"Darling, can you tell me what you want that plot of land for?"

'It's none of your business!'

"I want to use it to do what I want to."

Huo Xishen stared at her and asked, "Like what?"

'Like building two houses for my kept men.'

"I think it's dangerous to leave my immovable assets in the city!" Yan Jinyi said righteously.

'Immovable assets?'

Huo Xishen looked at her with a look of bewilderment. "Darling, what immovable assets do you have?"

'Why? Are you looking down on me?'

'The hunks of all walks of life are my greatest immovable assets.'

Of course, Yan Jinyi wouldn't be so silly as to say that in front of Huo Xishen.

She folded her arms and raised her chin condescendingly. "I have a few paintings and some gifts from friends, they're all my treasures. Aren't they considered immovable assets?"

"Yes."

"There are lots of bad guys in this city, so I want to go to the mountains to build a house to protect my treasures while providing my friends with a place to play in. Do you think there's something wrong with that?"

Huo Xishen pressed his thin lips together and said, "No."

"There you go. Let me tell you, I'm not greedy and I keep a low profile all the time. I don't want Grandpa's island. Otherwise, I won't even want that lousy mountain of yours."

Hearing her word,s Huo Xishen suddenly said ambiguously, "Darling, are you hinting that I didn't give you a baby?"

"…"

'Damn it, I forgot that the old man said that the island will go to whoever gives birth first.'

Yan Jinyi finally got what she wanted, and that was to rent the plot of land on the mountain at a price of 10,000 yuan a month.

The land was about a few hundred acres. Although it wasn't very large, it was more than enough for a small cottage to be built.

She personally sketched the blueprint for the Black Cloud Fortress and even spent a huge sum of money on hiring a professional team of designers to edit and design it.

The thought of the fact that her Black Cloud Fortress would be established again in a few months made Yan Jinyi feel that she could live for a few decades longer!

Huo Qingyuan discovered that Yan Jinyi seemed to be in an extremely good mood the past few days as she would be smiling even when she saw Zhang Guoquan whom she hated.

As a result, Zhang Guoquan lived on tenterhooks every day as he felt that she seemed to be plotting something against him.

Ever since Yan Jinyi withdrew from the variety show, she committed all her energy into filming for "The Tumultuous Harem" while Liu Ran had been particularly quiet.

"Jinyi, you're about to be done with shooting for all your scenes. Why don't we all get together for a meal tonight? Dinner's on me," Chen Keyi said, patting Yan Jinyi on her shoulder with his eyes full of admiration.

'She's got excellent potential. Once she sharpens and hones her skills further, she won't be inferior to Zhuang Heng.'

Yan Jinyi was just about to turn him down when Liu Ran walked over smilingly and said, "Yes, Jinyi, you're always absent for our gatherings. Now that we're almost done with filming, let's have a meal together."

Yan Jinyi frowned slightly and stared at Liu Ran.

Faced with Yan Jinyi's gaze, Liu Ran suddenly felt a little guilty. "I don't mean anything else I just think that we should have a meal together since we've been working together for such a long time after all."

"Sure!" Yan Jinyi suddenly said.

Liu Ran secretly heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Director Chen, I told you Jinyi wouldn't turn us down."

'Liu Ran took the initiative to invite us to a meal? Tsk...'

'Interesting.'

The opulent and dazzling building had a luxurious and eye-catching decor.

It was the best hotel in the city.

"My younger brother brought his friend along, I hope you guys won't mind," Liu Ran said as she bowed to everyone.

"Turns out you have a younger brother, Liu Ran. Don't worry, we won't mind. Since he's your younger brother, that makes him family."

"Yes, yes, Sister Liu Ran treats us to a meal all the time. Besides, if Director Chen doesn't mind, why would we!?!"

Liu Ran's smile was rather hypocritical.

Yan Jinyi quietly walked behind them and she thought, 'Hasn't Liu Ran's brother been nabbed for committing a crime?'
