Chapter 76-77

Among the servants in the Yan Family, Zhao Ling was the one who interacted with Yan Jinyu the most. Zhao Ling had been scared away by her gaze before, so when she met her smiling eyes, Zhao Ling’s heart panicked and she quickly lowered her head. She had a feeling that Missy had seen through her intentions. Panic turned to dread. “Y-yes.” Yan Jinyu stared at her until her palms were covered in cold sweat. Then, she smiled and handed the flowers to her. “Find a vase and place them in my room.” Did her parents want to wait for her for dinner? They didn’t have dinner at this time probably because of her aunt and Yan Jinyun. However, they didn’t call to remind her and only waited silently. This made Yan Jinyu’s mood a little strange. 　 　 Zhao Ling quickly took it. “Yes.” The fear in her heart towards Yan Jinyu didn’t decrease at all because of her smile. Her attitude became even more respectful. *** In the living room of the Yan Family’s main building. There were a few people sitting on the sofa. The moment Yan Jinyu stepped in, everyone looked up at her. She smiled gently. “Everyone’s here.” She nodded slightly to Yan Ruyu, who seemed to be relieved after seeing her. “Aunt.” “Yu’er is back. Have you had dinner?” “Not yet. Auntie, what about you guys?” “No! We were all waiting for you! You knew everyone was waiting, but you only came back at this time. No rules…” Fu Ya wanted to scold her for being unruly again. She only stopped when a few unkind gazes swept over. Other than Yan Jinyun and Yan Ruyu, there was also Yan Qingyu. Although everyone knew that Yan Jinyu had left with Yin Jiujin, only Yan Qingyu knew the meaning behind it. Without a doubt, after this incident, Yan Jinyu had become more important in Yan Qingyu’s heart. Not everyone could know Master Nine’s itinerary, and not everyone could rush to the airport to pick him up after knowing his itinerary. Not only was she not disliked by Master Nine, but she was also taken away by Master Nine. 　 　 Master Nine had probably valued his eldest daughter more than he thought. He had already fallen out with his eldest daughter. He could not let her have any more hatred for them. Seeing that Fu Ya had shut up, Yan Ruyu retracted her sharp gaze. When she looked at Yan Jinyu, even though there was no smile on her face, her expression was obviously much gentler. “We’re not hungry yet. It happens that we haven’t seen you for many years. I wanted to have a meal with you, so I waited for a while.” “The dishes have been prepared in the kitchen. Since Jinyu is back, let’s move to the dining room.” Yan Qingyu glanced at Yan Jinyu after saying that. He saw that she still had a faint smile on her face. Her eyes were clear, but for some reason, she gave off an unfathomable feeling. Was he thinking too much? He probably just thought that since she was with Master Nine today, it was inevitable that he would subconsciously look at her like he was looking at Master Nine. That was why he felt that he couldn’t see through her, right? Yan Ruyu stood up and looked at Yu Xiao, who remained silent at the side with his eyes darting around. “Wash your hands and come eat.” Yu Xiao was young but he was not stupid. He could tell how his uncle and aunt treated his elder cousin. He was young and there was no place for him to interrupt the conversation between the elders. Other than feeling pity for her, he could do nothing. He could only remain silent. After Yan Ruyu called Yu Xiao, she looked at Yan Jinyu. “Yu’er just came back from outside. Go and wash your hands too.” Yan Jinyu smiled and nodded. “Alright.” “I’ll go too!” Yan Jinyun didn’t care how surprised Yan Ruyu was, she turned around and followed Yan Jinyu. After a long while, Yan Ruyu recovered from her shock and said to Yu Wen, “Let’s go to the dining room first.” She couldn’t tell if she was feeling more emotional or relieved. 　 　 