'She actually hit her own family too. Second Young Mistress Huo is too scary.'

Zhao Xinyue, who originally still wanted to scold Yan Jinyi, immediately became speechless.

However, was she going to take this beating for nothing?

"Brother, our family is dignified and prestigious in this city. Are you really going to stand by and watch your sister being beaten by this shrew? Brother, you..."

"Shut up, all you do is get into a fight with others instead of studying hard. You even had the guts to bully Miss Huo. How bold of you."

'What...'

'Aren't you the same?'

'You were more of a bully than I am in the past!'

Zhao Xinyue clenched her fists and muttered furiously, "I won't just let it go like that. I'll tell Dad when I get home..."

Yan Jinyi knew when to stop appropriately and had merely hit Huo Qingyuan once.

She turned around and was ready to walk towards the sofa. When the people in the room saw her moving, they pressed their backs tightly against the wall, petrified.

The department head wiped the sweat on his forehead and asked, "Um, Second Young Mistress, how do I explain that you've given Zhao Xinyue a beating when Mr. Zhao asks about it?"

'Why did the school accept these two troublemakers!?'

"I don't care how you explain. She bullied a member of my family, why can't I bully her too?"

It sounded strange, but it made sense too.

Looking at Zhao Xinchen with squinted eyes, she said, "Zhao Xinchen, there's no problem with me teaching Zhao Xinyue a lesson on your behalf, is there?"

Meeting her dangerous gaze, Zhao Xinchen shivered, "No problem at all. Of course there's no problem. I was the one who asked you to help me discipline Xinyue."

Yan Jinyi nodded and looked askance at the department head. "Did you hear that?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I heard it."

"By the way, you don't have to thank me for disciplining this feisty young lady of the Zhao Family on their behalf. Just don't come and disrupt my peace unnecessarily."

The people in the room were not fools, so they naturally understood what Yan Jinyi meant.

In other words, she meant that the Zhao Family ought not to blow things up by settling scores with her after this matter.

Zhao Xinchen nodded profusely and said, "Rest assured, Sister Jinyi."

"Your sister doesn't seem very satisfied."

Zhao Xinchen turned around to see that Zhao Xinyue was glaring at Yan Jinyi with a murderous gaze. After smacking the back of her head, he warned, "Avoid Miss Huo in the future."

Even though she was reluctant, Zhao Xinyue had no choice but to nod her head.

Finally satisfied, Yan Jinyi tossed the feather duster onto the sofa and said, "Huo Qingyuan, come home with me."

This time, Huo Qingyuan did not continue criticizing her. Instead, she obediently followed her.

Looking at the backs of the two of them leaving one after the other, Zhao Xinyue was full of jealousy.

'Why does Huo Qingyuan have such a violent yet protective sister-in-law, while I have to fight for attention with a bunch of illegitimate children?'

When they reached the school gate, Yan Jinyi pointed to the Huo Family's car and said, "Behave yourself and head home straight."

Huo Qingyuan questioned hostilely, "Where are you going?"

Yan Jinyi retorted, raising her eyebrows, "What does it have to do with you?"

"I... Do you think I don't know that you're having an ambiguous relationship with that Best Actor? Yan Jinyi, let me tell you, even though you've helped me out today, I won't let you off if I find out that you betrayed my Second Brother!"

"What can you do to me with your lousy moves? Mind your own business. I feel ashamed of you for getting beaten up so pathetically."

After saying that, she left without looking back.

Astounded, Huo Qingyuan stood in place and after Yan Jinyi hopped into a cab, only then did she subconsciously look at her body.

"…"

'Atrocious, I made a fool out of myself in front of Yan Jinyi!'

'It's that wretched girl Zhao Xinyue's fault! Next time, I must beat you up till you start weeping!'
