Chapter 134-135

Chapter 134: The Problem of Schooling ... North City, Mount Jing. In the living room of the small villa. Aunt Cheng brought a tray over and placed a cup of tea in front of Yin Shuguo and Yin Jiujin each. As for Yan Jinyu, she placed a bottle of yogurt in front of her. After placing it down, she even smiled kindly at Yan Jinyu. Last time, Yan Jinyu drank so much yogurt in one go. Aunt Cheng knew that she was the one who drank it, but Aunt Cheng didn’t know her exact situation. She only thought that she especially favored yogurt and drank too much in a moment of greed. 　 　 Therefore, even though Yin Jiujin had privately told Aunt Cheng that she couldn’t have more than five bottles of yogurt every day when she was preparing things for her in the fridge. Aunt Cheng didn’t think too much about it. She simply thought that Yin Jiujin was afraid that Yan Jinyu would drink too much because she liked it too much, so he specially gave her a limited amount when she prepared it for her. Looking at the yogurt on the coffee table in front of her, Yan Jinyu smiled at Aunt Cheng. “Thank you, Aunt Cheng.” Yan Jinyu smiled at Yin Jiujin when she saw him glance at her. Yin Jiujin looked at her and then at the yogurt in her hand. He frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but he didn’t. Did Yan Jinyu really want to drink it? Actually, no. She opened the bottle of yogurt so quickly because Aunt Cheng cared for her. Yes, it was pure care and love that simply came from an elder to a junior. She couldn’t bear to reject her. Aunt Cheng was especially happy when she saw that Yan Jinyu opened the yogurt happily. Yin Shuguo saw their interaction. When Aunt Cheng turned to the kitchen to wash the fruits, Yin Shuguo couldn’t help but ask, “Little Yu likes to drink milk…” Fortunately, although he was old, his vision was good, so when he saw that it wasn’t milk.” Do you like to drink yogurt? ” Yan Jinyu nodded. “Yes, I like it.” After saying that, she even took a sip sweetly. 　 　 Even Yin Jiujin felt that she really liked the yoghurt with her behavior. “Since you like it, let Aunt Cheng prepare more at home. You can drink it anytime.” Hearing Yin Shuguo’s words, Yan Jinyu looked at Yin Jiujin with a faint smile. She knew that he had limited the amount for her. She had a habit of drinking it every day. The first time, she even felt that Aunt Cheng didn’t have the time to prepare them. However, no matter when she opened the fridge, she would only see five bottles of yogurt inside. She realized it after a few consecutive tries. It was just that she did not expose him. Anyway, she stayed with Yin Jiujin every day. She wouldn’t be as irritable as she was in the Yan Family. Whether she drank yogurt or not, it actually didn’t affect her much. “Alright,” Yan Jinyu said. Yin Jiujin remained silent until Yin Shuguo said to Yan Jinyu, “Since you’ve already moved to Mount Jing, don’t think about the past anymore. Be it your experiences during your disappearance or the attitude of the Yan Family towards you…” “I know. Thank you, Grandpa Yin.” Yan Jinyu smiled brightly as if she wasn’t affected at all. Even if someone mentioned it to her face, she still looked like she didn’t care. This made Yin Shuguo sigh inwardly. It was very comforting that this girl was so open-minded at such a young age. After hesitating for a moment, Yin Shuguo looked at Yan Jinyu and said, “It’s your birthday a few days ago?” 　 　 Yan Jinyu smiled and nodded, even though she didn’t know why Yin Shuguo suddenly asked this. “You’re only 18 years old?” He sounded a little emotional. “Yes.” “18 years old. It’s the age of youth. I heard that you’ve always been by Jin’er’s side as his… bodyguard?” The old man’s eyes twitched when he asked this. Yin Shuguo had naturally investigated carefully before coming to North City, so he was basically clear about Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin’s current situation. When he heard from his subordinates that Yan Jinyu was now by Yin Jiujin’s side and that she was Yin Jiujin’s bodyguard who accompanied Yin Jiujin to work every day, Yin Shuguo’s expression was indescribable. Yin Shuguo didn’t believe that a little girl like Yan Jinyu was really capable of being a bodyguard. Since she was not a bodyguard, a young girl followed the CEO of a multinational corporation to his headquarters and stayed in his office for the entire day. Most importantly, this did not happen in a day or two. It lasted for two weeks. What would happen if word got out? In order to avoid being seen as a joke, coupled with the fact that the girl was at an age where she should be learning, how could she waste her time like this? Hence, Yin Shuguo came to North City to meet them in advance. 　 　 