Chapter 41

Huo Yan, who had been taken advantage of by the brother and sister, felt extremely aggrieved and angry.

He looked at Xu Yao, the accomplice who was so happy holding the check, and suggested gently: "A Yao, can you let me and your sister be alone for a while?"

Xu Yao subconsciously looked at Xu Yinyin, who gave her a permissive look.

"No problem, see you later, brother-in-law."

He waved goodbye to Huo Yan, and as he passed by Xu Yinyin, he lowered his voice and said, "Sister, let's split it fifty-fifty."

Xu Yinyin blinked at him and secretly made an OK gesture.

If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a bastard.

Huo Yan calmly watched the two of them divide the spoils as if no one was around, they were really reckless :)

After Xu Yao left, Huo Yan directly said, "Are you ready to play along with me to the end?"

"Well, if you can't stand it, you can quit now."

Huo Yan snorted and laughed, "No, that won't work. I've already taken the loss and spent the money. I won't stop until I get my money back. Since we both need to have fun, why don't we just continue to cooperate like this? It will also save the family from having to find someone else."

"Of course there's no problem with cooperation, but I'm not doing it for free, you have to pay me." Xu Yinyin said as a matter of course.

"Only what? Don't you need someone to cover you up as well?" Huo Yan was irritated by her money-obsessed look.

"I need someone to cover for me, but that person doesn't have to be you. You know, I was just recognized as a rich family, and the whole family is vying to pamper me. If I don't want to get married, no one will force me. After all, they have always felt guilty about holding the wrong child. They can't even make up for me, so how could they embarrass me?"

Xu Yinyin looked at Huo Yan with a smile, "But you are different. You have been living a life of luxury since you were a child. Your family has never owed you anything. After you became an adult, your career has been smooth and you have achieved success. The only thing left is getting married and having children. Your family will definitely try their best to find a marriage for you. Without me, you still have Miss Zhang, Miss Wang, and Miss Li. It's really not too annoying, right?"

Xu Yinyin looked at him with sympathy and pretended to have a headache.

"I worry about you just thinking about it. If you meet another infatuated person who falls in love with you at first sight and makes a fuss just to marry you, the situation will be even more chaotic. But I'm different. There will be nothing else between us except win-win cooperation. You and I know this very well. Plus, my acting is so good, you will only benefit from working with me. Don't worry too much, okay?"

Huo Yan was amused by her brazen words. Although what she said was not entirely unreasonable, he just didn't want to be controlled by her.

"I also have a solution that is the most worry-free and permanent. You only need to spend a small amount of money to permanently solve the worry of being urged to get married."

Xu Yinyin snorted and laughed, "Don't tell me that you want to marry me so that you can just shut up both families with a marriage of convenience, and then we can each do our own things after marriage and not interfere with each other, right?"

Huo Yan was shocked that he could even guess this.

"What's so surprising about this? This was originally my second plan. Since you mentioned it, I'll add a few points. You can get married directly. The betrothal gift can be deducted from your labor costs. After marriage, I will play the role of a good wife, accompany you to deal with various elders, and attend parties that require my presence. As for children, I can also sacrifice my reputation and tell others that I will not have children, but I will generously help you find a mistress to ensure that the incense continues to flow in your generation. At that time, I will also be responsible for covering for you and ensuring that you and your mistress love each other and grow old together."

Huo Yan's expression gradually cracked. How could there be such a weird thing in the world!

"By the way, if your mistress is unhappy, I can also pretend to be dead and make room for your precious wife to become your permanent wife. As long as the money is in place, I will definitely meet all your needs. What do you think? Am I very professional? The cost-effectiveness should not be too high."

"By the way, since this plan consumes a lot of my youth and takes a long time, the price must not be too low. After all, I am a famous lady worth hundreds of millions. If I give you too little, it will be embarrassing for you."

"Ha!" Huo Yan was so angry that he sneered, "Xu Yinyin, you know you are worth 10 billion, how dare you ask for so much from me, the Lion? You really think I'm a sucker!"

"It's not like that. My net worth of 10 billion was given by the Xu family. It has nothing to do with you. Who says that people with high net worth can work for others without getting paid? Let's put it one way or another, okay? Look at how stingy you are. Don't be so petty."

