Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Go Ahead And Jump!

Tao Wei looked at the funds transfer of a hundred million yuan in disbelief.

He swallowed his saliva and turned to look at Yan Jinyi who was opposite him. He then pushed the chair away and got ready to kneel down.

“I’m not dead, you don’t need to kneel before me.”

‘Uh…’

“Since we’re both in the same production team now, I’ll call you Jinyi.” Tao Wei smiled deferentially and continued, “Jinyi, you and Second Young Mistress Huo are truly my lifesavers. Why did Second Young Mistress Huo suddenly want to invest in my film?”

“She likes the script.”

‘She likes the script?’

Tao Wei frowned and thought, ‘This doesn’t seem right. I’ve been keeping my script well under wraps. Second Young Mistress Huo shouldn’t have seen it.’

“Ahem, well… does Second Young Mistress Huo know what the film is about?”

Yan Jinyi looked up in surprise and asked, “What is it about?”

“…”

‘I suspect that Second Young Mistress is too simple-minded and has too much money in her hands.’

‘But then again, to be able to marry a powerful figure like Second Young Master Huo, she must be wealthy.’

“I’m filming a period film that pays homage to the film style of the 80s and 90s, where the female lead is a bandit who is both righteous and evil while the male lead is a reputable Taoist monk…”

‘Bandit?’

Yan Jinyi’s eyes lit up and she thought, ‘The role of a bandit is wonderful!’

‘A bandit is such a significant role!’

‘Especially a female one!’

“Since you’ve got such a good foresight and taste, feel free to voice out if you need more money, Director Tao!”

Yan Jinyi patted her chest generously.

‘Turns out Second Young Mistress Huo is so easily convinced! She’s so compliant towards Yan Jinyi too!’

‘Ah, I have to serve Yan Jinyi well.’

Suddenly recalling something, Tao Wei sighed again.

“Director Tao, is there something you’re displeased about?”

“No, nothing. It’s just the male lead…”

Yan Jinyi knew he was referring to Zhuang Heng. Hence, she humphed coldly and said with certainty, “Zhuang Heng will definitely agree to star in this film.”

Tao Wei looked at Yan Jinyi with puzzlement.

Zhuang Heng was not the type to fear the wealthy and powerful. Even if the helmsman of the Huo Family gave him any pressure, he wouldn’t take it on unless he wanted to.

“He likes being abused.”

Yan Jinyi picked up the glass of juice and took a sip, toasting to the fact that Zhuang Heng was an oddball.

By the time she returned to the Huo Family manor, the sky had already turned dark and the street lamps around the manor were still on, glowing together with the stars in the sky.

Yan Jinyi walked slowly with her hands on her back and suddenly heard a burst of calls coming from the side of the mansion.

“Miss Huo, take it easy, what if you get hurt?”

“Uncle Zhang is right. Miss Huo, let’s talk things over.”

‘Eh?’

Yan Jinyi quickly walked over and saw Zhang Guoquan standing downstairs with a bunch of servants and bodyguards, all staring at the second floor nervously.

She looked up to see that Huo Qingyuan was sitting on the railing of the balcony of the second floor.

“What’s this all about?”

Seeing that Yan Jinyi had returned, Zhang Guoquan subconsciously sighed in relief. “Second Young Mistress, Miss Huo wants to jump down from the second floor because no one is opening the door for her.”

“Okay.”

Yan Jinyi nodded unusually calmly and looked at Huo Qingyuan.

“What are you dilly-dallying for? Go ahead and jump.”

Everyone else present was speechless and bewildered.

‘Second Young Mistress, do you know what you are talking about!?’

At the sight of Yan Jinyi, Huo Qingyuan got even more agitated. “Yan Jinyi, you don’t have to be smug about this. Once Second Brother comes home, he will definitely divorce you. Before that, you’d better open the door for me if you still want to live a good life. Otherwise, I will jump down from here.”

She was sure that Yan Jinyi did not dare to really let her jump.

If she got injured, Yan Jinyi would have to bear the consequences.

Not uttering a single word, Yan Jinyi turned around and sat on the bench at the side to rest. “Pour me a glass of milk.”

‘What does Yan Jinyi mean by this?’

Huo Qingyuan glared at her and the two remained in a stalemate.

After finishing the glass of milk, Yan Jinyi looked at the time and said, “It’s time to sleep. Tell me when Huo Qingyuan has jumped.”