On the other side, Yan Jinyun, who had caught up with Yan Jinyu, hesitated for a moment before saying, “Y-you… Why are you… Are you with Master Nine today?” She originally wanted to ask Yan Jinyu where she had been today, but she felt that it was wrong to say it out loud. This would make it seem like she was very concerned about Yan Jinyu. She changed the topic and wanted to ask her why she came back so late. However, she realized that if she asked this, it would appear that she was even more concerned about Yan Jinyu. Hence, she changed the topic again. Although she still felt that it was a little inappropriate after asking, she couldn’t find any other topic to talk to Yan Jinyu about. Yan Jinyu raised her eyebrows and slowed down at the same time, “Yes, what’s wrong?” “No, nothing.” She felt that her tone was a little weak, so she raised her voice a little. “I’m just asking. Can’t I ask?” “Yes, of course.” Yan Jinyu smiled. “Why are you asking about this?” “You… I heard that you told Dad and Mom that when Master Nine comes back, you will move out of the Yan Family and pay them for your living expenses in the Yan Family during this period of time. Is that true?” Yan Jinyun couldn’t suppress her anger at the mention of this. God knew how angry she was when she heard those words! When Yan Jinyu heard that, her smile faded. “Who told you that?” Yan Jinyun initially still had a trace of hope, but when she saw this, her heart dropped. “So this is true?! You really said that?!” Yu Xiao slowed down and pricked up his ears. Of course, he was shocked too. However, he had to listen in for more details so that he could make his “report.” This was a task given to him by his mother. She wanted him to find out more about how his uncle and auntie treated his eldest cousin from others in the Yan Family during this period of time. 　 　 He knew very well why his mother did this. She had seen through his uncle’s and auntie’s tricks and did not believe them. She wanted to know how his elder cousin was doing in the Yan Family. “Yes.” “Who told you that?” Yan Jinyu’s face no longer had the usual smile, and her gaze was a little sharp. Looking into her eyes, Yan Jinyun felt an inexplicable fear. “W-why do you care who told me? Why are you doing this? Don’t you know that if you really do this, the Yan Family will lose face?” “Yes! I know that Mom and Dad… treat you a little badly. It’s understandable that you resent them, but the Yan Family was established by our ancestors. Our grandparents valued the Yan Family very much when they were still alive? If you do this…” “If there is anything you are angry about, our family can settle it behind closed doors. There’s no need to embarrass the Yan Family…” “The Yan Family’s face isn’t something I can lose just because I want to,” Yan Jinyu interrupted her. Yan Jinyun wasn’t stupid. On the contrary, she was very smart. She understood what Yan Jinyu meant. If her parents hadn’t gone overboard, even if Yan Jinyu wanted to, she wouldn’t have been able to find a chance to embarrass the Yan Family. Ever since her parents treated Yan Jinyu so badly, it was destined that the Yan Family would lose all their face, even if Yan Jinyu didn’t do anything. The outsiders didn’t know what kind of attitude her parents had during the kidnapping back then. Now that Yan Jinyu—who had been missing for 16 years—had returned, her parents couldn’t even resolve the small matter of her continuing to study in school. The outside world had probably seen through her parents long ago. The Yan Family had lost its face long ago. However, she still didn’t want Yan Jinyu to do that. If Yan Jinyu really did that, wouldn’t that mean that the relationship between Yan Jinyu and the Yan Family would end here? She had always known that Yan Jinyu looked down on the Yan Family’s assets. Perhaps, Yan Jinyu had not even taken her blood-related relatives seriously. As long as they didn’t completely blow things up, there was still room for negotiation. Once Yan Jinyu openly moved out of the Yan Family and paid her parents for her living expenses during this period of time, it was equivalent to Yan Jinyu and the Yan Family breaking up completely. Yan Jinyu didn’t even want to spend a single cent of the Yan Family’s money. It was just having an additional person living in the house. She couldn’t figure out why her parents wanted to force her to this extent! Yan Jinyu was clearly so pitiful. They had forced Yan Jinyu to this extent, and yet her father actually wanted her to think of a way to persuade Yan Jinyu not to do so. Persuade?! What right did she have to persuade her? They were clearly twins, and even she, the party concerned, felt very indignant about such a difference in treatment. This injustice made her feel guilty. She wasn’t a good person, nor would she show sympathy to unimportant people. She would eradicate anyone who would affect her interests. However, she made an exception for Yan Jinyu! “Also, I don’t hate them.” “You’re wrong about one thing. Ever since