"you--"

"What? Was I wrong? If you want to be so picky, you can find someone else. Anyway, we have two grandsons, Xu Yao and Xu Yao. As long as one of them gets married and has children, I won't be urged to get married. It seems that you are the only one in your family. Just wish you the best."

Xu Yinyin stood up and was about to walk out, counting silently in her heart as she walked. Just when she counted to three, Huo Yan compromised.

"Stop, go back and draw up a contract based on the plan of not getting married. I'll take a look at it and then we can discuss it."

Xu Yinyin turned her back to him and smiled: [Little guy, I can't control you anymore, hehe~]

Huo Yan gritted his teeth silently. Although she was shameless enough, his situation was indeed tricky. Thinking of his frequent encounters with the young ladies of various families in the past year, his head ached.

Instead of going on blind box blind dates all the time, it would be better to cooperate with Xu Yinyin. Just being able to hear her voice would save him a lot of worry.

"Mr. Huo is very understanding. I will draft the contract now and send it to you tonight. Bye~"

Xu Yinyin smiled and waved her fingers, her smug and happy look pierced Huo Yan's heart.

He has been racing in the mall for so many years, but this is the first time he is controlled by others. How hateful!

"Forget it, there's no need to wait until tonight. Just draft it now and we can discuss it while we eat. It will be faster this way."

"Okay!" Xu Yinyin immediately took out her mobile phone, opened her notebook and waved her fingers.

Seeing how skilled she was, Huo Yan felt like he was on a pirate ship. Did she have a plan all along?

[Umbro, isn't your efficiency a bit too high? Did you have this plan in mind a long time ago? ]

[Just kidding, pretending to be a couple with a wealthy and generous boss, a deal for money instead of love, that's a hot topic in online novels. The authors have already provided a template for the content and remuneration of the cooperation, so it's easy to do it. If I don't hurry up, Huo Yan will come to his senses later, and I won't be able to find a sucker. This is called taking advantage of his confusion to kill him.]

Huo Yan: “…” I knew she had bad intentions!

Huo Yan took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress his anger at being plotted against.

Just think of it as spending money to buy peace of mind. Money is the least worthwhile thing to him.

Huo Yan took Xu Yinyin to a western restaurant. As soon as they sat down, Huo Yan saw a familiar figure walking towards him with surprise in his eyes.

He looked at Xu Yinyin who was sitting opposite him and said hastily, "Help me to hold it up, and I'll transfer one million to you later."

“Huh?!”

Xu Yinyin was shocked and confused. Just as she was about to ask more questions, she heard a clear and joyful voice behind her: "Ayan, it's really you. When did you return to China?"

When Xu Yinyin heard the voice, she looked back and saw a pretty figure in light pink sitting down leisurely next to Huo Yan, her eyes following him from beginning to end.

The woman has a red mouth, a steep nose, slightly curved almond eyes, and is pretty and charming. She is the sweet girl that is most popular among men nowadays.

Xu Yinyin understood that the one million yuan was used to buy the service of protecting Huo Yan from romantic affairs!

"My dear, is this lady your friend?"

Xu Yinyin took the initiative to speak to attract the other party's attention.

The woman's smile froze, and she looked at Xu Yinyin reluctantly.

Before Huo Yan could speak, she asked him in an intimate tone: "Brother Yan, who is she? Why did she call you dear? Are you familiar with her?"

She knew that Huo Yan didn't like contact with the opposite sex, and any date he had with the opposite sex alone must have been a blind date arranged by his family. The other party was so anxious to raise his status just to show his presence.

Xu Yinyin held her chin and looked at Huo Yan with a smile. Her determined look made Gao Lin feel nervous.

"Let me introduce her to you. She's my girlfriend Xu Yinyin. Yinyin, this is Gao Lin, the daughter of my grandmother's friend."

"Girlfriend?! When did it happen? Why wasn't there any sign before?!" Gao Lin looked helpless and shocked.

Xu Yinyin grasped the key point in her words and asked, "From the tone of Miss Gao's voice, I feel like you are always monitoring A-Yan. What do you mean by 'there were no signs before this?'"

Gao Lin's face changed, oh no!

