Chapter 365: Madam Is Timid
Jiang Hai and the deputy chief were both startled as they looked at Yan Jinyi in unison.
Yan Jinyi was still hesitating, and couldn’t help but look Huo Xishen in the eye again. She then reluctantly reached her hand into her sleeve and placed it on his palm.
Huo Xishen frowned and pulled her sleeve away to hold her hand. His fingertips were cold and when they touched her skin, Yan Jinyi felt his body shaking.
“My wife is timid and she’s so frightened by you that she can’t speak anymore, Mr. Jiang. How do you think you should compensate us?”
‘Damn it, are you serious?’
Both Huo Zihang and Zhao Xinchen were just as dumbfounded.
They looked at Yan Jinyi, blinked, and then looked at Huo Xishen again.
‘Yan Jinyi is timid? She’s so scared that she can’t speak?’
Huo Zihang resisted the urge to pound his chest.
‘Second Brother, how can you go against your conscience and say such things without batting an eyelid at all!?’
Jiang Hang widened his eyes in shock.
‘Wife? They’re holding hands… Does that mean Yan Jinyi is the legendary Second Young Mistress Huo? Yan Jinyi is Huo Xishen’s wife!’
He suddenly felt like he was about to pass out as he finally figured out why Yan Jinyi was so composed.
At the end of the day, Jiang Zhao was the one who beat up Zhao Xinchen first and Yan Jinyi had merely hit Jiang Zhao again to take revenge for Zhao Xinchen.
Things were more complicated now that the Huo Family was involved…
He didn’t have the guts to continue pursuing the matter! The Huo family was way superior to the Zhao family!
They were the wealthiest of all tycoons. While Jiang Hai could subdue the Zhao family, there was nothing he could do to the Huo family.
Jiang Hai smiled awkwardly and said, “Hehe, there must be some misunderstanding here. I was just too muddled up because I love my son too much and got really worried because he’s hospitalized. Mr. and Mrs. Huo, please forgive me.”
Zhao Xinchen couldn’t help but add fuel to the fire. “Weren’t you bent on pursuing this matter to the end and putting Sister Jinyi behind bars? Don’t chicken out!”
Jiang Hai wished he could sew Zhao Xinchen’s lips together. “Mr. Huo, I won’t pursue this mater anymore, Second Young Mistress Huo has taught my unfilial son, Jiang Zhao, a lesson and disciplined him on my behalf. I ought to thank her, actually.”
Huo Xishen ignored him and turned to look at the deputy chief.
“Ahem, I was just being impartial and I was rather furious because Jiang Zhao is my nephew. Mr. Huo, please pardon me, we won’t pursue this matter either. At the end of the day, my bastard nephew is at fault in the first place. Please forgive us, Mr. Huo!”
Huo Xishen squinted and said, “You have to compensate for the emotional trauma you’ve inflicted on my wife…”
“We will!” Jiang Hai immediately added, “Is one million enough? We’ll compensate her for the emotional trauma. Second Young Mistress Huo, please forget about the unpleasant incident today!”
‘One million…’
Yan Jinyi scratched Huo Xishen’s palm gently with her finger. She could sense the sweat that was seeping out of his palm.
He was clearly feeing extremely uncomfortable but he still insisted on holding her hand. ‘Tsk, tsk, Doggy Huo has indeed been subdued by my charm.’
“I’ll make do with it. When the time comes, get Jiang Zhao to kowtow and apologize to me too, and I won’t pursue this any further.”
Jiang Hai agreed without hesitation, “Yes, yes, that’s for sure. When that brat is discharged from the hospital, I’ll take him to the Huo family to kowtow and apologize to you, Second Young Mistress Huo.”
“Forget it, don’t dirty my home. Just make him record an apology video and upload it onto the internet. Oh, remember to make it clear that it’s an apology to Second Young Mistress Huo, not Yan Jinyi.”
Jinyi was smart enough to understand what Yan Jinyi meant.
She didn’t want anyone to know that she was Huo Xishen’s wife.
“Okay, okay, we will do as we are told!”