they didn’t treat me as their daughter, I’m no longer a family with them. If the Yan Family really lost face, it’s not me who caused it.” Yan Jinyun pursed her lips tightly. “So, you’re going to do this no matter what, right?” After asking, her eyes turned red. Looking at Yan Jinyun, Yan Jinyu’s eyes flickered slightly. Yan Jinyun couldn’t see Yan Jinyu’s expression after she continued to walk ahead. She only heard her say, “The decision to move out of the Yan Family won’t change, but I’ll find a suitable reason. I’ve said that I’ll pay for the living expenses in the Yan Family during this period of time, so I’ll definitely pay for it. However, I’ll pay when there’s no one else around.” “You…” “It’s time to wash our hands and eat. Otherwise, Aunt and Uncle will have to wait.” However, Yan Jinyun stood at the same spot and didn’t follow her. The guilt in her heart intensified. Yan Jinyu had already done so much. She was already repaying evil with kindness. If it were her, she would definitely not be so magnanimous. Then, how could she still have the face to persuade Yan Jinyu not to do this? Hearing the approaching footsteps, Yu Xiao, who had forgotten that he was eavesdropping, hurriedly stepped forward. He did not know if it was because he was too shocked or something else, but now that he was moving forward as stiff as a puppet. What should he describe about his uncle’s family? As expected of a wealthy family, it was like watching a show. How exactly did his elder cousin manage to say those words so calmly? He was filled with admiration. But yet it was heartbreaking. He was only 15 years old. Why did he have to feel such complicated emotions? It was a little unbearable for him. *** Chapter 77: Climbing The Wall At Night 　 Perhaps it was because there was something on everyone’s mind during dinner, but they ate exceptionally quietly and quickly. After eating, Yan Jinyu returned to her room. Logically speaking, Yan Ruyu’s family was here as guests, they should be staying in the villa where the Yan Family especially received guests… which was the villa Yan Jinyu stayed in after she returned to the Yan Family. Fu Ya was probably afraid that Yan Ruyu would get angry when she found out that Yan Jinyu was staying at the guest’s place, so she got someone to clean two rooms in the old residence at the back. She put it nicely by saying that Yan Ruyu had not returned to the Yan Family for a long time and that her room was at the old residence before she got married, so she let their family stay at the old residence for this period of time. 　 　 Yan Ruyu naturally agreed. Compared to these villas, she felt closer to the old residence. Because of this, she felt that Fu Ya had finally done something correct after marrying into the Yan Family for so many years. *** 11 pm. The sky was hazy, and there was no moon. Somewhere in the Yan Family’s mansion, a white figure threw something at the high wall. Then, with a push, she leaped onto the high wall. At this moment, there were still people in the Yan Family who were not asleep. There were still many rooms lit up, so one could vaguely see the person standing on the wall. She was wearing white canvas shoes, tight black jeans, and a white t-shirt. Her hair was tied into a high ponytail that reached her waist. For convenience’s sake, her ponytail was in a plaited. There was a cold and murderous look on her exquisite face. It was Yan Jinyu. It was a Yan Jinyu that Yan Jinyun had never seen before. Standing on the high wall, Yan Jinyu was about to jump down when she suddenly paused and turned back. Not far away was the Yan Family’s main building, and the lights in a room on the second floor of the Yan Family’s main building were still switched on. There was a person standing by the window. 　 　 The lights in the room were bright. Compared to the gray night outside, it was very easy to see the situation in the room. In addition, Yan Jinyu’s vision was very good. When she turned back and looked up, she could see the person standing by the window clearly. It was Yan Jinyun. After hesitating for a moment, she turned and jumped down the high wall. She landed steadily. A motorcycle roared forward and stopped in front of her. The person on the motorcycle had a pair of long legs. She was wearing a black leather jacket and pants. She was wearing a black helmet. The visor of the helmet was pushed up, revealing a pair of beautiful but cold eyes. She removed the white