[Wow, Umbro, this woman has a big melon, do you want to eat it? ]

Gao Lin was shocked again. Who was talking? What big news?!

[Don't tell me, because she likes Huo Yan, she hired someone to follow her 24 hours a day and report her whereabouts, right?]

Xu Yinyin was not interested, but Gao Lin felt a chill down her spine.

She didn't even see Xu Yinyin speak, so how come she heard her voice again, and was talking fluently with another voice? Also, were they preparing to eat their own melons?

Oh fuck!

"I mean, I've known A-Yan for many years, and I've never seen him fall in love. It's a bit sudden."

Gao Lin suppressed the shock in her heart and glanced at Huo Yan next door. Seeing that he was calm and composed, she thought she was hallucinating.

[She didn't hire anyone to follow him, she followed him herself, and took a lot of photos of Huo Yan privately, in formal wear, casual wear, and pajamas. There is a darkroom in the basement of her house, which is covered with photos of Huo Yan. She even made a life-size pillow for Huo Yan, and hugged it every night when she slept.]

[Oh my god, this little sister looks lively and playful, is she so perverted in private? ]

Xu Yinyin and Huo Yan shuddered at the same time. The latter showed fear in his eyes and moved to the other end quietly, moving away from her.

Gao Lin saw the reactions of the two people and was almost certain that Huo Yan could also hear Xu Yinyin's thoughts. Damn it!

"It was indeed a bit sudden. I didn't expect that we would fall in love at first sight at the same time." Xu Yinyin played the role of girlfriend very attentively and showed her affection.

"Love at first sight? For both of them?!!" Gao Lin was so shocked that she didn't care at all about her obscene behavior being exposed.

Huo Yan was known for not being interested in women, but he suddenly told her that he fell in love with her at first sight. This was too fake.

"The first time I saw Yinyin, I knew she was the one for me. I know it's unbelievable, but it happened to me."

Huo Yan gazed at Xu Yinyin affectionately, and she also looked back at him, as if there was no one else in the world.

Gao Lin was so stunned by the sticky eye contact between the two that she shut herself off. Words can be fabricated, but eyes cannot be biased. It was obvious that Huo Yan loved the other person terribly.

Oh~ I'm not willing to accept this. Why have I liked him for so many years but got no response? Then Cheng Yaojin showed up and fell in love with him at first sight. How miserable and sad this person is!

"I remember now. Weren't you just adopted as the daughter of the Xu family a few days ago?" Gao Lin immediately seized the key point and counterattacked.

"It's me." Xu Yinyin admitted generously.

She had already thought of the other party's arrangements, but Xiao Qi also knew her melons. If she continued to commit suicide, she wouldn't mind eating it in front of her.

As long as she works hard enough, all of Huo Yan's future bad luck in love will be taken care of by her. She can make a million at a time without any worries!

Although she is already rich enough, the sense of accomplishment from making money is irreplaceable, especially when money like this is right in front of her, it would be a waste not to make it!

"I see you look so weak and fragile. How is your life in the orphanage? Has anyone bullied you? Is the director's mother kind to you? I know a friend who also grew up in an orphanage. Because she was bullied for a long time, she suffered from depression and had serious suicidal tendencies. I don't think you have had this experience, right?"

"Wow, there are so many people who are curious about my life experience, but you are the only one who calls the dean "Mom". It's obvious that you are being affectionate from the bottom of your heart. I wonder if you have also been there?"

Gao Lin's face changed. "How could I have been in an orphanage? I am the legitimate daughter of the He family. I grew up in luxury. Brother Yan knows this best because my grandmother and Grandma Yan are close friends."

Xu Yinyin said "Oh" in a long tone, "Since they are close friends, they will definitely share secrets. Do you think your grandma will tell Grandma Yan that you were adopted?"

Gao Lin's pupils shrank slightly. Only Mr. He and his wife knew her life story. If she really wanted to reveal it, she would probably tell Yan Yashan.

Yan Yashan might tell Huo Yan again, and if Huo Yan told Xu Yinyin even such gossip, it meant that the two of them were so close that they had no secrets.

