The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 227: A Smart Person

The next day, Yin Jiujin personally sent Yan Jinyu to the Empire Mall to meet Qin Jianjia. He then went to the Empire Group’s office in the capital.

Yan Jinyu didn’t let him stay after dropping her off. She let him leave after sending her to the exterior of the mall.

She just didn’t want Qin Bailu or Min Sisi to have a chance to meet Yin Jiujin.

Yin Jiujin could tell what she was thinking. He couldn’t help but get out of the car. He hugged her and kissed her.

Coincidentally, this scene was seen by Min Sisi and Qin Bailu.

Min Sisi was fine. Other than being a little surprised, she did not show much abnormality. However, she was probably embarrassed to stare at them and retracted her gaze after taking one brief look.

In comparison, Qin Bailu wasn’t as calm as her. Her eyes seemed to be filled with poison as she glared at Yan Jinyu fiercely.

Such an eager and affectionate kiss!

Master Nine really cared about Yan Jinyu!

This was the first time Qin Bailu realized so clearly that if Yan Jinyu didn’t die, she definitely wouldn’t have the chance to marry into the Yin Family!

“Bailu! Bailu!”

When Qin Bailu looked at Min Sisi, the ruthlessness in her eyes had yet to be completely restrained. It was unknown if Min Sisi saw it or not, but she didn’t mention it.

“Are you very shocked? I’ve already called you a few times, but you didn’t react at all.”

Then, Min Sisi looked at the two intimate people not far away and said with a sigh, “I didn’t expect Second Cousin to like Eldest Miss Yan so much. I wonder what kind of person Eldest Miss Yan is to actually make Second Cousin like her so much.”

[A person who would not live long!]

Qin Bailu replied inwardly.

“I went to North City some time ago because I had something to do. After my sister found out, she asked me to send two home-cooked dishes made by the Yin Family’s Grandma Wu to Master Nine. I’ve seen Yan Jinyu before. She’s quite good-looking. As for her personality, I can’t really tell. Perhaps she grew up in a small place and is especially innocent.”

Of course, Qin Bailu didn’t think so.

She was someone who fled in fear from Yan Jinyu’s gaze.

Moreover, Yan Jinyu had even warned her not to have any designs and not to try to get close to Master Nine!

She had said that on purpose to let Min Sisi feel that she was friendly to Yan Jinyu. This way, she could only remove herself from blame after Yan Jinyu really got into trouble.

“Master Nine has been in the business world for so many years and has seen too much deception. I think he likes such innocent and good-looking girls.”

“Her personality… is innocent.” Min Sisi seemed to be mumbling, but she also seemed to be following Qin Bailu’s words.

Qin Bailu thought that Min Sisi didn’t believe her and said again, “From the outside, she’s indeed very innocent.”

“You’ll know when you see her later, Sisi.”

On the other side, how could the two equally sharp people not sense these two obvious gazes?

In the beginning, Yan Jinyu still cared a little. After all, she had decided not to let them see Yin Jiujin. However, gradually, she couldn’t care less after Yin Jiujin brought her into this kiss.

So be it. It would be best if she could see who this person was.

After the kiss, Yin Jiujin pulled Yan Jinyu into his arms and hugged her for a while before helping her tidy her hair. When he lowered his head to look at her, his eyes were so gentle that they looked like they were about to drip water. “I’m leaving.”

Yan Jinyu’s eyes curved into crescents. She jumped up and kissed him on the cheek. That lively and innocent behavior really made her look a little naive.

“See you later, Brother Nine.”

Yin Jiujin smiled and pinched her face. “See you later.”

Then, he got into the car and left.

Yan Jinyu only retracted her gaze after the car left.

She swept a quick glance at the two people not far away and narrowed her eyes. When she looked up again, her eyes were clear and she looked like an ignorant and naive girl.

She did not walk towards the two of them. Instead, she took out her phone from her sling bag and called Qin Jianjia. After knowing that Qin Jianjia was waiting for her in the lobby of the Empire Mall, she walked straight to the mall’s entrance.

However, just as she reached the entrance of the mall, the two of them walked towards her.

“Eldest Miss Yan,” Qin Bailu said. Although she was trying very hard to control her anger, one could still hear her gritting her teeth.

She stopped and looked up at the two of them.

She smiled faintly. “Oh, so it’s Second Miss Qin.”

Her attitude shocked Qin Bailu.

Was Yan Jinyu so good to her?

No! She wasn’t!

But now…

Was Yan Jinyu doing this on purpose to express her goodwill so that she could scheme against her after she lowered her guard ?

With that in mind, Qin Bailu froze on the spot and didn’t dare to go forward.

Min Sisi looked at her strangely before retracting her gaze. She looked at Yan Jinyu and adjusted her glasses. She smiled very friendly, “You’re Eldest Miss Yan, right? Let me introduce myself. I’m Min Sisi. Your fiancé is my second cousin. I heard that you and my eldest cousin-in-law are coming to shop, so I came along to join in the fun. I hope I don’t disturb you.”

“So you’re the eldest daughter of the Min Family.”

“Miss Min, why are you asking this? Do you think you’ll go back now if I say that you’re disturbing me?” Yan Jinyu smiled brightly. She seemed to have said this unintentionally.

She continued to smile and said, “It seems like you won’t. Since you won’t, why ask, Eldest Miss Min?”

Min Sisi’s expression froze.

