The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 133: Falling Out

As for what it was, she was naturally curious about Yin Jiujin.

However, she was only curious.

She simply felt that Yin Jiujin was someone she was protecting. She didn’t want to see him unhappy. And she wouldn’t like those people who made him unhappy, no matter who they were.

The smile on her face faded when she looked at Yin Shuguo again.

However, since Yin Jiujin had said that Yin Shuguo was an elder, she wouldn’t disrespect him.

Without saying a word, she held Yin Jiujin’s hand and pinched his fingertips. When he realized that she was looking at him, he smiled at her.

Seeing her smile, Yin Jiujin’s heart suddenly softened.

The anger in his heart mostly dissipated just like that.

The interaction between the two of them wasn’t obvious. Furthermore, Yin Shuguo’s attention wasn’t on this, so he didn’t notice it. He only moved his lips while looking at Yin Jiujin. After a long while, he sighed and said, “It’s been so many years, but you’re still holding a grudge over that matter… You also know that what we did back then wasn’t wrong. If it were you, you would only have a greater reaction than us. Besides, in the end, didn’t we all follow your wishes? Why did you…”

Yin Jiujin didn’t say a word. He just looked over indifferently. Yin Shuguo sighed softly. “Forget it. If you don’t want to talk about it, then let’s not talk about it.”

“I won’t pursue this matter about you not telling us about finding Little Yu anymore. It’s good that she’s back. You’ve found the person whom your grandmother had failed to find. She should be resting in peace now that she knows.”

Yan Jinyu’s eyes flickered slightly.

Old Madam Yin had never given up on finding her like her grandparents. She even missed her until her death.

Speaking of which, three years ago, if it wasn’t the critical period during the destruction of Ghost Slaughter Island, she might have rushed back to see Old Madam Yin when she found out that Old Madam Yin was seriously ill.

When Old Madam Yin passed away, she was already much more free than the period when her grandparents passed away. Ghost Slaughter was no longer capable of trapping her as before.

They were afraid of her because they couldn’t trap her; They wanted to get rid of her because they were afraid of her.

Then, she killed the people who wanted to kill her and destroyed Ghost Slaughter Island.

Old Madam Yin had been looking for her all along, but Old Master Yin didn’t. However, the two of them were husband and wife and had always had an extremely good relationship. Upon hearing Old Master Yin’s words, it wasn’t difficult to tell that he also hoped that she would come back.

Regardless of whether Old Master Yin had contributed to the search for her, he at least hoped that she would come back.

She should thank him at least for that.

In the beginning, she had thought that since Yin Shuguo was an elder that Yin Jiujin respected, she would just treat him with respect. She didn’t expect that there had actually been something between him and Yin Jiujin that made Yin Jiujin unhappy just by mentioning it. Then, her kindness towards Yin Shuguo decreased slightly. Now, hearing his words…

Hence, Yan Jinyu’s feelings for Yin Shuguo suddenly became complicated.

As for Yin Jiujin, when he heard Yin Shuguo mention his grandmother, Meng Xiangyu, a different emotion clearly appeared in his eyes. He pursed his lips and remained silent.

The atmosphere was a little strange.

At this moment, Yan Jinyu laughed lightly. She didn’t want this subtle atmosphere to continue. “Thank you for remembering me for so many years, Grandpa Yin. Even if Brother Nine didn’t mention it, I believe Grandpa Yin could hear it from somewhere else. This isn’t a big deal. There’s no need to argue over it.”

“Grandpa Yin, on the other hand, you’ve had a tiring journey since you came from the capital. Let’s go talk in the house if you have anything to say.”

She pinched Yin Jiujin’s fingertips and smiled at him. “Brother Nine, let’s go in first.”

Seeing that Yin Jiujin was letting her lead him forward, the anger on Yin Jiujin’s face had already dissipated. Yin Shuguo had a better impression of Yan Jinyu now.

She could read people’s expressions and manage the atmosphere. She could even calm his second grandson down.

Perhaps, with this girl around in the future, Jin’er’s relationship with them would gradually improve.

It was the way the little girl addressed Jin’er…

He had heard many people call Jin’er “Master Nine”, but this was the first time he had heard someone call her “Brother Nine”. It seemed like Jin’er really cared about this girl.

