Yan Jinyi and Huo Qingyuan gave each other the cold shoulder for almost a month.

During that period of time, Huo Qingyuan would deliberately call Zhou Yan on the phone and talk to him affectionately with sweet nothings whenever she was at the same table as Yan Jinyi.

Huo Zihang was sandwiched between them, but he dared not vent his frustration at all.

"Second Sister-in-law, do you plan to take on any new roles? I have a few drama scripts here that are pretty good."

Seeing Huo Qingyuan blow kisses into her cellphone, Huo Zihang rubbed the goosebumps on his arm before looking at Yan Jinyi again.

Yan Jinyi was chewing on an apple, fully immersed.

"I'm just an in-name artist of your company. Whatever job I take on in the future has nothing to do with you."

'The only reason that I'm tolerating you is that you are my Second Sister-in-law. If you were someone else, I would have kicked you out of the company.'

Huo Zihang secretly criticized.

"But the company also needs to be involved in some things. When the film is released, our employees will promote it."

This time, Yan Jinyi did not refuse.

She was looking forward to seeing the audience's reaction after the release of 'Female Fortress Leader'. Old Mr. Huo's birthday was a few days after the release date. Before then, she would not be taking on a new role.

After all, she didn't have the capital to negotiate with those people yet.

"The promotional events are starting tomorrow, right? Do you need me to hire some keyboard warriors to support you?"

Keyboard warriors?

"Do I lack fame so much that I need them to create clout for me?"

'Uh...'

Seeing Yan Jinyi and Huo Zihang chatting like nobody else was around, Huo Qingyuan also wanted to join in.

However...

Gritting her teeth, she raised her voice. "Really? Zhou Yan, you're awesome. You don't have to consider me, your future is important. I support your decision to go study abroad."

Yan Jinyi and Huo Zihang rolled their eyes in unison.

'How pretentious.'

After hanging up the phone, Huo Qingyuan abruptly stood up and said, "Zhou Yan has received an acceptance letter from an internationally renowned arts academy. He will be going abroad to further his studies soon. By then, he will become the most popular painter and newcomer of the arts scene."

As she spoke, she carefully scrutinized Yan Jinyi with her peripheral vision.

She expected to see a change in Yan Jinyi's expression at first, but in the end...

At this moment, Yan Jinyi was simply a replica of Huo Xishen, expressionless and resembling a stone statue.

"Huo Qingyuan, aren't you sick of this? We're not curious about where your gigolo is going to study. If you want to flaunt your relationship, go to the side."

Huo Zihang waved his hand with extreme annoyance.

'Gigolo?'

Huo Qingyuan slammed her hand on the table and snapped, "Third Brother, watch your words. Who are you to say that Zhou Yan is a gigolo?"

Huo Zihang retorted in displeasure, "Hmph, you're just like a retard. Given your poor judgment, you're only worthy of a lousy man like Zhou Yan."

'Second Sister-in-law must have badmouthed Zhou Yan in front of Third Brother!'

'If not, why would Third Brother say that when he hadn't even met Zhou Yan's before?'

Thinking about this, Huo Qingyuan glanced at Yan Jinyi resentfully with tears in her eyes. "Yan Jinyi, I hate you. I must have been blind to think that you're the only one who's worthy of Second Brother."

Yan Jinyi lifted her eyelids and said, "No man in the world is worthy of me."

"Hah, stay alone for the rest of your life then. Just you two wait and see, Zhou Yan and I will not only have a good relationship, we will also get married and have our own children."

After saying that, Huo Qingyuan stomped her feet and dashed upstairs while wiping her tears.

Huo Zihang coughed twice awkwardly. "Huo Qingyuan has always been spoiled rotten and pampered since she was a child. She doesn't know the viciousness of the human heart, plus she is a little bratty. You..."

"I can't be bothered to stoop to her level."

Yan Jinyi answered coldly and stood up with some milk. "Tomorrow, I'm going to promote the film with the crew. I won't be back for the next few days."
