Chapter 124 - Jinyu's Dominance
Yan Jinyun didn't expect to see Yan Jinyu here. She thought that Yan Jinyu was either with Huo Siyu or Yin Jiujin.
She still didn't know that Huo Siyu had left North City.
Seeing Yan Jinyu, Yan Jinyun suddenly felt much more relaxed.
She had come here today to discuss a collaboration with Luo Qiu, but she actually didn't have any confidence. Now that the Luo Family indeed couldn't have any changes, if someone had any ideas about the Luo Family, regardless of whether they wanted to use the Luo Family to develop in North City or to take the Luo Family for their own use, it would obviously be disadvantageous to the Yan Family.
Since he had the intention to rope in the Luo Family, the other party definitely wouldn't only value the benefits in front of him now.
In North City, other than Master Nine's Empire Group, the Yan Family had the most benefits. If anyone wanted to enter North City, the Yan Family would definitely be affected.
She wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. However, she had received news early this morning that the Huo Family in South City, or more accurately, the people under the head of the Huo Family in South City, Huo Xuan, had contacted Luo Qiu.
Huo Xuan was someone who dared to go against Master Nine.
Regardless of whether his goal was North City or to find trouble with Master Nine, if he established himself in North City, even if he didn't target some of the Yan Family's established businesses, the Yan Family would still be implicated if he started a fight with Master Nine.
Hence, no matter what, she had to discuss a collaboration with Luo Qiu today.
She wasn't confident that Luo Qiu would agree to work with her. Yan Jinyu was different.
She always felt that there was nothing Yan Jinyu couldn't do.
She didn't know when she started to have such an inexplicable trust and dependence on Yan Jinyu. Perhaps it was because Yan Jinyu had said that she was the person she protected yesterday, or could be because she received Yan Jinyu's birthday present on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, or it might be even earlier.
Luo Qiu was wondering who it was when Yan Jinyun stood up and looked at the person. "Sister! Why are you here?" Yan Jinyun's expression seemed to be a little excited too.
After knowing Yan Jinyun for so many years, other than in front of Feng Yuan, Luo Qiu had never seen Yan Jinyun show her true nature in front of anyone. It was even harder for her to see Yan Jinyun express her emotions directly on her face.
Looking at the girl walking towards them, Luo Qiu thought to herself. So this is the eldest daughter of the Yan Family, who has recently become famous in North City.
She was very beautiful and looked a little like Yan Jinyun.
However, her and Yan Jinyun's characters seemed to be two extremes.
Yan Jinyun was cold and dignified, but she was delicate and cute.
Didn't everyone say that the elder sister had a good physique but was unlikable and couldn't speak when she was two years old? Didn't everyone say that the younger sister had a weak physique but was smart, cute, and likable?
Indeed, girls changed drastically when they grew up.
The difference in personality was really huge compared to the rumors 16 years ago.
Ever since she appeared, Yan Jinyu had a faint smile on her face. Moreover, her smile gave people a very comfortable feeling.
She was very sincere and not fake at all.
In a nutshell, her smile was infectious. Just looking at her smile made one feel that the world was no longer gloomy and bright.
She wondered how Yan Jinyu managed to maintain such a sincere and clean smile all these years when she was clearly leading a wandering life.
"Eldest Miss Yan." Luo Qiu stood up out of courtesy.
Yan Jinyu smiled at her. "Hello, Miss Luo."
Luo Qiu was a little surprised that she recognized her at a glance.
However, Yan Jinyu didn't give her a chance to show her doubts. She turned her gaze to Yan Jinyun and answered Yan Jinyun's question, "I knew that you were meeting the eldest daughter of the Luo Family, so I came over to take a look."
This wasn't a lie. She had indeed rushed over because she knew that Yan Jinyun had asked Luo Qiu out. Otherwise, she would have stayed in Yin Jiujin's office all day to guard him. That was her initial plan.
After all, she was Yin Jiujin's bodyguard now.
One of the reasons why she came over was because she was worried about Yan Jinyun, but it wasn't the main reason. After all, she didn't intend to let Yan Jinyun live under her wings forever.
If Yan Jinyun wanted to take over the Yan Corporation, of course, this process wouldn't go smoothly.
As long as Yan Jinyun didn't encounter any big trouble, she wouldn't ask too much.
She had left Yin Jiujin and specially rushed over from the Empire Group because Luo Yikun had sent her a message that Yan Jinyun wanted to meet Luo Qiu.
This was not the first time Luo Yikun had sent her a message to tell her about Yan Jinyun. This made it difficult for her to ignore Luo Yikun.
She was very curious about Luo Yikun's motive for repeatedly sticking his nose into other people's business and why he would send a message to her phone every time.
Putting aside the fact that Yan Jinyun asked to meet Luo Qiu today, just based on Luo Yikun telling her that Luo Yilin had applied for leave at home yesterday, how was he so sure that she could guess that Luo Yilin would harm Yan Jinyun and had the ability to interfere?
"Oh." Yan Jinyun didn't respond warmly and was even a little cold. However, only she knew how happy she was right now.
It seemed like she was enjoying the feeling of being protected by Yan Jinyu more and more.
She got up and got Yan Jinyu to sit inside. She asked her, "What do you want to drink?" After saying that, she remembered that she was only focused on talking earlier and didn't ask Luo Qiu what she wanted to drink. "Qiu, what about you? What do you want to drink?"
