Madam Is A Sensational Figure In The City-Chapter 897 - Like A Lifetime

“What should we do then? Yuxi is my only precious daughter. Do you know how she will be sentenced?”

Bai Moliang rubbed his temples and said, “If Yan Jinyi pursues to the very end, it might be a death sentence.”

‘Death sentence?’

Stunned, Leng Jing burst into tears immediately and exclaimed, “No, she’s my only daughter and I can’t let her die! Moliang, Hubby, quickly think of a solution!”

“What did I say back then?” Bai Yan’s face was as pale as a sheet and he said, “I’ve been telling you not to spoil that girl rotten but you insisted otherwise. You two are the ones who caused her to end up like this!”

“Didn’t you spoil her too?” Leng Jing was rather agitated. “Yuxi was in poor health when she was a child so all of us pampered her greatly. I was against letting her get too close to Huo Xishen back then. You were the one who kept insisting on setting them up together!”

Leng Jing felt sad for Leng Yuxi. Although Huo Xishen was the best candidate for a son-in-law, he wasn’t the best choice for a husband. In her opinion, Huo Xishen was too heartless.

Be it the Bai family or the Leng family, they could all ensure that Leng Yuxi would live a carefree life for the rest of her life. She hoped that Leng Yuxi would be happy.” However, Leng Yuxi stubbornly took a liking to Huo Xishen and now...

Bai Yan took a large mouthful of water and said, “Okay, it’s too late to say anything now. Moliang, go find out if there is any way to get Yuxi a lighter sentence.”

As he spoke, he turned to look at Leng Jing. Seeing how disheveled his wife, who had always been proper and mindful of her image, he couldn’t help but sigh and said, “Wasn’t Xishen’s mother your best friend when she was still alive? Go visit the Huos and see if you can beg for mercy or convince Second Young Mistress Huo not to pursue the matter.”

He made that suggestion despite knowing that chances were slim.

Leng Jing wiped his tears and said with a nod, “Okay, okay, okay, I’ll go now.”

......

Life had been full of ups and downs like a rollercoaster the past few days. After postponing all her jobs, Yan Jinyi lied down comfortably to take a shower and was now lying on the laybed and getting some sun.

The estate they lived in had long been surrounded by countless reporters. Thus, she and Huo Xishen both decided to stay in the Huo family’s courtyard.

“Second Young Mistress Huo, Mr. Tang and Mr. Zhuang are here to visit you,” Zhang Guoquan said, holding onto his “ancestral” tablet as he stood in front of Yan Jinyi respectfully.

After opening her eyes, she yawned lazily and asked, “Did they bring a gift?”

“Huh?” Zhang Guoquan was stunned but he soon reacted immediately. “Mr. Tang brought a painting that’s said to be a treasured piece that his auction house has newly acquired. Mr. Zhuang...” After a moment of hesitation, he continued, “Mr. Zhuang brought a basket of fruit.”

“Oh, let them in.”

Tang Qing and Zhuang Heng were half-brothers who couldn’t get along well and despised each other.

Others may not know about it but she was very clear about what their relationship was like. She found it rare for them both to appear at the same time.

The two of them were dressed in white and black respectively. One was gentlemanly and the other was demonic. Walking together, they were really pleasing to the eye.

“Mr. Huo has caused you to be mistreated so greatly. Miss Yan, why don’t you get divorced and get together with me? I’ll definitely protect you well,” Tang Qing said as he found a seat after handing the painting to a servant.

Yan Jinyi ignored him and instead, stared at the exquisitely wrapped painting. “Is this painting valuable?”

“...” After coughing, Tang Qing answered respectfully, “It’s worth about over a million.”

Hearing those words, Yan Jinyi immediately grinned and said, “Zhang Guoquan, pour Mr. Tang a cup of hot tea.”

Zhuang Heng, who had been tortured in Hollywood but forced to stay by his manager who often took advantage of him, had long wanted to fly over to look for Yan Jinyi and now, he was extremely agitated to see her.

“Little pepper, I picked these from the orchard myself and they’re very fresh! Little pepper, it feels like a lifetime since we met. I miss you so much...”

Not allowing him to continue, Yan Jinyi snapped, “Shut up.”
