NovelEnglishChapter 50: Pompous Best Actor
He even had a feeling that if Huo Qingyuan was not Yan Jinyi’s sister-in-law, he might have to attend her funeral tomorrow!
‘Ah, my head hurts.’
Yan Jinyi was in a foul mood for the rest of the day because the memories of her past had been raked up.
When Huo Zihang sent Huo Qingyuan to school, he didn’t even dare to greet her.
Yan Jinyi was cooling off in the garden when Zhang Guoquan and the other servants pushed each other to approach her as none of them dared to disturb her.
Finally, Yan Jinyi discovered their presence.
“What’s wrong?”
“Ahem, Second Young Mistress, your phone keeps ringing.”
Zhang Guoquan handed Yan Jinyi’s cell phone over respectfully.
Yan Jinyi was holding a copy of ‘The Da Vinci Code’ in her hand and was reading it with great interest. Hence, she forgot about her cell phone.

“You’re welcome. Second Young Mistress, Third Young Master just called to say that Miss Huo is at school. He’s meeting a friend at noon and will not return, so what would you like to eat at noon?”
Just as she was about to say something, her cell phone began ringing again.
“Hello?”
“Ah, Jinyi, you’ve finally answered the call. Zhuang Heng called me this morning and agreed to play the male lead of my film. I was really shocked!”
Yan Jinyi frowned and asked, “Director Tao?”
“It’s me, well since the male and female leads have been decided, I will find someone to produce the promotional posters. Shall we announce the film tonight?”
“I’m only responsible for acting.”
In other words, she was not concerned about the other matters.
Tao Wei simply treated Yan Jinyi and the mysterious ‘Second Young Mistress of the Huo Family’ as if they were gods to be worshiped. He answered, “Yes, yes, yes. Um, Jinyi, actually I am quite curious about something.”
“Director Tao, go ahead and say it.”
“Um, Second Young Mistress… I’ve asked around privately, but it seems that no one knows anything about Second Young Master Huo’s marriage. Um… did you make a mistake? Is the investor Young Mistress Huo and not Second Young Mistress Huo?”
“No, they’re just keeping their marriage a secret because both her and Mr. Huo like to keep a low profile.”
“Oh, I see, but no matter what, you must thank Second Young Mistress for me. She’s a huge benefactor.”
Yan Jinyi’s delicate face turned sullen.
After hanging up, she hesitated and contemplated if she should inform her in-name husband about what she had spent 100 million yuan on.
Her cell phone rang again, but it was a call from a number that she didn’t recognize. The number seemed rather auspicious too.
‘Since when did I become so popular?’
While sipping on some fruit juice, she pressed the speaker button and asked, “Who’s speaking?”
“Hello baby, does my beloved feisty little pepper miss me yet?”
‘Little pepper?’
‘Baby?’

‘Has Second Young Master been made a cuckold?’
Yan Jinyi knew who it was as soon as she heard his playful and shameless voice.
It was the pompous ‘Best Actor’ Zhuang Heng.
“What is it?”
“After the Best Actor got beaten up by you, he suddenly found you so charming that his heart is beating hard for you. So, on your account, I’ve decided to star in Tao Wei’s film.”
‘Best Actor’
‘Who?’
Zhang Guoquan secretly hated himself for not paying enough attention to the entertainment industry.
However, he had obtained a very important piece of news.
Yan Jinyi had somehow beaten up the ‘Best Actor’ who seemed to be a masochist and had thus fallen for her!
‘What a sin.’
Zhuang Heng continued to rattle on and on about not minding the fact that Yan Jinyi was an unimportant actress and that he didn’t mind her uncouthness.
After he said an entire chunk of lines, Yan Jinyi simply replied, “Oh.”
