xishen!”


  ‘That dog Huo Xishen is so stingy. He definitely has a considerable sum of savings. How can you compare to him?’


  “Wow, turns out you’re so rich, Mr. Tang.” Yan Jinyi applauded and continued, “Mr. Tang, you must buy the bangle during the auction then. No matter how expensive it might be, you must buy it. Or else, you’ll definitely regret!”
