At this point, she frowned and asked, “Why did you ruin my performance?”


  ‘Performance?’


  Huo Xishen chided coldly, “If you get up to any nonsense again next time, you can just at home in peace.”


  “What do you mean by nonsense? You just haven’t seen how much of a shrew that woman was. I was being kind enough to just give her a slap.”


  With one hand on her waist, she said with a menacing expression, “Why are there always unruly citizens that are after my money?”


  Zhang Guoquan stood at the side and listened quietly.

  ‘Second Young Mistress Huo always says that Second Young Master is a stingy miser. Actually, the real miser of the Huo Family should be Second Young Mistress Huo…’


  ‘No wonder she asked me for a hundred yuan in cash when she went out just now. It turns out it was just meant for getting rid of that shrew!’


  ‘Second Young Mistress Huo is quite generous to have given her 100 yuan at least.’


  “Darling, shouldn’t you be telling me what you’re building that Black Cloud Fortress for?”


  Yan Jinyi immediately stopped being dejected and simply tugged at Huo Xishen’s tie shyly. “I was just thinking of being your virtuous better half by earning some money to contribute to the family.”


  Huo Xishen thought to himself with raised brows, ‘Can she really bear to contribute her money to the family?’


  Well, he ought not to look down on her.

  Once the Black Cloud Fortress opened, she would use it to attract the heirs of wealthy families. By then, it would really become a trump card of the Huo Family.

  Even if she were to really divorce Huo Xishen in the future, she would be able to use the Black Cloud Fortress to negotiate terms with the Huo Family.

  She wasn’t that silly as to spend so much money on building a place that’s somewhat like a resort.

  “Mr. Huo, didn’t you go to the office? Why did you rush home in such a hurry? Were you worried about me?”


  In the face of Yan Jinyi’s “seduction”, Huo Xishen remained ascetic, aloof, and withdrawn. “Darling, when do you plan to settle this matter?”


  Yan Jinyi knew that the reporters had gone to Huo Group and that the Huo Group’s share price had even been affected by this matter.

  “What’s the hurry? We haven’t found the mastermind yet,” Yan Jinyi said and reached her hand out to wipe Huo Xishen’s face. “My dear Mr. Huo is just so handsome.”


  “…”


  Yan Jinyi exclaimed with a sweet smile, “I’m going out tonight for something important. Mr. Huo, you don’t have to wait for me for dinner!”


  ‘Damn it, how dare you people bully me? I’m going to kill you scums.’


  It was almost evening. Yan Jinyi changed into an all-black sports attire and left. Zhao Xinchen was already waiting for her in his car at the entrance of the Huo Family’s manor, with Dong Xu riding shotgun.

  The two of them immediately greeted Yan Jinyi when they saw her.

  “Cut the crap, just leave.”


  “Rest assured, Sister Jinyi, you can just stay at the side and watch later. Leave the physical tasks to me and Dong Xu.”


  “Yes, this kind of garbage is not worthy of your effort.”


  They drove all the way to a shabby residential estate and pulled over at the entrance.

  The few residential buildings beside the estate were being demolished and there were numerous potholes on the ground. There wouldn’t be a single person passing by at night.

  Yan Jinyi leaned against the wall with a lollipop in her mouth, looking just like a female gangster.

  Soon, the worker who was being interviewed, was brought over by Dong Xu.

  She bit hard on the lollipop in her hand and spat out the stick. Yan Jinyi then took a step forward and asked, “Are you Zheng Jun?”


  Having done something against his conscience, Zheng Jun felt extremely guilty. Seeing that Yan Jinyi had brought so many people with her, he was terribly frightened.

  “Yes, yes, Second Young Mistress Huo, why are you looking for me at such a late hour?”


  “What do you think I’m here for?”


  “I… I… I don’t know, did I make some mistake at work?”
