Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Why? Have you all been bribed by Leng Yuxi so soon?” Leng Yuxi mocked, “I’m the daughter you’ve raised for over two decades. Leng Yuxi means nothing at all. Must you all be so heartless and ruthless?”
Leng Jing looked a little pale. She felt that she had always treated Leng Yuxi very well.
“Leng Yuxi, who allowed you to speak to Mom that way? If you hadn’t made a mistake repeatedly, you’d still be our family even if your misdeeds were exposed.”
Yan Jinyi’s parents had passed away a long time ago anyway. They could have gone through the formal adoption procedures and no one would dare to say a word about it.
Leng Yuxi had brought it all upon herself. She had completely depleted the Bai family’s love towards her.
“All you do is take the moral high ground. All of you are the same. You’re all in cahoots with Yan Jinyi. Get lost, I don’t want to see you guys at all!”
Leng Yuxi began throwing things around the room hysterically like a lunatic.
Bai Moliang was quick to react as he hurriedly protected Leng Jing and Yan Jinyi behind him. “Let’s go out. She’s hopeless.”
Leng Jing’s eyes were reddened and filled with a complicated gaze as she looked at Leng Yuxi. “Yuxi, I hope you can turn over a new leaf and live life well. You deserve to be punished for killing your biological grandmother.”
“She’s not my grandmother. She’s not!”
Leng Yuxi broke down completely. “I’m the heiress of the Bai family, not the granddaughter of such a woman. You guys are crooks who want to snatch away my identity!”
“There are some things that I’d like to say to you in private.”
Yan Jinyi suddenly said.
Bai Moliang rejected without even thinking. “No, I’ll accompany you here.”
“Why? She still has cuffs on her legs. She can’t possibly eat me up, can she?”
Bai Moliang hesitated for a while before leaving with Leng Jing.
Huddled up at the corner of the bed, Leng Yuxi began muttering to herself, her eyes all glassed over and out of focus.
“Tsk, tsk, poor girl.” Yan Jinyi shook her head and said, “This should be the last time I’m seeing you. Yuxi, I’m about to give birth to the child of your beloved Xishen very soon.”
“Child?”
Leng Yuxi suddenly raised her head and barked, “Liar! Xishen would never let a woman like you be pregnant with his child.”
“Would he impregnate you then? You’re already in your twenties but why are you so brainless? Your parents and brother don’t want you anymore. You’ve even killed your biological grandmother…”
“G-Get lost. I didn’t do it. You’re clearly the one who killed her and yet, you assumed my identity. Shameless wench, you’re going to die a horrible death!”
Yan Jinyi glanced at Leng Yuxi who was behaving like a lunatic, and humphed coldly after a moment. She then turned around to leave.
“You’re out of your mind.”
Regardless of whether Leng Yuxi was in the right state of mind or not, it was only a matter of time before she really becomes a mental patient.
Some were willing to live in despair but some were willing to die.
It was only a matter of choice.
It was already nighttime by the time she returned home. The weather was pleasant today, with shining stars all over the sky. It was beautiful.
After changing into a comfortable set of home clothes, Yan Jinyi was ready to go to Huo Qingyuan’s room but when she passed by the study, she realized that Huo Xishen had already returned.
Assistant Wen stood next to him respectfully. Huo Zihang and Huo Zihang were both around. They should have just been scolded as they were seated on the couch with their heads hung low.
“Hey, it’s quite crowded!”
Yan Jinyi swaggered over.
Usually, Huo Xishen would definitely pour her some water and ask her what she had done.
However, there seemed to be something wrong with Doggy Huo today!
“Are you stupid?”
Yan Jinyi interjected again. Huo Xishen finally closed her laptop before turning to look at her coldly. “Darling, are you pleased with the meal today?”
“Huh?”
Faced with Huo Xishen’s gaze, Yan Jinyi couldn’t help but feel a little diffident. “Haha, yes. I even went to visit Leng Yuxi with Bai Moliang and his mother.”
