Chapter 288: Annoyed Again And Again

“I won’t beat around the bush. I won’t interfere with whatever you guys want to do, but don’t implicate me. I’m cold-blooded and cherish my life.”

He looked at Min Sisi and sneered, “It’s fine if you want to provoke someone you can’t afford to provoke, but you actually want to use Huo Xuan. Do you think you don’t have enough enemies?”

“What about making use of Huo Xuan?” Yu Quan arrived late and his vision was blocked when he walked over. He didn’t see Min Sisi being choked by Huo Xuan.

To Min Sisi, that was humiliation. She didn’t want to talk about it. She gave Luo Yikun an unfriendly look and said, “Nothing.”

Since she said that it was nothing, Yu Quan naturally wouldn’t ask further.

Yu Quan didn’t ask further, but Min Sisi had something to ask.

Today, Yu Quan was the one who told Min Sisi that Qin Bailu was going to come to expose that she was not the daughter of the Min Family.

She looked at Yu Quan, “G-Grandpa Yu, do you know the background of Yan Jinyu, Min Rufeng, and the others?” She wanted to call out his name directly, but she changed her words when she saw Luo Yikun present.

Luo Yikun was also very curious about whether Yu Quan knew about Yan Jinyu and the others.

Actually, he was also very shocked when he saw them make a move and guessed their identities.

However, he did not show it.

Luo Qiu asked in surprise. He only said that he didn’t know and didn’t care much.

Yu Quan’s gaze paused for a moment before he shook his head with a serious expression. “I don’t know.”

“Since we don’t know their background for the time being, Missy, let’s wait for Sir’s instructions first.”

Min Sisi didn’t believe him, but on second thought, Yu Quan didn’t seem to have the need to lie to her. She only frowned and didn’t ask further.

However, Luo Yikun didn’t believe Yu Quan’s words at all.

He saw Yu Quan hesitate when he answered Min Sisi.

“I know what to do!”

“What about the masked man who appeared tonight? Does Grandpa Yu know the other party’s identity?”

“I don’t know.” Those words stopped Min Sisi from asking further.

She wanted to ask if they were part of them.

“Grandpa Yu really doesn’t know?”

“I don’t know,” Yu Quan looked at Min Sisi and said seriously.

This made Min Sisi even more puzzled.

The masked man had clearly mentioned the person in the recording and she felt that he was on her side. But now, Yu Quan said…

She didn’t know if she should trust her intuition or Yu Quan.

Yu Quan had no reason to lie to her.

“Alright, I won’t ask that. Grandpa Yu should know… why that person insisted on me marrying into the Yin Family, right?”

“What else could it be? Of course, it’s for Missy’s sake.”

“The Yin Family has an outstanding status. If Missy marries into the Yin Family with the Min Family’s support, you will become the most respected woman in the capital.”

Luo Yikun almost couldn’t help but laugh when he heard that.

To think that Min Sisi even nodded seriously with a look of trust.

The Yin Family indeed had an outstanding status, but they had long planned it. He wasn’t sure how early it was, but he was sure that it wouldn’t be later than when Eldest Miss Yan met the kidnappers back then.

At that time, although the Yin Family was also one of the three top families in the capital, their status was not as high as now.

The Yin Family now had an outstanding status because of Master Nine.

Back then, why didn’t that person let Min Sisi marry into the Qin Family or the Huo Family in South City? Why did he want her to marry into the Yin Family?

Master Nine was only a few years old at that time. He couldn’t be targeting Master Nine then, right?

Obviously, that person had other plans.

Besides, he didn’t believe it when they said that they were helping Min Sisi plan for her future and making her the most respected woman in the capital.

They hid a lot of things from Min Sisi.

Of course, it was possible that they were protecting Min Sisi and did not want her to know too much. They treated her like a flower in a greenhouse.

However, he felt that that explanation was not very credible.

If he was really so protective of Min Sisi and had planned for so many years, how could he let Min Sisi fall to the current situation where she did not have any advantage now? He even did not show his face at such an occasion today and let Min Sisi face it alone.

After all, he didn’t see how much that person valued Min Sisi.

Perhaps he did value her in the past, but now, that person probably had more important things to do and had no time to care about Min Sisi.

“Missy, let’s return to the banquet hall first. You’re in an awkward situation in the Min Family now. If you leave the banquet hall now, you’ll probably become someone else’s topic of conversation.”

“What you have to do now is to let everyone feel that you’re very happy that you’ve completed your mission overnight after enduring humiliation for many years. You shouldn’t give people the feeling that you’ve been insulted and your status in the Min Family is no longer the same as before.”

“Even if your status in the Min Family is indeed much lower than before.”

Luo Yikun held back his laughter. Yu Quan said these words for Min Sisi’s own good, but every word poked at Min Sisi’s wound.

Min Sisi glared at Yu Quan angrily, “You don’t have to say so much. I know what to do!”

***

Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin didn’t know what happened here.

The two of them cuddled for a while. The temperature outside was low, so Yin Jiujin helped Yan Jinyu adjust the suit jacket on her shoulders and led her back to the banquet hall.

Their return inevitably attracted the attention of others.

However, the two of them didn’t care about others’ gazes.

