Chapter 695: Stay By My Side, Darling

When passing by the flower bed in the yard, Yang Guifang plucked a handful of flowers.
‘These flowers must be very expensive. When I go back, I must find a pot and place these flowers in them. I’ll then put them on the balcony so that when we have guests over, I can tell them that it’s from the Black Cloud Fortress. How dignified must that be?’
It was not a place that just anyone can visit.
Zhao Xinchen told Yan Jinyi about Yang Guifang’s behavior as it was.
“How much does a handful of those flowers cost?”
“We bought it at wholesale price, it should be quite cheap.”
Yan Jinyi nodded. ‘As long as it’s cheap.’
‘Hmph, this is just the beginning. I will take back every penny that family took from me.’

Yang Qing was furious when she learned that Yan Jinyi refused to give her a membership card.
“Aunt, Yan Jinyi must have done it on purpose. Let’s bring the plan forward. The rave about Yan Jinyi’s movie will soon pass,” Leng Yuxi said, trying her best to convince Yang Qing.
She couldn’t wait to see Yan Jinyi’s despondent appearance. ‘When the time comes, I must go and humiliate that bitch severely.’
Yang Qing took a deep breath and looked at the secretary beside her.”How much money was raised from this donation?”
“Mr. Yang, I reckon that there is more than 30 million yuan now, more than half of which are raised by Yan Jinyi’s fans and acquaintances in the entertainment industry.”
‘It seems that Yan Jinyi’s fans are willing to spend money on her!’
“Yan Jinyi’s role as the spokesperson for this charity event should be known nationwide, right?”
“Yes, we’ve put up advertisements in various towns and villages, as well as the families chosen this time.”
Yang Qing nodded and patted Leng Yuxi’s shoulder. “Let’s just watch the good show unfold next.”
Yan Jinyi always felt that her eyelids were jumping these two days.
Tao Wei recommended her a good production, which was a suspense drama about the Republic of China. She was the female lead and she had agreed to join the crew in filming next month.
‘Could it be that something unexpected is going to happen again?’
Huo Xishen returned very early today but he had a murderous aura, which made all the people in the Huo Family’s manor flustered.
“Madam, is there a place that you want to go?”
Yan Jinyi was watching a soap opera. When she heard his words, she couldn’t help but look up at him with a doubtful gaze. “Huh?”
“I want to accompany you out for a walk.”
Yan Jinyi blinked and sized Huo Xishen up carefully. He was still as handsome as ever and he gave off an aloof vibe too.
He was the same old Huo Xishen she knew!
“You… Have you lost your memory?”
Huo Xishen’s face turned sullen and he said, “Darling, you’re going to start filming next month so let’s go out and get some exercise while you can.”
“We can exercise at home too!” Yan Jinyi winked at Huo Xishen and continued, “Or do you like staying outside, Mr. Huo? Ah, Mr. Huo, how can you do that?”
“This is the world map.” Huo Xishen unrolled the map and said, “Where do you want to go? Feel free to point to it.”
‘He really wants to take me out to play?’
Yan Jinyi was surprised. “Isn’t it very expensive to go out and play?”
Huo Xishen thought she was afraid of paying for it so he said, “Don’t worry, you can just follow me around. You don’t need to pay for it.”
“How about you give me the money that you were planning to spend on playing? The Black Cloud Fortress has just opened and I’m very busy. I’ll give it a rain check!”
Huo Xishen said in a rare gentle and coaxing tone, “Be good.”
“But…”
“Zhao Xinchen manages it quite well.”
‘That’s true but I have to keep an eye on my own business before I can be at ease.’
Yan Jinyi wanted to continue refuting but Huo Qingyuan quickly scurried in with her phone.
“Second Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law! Yang Qing is terrible. She even falsely accused you of embezzling the donations privately!”
As soon as she entered, Huo Qingyuan was greeted by Huo Xishen’s menacing gaze, which made her shiver and say, “Second…Second Brother, you’re back so early.”
