Chapter 575: You Can’t Be Married
Leng Yuxi’s mother was named Leng Jing. Since Leng Yuxi had already taken her mother’s last name, she obviously meant a lot to her mother.
Leng Jing continued to praise her son in front of Yan Jinyi. “Jinyi, my son is really capable. He’s responsible for many roles but he can still keep his father’s company orderly and well-managed. What do you think of him?”
Seeing that Yan Jinyi was still lost in thought, Leng Jing couldn’t help but push her a little. “Jinyi?”
Only then did Yan Jinyi react and look at Leng Jing with confusion. “Huh?”
“Are you stunned by my son?” Leng Jing asked with a smug smile. “How’s it? My son is very handsome, isn’t he?”
“…”
‘Handsome my foot.’
“Jinyi, what do you think of my son?”
Yan Jinyi smiled somewhat perfunctorily and pointed to Leng Yuxi. “Auntie, that Miss Leng is your daughter?”
A doting expression appeared on Leng Jing’s face at the mention of her daughter. “Yes, it’s her birthday today. I’ll introduce you to her later. She’s pretty willful and capricious. She’s very stubborn too, once she’s set her sights on something, she will never let it go.”
Yan Jinyi immediately guessed that she was referring to Huo Xishen.
“Auntie, you should try harder to persuade her.”
Leng Jing’s face turned a little sullen. “Jinyi, my daughter’s relationship was ruined because another woman came in between them. She has known Xishen since they were children and everyone in our circle knows that they’re the true match made in heaven.”
‘Another woman?’
Yan Jinyi began to get a little worked up as she suddenly felt that the noblewoman in front of her had as low of an IQ as her son.
‘So he’s wrong for not choosing to marry your daughter? What a joke.’
Yan Jinyi couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Auntie, you’re quite confident in your daughter.”
“I can see how much Yuxi adores Huo Xishen and as her mother, I hope that my children will be happy.” At this point, Leng Jing suddenly looked at Yan Jinyi and instructed, “Jinyi, my son has plenty of suitors and many girls are desperate to marry him. You have to seize the opportunity, don’t end up like my daughter.”
Yan Jinyi didn’t even bother to continue trying to prevent a conflict between her and Leng Jing. ‘The people of the Bai family probably all have a great sense of superiority. Leng Yuxi is quite good at reincarnating. Well, at the very least, her mother and brother are doting on her and showering her with love blindly.’
Overindulgence is not a good thing.
Staring at Leng Yuxi who was enjoying the blessings of everyone, Yan Jinyi rubbed her chin with one hand and seemed to be deep in thought.
Huo Xishen happened to be walking over slowly at this moment.
He was dressed in a suit that accentuated his tall and aloof aura. Wherever he went, he would be the center of attention.
“Xishen, you’re here!” As soon as she saw Huo Xishen, Leng Yuxi hurriedly scurried over while holding the hem of her skirt in hand. With a radiant smile on her face, she said, “I’m very glad that you can attend my birthday party. Xishen, my dad has been saying that it’s been a long time we met. Come over to my place when you’re free and we can catch up.”
Yan Jinyi stood at the side and watched the two of them.
Huo Xishen didn’t pay attention to Leng Yuxi and instead walked straight to Yan Jinyi. She then reached out to put his arm around her shoulders and said, “I just came to see my wife.”
The people around them now were just the relatives of the Bai family and their close friends.
The moment Huo Xishen said that, everyone fell silent immediately.
Leng Yuxi was stunned and she looked at Yan Jinyi in shock before turning to look at Huo Xishen again. “What wife? How can you possibly have a wife? Everyone’s saying that your marriage is a sham. That’s true, isn’t it?”
Yan Jinyi raised her eyebrows slightly and thought, ‘This heiress, Leng Yuxi, is quite interesting!’
