Chapter 115: Chapter 115: How Much Is Your Net Worth?
Zhou Yan pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and smiled warmly. He greeted, “Hello. I am Zhou Yan, Qingyuan’s boyfriend. You look a little familiar.”
Huo Qingyuan knew that Zhou Yan usually did not pay much attention to the gossip of the entertainment industry. Too lazy to explain, she simply said, “Second Sister-in-law is an actress. Zhou Yan, address her as Second Sister-in-law just like I do.”
“Um…”
Zhou Yan looked at Yan Jinyi hesitantly with some amazement in his eyes. “May I know…”
“How much is your net worth?”
Yan Jinyi suddenly asked.
Zhou Yan froze in shock before coming back to his senses. With a touch of embarrassment on his handsome face, he said, “Uh, my parents run a small business. We can only be considered a middle-class family.”
“Huo Qingyuan’s monthly allowance is 1 million yuan. What makes you think you can support her?”
“I…”
Seeing Yan Jinyi’s aggressive questioning and coercive attitude towards Zhou Yan, Huo Qingyuan couldn’t help but tug at her hem. She lamented, “Second Sister-in-law, it’s not Zhou Yan’s money that I care about. I like him for his talent and his personality. Besides, the Huo Family is already wealthy enough, why should I date a rich man?”
“Yes, Second Sister-in-law. I am dating Qingyuan because of her innocence and kindness. She’s the daughter of a wealthy family but she doesn’t put on airs at all. She’s a child at heart, which is rare these days.”
‘Huo Qingyuan is pure and innocent?’
‘You must be lying. At most, she’s ignorant and foolish.’
“Second sister-in-law…”
“Shut up.”
Yan Jinyi rebuked softly.
Pursing her lips, Huo Qingyuan said aggrievedly, “Second Sister-in-law, I wanted you to be the first person to meet my boyfriend and get along with him harmoniously, but you… Second Sister-in-law, are you also a mercenary person who only cares about wealth and power?”
Yan Jinyi suddenly laughed out loud and asked, “Huo Qingyuan, did I say that I came here because I wanted to meet your so-called boyfriend?”
Yan Jinyi had been in all sorts of situations and met all sorts of people. She could bet on her life, which she had painstakingly obtained after lining up for 500 years, that Zhou Yan was a scumbag with ill intentions!
“Huo Qingyuan, are you sure you must date him?”
Huo Qingyuan looked at Zhou Yan, who was smiling warmly at her. She then reached out to hold him tightly.
Feeling the warmth coming from his palm, Huo Qingyuan nodded vigorously. “Second Sister-in-law, I trust my judgment and I also hope that you can give us your support.”
‘Damn it.’
She had lived two lifetimes without ever having fallen in love, and yet, Huo Qingyuan, the little brat, beat her to it!
Yan Jinyi squinted at the easel that Zhou Yan had placed on the flowerbed.
It was a painting of a woman leaning against the window.
“Huo Qingyuan, I hope you don’t regret your decision. Also, I don’t like your boyfriend, so avoid letting me see him in the future, or else…”
Recalling the scene of Yan Jinyi beating others up, Huo Qingyuan shivered and asked, “Second Sister-in-law, you don’t even know him. Why are you so quick to object against him?”
Yan Jinyi humphed lightly. “I trust my judgment.”
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Huo Qingyuan happily brought Yan Jinyi to meet Zhou Yan, thinking that she would receive her blessings, but to her astonishment…
Huo Qingyuan shook her head, feeling a little hurt.
Suddenly, a large hand was placed on her shoulder. “Qingyuan, I can understand why your Second Sister-in-law reacted that way. After all, you are the daughter of the Huo Family, and I…”
“Second Sister-in-law is just more exclusive and resistant towards outsiders. When she realizes how great you are, she will definitely accept you.”
Crestfallen, Huo Qingyuan forced herself to smile.
“Yes, don’t worry, I will work hard and paint. There is a teacher from overseas who has offered me an opportunity. When I go abroad to further my studies, I will work at his studio. Qingyuan, I will give you a good life. I will never give you less than what you deserve.”
Huo Qingyuan was touched.
