Madam Is A Sensational Figure In The City

Chapter 177: Chapter 177: I Didn’t Expect Mr. Tang To Really Show Up

Yan Jinyi felt almost like an animal in the zoo.

Suddenly, someone shouted, “Tang Qing is here.”

Everyone consciously made way for him.

Clad in a gray suit with a large pair of sunglasses on his face, Tang Qing strode in under the protection of two bodyguards.

He took big steps and looked overbearing and domineering.

Huo Xian was a bit surprised to see Tang Qing and he asked, “Did we send Tang Qing an invitation?”

He turned his head to look at Huo Chengyu.

Huo Chengyu pursed his lips and answered, “I’m not sure.”

“Grandpa, I invited Mr. Tang to come.”

Yan Jinyi explained smilingly, “Previously, I went to Mr. Tang’s auction and Mr. Tang wanted me to send his well wishes to you. I was thinking that it’d be inappropriate for me not to give him an invitation.”

In a moment of epiphany, Huo Xian exclaimed, “Oh, I see!”

“Yes, I was being perfunctory at first, I didn’t expect Mr. Tang to really show up. Well, he’s still a guest after all, let’s receive him.”

Yan Jinyi’s voice was quite loud, and everyone around heard her.

‘Tang Qing actually let Second Young Mistress Huo relay his well wishes to Old Master Huo? Does the Tang Family intend to patch up with the Huo Family?’

‘If the Tang Family and Huo Family really made up…’

‘Wouldn’t the two corporations form an invincible combo?’

As soon as Tang Qing walked towards them, he paused in his tracks and had a sullen expression on his face.

‘When have I ever told her to send my well wishes?’

‘What does she mean by just giving me an invitation perfunctorily?’

‘I even put my dignity aside and showed up.’

‘Damn it!’

“Yes, he is a guest. Tang Qing, long time no see.” Huo Xian took the initiative to extend his hand for a handshake with Tang Qing. “How has your grandfather’s health been lately?”

Tang Qing humphed coldly and said, “He’s alive and well. He has beautiful babes to accompany him all day. He seems to be doing better than you.”

Yan Jinyi watched their interaction while blinking.

‘There is something fishy. There’s something fishy between this old man and the family of rogues, the Tang Family!’

She pulled Huo Qingyuan and waved at her. “Huo Qingyuan, come here.”

Huo Qingyuan hurriedy moved towards Yan Jinyi and asked, “Second Sister-in-law, do you have any orders for me?”

Yan Jinyi leaned closer to Huo Qingyuan mysteriously and asked, “What’s going on with your grandfather and Tang Qing’s family?”

Huo Qingyuan coughed and thought, ‘Is Second Sister-in-law unaware of this?’

‘Isn’t this an open secret?’

Seeing Huo Qingyuan’s expression, Yan Jinyi’s eyebrows twitched. ‘There really is something fishy.’

“Tang Qing’as grandfather and our grandpa used to be rivals in love when they were younger!”

‘Huh?’

Yan Jinyi’s eyes widened and she felt that she had smelled some gossip. “You have three minutes to give me detailed explanation.”

“Our grandmother was very popular with men in her younger days. Grandpa and Tang Qing’s grandfather were two of her many suitors. In the beginning, Grandma preferred Tang’s grandfather because he was carefree and not restrained by his family. He was very knowledgeable too. As a young lady of a wealthy family who has been living a sheltered and cloistered life, she’s always yearned for such a lifestyle.”

‘Oh I see.’

“Why did she end up getting married to your grandfather?”

“Second Sister-in-law, he’s our grandfather,” Huo Qingyuan corrected solemnly. “Grandpa was born to a prestigious family, so he grew up under strict discipline. Since he was subjected to strict rules, he became dull and boring. He wasn’t good at expressing his feelings too. Well, young girls like hearing sweet talk and romantic gestures. However, Grandma’s parents insisted that Grandma marry Grandpa. Otherwise, my brothers and I wouldn’t have been here!”

Yan Jinyi was feeling a little regretful. ‘It’d be good if you people never existed.’

After hearing the cheesy love story, she felt that Tang Qing’s grandfather was quite compatible with the late Old Mrs. Huo.
