The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 69: Where Are We Going?

Wasn’t Yan Jinyu’s friend also called “Little Rain”?

Was Huo Siyu and Yan Jinyu’s friend the same person?

No, it shouldn’t be. She heard that Huo Siyu had been living in Country F all these years while Yan Jinyu grew up in an orphanage in a small town in the country. How could they have crossed paths?

However, did Yan Jinyu with such formidable skills, really grow up in an orphanage?

She knew that was impossible.

If Huo Siyu was really Yan Jinyu’s former friend, then perhaps Yan Jinyu wasn’t the only one. Huo Siyu shouldn’t be as simple as she looked either.

Then, who were they?

Also, when Yan Jinyu spoke to that “Little Rain” on the phone that day, the other party had mentioned Master Nine’s opponent in the business world. It was obvious that she knew Master Nine’s opponent in the business world. Huo Siyu’s brother, the head of the Huo Family, Huo Xuan, seemed to be at odds with Master Nine in the business world.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Huo Siyu and Yan Jinyu’s friend, “Little Rain”, were the same person.

Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu were very sharp. How could they not notice Yan Jinyun sizing them up like this?

Yan Jinyu’s expression was normal, while Huo Siyu’s smile faded slightly. Then, she forced a smile and looked at Yan Jinyun. However, this smile was not as sincere as when she was facing Yan Jinyu earlier. “This is?”

Before Yan Jinyu returned to North City, the three people who had risked their lives with her, had investigated the Yan Family in detail. All three of them had a complete set of information on everyone in the Yan Family. Of course, it was impossible for Huo Siyu to not know Yan Jinyun’s identity.

With Yan Jinyu here, she would have to interact with Yan Jinyun in the future. That was why Huo Siyu asked.

However, although she looked friendly, her tone was actually not that good. Compared to when she was talking to Yan Jinyu earlier, she was a little less sincere and more distant…

There was even something else.

What was that?

Yan Jinyun couldn’t figure it out at all.

She just felt that Huo Siyu’s attitude towards her was very strange.

Huo Siyu’s attitude towards her was naturally strange, or rather, unkind. In Huo Siyu’s eyes, Yan Jinyun was the same as Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya, who treated Yan Jinyu badly.

“This is my younger twin sister, Yan Jinyun.” Yan Jinyu answered.

Huo Siyu was slightly surprised.

With their years of tacit understanding, she naturally understood what Yan Jinyu meant when she said that. It was precisely because she understood that she was surprised.

Beauty Yu seemed to like her sister…

But that was good.

“So it’s Second Miss Yan. Nice to meet you.”

Yan Jinyun frowned. Why did she feel like Huo Siyu’s attitude towards her had changed drastically? Was it her imagination?

She smiled coldly and politely. “Miss Huo, nice to meet you.”

Yan Jinyun wasn’t stupid either. When Yin Jiujin introduced her, he didn’t say “Second Missy of the Huo Family” but “Miss Huo.” Of course, she wouldn’t directly call Huo Siyu “Second Missy Huo”. Although it was just a form of address, it was hard to guarantee that Huo Siyu wouldn’t mind.

“Second Young Master Yin,” Yan Ruyu, who had been silently watching the few people interact, spoke with a complicated expression.

She took the initiative to greet Yin Jiujin.

Yin Jiujin retracted his gaze that was sizing up Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu. He raised his eyes and looked over. His gaze was deep, and no one could tell if he was happy or angry. He nodded slightly as a response.

Yin Jiujin was Yin Jiujin after all. Even though she was considered an elder, he still had this attitude.

Yan Ruyu didn’t feel offended. Although she was overseas all year round, she had heard of Yin Jiujin’s famous name.

The God of Slaughter in the business world was someone that no one dared to provoke even in the capital. Responding to her greeting was already giving her a lot of face.

However, Yan Ruyu didn’t lose her aura in front of Yin Jiujin because of this. Although she didn’t treat Yin Jiujin as an ordinary junior, she still treated him as per Yan Jinyu’s Aunt. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have addressed Yin Jiujin as “Second Young Master Yin” and not “Master Nine” like the others.