helmet from the motorcycle and threw it over. “Beauty Yu, catch it.” It sounded like it was Huo Siyu. The corners of Yan Jinyu’s lips curled up. She easily caught the helmet and skillfully put it on. With a light leap, she landed steadily on the back seat of the motorcycle. “Why are you calling me out so late at night?” “It’s not an urgent matter. I simply heard some news and wanted to bring you to watch a show. Speaking of which, Beauty Yu, it’s not too late for us, right? In the past, we mostly moved about at night.” As she spoke, the motorcycle started and sped off. “It feels like a long time ago. I’m used to sleeping and waking up early.” The wind was strong, but Huo Siyu still heard her clearly. 　 　 After a long silence, she said, “It’s good that you’re like this now. You won’t be in danger, and you don’t have to worry about getting injured or losing your life all day.” The topic was a little heavy. Huo Siyu sighed and changed her tone, “Aren’t you curious about the show I’m bringing you to watch?” “I will find out when we get there.” Huo Siyu chuckled. That was indeed Beauty Yu’s character. “That’s true. We’ll naturally know when we get there. By the way, Second Young Master Yin got someone to pass me the invitation to the birthday party. But Beauty Yu, if I’m not wrong, you should have left one for Second Young Master Yin too, right? Aren’t you afraid that Second Young Master Yin will suspect you if you use your handwriting? An ordinary junior high school student in a remote place can’t write such sharp and pleasing words.” Huo Siyu asked this because she knew Yan Jinyu well. She wrote two invitations at the same time. Beauty Yu would never use two forms of handwriting. The reason was simple. She was lazy. Yes, the famous “Chi” who was rumored to be ruthless and kill without batting an eye, was actually very lazy. Usually, she would not use her brain when it was something that could be solved by hand. Something that could be solved without using her brain or her hands was the best for her. Just like now, Beauty Yu was not even curious at all when she wanted to bring Beauty Yu to watch the show. It was not that she was really not interested, but she was too lazy to think. 　 　 It was no wonder that Second Young Master Yin felt that Beauty Yu was silly. Didn’t she look silly when she retracted her murderous aura and was too lazy to think? “It’s fine. I don’t plan on hiding my identity from him forever. Little Rain, I want to spend the rest of my life with Yin Jiujin. Even if I want to hide it from him, how long do you think I can hide my identity from Yin Jiujin?” Huo Siyu fell silent. If she didn’t come into contact with her, she felt that she could hide it for a long time. However, if she came into contact with her, especially since they would be together all day, she felt that it was impossible to hide Beauty Yu’s identity from Yin Jiujin. After all, Yin Jiujin’s gaze when he sized them up was already very shocking when she had met Beauty Yu at the airport this morning. “That’s true, but Beauty Yu, aren’t you worried that he will ruin your plans if he finds out about your identity?” “Ruin my plans?” She chuckled. “Little Rain, could it be that in your eyes, Bai Ye, whom I owe a favor to, is more important than my fiancé, Yin Jiujin?” No. Huo Siyu fell silent. If she really did, Beauty Yu wouldn’t have wandered around aimlessly for the past three years. It was only when they mentioned Bai Ye to her and mentioned that Bai Ye’s death might be related to the Yin Family that Beauty Yu decided to come back and investigate. But what about Beauty Yu and Yin Jiujin? It had only been so long, and Beauty Yu had already allowed Yin Jiujin to pinch her face. She had never received such benefits after knowing Beauty Yu for so many years. She felt a little depressed thinking about it. “Beauty Yu, do you trust him?” “What about you, Little Rain? Do you trust Master Qin?” Huo Siyu choked. “…It doesn’t matter if I trust him or not. I’m still the daughter of the Huo Family and I’m engaged to him. The Huo Family…” She paused and paused.” The Huo Family always protects me. Besides, I have a capable brother. Even if Qin Hao finds out about my identity one day, with the Huo Family protecting me, Qin Hao won’t be able to hurt me. ” “Besides, the marriage contract between the Qin Family and the Huo Family is closely related to the interests of the two families. It can’t be destroyed just like that. I’m also the daughter of the Huo Family. No matter how good the Huo Family is to me, as long as I still want the status of the Huo Family’s daughter, I will inevitably have to walk down the path of marital alliance in the future. Since I already have to marry, I might as well marry someone I like.” “Qin Hao is indeed a soldier. He is upright and honest. However, perhaps because he grew up in a big family like the Qin family, Qin Hao is not stupid. He is flexible and will treat his wife well.” “But Little Rain, you already said that he’s a soldier… On some level, the Young Master of the Qin Family is our enemy.” Yan Jinyu’s tone was filled with worry. 　 　 