Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Actually, there was nothing to sow discord. Yan Jinyu could tell at a glance that Yuan Yuan and Huo Sisi didn’t have a deep relationship.

As for why Huo Sisi invited Yuan Yuan over even though they clearly didn’t have a deep relationship, perhaps it was… to cover her tracks?

“What are you talking about? I don’t mind at all. I’m just a little surprised. Yuanyuan, your brother’s personality is really different from yours.”

Seeing that she was smiling as usual, Yuan Yuan hid the emotions in her eyes and smiled as usual. “Yes, it’s probably because Xi’er followed Grandfather to Country Y when he was young and grew up by Grandfather’s side.”

“Sisi, you should have heard about it too. My grandfather was in poor health in his early years and had been recuperating in Country Y. Xi’er and I are the only two grandchildren in our family. Xi’er was closer to Grandfather since he was young, so he went to Country Y with Grandfather. Grandfather’s health improved recently, so he returned from Country Y with Grandfather.”

“Before he officially returned to the country, Xi’er would come back occasionally. Just last year, when Miss Huo returned to the Huo Family, Xi’er happened to come back and even went to the Huo Family to attend a banquet.”

“I know that. I did see Young Master Yuan at the banquet last year.”

As she spoke, Huo Sisi glanced at Yuan Xi again before saying to Yuan Yuan, “Young Master Yuan has been back in the country for a while. Why haven’t I met him in South City?”

“Well, Xi’er went to school in North City after returning to the country. The principal of North City’s Boyu High School is a good friend of my father’s in university. I heard that Boyu’s teaching quality is very good, so my father sent Xi’er over.”

North City?

Huo Sisi glanced at Yan Jinyu and quickly retracted her gaze.

It seemed like she didn’t intend to tell them that Yan Jinyu was from North City.

However, when Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu heard Yuan Yuan’s words, their gazes met for a moment.

So this was why Yuan Xi lived in Country Y and then returned to the country. He also went to Boyu High School for this reason. If the grandfather Yuan Yuan mentioned really existed, it would be very difficult to fake Yuan Xi’s identity as the eldest son of the Yuan Family.

Surely, Old Master Yuan knew his grandson well.

They originally wanted to find a time to seriously investigate the reason why Yuan Xi went overseas and returned home. They didn’t expect to find out before they even started investigating.

It saved them a lot of effort, but they still had to investigate. Who knew if Yuan Yuan’s words were true or false?

Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu naturally noticed that Huo Sisi deliberately didn’t mention that Yan Jinyu was from North City too.

Huo Sisi didn’t remind them. She probably didn’t want these people to know Yan Jinyu’s identity.

But why not?

Was it because she was afraid that they wouldn’t dare to complete the mission Huo Sisi had given them after they found out?

After all, Yan Jinyu was someone who had been labeled as “Master Nine’s”.

“I see.”

She continued to introduce them to Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu. “This is the eldest son of the Xiang Family, Xiang Qing. This is his cousin, Xiang Jie. This is the Second Young Master of the Cao Family, Cao Ming.”

“They’re all my high school schoolmates. Xiang Qing and Cao Ming are older than me by a year. Xiang Jie and Yuan Yuan are in the same year as me.”

Yan Jinyu didn’t say anything. She maintained her faint smile and continued to pretend to be a “pretty vase”.

Huo Siyu nodded at them. “Hello.” Her attitude was neither warm nor distant.

“Hello, Second Miss Huo,” Xiang Jie said. She emphasized the words “Second Miss Huo” as if she was reminding Huo Siyu that Huo Sisi was the eldest daughter of the Huo Family.

Huo Siyu smiled without saying a word. Xiang Jie could not read her mind.

“Hello, Miss Yan. I’m Xiang Qing. I heard from Sisi that you’re from the South and rarely ski. My skiing skills are not bad. If you don’t mind, I can take care of you later. Oh right, I heard Second Miss Huo call you Beauty Yu just now. This name suits you very well. Can I call you that too?”

He sounded like a rich young master, but his tone was actually very intrusive.

“No.”

“No!”

They spoke in unison. The former was Yan Jinyu, while the latter was Huo Siyu.

Huo Siyu was much more excited than Yan Jinyu.

“Our Beauty Yu doesn’t need you to take care of her!” As she spoke, Huo Siyu turned her gaze to Huo Sisi, and the smile on her face completely faded.

“Huo Sisi, do you think that we’ve reconciled with you just because we came out with you? Dream on. Others might not know what you’re thinking, but how can we not know?” action

“You’d better take care of your friends. Don’t provoke someone you shouldn’t. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear the consequences.”