The reason for this was that Yan Ruyu indeed treated Yan Jinyu as a junior, and besides the engagement between Yin Jiujin and Yan Jinyu, Yan Ruyu lived overseas all year round and had never come into contact with the business world. Therefore, even though she had heard of Yin Jiujin’s name, she didn’t know Yin Jiujin’s methods like the people who lived in the country. Naturally, she wasn’t as fearful as the others when facing Yin Jiujin.

“Second Young Master Yin shouldn’t know me. I’m Yu’er’s aunt.”

Yin Jiujin didn’t answer her and only glanced at her indifferently.

Yan Ruyu continued, “Second Young Master Yin got Yu’er back. As Yu’er’s aunt, I sincerely thank you for finding Yu’er and bringing her back.”

Upon hearing that, Yin Jiujin’s gaze was no longer as sharp as before, “There’s no need to. I simply found my fiancée.”

With Second Young Master Yin’s status, even if he didn’t acknowledge this engagement, no one would dare to say anything. However, he said that Yu’er was his fiancée. How could she not see that he wanted to acknowledge this engagement… Or rather, he wanted to acknowledge Yu’er as his fiancée.

She felt even more complicated.

On the one hand, she was happy that he had acknowledged this marriage contract, and Yu’er would have another person to rely on in the future. On the other hand, she was worried that if this marriage contract continued to be valid, Yu’er’s future would be even more difficult to walk on. The Yin Family in the capital was not an ordinary wealthy family. Not to mention whether the people in the Yin Family were easy to get along with, even those young ladies from the wealthy families who wanted the position of the Yin Family’s Second Young Madam were not easy to deal with.

Yu’er… had such a past. Her parents loved her. How could she beat those people?

As she thought, Yan Ruyu sighed heavily in her heart.

Forget it, let nature take its course. From the looks of it, Yu’er seemed to be very fond of the Yin Family’s Second Young Master too. Yu’er had lived through so many years of hardship, so as her aunt, how could she bear to break her heart again?

She hoped that Second Young Master Yin really had feelings for Yu’er and could protect her more in the future.

“Although that’s what you said, I still have to thank you. If it wasn’t for Second Young Master Yin, Yu’er would now…” When she said this, Yan Ruyu suddenly paused. She was probably afraid of hurting Yan Jinyu.

“Second Young Master Yin just returned to North City. Since Yu’er specially came to pick you up, we’ll return to the Yan Family first. I’ll have to trouble Second Young Master Yin to send Yu’er back to the Yan Family later.”

“Mm-hm.”

Yin Jiujin looked at Yan Jinyu, who was standing beside him and listening to them quietly. She still had a smile on her face, and he felt that she was really silly. They were talking about her, but she still acted like it didn’t matter to her. It was as if she didn’t understand what they were saying.

Fortunately, there was finally someone in the Yan Family who treated her better.

“Yu’er, tomorrow is your and Yun’er’s coming-of-age ceremony. There might be a lot of things to prepare at home. Come home early.” Yan Ruyu’s words had a deeper meaning.

It was the mentality of an elder. She didn’t know Yin Jiujin’s character. She was worried that Yan Jinyu would be at a disadvantage if she stayed with him for too long.

Everyone present was not stupid. How could they not understand the hidden meaning in her words?

No one dared to point it out.

Yan Jinyu didn’t show that she understood. She smiled, “Alright, Auntie, don’t worry.”

However, her aunt cared for her from the bottom of her heart. She was not someone who did not know what was good for her, so she remembered it in her heart.

As for worrying that she would be taken advantage of by Yin Jiujin’s side, she actually felt that there was no need to.

Not to mention that she wouldn’t be at a disadvantage even if she were to fight Yin Jiujin, she trusted Yin Jiujin completely.

This was the fiancé she had acknowledged.

Although Yan Ruyu was still worried, she could only do this for now. She said to Yan Jinyun, “Yun’er, let’s go.”

