Chapter 89-90

Chapter 89: Unknown Background ... In an office on the top floor of a commercial building now. “Sir, the person we sent out has confirmed that the eldest daughter of the Yan Family had indeed grown up in an ‘Angel Orphanage’ in that small town over the years. There were traces of her living there. Even the place where she worked after graduating from the third year of junior high school was investigated, but…” The man sitting behind the desk was wearing a black shirt, making his face look even paler. He held a document in his hand and looked up when he heard this. “Oh? But what?” He then covered his mouth and coughed. After coughing, his face turned a few shades paler, but he did not appear to be in a sorry state. There was a faint smile at the corner of his lips that exuded shrewdness. “It’s just that Miss Yan doesn’t stay at every position for long. She has done nearly fifty jobs in three years, and the longest she has done is less than three months.” “Reason.” “According to the information we sent out, it’s said that it’s because Eldest Miss Yan’s personality isn’t very well-liked by her boss. She was either fired or she resigned on her own.” The man smiled mysteriously. “Is that so?” The assistant lowered his head, knowing that he wasn’t asking him. He didn’t respond and continued to report, “It’s just that the information that came back didn’t mention that Miss Yan knows how to race. It didn’t even mention that Miss Yan has been learning how to drive all these years. This is extremely inconsistent with Miss Yan’s performance at the racing arena that day.” “So, I’m afraid the information we’ve found about Miss Yan is very different from the truth.” The man raised his eyebrows. As expected. After all, the outcome would be the same even if Yin Jiujin was personally investigated. Ever since he saw Yan Jinyu’s outstanding driving skills at the racing arena that day, he knew that she wasn’t as simple as she looked. 　 　 It was a pity that the results were the same even after he sent a few groups of people to investigate. It seemed like his plan to find Yan Jinyu’s unknown side before Yin Jiujin was going to fail. Forget it. He did not expect to find anything from the beginning. However, even he and Yin Jiujin couldn’t find out anything about this eldest daughter of the Yan Family. He was really curious about her. “How’s Eldest Missy doing in North City?” The man was the head of the Huo Family, Huo Xuan, and the person standing in the office reporting to him was his assistant, Huo Ning. The Huo Corporation was more of a family business than the Yan Corporation. 80% of the higher-ups in the company were surnamed Huo. Of course, only their surnames were Huo. The Huo Family’s hierarchy was very clear. Just like Huo Xuan, he was the head of the entire Huo Family and had an outstanding status in the Huo Family. However, his assistant, Huo Ning, was from a side branch of the Huo Family. He was recruited by Huo Xuan because of his outstanding ability and was considered one of Huo Xuan’s right-hand men. “With Master Nine taking care of Missy on behalf of Young Master Qin, Missy won’t be in danger in North City. You also arranged for someone to take care of Missy beforehand. Missy has been well-taken care of by someone in North City for the past few days, but…” Huo Xuan glanced at him and Huo Ning’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly continued, “Missy was on the same flight as Master Nine from the capital to North City. Miss Yan went to pick Master Nine up and met Missy. Later, Missy received her invitation to attend the Yan Family’s birthday party.” 　 　 “It’s today, right.” He had just received the news. “The Eldest Miss Yan personally invited Rainy?” “Yes, someone from North City sent back the news. The invitation letter that Missy received was sent over by Master Nine.” “Is that so?” Huo Xuan’s lips curled up slightly as he tapped his hand on the desk in front of him. It had been a year since he brought Rainy back to the Huo Family, and he had a rough understanding of Rainy’s personality. She seemed easy to get along with, but she was actually very difficult to get close to. She was even a little distant from her family members like them. He didn’t expect that she would attend the Yan Family’s banquet according to Yan Jinyu’s wishes. Of course, the fact that Rainy got to know Yan Jinyu probably had something to do with Yin Jiujin. If he guessed correctly, the fact that Yin Jiujin would specially introduce Rainy to Yan Jinyu was something worth pondering about. If Yin Jiujin didn’t really care about Yan Jinyu, he wouldn’t have made such plans for her, even if it was just to introduce a girl of similar age to her in the upper-class circle. However, regardless of whether Yin Jiujin had contributed to Rainy and Yan Jinyu knowing each other, Yan Jinyu’s ability to make Rainy—who was difficult to get close to others—accept her invitation to the Yan Family’s birthday party on the second day she arrived in North City made him even more curious about Yan Jinyu. If Yin Jiujin hadn’t gotten back at him so quickly and made him so busy that he couldn’t escape from being trapped in South City, he really wanted to go to North City immediately to see this Eldest Miss Yan. 　 　 “What about now? Is Rainy still in the Yan Family?” “I was about to report this to you, Sir.” “It’s like this. I just received news that Eldest Miss Yan had already left the Yan Family an hour ago. She seemed to have fallen out with the Yan Family. The cause was that the Yan Family mistreated Eldest Miss Yan. Master Nine personally brought her out of the Yan Family and headed to Mount Jing.” Upon hearing this, Huo Xuan felt a little curious. “There’s such a thing? Are the Yan Family people brainless? Not to mention that Yin Jiujin does have some feelings for Miss Yan, even if he doesn’t, she still has the title of Yin Jiujin’s fiancée. It’s really hard to understand why the Yan Family would dare to treat her so harshly.” Huo Ning fell silent. He couldn’t understand it either. Other than the Yan Family being stupid, he could not think of a better reason to explain the Yan Family’s foolishness. “Besides, Eldest Miss Yan is obviously not an easy person to deal with. Yan Qingyu doesn’t even have such good judgment after staying together for two months?” “I think so. The Yan Family’s influence in North City has been greatly reduced under Yan Qingyu’s management all these years. It can be seen that Yan Qingyu is indeed not outstanding,” Huo Ning said. “It’s a pity. When Old Master Yan was still alive, the Yan Family was almost on par with the Huo Family. The Yan Family had already declined to such a state in just a few years. Now, they’ve fallen out with Yin Jiujin’s fiancée. They’ve indirectly offended Yin Jiujin. Tsk, the Yan Family will probably be wasted away by Yan Qingyu.” 　 　 “That’s not entirely true. The people in North City also sent news that Eldest Miss Yan had given 13% of the Yan Corporation shares that Old Madam Yan had left for her to Second Miss Yan. The Yan Family’s daughter, Yan Ruyu, who had married and settled overseas, had also taken out 10% of her 20% shares for Second Miss Yan. In addition, Old Yan had left 13% for Second Miss Yan. Currently, Second Miss Yan already has 36% of the Yan Corporation’s shares, which is 6% more than Yan Qingyu. Before tomorrow, the Yan Corporation will change its person-in-charge.” Huo Xuan had been so busy recently that he couldn’t leave. He had been in the office for almost a week and had no time to pay attention to the news outside. If it was in the past, he would definitely have received the news immediately after such a major event like the Yan Family changing its person-in-charge as Yan Jinyu was someone he was monitoring. He wouldn’t have to wait more than an hour to hear Huo Ning’s report now. “Interesting.” He coughed lightly. Although he was coughing and his face was pale and sickly, his aura did not decrease at all. It was feminine, but it exuded a faint shrewdness at the same time. It was very aggressive. “Second Miss Yan is Yan Jinyu’s twin sister? I heard that she has quite a reputation in the high society circle in North City?” “Yes, she’s the top socialite in North City. Although she’s only 18 years old, she already has her own people in the Yan Corporation. Yan Qingyu probably can’t compare to her in terms of knowledge and means. The Yan Family will probably rise to a higher level in her hands.” “Especially since she has Yan Jinyu’s support,” Huo Xuan added. “With Yan Jinyu’s support, not to mention that Yan Jinyu isn’t a simple person herself, just the fact that Yan Jinyu received Yin Jiujin’s special treatment means that the Yan Family’s future is destined to be limitless.” Huo Xuan knew very well what Yin Jiujin was capable of. In all these years, the only person he treated seriously as an opponent was Yin Jiujin. “It seems like it now.” The premise was that Master Nine had always treated Miss Yan differently. But Huo Ning didn’t voice it out. The fact that he could be used as Huo Xuan’s right-hand man showed that he had some capabilities. At this point, how could he not see that Yan Jinyu was not simple? Even without Yin Jiujin, with Yan Jinyu around, the Yan Family would definitely not decline in Yan Jinyun’s hands, which Yan Jinyu supported. “Miss Yan followed Master Nine to Mount Jing. It seems like she’s going to Mount Jing to continue celebrating her birthday. Second Miss Yan and the rest followed too…” “Missy went as well.” “Mount Jing?” Huo Xuan smiled. Mount Jing was Yin Jiujin’s private territory, and it was even very difficult for the Yin Family to step foot in it. He actually allowed Yan Jinyu to go to Mount Jing to celebrate her birthday. Not only that, but he also allowed others to follow them. He was already completely certain that Yin Jiujin cared for Yan Jinyu greatly. “Yes, but our men can’t follow Missy to Mount Jing to continue protecting her.” “It’s fine. Although Yin Jiujin doesn’t get along with me in the business world, he has a close relationship with Qin Hao. Rainy will only be safer in Mount Jing.” “Then, Sir, should we continue investigating Eldest Miss Yan?” *** Chapter 90: Master Nine’s Thoughts ... “There’s no need for that. We