Chapter 9 A Familiar Figure

  Yin's family.

  "Yi Ze, Auntie hasn't seen you for a long time, I've missed you." Chen Yuhua saw the enthusiasm of He Yi Ze and compared it to his cold words mocking Tong Mai, they were like two different people.

  "Things have been pretty busy at the company lately."

  He Yize said calmly and composedly.

  "A man should prioritize his career, don't listen to your aunt's gossip." Mr. Yin was also inviting He Yize to drink tea, with a very friendly attitude, and he liked He Yize very much.

  "What's with you muttering to yourself? It's been a while since Yize came to our house, aren't you always thinking about it, is Yize busy lately? Why haven't we seen him come to our house?"

  Chen Yuhua retorted, but the family was still quite harmonious. To a certain extent, they were even a happy family. Of course, this happy family required completely ignoring Tong Mai's existence to be considered happy.

  "Huh, little..."

  Yin Yuqi looked around, seemingly without any sign of Tong Mai. But just as she was about to speak, Chen Yuhua interrupted her, "Cough...cough..." and made a loud coughing sound, giving her a signal with his eyes, hinting that she shouldn't mention Tong Mai.

  Huo Yize keenly noticed this point. If he wasn't mistaken, they were now talking about Yu Qi's younger half-sister from the same father but different mother.

  "Auntie, I still have something to do, I'll come visit you again another day." Huo Yize's tone was particularly crisp. He didn't like prying into other people's family affairs, perhaps with an outsider like him present, they would feel uncomfortable talking about things.

  "How can you be in such a hurry to leave? You've only just arrived, and I've already instructed the servants to prepare dinner. Besides, it's pouring rain outside, and it's not safe to go out at this time."

  Chen Yuhua sincerely wanted to keep He Yize, and the family's feelings would deepen. She looked out of the window at the heavy rain pouring down, wondering when it would stop, while Tong Mai, that dead girl, would definitely not return until after the rain had passed.

  Thinking of Tong Mai's dead wife, Chen Yuhua felt a surge of suffocation in her chest.

  Huo Yize stood up, and Yin Yuqi also refused to let him leave now. "Mom is right, wait for the rain to stop before going back, I'm worried about you." A slightly coquettish voice, pulling on his hand, her eyes filled with concern for him.

  "Auntie... sorry to disturb you."

  Although his personality is somewhat cold, the cultivation he should have is not lacking in any way. As a result, the whole person looks like a majestic and dignified prince, with elegance revealing a hint of evilness, which adds to his intense charm.

  "Yi Ze, what are you talking about? You and Yu Qi are already engaged, we're family." Chen Yuhua corrected him with a serious expression.

  "Right, you two have been engaged for a while now. When are you going to get married?" At this time, Mr. Yin also spoke up and asked about Yinyuqi's marriage.

  "Dad..."

  Yin Yuqi called out to her father with a blush, and her cheeks unconsciously turned red.

  Being able to be Huo Yize's wife has always been her most ardent wish, and as soon as she slightly fantasizes about their happy and sweet life after marriage, Yin Yuqi will become infatuated...

  "What's wrong, Dad? You and Yize aren't strangers, you've known each other for so long, getting married is the right thing to do, don't you think, Yize?"

  Yin's father threw the topic to Huo Yize.

  He, on the other hand, hooked his lips and originally invited him to come over today. "Forced marriage" was their true intention. In fact, there is no need to be so hasty. Since he will get engaged to Yin Yuqi, he has already recognized her...

  "Uncle, you're right. Once I'm done with the project at hand, Rainy and I will get married." As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Yin Yuqi, his eyes seeming to hold a hint of doting affection, but not overly so.

  Yin Yuqi heard this and couldn't hide her joyful emotions.

  "Great..."

  Chen Yuhua's face was full of joy and excitement, smiling so widely that her mouth almost couldn't close.

  But at this time, Tong Mai's appearance was enough to make her hide all her smiles...

  Due to the rain, Tong Mai appeared in the living room of the Yin family, drenched from head to toe, looking like a drowned rat. Her gaze quickly swept across the people in the living room, and she had just heard their laughter from outside the door, indicating that they had guests. At this time, she usually couldn't be seen, and with her quick wit, she wanted to flash into her own room to hide. Moreover, her drenched appearance was enough to shock anyone.

  Her appearance, everyone's eyes fell on her, it was hard not to become the focus.

  That figure...

  Huo Yize's eyes sank halfway down in an instant, as if to gaze more clearly. Her head was lowered, and her face couldn't be seen at all.

  But this figure, why did he suddenly feel a sense of familiarity...
