Chapter 571: Not Returning To The Capital

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Little Yu’er, have you come down from the mountain?”

“Mm-hm.” Yan Jinyu lay on the bed and video-called Yin Jiujin.

This was the first time she had video-called Yin Jiujin since she arrived at Zhao Linlin’s house. It was naturally the first time Yin Jiujin had seen the guest room layout of Zhao Linlin’s house.

“Are you in your room now?”

“Yes, does Brother Nine want to see the room I’m staying in Linlin’s house?”

Without waiting for Yin Jiujin to reply, she picked up her phone and spun it around. “See? Although it’s simple, it’s very clean.”

Yin Jiujin noticed the blanket on her bed.

He knew very well that Yan Jinyu had the habit of changing the quilt cover when she stayed in the hotel. He had helped her pack her luggage, and he also knew very well that she had brought a quilt cover.

But she didn’t change it.

The rough blanket was not as comfortable as the one he had specially picked for her.

However, she still did not change it.

What a kind girl.

She must not want her classmates and classmates’ parents to think too much.

“Not bad,” Yin Jiujin said.

“Stand up and move your phone further away. I want to see if you’re injured.”

Yan Jinyu washed up casually and changed her clothes. Her hair was let loose now.

She stood up and did as she was told.

“Brother Nine, take a good look. I’m really not injured.”

“I’m very obedient. I’m not injured.” Yin Jiujin felt relieved.

“I already said that I’m not injured, but you still don’t believe me. It’s not like you don’t know my skills. How can I be injured?””I already said that I’m not injured, but you still don’t believe me. It’s not like you don’t know my skills. How can I be injured?”

“Brother Nine, have you returned to the company?”

“Yes, I’m in the office.”

“Then go ahead. Linlin’s grandfather is treating her wound now and I’ll go take a look.”

“Go ahead. Remember to have lunch.”

Yan Jinyu then remembered that it was almost three in the afternoon and she had yet to have lunch.

Of course, the others didn’t have lunch either.

“I’ll remember to.”

“Jinyu bandaged it,” Zhao Linlin replied.

“That girl’s technique is not bad and she has learned Chinese medicine very well. The herbs that she found are the most suitable for your injuries. You don’t have to change them for the time being. This young man’s dislocation is also handled very well. Be it the medicine or the dressing method, they’re all closed to very experienced medical practitioners’ methods. He basically doesn’t need me to do anything. You don’t have any serious injuries on you either. You’ll be fine after resting for a while.”

“Thank you, Grandpa Zhao.”

“There’s no need to thank me. I still have to thank you. If you hadn’t saved Linlin, Linlin wouldn’t have only suffered light injuries.”

“Why is that girl from the Mo Family so evil at such a young age? Fortunately, you guys are fine. Otherwise, I would have fought the Mo Family even if I had to sacrifice these old bones!”

“Grandfather, don’t bother about Mo Qian. Sister Jinyu had taught her a lesson on the mountain just now. She’s so frightened that she’s crying for her parents. She probably won’t dare to do such a thing again in the future.”

“That little girl again?”

“Of course. If it wasn’t for Sister Jinyu, how could we have found Sister and Brother Jiang so quickly? Sister Jinyu found them first and then sent us the location. When we found Sister and Brother Jiang, Sister Jinyu had already bandaged their wounds and waited for us for a long time.”

“I heard from your uncles that Jinyu slapped Mo Qian?” Mother Zhao asked.

“Yes, she was beaten up very badly. It was a total of four slaps. Sister Jinyu is also a martial arts practitioner and is very strong. Mo Qian’s face will probably take half a month to recover.”

“Jinyu is also fast. Otherwise, I would have rushed over and slapped Mo Qian.”

“…” Mother Zhao and Old Master Zhao.

They felt a little complicated.

They felt complicated that Yan Jinyu didn’t hesitate to slap Mo Qian to vent Zhao Linlin’s anger, but they also felt complicated by their strange emotions at this moment.

They actually felt very happy after hearing Zhao Qian’s words.

Mo Qian was a junior and they were elders. They were actually thinking like young people. It didn’t feel good to have such irrational hot-blooded thoughts.

“We have to thank Jinyu for this,” Mother Zhao said.

“You’re welcome, Auntie. Linlin is my friend.” Yan Jinyu walked over.

“Jinyu is here? Xuanxuan said that you went to change your clothes just now, so she didn’t have the time to ask you if you’re injured? If you are, you have to apply medicine in time. Auntie really doesn’t know how you found Linlin and Little You in such a dense forest.”

“I’m not injured. I’m quite skilled and lucky. I found them just like that.”

