Chapter 122: I Really Want To Acknowledge You as My Daughter
“Sorry, I…”
“It doesn’t matter, they’re not my parents anyway.”
Tao Wei automatically assumed that Yan Jinyi had grown up as an orphan and was later abandoned by her adoptive parents.
After all, he was a father and all of a sudden, he was overwhelmed with paternal love as he looked at Yan Jinyi with a compassionate gaze. “I’ve just turned 40 years old this year, but if you’re willing, you can treat me like your father.”
Yan Jinyi shot him a contemptuous glance and gibed, “If you want to take advantage of me, that’s impossible.”
“…”
‘I really want to acknowledge you as my daughter!’
‘In ancient times, I can really be your father at this age… right?’
When she returned to the Huo Family’s estate, Huo Qingyuan and Huo Zihang were seated on the sofa and having a chat with each other. When she saw Yan Jinyi, Huo Qingyuan abruptly stood up and prepared to go upstairs.
“Huo Qingyuan.”
Yan Jingyi called out to stop her.
Huo Qingyuan actually wanted to make up with Yan Jinyi, but she couldn’t swallow her pride and bring herself to do it.
Hearing her words, Huo Qingyuan thought that Yan Jinyi was going to take the initiative to make up with her. She raised her chin slightly and pretended to be proud. “What’s the matter?”
“Are you and Zhou Yan still dating?”
“We are dating with the intentions of getting married.”
‘Married?’
‘Damn it, she doesn’t understand the sufferings in the world.’
“As your sister-in-law, I’ll warn you one last time, break up with him while it’s still early.”
Hearing this, Huo Qingyuan immediately lost her temper and glowered at Huo Qingyuan with reddened eyes. “You just want to break us up, what’s wrong with Zhou Yan? Why do you detest him so much? Don’t worry, we will go live abroad after we get married. We won’t stay here and get in your way.”
“Huo Qingyuan!” Yan Jinyi was furious too. She snapped, “You are the daughter of the Huo Family. Why do you have to degrade yourself so much? I don’t believe that you really have no suspicions about Zhou Yan.”
After being stunned, Huo Qingyuan clenched her fists and said, “What do you mean?”
Yan Jinyi took a deep breath. “Are you sure that Zhou Yan is not dating you because of your status as the daughter of the Huo Family?”
“I trust him.”
‘Damn it, I really want to punch someone.’
“Huo Zihang, bring your feather duster here.”
Hearing her words, Huo Zihang hurriedly waved his hand and signaled for her to hurry back to the room. “Second sister-in-law, let’s discuss the matter of grandpa’s birthday banquet. Grandpa has also agreed to let you be in charge of the guest list this time.”
He managed to divert Yan Jinyi’s attention.
Huo Qingyuan looked at the two people downstairs indignantly, gritted her teeth, and rushed back to the room angrily.
In fact, she was really nervous.
“The birthday banquet will be held privately and no media personnel will be invited. So, you don’t have to worry about the majority of netizens finding out your identity.”
Yan Jinyi nodded. She really didn’t want more people to find out, so as to avoid troubles when she got a divorce in the future.
The gossip mongers of this era were really infuriating sometimes.
“Will Tang Qing attend old Master Huo’s birthday banquet?”
“Nah. Tang Qing and Second Brother are at odds against each other, and the Tang family and Huo Family are not on good terms with each other either.” Huo Zihang looked at Yan Jinyi and said, “There are four top wealthy families in the city, namely the Huo Family, Tang family, Bai Family and Fu family.”
She knew about the four great families.
“The ancestors of the Huo Family used to be heroes who defended the country. Later on, they started running their own business, which is still in operation now. The Tang family, as we all know, used to work with the mafia and they’re all roguish.” Huo Zihang paused before continuing, “The Bai family is a family of scholars and the members of the family are all top elites in the various art industries. The Fu Family… have their roots abroad and have only started to develop their business in the past two years. However, there’s a lot of conflict within the family and it’s really chaotic.”
