Chapter 549: Meeting With Jinyun

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Jinyu turned back and saw not one person, but a few.

The first person was Lind Jones.

Yan Jinyu didn’t expect Lind Jones to attend her engagement party either.

She didn’t send an invitation to Lind Jones, nor did Yin Jiujin.

However, with Lind Jones’s ability, he had plenty of ways to attend this engagement party.

Furthermore, Yuan Xi was beside him.

Oh, other than Yuan Xi, there was also a girl.

Yan Jinyu had seen the girl before. She was Yuan Xi’s sister, Yuan Yuan.

Other than the siblings, there were two others.

Bo Lang and Tan Shiyun.

Yan Jinyu wasn’t surprised that Bo Lang and Tan Shiyun would come. After all, she had personally given them an invitation.

It was precisely because they would actually stand “harmoniously” with Lind Jones that Yan Jinyu couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows.

Although this scene was expected, it was still a little surprising to see it.

Bo Lang’s power seemed to be snatched from Lind Jones.

The person who spoke was Lind Jones.

“What a rare guest.” Yan Jinyu smiled mysteriously.

Lind Jones’s expression didn’t change and he still smiled. “I came uninvited and would like for a drink. Eldest Miss Yan, you would welcome me, right?”

“Of course.”

“Jinyu, congratulations.”

After Tan Shiyun finished speaking, Bo Lang and Yuan Xi also spoke.

Then, Lind Jones said, “I almost forgot to congratulate Eldest Miss Yan and Master Nine.”

“Congratulations to the two of you.”

Yin Jiujin didn’t react and let Yan Jinyu handle completely.

“Thank you,” Yan Jinyu said with a faint smile.

Yan Jinyu’s expression didn’t change. She greeted them normally. Yuan Yuan felt a little strange when she saw Lind Jones and Yan Jinyu looking so familiar with each other.

It was a coincidence that she came to attend the engagement party today.

The day before yesterday, Lind Jones called her and said that her brother had a serious high fever and was hospitalized. He asked her to come over and take a look.

She didn’t believe it at first. She roughly knew who Lind Jones was.

However, Lind Jones had called her using her brother’s phone. Even if she didn’t believe him, she would still be worried if she didn’t come over to take a look personally.

She wanted to tell her family, but Lind Jones said that her brother didn’t want her family to worry and just let her come alone. If the situation was serious, it wouldn’t be too late to call her family over. If the situation wasn’t serious, her family wouldn’t have made this trip for nothing.

It was a little far from South City to the capital.

As soon as she arrived in the capital, Lind Jones called her again and said that her brother had been discharged.

This time, Lind Jones used his own number.

She found her brother’s residence. When her brother saw her, his expression was strange and she could not understand.

Her brother’s expression became even more complicated when she asked if he was feeling better.

However, she was relieved to see that her brother was fine and did not probe further.

She wanted to return to South City immediately because she had to go to school, but they made her stay.

Yes, they were making her stay. Not just her brother alone. Lind Jones, who lived with her brother, did that too.

She had also heard about the Jones Family.

She was a little afraid of Lind Jones in the past. Now that she saw him again, she was still afraid, but she was more sympathetic towards him when she thought about his power being snatched away.

After all, Lind Jones had taken care of his brother and grandfather for so many years.

Originally, she didn’t agree to them asking her to stay for a few days, but they said that they were going to attend Eldest Miss Yan and Master Nine’s engagement party in two days, so she stayed.

The reason was very simple. She was afraid that the two of them would offend the host family when they attended the banquet.

It was mainly because Lind Jones had a strange personality and they couldn’t tell what he would do in the next second.

She had to keep an eye on them, so she decided to stay for a few days before returning to South City.

Besides, she and Eldest Miss Yan had met in South City and even played together. She happened to come to the capital close to Eldest Miss Yan’s engagement party and Yuan Xi had also received an invitation, so she should be present.

Yuan Xi was the heir of the Yuan Family. To a certain extent, it was equivalent to the Yuan Family receiving an invitation. They could not be rude.

However, when he saw Lind Jones talking to Eldest Miss Yan, he seemed to be very familiar with her…

She couldn’t tell what she was feeling. Anyway, it was very strange.

She wasn’t a fool. After spending the past two days together, she clearly felt that Lind Jones treated her…

She was not exactly jealous.

She was simply curious about how Eldest Miss Yan could have interacted with Lind Jones.

When they met previously, she knew that Eldest Miss Yan was not as simple as she seemed. However, she did not probe further about the fact that Eldest Miss Yan was not simple because there was no need to. She thought that they would probably not have any interactions in the future.

Now, she was indeed a little curious about who Eldest Miss Yan was.

Also, Bo Lang and Tan Shiyun’s attitude towards Eldest Miss Yan…

They were obviously very familiar with Eldest Miss Yan too.

Speaking of Bo Lang, she thought that Lind Jones and Bo Lang would be at odds when they met again. However, they actually greeted each other calmly at the banquet just now.

Lind Jones greeted Bo Lang first.

Although Lind Jones’s tone was a little annoying, he said, “Yo, isn’t this my dear little brother? Are you here to attend Eldest Miss Yan’s engagement party too?”

Bo Lang stopped and stared at Lind Jones for a while.

He couldn’t understand Bo Lang’s expression either.

Then, Bo Lang nodded.

The few of them inexplicably walked over together.

There was no hostility. There was simply nothing.

She was puzzled.

Meeting Eldest Miss Yan again…

She had a lot of questions now.

Of course, she would not ask these questions in public. She would not even show her befuddlement in public.

She smiled and nodded at Yan Jinyu, “Eldest Miss Yan, we meet again.”

