Chapter 183-184

Chapter 183: Retired After Success ... Actually, there was nothing to sow discord. Yan Jinyu could tell at a glance that Yuan Yuan and Huo Sisi didn’t have a deep relationship. As for why Huo Sisi invited Yuan Yuan over even though they clearly didn’t have a deep relationship, perhaps it was… to cover her tracks? “What are you talking about? I don’t mind at all. I’m just a little surprised. Yuanyuan, your brother’s personality is really different from yours.” Seeing that she was smiling as usual, Yuan Yuan hid the emotions in her eyes and smiled as usual. “Yes, it’s probably because Xi’er followed Grandfather to Country Y when he was young and grew up by Grandfather’s side.” 　 　 “Sisi, you should have heard about it too. My grandfather was in poor health in his early years and had been recuperating in Country Y. Xi’er and I are the only two grandchildren in our family. Xi’er was closer to Grandfather since he was young, so he went to Country Y with Grandfather. Grandfather’s health improved recently, so he returned from Country Y with Grandfather.” “Before he officially returned to the country, Xi’er would come back occasionally. Just last year, when Miss Huo returned to the Huo Family, Xi’er happened to come back and even went to the Huo Family to attend a banquet.” “I know that. I did see Young Master Yuan at the banquet last year.” As she spoke, Huo Sisi glanced at Yuan Xi again before saying to Yuan Yuan, “Young Master Yuan has been back in the country for a while. Why haven’t I met him in South City?” “Well, Xi’er went to school in North City after returning to the country. The principal of North City’s Boyu High School is a good friend of my father’s in university. I heard that Boyu’s teaching quality is very good, so my father sent Xi’er over.” North City? Huo Sisi glanced at Yan Jinyu and quickly retracted her gaze. It seemed like she didn’t intend to tell them that Yan Jinyu was from North City. However, when Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu heard Yuan Yuan’s words, their gazes met for a moment. So this was why Yuan Xi lived in Country Y and then returned to the country. He also went to Boyu High School for this reason. If the grandfather Yuan Yuan mentioned really existed, it would be very difficult to fake Yuan Xi’s identity as the eldest son of the Yuan Family. Surely, Old Master Yuan knew his grandson well. They originally wanted to find a time to seriously investigate the reason why Yuan Xi went overseas and returned home. They didn’t expect to find out before they even started investigating. It saved them a lot of effort, but they still had to investigate. Who knew if Yuan Yuan’s words were true or false? 　 　 Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu naturally noticed that Huo Sisi deliberately didn’t mention that Yan Jinyu was from North City too. Huo Sisi didn’t remind them. She probably didn’t want these people to know Yan Jinyu’s identity. But why not? Was it because she was afraid that they wouldn’t dare to complete the mission Huo Sisi had given them after they found out? After all, Yan Jinyu was someone who had been labeled as “Master Nine’s”. “I see.” She continued to introduce them to Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu. “This is the eldest son of the Xiang Family, Xiang Qing. This is his cousin, Xiang Jie. This is the Second Young Master of the Cao Family, Cao Ming.” “They’re all my high school schoolmates. Xiang Qing and Cao Ming are older than me by a year. Xiang Jie and Yuan Yuan are in the same year as me.” Yan Jinyu didn’t say anything. She maintained her faint smile and continued to pretend to be a “pretty vase”. Huo Siyu nodded at them. “Hello.” Her attitude was neither warm nor distant. “Hello, Second Miss Huo,” Xiang Jie said. She emphasized the words “Second Miss Huo” as if she was reminding Huo Siyu that Huo Sisi was the eldest daughter of the Huo Family. Huo Siyu smiled without saying a word. Xiang Jie could not read her mind. 　 　 “Hello, Miss Yan. I’m Xiang Qing. I heard from Sisi that you’re from the South and rarely ski. My skiing skills are not bad. If you don’t mind, I can take care of you later. Oh right, I heard Second Miss Huo call you Beauty Yu just now. This name suits you very well. Can I call you that too?” He sounded like a rich young master, but his tone was actually very intrusive. “No.” “No!” They spoke in unison. The former was Yan Jinyu, while the latter was Huo Siyu. Huo Siyu was much more excited than Yan Jinyu. “Our Beauty Yu doesn’t need you to take care of her!” As she spoke, Huo Siyu turned her gaze to Huo Sisi, and the smile on her face completely faded. “Huo Sisi, do you think that we’ve reconciled with you just because we came out with you? Dream on. Others might not know what you’re thinking, but how can we not know?” “You’d better take care of your friends. Don’t provoke someone you shouldn’t. