Chapter 88: Leaving The Yan Family

“I have to thank you no matter what.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Miss Yu in the future. Leaving the Yan Family… is also good.”

Yin Jiujin glanced at the silent Yan Jinyu and said, “You take care too.” This was said on behalf of the young lady.

The young lady did not speak but he could still sense that her attitude towards the elderly man was different.

“Sister, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of Grandpa Xin.” Once she said this, Yan Jinyun couldn’t help but despise herself inwardly again. Why was she talking so much again?

Also, when did she understand Yan Jinyu so well? She could actually sense that Yan Jinyu’s emotions were in an upheaval!

It was fine if she felt it, but she couldn’t bear not to say something.

It must be because they were twins that she was unusually soft-hearted in front of Yan Jinyu!

It must be!

Yan Jinyu looked at Yan Xin and then smiled at Yan Jinyun.

Yan Jinyun said, “…Can I go to Mount Jing since you’re going to stay in Mount Jing in the future? Don’t overthink. I’m not going to see you. I simply heard of Mount Jing and have admired it for a long time. I simply want to see the scenery there!”

Yan Jinyu looked up at Yin Jiujin with a questioning gaze.

Her eyes were black and clear.

Her face was fair and smooth.

After staring at her for a second, Yin Jiujin finally couldn’t help but raise his hand and pinch her face.

It felt so good.

Just as Yan Jinyu was about to slap his hand away, Yin Jiujin hurriedly let go of her and said in all seriousness, “You’re the mistress of Mount Jing. You have the right to decide who can step foot on Mount Jing and who can’t.” It was as if he didn’t pinch her on her face earlier.

With him like this, Yan Jinyu couldn’t hold a grudge on him.

Most importantly, Yin Jiujin said that she had the right to decide who could step foot on Mount Jing and who couldn’t. This made her mood improve a little.

Didn’t that mean that as long as she didn’t permit it, even Yin Jiujin’s mother couldn’t step foot into Mount Jing?

It wasn’t the first time she had heard others say that Yin Jiujin’s mother didn’t think highly of her as her future daughter-in-law. She had a hunch that their future interactions might be very unpleasant!

Furthermore, she had investigated the Yin Family. Although the information about the Yin Family wasn’t that easy to find, and there were many hidden things that couldn’t be found. However, she still had some understanding of this lady of the Yin Family, who was Yin Jiujin’s mother.

According to the information she had obtained, Yin Jiujin’s mother indeed had someone she liked to be her daughter-in-law.

Regardless of what would happen after she went to the capital, with Yin Jiujin’s words, his mother wouldn’t be able to take advantage of her in North City, especially in Mount Jing!

If Huo Siyu knew what she was thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes and say,?Beauty Yu, you’re thinking too much. With your character, even without Yin Jiujin’s words, no one would be able to take advantage of you!

“Yun’er, you heard that, right? So if you really want to see the scenery of Mount Jing, you have to be more polite to me. Otherwise, if I’m unhappy, you won’t be able to go to Mount Jing.”

“…” Yan Jinyun.

“However, since it’s your birthday today, I’ll give you some face. Since you admire Mount Jing so much, I’ll allow you to go over when I am at Mount Jing. How about that?”

Yan Jinyun, “…Thank you!” She was getting more and more confused about Yan Jinyu. Her personality was changing every now and then!

However, she wasn’t stupid and didn’t ignore Yan Jinyu’s “when I am at Mount Jing”.

Master Nine’s territory was not a place that anyone could enter as they wished. Otherwise, if anyone could go to his private territory to investigate as they wished, wouldn’t that make it easier for people to take his life?

Yan Jinyu was concerned about her so that she wouldn’t offend Master Nine when she wasn’t around.

Hmph! That was unnecessary.

Why would she still go to Mount Jing if Yan Jinyu wasn’t there?

“…” Yan Jinyun realized what she was thinking.

“Let’s go.” She took the gift box from Lin Zimu and said to Yan Jinyun, “Thank you for the gift.”

She nodded at Yan Xin, who was standing there. “Grandpa Xin, I’m leaving.”

“…Let’s go. Don’t worry about my old bones. I have a good life at the old residence. I’ll call you if anything happens.”

“Auntie, after I’m done with my work, I’ll treat you, Uncle, and Yu Xiao to a meal as my appreciation.” She did not say what she was thanking them for, but everyone knew.

“Okay, call me if you need anything.” After a pause, she said, “I picked out a birthday present for you and Yun’er. I’ve wanted to give it to you tonight… I’ll give it to Yun’er and ask her to pass it to you.”

“Alright, thank you Auntie.”

“Jinyu, wait. Let’s go together.” It was Luo Linlin.

