Chapter 455 - 455: Jinyi"s Parents Have Already Pa.s.sed Away
Yao Xin"s palms had already begun to get sweaty. sweating, "I have a friend who works as a journalist and happens to know the person who exposed those photo. He was the one who told me everything. By the way, Mr. Huo, I have to go pick out a dress to wear to the upcoming launch of SY fashion label"s latest collection."
"SY is the fashion label owned by my sister-in-law."
"Right, the head chief designer of SY is Huo Zihang"s sister-in-law, so..."
"No wonder the person in charge of the product launch encouraged me to join the audition for the spokesperson of the next season. I reckon they don"t want me to disgrace you. Mr. Huo, please res a.s.sured that I"ll definitely clinch the endors.e.m.e.nt deal."
Huo Zihang said perfunctorily, "Go ahead."
"The spokesperson has already been decided anyway. Well, the chosen candidate indeed, wouldn"t disgrace me."
"Mr. Huo, I..."
"Aren"t you going to go pick out a dress?" Huo Zihang interrupted.
Yao Xin froze and coughed twice with some embarra.s.sment, "Yes, yes, goodbye Mr. Huo. I hope you won"t get upset with Sister Jinyi, it hasn"t been easy for her to get this far."
Huo Zihang was getting a little impatient and he turned around to go back to the office.
Yan Jinyi had just arrived at the restaurant where she had agreed to meet Tan Sangsang.
As soon as Tan Sangsang saw her, she quickly pulled her into the private dining room as sneakily as she could, for fear that others might find out.
Almost as soon as Yan Jinyi sat down, she received a phone call from Huo Zihang.
She looked up and couldn"t help but glance at Tan Sangsang before answering the call in loudspeaker mode.
Soon, Huo Zihang"s voice sounded from the cell phone and Tan Sangsang, who was persuading Yan Jinyi, instantly fell silent with a look of dismay.
"Second Sister-in-law, Yao Xin just came to see me in my office and acted like a fool. I"ll avenge you now and kick her out of the company, okay?"
Huo Zihang"s voice was rather loud and he was drinking some water as he spoke.
"What"s the hurry? Don"t do anything to Yao Xin yet, I want to deal with her myself."
She wanted the entire nation to watch Yao Xin"s reputation getting destroyed.
"Why do these people never learn their lessons? They"re all so eager to face my wrath."
"Okay, but doesn"t that mean that you"ll have to bear with the frustration for some time?"
"It"s just going to be a couple of days." Yan Jinyi looked up and then said, "Sangsang, please pour me a cup of green tea."
Huo Zihang immediately interjected, "Second Sister-in-law, you"re with Miss Tan?"
Yan Jinyi raised her eyebrows and gibed, "Yeah, why? Do you have a problem with that?"
"I"m quite free now, why don"t you give me your address?"
Tan Sangsang got a great shock and she hurriedly waved her hand at Yan Jinyi while hinting to her with her eyes.
Yan Jinyi winked at her and said to Huo Zihang, "Get lost."
She then hung up resolutely.
Huo Zihang stared at his phone screen with resentment.
After seeing that Yan Jinyi had hung up, Tan Sangsang finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Um, is Mu Mu really Huo Zihang"s son?" Yan Jinyi couldn"t help but ask.
Her gaze was as blazing as a torch, making Tan Sangsang"s scalp tingle when they made eye contact. Tan Sangsang bit the bullet and hesitated for a long time before nodding. "He should be."
At the end of the day, she still did not dare to tell Yan Jinyi the truth explicitly.
Tan Sangsang clutched her shirt tightly and decisively changed the subject. "Jinyi, the Lunar New Year is just around the corner, do you want to go back to your hometown?"
"Back to my hometown?"
Yan Jinyi frowned slightly and asked, "Do I have a hometown to go back to?"
"Right, Jinyi"s parents have already pa.s.sed away and she"s not close to her grandmother either," Tan Sangsang thought.
"My mother said that she will take Mu Mu back to her hometown to visit her relatives during the Lunar New Year period. I reckon she"ll return only after the holidays."
Yan Jinyi nodded and said, "The air in the countryside is fresher. I"m probably going to spend Lunar New Year with the Huo Family."
At this point, she somehow felt melancholic. In the past, her underlings would celebrate the new year with her by hosting a huge talent show. Although it wasn"t that entertaining, it was lively and enjoyable.
