Madam Is A Sensational Figure In The City

Chapter 207: So It’s A Lack of Motherly Love

“Huh?”

“I mean, does he have some kind of illness…that makes him fear females?”

Shen Yan froze, shook her head abruptly, and sighed.

‘Seems like there’s really something wrong with him!’

“Jinyi, you’ve been married into this family for quite some time, you should know that Chengyu and I are in an arranged marriage. We are considered childhood friends who grew up together.”

She really didn’t know about that.

Like an obedient baby, Yan Jinyi placed her hands on her knees and kept her back straight, all prepared to listen.

“Do you know how their parents passed away?”

Seemingly having touched a sore spot and reminded of bad memories, Shen Yan’s expression turned a little gloomy, her eyes full of melancholy.

Yan Jinyi shook her head.

“Their mother set the fire and burned their father alive along with herself.”

Yan Jinyi’s pupils dilated and she was in disbelief.

There was surprisingly such a thing.

“Their mother’s family has a history of genetic psychosis. Actually, she was alright at first, but after she gave birth to Zihang, she gradually showed signs of psychosis. After Qingyuan was born, she lost her sanity and couldn’t recognize anyone.”

‘No wonder Huo Qingyuan is so attached to me and Sister-in-law. It turns out she lacks motherly love…’

‘She’s quite pitiful.’

“And what does that have to do with Huo Xishen?”

“I heard this from my grandfather. At that time, it was Xishen’s birthday and he secretly went to his mother’s residence, but somehow, she suddenly went mad and started hitting him violently. She tied him to a chair and said that she wanted to die with him. She then lit the curtains afire, and by the time his father arrived, the room was already in flames. After saving Xishen, he went back in to rescue his wife, but neither of them made it out alive.”

Yan Jinyi fell silent. ‘Huo Xishen must have developed his perverted character at that time.’

“This incident psychologically traumatized Xishen, and he began being resistant to women. Once he touches women, he will feel chilly all over.”

‘No wonder he evaded me when I tried to flirt with him.’

Shen Yan suddenly looked at Yan Jinyi and asked, “Jinyi, why did you suddenly ask about this? Did Xishen take the initiative to touch you?”

“Uh…” Yan Jinyi was a little embarrassed. He continued, “Ahem, I, I just thought it would be fun to molest him.”

Shen Yan immediately pulled Yan Jinyi over and looked at her from head to toe. “Are you injured?”

“Why would I be injured?”

With a strange look in her eyes, Shen Yan said, “Some socialites tried to touch Xishen, but they were thrown out by the bodyguards. They even got the family involved.”

This…

‘Is it that brutal?’

Yan Jinyi shivered. ‘From now on, I will not touch Huo Xishen for no reason again. What if he takes away my private stash? No. Since Huo Xishen has this cliché illness, why is Huo Xian still urging me to have a child everyday? Isn’t he out to kill Huo Xishen?! Huo Xian is too scheming, just like the rest of the family.’

‘I have to work hard to earn money and buy a mountain!’

‘Yes, I have to find some jobs now.’

Huo Zihang had just handled some media affairs and felt terrible.

He was about to have some drinks with a few friends, but Yan Jinyi called.

Huo Zihang picked up the phone hastily, “Second sister-in-law, what’s the matter?”

“Are there any jobs for me recently?”

‘Plenty.’

Huo Zihang was now personally managing Yan Jinyi’s job offers and he selected a few that he felt were good.

“Does that male magazine shoot pay a lot?”

“Not too bad.”

‘That means it’s not much, right? That damned Zhuang Heng and his assistant lied to me that magazine shoots pay a lot.’