This was a good thing, but the girl’s experience…

Although she was a little smart, with her innocent and ignorant look, she would be bullied by others when she went to the capital in the future.

Not to mention others, even Jin’er’s mother would probably look down on this girl.

It was fine if the little girl had been growing up in the Yan Family. Although the status difference between the Yan Family and the Yin Family was huge, with his wife and Feng Yan’s engagement, even if Jin’er’s mother felt that the two families weren’t compatible, she shouldn’t be too opposed to it.

However, the little girl had been missing for all these years and grew up in an orphanage. She had even dropped out of school after graduating from junior high school. She was probably not up to Jin’er’s mother’s standard.

Forget it. There was still him to watch over her. No matter how much Jin’er’s mother disliked this engagement, she couldn’t decide on Jin’er’s marriage. After all, Jin’er’s mother wouldn’t take the initiative to interfere in Jin’er’s affairs after she had angered Jin’er once and caused Jin’er to gradually drift away from his family.

***

In the VIP ward of a certain hospital in the capital.

A girl was standing by the window and making a call. The person on the other end of the call said something that made her expression twist involuntarily, “What did you say? It failed?!”

“I offered 20 million dollars and even got someone to investigate the other party’s whereabouts. Then, you are responsible for getting rid of the person but you actually failed? Since you don’t have the ability, you shouldn’t have accepted my mission back then!”

Then, the other party said something and her expression froze. Her eyes were filled with fear, “You, tell me, w-who was by her side at that time?”

“Master Nine, that Master Nine is by her side! Miss Qiu, we agreed that you would be responsible for finding someone else to investigate the other party’s whereabouts. We only made a move when we were sure that Master Nine wasn’t by her side. The information you provided was wrong, and none of the six people we sent out returned. We haven’t even settled the score with you regarding this matter, but you’re blaming it on us! Why? Do you think that compared to us, you’re more like an outlaw?”

The girl holding the phone felt her heart skip a beat.

However, she pretended to be calm. “Even so, don’t you have to be responsible for this? You took the initiative to accept the mission. You are responsible since the mission failed! Who asked you to accept missions for money!”

Without giving the other party a chance to respond, she continued, “To be honest, both of us are responsible for this. I’ve already given you 10 million dollars as a deposit. I’ll transfer the remaining 10 million dollars to you according to the agreement. Take it that my information was wrong and caused you to lose six people as compensation!”

After saying that, she hung up angrily. With a bang, the phone was slammed onto the ground.

“My phone!” The girl who was leaning against the bed with her hands and feet in cast and gauze wrapped around her head exclaimed when she saw the phone being shattered on the floor.

“Bai Lu, if you’re angry, just be angry. Why did you have to smash my phone? Do you know how much my phone is worth? The Qiu Family is gone, and my parents have brought my brother somewhere to hide from the creditors. I can’t even pay for the hospitalization fees. I don’t have any extra money to buy a new phone!”

Obviously, the person on the bed was Qiu Jian, and the person holding her phone was Qin Bailu.

“Do you still know that you can’t even pay for the medical bills? I’ve paid such a high medical fee for you, so what’s wrong with smashing your phone?! If it wasn’t for the fact that I don’t want to ruin my reputation, who would care about your life? I really don’t know if my brain was fried in the past. I actually became friends with a person like you! You’re like a sticky candy now and I can’t shake you off!”

Qiu Jian looked at the person in front of her who was no longer gentle and dignified. Her face was twisted like a middle-aged woman in the midst of rage. Qiu Jian’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

“B-Bailu, who did I become like this for? If it wasn’t for you, would I have offended Yan Jinyu and Master Nine and even caused the Qiu Family to lose everything? You actually said such words! Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?!”

“Hmph! For me? You make it sound so nice. Did I ask you to find trouble with Yan Jinyu? If not for you, I wouldn’t have been implicated and left a bad impression in front of Master Nine!”

“Qin Bailu, didn’t you say that you didn’t dare to have any thoughts about someone like Master Nine and only placed him in your heart secretly, waiting for the day when that relationship will slowly fade? But now, you’re saying that you want to leave a good impression in front of Master Nine. What’s that for?”

