Chapter 71 - 71: I'm Not Interested In Someone Who's About To Kick The Bucket

'Did Xinyue really kidnap Huo Qingyuan?'
Zhao Hongwei couldn't help but look at Huo Qingyuan a couple of times.
It was still summer, but she was wearing a long-sleeved dress and her face was a little pale.
At this moment, she was looking at Zhao Xinyue, her gaze full of a murderous intent.
'How dare that fool Xinyue kidnap Miss Huo? No wonder she said that.'
Zhao Hongwei tried to maintain his composure and said assertively, "Technology is advanced these days. How can you confirm the authenticity of this voice recording? The Zhao Family may not be on par with the Huo Family, but we are no pushovers."
"I'm bullying you indeed. Like I said, your daughter is a dimwit. She even dared to use her own account to transfer money to the kidnappers."
At that, Zhao Hongwei's face suddenly became austere and he glared at Zhao Xinyue with great disappointment.
After all, Zhao Xinyue was still just a nineteen-year-old college student. Not only was she severely beaten, the other party had an important piece of evidence against her. She had long been badly frightened.
"If Huo Qingyuan hadn't gone too far and seduced the person I fancy, would I have done that?"
Yan Jinyi sneered and pointed at her. "There you go, she has admitted to it herself."
She then raised her broom and was about to hit her again, but Zhao Hongwei immediately rebuked, "Xinyue, apologize to Second Young Mistress!"
Zhao Xinyue was full of reluctance and indignation, but when she met Yan Jinyi's gaze, she wimped out again.
'This woman is too intimidating!'
"Yes..."
"I wasn't the one who got kidnapped. If you want to apologize, kowtow to her."
Yan Jinyi pointed to Huo Qingyuan.
'Kneel and kowtow?'
Zhao Hongwei frowned and refuted, "Second Young Mistress, there is no need to make the relationship between the two families so strained. The Zhao Family is at least a famous and prestigious family. I hope you can take that into account and save us some humiliation."
Yan Jinyi rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "Your family's pride is none of my business. Since Zhao Xinyue had the guts to kidnap Huo Qingyuan, why doesn't she have the guts to kowtow? Your family wants your pride and dignity, but so does mine. I'm doing a huge favor by choosing not to get some reporters to come here and broadcast this scene live!"
As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed at Zhao Hongwei. "Otherwise, I'll beat you up too."
'This woman is so arrogant. Why would a vicious and brutal man like Huo Xishen marry such an uncouth woman?'
"Are you interested in me? I'm not interested in an old man like you who's about to kick the bucket," Yan Jinyi said.
"…"
Zhao Hongwei became visibly more upset, as evidenced by the changes in his expression.
Huo Zihang curled the corners of his lips as he silently exchanged glances with Huo Qingyuan.
'Yan Jinyi is so bold with her words.'
"Hurry up, I don't have that much time to waste here. You either take the initiative to kneel down and admit your mistakes, or I'll beat you up until you do so!"
Yan Jinyi waved her broom again.
"Father..."
Zhao Xinyue exclaimed pitifully, looking at Zhao Hongwei.
Even if she wanted to go against the Huo Family, she ought to do so openly. She was too timid to do that.
Zhao Hongwei clenched his fist and felt his face burning with pain. "If you dare to kidnap Miss Huo, it's only right that you kneel down and apologize to her."
"Father!"
'I'm a socialite of the upper class society after all. Why should I kneel down before Huo Qingyuan?'
'If this gets out, it'll be over for me.'
'The Second Young Mistress of the Huo Family obviously brought Huo Zihang and Huo Qingyuan here to create trouble.'
No matter how overboard Yan Jinyi might be, it was a matter of fact that Zhao Xinyue was the one who kidnapped Huo Qingyuan, so they had the rights to make such a request.
"Xinyue, you..."
Before Zhao Hongwei spoke, Yan Jinyi had already smacked Zhao Xinyue in the calf with the broom, causing her to kneel onto the ground in pain after wincing.