Woo~ Damn Huo Yan, how could he fall in love at first sight and be unable to extricate himself, woo~

"Oh, I know one more thing. Before Grandpa He died last year, he arranged a marriage for you, and your grandmother presided over the engagement ceremony. This is no secret in the entire wealthy family. Since you are already engaged, why don't you keep a distance from other people of the opposite sex? Even if you and A Yan have been friends since childhood, you should know how to avoid suspicion now that you have grown up. It's not right to call him brother in front of his girlfriend. Isn't this deliberately trying to sow discord? Your behavior makes it hard for me not to think that you have feelings for A Yan that go beyond friendship."

"I--"

"Yin Yin, you're the only one I've liked since I was a child. I have no interest in other women at all. If I dare to tell you a lie, I'll go bankrupt tomorrow!" Huo Yan swore hastily.

Gao Lin looked at Huo Yan in astonishment. In order to distance himself from the matter, he actually swore such a poisonous oath. It showed how much he hated her!

"Brother Yan, how could you make such a cruel oath? Even if I really like you, you don't have to humiliate me like this!"

"Ayan didn't humiliate you. He just found out that you and your fiancé have been doing something small recently. You bought illegal drugs for grandma to take, and planned to send her to a mental hospital. You also planned to seize all of grandma's property. Compared to your shameless and despicable ungrateful behavior, Ayan's humiliation is nothing, right, dear!"

Xu Yinyin blinked at Huo Yan.

"Yes, that's right." Huo Yan agreed, but in his heart he cursed Xu Yinyin.

Good guy, you brought your companions to dig up other people's dirt, and then you blamed it on him and helped him to create hatred. You are really something!

It's another day of worrying about both money and personal safety :)

"What did you say? Tan Yong clearly said that it was a health-preserving medicine specially made for grandma from abroad, and it can prolong her life."

"If he was really being filial, why did he use your identity information when buying drugs? Wasn't it to get the police to come after you when the truth came out? He also took advantage of the time when you were stalking your sweetheart and tricked your unconscious grandmother into signing a real estate transfer, transferring a lot of cash and cashing out stocks. He was going to run away with his lover at the weekend, leaving the shabby stall to you so that you could spend the rest of your life in jail!"

"No, he won't. He is so obedient. He is marrying up to me. He should keep to himself. He doesn't have the guts to do such a thing."

"He is indeed cowardly, but his partner is a master liar. The two of them have been targeting you for a long time. They know that grandma's biological son has died and you are an adopted daughter. In addition, your grandfather is also gone. You are the best choice to make a fortune. You are just pretending to be honest and obedient. The real purpose is to steal money and kill people."

"No, no, you're talking nonsense!" Gao Lin had lost all hope at this moment. As Xu Yinyin described, some details became clearer and clearer.

"Whether it's nonsense or not, you can find out if you investigate it yourself. Since you were able to find someone to follow A-Yan without being discovered, it means you have some skills. It's not too late to investigate now."

Gao Lin staggered to his feet and walked unsteadily.

Xu Yinyin didn't forget to add one more thing, "By the way, the one who eloped with your fiancé is a man, don't look in the wrong direction!"

Gao Lin's legs went limp and she fell to her knees, not knowing who to scold first.

She shouldn't have come to touch the mold, ah!!!

Gao Lin was finally carried out by the waiter.

After Xu Yinyin watched her leave in a hurry, she curled her lips and smiled slightly.

[I work so hard, Huo Gou will definitely be impressed by my professional skills, hehe! ]

Huo Yan stared at the back of her head with gritted teeth, his hands hanging at his sides already clenched into fists.

He wanted to give her a few blows on the head, it was so immoral!

Xu Yinyin turned around and sat back down. Huo Yan returned to normal in a second and looked at her with a half-smile. "Are you born with this ability to make up stories? You're making people so confused."

"I'm not kidding, you told me that. When the little sister stops the loss in time, she will come to thank you. I helped you save grandma's best friend. Grandma will definitely reward you well when she knows it. When you get the benefits, don't forget to share them equally."

Huo Yan was really impressed by her shamelessness. How could she lie without blushing or getting angry? Her self-righteous look really made him angry.

It seems that she is helping him to ward off romantic interests, but in fact she is creating hatred for him. After creating hatred, she is afraid that he will take it seriously, so she quickly gives him sweet treats. She also asks for benefits under the banner of helping her grandmother's friend. All the good things are taken by her!

