Madam Is A Sensational Figure In The City Chapter 928

“Why? Have you all been bribed by Leng Yuxi so soon?” Leng Yuxi mocked, “I’m the daughter you’ve raised for over two decades. Leng Yuxi means nothing at all. Must you all be so heartless and ruthless?”

Leng Jing’s complexion turned somewhat ashen; she really felt that she had always treated Leng Yuxi quite well.

“Leng Yuxi, who gave you the permission to speak to Mom like that? If you hadn’t repeatedly made mistakes, you would still be our family even if your wrongdoings were exposed.”

Yan Jinyi’s parents had passed away quite a long time ago; if they had gone through the proper adoption procedures, no one would have dared to say anything.

Leng Yuxi had brought everything upon herself, completely exhausting the Bai family’s affection for her.

!!

“All you do is patronize me. All of you are the same. You’re all in league with Yan Jinyi. Get lost, I don’t want to see any of you!”

Leng Yuxi began to smash things around the room in a fit of hysterics, behaving like a lunatic.

Bai Moliang reacted swiftly, pulling Leng Jing and Yan Jinyi behind him. “Let’s leave. She’s beyond redemption.”

Leng Jing’s eyes welled up, gazing at Leng Yuxi with a complex mixture of emotions. “Yuxi, I hope you can turn over a new leaf and live a better life. You deserve punishment for killing your biological grandmother.”

“She’s not my grandmother. She’s not!”

Leng Yuxi completely broke down. “I’m the heiress of the Bai family, not the granddaughter of a woman like that. You’re all swindlers trying to seize my identity!”

“There are a few things I would like to discuss with you privately.”

Yan Jinyi suddenly spoke.

Bai Moliang refused without a second thought. “No, I’ll stay here with you.”

“Why? Her legs are still cuffed; she can’t possibly devour me, can she?”

Bai Moliang hesitated for a moment before leaving with Leng Jing.

Curled up in the corner of the bed, Leng Yuxi started to mumble to herself, her eyes vacant and unfocused.

“Tsk, tsk, what a pity,” Yan Jinyi shook her head and remarked, “This is likely the final time I’ll be seeing you. Yuxi, I’m about to give birth to your beloved Xishen’s child very soon.”

“Child?”

Leng Yuxi abruptly lifted her head and shrieked, “Liar! Xishen would never allow a woman like you to be pregnant with his offspring.”

“Would he impregnate you then? You’re already in your twenties, yet why are you so dim-witted? Your parents and brother have abandoned you. You’ve even murdered your own grandmother…”

“G-Get lost. I didn’t do it. You clearly murdered her, yet you’ve usurped my identity. You shameless hussy, you’re destined for a terrible end!”

Yan Jinyi cast a glance at Leng Yuxi, who was acting like a madwoman, and after a moment, let out a cold snort before turning to depart.

“You’ve lost your mind.”

Whether Leng Yuxi was in a stable state of mind or not, it was only a matter of time before she genuinely became a patient.

Some individuals choose to embrace despair, while others opt for oblivion.

It was merely a matter of selection.

By the time she returned home, it was already nighttime. The weather was pleasant, with countless stars illuminating the sky; it was truly beautiful.

After donning a comfortable set of loungewear, Yan Jinyi prepared to head to Huo Qingyuan’s room. However, as she passed by the study, she noticed that Huo Xishen had already returned.

Assistant Wen stood respectfully beside him. Both Huo Zihang and Huo Zikun were present; they must have just received a scolding, as they were seated on the sofa with their heads bowed.

“Hey, it’s quite a gathering!”

Yan Jinyi swaggered over.

Typically, Huo Xishen would certainly offer her some water and inquire about her day.

However, something seemed amiss with Doggy Huo today!

“Are you being obtuse?”

Yan Jinyi interjected again. Huo Xishen finally closed his laptop and turned to cast a cold glance at her. “Darling, are you satisfied with today’s meal?”

“Huh?”

Under Huo Xishen’s gaze, Yan Jinyi couldn’t help but feel a touch apprehensive. “Haha, yes. I even paid a visit to Leng Yuxi with Bai Moliang and his mother.”

Chapter 929: Sangsang Will Sleep With Me Tonight

“Darling, there must be something else that has pleased you.”

