'Why can't a rogue have true love!?'
Ever since ancient times, rogues and bandits had always been the same type of people. She was feeling very unjust for Tang Qing's grandfather at the moment.
"What happened afterwards?"
Huo Qingyuan sighed and said, "After Grandpa and Grandma got married, Tang Qing's grandfather married a random woman, who's Tang Qing's grandmother. Later on, he went about his philandering days and now, he's surrounded by young and beautiful women!"
"Don't Tang Qing and Huo Xishen detest each other? Is it also because of a woman?"
Huo Qingyuan looked at Yan Jinyi quitely. 'Second Sister-in-law, please don't spout nonsense casually, especially such shocking statements.'
'Second Brother is very pure, you're the only woman he loves in this life.'
The guests arrived one after another. Huo Xian took a look at his wristwatch and asked, "Is Xishen not here yet?"
Huo Chengyu hung up and said, "He just got off the plane and is on is way here now. Grandpa, if you're tired, you can go back in to get some rest."
Huo Xian thought about it and nodded. "That's good too."
Almost as soon as he sat down, all the wealthy heirs arrived with gifts.
In a short while, the empty seats behind Huo Xian were occupied with a small pile of gifts.
After all the guests sent their gifts, it was finally the Huo Family's turn.
The Huo Family was well-connected with many friends and relatives but most of them were overseas. Only a few remained in the nation.
When it was Yan Jinyi's turn to present the gifts, she first looked at Tang Qing who was sitting on the sofa next to Huo Xian.
Tang Qing stared at her with a burning gaze, but to be precise, he was staring at the painting in her hand.

"Grandpa, this is the gift that I've meticulously picked out for you. I've been through so much for this painting!" Yan Jinyi said with much exaggeration.
Huo Xian grabbed the painting smilingly and lifted the cloth that was covering it.
When he saw the painting of a lifelike tiger, Huo Xian's eyes lit up, "Not bad, not bad, Jinyi, that's very thoughtful of you. How did you get this painting?"
"Speaking of the source of this painting, it's also thanks to Mr. Tang that I managed to obtain it. If not for the fact that Mr. Tang has gentlemanly decided to let me have the painting during the auction and generously paid for it, you wouldn't have gotten it today, Grandpa."
'Seems like this was bought from the Tang Family's auction.'
Tang Qing felt that he had been used by Yan Jinyi.
'I clearly paid for the painting as a token of filial piety for Huo Xian. Why has it become a result of of Yan Jinyi's good judgment? Why is she getting all the credit?'
He looked at Yan Jinyi with displeasure while she smiled at him radiantly. "Mr. Tang, you're such a generous person. No wonder you're the CEO of Tang Corporation."
"I..."
"Huh? Didn't Mr. Tang bring a gift for grandpa? I thought being the rich person he is, Mr. Tang would definitely bring at least ten gifts."
'How is this humane?'
Tang Qing glowered at Yan Jinyi and said with a mirthless smile, "I forgot to prepare the gifts."
'Isn't that painting a gift from me?'
'I was cheated out of my two million yuan too.'
Shen Yan never knew that her sister-in-law, Yan Jinyi, was such... a quick-witted person.
Huo Xian said, "Your attendance is enough, no need for the gifts."

Tang Qing's appearance at his birthday banquet would already bring great benefit to both parties, as it would lead others to thinking that there might be a chance that the Tang Corporation and Huo Group would make up with each other, thus driving up the stock prices.
"I'm mainly here because of Second Young Mistress Huo. I discovered that she's too charming." Tang Qing looked at Yan Jinyi and shook his head regretfuly. "It's such a shame I met her too late. She has already become someone else's wife, ah..."
