Chapter 228 - Can't Wait Anymore
"Sister-in-law, you're thinking too much. Brother Nine is very active in this aspect. I think the cloakroom in the Mount West Villa should have been prepared by him long ago."
Regarding Yin Jiujin helping her arrange everything that she only needed to care about living her life in peace, it made Yan Jinyu feel warm in her heart, but it also made her feel a little helpless.
She felt that Yin Jiujin was treating her like a child.
Stay at the Mount West Villa?
Brother Nine?
Qin Bailu and Min Sisi looked at Yan Jinyu at the same time.
Did that mean that the two of them stayed together alone last night?
No, not just last night. The two of them had already moved in together in North City..
Then, did they…
Two adults living together would kiss on the streets, let alone when the two of them were alone at home!
That was what Qin Bailu was thinking.
The more she thought about it, the more jealous Qin Bailu became.
As for Min Sisi…
She looked very shocked. It seemed like she was shocked by how Yan Jinyu addressed Yin Jiujin.
"That's good."
"However, since you've returned to the capital, you and Jin'er should stay at home more in the future. Try not to stay at the Mount West Villa as much as possible. I've been to Mount West Villa twice. I keep feeling that it's cold and not lively at all."
Yan Jinyu smiled. "That should be because Brother Nine is often in North City and doesn't often return to the capital. That's why Sister-in-law feels that way."
It was undeniable that the Mount West Villa was indeed not very lively, but after having traces of her and Yin Jiujin living together, it was actually not that cold and deserted.
Didn't they feel very at home after staying there for a night?
Hence, it was obvious that it was not the place itself which was cold and uninhabited, but the people who lived there should be blamed for it.
She felt that as long as the place had her and Yin Jiujin together, it was very good.
She felt a sense of belonging.
It made her feel that she was no longer the person who was drifting outside. She clearly did not lack money, but her heart had nowhere to rest.
The expression in her eyes surprised Qin Jianjia.
She felt that there were too many emotions in her clear eyes.
Qin Jianjia didn't understand, but she felt inexplicably sad.
"No matter what, our family is very lively. Besides, home is also where Jin'er grew up. He has many memories there."
"I know. Thank you, Sister-in-law. We'll go back more often in the future."
Qin Jianjia smiled and then looked at the two people standing at the side. "Bailu and Sisi are here too."
"Eldest Cousin-in-law."
"Sister."
The two of them greeted her.
Min Sisi was polite.
Qin Bailu was a little perfunctory.
Qin Jianjia didn't care and her attitude was just right.
It was neither intimate nor distant.
"Since you're here, let's shop together. Yu'er is a year younger than you guys, and she's about the same age as you guys. Compared to me, she should have more common topics with you guys. Yu'er isn't familiar with the capital, so I'll have to trouble you two to take care of her in the future."
These were completely polite words. In her heart, Qin Jianjia didn't want Yan Jinyu to interact with them too much.
She didn't know Min Sisi well, but Qin Bailu…
…wasn't a good person.
No one knew how evil a person raised by Bai Shuangshuang could be.
Yu'er looked like someone who trusted others easily. She didn't guard against anyone so she didn't want her to be fooled by Qin Bailu's hypocritical appearance.
As for how Qin Jianjia could tell that Yan Jinyu trusted others easily, it was naturally from Yan Jinyu's attitude towards her.
Qin Jianjia knew that Yan Jinyu was quite bold. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to scare Min Qinglan so badly at Mount Jing. However, in her opinion, Yan Jinyu might be being bold but she might not be very scheming. It wasn't impossible for her to be deceived by someone's hypocritical appearance.
"You're welcome, Eldest Cousin-in-law."
"Sister, you're regarding me as an outsider. We're all family. Of course, we should take care of her."
Qin Jianjia smiled faintly and didn't continue, "Let's go upstairs to shop first."
"If Yu'er sees anything you want to buy, just tell Sister-in-law. There's no need to save money for Sister-in-law. This is Jin'er's place. Sister-in-law has a limited edition membership card. It won't cost much to buy things here. Otherwise, we can charge to Jin'er's account. Anyway, he doesn't lack this bit of money. You don't have to save it for him."
Qin Jianjia said this because she was afraid that Yan Jinyu would be embarrassed to spend her money and wouldn't buy anything she liked.
"Of course, if there's really nothing you like, just treat it as shopping and familiarizing yourself with the environment."
Yan Jinyu smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Sister-in-law."
The few of them got into the escalator and went to the second floor.
The second floor was dedicated to jewelry.
After shopping through that entire floor, Yan Jinyu simply looked around but didn't buy anything. On the other hand, Min Sisi and Qin Bailu chose two things each.
"Yu'er, is there really nothing you like?" When she walked out and was about to go to the third floor, Qin Jianjia couldn't help but ask.
"No, I'm just looking at these things. I'm not very interested in these jewelry."
"You said that you're not interested. Why are you wearing that necklace all the time?" Qin Bailu said disdainfully.
When she was trying on the necklace, Qin Jianjia insisted on letting Yan Jinyu try one too. Yan Jinyu couldn't withstand her enthusiasm, so she removed the scarf. Only then did Qin Bailu see the necklace on her neck.
Even when Yan Jinyu tried the necklace, she didn't remove the one on her neck. The pendant was hidden in her clothes, so no one else saw it.
Yan Jinyu smiled at her, "Of course, I'll always wear it because this necklace is Brother Nine's 18th birthday present for me."
"Brother Nine gave it to me. Of course, the meaning is different."
