Chapter 39: You're So Ugly And You Have A Foul Mouth Too

編集者: Dragon Boat Translation

Seated by the desk, Huo Qingyuan raised her chin and looked at Yan Jinyi arrogantly from above, as if trying to tell her, "What can you do to me?"

Not bothered at all, Yan Jinyi shrugged her shoulders and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to copy it?"

"Do you really take yourself as the second Young Mistress of the Huo Family? You have no right to order me around," Huo Qingyuan rebutted with a look of disdain. 

"Yeah, but people always do what I say." 

"What do you mean?"

She squinted, straightened her body, and took a few steps back. "Miss Huo, your cheeks are slightly puffy, which is not a good thing. I can't help but beat up people who look too ugly and have a foul mouth. For the sake of your safety, Miss Huo, you'd better just not eat at all."

After saying that, she decisively closed the door, took out the key, and locked it. 

When Huo Qingyuan heard the sounds of the door being locked, she finally realized what Yan Jinyi had done. She dashed towards the door with a sullen expression and pulled the door as hard as she could. "Yan Jinyi, how dare you lock me up? You don't want to stay in the Huo Family anymore, do you?" 

It was silent outside the door. 

'Yan Jinyi, you wretched woman!' 

Huo Qingyuan gritted her teeth and yelled while banging on the door of the study, "Open the door! How can you lock me up because of someone whom the Huo family doesn't approve of!?! Yan Jinyi, open the door!"

Finally, Yan Jinyi's voice sounded outside the door. "Copy the 'Admonitions for Women' ten times. Once you're done, come out for dinner."

In other words, she meant that Huo Qingyuan would be forbidden from coming out unless she was done with the writing. 

Overwhelmed with fury, Huo Qingyuan turned around and tore the paper on the table into shreds. 

'Is this Yan Jinyi out of her mind?'

'Isn't it good to stay out of everyone's sight and be an insignificant person?'

'Why must she try so hard to make her presence known!?'

The maids downstairs had already finished preparing dinner. When they saw Yan Jinyi coming downstairs, they immediately swarmed towards her. 

"Second Young Mistress, when would you like to have dinner?" 

She glanced at the second floor and said, "I have something on tonight, I won't be eating." 

One of them was grounded in her room upstairs while the other was out with his useless friends. What's the point of dinner? 

She had important things to do! 

Due to the recent video that became viral and ended up on the hot search list, Yan Jinyi now had 200,000 fans on Weibo. She chose to head to her appointment in the Huo Family's car. 

There were rumors of Shenyang being chaotic recently. She was afraid of death and was worried that someone might deal with her! 

The car pulled over at the entrance of a western restaurant with an ancient European-style decor. 

In her high heels, Yan Jinyi strutted in, carrying a small bag with her. 

Soon, she saw a young woman sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

The young woman had obviously also seen her. She waved at her in an unusually excited manner. "Jinyi, you are finally here. Come and have a seat, quickly!"

After Yan Jinyi sat down, the woman eagerly grabbed her arm and said, "I've read the recent news about you. The Huo Family didn't give you a hard time, did they?"

Tilting her head to the side, Yan Jinyi asked, "Why would they do that?"

"Well, you've hit Third Young Master Huo. The people of the Huo Family are very protective of each other." 

'Oh right, it seems that the original owner did not tell her about her marriage with Huo Xishen.'

That woman was Tan Sangsang, the only friend of the original owner. She originally studied playwrights and choreography, but after graduating, she became a reporter for the news press. 

That was also the very reason that she took the initiative to contact Tan Sangsang, hoping to get some advice from her.

Yan Jinyi spoke to her in a gentle tone because Tan Sangsang looked rather delicate and weak.

"It's alright, I'm his idol." Yan Jinyi waved her hand and asked, "Didn't you say you have a suitable director to introduce to me?"

Tan Sangsang quickly nodded and said, "Yeah, he's a director whom I got to know when I was still a student. He's looking for an investor for his new movie. However, Jinyi, who asked you to help them invest?"

Young Mistress looked up and answered, "The second young mistress of the Huo Family." 

'What?'

Tan Sangsang widened her eyes in shock. "The second son of the Huo Family is married?" 

'That can't be. He's a highly mighty figure who's powerful and above all else. How can he get married? Shouldn't a deity like him stay single until death?'