Qin Bailu sneered, “You believe everything I say? Idiot! I’m the Second Missy of the Qin Family. My sister is the eldest young mistress of the Yin Family. No one is more qualified than me to marry into the Yin Family!”

“Hahahaha… Qin Bailu, you’re really fantasizing. Not to mention that Master Nine has someone in his heart, what advantage do you have compared to Yan Jinyu and that person from the Min Family?”

“You even said that the eldest young mistress of the Yin Family is your sister! Do you really treat her as your sister? Who doesn’t know that you hate your half-sister and brother the most! It’s funny that I used to think that you were my best friend. I couldn’t bear to let you suffer silently in love alone and feel hurt and I wanted to help you fight for him. I’m really a f*cking fool!”

“When the Qiu Family was still around, you thought that I was useful, so you pretended to be kind. Good friend? Qin Bailu, you’re such a b*tch!”

“I’m really blind to treat you as a good friend! You said that the Qiu Family couldn’t pay for my medical fees anymore and even said that you wanted to stand up for me. You even got someone to teach Yan Jinyu a lesson for me. I actually naively believed you!”

“I only know now that you said that you would help me pay for my medical fees because you want to use my name to find someone to deal with Yan Jinyu. Even if the truth gets out, you can still get away with it! Help me vent my anger? I think you’re the one who’s jealous and resentful of Yan Jinyu, right!”

“Qin Bailu, you can pretend for a while, but can you pretend for a lifetime? Sooner or later, your hypocritical appearance will be discovered by everyone! At that time, not to mention marrying into the Yin Family, even the beggars on the roadside won’t want you!”

Qin Bailu’s expression was very ugly. “How dare you talk to me like this. It seems like you don’t want me to continue paying the medical bills!”

However, Qiu Jian was not threatened by her at all. “No, Qin Bailu, you won’t really ignore me. Don’t you want to maintain a good image? If you abandon your good friend when she’s in trouble, your reputation will be damaged! Aren’t you so good at pretending for a good reputation? How can you be willing to ruin your hard-earned reputation?”

“Moreover, if you really leave me in a lurch, aren’t you afraid that I’ll go look for Master Nine and tell him that you’re the one who wants to teach her a lesson… Oh, wait, the killers that you hired, you wanted to kill Yan Jinyu! Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell Master Nine that you’re the one who wants to kill Yan Jinyu?”

Qin Bailu’s face twisted even more. She looked like she wanted to eat her up.

“No, you’re afraid. You’re very afraid!”

“So, Qin Bailu, you can’t leave me in a lurch.”

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you too?” From Qin Bailu’s expression, it was obvious that she really wanted to kill Qiu Jian.

Qiu Jian’s expression froze for a moment before she sneered again, “Do you really think I’m stupid enough not to leave a backup plan for myself? It’s fine if I’m not dead, but once I’m dead, your reputation will also be ruined. If you don’t believe me, you can try!”

“Speaking of which, Qin Bailu, we’re just the same. I’m being used by you, but aren’t you being used by others too?”

Qin Bailu’s face turned pale. “What do you mean by that?!”

“Hahahaha… Do you think I’ll tell you? Just wait to be used like me and end up just like me!”

Qin Bailu was angry and wanted to rush over to strangle her.

“I advise you not to get close to me. Otherwise, I’ll shout murder! This is a hospital and there are people outside. Once I shout, your reputation will… Tsk tsk tsk…”

Qin Bailu suddenly stopped. “Qiu Jian, good for you! We’ll wait and see!”

After saying that, she left angrily.

Only after she left did Qiu Jian cover her face and cry out loud.

She was filled with regret.

For the sake of her good friend, she even got the Qiu Family involved. In the end, she realized that her so-called good friend was just a hypocritical fake. She made friends with her only to use her!

Not only did she have nothing now, but the Qiu Family members, who had also suffered, would also come to the hospital to find trouble with her every other day.

It was better since she was in the hospital now. She was staying in the VIP ward and the capital was full of influential people. Perhaps, there were people in the wards nearby that they couldn’t provoke. Afraid that it would anger the people in the other wards and cause trouble for them, the Qiu Family’s members did not make a fuss.

She could already foresee what kind of dark days she would have after she was discharged!
