Chapter 12 - Her Backup
It was good that she could find the motivation to live, but…
"Little Yu, Bai Ye's death might be related to the Yin Family. Didn't you come back this time to investigate this matter and avenge Bai Ye?"
Yan Jinyu was stunned. That was right. That was why she revealed her whereabouts to Yin Jiujin so he could find her.
"It might not necessarily be related to Brother Nine even if it's related to the Yin Family. Even if Bai Ye's death is really related to Brother Nine, so what? Even if Bai Ye didn't take the bullet for me back then, I could still avoid it. In that case, what I owe Bai Ye can't be considered as saving my life. At most, I owe him a favor. I've investigated the cause of his death and that's enough for me to return the favor. As for whether I take revenge for him or not, it all depends on my wishes."
The two of them were speechless.
Bai Ye was indeed not important to her. Otherwise, she would not have been in a daze for so long after destroying Ghost Slaughter Island.
She had meticulously planned for Yin Jiujin to bring her back. Rather than saying that she wanted to find out the cause of Bai Ye's death and avenge him, it would be more accurate to say that she had finally found a reason to live and acted on it.
After a long silence, Feng said, "I will take down the Min Family as soon as possible."
This meant that he wanted to be her backup. In the capital, although the Min Family's status was not as high as the Yin Family, it was still one of the three great families.
Of course, Yan Jinyu understood Feng's good intentions and she was not going to reject him. After all, in this world, only Feng would call her "Little Yu".
But now, there was Yin Jiujin too.
This was also why Yin Jiujin calling her "Little Yu" had touched her when he sent her back to the Yan Family.
"Mm-hm. Feng and Meimei, you two be careful too."
Meimei snorted, "You don't have to worry about us. You should take care of yourself first. Those people from the Yan Family are not easy to deal with. Since you want to stay in the Yan Family, you should be wary of them. Also, you can only drink two packets of yogurt every day. Don't forget that!"
Without waiting for her reply, she hung up.
Yan Jinyu chuckled softly. She got up and took out a nightdress from the clothes Yin Jiujin had bought for her and then walked to the bathroom.
She was a little tired after a long day. She wanted to take a shower and have a good sleep. The rest could wait until tomorrow.
Besides, Yin Jiujin had rushed straight to the airport after leaving the Yan Family. He would have called Yan Jinyu to ask about her situation in the Yan Family if he wasn't on the plane.
This was the first time Yin Jiujin was so worried about someone in 24 years.
Lin Zimu, who had left with him, looked down and chose to remain silent. He did not even dare to mention the problem with the project.
He had been by his boss's side for many years so he knew very well that he should try to remain invisible when his boss was angry.
He was lighting a candle for that troublemaker right now.
There was nothing wrong with causing trouble in the business world due to the intense competition, but the other party should not have caused trouble when the boss had just sent Miss Yan back to the Yan Family. The boss was obviously worried about Miss Yan. However, he had no choice but to leave North City to deal with the trouble. It would be a wonder if he wasn't angry.
***
The next morning, Yan Jinyu woke up at six as usual.
The entire small villa was filled with guest rooms. At this moment, she was the only one living there. Moreover, it was still early so she still did not see anyone after practising two sets of her moves on the balcony. It was very quiet.
After practising her moves, she went to the small villa's yard to run for a while. By the time she was done, it was already seven o'clock. She took a shower and changed into casual clothes. After tying her hair, she took her phone and walked out of the small villa. It was already half past seven then.
The Yan Family members began to get up.
Yan Qingyu was eating breakfast at the dining table when Yan Jinyu arrived at the main building.
Hearing the servants' nonchalant greeting, Yan Qingyu looked up. When he saw Yan Jinyu walking towards him, his gaze froze.
She wore a white t-shirt and jeans. With her long hair tied up and her exquisite face, she looked very youthful and beautiful.
It was the kind of vitality that girls her age should have.
It was normal.
But in his eyes, something about Yan Jinyu was abnormal.
It was still the same reason. This did not match the behavior of a young girl who had supposedly grown up in an orphanage in a rural town and had never seen the world.
She was too calm and composed.
For some reason, Yan Qingyu felt uneasy seeing Yan Jinyu like this.
Yan Jinyu was very sharp. How could she not notice Yan Qingyu sizing her up so directly? She looked up at him and smiled mildly. "Father, good morning."
This natural greeting and the innocent smile on her face made Yan Qingyu's eyes darken a little. He looked at her steadily before looking away and nodding, "Yes."
Without waiting for Yan Qingyu to greet her, Yan Jinyu walked to the dining table and sat down.
The servant at the side was shocked when she saw her take the seat, "Eldest… Eldest Missy, this seat belongs to… Second Missy." The servant was not worried that Yan Jinyu would blame her for saying that. She was worried that Yan Jinyun would be unhappy when she found out that her seat was occupied.
The servants didn't even take Yan Jinyu seriously.
Yan Jinyu smiled and looked at her. "Oh, is that so?"
When the servant saw this smile, her hair stood on end. However, there was obviously nothing unusual about her smile.
"Y-yes."
Yan Jinyu continued smiling when she saw the servant's reaction, "There are only two sets of untouched breakfast on the table. If this isn't my seat, could it be that the one opposite is?"
The servant was stunned. "I-it's not either. That's Madam's position."
"Two sets of breakfast. One is for your Second Missy, and the other is for the Madam. So, have you forgotten that I returned to the Yan Family last night? Or did you not prepare it for me on purpose? Why? You don't want to acknowledge me as your Eldest Miss?" Yan Jinyu didn't touch the breakfast. The smile on her face was still there, but the soft sound of the cutlery knife in her hand hitting the plates made people's hair stand on end.
I… This… I…" The servant looked at Yan Jinyu, then at Yan Qingyu, who was also sizing Yan Jinyu up. For a moment, she didn't know how to reply to her.
She was clearly a young mistress who was not favored by her employers. She did not have any backing or ability. Why was she so useless and afraid of her?
"Perhaps the servants in the kitchen forgot about it in a moment of carelessness. They can just instruct the kitchen to prepare another set. It's not a big matter. Why are you making such a fuss over such a small matter early in the morning?!"
Yan Jinyu looked up and saw Fu Ya walking down the stairs.
She seemed to have been standing there for quite a while.
Initially, the servant did not have much confidence. However, her confidence rose after hearing Fu Ya's words because Fu Ya have been standing there for a quite a while but chose not speak up to help Yan Jinyu, and Yan Qingyu was calmly eating his breakfast at the head of the table, as though he did not intend to speak up for her either.
Indeed, the one who was brought back could not be compared to the one who was raised by the parents personally. Sir and Madam did not even care about her, so it was not without reason that these servants did not take Eldest Missy seriously.
Just as she was thinking about that, she saw the eldest missy, who she did not think highly of, start to eat with her fork and knife.
"Eldest Missy, this is Second Missy's breakfast!"
