Chapter 126-127

Chapter 126: Stupid Qiu Family ... In the hall on the first floor of the Empire Group. Seeing the group of people walking in, the two receptionists stood up. One of them smiled politely and asked, “Hello, may I know who you are looking for?” Qiu Cheng glanced at Qin Bailu. Seeing that she didn’t say anything and didn’t seem to have any intention of speaking, he said to the receptionist, “Hello, we’re looking for Master Nine.” Even if the other party was only the receptionist, Qiu Cheng didn’t dare to slight her. 　 　 After all, this was the Empire Group, and its owner was Master Nine, whom few people dared to offend in the capital. There weren’t many people who dared to come to the Empire Group and say that they were looking for Master Nine. The two receptionists were stunned for a moment, but their excellent professionalism quickly made them recover their polite smiles. “Sir, do you have an appointment?” Qiu Cheng’s expression froze, “No.” There were six to seven people in this group. They didn’t have an appointment and still dared to come to the Empire Group in such a grand manner to look for Master Nine?! Who gave them courage? No matter how good the receptionist was at her job, she couldn’t help but reveal an incredulous expression as she stared at the group of people in front of her. Until all of them were embarrassed and terrified. Qiu Jian, who was sitting in the wheelchair, didn’t dare to make a sound. Her respect for Master Nine made her persuade them not to come to the Empire Group directly to look for them more than once, but no one listened to her. Even Qin Bailu didn’t say anything. In the end, the group of them headed straight for the Empire Group from the airport. Qin Bailu and Qiu Cheng said that they could only see Master Nine in North City at Mount Jing and the Empire Group. They didn’t dare to enter Mount Jing, so they could only go to the Empire Group to try their luck. However, even so, they still came over nervously. Suppressing the fear in his heart, Qiu Cheng said with an awkward expression, “However, we’re here on Master Nine’s request to apologize to him. You only have to say that the Qiu Family in the capital brings an unfilial daughter to apologize and Master Nine will meet us.” From the capital… Although she didn’t know which Qiu Family it was, since they came from the capital and dared to provoke Master Nine, their status must not below. However, the receptionist still declined politely with a smile. “I’m sorry, we couldn’t let you up without an appointment. Please forgive us.” 　 　 The receptionist added, “Even if you’re here to apologize to Master Nine.” “However, Sir, you can try to contact Master Nine or Special Assistant Lin. Otherwise, you can contact Secretary Zhao and Secretary Zhou. We can only let you in after you have been given permission.” “Sir, since you’re here to apologize to Master Nine, even if you can’t contact Master Nine directly, you should have the contact information of the others, right? They’re all people around Master Nine.” Every word from the receptionist pierced Qiu Cheng’s heart like a needle. He didn’t have any contact information! He didn’t even have Master Nine’s secretary’s contact information! If he did, why would they come to the Empire Group without even informing him? Even if he was stupid, he knew that it would be easier for the latter to anger Master Nine if he came over directly over without informing him. Seeing Qiu Cheng’s expression, the two receptionists knew that they didn’t have any contact information at all. They wouldn’t dare to let them in now. They didn’t even have the thought of calling the 55th floor to ask about them. At the same time, she looked at them with a strange gaze. As if she were looking at idiots. They didn’t even have anyone’s contact number and they actually dared to come to the Empire Group to look for him. Did they just come over without informing anyone? Were they here to apologize or to offend someone? Was this really someone from a certain family in the capital? Could he be an imposter? Qiu Cheng didn’t say a word under the gazes of the two receptionists as if they were looking at an idiot. Qiu Jian asked Qin Bailu with a stiff face, “Bailu, you’re the Second Miss of the Qin Family. You should have the contact number of Special Assistant Lin beside Master Nine, right?” 　 　 He didn’t even ask her if she had Yin Jiujin’s contact number. Instead, he directly asked about Lin Zimu’s. This meant that Qiu Jian still had some self-awareness. She knew that even if Qin Bailu was the Second Missy of the Qin family, it was impossible for her to have Yin Jiujin’s phone number. However, Qiu Jian emphasized the words “Second Missy of the Qin Family” loudly. She was obviously angry that these two small receptionists dared to look down on the Qiu Family. Since they dared to underestimate the Qiu Family, she would bring out the Qin Family. They wouldn’t dare to underestimate them, right!? However, they did not know that the two receptionists were not looking down on the Qiu Family. It was just that they had never heard of the Qiu Family in the capital. When the two