“Ahem, I can’t be bothered to fight with you on the account that you’re my Second Sister-in-law.”
Yan Jinyi glanced at him indifferently and threw the branch on the ground before placing her hands behind her back and striding into the mansion in front of her.
Huo Zihang followed behind her, his gaze fixed on her back.
A year ago, Yan Jinyi looked for the Huo Family out of her own accord and asked them to fulfill the marriage agreement that Huo Zihang’s grandfather had personally written.
Since his eldest brother was already married at the time, his Second Brother would naturally be the one to fulfill the agreement.
Huo Zihang and the other members of the Huo Family all had a vague impression of her.
She had always been timid and quiet. Whenever she returned home, she wouldn’t dare to raise her head to look at anyone. Even during meals, she would wait for everyone to finish eating, before sneaking into the kitchen like a thief.
Rumor had it that she was still an extra actor despite having joined the entertainment industry for three years.
He had always thought that she was ugly but she turned out to be a beauty.
Her skin, in particular, was supple and tender.
However, was Yan Jinyi actually that impressive?
‘Did her inner demon begin to grow and she started to stage an act with the family because she had been ignored by Second Brother for a long time?’
“Are your legs broken or were you born without them in the first place? Even those who are crippled can crawl faster than you.”
Yan Jinyi’s voice sounded again, and Huo Zihang touched his nose. Just as he was about to retort and insult her back, the spot on his body which had been hit by the broomstick began to hurt vaguely again.
‘This woman is really… so damned evil!’
The entire Huo Family manor was quiet, with only a few servants carefully cleaning at the side.
The luxurious decor of the room had also caught Yan Jinyi’s attention.
‘It’s beautiful. The furnishing style of this era is so special.’
She walked and looked around, touching here and there.
‘This black thing is a TV set, right? It’s amazing that the performances that opera singers star in can be seen by everyone through this.’
Huo Zihang secretly despised Yan Jinyi in his heart when he saw her sauntering around the yard like a big shot.
“Hey, Second Brother spent a bomb on that painting that he got from the auction. If you dare to dirty it, you’d better be careful, Second Brother will kill you!”
After hearing his words, Yan Jinyi glared daggers at Huo Zihang, causing him to feel a cold chill down his spine as he immediately kept his mouth shut.
‘Damn it, why is this woman so impressive? I actually see Second Brother’s shadow in her.’
“I’m going back to my room, call me when dinner is ready.”
Pointing at his nose, Huo Zihang asked in disbelief, “You’re actually making me inform you when it’s time for dinner?”
Yan Jinyi squinted and questioned coldly, “Why? Do you have any objections?”
‘Uh…’
The chilliness arose again.
Huo Zihang hurriedly shook his head and said, “I’ll call you.”
“That’s more like it.”
The Huo Family manor was very large. In addition to the main residence, there was a small mansion at the back that was dedicated to providing accommodation for the servants.
There were a total of four floors in the main residence and most of the rooms were empty.
Almost all of the masters of the house lived on the second and third floors.
Her room was at the very end of the second floor and was once used as a utility room.
Looking at the simple displays in the room, Yan Jinyi could hardly associate them with the luxurious furnishings downstairs.
However, the original owner had done a good job at cleaning the place and keeping it tidy.
Soon, her gaze fell on the photo frame on the bedside table.
It was a photo of a couple that had been enlarged.
‘It’s called a photograph in this era, right?’
The background was a festive red color and a man and a woman were standing side by side in the photo.
The barefaced young woman was extremely beautiful, and her smile was a little shy.
That woman was her.
To be precise, it was the former owner of this body.
The man beside her had a stern expression.
His features were exceptionally good-looking and his thin lips were pressed tightly together, without a single smile on his face.
In fact, he even looked a little disgusted and annoyed.
In her era, the owner of the world’s best manor was a handsome man who was famous for his good looks. However, the man in the photo was even better looking than that manor owner.
‘Is this Huo Xishen, my in-name husband, the Second Young Master of the Huo Family and the current helmsman of the Huo Family Group?’
In the former owner’s memory, Huo Xishen had gone to America to prepare for the setup of the new company after getting officially married to her. Since then, he had never returned.
‘Good that he’s not here, lest he get in the way of me committing adultery and looking for another man.’
