Yan Jinyi refused to apologize to Cheng Ruoxue for kicking her. Cheng Ruoxue then called Huo Zihang, her investor boyfriend, who arrived at the set. Huo Zihang, protective of Cheng Ruoxue, demanded Yan Jinyi apologize, but she defiantly refused, angering him.

All members of the Huo Family were assigned personal bodyguards. Aware that Huo Zihang was poised for a physical confrontation, Cheng Ruoxue observed Yan Jinyi with a smug look, feeling incredibly self-satisfied. ‘See, the Third Young Master still cares about me after all.’ Huo Zihang gestured, and the two imposing bodyguards flanking him immediately advanced towards Yan Jinyi. The onlookers in the room averted their gazes, anticipating a brutal scene. However, after an extended period, Yan Jinyi remained silent, and no screams were heard. Instead… Yan Jinyi unhesitatingly seized a broom and swung it directly at Huo Zihang. The audacity of Yan Jinyi striking Huo Zihang caught everyone by surprise, including Huo Zihang himself. He only snapped out of his shock and comprehended the situation as the broomstick made contact with his body. A searing pain engulfed him, causing him to leap up and bellow, “How dare you strike me? Are you tired of living?” Enraged, Huo Zihang balled his fists, prepared to retaliate. Yet, before he could lay a hand on Yan Jinyi, she swiftly grabbed him from behind, effortlessly overpowering him. “You, you, how could you strike the Third Young Master of the Huo Family…” Unable to break free, Huo Zihang felt a surge of humiliation and fury that turned his handsome face crimson. The others stood frozen in disbelief, particularly Cheng Ruoxue, who was closest to the confrontation. She had a clear view of the entire event, and the sound of the broom connecting with Third Young Master Huo’s body still reverberated in her ears. “When I was a bandit, you had not even been born. You flaunt those pathetic skills, don't you find it shameful? All you know is to bully! I even dared to strike the emperor, why should I fear you? Since I am back, I will discipline you on behalf of your brother!” Huo Zihang, who had been eager to tear Yan Jinyi apart, was suddenly dumbfounded. ‘On my brother’s behalf?’ ‘My brother?’ ‘Wait, this woman is… Yan Jinyi?’ Damn it! ‘I was just trying to figure out why she seemed so familiar. This is my Second Sister-in-law, the one with almost no presence in the Huo Family. Since when did Yan Jinyi become so beautiful and so skilled in combat?’ While Huo Zihang was still reeling from the shock, the surrounding individuals began to retreat, fearing implication now that Yan Jinyi had dared to strike Huo Zihang. ‘She’s lost her mind, Yan Jinyi has lost her mind. She actually dared to hit Third Young Master Huo!’ “Get in the car.” Yan Jinyi commanded sternly before pulling open the car door and entering, disregarding Cheng Ruoxue and the others who stared at her with trepidation. ‘I’ll deal with these insignificant people later.’ Still stunned by her imposing demeanor, Huo Zihang followed her into the vehicle. Though Huo Zihang remained bewildered, Yan Jinyi had already begun discreetly assessing the luxurious car. ‘So this is the unique mode of transport in this world!’ ‘Not bad, not bad. It’s certainly faster than the transportation from my previous world.’ She was, in fact, somewhat taken aback herself. She had been an overbearing tyrant for twenty years in her past life, a bandit with countless admirers. Yet, in this life, she was already married, someone else's wife. Glancing at Huo Zihang from the corner of her eye, Yan Jinyi let out a small sigh. However, her life was precious to her, as she had waited 500 years for the chance to be resurrected! Spoiled heirs like Huo Zihang would eventually squander the Huo Family’s fortune. At the very least, she was the Second Young Mistress of the Huo Family, and for the sake of her future comfortable and leisurely life, she needed to keep an eye on him. As the car arrived at a grand mansion, Huo Zihang abruptly regained his senses, realizing he had been struck. He had been hit. For the first time in his twenty-seven years, Huo Zihang had been struck by a woman! Damn it! “Yan Jinyi, do you think you can act on Second Brother’s behalf and throw your weight around the Huo Family just because Second Brother is absent? Let me tell you, that’s impossible. Even without Second Brother here, you have no right to make decisions in the Huo Family. Now, hurry and kowtow thrice to apologize to me!” ‘It took him quite a while to react.’ Yan Jinyi smirked with disdain, ignoring Huo Zihang and pushing open the car door to exit. Huo Zihang became even more incensed by her attitude. However, just as he prepared to speak, he saw Yan Jinyi pulling out the branches that had been used to support the vines. Recalling how he had been hit by the broom earlier, he still felt a twinge of pain.

“You’re asking me to apologize, aren’t you?”

Yan Jinyi idly tapped a tree branch against a trunk, a nonchalant smirk playing on her lips as she raised an eyebrow. A hint of playfulness laced her tone.

Huo Zihang nervously swallowed, a shiver running down his spine as he instantly felt intimidated.