receptionists heard the words “Second Missy of the Qin Family”, the way they looked at Qin Bailu instantly changed. The Yin and Qin families were the three largest families in the capital. The Qin Family and the Yin Family’s status were almost equal. And Yin Jiujin, the boss they respected, was the Second Young Master of the Yin Family. It could be because of the Qin Family’s status or because they were in awe of Yin Jiujin and didn’t dare to slight the three families in the capital, it was normal for their expressions to change when they found out that Qin Bailu was the Second Missy of the Qin Family. The two receptionists were only surprised by Qin Bailu’s identity. Qiu Jian and the others were only pleased to see the two receptionists’ expressions change, so they didn’t notice Qin Bailu’s slightly ugly expression. She glanced at Qiu Jian with an unfriendly gaze. Then, she hid the anger in her eyes and smiled gently and kindly at the two receptionists, “Although I’m the Second Missy of the Qin Family, I rarely interact with Master Nine and don’t have Master Nine’s contact information. As for Special Assistant Lin besides Master Nine, I’m still a student now and the field I’m good at isn’t related to Master Nine. Naturally, I don’t have Special Assistant Lin’s contact information.” 　 　 “Please help me tell Master Nine that my sister knows that I’m coming to North City. Thinking that Master Nine hasn’t been back for a long time, she specially asked me to bring two of Grandma Wu’s best dishes to Master Nine,” Qin Bailu said as she waved the lunch box in her hand. Grandma Wu was an elder of the Yin Family. To be precise, she was the elder beside Old Master Yin and Old Madam Yin. After Old Madam Yin passed away, she remained by Old Master Yin’s side to take care of Old Master Yin’s meals. The two receptionists didn’t know Grandma Wu’s identity, but they knew that the eldest daughter of the Qin Family was the eldest young mistress of the Yin Family, Master Nine’s sister-in-law. It had to be said that Qin Bailu was indeed smart. She knew that the eldest daughter of the Qin Family, Qin Jianjia, would definitely ask her to send something to Yin Jiujin when she came to North City. That was why she specially called Qin Jianjia before leaving for the capital’s international airport. Qin Bailu was used to currying favor, so even if they didn’t have the same mother, Qin Jianjia didn’t hate her much. After learning that Qin Bailu was going to North City, she asked her if there was anything she wanted her to bring for Yin Jiujin. Qin Jianjia asked Grandma Wu to make two of Yin Jiujin’s favorite dishes and bring them to North City. Of course, Qin Jianjia actually didn’t like Qin Bailu too much either. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked Qin Bailu to bring something to Yin Jiujin but didn’t give Qin Bailu Yin Jiujin’s contact information. Did Qin Bailu not ask? Of course not. Qin Bailu asked, but Qin Jianjia, who knew Yin Jiujin’s temper, didn’t say anything. She only said that Yin Jiujin had never been close to the other members of the Yin Family, and she didn’t have Yin Jiujin’s current phone number. She also said that if Qin Bailu didn’t find it troublesome, she could send the dishes to the Empire Building. If she found it troublesome, she could eat the two dishes herself. It was one thing to care about Yin Jiujin, but it was another thing to not anger him. Qin Jianjia’s thoughts were that if Yin Jiujin was willing to see Qin Bailu, those two dishes would naturally fall into his hands. If Yin Jiujin wasn’t willing to see Qin Bailu, it was only two dishes. The Yin Family didn’t lack those two dishes, so she could take it that she had given them to Qin Bailu. At the end of the day, it was all because Yin Jiujin hadn’t returned to the Yin Family for too long that Qin Jianjia didn’t hesitate to get someone to deliver food for him. “Second Miss Qin, please wait a moment. Let me ask.” Just as the receptionist finished speaking, before Qin Bailu could be smug, she heard a voice from behind her. “There’s no need to ask. Yin Jiujin doesn’t want them.” Everyone looked over and saw a girl in a white t-shirt walking over leisurely with one hand in her pocket and the other playing with her phone. At that moment, there was an indecipherable smile on her face. “Miss Yu!” The two receptionists greeted her respectfully at the same time. The Qiu Family quickly guessed the identity of the person when they called her “Miss Yu” and the two receptionists’ obviously warm and respectful attitude. That was the eldest daughter of the Yan Family in North City who had been missing for many years and Master Nine’s fiancée! Of course, other than Qiu Jian, there was another person who recognized Yan Jinyu at first sight. That person was Qin Bailu. Qin Bailu had been thinking about marrying Yin Jiujin, so she had naturally investigated Yan Jinyu, Yin Jiujin’s legitimate fiancée carefully. Unfortunately, the results of her investigation did not even mention that Yan Jinyu knew how to race. However, the Yan Jinyu she heard from Qiu Jian was clearly not what she had found out… This made it even harder for Qin Bailu to ignore Yan Jinyu, Yin Jiujin’s fiancée. Thinking about those rumors that Yin Jiujin treated Yan Jinyu differently, Qin Bailu couldn’t sit still anymore. She actually had two objectives for coming to North City. Firstly, she wanted to show her face in front of Yin Jiujin so that he would remember her. Secondly, she wanted to meet Yan Jinyu, who had already become famous in the capital before she even appeared. However, what did Yan Jinyu say just now? Was Yin Jiujin going to eat them up?! 　 *** Chapter 127: Domineering Jin Yu ... Not to mention that Yan Jinyu actually dared to call Master Nine by his name, which made her jealous, Yan Jinyu was actually making a decision for Master Nine. How could Yan Jinyu dare to make a decision for Master Nine! “So it’s Eldest Miss Yan. I’ve long heard of your name. We’ve finally met today.” She had seen Yan Jinyu’s photo before. At that time, she was so angry with Yan Jinyu’s appearance that she threw the things in the room. Now that she saw her in person and she was actually even more beautiful than the photo! 　 　 Moreover, Yan Jinyu seemed to have an indescribable temperament other than her beauty. She made people feel that she was the most conspicuous person in the crowd! Qin Bailu was alarmed. Yan Jinyu made her feel a strong sense of danger. It was as if as long as Yan Jinyu was around, she would never get to marry Master Nine… No, it was as if she would never have the chance to get close to Master Nine! How was that possible?! Not to mention that Yan Jinyu was just an educated girl who grew up in a rural orphanage, even if Yan Jinyu grew up in the Yan Family, she wasn’t qualified to be her opponent. It was even more impossible for her to stop her from marrying into the Yin Family! Even if Yan Jinyu was very brave and had some ability that she hadn’t found out yet! Yan Jinyu’s gaze swept past Qin Bailu and landed on Qiu Jian, who was instinctively pushing her wheelchair a few steps back, and smiled. “Miss Qiu, I trust you’ve been well since we last met. Are your injuries healed?” “Oh, it looks like you’ve almost recovered. You can even be discharged and run around.” “Did I injure you too lightly back then?” “Speaking of which, I really don’t understand where Miss Qiu got the courage to appear in front of me again?” “Do you think you’re not seriously injured enough, or do you think I’m the kind of person who will let you off when we meet again?” 　 　 “Miss Qiu probably doesn’t know that I’ve always been a vengeful person. I usually don’t give anyone who has caused me trouble a second chance.” Of course, that didn’t include the Yan Family’s members. She had given the Yan Family’s members many chances. However, the Yan Family was related to her by blood. What did Qiu Jian have? “Also, who gave you the courage to directly come to Yin Jiujin’s territory? I can’t figure that out either!” Even she had been a little wary of Yin Jiujin in the past, but the Qiu Family actually dared to come to the Empire Group directly. With their brains, it was no wonder that they had brought up a brainless daughter like Qiu Jian. If it were someone else who had some brains, they wouldn’t dare to look for her trouble again after they saw her show that trick in the underground racing arena, such as Luo Yikun. Qiu Jian was actually not taught a lesson after suffering such serious injuries… “Aren’t you guys afraid of infuriating Yin Jiujin? Could it be that in your opinion, the explanation Yin Jiujin wants is to come and apologize? Even if it’s true, do you think Yin Jiujin will be happy to find you all coming to the Empire Building in such a grand manner? Or is it…” “Yin Jiujin has been keeping a low profile for too long. Have you all forgotten how he used to do things?” Other than Qin Bailu, a total of six people from the Qiu Family, including Qiu Cheng and Qiu Jian, came. 　 　 Not to mention Yin Jiujin, even Yan Jinyu was very unhappy when she saw this scene. So many of them came. Were they here to apologize or to fight? They even came straight to Yin Jiujin’s company! Clearly, even if the Qiu Family was afraid of Yin Jiujin, Yin Jiujin had mostly stayed in North City all these years. Even though his prestige was still in the capital, many people had only heard of his name and deeds, but they had never directly experienced how ruthless his methods were. The Qiu Family belonged to this category. If it were any other family, they wouldn’t dare to be like the Qiu Family. Yin Jiujin had already asked Min Ting to send a message to Qin Bailu for a few days before the Qiu Family gave them an explanation. It was even such a stupid “apology”. When Yan Jinyu said that, everyone in the Qiu Family was terrified. However, the people from the Qiu Family didn’t have any direct understanding of Yin Jiujin’s ruthlessness. Qiu Jian and Qin Bailu were different. Qin Bailu, who had designs on Yin Jiujin, naturally investigated Yin Jiujin’s matter. Although she couldn’t find anything deeper, she could find out what many people in the capital knew. It was precisely those matters that made others so afraid of Yin Jiujin. Qiu Jian often followed Qin Bailu, so she naturally knew a lot of things. This was also the reason why she repeatedly tried to stop Qiu Cheng and the others from coming to the Empire Building to look for Yin Jiujin. 　 　 