“It’s good that you’re not injured. You haven’t had lunch at this time, so you should be hungry. I’ve already cooked. Let’s go over and eat now.”

“By the way, Zhao Qian, find the wheelchair that your father used when he injured his leg a few years ago and wipe it clean. Let Little You sit in it for the next few days.”

Zhao Qian left to find the wheelchair.

Jiang Xianyou wanted to stop him, but he wasn’t in time.

His plan was that since his legs were injured, it was not good to trouble the Zhao Family. He planned to go back tomorrow and he seemed to have found the inspiration for the design.

However, seeing that they were so enthusiastic and accidentally glanced at Zhao Linlin at the side, he couldn’t say that he was leaving tomorrow.

The burly men that Father Zhao had hired did not stay for lunch. They still had to work in the fields.

The practice at Zhao Linlin’s village was that the few men would definitely drink when they gathered for a meal.

Nothing could be done if they drank at this time.

Hence, they planned to come back at night.

After lunch, because Zhao Linlin and Jiang Xianyou were injured, they didn’t go out again. They carried stools and sat down in the shade of the courtyard. They played games, chatted, read, or were just in a daze.

Yan Jinyu was playing games and Qin Xuan, Chu Xiaohuan, and Yang Jun were chatting. The others would occasionally chime in a sentence or two. Zhao Qian was reading and the ones in a daze were Jiang Xianyou and Zhao Linlin.

It was normal for Zhao Qian to be reading. He was in his second year of high school and his studies were good. In addition, there were so many top students here. It was a good opportunity for him to ask all the questions that he did not know while everyone was around.

Other than Yang Jun, no matter who Zhao Qian asked, they could help him answer. Even if there was something they couldn’t answer, everyone would discuss it together.

The atmosphere was very harmonious.

“Come, eat some pears. We planted them ourselves. We have already washed them.” Mother Zhao brought over a small basin with clean pears inside.

They picked up one each, including Yan Jinyu.

The others lamented that it was indeed planted by themselves. It was really sweet. Only Yan Jinyu didn’t think so.

The fruits on Mount Jing were planted by themselves. After they arrived in the capital, most of the fruits they ate were sent over from Mount Jing.

Yan Jinyu held the pear in one hand and played games on her phone with the other.

Yang Jun happened to see this scene and tsk inwardly.

She was indeed a big shot who was unscathed even when she jumped off a cliff. She slapped people in public and could even play games so well with one hand.

Actually, many people present were very curious about Yan Jinyu, including Qin Xuan and Chu Xiaohuan.

This was the first time they had seen Yan Jinyu’s superb skills.

However, everyone tacitly did not ask further.

“By the way, Linlin, does your family have a way to temporarily keep the herbs fresh? I just need to keep them for a few days. I’ll bring them along when I go back. As long as they’re barely fresh will do.” Yan Jinyu was playing games when she suddenly thought of this.

“Yes, my grandfather likes to pick herbs. He has a small basement that specializes in storing herbs. He knows that you have to bring back the herbs you picked. I’ve already asked Zhao Qian to help you bring them to the small basement. Grandfather is cleaning and drying the herbs that I picked.”

Yan Jinyu blinked. She wasn’t very concerned about herbs, and since she could pick them again later, she was even more nonchalant. She only remembered about them now.

Fortunately, Zhao Linlin was meticulous.

“Mm-hm.”

“Jinyu, are we still going out in the afternoon?”

Just as Chu Xiaohuan finished asking, Qin Xuan said, “It’s already afternoon.” She handed her phone to her. “It’s almost five.”

“Let’s not go out today,” Yan Jinyu said. “Let’s not go up the mountain for the next few days too. Let’s just look around the village. Not only the scenery on the mountain is good.”

Qin Xuan and Chu Xiaohuan had no objections, and so did Yang Jun and Jiang Xianyou, who had a lingering fear.

“Alright, we’ll do whatever you say,” Chu Xiaohuan replied and chatted with Qin Xuan again.

They really didn’t go up the mountain for the next few days.

They only walked around the village. They had walked around the fields and even worked with the Zhao Family in the fields.

Every time they went out, Yang Jun would push Jiang Xianyou along and support him wherever the road was rough.

No one was left behind.

On the other hand, they did not see Mo Qian after almost a week. She must have been frightened.

On the 10th day after they arrived at the Zhao Family, they went up the mountain again. Other than Jiang Xianyou, who was still a little injured, the others were all there. On the way, they met Mo Qian. She looked like she had seen a ghost and turned to run as soon as she saw them.

It suited them.

They went to another mountain that they hadn’t been to before. They were also picking herbs.