“…Alright.” Yan Jinyun glanced at Yan Jinyu before glancing at Huo Siyu.

Even though she no longer had that kind of feelings for Master Nine, she still didn’t dare to directly meet Master Nine’s eyes that were filled with a dark aura.

“I’m leaving first. If you don’t have time to try on another gown, you don’t have to go. I’ll bring your gown back,” she said to Yan Jinyu.

Yan Jinyu chuckled, “Alright, thank you for your hard work, Yun’er.”

After they left with complicated feelings, Huo Siyu waved her phone and said, “I’ll make a move first. The person my brother sent to pick me up has arrived.”

“By the way, Beauty Yu, I heard from your aunt that tomorrow is your coming-of-age ceremony. Do you mind giving me an invitation to your birthday party?”

“Of course. I’ll get Brother Nine to send it to you later.” As the main character of the banquet, she also had a few invitations on her. However, it wasn’t from Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya. They didn’t know if they had forgotten or felt that she didn’t have anyone to invite, or if they simply avoided her because she had made things clear that night and didn’t mention the invitation to her.

The five invitation cards in her hand were given to her by Yan Jinyun. She asked her to write the name of the person she wanted to invite on the invitation card before sending it to the person.

Of the five invitations, she had written names on three of them.

One was obviously for Yin Jiujin, and the other two were for Huo Siyu and Feng Chen.

She had already given Feng Yuan Feng Chen’s invitation a few days ago, and the other invitations were currently in her sling bag. However, she couldn’t just hand over the invitation card with the words “Huo Siyu” written on it in front of Yin Jiujin.

Before this, she and Xiaoyu were still “strangers”.

“Alright, I’ll wait for your invitation. I’ll leave first. See you later.” She actually didn’t want to leave. She hadn’t seen Beauty Yu for a year, but…

Looking at the imposing Yin Jiujin, Huo Siyu sighed inwardly.

Yin Jiujin wasn’t someone who was easily fooled. If she were to follow them, she was really afraid that she would accidentally give herself away in front of him.

Forget it, she would wait a little longer. Anyway, she had applied for a week’s leave from school and still had to stay in North City for a few days.

Speaking of asking for leave, her brother actually applied for leave for her without asking anything when he heard that she was coming to North City to play. He even arranged a guide for her.

In fact, he was more like a personal assistant than a guide.

Her meals and accommodations for the past few days… If she didn’t have any special arrangements, even if she had to walk, this guide would arrange everything for her.

Huo Siyu sighed again.

Her brother really cared about her, but she…

She had once been stabbed in the back by the person closest to her. If Beauty Yu had not saved her in time and handed the severely injured her to Brother Feng for treatment, her life would probably…

It was difficult for her to get close to someone now.

Qin Hao was an exception because after the Huo Family brought her back, she was drugged and locked in a room with a man at the banquet that was held for her. It was Qin Hao who knocked on the door and saved her. After he carried her away, he only invited a doctor for her and had no intention of touching her. Even though she had provoked him a lot after taking the medicine, he still looked like a gentleman.

Even so, he said he would fulfill their engagement.

She knew that he was thinking for her. After all, so many people at the banquet had witnessed him taking her away after she was drugged. If he said that they were innocent, no one would believe him.

She felt that Qin Hao had really lived up to his identity as a soldier. He was so upright that he had to take responsibility for her reputation even though he was the one who saved her.

Even though she still could not understand why Qin Hao had carried her out of the Huo Family and not invited the doctor to the Huo Family.

Of course, she had asked about that after the incident. Qin Hao only said that her brother’s way of handling things was rather frightening, and he was afraid that she would be frightened if she stayed in the Huo Family.

There seemed to be nothing wrong with this statement. Qin Hao’s expression and tone did not seem to be lying, so she did not suspect anything.

Qin Hao was right. She heard that her brother personally crippled the man and the two servants of the Huo Family that night.

That man was not innocent either. He was not drugged like her. He really had evil thoughts for her.

