After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ya was already pissed off by Li Yining.

Jian Yuanyuan laughed happily beside her: "Why didn't I realize Zhang Ya was so cute before?"

Li Yining took a sip of juice and winked playfully: "Maybe you are mad at me?"

In fact, Zhang Ya was not a bad person, she was just a proud and willful young lady. Li Yining remembered that there were not many descriptions of her in the original book, only two times. One of them was when the two met by chance after the original owner's family went bankrupt. The sisters behind Zhang Ya were laughing at her, and Zhang Ya scolded them loudly.

Jian Yuanyuan glanced at her and said, "That's not the case. What did your husband call you about?"

Hearing this, Li Yining's sullen mouth drooped, and he said listlessly: "Go home for dinner."

"Auntie Huo and the others?"

"Um."

After quickly finishing her shopping, Jian Yuanyuan sent Li Yining home.

There were indeed a lot of gift boxes at home, all of which were new bags from a certain luxury brand.

Li Yining spoke a few words to the servant, and all the bags were carried into the cloakroom. Looking at the room full of "money", Li Yining thought of an important point.

She enjoyed the original owner's luxurious life, but also had to bear the original owner's responsibilities and obligations.

She calculated the time and found that she still had about half a year before bankruptcy.

The novel doesn't mention the specific reason for the bankruptcy. It only says that something happened in Li Yining's family, and that she had offended a lot of people before, so a group of people collectively messed with their family. There were also some reports and so on. Anyway, it's not written in detail.

She wondered how she could avoid this bankruptcy.

It is unlikely to ask Huo Shen for help. The two of them are just a plastic couple. It is impossible for him to provide billions of working capital to fill the hole in the Li family, right?

Li Yining sat cross-legged on the carpet, thinking whether he had missed some important clues in his novel. For example, if the Li family was reported, how did others know that there was a problem with the Li family's company?

On second thought, she felt that the Li family company would not have any problems. From the novel, how could a company with so much assets have such a big loophole? Even if there was, it would not be known to outsiders.

Li Yining was very depressed.

What should she do? She had no business sense or anything else, but she felt bad when she thought about their life after the Li family went bankrupt.

Perhaps because she used the shell of the original owner, she felt that those people were her family.

In the original world, Li Yining's parents died when she was in junior high school, so when she read the novel, she was extremely envious of the original owner's pampering in the family. Her parents were tolerant and rarely scolded her even when she did something excessive.

After thinking for a long time, Li Yining felt that the only way he could help was to make more money, just in case he went bankrupt and had enough money to buy a house for the original owner's family to live in and provide for their lives?

Li Yining didn’t know whether her idea was right or not, but it was indeed the only thing she could do at the moment.

For the rest, just take it one step at a time.

As I was thinking, the door was pushed open.

Huo Shen walked in from outside and saw his little wife with a frown on her face.

He paused, walked to the other side, and began to untie his tie in front of the mirror.

Li Yining looked up and what caught his eye was the man untying his tie with one hand. His posture was casual and his hands' movements were even more agile.

After a while, he untied his strict tie and let it hang loosely around his neck. The next second, Huo Shen began to unbutton his clothes...

"Wait!" Li Yining spoke quickly.

What happened last night suddenly popped up in her mind. Facing Huo Shen's indifferent and puzzled eyes, Li Yining swallowed her saliva and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Huo Shen paused for a moment, then smiled when he saw her suddenly shy look.

"What do you think?"

He turned around and walked towards Li Yining.

Li Yining subconsciously wanted to step back, but behind her were piled things she bought in the mall today, as well as bags sent by the brand. After taking two steps back, she stopped, breathing hard, and looked at the man in front of her with evasive eyes.

Huo Shen observed the changes in her expression, leaned over to look at her for a few times, and sneered: "Change your clothes."

Li Yining: “…………”

Only after she ran out of the cloakroom did she breathe freely.

Li Yining thought about Huo Shen's actions and felt inexplicably guilty.

To be honest... she is not interested in Huo Shen, it's just... just that this is such a stunning man, not only is he good-looking, but he also has a great body, not to mention the perfect body that was originally described in words in the novel. As someone who is obsessed with looks and is a bit superficial... it would be inappropriate not to express her feelings, right?

Thinking of this, Li Yining secretly and stealthily glanced towards the cloakroom.

Of course - nothing.

——

Inside the car, two people sat quietly on either side of the back seat, with the middle partition as far apart as possible.

The driver driving in front glanced secretly, then quickly looked away.

Li Yining was preoccupied with something else and didn't notice that Huo Shen glanced at her twice.

He just wanted to make money, but after thinking about it, Li Yining felt that the only way to make big money, or even quick money, seemed to be in the entertainment industry.

After thinking about it, she secretly glanced at Huo Shen.

If you don't hug such a big tree, you'd be a fool, right? And she promised... just hugging a leg hair would be enough, she definitely wouldn't take advantage of the popularity or anything like that.

"That..." Li Yining said.

Huo Shen looked at her indifferently.

Li Yining scratched his head and asked in one breath: "I have terminated my contract with the company now."

Huo Shen raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

Li Yining was looked at with oppressive eyes, and after thinking about it, he gave up.

Forget it, she should just go find someone else.

Just as he was silent, a phone call eased Li Yining's embarrassment.

