Madam Is A Sensational Figure In The City Chapter 388
Advertisement
Almost as soon as Huo Zihang went upstairs, Zhang Guoquan hurriedly walked over with an electronic tablet in hand. "Second Young Mistress, that aunt of yours is here again."
'Aunt?'
After pondering for a while, Yan Jinyi finally remembered who her aunt was.
'Oh right, the one who came to borrow money from me. Her name seems to be Chen Yulian.'
"What is she doing here?"
Zhang Guoquan wiped the cold sweat off the corner of his forehead and said, "It seems that your grandmother has disappeared and your aunt insists that you took her away."
'Grandma has gone missing?'
Yan Jinyi suddenly remembered what Tang Qing said to her during the phone call previously.
She frowned and said, "Let her in."
Chen Yulian had gained a significant amount of weight since the last time they met a few months ago.
She was dressed in a large floral print dress with a green coat. She had applied so much blush on her cheeks that they were as red as a monkey's butt.
Yan Jinyi pounded her chest and thought, 'Even those villagers who live at the foot of Black Cloud Fortress have a better fashion sense than Chen Yulian. She's dressed in such an ugly outfit, and yet she has the nerve to think that she's a beauty queen.'
Chen Yulian first greeted the Huo siblings before turning to glower at Yan Jinyi furiously. "Yan Jinyi, where did you hide your grandmother? It's been such a long time since you last saw her, but you haven't shown her any concern. I doubt you'd be so kind as to bring her to the city to enjoy life."
As she spoke, Chen Yulian sat on the ground and smacked her thighs. "Oh my gosh, you're such an unfilial granddaughter. Tell me, where did you take your grandmother to? Do you know how worried your uncle is?"

Yan Jinyi rubbed her ears and turned to look at Huo Xishen. "Do you mind if I ask Tang Qing to come over?"
Huo Xishen was bewildered.
Yan Jinyi continued, "If I'm not mistaken, he should have taken my grandmother."
She didn't have a deep impression of her grandmother so she wondered if the original Yan Jinyi had suffered from brain damage before her death.
Actually, she was rather curious about how the original Yan Jinyi died too.
After a moment of silence, Huo Xishen said, "Zhang Guoquan, please inform Mr. Tang that we would like to invite him over to our place."
Seeing that everyone was ignoring her, Chen Yulian blushed in embarrassment and scanned her surroundings while lamenting to herself, 'As expected of the wealthy. Each ornament in this house is probably worth more than all the furniture in my living room.'
'Hmph, Yan Jinyi is a little ingrate. She didn't invite me to go in for tea previously and even humiliated me in front of so many people.'
'She must have secretly taken that old woman this time because she's coveting that old residence of hers.'
The government had launched an initiative to support villagers lately, and the old residence belonging to Yan Jinyi's grandmother had a history of more than 300 years.
It was said that the town council planned to renovate that house for the development of the countryside tourism industry. The renovated house could serve as a guest inn.
Chen Yulian glanced at Yan Jinyi carefully and thought, 'She's already married into the Huo Family. Does she still want to vie with her cousins?'
Seeing that Chen Yulian had stopped crying, Yan Jinyi smacked the sofa and said, "Hey, keep crying, don't stop."

"What?" Chen Yulian asked, stunned by her words.
"I told you to keep crying, I haven't seen enough."
Chen Yulian looked ashamed and indignant as she retorted, "Yan Jinyi, I'm your aunt after all. You're so disrespectful to your elders. Haven't you learned any manners and etiquette since you married into the Huo Family?"
Before Yan Jinyi could say anything, Huo Xishen said indifferently, "Aunt Yulian, you seem to have a lot of opinions about my wife, don't you?"
Faced with Huo Xishen's cold and aloof gaze, Chen Yulian subconsciously shuddered. She dared not provoke Huo Xishen who managed to make Huo Group break into the international market at the age of twenty.
Unlike the rich playboy Huo Zihang, Huo Xishen held true power and authority.

War of Seasons
Dorothea Atlin is the young, apathetic leader of the neutral territory of Sirpo, a chilly land hovering above the continuously warring factions of Sacer and Ghuria, whose devastating magics have ravaged their people and lands time and time again. Following a shocking attack and a cruel deception, Dorothea grows her conscience and takes up arms, using her self-destructive ability to manipulate the flow of time to ensure Sacer’s victory. Her growing understanding of war and the two factions is guided by Iree Nobelis, the determined and enthralling commander of Sacer’s forces, Ariana Kingfisher, a steely swordswoman of mixed Ghurian and Sacerian descent, and Rhys Tamlin, a kind but haunted soldier who goes to challenge Dorothea’s self-imposed celibacy and join her on a mutual journey of healing from the tragic legacies of the Atlin family and wars between the nations. Meanwhile, Dorothea’s only friend and deserter from the Sacerian military, Shark Olyen, returns to their homeland to face the family that disowned them and finds more than they bargained for in meeting Cerid Creed, a noble whose duty to his people clashes with his desires in romance and in life, much like Shark’s did long before. As their developing or preexisting loves and differing convictions on how to achieve peace create rifts between these major players, Dorothea experiences a personal revolution that leads her to fight for what she believes is right, no matter the cost. A slow-burn story that takes time setting up the psychology and motivations of characters for explosive payoff later down the line.