However, Yan Jinyu said, “I’m joking. You guys contacted my Sister-in-law. Since Sister-in-law doesn’t have any objections, I naturally have no objections either. Since we met here, shall we go in together? Sister-in-law is waiting in the lobby.”

Min Sisi looked at Yan Jinyu deeply.

However, she realized that she could not see through her.

Why would she say such words if she was innocent and ignorant?

However, she didn’t look like she was scheming and didn’t like them either.

She had long heard that the eldest daughter of the Yan Family was not as simple as she looked on the outside. Now that she saw her, indeed…

She heard that Qiu Jian from the Qiu Family went to North City to cause trouble and even competed with Yan Jinyu in a car match. In the end, she was seriously injured.

She didn’t know if Yan Jinyu’s driving skills were really outstanding or if it was because of luck. However, she was certain that Yan Jinyu wasn’t as ignorant as the rumors said.

Moreover, she was very brave.

After all, she was someone that Second Cousin valued. How bad could she be?

Qin Bailu actually wanted to lie to her and say that Yan Jinyu’s personality was innocent. Did she really think that she didn’t know anything and only knew how to study?

“Sure.” Min Sisi smiled. “Miss Yan, please go first.”

Yan Jinyu didn’t stand on ceremony either. She gave Min Sisi a clean and flawless smile and walked into the mall first.

This Min Sisi…

Although she couldn’t tell if she was friend or foe, she could tell that Min Sisi was much smarter than Qin Bailu after such a short interaction.

However, regardless of whether she was friend or foe, she was the daughter of Min Guili and Meng An. She was destined to only be an enemy.

It was a pity. It was rare to see such a big family raise a smart person.

Walking behind, Qin Bailu glared at Min Sisi and whispered, “Why are you so good to her? You’re the eldest daughter of the Min Family. She’s just a daughter from a small family. Why are you so humble in front of her?”

Qin Bailu’s eyes flickered when she met Min Sisi’s gaze. “I know that we can’t look down on others just because we’re from a high family, but our background is right there. We can just be polite to others, but there’s no need to be so humble.”

“Bailu, aren’t you being too calculative? When did I lower myself? Isn’t it just normal politeness? I treat everyone like this.”

“Besides, no matter how low her background is, she’s still my second cousin’s fiancée. She might be my second cousin-in-law in the future. What’s wrong with me treating her better and being more polite?”

“Hmph! It’s not certain that she will be your second cousin-in-law!”

Min Sisi chuckled. “Indeed.”

Her voice was a little soft, but Qin Bailu, who was beside her, still heard it. As for Yan Jinyu, who was walking in front, her five senses had been trained. She was much sharper than ordinary people, so she naturally heard it too.

She smiled slightly.

This smile was a little evil, but it quickly disappeared. No one saw it.

“What did you say?” Qin Bailu asked.

Min Sisi actually didn’t deny it and smiled at her. “I say, with so many young ladies from influential families targeting my second cousin, it’s really hard to say who will marry into the Yin Family in the future.”

“I hope Eldest Miss Yan can make it to the end.”

So that was what she meant.

Qin Bailu heaved a sigh of relief.

She thought that Min Sisi only said that because she had feelings for Master Nine.

She was not afraid of being competitors with others, but Min Sisi…

It wasn’t that Min Sisi was more outstanding than her, but Min Sisi was someone who was used to putting on an act. Her reputation was very good in front of the elders of the various families in the capital, and Mrs. Yin especially favored Min Sisi.

If Min Sisi really wanted to compete with her, she didn’t have much of a chance of winning.

There was one thing that Qin Bailu automatically filtered out, and that was that she felt that her mother, Bai Shuangshuang, also favored Min Sisi very much.

This was the biggest reason why she was not confident in front of Min Sisi.

Looking at Yan Jinyu’s back in front of her, Qin Bailu sneered, “If only she can do that.”

Yan Jinyu, who had heard their conversation, didn’t say anything. She walked straight to Qin Jianjia, who was sitting on the sofa in the lobby.

Qin Jianjia stood up as soon as she saw them.

However, she didn’t look at the other two people. She sized Yan Jinyu up. “Mm-hm, you’re dressed rather well. It’s rare that Jin’er knows how to take care of people.”

Yan Jinyu chuckled, “How did Sister-in-law know that he was the one who took care of my thick clothes and not me?”

Although Yin Jiujin had found her a down jacket to wear, Yin Jiujin had personally put on the scarf, hat, and gloves for her.

Speaking of this, Yan Jinyu couldn’t help but sigh again.

It was still fine on Mount Jing when Yin Jiujin had prepared the clothes from the few cabinets for her in a hurry. After coming to the capital, he had prepared a huge cloakroom for her at the Mount West Villa. He had even prepared a lot of clothes for the four different seasons.

Yan Jinyu felt that she wouldn’t have to buy clothes for the next few years.

However, Yin Jiujin definitely wouldn’t let her wear these clothes for a few years.

Fortunately, Yin Jiujin still had a conscience. He didn’t prepare any pink clothes for her, even though most of them were pink.

Qin Jianjia wasn’t stunned by Yan Jinyu’s question. Instead, she said matter-of-factly, “He’s so many years older than you. Of course, he has to take care of you.”

“I was still thinking that Jin’er wouldn’t have thought of preparing clothes for you to change into when you stayed at the Mount West Villa last night.”
