'Isn't the Second Sister-in-law here to pick me up?'

Huo Qingyuan opened her eyes wide and stared at the direction Yan Jinyi left in. She pursed her lips as she suddenly felt incredibly aggrieved.

'Second sister-in-law actually abandoned me and left. Did she get besieged by Dong Xu because of me? After all, Dong Xu has tried courting me before.'

She sighed...

Huo Qingyuan walked forward dejectedly and when she passed by one of Dong Xu's underlings, she couldn't help but kick him.

The underling who was just about to get up was kicked to the ground again. He struggled to raise his head and was ready to lose his temper but he realized that it was Huo Qingyuan...

'Did I offend someone?'

Huo Qingyuan hurriedly chased after Yan Jinyi but even after running across an entire street, she still didn't see her anywhere in sight.

"Qingyuan, why are you walking so quickly? Anna has already booked a seat at the restaurant, let's go."

Huo Qingyuan waved her hand and seemed disinterested. She said nonchalantly, "I'm not going anymore, you guys go ahead yourselves."

Her classmate asked with a look of bewilderment, "Why? Didn't we agree to go see Anna's new boyfriend together?"

"What's there to see? He's just a man, isn't he? What's there to see!?!"

'You're clearly the one who suggested that we have a gathering...'

"In that case, Qingyuan, you..."

Looking worried, Huo Qingyuan said, "I may have upset my second sister-in-law, I have to hurry home to check it out."

'If I go home late, the Second Sister-in-law might take it out on me.' Huo Qingyuan thought.

'Has Huo Qingyuan gotten bewitched by her second sister-in-law? Why does she talk about her all day?'

After getting inside the car, Huo Qingyuan was still worried and thus she called Huo Xishen.

The first time she called, Huo Xishen hung up. She immediately sent a photo to him and as a result, her aloof, vicious, sinister and cunning second brother actually took the initiative to call her!

Huo Qingyuan was so flattered that she hurriedly pressed the answer button and subconsciously straightened her back. "Hello, Second Brother."

Huo Xishen said slowly in his alluring voice, "What's the matter?"

"Second Brother, you know who Dong Xu is, right? Tang Qing's underling, the boss of the Vocational School Alliance whose courtship I turned down. I..."

Huo Xishen ordered coldly, "Get straight to the point."

Huo Qingyuan subconsciously shuddered and quickly answered, "I just saw Second Sister-in-law being surrounded by Dong Xu and his underlings but rest assured that she's fine. However, Dong Xu and his gang got abused badly by Second Sister-in-law!"

After finishing her piece in one breath, she started panting and breathing heavily.

On the other end of the phone, Huo Xishen was silent for a long time.

Huo Qingyuan called out, "Second Brother, are you still there?"

"I'm hanging up if there's nothing else."

The hurried sound of the call being engaged came from Huo Qingyuan's phone before she could answer.

???

'That's all you're going to say?'

'Second Brother, just you wait, sooner or later you will be made a cuckold.'

Huo Qingyuan secretly thought to herself.

Yan Jinyi did not hurry back to the Huo Family's residence and instead called Shen Yan to ask about the situation.

There was going to be a charity auction held by the auction house that she visited previously.

Tang Qing would usually be present at all auctions.

Yan Jinyi, who had gotten familiar with the place, soon arrived at the auction venue. The doorman recognized her at once and her journey was smooth and unhindered.

It was not that she had left a deep impression on the doorman the last time she came. After all, he was just a doorman.

Instead, it was because Tang Qing showed her photo to every employee in the club and instructed them to grant her entry at all times.

At this moment, Tang Qing was leaning on the leather sofa and sipping on some wine.

The thick and heavy curtains completely blocked the glow of the sunset, and only a dim table lamp was switched on inside the room.

Tang Qing was clad in a shirt with a few buttons undone, thus revealing his buff and sexy chest.

He was holding the wine glass in one hand and a cigarette in the other.