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear the consequences.” “Tsk, he still wants to call her Beauty Yu. Is Beauty Yu an address he could use?” “Huo Sisi, if you want to die, don’t implicate the Huo Family!” 　 　 Huo Sisi’s expression turned ugly suddenly. Xiang Qing, who was ignored and insulted directly, looked even worse. “Rainy, why are you saying that? Xiang Qing is also kind and doesn’t have any ill intentions. Why does it sound like Xiang Qing has ill intentions towards Miss Yan?” Xiang Qing, that fool! She had indeed called him over because Xiang Qing was someone who would definitely have evil thoughts when he saw a beauty. However, she did not want Xiang Qing to show his evil thoughts so early! Fortunately, she had made two preparations. Otherwise, she would have wasted her efforts today! “It doesn’t matter if he has ill intentions or not. What’s important is that he dares to speak to our Beauty Yu in such a disrespectful tone. He’s courting death! What does he take our Beauty Yu for, huh?” “And you, Huo Sisi. You deliberately didn’t introduce our Beauty Yu’s identity. You know very well what you’re planning! Your poor friends. They don’t even know that you’re using them.” Xiang Qing, who was furious, heard Huo Siyu’s words and looked at Huo Sisi, “Sisi, what does she mean? What’s her status?” Huo Si thought that it was fortunate that she had always considered all the possibilities when she did things and had thought of how to deal with any changes. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t be able to smooth things over when Xiang Qing did this rashly. “Didn’t I tell you before that Rainy’s friend is from the South? Since Miss Yan can be friends with Rainy, the Second Missy of the Huo Family, her family naturally won’t be bad.” “She’s from the South and her surname is Yan. Isn’t her identity obvious? There’s only one Yan Family in North City in the south.” “Besides, you should have heard of Master Nine from the Yin Family in the capital. Since you’ve heard of Master Nine, you should have naturally heard that he has a fiancée from the Yan Family in North City. Just like me, I didn’t ask much and knew that Master Nine’s fiancée was called Yan Jinyu. I thought that you all knew too. Who knew…” Hearing that, their pupils constricted, especially Xiang Qing, who had designs on Yan Jinyu just now. “I-I’m sorry, Eldest Miss Yan. I didn’t recognize you earlier. I was rude.” Although he was someone who would have indecent thoughts when he saw a beauty, he still had some tact as he was brought up in a big family and knew who he could and couldn’t offend. The Xiang Family was also in the business world. As a member of the Xiang Family, he knew very well that the person the Xiang Family couldn’t offend the most was the business world’s God of Slaughter, Master Nine. Huo Sisi’s words seemed to make sense, but if one thought about it carefully, there were still many suspicions. For example, since Huo Sisi had thought of so many things, why didn’t she mention Yan Jinyu’s identity when she called to ask them out? Wasn’t she worried that they might not recognize Yan Jinyu and offend her and cause trouble for their family? However, at this moment, other than Yuan Yuan, no one else thought too much about this because they were all shocked by Yan Jinyu’s identity and had no time to think about anything else. This was also within Huo Sisi’s consideration. She didn’t care what they would think after the incident. Once was enough for some people to be used. Anyway, she had more than just these few people. It didn’t matter if they fell out. Only Yuan Yuan was naturally shocked, but her attention quickly turned to Huo Sisi’s words. Huo Sisi’s intentions… She just had to keep an eye on her brother later. She would not get involved in their conflict. “Huo Sisi, you’re very capable. You can even make the dead alive. Your friends are really unlucky to know someone like you.” Looking at the trembling Xiang Qing, Huo Siyu snorted and said, “On the account that you’re quite sensible, I’ll forget about it this time. However, did you really grow up in a big family? You didn’t even know that you were used by others. I really don’t dare to describe you.” “Beauty Yu, let’s go. Don’t bother about them. That’s not the only reason I invited you to South City.” She was referring to more than just the torture. She wanted to invite Yan Jinyu over to have fun. Yan Jinyu hadn’t spoken since Huo Siyu spoke. Not only did she wait quietly because someone was standing up for her, but she was also too lazy to move her hands and mouth. Her attention was also attracted by something else, or rather, someone else. From the beginning to the end, that person called Cao Ming did not say a word. Although Cao Ming’s pupils constricted when he found out her identity and he was obviously frightened, with her instincts and perception as the number one killer, she still found something different. For example, Cao Ming’s infatuation with Huo Sisi seemed to have reached a sick level. Cao Ming hid it very well, but he still couldn’t hide it from her eyes. 　 *** Chapter 184: The Two Sauve People 　 Usually, for people who were infatuated with someone until they were insane, he would do whatever the other party told him to do no matter how dangerous it was. Yan Jinyu sized her up quietly. No one noticed, including Huo Siyu. “Mm-hm.” Compared to Huo Siyu, Yan Jinyu wasn’t someone who would be warm to others. She simply followed Huo Siyu past these people and walked into the ski park. She had no intention of paying them any attention. As for Cao Ming… Oh, she didn’t take him seriously at all. Seeing the two of them walk into the entrance of the ski park, Xiang Qing and Xiang Jie looked at Huo Sisi suspiciously. “Sisi, Huo Si… What does Second Miss Huo mean? What do you mean by using us? Don’t tell me you didn’t tell us Miss Yan’s identity on purpose? You know that my brother has always liked beautiful women and will target beautiful girls when he sees them, but you didn’t tell us her identity…” 　 　 Before she could finish speaking, Huo Sisi interrupted, “Little Jie, do you believe her and not me? You know very well that she has always had a bad relationship with me. You saw our way of getting along just now.” “You…” Huo Sisi pursed her lips in grief. Her eyes were red, but she held back her tears.” Forget it. I wasn’t considerate enough this time. It’s only right that you suspect me. ” Seeing her like this, Xiang Jie panicked. “Sisi, that’s not what I meant. I did believe you. I also… Anyway, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have suspected you.” Xiang Jie even pulled Xiang Qing along. Xiang Qing didn’t say anything, but from his expression, he clearly didn’t blame Huo Sisi. “…” Yuan Yuan, who had witnessed this change. She quickly called Yuan Xi and walked into the ski park. She looked like she wanted to get away from Huo Sisi as soon as possible. Why didn’t she realize that Huo Sisi was so… fake? Whoever got close to such a person would be unlucky! It was better for her to stay away from him. “Sisi, let’s go in too. Don’t take others’ words to heart. It’s fine as long as I know you’re very kind,” Cao Ming said. He looked gentle and understanding. However, he did not notice the flash of disgust in Huo Sisi’s eyes. 　 　 She lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in them. “Yes, let’s go.” *** Seeing that Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu were both holding skiboards, everyone, including Yuan Xi, was very surprised. Other than Xiang Qing, who claimed to be very good at skiing, Yuan Xi was the only one holding a skiboard. One had to know that a skiboard was completely different from double skis. Compared to a pair of traditional double skis, a single skiboard was more inclined to the extreme sport, so it was naturally more exciting and harder. The two of them, who did not seem to know how to ski, were actually using skiboards! Hiding the displeasure in her eyes, Huo Sisi hugged her two skis tightly. She said, “Rainy, isn’t it a little difficult for you to take the skiboard? Of course, I’m not saying that your skills are bad. I brought you out. I have to guarantee that I can bring you back safely. If anything happens to you, I won’t be able to answer to Mom and Dad.” Huo Siyu looked at her and smiled. “From what you’re saying, it seems like you’re very sure that something will happen to us.” Without waiting for Huo Sisi to reply, Huo Siyu said, “You don’t have to worry about it. The reason why we’re taking the skiboards is because we can control it.” She simply raised her eyebrows at Yan Jinyu, “Beauty Yu, want to compete?” Yan Jinyu was also interested, “Alright.” She was lazy, and sometimes, she couldn’t even be bothered to use her brain. However, that depended on the situation. 　 　 She was actually not lazy when she met something that she was interested in. One of them was wearing a pink down jacket, while the other was wearing a light blue down jacket. One of them let her hair down, and the other had a bun on her head. The two of them had outstanding looks and they were standing at the starting point of the most dangerous ski route in the ski resort. Yes, the most dangerous ski route. These two people were undoubtedly conspicuous. Many people even stopped to watch them. “Sisi, they’re… Aren’t you going to stop them? This is too dangerous.” After hesitating for a while, Yuan Yuan, who was still in shock, decided to speak up. It was really because one of them was the fiancée that Master Nine valued, and the other was the young mistress that the Huo Family had just found. If anything happened to them, who knew how many people would be alarmed? “You saw it too. I tried to persuade them just now, but Rainy… I can’t persuade Rainy at all. Now, I can only pray that nothing happens to