Chapter 73 - I Know You’re Short of Money Now
“Does that have anything to do with me?”
Yan Jinyi asked.
Huo Qingyuan stared at the calm look on Yan Jinyi’s tiny face.
‘She must be acting like this because Second Brother has hurt her too deeply.’
‘How pitiful. She must have decided to become stronger because she thinks she might not be able to stay in the Huo Family any longer, right?’
After some hesitation, Huo Qingyuan said, “Second Sister-in-law… I-I… realized that you’re actually quite nice…”
‘Second Sister-in-law?’
Yan Jinyi was a little surprised. Although she knew that it was only a matter of time for her to subdue Huo Qingyuan, she didn’t expect it to be soon.
“Go to bed, study hard, don’t be a dimwit.”
Huo Qingyuan was a little embarrassed. “I-I know.”
“Okay, if you can pass in all your subjects for your finals, I’ll give you a gift. How does that sound?”
Yan Jinyi put on a smile that was rarely seen on her face. Although it was faint, in Huo Qingyuan’s eyes, it was even more radiant than the sun.
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Usually, everyone would give her a gift during the holidays and festive occasions, but no one cared about her grades and wouldn’t reward her for them.
Being the daughter of the Huo Family, she was born with a golden spoon in her mouth and would get to live a privileged life of luxury even if she had poor academic grades.
Yet, Yan Jinyi…
Grinning widely, Huo Qingyuan exclaimed, “Sure!”
She made her way upstairs merrily while Huo Zihang who was going down with a glass of water was baffled.
‘This woman wants to give Huo Qingyuan a gift?’
He quickly dashed down the stairs and sat on the sofa opposite Yan Jinyi. After thinking about it, he took out his cell phone and opened the document containing the PR department’s rectification plan. He then placed his cell phone in front of Yan Jinyi.
“I’ve already reprimanded the staff of the PR department. As long as you agree, we will begin the battle immediately. Also, if you need a manager and an assistant…”
“No need for that, just let the scandal develop in its own course.”
“Huh?”
‘Then why did you call the PR staff good-for-nothings previously?’
Leaning against the sofa with a teacup in one hand, she knocked the surface of the cup with the other and said, “I’m really curious to see how far I can go without any PR staff.”
‘You’re so brutal…’
‘I bet no one will dare to do anything to you even without any intervention of the PR department.’
Suddenly reminded of his agenda, Huo Zihang clenched one of his fists and placed it near his lips. He coughed and asked, “Um… are you going to give Huo Qingyuan a gift?”
“Yes.”
“There’s no way she will pass in all the subjects, give up.”
Huo Qingyuan, who was standing at the stairway and was about to turn around to say goodnight to Yan Jinyi, was taken aback by what he said.
Damn!
‘Third Brother, you’re so mean. I’m your biological sister. How can you say that?’
“What if she passes?”
“Impossible.” Huo Zihang waved his hand and continued, “I know what Huo Qingyuan is like. Well, actually… My birthday has just passed a month or so ago. Second Sister-in-law, you…”
Immediately appearing enlightened, Yan Jinyi asked, “Do you want me to give you a birthday gift?”
Huo Zihang felt a little embarrassed.

However, he was extremely upset when he heard that Yan Jinyi wanted to give Huo Qingyuan a gift!
“It’s the thought that counts. I know you’re in need of money now. You can give me any gift you prefer. I won’t mind it.”
At this point, Yan Jinyi felt that it would be inappropriate to turn him down.
“Okay, I’ll take a look when I have the time.”
Huo Zihang was overjoyed. “You can buy me something with the money that you plan to spend on Huo Qingyuan’s gift. She’ll never get it anyway. I have a meeting to attend tomorrow, I’ll go to bed now.”

Yan Jinyi nodded.
Huo Qingyuan looked at Huo Zihang with disdain from upstairs.
‘Third Brother, you’re such a jerk!’
‘I’m going to pass in all my subjects this time and throw my results in your face!’
‘Atrocious!’