won’t be able to find anything even if we investigate further. After the trouble on hand is resolved, I’ll find a time to personally meet this Eldest Miss Yan.” “Yin Jiujin really can’t take a loss. I only caused him some small trouble, but he caused me twice as much trouble for revenge.” Huo Ning said nothing. He hung his head in silence. Small trouble? Even Master Nine had to personally deal with it for two months. If that kind of trouble was small trouble, what kind of trouble could be considered as big trouble? Sir even said that Master Nine couldn’t take a loss. He dared to guarantee that Sir would definitely think of ways to get back at him after he was done with his work. Sir wasn’t someone who would take a loss either. If not for his identity, he really wanted to shout out loud, “When will cycles of vengeance ever end!” However, he understood that the business world was like a battlefield. 　 　 Since it was a business competition, there was nothing wrong with stealing the other party’s business and causing trouble for the other party. However, if they kept fighting like this, there would probably be no end to it. He hoped that Sir would do what he had said. He would meet the eldest daughter of the Yan Family when the trouble on his hand was resolved. He also hoped he would pay attention to his propriety. He did not wish to provoke the eldest daughter of the Yan Family whose background was unclear and even antagonize Master Nine. *** At the same time, at Mount Jing in North City. At the foot of the mountain. The roads were a little congested and it took more than an hour for the cars to arrive at the foot of Mount Jing after leaving the Yan Family. The car at the front was Yin Jiujin’s private car. Lin Zimu drove the car while Yin Jiujin and Yan Jinyu sat in the back seat. As for the front passenger seat, Min Ting was sitting there to join in the fun. Along the way, Yin Jiujin would occasionally chat with Yan Jinyu. Although they didn’t talk much, the atmosphere didn’t seem awkward. No, it should be said that it wasn’t just awkward, but there was a warmth between the two of them that no one else could interfere. Min Ting couldn’t find a suitable opportunity to speak. The two people in the back seat had not spoken for more than ten minutes. He cleared his throat twice and tried to speak, “Um, Miss Yan, hello. There were too many people just now, so I didn’t have the chance to introduce myself to you. I’m Master Nine’s younger cousin, Min Ting. I’m ranked third in the Min Family.” 　 　 Min Qinglan, Yin Jiujin’s mother, was the adopted daughter of the Min Family. She was considered Min Ting’s aunt. Yan Jinyu’s hand was still held by Yin Jiujin. She tried to break free, but Yin Jiujin didn’t seem to have any intention of letting go of her. After struggling twice and failing, Yan Jinyu let him be. Yin Jiujin leaned lazily against the back of the car seat. He held Yan Jinyu’s hand and placed it on his knee. He didn’t say anything and only pinched her fingertips from time to time as if he was addicted to playing with her fingers. Yan Jinyu couldn’t be bothered with him. She simply looked at the scenery outside the car window. They both looked at him when they heard Min Ting speak. Needless to say, Min Ting was a little frightened when he suddenly met these two pairs of eyes. Never mind about Second Brother. Usually, Second Brother’s eyes were cold and dark. He was often frightened by Second Brother’s gaze, but Yan Jinyu… It must be his imagination. He actually felt that when she looked at him, there was a cold murderous intent in her eyes! When he took a closer look, the pair of black eyes on her smiling face looked very clear and clean. She looked like an innocent and harmless girl. Although he had seen Yan Jinyu’s racing video and knew that Yan Jinyu wasn’t as simple as she appeared to be, no matter how remarkable she was, she was only an 18-year-old girl. How could she possibly have the killing intent that even he, the dignified Third Young Master of the Min Family, would be frightened by? 　 　 He had almost lost his life before, and he had truly seen blood before. Unless her hands were indeed stained with blood, no matter how frightening her eyes were, it would not easily scare him. A young girl like Yan Jinyu had killed someone before? How was that possible! Hence, maybe it was only his imagination just now. But no matter what, he was very curious about Yan Jinyu. If Second Brother hadn’t said that he couldn’t interfere, he really wanted to investigate her carefully. Min Ting’s thoughts raced. Actually, it had only been a few seconds. Yan Jinyu smiled mildly, “Third Young Master Min, nice to meet you.” It was very likely that the Third Young Master of the Min Family could be Feng’s enemy. When she heard his introduction earlier, she almost couldn’t hide the murderous intent in her eyes. Tsk, she was too careless. However, Min Ting probably did not notice as she had calmed down so quickly. However, even if Min Ting didn’t notice it, it didn’t mean that Yin Jiujin didn’t notice it either.i Yin Jiujin had the alertness that could even sense she and Little Rain through the wall. Now, he was sizing her up. She pretended not to notice him sizing her up. Anyway, she was not afraid that he would find out who she was. She still hoped that he would find out earlier and then be surprised. So that he would stop calling her silly! However, Third Young Master Min and Yin Jiujin obviously had a good relationship. She didn’t know if they should be considered enemies or friends. If he hadn’t wanted to take Feng’s life like the Eldest Young Master of the Min Family, she wouldn’t have made an enemy of him. It would save Yin Jiujin from being caught in the middle. 　 　 “Thanks to Eldest Miss Yan, I’m able to experience the scenery of Mount Jing again.” “Third Young Master Min, you must be joking. Since you’re Brother Nine’s cousin, you’re naturally closer to him than me to Brother Nine. How is coming to Mount Jing all thanks to me!” “No,” Yin Jiujin said calmly. He looked at Yan Jinyu and said seriously, “I’m not closer to him than to you.” Min Ting was speechless. That hurt. Yan Jinyu looked at Yin Jiujin. She then blinked and grinned at him. How should she put it? Why did she feel that Yin Jiujin seemed a little cute? The frightening Master Nine should be cold and serious. Uh, with this expression, he was indeed cold and serious, but the words he said… The contrast was too great and cute! Seeing that she was staring at him and smiling more and more happily, Yin Jiujin’s eyes flashed and he moved his gaze away without a trace. He raised his hand and coughed dryly. Then, he glanced at Min Ting, who had an indescribable expression, and then looked at her. “Am I wrong? You’re my fiancée, and you’ll be my wife in the future. Isn’t a wife closer than a cousin?” Yan Jinyu smiled and nodded repeatedly, “Yes, you’re especially right. A wife is indeed closer than a cousin.” “…” Min Ting. What’s with Miss Yan’s doting and indulgent tone? Does she have some misunderstanding about her position? She was the adorable little wife while Second Brother was the bossy CEO! Ptui! Ptui! Ptui! What kind of nonsense was this! He has almost led astray! Yin Jiujin was also stunned by Yan Jinyu’s expression and tone. Forget it. He rubbed her head. This little girl. Yan Jinyu wanted to slap his hand away like she had done many times before, but she saw him release her hand. Then, she felt a tightness around her waist. In the next second, she was sitting on his lap. “…” Yan Jinyu. Her face suddenly felt hot. It was not the first time he had hugged her like this. It was just that the last time was in the living room of the mansion on Mount Jing when there were only the two of them and no one else around. Other than some strange emotions emerging from the bottom of her heart, she did not feel as flushed as now. Her face burned even hotter, especially after Min Ting stared at them with wide eyes and Lin Zimu stepped on the brakes. She refused to admit that she was feeling shy! It was just that the way she was being hugged like a child had hurt her dignity as the number one killer, so she was angry! Lin Zimu quickly stabilized the car and drove steadily forward. Min Ting also tactfully turned his head back and looked straight ahead. See no evil. At the same time, he was also extremely shocked! He knew in his heart that it was one thing for Second Brother to treat Eldest Miss Yan differently, but it was another thing for him to see the difference with his own eyes. This was too different! I didn’t expect you to be like this, Master Nine! “Ahem… Brother Nine, Brother Nine, what are you doing? I’m not a child. You’re making me lose face. Let go of me first…” Yin Jiujin held her waist tightly and leaned his chin on her shoulder. “Don’t move.” The warm breath landed on her ear. Yan Jinyu turned her head away uneasily, and her heartbeat inexplicably sped up. “Y-you, let go of me first.” The strange feeling in her heart was getting stronger, and she was not used to it. “I’m not letting go.” He had already wanted to do that when he led her out of the Yan Family’s house and into the car. The girl would live with him in Mount Jing in the future. At first, he thought that he would have to wait for a while before he could find an excuse to bring the girl over. He didn’t expect this day to come so quickly. Although he felt sorry for the girl for being treated so harshly by her family, he was glad in his heart. If her family hadn’t treated her badly, he wouldn’t have been able to keep the little girl by his side so early. “You’re my fiancée. Isn’t it normal for a fiancé to hug his fiancée?” “…It’s normal, but…” She wasn’t an ignorant young girl. Since she had acknowledged Yin Jiujin as her fiancé, she naturally knew that they would be the closest people in the future. She had long been mentally prepared. But it really happened, she seemed to be… It just felt different from what she had expected. With her cold-blooded personality, why would she feel uncomfortable just being hugged by him like this? Not only did her face turn red, but her heart would also beat very fast. There was even a strange feeling in her heart that she could not understand… This was very abnormal!