Yin Jiujin let go of Yan Jinyu’s hand and took two steps back. He stretched out his hand gentlemanly. “Miss Yan, may I have the honor of inviting you to a dance?”

His actions made Yan Jinyu raise her eyebrows slightly. Then, she smiled faintly. “It’s my honor.” She placed her hand in his palm.

Yin Jiujin handed her suit jacket to the waiter and the two of them slid onto the dance floor.

Their presence was eye-catching.

Others were amazed, but only Min Rufeng, Xi Fengling, and Huo Siyu looked relieved.

At that moment, the few of them were also on the dance floor.

Xi Fengling said, “It’s good that Beauty Yu is like this now. It’s even better if we could live peacefully without those troublemakers.”

“That day will come,” Min Rufeng replied.

Qin Hao and Huo Siyu didn’t say anything. However, when Huo Siyu’s gaze landed on Yan Jinyu, her expression was a little complicated, making Qin Hao frown slightly.

He spun her around and used his height advantage to block her vision.

She wouldn’t pay attention to others and ignore him if she couldn’t see them.

“Brother Nine.”

“Yes?”

“Aren’t you worried that I might not know how to dance if you invite me to dance like this?”

Yin Jiujin looked down at her with a gentle and doting gaze. “Is there anything you don’t know? I thought you were omnipotent.”

Yan Jinyu glared at him. “Brother Nine, I think you’re mocking me.”

“Am I?”

“Yes!”

“Although I know a lot of things, there are also many things that I don’t. For example, I’m not good at cooking.”

“It’s fine. I’m good at it. I’ll cook for you in the future.”

Actually, other than cooking, he did not find anything that the young lady was not good at.

He was proud that the young lady was so capable, but at the same time, his heart ached for her.

It was still the same sentence. These abilities did not come out of nowhere. In order to gain these abilities, the young lady must have suffered a lot of hardships that were beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

When Yan Jinyu heard Yin Jiujin’s words, she felt sweet inside.

After that incident, the banquet ended smoothly. There were no more major problems.

After the banquet, Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin returned to the Yin Family.

Lin Zimu wasn’t with them, so Yin Jiujin drove.

Qin Jianjia and Yin Yuhan didn’t follow them either. Instead, they drove a car by themselves.

On the way, Yan Jinyu hesitated for a moment before asking, “Brother Nine, this is the second time you’ve seen the person who appeared at the banquet tonight. Is there anything you want to ask me?”

She didn’t mean anything else. She was afraid that Yin Jiujin would think that she was hiding something from him.

She didn’t like Yin Jiujin to hide something from her. Similarly, Yin Jiujin definitely didn’t like her to hide something from him either.

She was afraid that Yin Jiujin would think too much, but she hid it in her heart and didn’t say it out loud. She was seething alone.

If Yin Jiujin wanted to know, she would tell him.

Now, even she didn’t know how important Yin Jiujin was to her. However, she dared to say that if someone rushed out to threaten her and said that only one of them could live, she would definitely choose Yin Jiujin without any hesitation.

Of course, the premise was that there had to be someone who could threaten her.

To be precise, there had to be someone who could threaten her and Yin Jiujin at the same time.

There was probably no such person in this world.

She was still confident about that.

Yin Jiujin looked at her and then rubbed the top of her head. “Don’t think too much. I have nothing to ask.”

Seeing that he didn’t show any signs of anger, an unknown emotion flashed past Yan Jinyu’s eyes. She didn’t continue to be conflicted about this problem.

It was fine as long as he was not angry. As for why he was not angry, it did not matter if it was because he trusted her completely or if he had known something long ago.

“Brother Nine.”

“Yes?”

“The new year is in a few days. After the new year, we will return to North City. Little Rain will probably only stay in the capital for one day. The day after tomorrow, they will set off for South City. I want to meet Cousin again and make a plan for everyone to meet tomorrow.”

“After all, we’re in a cooperative relationship. We have to meet up to show our sincerity.”

Yin Jiujin tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “He’s a coward. He doesn’t dare to go out.”

“…” Yan Jinyu. This awkward tone.

She didn’t care if they cooperated or not. If she hadn’t seen that Yin Jiujin cared so much about Feng Yun…

She wasn’t someone who liked to poke her nose into other people’s business. She just couldn’t bear to see the person she was protecting sad.

“It’s fine. I’ll just ask him out. It’s up to him whether he wants to go or not. If he doesn’t come, just treat it as me meeting Feng and the rest for a meal alone.”

Yin Jiujin paused for a moment before saying, “I’ll accompany you to Elegant Court when we get back.”

“There’s no need to. Brother Nine, give me Cousin’s phone number. I’ll just send him a message.”

***

In the parking lot of the Min Family.

Huo Xuan said that he was feeling unwell and had left early. Qin Hao and Huo Siyu were together.

Just as he opened the door to the front passenger seat to let Huo Siyu sit in, Qin Hao was stopped by someone.

“Hao’er.”

Turning back, it was Qin Chongwen.

“What’s the matter?” Qin Hao no longer brought out his honest persona.

He frowned slightly and his eyes were sharp.

Qin Chongwen was stunned.

How long had it been since he last looked at this son seriously? Why did he feel so unfamiliar?

In his impression, Hao’er was dull and didn’t talk much. He was taciturn and did things by the book. He was very unlovable.
