Chapter 762: They Owe Her A Lot Of Money Indeed

Yan Jinyi’s hometown of Tong City was a four or five-hour drive away from the city.

She heard that the place was currently being developed into a tourist spot. After leaving the highway, she saw the changes that had been made to the place, which was now drastically different from what she remembered. There were plants and flowers on both sides of the road.

“Darling, your hometown is quite beautiful.”

Yan Jinyi couldn’t help but secretly think to herself in disdain, ‘My hometown is much more beautiful than this place. That’s where the mountains are really green and the water is pure and free from impurities.’

Everything in the modern era is great except the air quality.

“Take your time to look at it since you think it’s beautiful, Mr. Huo.”

Noticing that Yan Jinyi seemed rather disinterested, Huo Xishen couldn’t help but ask, “Darling, you don’t seem happy about coming back to your hometown at all.”

“It’s not like it’s something to be happy about.”

Unless she was going back to collect some money, she saw no point in going back to that awful place that was full of oddballs.

Huo Xishen stayed silent for a moment and recalled the details about her being mocked by her neighbors as a child, which was stated in the information report about her. A trace of menace appeared in his eyes.

All of a sudden, he reached his hand out to hold hers. Only then did Huo Xishen discover that her hand was rather clammy.

“I’m with you, what are you afraid of?”

With her brows lightly raised, Yan Jinyi sneered, “What do I have to be afraid of? At most, I’ll beat them up into a pulp.”

“It is quite in line with your style of doing things, Darling.”

After arriving at Tong City, the two of them did not immediately go to the place where Yan Jinyi used to live and instead went to the villa complex in New City.

Looking at the rather modern villa towering in front of her, she couldn’t help but look at Huo Xishen again. “How much does this villa cost?”

“It’s not that expensive. Just a few million yuan.”

“…”

“Mr. Huo, there is really no need for us to buy a house here.”

This was the hometown of the original Yan Jinyi, not her. Hence, she felt that even if he really wanted to buy it, he ought to casually just by a two-bedded apartment!

‘Why does he want a villa for? Mold growth?’

“Darling, you should have a place for lodging here.”

Huo Xishen was indeed very rich.

‘No, how come I’ve never seen him being so generous before?’

The entire villa was decorated exactly to her liking, and Yan Jinyi was curious as to how long it had been since he bought the villa.

A year or so ago, she and Huo Xishen were still enemies who were at odds against each other. They didn’t exactly spend a lot of time with each other this year either.

“Aren’t you going to go inside and take a look? This will be your house in the future, Darling.”

‘My house?’

Yan Jinyi was puzzled.

Assistant Wen, who was behind them, smiled and answered for Huo Xishen, “Second Young Mistress Huo, the title of this house belongs to you and you are the legal owner of this house.”

‘What ???’

Yan Jinyi’s eyes widened in shock and she she pointed to her nose. “You’re giving me a villa?”

Huo Xishen nodded. “Can’t I?”

“Are you… really Huo Xishen? The same Huo Xishen that I know?”

‘Could he have swapped souls with someone!?!’

“Darling, why do you seem so surprised?”

Yan Jinyi pursed her lips. Of course she was shocked.

‘When has Doggy Huo ever been so generous? He bought me a ring from a roadside stall yesterday and today, he actually bought me a villa. What a huge difference.’

“Go in and take a look.”

Yan Jinyi felt like she had finally gained some power. “Since it’s my house, of course I have to go in to take a look.”

After dinner, Huo Xishen had an impromptu video conference while Yan Jinyi went out alone for a stroll.

This city wasn’t that big, and the place she was living now was quite near her old home. According to the original owner’s memory, her grandmother sold the house after their family moved away from Tong City.

The money from the sale of the house was given to her uncle.

‘Hah…’

‘That family, indeed, owes me a lot of money.’

They subconsciously walked towards an old city area where Yan Jinyi could see the old four-story buildings at a glance. It was also the place where the original Yan Jinyi lived when she was still a student.