Actually, even if Qin Hao did not appear, she would not have really fallen for it. It was just a little medicine, so how could it do anything to her? The reason why she pretended to fall for it was only to find out who had done it to her. She had wanted to capture and torture the man when he pounced on her to find out who the mastermind was, but Qin Hao appeared.

Although it was an act, she had really swallowed the medicine in order to make it realistic. Hence, she still had the symptoms that she should have.

However, she could totally control it. Even seducing Qin Hao, her nominal fiancé, was done on a spur of the moment to make it seem real. Otherwise, how could such a strong medicine be controlled just by watching a doctor soak in cold water?

Fortunately, she did not really catch that man and interrogate him about who wanted to do it to her. Because even if her brother crippled that man in the end, he confessed that he only had done it on his own accord and bribed the servants to drug her wine.

If she really caught that man and interrogated him, she might expose herself.

When her brother brought her back to the Huo Family, she told them that she had not been living a life of killing all these years. Instead, she told them she had been adopted by an ordinary couple in Country F and had been living in Country F all these years. After that couple had unfortunately died in a fire, she had returned home.

On the other hand, she did not know if they believed the results her brother got from that man. Anyway, she did not believe it.

However, not long after that, she left the Huo Family and went to the capital to attend university. She didn’t have the chance to investigate further, but even so, she could already guess who did it to her.

She was a smart person who knew that she could kill someone without leaving any traces. Unfortunately, she was still a small fry to her.

She was mostly in the capital now, and she rarely met that person when she returned to South City. However, she did not find a chance to teach that person a lesson. Moreover, that person was someone who liked to pretend to be aggrieved and pretend to be pitiful. The Huo Family liked that person very much, and if she attacked without finding any conclusive evidence, she would be the one to suffer.

However, she was not in a hurry. As long as that person was still causing trouble, she would always have a chance.

“See you later,” Yan Jinyu replied with a smile.

Huo Siyu retracted her thoughts and waved at them before turning around to leave.

When she suddenly thought of these things and how well Huo Xuan treated her, she couldn’t help but feel complicated.

However, Yan Jinyu had realized it even if she hid it very well.

Actually, it wasn’t that Yan Jinyu didn’t sense the change in Huo Siyu’s emotions in that instant. It was just that in this situation, she only thought that Huo Siyu had specially rushed to North City, but she was unhappy that Yin Jiujin was present and couldn’t catch up properly.

Seeing that everyone had left and only the three of them were left, Lin Zimu spoke at the right time, “Boss, are we going back to the company or to Mount Jing?” Cheng Lin drove the car and waited outside the airport.

The company referred to the Empire Group. It was an entire building, known as the Empire Building in North City.

North City was indeed Yin Jiujin’s headquarters. The headquarters of the Empire Group were all here. However, in the past two years, Yin Jiujin had slowly shifted his focus to the capital.

He was the Second Young Master of the Yin Family, so he had to return to the capital in the end.

Mount Jing was Yin Jiujin’s residence in North City.

Yin Jiujin didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he turned his gaze to Yan Jinyu.

He had not returned to North City for two months. When he returned, he wanted to go to the company first, but he did not expect the young lady to pick him up.

Since the young lady had already appeared in front of him, he naturally wouldn’t send her back so quickly. The young lady had just arrived in North City not long ago, and she would probably feel uncomfortable if he brought her to the company. Moreover, they could have lunch in a while at this time. It was fine if he didn’t eat two meals. The young lady was still growing and was so thin…

“To Mount Jing.”

Yan Jinyu didn’t care what Yin Jiujin was thinking, nor did she want to probe further.

Since she came to pick him up, she naturally wanted to spend more time with him.

She knew about Mount Jing. Yin Jiujin’s residence in North City. Most of the mountain was said to belong to Yin Jiujin. She had long wanted to take a look.

However, Yin Jiujin saw that she didn’t care where he would take her.

With her silly look, he was afraid that she would suffer without knowing.

She trusted others so easily. He should watch her closely in the future and not let her be deceived.