Upon hearing Yin Shuguo’s words, Yin Jiujin couldn’t help but glance at him. Obviously, he had guessed his intentions. He hesitated for a moment and did not interrupt. “Yes,” Yan Jinyu replied calmly. She didn’t find it strange that Yin Shuguo knew about this. After all, Old Master Yin was an influential figure when he was young. It was normal for him to be able to find out about these things that weren’t considered secrets. She deserved it so calmly, so Yin Shuguo couldn’t continue on this topic. He was afraid that it would dampen the girl’s enthusiasm. Look at that bright smile. “…Little Yu, you’re quite skilled?” After pondering for a long time, Yin Shuguo spoke again. Yan Jinyu grinned, looking a little silly. “I’m average.” Yin Jiujin, who had remained silent at the side, was speechless. Even if he didn’t want to admit it, he had to admit that the girl was indeed very good at fighting. Not everyone had the ability to shatter a bullet that came flying at them in an instant, even if they had a powerful weapon. Others might not be able to, but the young lady could. If she wasn’t very skilled, what was she? To describe it as “alright” was a little humble. She was clearly such a child who was eager to showcase herself and get recognition. He thought that she would also use words like “formidable” to describe herself when facing others. He did not expect that her lack of modesty would only be shown in front of him. In other words, she was actually only anxious to show off in front of him and only wanted his approval. This was good. Only he needed to know if she was silly or smart, ordinary or outstanding. However, when Yin Shuguo heard Yan Jinyu’s reply, the corners of his lips twitched imperceptibly. The little girl was really not humble. With her small arms and legs, she could still dance, but if she had skills, could she fight? He did not believe it anyway. “You’ve practiced before?” Yan Jinyu smiled and nodded. “How many years have you been training for?” “About six or seven years.” Although she had a lot of training after that, in fact, she had basically learned all the skills she needed to learn before she was nine years old. Otherwise, she would not have become famous at the age of 10. Hence, in all seriousness, she had only trained her skills for six to seven years. Yin Shuguo fell silent. She spoke so seriously that he would have believed her if he hadn’t specially investigated her past when he found out that Jin’er had brought her back to North City. “…Did you train with somebody?” “No, I trained myself.” There were people who guided knowledge and skills, but it was only guidance. Be it knowledge or other skills, including skills, they were all learned by herself. If she didn’t want to learn it herself? The survival of the fittest was in the survival of the fittest. If one was not careful, they would lose their life. If they did not learn and train, they would only die. Yan Jinyu smiled. “However, there are many sparring partners.” 　 　 Every batch that entered Ghost Slaughter Island had a few hundred people, but only 10 people were left in the end. The others were naturally eliminated in the process of fighting. Wasn’t the one who was eliminated just a sparring partner? However, the rule on Ghost Slaughter Island was that they were not eliminated until they were dead. In other words, those so-called eliminated people were actually already dead. Although Yan Jinyu was still smiling, her smile obviously didn’t reach her eyes when she said that. Yin Jiujin frowned slightly. Sparring partners? His grandfather might not understand, but he did. “Why are you asking her this? If she’s willing to follow me around, just let her. What’s the matter with her identity? Who dares to say anything?” However, he had forgotten that he did not intend to interrupt Yin Shuguo at the beginning. Yin Jiujin’s obvious displeasure made Yin Shuguo raise his eyebrows. He had only asked a few questions as a casual chat. Was he that protective of her? Also, why