“Why hasn’t Madam Bai come over yet? Go and take a look.” Li Mingfang picked up her cup of tea and took a sip while looking at the exquisite bungalow in the distance.

  ‘Mrs. Bai?’


  Leng Jing’s face appeared in her mind.

  She’s here too?

  Soon, Leng Jing was invited over by the maid and she seemed to like wearing cheongsam dresses and which made her look extremely elegant.

  ‘It’s a pity that she has given birth to such a strange pair of children.’


  Since she earned that Yan Jinyi was Second Young Mistress Huo, Leng Jing’s attitude towards her began to change.

  ‘This girl is really nice but it’s a pity that I’m Yuxi’s mother.’


  She nodded at Yan Jinyi indifferently and chose to sit down at a spot that was the furthest away from her.

  “Madam Bai, you should have already met Second Young Mistress Huo, right?” Li Mingfang asked with a smile.

  The group of wealthy women looked at them with gossipy gazes. The entire upper-class circle knew that Mrs. Bai’s dearest daughter was in love with Huo Xishen.

  Leng Yuxi was notoriously arrogant and domineering. She would resort to all means to get whatever she likes.

  It was rare that Yan Jinyi could survive until now.

  “Mrs. Bai didn’t know me prior to this but she insisted that I be her daughter-in-law,” Yan Jinyi said teasingly, covering her lips with one hand.

  Hearing those words, the people among the audience were shocked.

  Leng Jing looked a little sullen but she remained dignified and elegant. “It’s all a misunderstanding, I was just cracking a joke with Second Young Mistress Huo.”


  Yan Jinyi covered her chest, “My young and tender heart can’t bear this kind of joke, so I decided to withdraw the gift I was going to give to Mrs. Bai.”


  ‘How could she have prepared a gift for me?’


  Yan Jinyi winked at Huo Qingyuan who immediately understood what she meant and took out a very beautiful magnetic card from her bag. “Mrs. Fu, this is the platinum membership card of the Black Cloud Fortress.”


  Everyone knew that it was difficult to get a table because business was booming at the newly opened Black Cloud Fortress, which was owned by Second Young Mistress Huo.

  Even an ordinary membership card is difficult to obtain, let alone a platinum membership.

  Such status symbols are usually more convincing and enticing than things like designer bags.

  Li Mingfang initially looked down on Yan Jinyi because she came from a humble background. However, she found the card in her hand to be rather pleasing to the eye.

  ‘She’s really worthy of being married to Huo Xishen, she knows the right things to do. She’s so much better than other wives of wealthy men.’


  She couldn’t help but look at Chen Yu who had given her a lousy bangle during their first meeting.

  If it were not for the fact that her husband’s business needed the help ov Chen Yu’s husband needs help, she probably wouldn’t have invited her to the tea party this time.

  Chen Yu noticed Li Mingfang’s somewhat hostile gaze of displeasure but she chose to ignore it and continued staring at the floral tablecloth.

  Yan Jinyi couldn’t stand watching a beautiful woman get bullied so she took the initiative to take Chen Yu’s arm and said with a sweet smile, “Mrs. Chen, you and I are similar in age, so we must have a lot in common. When would you like to come over to the Huo Family’s manor for a visit?”


  The Huo family manor was not a place that anyone can go.

  Even the matriarchs of extremely wealthy families like Li Mingfang and Leng Jing had never been there before.

  Hearing this, Li Mingfang felt was a little uncomfortable. “It seems like Second Young Mistress Huo and Mrs. Chen have hit it off well.”


  Yan Jinyi nodded. “That’s true, I like big beauties like Mrs. Chen.”


  She was implying that everyone else except Chen Yu were ugly.

  Leng Jing had already experienced how sharp-tongued Yan Jinyi was. She was quite close to Li Mingfang and they had even once intended for their children to marry each other.

  Although Li Mingfang’s son was not as talented and outstanding as Huo Xishen, he was at least born to a prestigious family. She would be at ease if Leng Yuxi were to marry him as a last resort.