Rainy and Miss Yan.” However, she was thinking in her heart that she couldn’t wait for an accident to happen to the two of them so that she wouldn’t have to waste her effort to deal with them! “Besides, even if I wanted to persuade her, it seems too late now.” As soon as she finished speaking, the two people standing at the starting point of the slide put the skiboard on the snow and jumped on it! That’s right, they jumped! With a suave jump, the skiboard slid out! Other than those people who were very good at skiing, people who usually came here to play rarely dared to try such a dangerous route. The two of them actually dared to make a few consecutive jumping, soaring, and spinning movements on the route! In their shock, someone shouted, “F*ck! Awesome!” “So suave! Where did those beautiful ladies come from? I want to get their contact numbers. Please teach me!” It was a girl’s voice. “F*ck! They’re experts!” This was the voice of a professional. 　 　 “S-Sisi, t-they…” Xiang Jie was so shocked that she could not complete her sentence. “A-are they that good?” Yuan Yuan’s eyes widened. Then, she asked Yuan Xi, who was also shocked, “Xi’er, you like such sports. Who’s better? You or them?” “I’m not sure. I’ll only know after we compete.” “I’ll compete with them when they come back.” Although his emotions were not obvious, Yuan Yuan could still see the excitement in his eyes. She was a little happy. After all, it was rare to see him show such an expression. However, this was too dangerous. “There’s no need… to compete.” After saying that, she was afraid that it would dampen his rare enthusiasm. She deliberated and said, “Both Miss Huo and Miss Yan don’t seem to be enthusiastic people. They might not agree if you ask them to compete.” “It’s fine. I can try. I know them a little, so it should be easier for me to talk to them.” Yuan Yuan asked, “…? You know them?” “We met once.” “I came back from North City yesterday on the same flight as Miss Yan. She sat beside me. Miss Huo went to pick her up. We met at the airport.” “Then… why didn’t you greet them just now?” Yuan Xi glanced at her but didn’t respond. His gaze continued to focus on the ski route. “Brother, you’re so good at skiing. Do you have a chance of winning if you compete with them?” the shocked Xiang Jie asked Xiang Qing. Xiang Qing did not respond. He tightened her grip on the skiboard. No! He was on a completely different level from them! The two of them were no longer skiing, but flying! They were playing with their lives! Even Cao Ming, who was very infatuated with Huo Sisi, couldn’t help but say, “Sisi, they’re very formidable!” Huo Sisi was already gritting her teeth in hatred. Even she, who was usually very careful and never revealed her true emotions in front of others, could not hold it in at this moment. Huo Siyu and Yan Jinyu! They attracted everyone’s attention the moment they appeared. They must not be left alive! Fortunately, Brother wasn’t here. Otherwise, when he saw Yan Jinyu like this, how could he still like her, Huo Sisi! She clenched her fists. “Yes! Very impressive!” Suddenly, her eyes flickered. She seemed to have thought of something and reached out to pull Cao Ming’s sleeve, “Rainy is so outstanding. In the Huo Family, I’m afraid everyone else can only see her. Cao Ming, I’m only an adopted daughter. If Rainy is too outstanding and the Huo Family doesn’t want me anymore, what should I do?” Looking at her hand that was pulling his sleeve, Cao Ming’s eyes lit up. Then, he hurriedly held her hand, “No, don’t worry. I won’t.” Huo Sisi held back her disgust and didn’t retract her hand. “I’ll help you guard the position of the eldest daughter of the Huo Family. Don’t worry.” Huo Sisi pretended to be shocked as she looked at him, “Cao Ming, w-what do you want to do?” “You don’t have to interfere.” “Cao Ming, y-you better not mess around.” “Don’t worry, I know my limits.” He held her hand tightly and even touched the back of it. “No matter what I do, it’s to protect you. I won’t implicate you.” “You just have to focus on being the eldest daughter of the Huo Family.” “D-don’t mess around. If anything… happens to you, I-I’ll be worried.” “With your words, anything I do is worth it.” He raised her hand and kissed it. Huo Sisi struggled away in disgust, but she still had to pretend to be indifferent. “Someone’s here.” “No one saw it. Besides, I can tell that you have feelings for me too. So what if you’re seen? Wouldn’t it be fine if we get together legitimately?” Everyone’s attention was on the two beautiful figures on the slide. Indeed, no one noticed this. Huo Sisi bit her lip and didn’t say anything. Her face was flushed red. Cao Ming thought that she was shy, but she was actually angry and disgusted. “I’m leaving. Wait for me here.” As he spoke, Cao Ming grabbed the skis and walked towards the ski route where Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu were!