was he angry for no reason? He did not ask anything that could not be asked. His second grandson’s temper was getting worse. He seemed to be getting more and more arrogant. Who dared to say anything? Uh, it seemed like no one indeed dared to say it, including his family. “I’m just asking casually. Let’s chat for a while. If you don’t want to hear it, go to the study to do your work. I’ll talk to Little Yu alone. I’ll call you when Little You is done preparing dinner.” Aunt Cheng’s surname was You. Yin Shuguo didn’t dodge when he met Yin Jiujin’s faint gaze. “Don’t say that this is your territory. You have the final say wherever you are. Mount Jing was given to you by your grandmother. Your grandmother and I have been husband and wife for our entire lives. I can be considered as half the former owner of Mount Jing.” “So, either you go upstairs and don’t disturb us now, or you sit here quietly.” Yin Jiujin glanced at him expressionlessly and then leaned lazily on the sofa. There was silence. She couldn’t be bothered. When Yin Shuguo and Yin Jiujin didn’t talk about that matter back then, they usually interacted like this. Seeing that he stopped talking, Yin Shuguo looked at Yan Jinyu in satisfaction. His expression was completely different from when he was facing Yin Jiujin. It was kind and amiable. 　 　 “Girls should have some skills. That way, they won’t be easily bullied outside.” “However, Little Yu, Jin’er isn’t short of skilled people around him. He has trained for a few years himself. He usually isn’t in any danger. You’re a girl. It’s… not appropriate for you to follow Jin’er as his bodyguard.” “You’re only 18 now. I heard that your twin sister is still in her third year of high school. Do you… want to go to school again?” When Yan Jinyu heard that, she said with a smile, “No.” “…” Yin Shuguo. “…” Yin Jiujin. He knew it. “Besides, I think it’s good to be Brother Nine’s bodyguard. There’s nothing wrong with that.” “Of course, if Grandpa Yin feels that I’m really not suitable to be Brother Nine’s bodyguard, I can stay in Mount Jing to help Brother Nine look after the house or go to Brother Nine’s company to help him. Anyway, I can do anything except go to school.” “Oh, I don’t think I have enough education to go to Brother Nine’s company to help him.” “…” The both of them again. You also know that you don’t have enough education! “In that case, it seems like I can only stay in Mount Jing to help Brother Nine look after the house. Grandpa Yin, don’t worry. I’m very good at looking after the house. With me around, I guarantee that not even a fly can fly into Mount Jing.” This was not a matter of whether she wanted to watch the house or was she able to watch over it. Besides, even without her, Mount Jing would be impenetrable. After a long while, Yin Shuguo sighed softly. “Little Yu, Grandpa Yin will tell you the truth. If you want to be with Jin’er forever, with your education, even if you get married successfully, many people will gossip about you.” “Although Jin’er didn’t officially go to school, he had obtained a double doctorate from the Imperial Capital University. You don’t want anyone to say that you’re not worthy of Jin’er, right?” The old man’s tone was not harsh. It even had a meaningful and sincere meaning. Yan Jinyu’s smile faded slightly. What she hated the most now was others saying that she wasn’t compatible with Yin Jiujin. However, before she could say anything, Yin Jiujin spoke first, “Who dares to interfere in my matters? So what if she’s worthy of me? So what if she’s not? Could it be that anyone has the ability to influence my marriage?” Hearing his words, Yin Shuguo glared at him. This brat. He was finally about to convince the girl. What was wrong with him?! Was this the main point he wanted to express? Was it? He wanted Little Yu to continue to study. Even if she couldn’t learn much, she had to at least get her graduation certificate so that no one would use her education to criticize her in the future! Although few families could compare to the status of the Yin Family, there were so many people in the world, and it wasn’t like the Yin Family could control all of them. If someone belittled Little Yu with their education background, then this brat would definitely cry then! With her junior high education level, not to mention outsiders, even the Yin Family people would probably not be able to accept her. