Chapter 687: Dupe Them, Of Course

Huo Xishen pretended to be extremely innocent and he said, “Darling, I was shocked by your sudden enthusiasm.”
“Mr. Huo, I’m also shocked that you’ve suddenly become so timid,” Yan Jinyi said with a mirthless smirk.
Huo Xishen nodded seriously and said, “It seems that both of us are very timid, Darling. I suggest that we hire more bodyguards for protection.”
“…”
Yan Jinyi said with contempt in her eyes, “Mr. Huo, I find you really shameless.”
“Shame means nothing in front of you, Darling.”
‘No, Huo Xishen is too shrewd. I can’t stand it.’
The moment she thought of the embarrassing image just now, Yan Jinyi wished she could make those people disappear from this world.
As she expected, Huo Zihang kept his eyes glued to her during dinner.
There was obvious jealousy and envy, which was unique to singletons, in his peach-blossom-shaped eyes, as well as some thirst for gossip and curiosity about the aftermath of the video call.
Yan Jinyi bit the bullet and continued to eat. She finally couldn’t help but drop her chopsticks on the table and snap, “Huo Zihang, keep staring and I’ll gouge your eyes out.”
Huo Zihang suddenly felt a chill down his back and shook his head as he continued to eat seriously.
“Look at how much you’re overreacting. Your brother and I are married. Why can’t I flirt with him or seduce him? If you’re upset, why don’t you let me flirt with you too?”
Huo Zihang secretly thought to himself, ‘I wish you would but I don’t dare to.’
As soon as Yan Jinyi said that, Huo Xishen instantly sulked and said, “Darling, it is the responsibility of a married woman to maintain proper distance from men.”
‘Ugh!’
Yan Jinyi glared at Huo Xishen in exasperation and corrected him seriously, “I’m a young woman, one of the hottest actresses in the entertainment industry now!”
After three years of working as a background actress, she finally made a name for herself and become a superstar. No matter what, she couldn’t let anyone find out that she was married.
Especially the fact that she was married to Huo Xishen!
Huo Xishen chose to ignore her and instead cocked his head to the side to face Huo Zihang. “Go to Chengyu’s after you’re done eating.”
“Okay, Second Brother.”
Yan Jinyi discovered that Huo Qingyuan had been winking at her so she knew that the latter must have completed the task she was given.
After the meal, Huo Qingyuan sauntered to Yan Jinyi’s room together with her.
“How was it?”
“Second Sister-in-law, that fraudulent company has operations all over the country, and your cousin is the first one they’ve successfully conned since arriving in the city. Second Sister-in-law, he and his family are an atrocious bunch, you shouldn’t help them.”
Yan Jinyi said indifferently, “Who said I’m going to help them?”
“Why did you ask us to investigate then?”
“Of course it’s to cheat them. Duh?”
The next morning, Yan Jinyi dolled herself up and went to meet the so-called talent scout.
She asked to meet him in the name of Second Young Mistress Huo.
In the very luxuriously decorated teahouse, Yan Jinyi sat at the table elegantly with a delicate coffee cup in her hand while Huo Qingyuan stood behind her like a maid.
Soon, a middle-aged man with a big belly came over, clad in a leather jacket and holding a briefcase. He had a pair of large black-framed glasses on his face and he really looked the part.
He cautiously approached Yan Jinyi and asked, “Are you Second Young Mistress Huo? How come you look so much like the actress named Yan Jinyi?”
“I’m Yan Jinyi, Second Young Mistress Huo’s representative. Liu Chen should have mentioned me to you.”
‘It’s really Yan Jinyi, is she hat close to the Second Young Mistress Huo?’
Suddenly, the middle-aged man recalled that Liu Chen had said something about Yan Jinyi being his cousin, and he began to wonder if it was really true.
