Chapter 658: 654. The Wife's Family Is Not Simple (Please Subscribe and Vote)

"Sister." Seeing Huo Zhiyuan, Huo Xin was still somewhat emotional.

Ever since the incident with the Huo Family last time, the two sisters hadn't seen each other again.

Huo Zhiyuan took Huo Xin's hand and said with a smile, "You've put on quite a bit of weight; it seems you've been doing quite well during this time."

"No way, I'm not fat at all." Huo Xin revealed a coy, girlish expression, which left Peter, who was standing to the side, stunned for a long while.

"Alright, not fat. By the way, didn't you say you were in Los Angeles before? How did you come to New York?" Huo Zhiyuan asked.

"We came out for a trip and just happened to run into Brother Zhang," Huo Xin said.

"This is my husband, Peter, and this is my sister, Huo Zhiyuan." Huo Xin almost forgot to introduce the two.

There was also a child, a girl who was just five years old now, with the Chinese name Huo Linlin.

Peter knew a little about Huo Xin's family situation, but it was limited to just how many people were in it; Huo Xin basically never mentioned anything else in front of him.

Peter could tell that Huo Xin didn't have a shred of affection for her original family, and was even full of hatred.

Of course, Peter also knew a little about Huo Zhiyuan; he knew she was the person Huo Xin cared about most, and the only person in the entire Huo Family she cared about.

"This is a gift from your aunt, do you like it?" Huo Zhiyuan held Huo Linlin's small hand and took out the gift she had prepared long ago.

Originally, she had planned to visit Huo Xin when she left the United States, but since they had already met, it was the perfect time to give her the gift.

Huo Linlin looked at the exquisite necklace, her little face showing how much she liked it, but she turned her head to look at her mother.

"Since your aunt gave it to you, just take it, and don't forget to say thank you," Huo Xin said with a smile.

"Thank you, Aunt." Huo Linlin's Chinese was actually quite good, and she said it immediately upon hearing this.

"You're welcome. If you have time in the future, have your mother bring you to visit Aunt's home," Huo Zhiyuan said softly.

Huo Linlin asked curiously, "Aunt, where do you live?"

"I live in Huaxia, very, very far from here."

"Oh, then when can I go to your house to play?"

"You'll have to ask your mother about that."

"Are you having any difficulties in your life here?" Huo Zhiyuan asked casually while watching Huo Linlin eat happily.

Huo Xin thought for a moment and said, "Not for the time being. Although we don't earn a lot of money, it's enough for us to live on."

Peter was slightly stunned upon hearing this; their income wasn't low at all, and he, Peter, was already considered a fairly well-known lawyer.

In the United States, lawyers were the representatives of the middle class, and someone with his level of fame had an even higher income; why was his wife being so humble?

"That's fine, just tell me if you're short on money." Huo Zhiyuan didn't inquire further about these matters; she didn't care about money at all.

After the meal, since it was rare for the sisters to meet, Huo Xin stayed at the hotel where Zhang Ran and the others were staying that night.

"This hotel... is Big Sister with Galaxy Capital?" Peter looked at the luxuriously decorated room and was slightly stunned.

Huo Xin said casually, "No, why?"

"No? Then why is she staying here? Wasn't this place booked out by Galaxy Capital?" Peter had seen the notice at the entrance: no entry for non-Galaxy Capital employees.

Huo Xin had just finished showering and was preparing to go chat with her sister; she didn't care about this, "My sister isn't, but someone else is."

Peter thought of Zhang Ran and the others; perhaps one of them was from Galaxy Capital, but was it really appropriate to bring people in so casually?

Moreover, there were quite a few people who wanted to come over to find them now. He was a lawyer who handled commercial matters, and since the morning, the entire American business world had been discussing Fengli Finance.

Especially those in the investment world, and these people in the investment world were his main clients.

Speaking of Fengli Finance, one had to mention Galaxy Capital; Galaxy Capital was the hot commodity right now, and everyone wanted to get close to them.

Peter shook his head and stopped thinking about it; it had nothing to do with him anyway.

"Honey, why did you say earlier that we don't earn much money? If your sister is in trouble, we can fully support her a little; you don't need to worry about our income."

"Besides, your husband's salary is quite good, and if nothing goes wrong, it will be even higher this year; the law firm's performance this year is excellent." Peter thought of his confusion during the meal.

Huo Xin looked at her husband, looking at his earnest eyes, feeling both touched and somewhat amused.

"Did you think I said that because I didn't want to lend money to my sister?" Huo Xin said with amusement.

Peter shrugged and said, "That's not what I meant."

"Hmph, that is exactly what you meant," Huo Xin huffed.

Peter saw that things were going south and immediately prepared to concede, but Huo Xin wasn't actually angry and quickly said with a laugh, "We really don't have money."

"Don't rush to speak. The 'no money' I'm talking about is relative. My sister's net worth—not to mention anything else—is at least one billion US dollars," Huo Xin said calmly.

Peter was stunned, then laughed, "Honey, don't joke. One billion? Fine, we don't have money, but..."

Peter couldn't believe it at all. One billion US dollars? Had Huo Xin lost her mind?

Huo Xin looked at his disbelieving expression and pursed her lips, saying, "Is one billion US dollars a lot?"

Peter stared blankly at his wife; why did it feel like his wife had become a different person ever since she met Huo Zhiyuan?

Is one billion US dollars not a lot?

It's super much, okay? That's a number he wouldn't even dare to imagine.

And now, it was being called "not a lot" in Huo Xin's mouth?

Is it not a lot?

"And you always say you move in high society; did you not recognize my sister's identity? Or Brother Zhang's?" Huo Xin could only remind him.

Her inner knot had been untied, and she no longer needed to hide family matters from her husband; now was the perfect time to talk about it.

"Identity? What identity?"

"My sister's name is Huo Zhiyuan; haven't you heard of her?" Huo Xin reminded him again.

"Uh... I remember now. So that's it. The economic magazines you kept hidden at home years ago—she is your sister?" Peter was stunned.

Huo Xin used to collect reports about Huo Zhiyuan, and Peter knew it, but he pretended not to know and never asked; he had previously thought she was just an idol Huo Xin admired.

"Yes," Huo Xin said.

"My wife's sister is a super-rich tycoon?" Peter muttered to himself.

Huo Xin corrected him, "Not a super-rich person, just a rich person; the super-rich person is Brother Zhang."

"Him? And who is he?" Peter was truly a bit shocked this time; he discovered that his wife seemed a bit mysterious.

No, it was his wife's family that was a bit mysterious; having a super-rich older sister didn't count, and there was also a Brother Zhang who was a super-rich person?
