Chapter 679: My Name is Worthless
As Yan Jinyi expected, the topic of conversation was either about the gifts that their husbands had given them or about a certain wealthy man’s wife getting a divorce from because her husband cheated on her or something like that.
They were just as gossipy as the middle-aged women who gathered at the parade square to dance.
Yan Jinyi’s vision was getting dark as she listened to them speak. She was extremely sleepy and her eyelids were about to be shut when her phone suddenly rang.
It was an unfamiliar number, but the address on the caller ID turned out to be that of her old home.
Seeing that it was a phone call from home, she knew right away who it was that called.
If it was during usual times, she would not answer but now…
Looking at the wealthy women around her who were enjoying the conversation, she picked up her cell phone and said with a smile, “Excuse me, I have to take a call.”
“Go ahead, Second Young Mistress Huo, your business is booming now, it’s only understandable that you’re busy,” Li Mingfang said, appearing to be kind and understanding.
Yan Jinyi nodded perfunctorily and picked up the phone, and soon, an old voice came from inside.
“Jinyi, you are in Kai Le Garden now, right? Your cousin and I are waiting at the door.”
‘This voice does not sound like Chen Yulian’s, It’s quite unfamiliar.’
“Who are you?”
The other party just did not expect Yan Jinyi to ask about her ident.i.ty and there was an obvious trace of awkwardness in her voice. “I’m your grandmother.”
The original owner had never met her grandmother much ever since she was born.
The last time she met her, her grandmother was ‘kidnapped’ by Tang Qing who had tried to threaten her.
“Oh, I couldn’t tell.”
Yang Guifang was a little upset that Yan Jinyi couldn’t even recognize her own grandmother’s voice but when she recalled the fact that she had come for something important, she nonetheless acted politely.
“Jinyi, your cousin and I will come in then. This garden is quite large, send someone to come pick us up.”
‘Does she really think she’s some queen?’
She heard that Yang Guifang had gone back to the countryside to make trouble over her place so she wondered, ‘How come she is back so soon?’
“This is someone else’s garden, I wouldn’t dare to let strangers in without the owner’s permission.”
Yang Guifang replied self-righteously, “Look at you, how can I be called a stranger? I’m your grandmother. Who would dare to stop Second Young Mistress Huo?”
“Grandma, my name is really not worth anything.”
Perhaps it was because Yan Jinyi had been on the phone too long, the maid ran over specifically to call her.
“If you want to come in, just come in but if you dare to use my name to get some benefits, you can forget about it. I mean what I say.”
Yang Guifang was stunned and she quickly agreed, “Okay, I will find a way to come in.”
After hanging up, she returned to her seat. At this moment, there were many new desserts on the table which were exquisite and appetizing.
“Second sister-in-law, who called you?”
Yan Jinyi glanced at Huo Qingyuan and answered, “A rather annoying person.”
Yang Guifang usually wouldn’t look for her for no reason. Since she got married into the Huo family, Yang Guifang had been taking the initiative to contact her.
She obviously had an ulterior motive.
There were many people whom Yan Jinyi hated but there were very few that she’d admit to disliking.
“Is it your aunt?”
“Pretty close.”
‘Who else except Second Sister-in-law’s aunt is annoying?’
Soon, Huo Qingyuan saw the maid bring an elderly woman and a young man over.
The elderly lady was wearing a very rustic floral clothing while the young man was dressed in hip clothes. He seemed like an educated punk.
“This old lady looks familiar, have I met her before?”
Yan Jinyi calmly nodded, “My grandmother.”
‘Oh right, Second Sister-in-law has a grandmother!’