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was the granddaughter-in-law that his wife selected, he wouldn’t have agreed for the Yin Family to marry such a pure and innocent girl who didn’t even have a basic university… a high school education as their granddaughter-in-law. Although Yin Jiujin didn’t like what Yin Shuguo said, he understood what he meant. He had already planned to send the girl to school, but it was only a matter of time. He looked at Yan Jinyu, “Although others don’t dare to nip at me, it’s only right for you to go to school at your age.” As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Jinyu suddenly stood up from the sofa and said with a look of realization, “Oh my, I forgot that Little Rain asked me to call her at this time. Grandpa Yin and Brother Nine can chat first. I’ll go upstairs to give Little Rain a call. I may take too long to talk on the phone. Aunt Cheng will prepare dinner first. You don’t have to call me. Just get Aunt Cheng to send one to my room.” Without waiting for their reaction, she turned and ran upstairs. The door closed with a bang. The grandfather and grandson duo, who had always been cold and emotionless, had complicated expressions. *** Chapter 135: Just This Once ... After a long while, Yin Shuguo asked uncertainly, “Is she really going to make a call?” Yin Jiujin gave him a faint look. “…” Yin Shuguo was speechless. Was this girl deliberately avoiding the topic of school? “Is a school that scary? I’m not asking her to get first place. I’m just asking her to go through the motions to get a diploma.” “According to Little Yu’s past information, she stopped going to school after graduating from junior high school. However, before that, her results seemed to be not bad either. It’s said that she’s in the middle of the class. Why is she so against going to school? Could it be that she’s afraid that she can’t keep up?” 　 　 Yin Jiujin picked up the tea on the coffee table and took a sip. He glanced at Yin Shuguo and didn’t say a word. Moderate grades? All the information they could find about the girl’s past was fake, let alone information like her grades. As for not being able to keep up? He didn’t think that the number one killer in the killer world was an ignorant person. Moreover, he believed that even if she did not have any education, no one would dare to say anything when they were together in the future. Taking a step back, even if someone really said unpleasant things behind her back or provoked her, even if she didn’t make a move, he would still teach those people a lesson. After all, the young lady wouldn’t lose out. The reason why he wanted the young lady to go to school was that he thought that she most probably had never led a normal girl’s life all these years. He wanted her to go to school like the others of her age. After school, she could go shopping with the girls of her age that she had made friends with. Occasionally, she could go on a vacation with them. That was all. “I’m asking you a question!” Seeing that he ignored him, Yin Shuguo couldn’t help but say angrily, “Forget it. You don’t even worry about your girl. Why should I worry on your behalf!” “Who’s the Little Rain that Little Yu is talking about? The daughter of the Huo Family who came to North City with you recently?” Yin Shuguo knew that Huo Siyu had come to North City and Qin Hao had asked Yin Jiujin to help take care of her. Later on, Huo Siyu went to the Yan Family to attend a birthday party and then followed her to Mount Jing to celebrate Yan Jinyu’s birthday. 　 　 Even if he didn’t investigate in detail, he knew that Huo Siyu must have already known Yan Jinyu. Yin Jiujin nodded and finally answered, “Yes.” “You introduced them to each other?” Yin Jiujin fell silent before nodding. He was the one who introduced the two of them to each other, but they had actually known each other for a long time before that and were on very good terms. “It’s good to introduce them to each other. Since you’re interested in Little Yu, she won’t be able to avoid this circle in the future. The daughter of the Huo Family in South City will eventually marry into the Qin Family. It’s good for Little Yu to be on good terms with her.” “However, it’s not a good thing for Little Yu to reject going to school so much. Persuade her properly. Let’s not talk about others for now, but