Qin Bailu didn’t care. Anyway, she was here to “deliver something.” Even if the Qiu Family angered Master Nine, it wouldn’t affect her. If the Qiu Family didn’t anger Master Nine, it would be more beneficial for her. After all, she would be fine no matter what. Naturally, she ignored Qiu Jian, who had advised them not to come to the Empire Building directly. However, after hearing Yan Jinyu’s words, Qin Bailu looked at her and her eyes darkened. “Uncle Qiu and the others came to North City this time to apologize at Master Nine’s request. Isn’t an apology more sincere in person? Uncle Qiu doesn’t have Master Nine’s contact number, so he came to the Empire Group directly. Why are you so overbearing, Eldest Miss Yan?” Yan Jinyu turned her gaze to her and her smile remained unchanged, “Overbearing? Am I not telling the truth? Also, Brother Nine wants the Qiu Family to give an explanation, not a verbal apology from the Qiu Family. Don’t be mistaken about this, Second Miss Qin.” “Brother Nine personally said that he wanted an explanation. Go and ask around. Who would be like the Qiu Family and think that an apology would be enough?” “Furthermore, do you guys look like you are here to apologize to Yin Jiujin by coming in such a big group?” Yan Jinyu glanced at their empty hands and sneered, “You came to apologize empty-handed without even an apology gift. This is the first time I’ve seen such an apology.” “Forget it about apologizing without an apology gift first. Did you get the wrong person to apologize to? It seems like Miss Qiu had offended me and not Yin Jiujin.” “Or do I look like I am very easy to bully?” Yan Jinyu looked at Qiu Jian, whose expression had changed. “Perhaps, Miss Qiu feels that what I said back then was a joke?” “I told you, I don’t always have that kind of accuracy to just happen to keep you alive.” Qiu Jian’s pupils constricted when she met her smiling eyes. Yan Jinyu actually… actually… Their lives were in her hands! How terrifying was this! She suddenly regretted not stopping her father and the rest of the Qiu Family from coming to North City to apologize. At this moment, she clearly realized that she didn’t want to apologize to Yan Jinyu. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to apologize, but she didn’t dare to face Yan Jinyu from the bottom of her heart! “I…” Just as she was about to speak, Yan Jinyu interrupted with a light smile, “There’s no need to say anything unnecessary. Initially, if you guys were sensible and took the initiative to disappear, don’t come and show your presence in front of me again, I won’t pursue the matter anymore since I’ve already returned it on the spot when Miss Qiu specially came to North City to find trouble with me previously. However…” Looking at the group of people with stiff expressions, Yan Jinyu continued, “Yet, you all want to make your presence known so badly. If I don’t do anything, won’t I be letting you all down?” 　 　 “It’s time for the Qiu Family to disappear from the capital.” Yan Jinyu, an innocent and harmless 18-year-old girl, made such a domineering CEO’s statement seem a little funny. However, at that moment, Qin Bailu, who was watching, did not find it funny. Her heart sank. Not everyone could make the Qiu Family disappear from the capital. However, Yan Jinyu said it so casually. What exactly did she have to rely on? Did she really have something to rely on? Or did she think that Master Nine would make a move to make the Qiu Family disappear for her? No matter what, Yan Jinyu was getting more and more worthy of attention. The people from the Qiu Family were completely stunned on the spot. Even the two receptionists standing there were shocked. Why did they have the feeling that Master Nine’s fiancée was a hidden big shot? It must be their imagination. Miss Yu probably only said that because she had Master Nine as her backer. “What do you mean by that?!” Qiu Jian was so agitated that she wanted to stand up from the wheelchair. However, she was covered in injuries and her hands and feet were covered in plaster. She didn’t manage to stand up and her wounds were torn open. She gritted her teeth in pain. Yan Jinyu ignored her and looked at Qin Bailu, “Second Missy of the Qin Family?” “Yan Jin…” Seeing that she was ignoring her, Qiu Jian was so anxious that she wanted to speak again. Yan Jinyu glanced over calmly, and her words were stuck in her throat. Fear! Extreme fear! She didn’t know what a murderous gaze was like, but just now, she felt that she saw killing intent in Yan Jinyu’s eyes! It was as if she would die on the spot if she said another word! W-What a joke?! In today’s society, who dared to kill someone in public?! However, she clearly… Yan Jinyu’s gaze made her shiver when she looked at her. Feeling that strong killing intent, it didn’t matter if it was real or an illusion. At least at this moment, she did not dare to speak again. Was Qiu Jian the only one who sensed Yan Jinyu’s killing intent? Of course not.