She had never officially met Qin Hao before and didn’t know if this person was trustworthy. She was only worried that Little Rain was making things too simple. If Little Rain was interested in Qin Hao in the end and Qin Hao couldn’t accept Little Rain’s identity, Little Rain would probably be injured. Yan Jinyu was such a person. She always cared more about the people she cared about than herself. She hadn’t thought about whether Yin Jiujin would accept her after knowing her identity, nor had she thought about what would happen to her if Yin Jiujin didn’t accept her. However, she was worried that Huo Siyu would be hurt in such a situation. “Hey, Beauty Yu, I’m asking you. Why are you talking about me? You haven’t answered me yet.” “Of course I trust him,” she replied without hesitation. Huo Siyu was surprised. “What?” Yan Jinyu knew that she had heard it and didn’t say anything else. “But that doesn’t make any sense, Beauty Yu. Why do you trust him? Just based on the few interactions you have with him? Or based on the information you have about him?” The key was that she didn’t hesitate to answer. This didn’t make sense when it comes to Beauty Yu! “Because he treats me well. Just because I’m Yan Jinyu.” Not only did she have a terrible past, but she also didn’t have any strong points. She was the eldest daughter of the Yan Family, Yan Jinyu, who had been missing for many years and was very disliked by her biological parents. If it were any other man who was engaged to her, it would be good enough that he didn’t dislike her. How could he be like Yin Jiujin, who was clearly very busy but yet still remembered her three meals every day? Even if he didn’t have the time to call, he would send a message to remind her. Furthermore, he was Yin Jiujin. Who was Yin Jiujin? He was the God of Slaughter in the business world. People called him Master Nine. Even she would have considered him as someone she had to take into consideration! And it was such a person who treated her sincerely without knowing her background. Huo Siyu was silent for a long time. She understood Beauty Yu’s mentality. Other than the Huo Family being good to her and the Yan Family being bad to Beauty Yu, there was not much difference between their experiences. “I’m glad you trust him, Beauty Yu. Actually, I’m very happy.” “Happy about what?” “I’m just happy.” Happy that Beauty Yu had finally found someone to stop her from searching the world for a reason to live. She clearly cherished her life but yet had no reason to live on. Not everyone could understand this kind of sorrow. The motorcycle crossed the noisy alley and stopped at the back door of a clubhouse. Yes, the back door. Since they wanted to watch the show, of course, they could not walk through the front door openly. Otherwise, with their looks, they would be too big a target. *** At the same time, in the small villa on Mount Jing. In the study. Rows of bookshelves filled with all kinds of books. Among these bookshelves was a sofa for resting. There was a wooden coffee table in front of the sofa, and behind the desk was a large chair. Besides the stacks of documents and computers on the desk, there was also an invitation letter. The invitation letter was placed on the desk. On it were the words “Yin Jiujin” written in a black carbon pen. The handwriting was beautiful and sharp. It was obvious that it was not written by an ordinary girl with only a junior high education. The invitation letter was placed on the desk, but the person who opened it was no longer in the study. He was no longer in the villa building. As for where he went, no one knew. However, in this well-organized study, from the open invitation letter and the obviously unaligned large chair, the person who had seen the invitation must have left in a hurry.