your mother…” At this point, Yin Jiujin suddenly put down his teacup and stood up. Yin Shuguo stopped speaking. He sighed inwardly. Forget it. It wasn’t like he didn’t know what his second grandson was like. What he hated the most was them meddling in his affairs. “You’ve always had your own ideas. I believe you’ll settle the matter yourself, so I won’t interfere anymore. Go and call Little Yu down. Since your grandmother is good friends with her grandmother and they’re no longer around, even without this engagement, I’ll still treat Little Yu like my own biological granddaughter. She only came back after being missing for many years and met such a pair of parents. I’m afraid she hasn’t even eaten a real family reunion meal. Since I’ve come to Mount Jing, we should eat dinner together.” 　 　 Yin Shuguo wasn’t a talkative person. Or rather, his personality when he was young was actually similar to Yin Jiujin’s now. However, he always spoke more when he was with Yin Jiujin. Yin Jiujin looked at him and said, “Thank you, Grandfather.” Yin Shuguo suddenly felt a little stifled. His second grandson seemed to have become more humane because of Little Yu. “Grandfather, you don’t have to interfere with Little Yu’s school matters. I’ll settle it. As for my mother’s side, Grandfather, help me pass it on to her when you return to the capital. It’s best that she doesn’t interfere with Little Yu’s matters, nor do meaningless things behind my back. Other than myself, no one else can decide who I marry.” “Jin’er, what we did back then was also for…” Yin Jiujin looked over coldly and interrupted him, “Grandfather, don’t say anything about for my own good. Back then, I told you not to ask about that matter from the beginning. I have my own judgment and my own plans.” Yin Shuguo moved his lips. “…In the end, didn’t we follow your wishes and didn’t interfere?” “Yes, because I threatened you all,” Yin Jiujin said calmly. “Before that, I’ve reminded you all three times to ignore that matter.” Yin Shuguo was silent. Yes, he had reminded them three times. Although it was a reminder, it was more like a request. Jin’er, who had found his life goal when he was eight years old, had given up on living a comfortable life and joined the army. He had also made a name for himself in the army. His background and excellence determined that he was destined to be arrogant. However, he, who was so arrogant, had asked them three times. And they still didn’t agree after three attempts. 　 　 They always felt that their actions were the best for him. That was why he gradually drifted away from them. He left the capital and came to North City when he was 16 years old. Even if he often returned to the capital because of business, he would only return to the Yin Family once a year. He had become abstruse and ruthless, and his temperament had become even more unfathomable. Jin’er was the one who was hurt the most in that incident. However, at that time, as his family, not only did they not stand by his side to support him, they even did things that he disapproved of under the pretext of for his own good. “I’ll only remind you once this time.” In other words, regarding Little Yu, they no longer had three more chances like they had many years ago? Once they committed one crime, there would be no possibility of Jin’er’s relationship with them being eased up? Or it might get even worse? Yin Shuguo heaved a sigh of relief at that thought. The others in the Yin Family, including him, didn’t dare to interfere in Jin’er’s matters again after experiencing that once. Only Jin’er’s mother… It seemed like he had to remind her properly when he returned to the capital this time. They shouldn’t end up like strangers. It was even possible that Jin’er wouldn’t return to the Yin Family for the rest of his life. “I’ll go upstairs to call Little Yu first.” After saying that, he left. He went upstairs and went straight to Yan Jinyu’s room. After knocking twice, the young lady’s clear voice came from inside, “The door isn’t locked.” Yin Jiujin pushed the door open. The young lady wasn’t on the phone. Instead, she was sitting at the desk and playing games on her phone. The girl looked at him and smiled sweetly. “Brother Nine.” She called out to him with such a sweet smile. At that instant, Yin Jiujin’s heart skipped a beat. The earlier familiar frustration had dissipated. He