"Xu Yinyin, considering your calculations, it would be a waste of your talent if you don't go into business." Huo Yan mocked mercilessly.

"Be unyielding, know how to utilize resources, and sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor is another kind of success. Changing the world and promoting human progress requires talents like you."

Xu Yinyin placed her palm under his eyelids, palm facing up and said, "It's one million as agreed."

Huo Yan was so angry that he laughed. He took out his cell phone to ask for her card number and immediately transferred one million to her.

"Thank you, boss. I will take care of all this kind of work for you from now on. I guarantee that I will not cheat anyone."

Huo Yan chuckled, "Thank you, there's not such a big demand."

The waiter started serving the dishes. Xu Yinyin still had some of the contract she had drafted, so she planned to finish it before eating. "You eat first. I'll finish this last one and then eat."

Huo Yan frowned slightly and glanced at her, his eyes smiling and his fingers flying, looking so professional.

I have never seen such a money-obsessed person, tsk!

Huo Yan brought her steak in front of him and cut it into small pieces elegantly.

Xu Yinyin caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye, her eyes filled with surprise.

[It must be said that Huo Yan is really quite a gentleman, even helping to cut the steak. How could his hands reveal such lazy sexiness even when cutting steak? The Creator is really too partial. ]

[Yinbao, don't you think Huo Yan treats you a little differently? I don't believe he didn't see through your little trick, but he didn't take revenge on you later. Is this a kind of favoritism? ]

Huo Yan's movements in cutting the steak were slightly slow, did he favor Xu Yinyin?

Haha, it's impossible in this life, he just doesn't like to argue with women! Especially women who can easily make people angry!

[Forget it, look at his searching look. He and I will never be involved in anything other than pure money transactions. Do you think I don't know that you want to use us as a couple? Give up this idea as soon as possible. Even if Yu'er falls in love with Fei Niao, I can't fall in love with Huo Yan, understand?]

[It’s hard to say. No one can predict what will happen when it comes to relationships. What if I can’t help myself?]

Xu Yinyin was unequivocal: [The only thing that can make me unable to control myself is RMB! ]

Huo Yan sneered in his heart, the only thing that can make me unable to control myself is investment projects!

"It doesn't taste good when it's cold." Huo Yan placed the cut steak in front of her.

"I'd rather eat it cold!" Xu Yinyin continued writing quickly after she finished speaking.

Huo Yan wanted to beat her up with his bare hands.

In the following time, Xu Yinyin was busy working on the contract, while Huo Yan was leisurely drinking red wine and reading financial news, and did not eat first.

[Umbro, he seems to be waiting for you. He hasn't touched anything on his plate.]

[No way, is Long Aotian so obedient and virtuous? ]

Huo Yan was stung by the red wine and put it aside angrily, then picked up his knife and fork and started eating.

[Tsk, Xiao Qi, you are so mean. You can't deliberately beautify Huo Gou just to force a CP. How could he be waiting for me? He is eating. But he is eating so elegantly. No wonder they say beauty is a feast to the eyes. I experienced it today.]

A hint of smile flashed across Huo Yan's eyes, but it was hard to hear good words from her.

[No, show me you're hungry, I want to eat too.]

Just as Xu Yinyin was about to poke the steak, Huo Yan stopped her. Just as she was looking puzzled, the waiter came over with a hot steak.

Huo Yan motioned him to put it in front of him, and once again patiently cut it into small pieces, then pushed it in front of her, raised his chin, and said, "Eat it hot."

Xu Yinyin: “…”

【See, isn’t this considerate? 】

The only one who answered Xiao Qi was Xu Yinyin, who inhaled mouthful after mouthful of food like crazy. The steak in a high-end restaurant was so delicious, ahhh!

Huo Yan looked at her obsessed with food and couldn't help but think of the charity dinner when her eyes followed the dishes. The corners of his lips unconsciously raised into a beautiful arc.

Xiaoqi showed an auntie smile on the light screen. Isn't this what she got? Hehehe!

Today's Huo Yan: He speaks in a hostile manner but acts arrogant and weird.