The young people went to the mountains and Father Zhao and Mother Zhao also went to the fields to work. Only Old Master Zhao and Jiang Xianyou were at home.

Jiang Xianyou could already walk. However, he couldn’t go far, so he didn’t follow them up the mountain.

He was helping Old Master sun the herbs at home.

“Little You.” After spending 10 days together, everyone was familiar with each other. They were no longer as distant as before when it came to greeting each other.

Jiang Xianyou stopped what he was doing and looked at Old Master, who had suddenly called him, in confusion.

“I heard that you’re about to enter your third year of university? You’re studying at Water City University?”

“Yes, Grandpa Zhao.”

“Do you have a girlfriend?”

Jiang Xianyou’s hand swayed and he almost knocked over the thing in his hand.

“…No.”

“No. My Linlin doesn’t have a boyfriend either.”

Old Master seemed to be chatting as he continued to sun his herbs. In reality, Old Master’s eyes were bright where Jiang Xianyou couldn’t see.

How could Old Master not notice anything after interacting with him for so many days?

Previously, Jiang Xianyou and Yang Jun had said that they would only stay for a week. Now that 10 days had passed and they still hadn’t mentioned leaving, Jiang Xianyou looked at Zhao Linlin with a strange gaze from time to time. Even Zhao Qian could tell something, let alone Old Master.

“Linlin is outstanding. There must be many people pursuing her in university,” Jiang Xianyou said with mixed emotions.

“Grandpa Zhao doesn’t know about that. I only know that my granddaughter doesn’t have a boyfriend yet. Actually, our family is a little conservative, but since Grandpa Zhao encouraged my grandchildren to walk out of the mountain village and go to a big place, it means that Grandpa Zhao isn’t a conservative person. If Linlin meets a boy she likes and is outstanding and reliable, Grandpa Zhao won’t object to her dating.”

“I heard that Linlin’s classmate, Jinyu, already has a fiancé. It was even decided by her family since she was young, so it’s fine for our Linlin to have a boyfriend too.”

“…”

“However, although Grandpa Zhao approves of Linlin dating, I still want to see her date with my own eyes and know his character before agreeing. If there’s someone like you, Grandpa Zhao won’t object to her dating.”

“Thank you, Grandpa Zhao.”

“…” Old Master Zhao.?This brat is really obedient.

“Alright, I won’t be sunning the herbs after this batch. Play two rounds of chess with Grandpa Zhao and tell me about your future plans.”

“Alright, Grandpa Zhao.”

Zhao Linlin still didn’t know that her grandfather had “sold” her without her knowing.

***

After staying in the Zhao Family for 15 days, the few of them returned.

They didn’t return to the capital immediately. Instead, they were invited to Water City by Jiang Xianyou and Yang Jun.

Yan Jinyu didn’t intend to go at first, but after seeing Jiang Xianyou’s intentions towards Zhao Linlin, Zhao Linlin and Zhao Qian agreed to go to Water City to play and Yin Jiujin happened to be on a business trip in Water City, she decided to follow them.

What they did not know was that there was another person who had followed them to Water City.

Mo Qian.

Mo Qian was still indignant.

She was afraid of Yan Jinyu, but once she heard that Jiang Xianyou had invited Zhao Linlin to Water City to play, she couldn’t sit still anymore.

Her jealousy overwhelmed her fear.

Mo Qian was afraid of being discovered, so she didn’t take the same bus as them. She didn’t take the same flight with them either. She was always a little later than them.

Hence, even Yan Jinyu didn’t know that Mo Qian had followed them.

Of course, it was still because Yan Jinyu didn’t pay attention to her. Otherwise, Yan Jinyu would have 10,000 ways to know her whereabouts.

After getting off the plane, Yan Jinyu didn’t go to the Jiang Family with them. Instead, she took a taxi and went off alone. She said that she would look for them tomorrow.

She went to look for Yin Jiujin.

It was evening and Yin Jiujin was having a business negotiation at a clubhouse.

Although it was said to be a business negotiation, with Yin Jiujin’s status, it was more appropriate to say that it was a reception that the other party had set up to curry favor with him.

Yan Jinyu didn’t tell Yin Jiujin in advance when she came to Water City.

She wanted to give him a surprise.

Yin Jiujin had a ring that she had personally made and polished. Yin Jiujin could confirm her location through the connection between the ring and her “watch”, so she naturally could confirm Yin Jiujin’s location too.

However, under normal circumstances, they would not use this function.

Hence, Yan Jinyu wasn’t worried that Yin Jiujin would find out that she had come to Water City. The surprise for him was still there.

She took a taxi straight to the clubhouse.
