Chapter 694 - Very Precious Body

“Jinyi, what do you mean? Liu Chen is your cousin and a family should be harmonious in order to achieve greater success. Now that your cousin has been duped, shouldn’t you be helping?” Yang Guifang said with a sullen expression on her face. “Are you abandoning your grandmother now that you’re fully-fledged?”

“Grandma, you must be joking. He’s my cousin, not my biological younger brother. I didn’t even give you any help when you were hospitalized. Why should I help a relative?”

Yang Guifang was so furious that her body began to tremble. “You rebel who doesn’t know any better. If it wasn’t for us, would you have had the chance to marry Huo Xishen?”

Yan Jinyi said with a smile, “Grandma, why are you joking? It was up to me to decide if I should marry Huo Xishen or not. If I wasn’t willing to marry him, could you have tied me up?”

Seeing how adamant Yan Jinyi was, Yan Jinyi began to play the sympathy card. “Jinyi, the 500,000 yuan definitely doesn’t mean anything to you but it’s the money that your aunt and uncle are planning to give your cousin for buying a home! Yet, he’s now saying that he doesn’t mind going to jail for a few more years because he can’t afford to pay the sum of money.”

“Let them stay in jail for longer then. Otherwise, why don’t you wait for them to be released from prison before selling them?” Resting her chin in one hand, Yan Jinyi frowned and said, “I reckon all of them combined won’t be worth 500,000 yuan.”

“They’ve scammed so many people. How can they possibly be unable to afford even 500,000 yuan? Jinyi, ask Mr. Huo for help. Take it that I’m begging you!”

Pretending to be surprised, she asked, “Ah, Grandma, don’t you know? Didn’t Aunt tell you about it?”

“What am I supposed to know?”

With a look of misery, Yan Jinyi said, “I have a low status in the Huo Family. Even a maid gets to bully me. Mr. Huo was initially unwilling to marry me and even till now, we haven’t consummated our marriage. Grandma, why do you think that Mr. Huo will help me?”

Hearing her words, Yang Guifang asked in shock, “You…haven’t consummated your marriage with Mr. Huo?”

‘They seemed to be quite loving. Is it all fake?’

However, Yang Guifang couldn’t be bothered now. “You can go look for Mr. Tang. He likes you very much and he’d definitely help you if you ask.”

“You want me to disturb Mr. Tang for the sake of my cousin who has a mediocre relationship with me. Grandma, are you going to return the favor for me?”

“I…”

“Mr. Tang is a hooligan who has seen all sorts of women before. He has long gotten sick of me. If Mr. Tang gets angry and wants to beat others up, you can take the beating for me then.”

Yan Jinyi touched her face and said, “My body is very precious. I can’t take a beating.”

‘Atrocious.’

Yang Guifang gritted her teeth and said, “Jinyi, you’re a big star now. You should be earning a lot of money. Are you sure it’s not just because you can’t bear to give the money?”

“Grandma, you must be joking again. I’ve long made it clear that all my money is held by Mr. Huo. If you’re displeased, you can go look for Mr. Huo.”

Yang Guifang looked extremely sullen. “I bet you’re just unwilling to help. Alright, I’ll go ask Madam Bai about it then.”

Yan Jinyi pointed at the door and said with a smile, “Please.”

She didn’t believe that Yang Guifang would really dare to look for Leng Jing.

200,000 yuan of those 500,000 were from Leng Jing. At that time, she confidently said that Liu Chen would definitely be able to debut.

Now that the con artists had been exposed, Leng Jing definitely didn’t know that Liu Chen was one of the victims too. If Yang Guifang were to…

As Yan Jinyi expected, Yang Guifang really didn’t dare to go look for Leng Jing.

‘But… are we supposed to just give away the 500,000?’
