Chapter 199: Waiting For A Big Fish

With a furious expression, Huo Zihang questioned, “Just like that? Are you letting her off just like that?”

Yan Jinyi glanced at her and asked, “Do you know what it means to wait for a big catch?”

“What do you mean?”

She turned around and walked towards Shen Yan. After taking a seat, she fiddled with the feather duster and said, “That woman obviously has someone behind her, she investigated the Huo family very clearly.”

Huo Zihang furrowed his thick brows and said, “Is this a conspiracy? Does someone want to harm the Huo family?”

“I doubt it’s as serious as that, someone is purely trying to use that woman to tarnish the Huo Family’s reputation.”

Now, there was indeed someone she suspected.

“Let’s just wait, the Huo Family will be on the hot search list in less than an hour.”

Shen Yan was a little worried. “Jinyi, you’ve always wanted to keep your relationship with the Huo family hidden. If that woman was really instigated by someone, you…”

“No, exposing my identity will not be good for them.”

That was just human nature. Even though she was Second Young Mistress Huo in the first place, some people just didn’t want others to find out, perhaps because of jealousy.

Huo Zihang believed Yan Jinyi’s words almost unconditionally.

As expected, the news of Huo Zihang denying his illegitimate unborn child and causing the mother of the child to be hospitalized for resuscitation soon made it to the hot search list. That wasn’t all. The discussion rate of that topic on various forum sites was also skyrocketing.

There was a set of GIFs attached to the piece of news, which showed Yan Xin stumbling out of the Huo Family residence, falling onto the ground, weeping and then being sent away in an ambulance.

The news was well written and even the process of them getting to know Yan Xin and Huo Zihang had been exposed.

“In order to support her family, Yan Xin was forced to work in a bar, but she met a rogue who tried to violate her on the first day of work, but Huo Zihang appeared at the right time. They ended up getting intimate with each other and Yan Xin found out later that she had gotten pregnant. Compelled by her parents, she had no choice but to go to the Huo family and look for Huo Zihang. However, the Huo Family was hostile towards her and Second Young Mistress Huo even chased her out of their home…”

“On the other hand, the baby’s biological father simply watched on coldly.”

“Oh my God, the affairs of wealthy families are so complicated. I had a good impression of Second Young Mistress Huo because of ‘Female Fortress Leader’ in the first place, but I didn’t expect you to…”

“I’m not taking sides, but do you guys really think this is a romance novel? Sister Jinyi is a loyal fan of Second Young Mistress Huo. I trust Sister Jinyi.”

“They’ve gone overboard. Even if they don’t wish to acknowledge the child, they shouldn’t chase her out. The thing is, the one who chased her out is the Huo Family’s daughter-in-law.”

“My impression of Huo Zihang has been ruined. I knew he was a playboy, but I didn’t know that he was so much of a scum.”

…

When Huo Xishen returned home, his family members were all seated on the sofa with grave expressions.

Of course, his wife was an exception.

Yan Jinyi was playing a video game with Zhao Xinchen and Tan Sangsang.

Having just lost a game and heard Zhang Guoquan read aloud the comments on the internet, her mood instantly got worse.

She stood up abruptly and said, “Zhang Guoquan, bring me a machete.”

Huo Xishen walked over calmly and asked slowly, “What do you need a machete for?”

“What else do I need it for? That woman has the audacity to take a jab at me. She must have a death wish. I’m going to go chop her up now and feed her to the bugs!”

‘Second Sister-in-law, you’re so violent!’

Huo Qingyuan shivered and instantly felt that the scene was too impactful.

“Jinyi, you will go to jail for doing that. We’re living in a lawful society now, don’t get up to any unruly nonsense,” Shen Yan quickly persuaded, afraid that Yan Jinyi would really do that.

Yan Jinyi shrugged her shoulders and said, “No big deal, I’ll at most go back to Hell and queue up again.”

‘No big deal!’n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Huo Xishen raised his brows when he heard her saying ‘going back to Hell’ again.

“Xishen, you’re back. Have you read the news?”