“I didn’t expect us to meet again on such an occasion. Congratulations.”

Yan Jinyu smiled faintly. “Thank you.”

Looking at Yuan Yuan, Yan Jinyu said, “There are many guests today. If we didn’t entertain you well, please forgive us.”

Yuan Yuan didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Yan Jinyu’s gaze on her was a little strange. It made her feel like she was completely seen through.

“You’re being too polite, Eldest Miss Yan.”

Yan Jinyu nodded. “Please do as you please. We’ll go over and greet a few friends.”

“Eldest Miss Yan… If you have something to do, go ahead. Don’t worry about us.” Yuan Yuan looked at Yin Jiujin. She wanted to say, “If Eldest Miss Yan and Master Nine have something to do, go ahead.” She didn’t dare to look at Yin Jiujin or chat with him, so she changed her words.

After the two of them left, Yuan Yuan asked, “Xi’er, are you very familiar with Eldest Miss Yan?”

Yuan Xi looked at her. “Why are you asking that, Sister?”

“I just think you two are quite familiar with each other. This familiarity isn’t something that can be gained after meeting a few times.”

“Eldest Miss Yan is my high school classmate. We were in the same class in the second half of the third year of high school.”

Same class?

So, that was the reason.

Yuan Yuan was slightly surprised.

However, what surprised her even more was what followed. Yuan Xi continued, “Bo Lang and Tan Shiyun were in the same class as us. Our form teacher was Jones.”

Yuan Yuan was stunned when she heard that.

She looked at them and was speechless for a long time.

So Bo Lang and Tan Shiyun were his classmates too.

However, it was understandable that they were classmates. Lind Jones was their form teacher. What was going on?

Lind Jones was just in his early twenties?

Meeting her surprised gaze, Lind Jones smiled and said, “Oh, it’s like this. Because I have a dream of teaching, I disguised myself and went to Boyu High School to teach. I became their form teacher for three years.” He was referring to Bo Lang and Tan Shiyun.

“Later on, Little Xi transferred over and happened to be in my class too.”

“I’m a guest professor at the Imperial Capital University now.”

“M-may I ask, Mr. Jones, how old are you?”

“A month older than you.”

“…” Yuan Yuan. She was 21, in her third year of university.

He was the same age as her and was already a guest professor at the Imperial Capital University!

Comparing was infuriating?

For a moment, Yuan Yuan felt very complicated.

She looked at Lind Jones strangely again.

The head of the Jones Family, who killed without batting an eyelid, had a dream of teaching?

Then, did he lose the power of the Jones Family on purpose?

It seemed possible since he and Bo Lang seemed to get along well?

Although she was feeling complicated, after Yuan Yuan heard from Lind Jones that teaching was his dream, she no longer felt the distance and fear when she looked at Lind Jones again.

“I see. Mr. Jones is really outstanding. You’re a guest professor at the Imperial Capital University at such a young age.”

“Yuanyuan, you’re flattering me.”

Yuan Yuan’s heart skipped a beat when she met Lind Jones’s smiling eyes and heard him call her “Yuan Yuan”.

To be precise, her heart beat faster every time Lind Jones called her that.

Yuan Yuan was clearly her name. She didn’t find it strange when others called her that, but when Lind Jones called her that, it felt like he was calling her by her nickname “Yuanyuan”.

She did not know if it was because his smile was too bright and his tone was too strange.

Yuan Yuan felt strange, but she didn’t realize that Lind Jones was staring at her. The smile in his eyes deepened, and she didn’t notice that Yuan Xi’s lips twitched violently.

Lind Jones suddenly looked at him…

Yuan Xi retracted his words.

She turned a blind eye.

He had interfered once when Lind Jones used his phone to call his sister and even asked her to come to the capital with the excuse that he was sick and hospitalized.

However, he was not strong enough and could not beat Lind Jones. In the end, he compromised.

Fortunately, he knew Lind Jones well. Otherwise…

Let’s leave it to fate. If Lind Jones really had the ability to capture his sister’s heart, there was no need for him to interfere.

The few of them had different thoughts, but the engagement party ended successfully.

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

The next morning, Yan Jinyu’s phone rang.

At that moment, she was still asleep. She wanted to reach for her phone on the bedside table, but Yin Jiujin beat her to it.

“Who’s calling?” she asked in a daze as she lay in Yin Jiujin’s arms.

“Your sister.”

Yan Jinyu was stunned and sobered up a little.

She looked up from his arms.

She looked at the time on her watch. It was 9:10 am.

It was later than 6am that they usually woke up.

However, they were engaged yesterday, so they definitely had to make out. With Yan Jinyun’s intelligence, she shouldn’t have called at this time.

“Do you want to answer it?” Yin Jiujin asked.

“Answer it.”

She wanted to reach for her phone, but Yin Jiujin didn’t give it to her. He answered the call and placed the phone beside her ear.

He hugged her tightly with his other hand. “Answer it like this.”

Yan Jinyun happened to hear his words on the other end of the line. She was slightly embarrassed, “Sister, did I disturb you?”

She wouldn’t dare to call Yan Jinyu in the morning next time.

“No, why did you call at this time?”

“It’s not a big deal. It’s just that there’s suddenly something urgent at the company. I have to rush back quickly. I booked a flight at 1 pm and want to meet you before I return to North City. I wonder when I’ll come to the capital again.”

Based on Yan Jinyun’s personality, if there was really something urgent, she would probably only call her and say goodbye before leaving. Now, she wanted to meet her…

Yan Jinyu asked, “Where are we meeting?”

“There’s a cafe beside the Empire Mall. Let’s meet there. I’ll go over now and send you the location when I’m there.”

“Okay.”