Chapter 929: Sangsang Will Sleep With Me Tonight
“Darling, there should be something else you’re happy about.”
Yan Jinyi asked with a look of innocence, “What are you referring to, Mr. Huo?”
Huo Xishen suddenly stood up and the other people in the room subconsciously shuddered.
Yan Jinyi seemed extremely calm, which was rather surprising. Seeing that he was walking towards her, she even puffed her cheeks up and asked, “Why? Are you going to beat me up for having hotpot with Bai Moliang?”
Huo Xishen suddenly reached his hand out but Yan Jinyi subconsciously took a step back.
Huo Zihang, Huo Qingyuan, and Assistant Wen all thought that Huo Xishen wanted to hit her but he merely placed his hand on her head and rubbed her hair gently.
“Since your wish has come true, do you have time to pick an infant’s cot now?”
Yan Jinyi had a look of bewilderment in her eyes.
“Grandpa plans to turn a guest room on the second floor into a room for our baby.”
‘A baby’s room!’
Tan Sangsang used to live on a very tight budget but she had always been generous with Mumu. She even specially set up a baby’s room for him, which Yan Jinyi used to be envious.
“Who’s paying?”
“Not you.”
Yan Jinyi was relieved but Huo Xishen managed to successfully coax her.
The large study room instantly quieted down.
“Third Young Master, Miss, since there’s nothing else, I’ll go home first.”
Huo Zihang was rather green with envy too. He wanted to give his son a baby’s room as well.
“Ah, this doesn’t make sense at all. I want to get a boyfriend too!”
Huo Qingyuan patted her cheeks, feeling lonely as the only single there.
Even Mumu had a crush on a girl.
Huo Zihang hurriedly scurried back to the room to grab his keys.
*
Tan Sangsang had just coaxed Mumu to sleep. Recently, the publishing house planned to create a social media account that revolved around relationship advice and they wanted Tan Sangsang to be in charge of it.
She was currently collecting information and making appointments every single day.
After all, it was a famous publishing house and many people submitted their manuscripts. However, there were very few stories that touched her.
If they couldn’t touch her, how could they touch the readers?
“Sangsang, you’re just so stubborn. You can just make up a suitable story for this. There obviously aren’t going to be that many true stories.”
One of the main reasons that Tan Sangsang rejected most of the manuscripts was because they were all fabricated.
“We want real stories. We can write fake ones on our own too.”
Staring at Tan Sangsang who had her head buried in the computer, Mrs. Tan couldn’t help but sigh.
All of a sudden, someone started knocking on the door.
“Continue helping me to open the door.”
Tan Sangsang pushed her glasses up her nose nonchalantly. However, she realized that it was taking a long time.
Just as she was about to get up to take a look, she saw Mrs. Tan taking Huo Zihang in.
“Third Young Master Huo, what are you here for?”
“I’m here to visit my wife and my son, and also to send some tonic to Mom.”
Huo Zihang said unabashedly.
“Who’s your mother? Mind your words.”
Huo Zihang ignored Tan Sangsang and instead, placed the tonic on the table. “Mom, have more of these tonics. They’re good for your health. Where’s Mumu?”
Mrs. Tan had a good impression of Huo Zihang because he had a glib tongue and a good heart. He was determined to coax Tan Sangsang despite her nonchalance towards him.
“He has just fallen asleep. Do you want me to wake him up?”
“It’s alright, let him sleep. It’s been a long day and I’d like to sleep over tonight. Can I…”
Tan Sangsang immediately refuted, “No, there’s no room for you here. If you can’t stay at home, go to a hotel.”
“I left my wallet at home because I was in a hurry to leave. Sangsang, can you bear to be that ruthless towards me?”
Huo Zihang said extremely aggrievedly. Tan Sangsang rubbed her temples and asked, “Don’t you know how to use mobile payments?”
“Why waste so much money on a hotel room when he can just stay over at our place? Zihang, you can sleep in Sangsang’s room. Sangsang shall sleep with me tonight,” Mrs. Tang chimed in.
