Chapter 173: I’m Afraid I Can’t Help Myself When I See Him
“It’d be good if they don’t come back too.”
Yan Jinyi said coldly, “I’m just scared that I can’t help myself when I see him.”
Huo Zihang and Huo Qingyuan’s eyelids twitched. They were well aware of the feud between the two of them.
‘Second Brother is so mean. Second Sister-in-law succeeded in her investment and she earned a huge fortune too. Why is her black card still terminated?’
Huo Qingyuan felt even more aggrieved because Huo Xishen had terminated her card too.
She was genuinely poor now. Had she known earlier, she would have told Yan Jinyi to credit the dividends to another account.
Suddenly, the tightly shut iron gate opened and several low-profile luxurious black cars were driven in slowly.
The first was Qin He and his arm was still hanging.
Qin He walked towards the car and opened the car door respectfully.
Wearing a white lab coat and still looking like a decent scum, Huo Chengyu alighted from the car and bent forward slightly to bow.
“Grandpa, we’re here.”
Finally, Yan Jinyi saw the legendary Old Master Huo.
The former Yan Jinyi did not have a deep impression of him, but rumor had it that he was nursing his ailment on a private island.
Old Master Huo’s name was Huo Xian and he used to be a powerful and influential figure in his younger days. He had a massive amount of wealth and was a shrewd person with all sorts of means.
Huo Xian was now 80 years old. Despite having a full head of white hair, he still looked extremely energetic.
He was dressed in a white Traditional Chinese costume with a cane in hand. He had thick eyebrows and a menacing look in his cloudy eyes. He stood still, emitting a mighty and formidable aura.
Huo Xian’s domineering aura was almost comparable to that of the mighty generals of her era.
Huo Chengyu helped Huo Xian slowly to the door.
“Grandpa, the tea is ready, please come in.” Shen Yan consciously walked to the other side of Huo Xian to support him.
Huo Zihang behaved in a slightly formal manner as he bowed respectfully. “Welcome home, Grandpa.”
Huo Qingyuan was much less nervous as she smiled brilliantly and said, “Grandpa, you’re finally back. Third Brother bullies me all the time.”
Huo Zihang glared at her.
Huo Xian nodded before finally looking at Yan Jinyi.
Yan Jinyi didn’t answer him and instead stared at him attentively with her hands behind her back.
“Jinyi, are you unhappy to see me?”
Huo Xian took the initiative to strike a conversation with Yan Jinyi who smiled and looked him in the eye naturally. “No, I just think you’ve become even more assertive than before.”
He found Yan Jinyi to be somewhat different. In the past, she would never dare to make eye contact with him.
“I heard that you’ve invested in a film yourself and the box office sales are soaring. Not bad.”
“You’re being too kind, Grandpa. Let’s head inside.”
Yan Jinyi gestured for him to enter.
Huo Xian was indeed very nice to her as he told her to sit down beside him just after he took his seat.
“That brat Xishen still hasn’t contacted you yet?”
Yan Jinyi thought about it and said, “He has, somewhat.”
“That’s good, if he treats you badly, just let me know.”
Huo Family had an intimidating aura and so, the majority of the younger generation of the Huo Family were afraid of him and would be extra cautious about what they said to him.
However, Yan Jinyi…
“Grandpa, you should really teach Xishen a good lesson. He’s so stingy. If not for Huo Qingyuan’s and Zhao Xinchen’s help, the film probably wouldn’t have been successful.”
“Oh, is that so? Are you very close to Zhao Xinchen?”
There was a look of curiosity in Huo Xian’s eyes after he heard her words.
“He wants me to protect him, so it’s only right that he pays me protection fees.”
‘That’s shocking. Jinyi can barely protect herself. When has she started protecting others?’
