Chapter 285: Second Young Mistress Must Be Talented

Yan Jinyi excused herself in the midst of the conservation by saying that she had to go to the washroom.

Mrs. Li immediately winked at Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu.

‘Second Young Mistress Huo seems to be a woman who has nothing to offer except her pretty face. If I can give her a hard time today and make her embarrass herself in front of everyone, she will definitely be disliked by Mr. Huo and even the entire Huo Family.’

‘If I do better than her, I might even get praised by my husband and get a good amount of allowance…’

When Yan Jinyi returned, Huo Xishen and others had already moved to the tearoom next door, where several wives of wealthy men were sitting around and writing calligraphy.

When she saw Yan Jinyi, Mrs. Li waved at her with a smile, “Second Young Mistress Huo, you’re back. Come and look at the calligraphy we’ve done. Which one do you think is the best?”

After taking a glance, she thought ‘Apart from Mrs. Li’s, the rest are all mediocre!’

“All of them are good.”

She went against her conscience and answered.

“I heard that Old Master Huo and Mr. Huo are both good at calligraphy, so I guess you’re quite proficient in calligraphy too, right? Why don’t you write some words for us to see now?”

Mrs. Li took a clean piece of rice paper and handed the brush to Yan Jinyi.

Seeing this, Yan Jinyi raised her eyebrows.

‘Is she trying to compete with me in calligraphy? Is she sure she wants to? Is there something wrong with their brains? I come from ancient times, of course I’m good at calligraphy.’

Yan Jinyi pretended to hesitate and said, “But my calligraphy skills are not up to standard.”

“Ah, no one will mind it. Besides, you’re Mr. Huo’s wife so you must be very talented. How can you not know how basic calligraphy is!?”

Yan Jinyi considered for a long time with a troubled expression before nodding reluctantly. “Okay then.”

She took the brush and first drew a few circles on the paper.

Seeing this, the wives of wealthy men were more and more certain that Yan Jinyi was not proficient in calligraphy.

“Second Young Mistress Huo…”

“I’m trying to get a feel of it.”

Hearing it, Mrs. Li’s eyes were full of disdain.

‘Hmph, I’ll see what you can do after you can’t write anything.’

Mrs. Li seemed to have grasped the perfect timing as Huo Xishen and the others seemed to have walked out from the room next door.

When he saw Yan Jinyi holding the brush and drawing circles on the paper, Huo Xishen furrowed his handsome brows and said, “Darling, what are you doing?”

“Mr. Huo, Second Young Mistress Huo is doing some calligraphy!”

‘Calligraphy? Can those circles be considered calligraphy too?’

The other business elites looked at them in disdain.

‘Why is Mr. Huo’s wife so uncultured? Even if she can’t do calligraphy, she shouldn’t draw circles on paper!’

Huo Xishen was just about to speak but Yan Jinyi stretched her back and said, “Ah, I finally found the grasp. Is this brush made of weed? Why is the quality so poor?”

Mrs. Li couldn’t help but explain, “Second Young Mistress Huo, this is quite a good brush.”

“Is that so?” Yan Jinyi casually wrote Huo Xishen’s name on the paper and said, “It really feels mediocre!”

However, when everyone saw it, they all looked surprised.

She had really just written them casually and even her strokes seemed rather scribbled.

However, they were just right and she had applied just the right amount of force. The thickness of the strokes was apt too.

Her calligraphy was considered good.

Besides, she was just writing them casually, if she decided to write it properly…

Huo Xishen squinted and stared at his name, which was written on the rice paper.

‘Why does her handwriting look so nice?’

Yan Jinyi said modestly, “I’ve embarrassed myself.”

“…”

‘You call that embarrassing…’