Looking at the caller ID, Huo Shen pursed his lips and answered the call.

"Hello."

His voice was cold, no matter who he was talking to.

"Ah Shen, are you here?"

Huo Shen lowered his eyes and said, "It's almost there."

——

Not long after, Li Yining and Huo Shen got out of the car.

Looking at the big house in front of him, Li Yining suppressed his surprise of being a country bumpkin coming to the city and thought, calm down... don't be too surprised.

Later, no matter what he saw, Li Yining remained extremely calm.

As soon as the two of them entered, a group of people came out to greet them.

"A Shen is back."

In an instant, just like the ancient generals returning from a victorious battle, the news spread one voice higher than the other.

Li Yining was amused by her own thoughts, but just as she smiled, Huo Shen looked at her coldly.

She paused and silently closed her grinning mouth.

Mother Huo looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "You're finally back." As she spoke, she caught Li Yining's smile and spoke in a gentler manner than to Huo Shen, "How have you been lately, Ningning? How long has it been since you came back to see me?"

Li Yining smiled and hugged Mrs. Huo and said coquettishly, "Mom, I was too busy recently. I promise to come back to see you more often in the future."

Mother Huo was so delighted by her coaxing that she tapped her nose and said helplessly, "You."

Li Yining looked at the happy mother Huo and felt a little sad.

In the original book, Huo's mother treated her daughter-in-law Li Yining extremely well, even better than her own son.

There is a gap between Huo's parents and their son. It is not clear what the gap is, but Huo Shen is not close to his parents. Occasionally, Huo's mother calls him, and her attitude is cautious and gentle, just like the call just now, full of temptation.

Perhaps it is because of this that Huo's mother and Li Yining have a closer relationship.

After entering the house, Li Yining was dragged by Huo's mother to meet the relatives. It must be said... because Huo Shen only came home once a year, the whole family came just for a meal, including several children of Huo Shen's cousin.

At this moment, these children were making a fuss around Li Yining.

"Sister, you are so beautiful."

Li Yining is a hypocritical person and likes to hear such superficial words.

She smiled with a crooked look in her eyes: "Really? What's so beautiful about me?"

The little girl was also sweet-mouthed and said happily, "You are beautiful everywhere. You are prettier than the people on TV."

Li Yining was amused.

She hugged the little girl in front of her and touched her face: "What's your name?"

"Sister, my name is Jiujiu."

A woman walked over from the side and scolded Jiujiu with a smile: "Jiujiu, this is auntie, your uncle Shen's wife." She looked at Li Yining helplessly: "Sorry, Jiujiu can't remember."

"It's OK."

Li Yining smiled happily: "Sister is not bad either."

"That won't work." Jiujiu suddenly looked at Li Yining and said.

"Why not?"

Jiujiu frowned and thought for a moment, then pointed to the balcony upstairs and said, "If you are the elder sister, you cannot marry Uncle Shen."

“…………”

Li Yining was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction that Jiujiu pointed, and coincidentally met the eyes of the man on the second-floor balcony.

Her eyes flickered, but before she could react, Huo's mother came out, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Jiujiu, that's great."

Jiujiu's mother couldn't help laughing and said helplessly: "We spoiled this child."

"It's OK."

Li Yining hugged Jiujiu and said, "I quite like her."

Jiujiu turned around, hugged her and kissed her: "I like you, too, Auntie."

Mother Huo looked at the two of them, her eyes full of expectation: "When will you and Ah Shen have a baby?"

Jiujiu's mother also echoed: "If you two had a child, it would definitely be handsome."

The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for people on the second floor to hear it.

Li Yining didn't know what expression to use to deal with this question. She was silent for a few seconds, and said to the expectant eyes of several people: "Mom, you have to tell Huo Shen about this."

Mother Huo was stunned.

Mother Jiujiu chuckled and said quickly, "That's right. Having a baby still requires Ah Shen's efforts."

Li Yining: “…”

——

By the time it was time for dinner, Li Yining finally felt relieved.

The whole family was eating happily when suddenly someone walked in from outside. It was a man with long hair.

Li Yining raised his eyes and looked over, and was stunned by what he saw.

The man's hair was tied directly at the back, looking very casual. His face was more beautiful than the woman's, delicate and pretty.

A pair of narrow peach blossom eyes looked at their table and selected them, with a rather uninhibited feeling.

"Hey, are you eating?"

He looked towards Li Yining and the others and whistled: "Brother and Aning are back."

Li Yining: “???”

Aning?? !!

Who are you? Why are you calling me so intimately?

This was not enough. The man walked straight to the main table, put his hand on the back of Li Yining's chair, leaned over and looked at her with a smile: "Aning, you haven't seen me for a while, don't you recognize me?"

As he spoke, he reached out and ruffled Li Yining's hair, teasing, "You used to be the happiest to see your brother come back."

“…………”

"???"

Li Yining now really wants to be the author and ask her what she did for the original owner! Why would such a handsome man "seduce" her in front of the whole family?

This rich family affair is so exciting?!

The author has something to say: Ningning: I tremble with fear, and always feel like I am a beautiful girl who is being missed by others:)

Huo Shen: Narcissism.

After a long time.

Huo Shen: Why are so many people chasing you? Look at the green grassland above my head, it is greener than that in Hulunbuir!!

Ning Ning: ...? (Weak, helpless, and ignorant.