walked towards her slowly. The stool in front of her desk wasn’t leaning against the backrest. Yin Jiujin walked over and bent down to hug her from behind. He leaned his chin on her shoulder and kissed her cheek. “Didn’t you say you need to call?” Yan Jinyu glared at him angrily, “Brother Nine, you know that I’m looking for an excuse to walk away.” Her eyes were clearly not looking at her phone, but her hands were still on the phone as she quickly played games. “Do you really not want to go to school that much?” As he spoke, his lips would always caress her ear. Yan Jinyu couldn’t help but shrug. With a big move, the game ended and she placed the phone with a black screen on the desk. “Brother Nine, you know that I don’t have to go to school at all. I’ve learned everything that needs to be learned.” “I didn’t ask you to go and learn anything.” “Huh?” Yan Jinyu tilted her head and looked at him, puzzled. Looking at her large blinking eyes, which were round and very cute, Yin Jiujin’s handsome face darkened. “We’ll talk about this later.” Then, he raised her chin and kissed her lips. The kiss lasted for a long time. After they were done, Yin Jiujin directly carried Yan Jinyu up. He sat on the stool that she was originally sitting on and placed her on his lap. Now, Yan Jinyu didn’t have to spend so much effort to tilt her head up like earlier to look at him. 　 　 “What should I do to make you go willingly?” Yin Jiujin asked. Yan Jinyu shook her head fiercely. “Nothing will make me willing.” “Brother Nine, I really don’t want to go to school. Really!” “Even if I’m not asking you to study and only asking you to experience school life and make friends of your own age, you’re not going?” Yan Jinyu was stunned and looked at him in a daze. “Brother Nine, you…” She lowered her eyes slightly and then raised them again with a smile. “I’m not going. I don’t want to experience school life, nor do I need to make friends of my age. I just want to stay by your side and protect you.” She only had a few friends. As for experiencing school life… It had never happened in the past, so it seemed meaningless now. She had long passed the time when she was young and carefree… No, it should be said that ever since she had her memories, she had never experienced such a time. And she wasn’t even one year old when she had memories. That was commonly known as early wisdom. Thinking about it this way, the innocent school environment seemed to be even more unsuitable for her. “Don’t you like that I’m always by your side, Brother Nine? Do you find me annoying?” “No,” Yin Jiujin hurriedly said. “I can’t be happier if you stay by my side. Why would I find you annoying?” “Forget it. Since you don’t want to go, let’s talk about this later. Aunt Cheng should have prepared the dinner. Shall we go down and eat?” “But Grandpa Yin…” “Grandfather won’t interfere in this matter anymore. There’s no need to worry about that.” Yan Jinyu’s eyes lit up, “Really?” Seeing her surprised look, Yin Jiujin couldn’t help but smile and nod. “Yes.” “Brother Nine, how did you do that?” Old Master Yin clearly still looked like he wanted to send her to school immediately. “…Grandfather isn’t an unreasonable person. I said that your foundation is poor, so you won’t be able to keep up even if you go to school. Before I send you to school, I have to hire a few tutors for you.” Yin Jiujin’s eyes flashed with emotions but it happened too quickly, so Yan Jinyu didn’t manage to catch it. “Huh? Tutors?” “Of course it’s a joke. Even if you really need a tutor, we don’t have to look for one. I can teach you.” Hearing that, Yan Jinyu heaved a sigh of relief. It was not that she was afraid of those tutors, but she really hated being controlled. It would be fine if it was someone else who had found her the tutor. However, if it was Yin Jiujin who had personally gotten her a tutor, she really couldn’t ignore him. After all, it was Yin Jiujin’s kind intentions. “That’s true. Grandpa Yin just said that Brother Nine has a double degree doctorate from the Imperial Capital University.” Yan Jinyu paused. “Brother Nine, I really don’t have any education. I don’t even have the junior high school graduation that you think I have. In the future, I’ll return to the capital with you. Aren’t you afraid that someone will laugh at you because you have a fiancée who doesn’t have any education?”