Yan Jinyi asked with an innocent expression, “What are you referring to, Mr. Huo?”

Huo Xishen abruptly stood up, causing everyone else in the room to instinctively flinch.

Yan Jinyi appeared remarkably composed, which was rather surprising. Seeing him approach, she even puffed out her cheeks and inquired, “What? Are you going to hit me for having hotpot with Bai Moliang?”

Huo Xishen extended his hand suddenly, but Yan Jinyi instinctively took a step back.

Huo Zihang, Huo Qingyuan, and Assistant Wen all presumed Huo Xishen intended to strike her, but he merely placed his hand on her head and gently ruffled her hair.

“Since your wish has been granted, do you have the time to select an infant’s cot now?”

Yan Jinyi’s eyes held a look of bewilderment.

“Grandpa intends to convert a spare room on the second floor into a nursery for our baby.”

‘A nursery!’

Tan Sangsang, who had previously lived frugally, had always spared no expense for Mumu. She had even gone so far as to set up a dedicated baby room for him, a fact that Yan Jinyi had once envied.

“Who is footing the bill?”

“Certainly not you.”

Yan Jinyi let out a breath of relief, and Huo Xishen managed to successfully placate her.

The expansive study fell into an immediate silence.

“Third Young Master, Miss, since there is nothing further, I shall take my leave for the day.”

Huo Zihang felt a pang of envy; he, too, desired to prepare a nursery for his own son.

“Ah, this is utterly unfair. I want a boyfriend too!”

Huo Qingyuan patted her cheeks, feeling forlorn as the sole unattached individual present.

Even Mumu had managed to develop a crush on a girl.

Huo Zihang quickly retreated to his room to retrieve his keys.

*

Tan Sangsang had just finished soothing Mumu to sleep. Recently, the publishing house had decided to launch a new social media platform focused on relationship advice, and Tan Sangsang was slated to helm the project.

Her days were now consumed by gathering information and scheduling interviews.

Given that it was a reputable publishing house, countless manuscripts were submitted. However, very few of the stories resonated with her.

If the stories couldn't stir her emotions, how could they possibly connect with the readers?

“Sangsang, you’re being incredibly stubborn. You could easily fabricate a suitable story for this; there certainly won’t be an abundance of genuine accounts.”

A primary reason Tan Sangsang rejected most submissions was their fabricated nature.

“We’re seeking authentic narratives. We possess the capability to invent fictional tales ourselves.”

Gazing at Tan Sangsang, who had her head bent over her computer, Mrs. Tan couldn't help but heave a sigh.

Suddenly, a series of knocks echoed from the door.

“Could you please see who’s at the door for me?”

Tan Sangsang adjusted her glasses with a nonchalant air. However, the knocking persisted for an extended period.

Just as she was about to rise and investigate, she witnessed Mrs. Tan ushering Huo Zihang inside.

“Third Young Master Huo, to what do we owe the pleasure of this visit?”

“I’ve come to see my wife and son, and also to deliver some tonics to Mom,” Huo Zihang declared boldly.

“Who is your mother? Watch your words,” Tan Sangsang retorted.

Disregarding Tan Sangsang’s words, Huo Zihang placed the tonics on the table. “Mom, please consume more of these tonics; they are beneficial for your health. Where is Mumu?”

Mrs. Tan held a favorable opinion of Huo Zihang, attributing it to his eloquent speech and kind disposition. He seemed genuinely determined to win over Tan Sangsang, despite her reserved demeanor towards him.

“He has just fallen asleep. Would you like me to wake him?”

“No need, let him rest. It’s been a demanding day, and I was hoping to stay over tonight. Might I…?”

Tan Sangsang immediately interjected, “Absolutely not. There is no available room for you here. If you cannot stay at home, a hotel would be your best option.”

“I inadvertently left my wallet at home in my haste to depart. Sangsang, can you truly be so heartless towards me?” Huo Zihang inquired, his tone laced with extreme distress. Tan Sangsang rubbed her temples and questioned, “Are you unaware of mobile payment options?”

“Why squander money on a hotel room when he can simply stay here with us? Zihang, you can occupy Sangsang’s room, and Sangsang can share my room tonight,” Mrs. Tan interjected harmoniously.
