Chen Yulian was still playing the sympathy card as she didn't notice Yan Jinyi's expression at all.

"I'm not asking for anything in return, I just want to borrow some money for your younger brother to further his studies abroad."

After saying that, Chen Yulian stared at Yan Jinyi for a long time.

After slowly finishing a mouthful of red wine, Yan Jinyi asked indifferently, "Are you done?"

Stunned for a moment, Chen Yulian nodded and said, "Jinyi, take it that I'm begging you. It's rare for your cousin to be so interested in something. Furthering his studies abroad is going to be beneficial for him, it'll help him get a good wife."

After a few moments of silence, Yan Jinyi suddenly smiled sweetly.

Chen Yulian sighed in relief and was just about to take out her ATM card when Yan Jinyi said, "No."

"You..."

Yan Jinyi lifted her head to look Chen Yulian in the eye and said, "Haven't I made myself clear enough? I'm not lending you any money."

'What's wrong with this little b*tch?'

'Does she think she's a big deal now that she has married into the Huo Family for quite some time?'

Suppressing the anger within her, Chen Yulian forced a smile and said, "Jinyi, are you joking? I know you're kindhearted, you definitely won't leave your cousin in the lurch since this concerns his future."

"I remember that you and Uncle seem to only have one daughter."

Chen Yulian looked a little angered. "Your cousin may not be your uncle's flesh and blood, but your uncle has always treated him as his own!"

"What has it got to do with me then? I don't treat him like my son."

Sensing that her smile was about to vanish, Chen Yulian felt a strong urge to strangle Yan Jinyi to death.

"Did someone badmouth us to you? Jinyi, it's not like we're not going to return the money, you..."

"I remember lending you 100,000 yuan seven months ago." Yan Jinyi stretched her hand out and said, "Return that to me first."

The original Yan Jinyi was prideful, but to put it bluntly, she was just a fool.

She had already married Huo Xishen and yet she insisted on having a backbone and refused to spend a single cent of his money. The 100,000 yuan that she had lent Chen Yulian was her hard-earned money from being a background actress.

Unlike her predecessor, Yan Jinyi would definitely agree without hesitation, even if someone offered 10 million yuan in exchange for her to leave Huo Xishen and beat him up badly.

As for those who wanted to borrow money from her...

Hah!

"No, I don't have any money, you may leave."

Chen Yulian could no longer be bothered to be pretentious with Yan Jinyi.

'This little b*tch has no money? Who is she kidding? She's already married to Huo Xishen and even if he doesn't like her now, how can she be too broke to afford just a few hundred grands?'

'Old Master Huo is so fond of her, he definitely showers her with expensive gifts all the time.'

"Yan Jinyi, are you sure you don't want to lend me any money?"

'She's falling out with me now, huh?'

Yan Jinyi raised her eyebrows and stuck her thumb up. "No, not lending you any money!"

"Yan Jinyi, don't take it too far. I'm talking to you nicely but don't push my limits. Hmph, do you think you're a big deal just because you married into the Huo Family? If I tell the Huo Family about your shameless past, you can get ready to be driven out of this family!"

'She's threatening me now, huh?'

Yan Jinyi remained still and she even asked curiously, "Is that so? What's so shameless about my past? Why don't you cite an example?"

'What does she mean by that? Is she denying all her shameless acts?'

"Hmph, you're two-timing. Even after you married Mr. Huo, you're still in love with your old flame."

'How come I didn't know that I have an old flame?'

After saying her piece, Chen Yulian looked at Yan Jinyi conceitedly, waiting to hear her apology.

"I thought it was a huge matter. I have a new lover too, what more an old flame?"

How could the stingy Yan Jinyi be willing to lend money to someone else?