"Just order the one we had when we were here last time," Yan Jinyu replied casually as she sat down.
Luo Qiu wasn't in the mood and replied casually, "The same as yours will do."
Yan Jinyun called the waiter over and ordered the drinks. The two of them sat down too.
Yan Jinyu looked at Luo Qiu, who was sitting opposite her, and said, "I was also present when Yun'er and Feng Yuan were surrounded by Luo Yilin's men in the alley yesterday."
"I beat up Luo Yilin too. He dared to have designs on Yun'er. This is a lesson for him. I wanted to lock him up for a few days so that he can remember this lesson more deeply, but I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to endure it and would be troublesome to deal with, so I only locked him up for one night."
"He should still be hanging on by a thread now, right? That's letting him off easy."
As she spoke, Yan Jinyu still had the same faint smile on her face as before. However, seeing her smile now, how could Luo Qiu still think that her smile could brighten one's mood?
She only felt goosebumps.
Before she could calm down, Yan Jinyu said, "Oh, right. The secret of the Luo Family, which is that Miss Luo isn't Zhang Mei's biological daughter and that Miss Luo's mother is Yu Yao, was discovered by me. Moreover, I was the one who found out that Yu Yao's death was related to Zhang Mei. I was the one who provided the evidence."
She wanted Yan Jinyun to gain more experience, but since she was already here, she had to cooperate with Luo Qiu.
Even though her initial plan was to let Yan Jinyun settle it first. It would be best if she could settle it well. If she couldn't, she would wait for Yan Jinyun to lose control before making a move.
"You… It's you?!"
Yan Jinyu's smile didn't change. It was still faint and harmless. "Miss Luo, why are you so angry? I was the one who found out the truth. Shouldn't Miss Luo thank me? You treated the person who killed your mother as your biological mother and called the enemy your mother for 18 years. Do you still want to continue like this, Miss Luo?"
"Not only did I find out the truth, I even handed over the evidence. Miss Luo has taken your revenge without any effort. Isn't that great?"
"Speaking of which, if it wasn't for the fact that Luo Yilin had designs on Yun'er, I wouldn't even take a second look at your Luo Family, let alone spend the effort to investigate the Luo Family. I happened to find out such a secret."
"Since I've already said so much, I won't beat around the bush anymore. Yun'er asked Miss Luo out today because she wants to discuss a collaboration with Miss Luo. Yun'er will help Miss Luo seize the Luo Family's power. After Miss Luo takes over the Luo Family, you will help the Yan Family."
"Miss Luo, don't be in a hurry to reject me. I know that Huo Xuan's people have contacted you and want to work with you. If you're smart enough, the person you chose to work with shouldn't be Huo Xuan, but Yun'er. Putting aside your relationship with Yun'er, if I didn't want Yun'er to have more opportunities to practise, it would be up to me to decide whether to keep or destroy the Luo Family."
Yan Jinyun, who had never interrupted Yan Jinyu, was slightly shocked. It wasn't because of Yan Jinyu's ability, but because of Yan Jinyu's care and concern for her.
Other than considering her relationship with Feng Yuan and the others with Luo Qiu, there was also such a reason for keeping the Luo Family.
Indeed, although she could take over the Yan Corporation now and had enough confidence to completely resolve those disloyal people in the Yan Corporation in a short period of time, that was all.
Her ability was far from enough to make the Yan Corporation flourish and return to the glory that her grandfather had when he was still alive.
She needed to have more experience to grow.
Yan Jinyun was shocked, and Luo Qiu was even more shocked.
However, she was shocked that Yan Jinyu actually said such "shameless" words.
It was up to her to decide whether the Luo Family would be destroyed or not…
What exactly did Yan Jinyu rely on to dare to say such words?
Did she have such ability herself, or was it because she had Master Nine's confidence?
In fact, Luo Qiu already had an answer in her heart.
Yan Jinyu was the person who had seriously injured Luo Yilin. She could even find out the secret that the Luo Family had hidden for many years…
Perhaps, Yan Jinyu really had the ability to destroy the Luo Family just like that.
Of course, Luo Qiu was curious about why Yan Jinyu was so different from the rumors. However, she didn't have the time to think about this now.
Her heart was in a mess.
Although she did not give a clear answer when the eldest son of the Huo Family came to look for her, she was actually a little tempted.
"Also, cooperating with Yun'er means cooperating with me in a sense. Working with me is equivalent to having the Empire Group as your backer."
Yan Jinyu smiled, "Oh, I forgot to mention that I came from the CEO's office of the Empire Group. Brother Nine already knows that Huo Xuan sent someone to look for you. Miss Luo, you have to think carefully. Are you going to work with the Huo Family and become enemies with the Empire Group or work with the Yan Corporation?"
"…" Luo Qiu. Did she have a choice?
Going against the Empire Group meant going against Master Nine!
She wasn't crazy!
Luo Qiu, who was feeling extremely complicated, was about to give her an answer when Yan Jinyu retracted the smile on her face slightly and said slowly, "Since you're here, why are you hiding? Second Young Master Luo."
After that, a chuckle came from the private room next door and a person walked out. "As expected of the Eldest Miss Yan, who could turn the situation around at a critical moment in the racing arena and seriously injure the other party. I've been silent all this while, but you still noticed me."