Luo Linlin and Feng Chen walked a few steps before realizing that Feng Yuan was still standing where he was. Luo Linlin stopped in her tracks and turned back to shout, “Feng Yuan, what are you waiting for? Mrs. Yan already told us to get lost, and you still have the face to stay?”

“…” Fu Ya.?Fine, just go. Why are you bringing up old scores at a time like this! I’ve already lost so much face. I don’t want anyone to notice me now!

“Oh, I’m coming!” Feng Yuan replied. He took out a small gift box from his pocket. He ran over and stuffed it into Yan Jinyun’s arms. “Although you’re not a likable person, you and I are considered childhood friends. I’ve bought you a birthday gift every year, and this year is no exception. Keep it properlyl! I won’t help you pick it up if I see you throwing it away again!”

It was obvious that it wasn’t the first time Yan Jinyun had thrown away his present and he had picked it up to give it back to her.

“Who cares about your gift!” But she did not throw it out.

Sometimes, Yan Jinyun would feel that she was actually a little pathetic. She had a lot of friends and no matter where she went, she would be surrounded by a group of people. However, she only liked the birthday presents that Feng Yuan gave her among all those gifts that she received every year.

It was not that they were precious items. It was just that she liked them but her mother never allowed her to touch them.

Of course, Yan Jinyun naturally wouldn’t admit that.

“Even if you don’t want it, you have to accept it! Hmph, I only spent half an hour buying Jinyu a birthday gift but I spent an entire afternoon buying this gift for you!”

“…Of course it took a lot of time to buy scrap metal from an alley!”

“Say whatever you like! I will leave first. Happy birthday! Don’t ruin your face. You look ugly!”

Looking at them, Luo Linlin’s eyes flickered. “Feng Yuan, let’s go.”

She quite liked Jinyun but Jinyun’s mother…

Forget it. This brat didn’t know what he was thinking anyway.

Fortunately, they were cousins from another generation and not within three generations. Otherwise, it would be even more troublesome.

At this thought, Luo Linlin suddenly paused.

What was she thinking?

Even if she didn’t mind that Jinyun had a mother like Fu Ya, even if that brat Feng Yuan discovered his thoughts, he still needed Jinyun to like him! Would Jinyun, who was known as the top socialite in North City, like this hedonistic brat?

Feng Yuan followed. At that moment, Luo Linlin’s expression froze.

She saw someone walking towards Yan Jinyun from the crowd and handed her a present. “Yun’er, happy birthday.”

It was her nephew, the eldest son of the Luo Family, Luo Yilin.

Feng Yuan obviously saw it too. He frowned but he did not interfere.

Naturally, Yan Jinyu, who was walking in front, turned back when she heard the voice. She also saw that scene.

Other than seeing the interaction between Feng Yuan and Yan Jinyun, she also saw Luo Yilin, who handed the gift to Yan Jinyun.

She knew Luo Yilin. It was not that she had seen him or paid special attention to him, but since she was returning to North City, she naturally had to investigate the top families in North City.

Other than the detailed introduction of the family members, she also found photos of the family members. She had a good memory and could remember all the photos she had seen.

The way Luo Yilin looked at Yan Jinyun…

She frowned slightly and said, “Yun’er, I’m going out to find a place to celebrate my birthday. Do you want to join me?”

Yan Jinyun, who was about to raise her hand to receive Luo Yilin’s birthday gift, was stunned when she heard that. Her hand froze in midair as she looked at Yan Jinyu in confusion.

Why did she suddenly want to celebrate their birthday?

There had been no warning at all.

She wanted to reject her, but the words that came out of her mouth were, “Where?”

Seeing that she retracted her hand that was about to take the gift, Luo Yilin retracted his hand that was holding the gift. He still had a smile on his face, as if he wasn’t embarrassed at all.

However, Yan Jinyu still saw a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes.

Celebrating their birthday was, of course, an excuse. She had said it casually to verify her guess, as she wanted to see Luo Yilin’s reaction.

It seemed like she was right.

Yan Jinyun was under her protection. Of course, she wouldn’t allow such a hidden danger to stay by Yan Jinyun’s side. However, she wasn’t in a hurry. At least, she would wait until after today.

“Why don’t we go to Elegant Bamboo? Elegant Bamboo is not open for business these few days and it has many private rooms. Eldest Miss Yan, we meet again.” A person walked out of the crowd. It was Zhao Kun.

Yin Jiujin flicked a glance at him. Just that one glance made Zhao Kun’s scalp tingle.

Had he gone too far and exposed himself?

Just as he was feeling puzzled, Yin Jiujin retracted his gaze and said indifferently, “Let’s go to Mount Jing. It’s just a birthday party. Mount Jing can still arrange it.”

“…” Yan Jinyu felt that something was amiss.

“You can invite anyone you want,” Yin Jiujin said to Yan Jinyu.