“Tsk, he still wants to call her Beauty Yu. Is Beauty Yu an address he could use?”

“Huo Sisi, if you want to die, don’t implicate the Huo Family!”

Huo Sisi’s expression turned ugly suddenly. Xiang Qing, who was ignored and insulted directly, looked even worse.

“Rainy, why are you saying that? Xiang Qing is also kind and doesn’t have any ill intentions. Why does it sound like Xiang Qing has ill intentions towards Miss Yan?”

Xiang Qing, that fool!

She had indeed called him over because Xiang Qing was someone who would definitely have evil thoughts when he saw a beauty. However, she did not want Xiang Qing to show his evil thoughts so early!

Fortunately, she had made two preparations. Otherwise, she would have wasted her efforts today!

“It doesn’t matter if he has ill intentions or not. What’s important is that he dares to speak to our Beauty Yu in such a disrespectful tone. He’s courting death! What does he take our Beauty Yu for, huh?”

“And you, Huo Sisi. You deliberately didn’t introduce our Beauty Yu’s identity. You know very well what you’re planning! Your poor friends. They don’t even know that you’re using them.”

Xiang Qing, who was furious, heard Huo Siyu’s words and looked at Huo Sisi, “Sisi, what does she mean? What’s her status?”

Huo Si thought that it was fortunate that she had always considered all the possibilities when she did things and had thought of how to deal with any changes. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t be able to smooth things over when Xiang Qing did this rashly.

“Didn’t I tell you before that Rainy’s friend is from the South? Since Miss Yan can be friends with Rainy, the Second Missy of the Huo Family, her family naturally won’t be bad.”

“She’s from the South and her surname is Yan. Isn’t her identity obvious? There’s only one Yan Family in North City in the south.”

“Besides, you should have heard of Master Nine from the Yin Family in the capital. Since you’ve heard of Master Nine, you should have naturally heard that he has a fiancée from the Yan Family in North City. Just like me, I didn’t ask much and knew that Master Nine’s fiancée was called Yan Jinyu. I thought that you all knew too. Who knew…”

Hearing that, their pupils constricted, especially Xiang Qing, who had designs on Yan Jinyu just now.

“I-I’m sorry, Eldest Miss Yan. I didn’t recognize you earlier. I was rude.” Although he was someone who would have indecent thoughts when he saw a beauty, he still had some tact as he was brought up in a big family and knew who he could and couldn’t offend.

The Xiang Family was also in the business world. As a member of the Xiang Family, he knew very well that the person the Xiang Family couldn’t offend the most was the business world’s God of Slaughter, Master Nine.

Huo Sisi’s words seemed to make sense, but if one thought about it carefully, there were still many suspicions.

For example, since Huo Sisi had thought of so many things, why didn’t she mention Yan Jinyu’s identity when she called to ask them out? Wasn’t she worried that they might not recognize Yan Jinyu and offend her and cause trouble for their family?

However, at this moment, other than Yuan Yuan, no one else thought too much about this because they were all shocked by Yan Jinyu’s identity and had no time to think about anything else.

This was also within Huo Sisi’s consideration.

She didn’t care what they would think after the incident.

Once was enough for some people to be used.

Anyway, she had more than just these few people.

It didn’t matter if they fell out.

Only Yuan Yuan was naturally shocked, but her attention quickly turned to Huo Sisi’s words.

Huo Sisi’s intentions…

She just had to keep an eye on her brother later. She would not get involved in their conflict.

“Huo Sisi, you’re very capable. You can even make the dead alive. Your friends are really unlucky to know someone like you.”

Looking at the trembling Xiang Qing, Huo Siyu snorted and said, “On the account that you’re quite sensible, I’ll forget about it this time. However, did you really grow up in a big family? You didn’t even know that you were used by others. I really don’t dare to describe you.”

“Beauty Yu, let’s go. Don’t bother about them. That’s not the only reason I invited you to South City.” She was referring to more than just the torture.

She wanted to invite Yan Jinyu over to have fun.

Yan Jinyu hadn’t spoken since Huo Siyu spoke.

Not only did she wait quietly because someone was standing up for her, but she was also too lazy to move her hands and mouth. Her attention was also attracted by something else, or rather, someone else.

From the beginning to the end, that person called Cao Ming did not say a word.

Although Cao Ming’s pupils constricted when he found out her identity and he was obviously frightened, with her instincts and perception as the number one killer, she still found something different.

For example, Cao Ming’s infatuation with Huo Sisi seemed to have reached a sick level.

Cao Ming hid it very well, but he still couldn’t hide it from her eyes.
