Yan Jinyi’s performance the last time she came here was still fresh in the memory of those who were present at that time and it would remain unforgettable for the rest of their lives.
Everyone was taken aback when they saw the familiar mask at first glance.
Soon, some people recognized Shen Yan who was beside Yan Jinyi, and came forward to greet her.
“You must be Young Mistress Huo. You’re getting prettier and prettier.”
“Young Mistress Huo, please relay my regards to Young Master Chengyu.”
“You must be Second Young Mistress Huo, I’ve seen this mask before. Even till now, I can’t forget your valiance.”
“…”
More and more people came to greet Yan Jinyi in a bid to strike a conversation with her after recognizing who she was.
Naturally, many of them hadn’t witnessed Yan Jinyi’s exciting performance the last time she was there.
The Huo family was an ultra-rich family that was also rather mysterious. Besides, the impression that most people had of Huo Xishen was that he was cold, aloof, and enigmatic. Many also felt that he wasn’t actually in a loving relationship with Yan Jinyi at all even though they were married.
Being in the same circle, they were very clear of such matters.
“Shen Yan is from a wealthy family herself so there’s nothing wrong with buttering her up but I really don’t understand why some people bother sucking up to Second Young Mistress Huo.”
“Exactly. Miss Bai is so compatible with Mr. Huo Xishen. This woman just shamelessly came in between them.”
“Don’t worry, sooner or later, Mr. Huo will abandon her.”
The people who spoke were a few socialites who obviously had a good relationship with Huo Xishen’s childhood sweetheart.
Yan Jinyi looked up and memorized their faces without responding to them.
In the club’s VIP lounge, Bai Moliang was holding onto some beef jerky with a Tibetan mastiff in front of him. It was wagging its tail and staring at the jerky with its tongue out.
Suddenly, the door of the lounge was pushed open. The person who entered first bowed to Bai Moliang before saying respectfully, “Mr. Bai, Young Mistress Huo, and Second Young Mistress Huo are both here. Do you…”
He casually flung the jerky away and the Tibetan mastiff darted over to catch it in time. It then chowed down on the jerky delightfully.
“If I remember correctly, the program for today is an archery competition, isn’t it?”
“Yes, Mr. Bai.”
Bai Moliang said with a sinister smile, “Go inform them that the rules today shall be based on a betting system too. Betters can choose the candidates they would like to bet on and the prize money must not be less than one million.”
“Yes, Mr. Bai, I’ll get to it immediately.”
Yan Jinyi and Shen Yan had just found a seat when they happened to hear the news, which immediately aroused their interest.
Simply put. the owner of the club will not spend a penny this time and the guests present shall decide who to bet on as the winner.
The prize money will be provided by the guests themselves and the sum must not be less than one million…
‘The owner of this club is quite good at running a business, I have to learn from him,’ Yan Jinyi thought.
She scanned her surroundings and was about to ask Shen Yan which one of the guests present was dressed the most ostentatiously when a staff member suddenly walked over.
“Second Young Mistress Huo, my master would like for you to have a bet with him.”
Yan Jinyi asked with confusion, “Who’s your master?”
“Mr. Bai Moliang, the permanent vice president of The Federation.”
‘The Federation?’
Yan Jinyi raised her brows. She had heard of that place before and knew that it was really impressive because it was under the direct management of the state.
However…
“Have I seen you somewhere before?”
The person who spoke to her secretly wiped his cold sweat off his face. ‘You’ve even insulted Mr. Bai in front of me before.’
Yan Jinyi blinked and abruptly snapped her fingers. “I remember you, you’re the follower of that psychopath, right?”
“Ahem, please mind your words, Second Young Mistress Huo. If you dare to accept the challenge, half of the sales of our clubhouse for the whole of today will be given to you in the case that you win.”