“…Would it be too troublesome?” She still felt that something was amiss.

“You’re the mistress of Mount Jing.”

“Fine.”

She asked Yan Jinyun, “Yun’er, do you want to go to Mount Jing?”

“…Yes.”

Seeing that, a trace of ruthlessness flashed past Luo Yilin’s eyes again. He quickly restrained his emotions and looked up with a warm smile. “Eldest Miss Yan, do you mind if I join in the fun?”

Before Yan Jinyu could reply, she heard Yin Jiujin’s cold voice. “Since when did Mount Jing become a place that anyone can step into?”

Yin Jiujin didn’t notice the way Luo Yilin looked at Yan Jinyun. It wasn’t that he wasn’t vigilant enough, but his thoughts were all on Yan Jinyu. He didn’t notice anyone else at all.

He only spoke now because he was unhappy that Luo Yilin suddenly asked Yan Jinyu.

Yin Jiujin thought that Luo Yilin was lusting about Yan Jinyu. After all, in his eyes, Yan Jinyu was the most eye-catching woman here.

Luo Yilin’s heart skipped a beat. He couldn’t afford to offend Master Nine!

It was a pity that he had missed this opportunity. He had planned it all out. Tonight at the banquet…

It seemed like he could only find another chance next time.

He restrained the ruthlessness and unwillingness in his eyes and put on a polite smile. “Sorry, I was rude.”

Yin Jiujin glanced at him coldly. Luo Yilin quickly retracted his gaze and said, “Yun’er, have fun. This is your birthday present.”

“Thank you, Brother Luo. I have to leave first. Please pass the gift to Butler Wan.”

She frowned slightly as she felt that Luo Yilin was a little strange. That was Mount Jing. Where did he think it was? He actually asked so directly.

If Luo Yilin had a good relationship with her or Yan Jinyu, it would be understandable. However, he only had an ordinary relationship with her, and he didn’t have any relationship with Yan Jinyu either. If he just said that, not to mention that Master Nine was still there, even if Master Nine wasn’t around, such an action would be very rude.

“Alright, then I’ll pass the gift to the Yan Family’s butler. Yun’er, remember to look at it when you come back. Cousin spent an entire afternoon choosing a gift for you while I’ve spent an entire day choosing a gift for you. It shouldn’t be any worse than Cousin’s gift. It won’t disappoint you, Yun’er.”

Yan Jinyun glanced at him. She felt that Luo Yilin was even stranger now.

However, she could not pinpoint exactly what was strange.

She felt thankful for Yan Jinyu’s sudden suggestion. Otherwise, she would probably be very tired from maintaining her image and dealing with Luo Yilin.

With this comparison, Feng Yuan seemed much more pleasing to the eye.

“Alright, thank you, Young Master Luo.”

The way she addressed him had changed.

Luo Yilin almost couldn’t hold onto the gentlemanly smile on his face for a moment. His face was a little stiff. “You’re welcome. Yun’er doesn’t have to be so polite with me. Just call me Brother Luo like before.”

Yan Jinyun suddenly shivered. “O-Okay.”

She quickly looked away and took a deep breath. She said to everyone appropriately, “We’ve been rude today. The Yan Family’s banquet is over now. After the Yan Family’s matters are settled, I’ll officially host a banquet to entertain everyone.”

Everyone quickly said it didn’t matter.

With Master Nine around, they didn’t dare to have any objections!

Besides, the Yan Family was obviously going to change hands. They should just sit back and watch the show and not get involved!

However, they could tell that the young master of the Luo Family seemed to be interested in Second Miss Yan. If the Yan Family and the Luo Family were to be connected by marriage, the situation in North City would definitely change…

It was better to hurry back and take care of their own families!

Yan Jinyun smiled apologetically at everyone and followed after him. “Feng Yuan, wait for me!” If one looked closely, they would realize that her footsteps were actually a little fast.

She looked like she couldn’t wait to get away from Luo Yilin.

Feng Yuan looked at Luo Yilin and nodded. “Cousin, we’ll get going first.”

He then said to Yan Jinyun with disdain, “Look at the gown you’re wearing. You can’t even walk properly. Go and change!”

“No way! I look good in this!”

“How is it good-looking? It’s ugly!”

“You said that the gown my sister chose is ugly. Are you questioning my sister’s taste?”

“…” Feng Yuan choked on his words.

Luo Linlin looked at them and shook her head helplessly. She took a meaningful look at Luo Yilin before turning to Yan Ruyu. “Ruyu, do you want to go with us?”

They were friends since they were young.

“I’m not going. Let the young people have fun. I have to see the lawyer later.”

“Then I won’t go either. Feng Chen and I will return to the Feng Family first. If there’s anything we can help with, call me.”

Yan Ruyu nodded, “Alright, take care.”