Qin Bailu was even more jealous.
Master Nine's coming-of-age gift!
"Hmph! What are you so smug about? Isn't it just a necklace? I don't think that necklace is very expensive. Master Nine probably bought it at the mall. It might even be something Master Nine got someone to casually prepare for him. It might not take much effort…"
"Bailu!" Qin Jianjia interrupted her unhappily. "What are you talking about!"
This was the first time Qin Jianjia was cold to her. Qin Bailu was shocked.
She was so angry that she almost forgot that Qin Jianjia was still here.
Qin Jianjia was still useful. She couldn't let Qin Jianjia see through her thoughts for the time being.
"I'm sorry. I was angry when I saw that Sister was so enthusiastic about helping her choose, but she didn't like anything."
"What's wrong with that? If she doesn't like anything, it means that Yu'er hasn't seen something she likes. Who said that we have to buy something whenever we go window-shopping? That's just wasting money if she just buys something when she doesn't see anything she likes. Yu'er will be someone who knows how to support her family when she gets married to Jin'er in the future."
"…" Yan Jinyu. You're flattering me. She simply didn't like anything.
She would buy whatever she liked no matter how much money she had to spend. She had done this a lot in the past, but she usually bought things at an underground auction.
Those things that she liked and bought at a high price were all extremely valuable. They had to be stored in the bank's safe.
She didn't seem to know how to control the family budget very well like this.
"Yu'er, don't listen to Bailu's nonsense. We know Jin'er's personality very well. He's not the kind of person who will choose a gift for others. Usually, when the elders at home celebrate their birthdays, he will get the mall to send a gift of good value over. He won't personally prepare a gift for anyone."
"I can tell at a glance that Jin'er meticulously chose this necklace for you."
Was that really the case?
Of course not.
Qin Jianjia had made it up to ease her mind. She was afraid that she would think too much.
Indeed, she could tell that the necklace that Yan Jinyu was wearing was just an ordinary expensive necklace.
She didn't think that Yin Jiujin had spent a lot of effort to prepare it.
In fact, the value of this necklace was something that they could never guess.
"I know," Yan Jinyu said with a smile.
"Miss Yan, can you show us the necklace? After all, according to my sister, Master Nine's' meticulously prepared 'gift is very rare."
Yan Jinyu turned to Qin Bailu and smiled at her. "Why should I show it to you?"
"Speaking of which, it's just a look. It's not a big deal. But I don't like your attitude towards me just now, so even if it's not a big deal, I don't want to do it."
"I just don't want to show it to you. What can you do?"
"Are you even more curious about what gift Brother Nine gave me?"
"Then just keep on being curious."
"…" Qin Bailu.
"…" Qin Jianjia.
She actually said it so directly. If she didn't like it, she didn't like it. If she was unhappy, she was unhappy. She dissed the other party in public without giving her any face.
This temper…
…was indeed formidable.
She couldn't be bothered to feign civility.
No wonder even her mother-in-law was so frightened.
However, this might not be bad. At least, she wouldn't suffer when others bullied her.
Furthermore, Yu'er's words were very insulting!
Only Min Sisi looked deeply at Yan Jinyu, who was smiling as she said this.
Usually, people like Yan Jinyu were the hardest to deal with because you didn't know what she would do in the next second.
Which young lady of the influential families would be like Yan Jinyu, who didn't give anyone a face in public?
Even the most unruly daughter of a wealthy family might not speak like her. Be it for herself or for her family, most people would choose to maintain a superficial friendliness with others.
Did Yan Jinyu really not know the pros and cons of this, or was she too fearless and didn't care if she would offend someone?
It would be fine if it was the former, but if it was the latter, what was she relying on to do that?
Relying on her second cousin as her backing?
There was also another thing. Yan Jinyu actually had a smile on her face when she said these insulting words. It made people unable to tell if she was joking or really angry.
As Min Sisi was thinking, Yan Jinyu suddenly looked at her and smiled with narrowed eyes. "Miss Min, do you want to take a look? You're not as annoying as Qin Bailu. Anyway, it's not a big deal. If you want to take a look, I can show you."
"After all, it's very difficult for you to have the chance to see Brother Nine's meticulously prepared gift."
Min Sisi looked at her and smiled faintly. "There's no need to. Bailu will be angry with me then."
"Bailu, you're really too much. We agreed to accompany Miss Yan and shop together. We chose a few items when Miss Yan didn't buy anything. It's already rude, but you still said such rude words."
"Everyone's personal preferences are different. Perhaps, Eldest Miss Yan doesn't like these jewelry. The Empire Mall is very big. If we shop slowly, we will definitely see something of Eldest Miss Yan's fancy."
"Also, that's my second cousin's birthday present to Miss Yan. It's too rude of you to ask her to show it to you so directly."
"It's just a look. How am I being rude?" Qin Bailu snorted inwardly. Min Sisi was like that. She was used to pretending to be a good person!
"It's indeed not considered rude, but I'm just unwilling to show it to you. What can you do about it?"
"You…!"
Qin Bailu gritted her teeth and was about to raise her finger to point at her when she met Yan Jinyu's smiling eyes. She froze and couldn't raise her hand.
Again!
It was like this the last time!
Yan Jinyu was looking at her with such a gaze that made her flee in fear.
And now, she was cold from fear again.
She kept feeling that Yan Jinyu's gaze was very scary!
No! She couldn't wait anymore!
She couldn't wait a second longer!
She felt that something would happen if she waited any longer!
