Madam Is A Sensational Figure In The City

Chapter 208: You Want Me To Act As A Pretentious Girl?

“Did you say that Tao Wei has recommended a television drama for me to star in?”

Huo Zihang took out the project proposal that was all the way at the bottom of his briefcase and flipped through it. “Second Sister-in-law, I’ve already turned that down on your behalf. It’s just a supporting role, and worse still, it’s a villainous character whom everyone will detest.”

“Be more specific,” Yan Jinyi instructed coldly.

Huo Zihang immediately skimmed through the lines and read out the character introduction and background to her as quickly as he could. “It’s a drama about scheming in the harem. You’ve been offered the role of the vicious empress who’s scheming, ruthless, and has killed many other consorts and concubines. You definitely wouldn’t take on that role, it doesn’t suit you.”

Yan Jinyi stayed silent for a few minutes over the phone.

Huo Zihang thought that Yan Jinyi would curse at Tao Wei for recommending such a role to her but…

“Huo Zihang, are you asking for a beating? Why wouldn’t it suit me? Do you think I lack the potential to be an empress?”

‘No… It’s such an evil character…’

Huo Zihang felt innocent.

“Take on that role on my behalf now. Do you expect me to play the role of a pretentious and vulnerable girl instead?”

As if he had already seen Yan Jinyi holding the feather duster, Huo Zihang shivered and said, “Yes, yes, I’ll do it right now.”

“How much will I be getting paid?”

“10 million yuan… After all, it’s just a supporting character and you’ve also only starred in one film…”

Before he finished, Yan Jinyi hollered again, “How dare you turn down a 10 million yuan deal? Huo Zihang, are you tired of living?”

Fortunately, she had called to ask about it. Otherwise, she would have missed the 10 million yuan just like that.

It might even end up in someone else’s hands!

Yan Jinyi truly didn’t have a bottom line.

Indeed, she loved money.

“If you don’t handle this well, be prepared to get skinned alive tonight!”

After hanging up furiously, she turned to see that Shen Yan was staring at her in shock with her shoulders trembling too.

‘Oh dear, I was so fierce just now. Did I end up scaring Shen Yan?’

She immediately smiled sweetly and moved towards Shen Yan affectionately. “Don’t be scared, I’m usually very gentle. Huo Zihang just needs to be taught a lesson.”

At this point, Yan Jinyi sighed and said, “As his sister-in-law, how can I watch him go astray? Look, the matter with Yan Xin hasn’t been settled yet. I’m doing this all for the sake of Huo Zihang’s future, that’s why I’m so strict with him!”

Shen Yan patted the back of Yan Jinyi’s hand and said, “I know, it’s hard to take Zihang in hand, but he and Qingyuan are quite obedient towards you these days. Well done, Jinyi.”

“Ah, you flatter me, Sister-in-law. Actually, you’re the one who deserves credit for keeping this household orderly.”

Yan Jinyi took the chance to gently pinch Shen Yan’s hand, amazed by the tenderness of her skin.

While she was doing so, Huo Qingyuan came through the door in a flurry.

“Sister-in-laws, hurry and look at the news. Yan Xin is so atrocious, how can there be such a horrible woman in this world?!”

Yan Jinyi’s face turned sullen and she glared at Huo Qingyuan, causing the latter to be shocked and confused.

‘Why is Second Sister-in-law looking at me like that? I haven’t offended her recently.’

Seeing that Yan Jinyi was holding Shen Yan’s hand, she was bewildered.
