“Why would the reporters know?”


  Zhao Xinchen snapped furiously, “Well, the wife of the injured worker who insisted that the accident happened because you couldn’t bear to spend the money on good equipment and even claimed that it was our improper supervision that caused her husband to fall from the ladder.”


  ‘I can’t bear to spend the money?’


  Yan Jinyi laughed angrily. ‘I hired a professional construction company and the tools used are all provided by them. What does it have to with me?’


  “Sister Jinyi, that woman is trying to play the sympathy card now by saying that her family is struggling to make ends meet. Now that her husband, the sole breadwinner of their company is hospitalized and unable to work, they don’t have enough money for their children’s school fees. She insists that we compensate her for the losses, cover his medical expenses, follow-up nutrition, their children’s school fees, and the living expenses of their family.”


  “No, we’re not going to compensate. Call the police and drive those reporters out too.”


  She hung up angrily and said, “Let’s go home.”


  Sensing the fury that Yan Jinyi was exuding, she shuddered slightly and asked, “Second…Second Sister-in-law, what happened?”


  “It has nothing to do with you, let’s go home.”


  As soon as they arrived at the Huo Family’s residence, Yan Jinyi learned from Zhang Guoquan that she was on the news.

  Now, the entire Internet was discussing the destruction of Second Young Mistress Huo’s image, as well as the incident involving the construction. There were claims that the worker who was involved in the construction of the resort had gotten injured because of faulty equipment but Yan Jinyi refused to compensate for it.

  In short, they smeared her as much as possible.

  After all, it was a matter that involved a top luxurious family. The reporters had even gone to the Huo Group to block their entrance.

  The matter was actually quite trivial and it could be solved with money. However, the injured worker’s wife kept throwing tantrums and insisting that Yan Jinyi was carrying out a deliberate murder.

  After listening to Zhang Guoquan’s report, Yan Jinyi was furious and amused by how absurd it was.

  ‘Deliberate murder? What would I do that for?’


  ‘Am I after his ugly face or do I want him because he’s so poor that he’s poor and has had four kids?’


  Most people hate the rich and would criticize or mob them whenever they’re embroiled in a controversy.

  It was rare for Huo Xishen to come early and as soon as he entered, he walked towards Yan Jinyi.

  Seeing this, Huo Qingyuan and Huo Zihang got a great shock. “Second Brother, stay calm. Second Sister-in-law is not to blame for this. The ladder fell off because the renovation company didn’t check it properly.”


  “Exactly, exactly, Second Sister-in-law didn’t really suffer a loss. That family is just being overboard by demanding that we compensate them with their children’s school fees and living expenses. How shameless!”


  Huo Xishen ignored the two of them and proceeded to sit next to Yan Jinyi. “Just leave it to me to handle.

  Yan Jinyi was a little surprised, and she looked to the side to meet his gaze.

  “Someone should have deliberately devised this plan. I’ll handle it.”


  She also felt that it was the deliberate plan of someone.

  The construction had been going on for a long period of time. Nothing happened previously and yet, something happened at this time.

  “Second Young Mistress Huo, one of the workers has accepted an interview with us and he said that he discovered that the screws of the ladder had come loose previously, and that he had informed you but you didn’t take it seriously. Now, you’re the target of public opinion…” At this moment, Zhang Guoquan chose to shut up.

  ‘A worker accepted an interview?’


  Yan Jinyi said with raised brows, “Let me take a look.”


  She canned the content of the interview, and sent a text message to Zhao Xinchen to ask him to come over.

  “Mr. Huo, I can handle this matter myself. You don’t need to do anything.”


  Huo Xishen was a little enraged. “How do you plan to handle this?”


  “I naturally have my own way of dealing with it, Mr. Huo. Just wait for the good news.”


  At this point, she glanced at Huo Xishen sultrily with a wink. “Mr. Huo, you should be glad that you’ve married such a sensible and intelligent woman.”


  ‘Glad?’


  Huo Xishen looked at her with a straight face.

  “Don’t look at me like that,” Yan Jinyi pretended to be shy. “I’ll think you’re attracted to my personality.”


  “…”


  Huo Qingyuan and Huo Zihang returned to their rooms one after another. ‘Forget it, how can Second Sister-in-law possibly be affected by this matter? She’s invincible!’
