Chapter 374: A Ruthless Lesson
The servant was feeling smug. She happily thought that if she handed over such a good thing, the Old Madam would definitely remember her great contribution.
Unfortunately, before she could finish speaking, someone quickly moved forward and grabbed her neck.
As the smile on Xi Fengling's face intensified and the killing intent in her eyes suddenly appeared, Yan Jinyu attacked first.
She grabbed the servant's neck.
Why did Yan Jinyu make a move?
Naturally, she didn't want Xi Fengling to leave a ruthless impression in front of her biological mother the first time they met.
After all, first impressions were very important.
The servant's neck was grabbed, so she couldn't hold the gift box properly. Yan Jinyu reached out her other hand and caught it steadily.
"Snatching things?"
A hint of bloodlust flashed past Yan Jinyu's eyes. She sneered softly, "How dare you snatch our things in front of us!"
Her neck was already being held, and it was difficult for her to breathe. When she sensed Yan Jinyu's killing intent, the servant was so frightened that she forgot to plead for mercy.
Feng Qin and Feng Xiangxiang were already angry that the gift was snatched away in front of their guests. Before they could reprimand her, Yan Jinyu attacked.
It was so fast.
Her slender figure easily lifted a servant who weighed 60kg by the neck!
It seemed like she would strangle her to death in the next second. It took them a long time to recover after seeing such ruthless methods.
"J-Jinyu…" Feng Qin's voice was a little trembling. It was unknown if she was shocked or frightened.
"Alright, Beauty Yu, don't kill her first. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if we attract the Feng Family's members over."
She didn't want to go against the Feng Family for the time being. Other than finding out her background, they still had to stay in the Feng Family to observe them and find an opportunity to get rid of all their enemies.
When Yan Jinyu heard Xi Fengling's words, she let go of the servant.
Did the servant think that was it?
Of course not.
Even if she couldn't kill her, it was still necessary to teach her a lesson.
Hence, the moment Yan Jinyu let go, she kicked the servant in the stomach, sending her flying!
She did not know if the servant had already fainted, but she just lay face-down on the ground for a long time.
Under Feng Qin, Feng Xiangxiang's surprised gaze, Yan Jinyu smiled extremely innocently. Her eyes were clear and clean. "Auntie, since this is a gift Meimei prepared for you, I think it must have taken a lot of effort. You should accept it."
She handed the gift box over.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that the ruthless person was the same person as the innocent girl in front of them.
"Th-thank you." Feng Xiangxiang took it in a daze.
Glancing at the servant who was still lying on the ground, Feng Xiangxiang hesitated and said, "J-Jinyu, will she be fine?"
Yan Jinyu smiled faintly. "Auntie, don't worry. I control my strength very well. I won't kill her."
"B-But why isn't she… up yet?"
"Auntie, don't worry. She simply fainted. She'll wake up on her own when she recovers."
The servant who was forced to serve breakfast saw the situation outside and was so frightened that she quickly hid in the kitchen and didn't dare to look anymore.
She actually spoke rudely to such a ruthless person just now. If this girl had attacked her at that time, she…
The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became.
She quickly did her work obediently.
Seeing Xi Fengling's insistent look, Feng Xiangxiang held the ginseng and hesitated for a moment. In the end, she couldn't reject her.
"T-then Auntie will accept it. I've let you spend money."
"Just accept it," Xi Fengling said. "I heard from Little Feng Qin that Auntie made breakfast personally. I wonder if it's ready? Beauty Yu and I woke up early so we're really a little hungry."
"Yes, yes. Please come in. I'll go to the kitchen to get them now."
She carefully closed the gift box and hugged the ginseng. "Sit down first. Qin'er and I will go to the kitchen to serve breakfast."
She cherished this gift not because of its value, but because of the person who gave it to her.
Feng Xiangxiang's emotions were very complicated now.
There was surprise and bewilderment…
However, overall, it was more of a surprise.
Even without a paternity test or saying a few more words, she had a hunch that this was her daughter!
Of course, calling Feng Qin to the kitchen to help was an excuse. She had something to ask Feng Qin.
After the two of them entered the kitchen, they sent the trembling servant out and got her to take over the job of the servant who had fainted outside and cleaned the courtyard.
The servant didn't want to stay here any longer either. She was afraid that the ruthless Yan Jinyu would remember her offense and come to settle the score with her.
She quickly slipped out of the kitchen like a thief and tried her best to avoid the dining room.
She did not dare to get too close to the two people sitting at the dining table.
At this moment, in the kitchen.
"Qin'er, w-what should we do with this? If your grandmother sees it, she'll definitely take it for herself. I don't care about anything else, but this is a gift from Fengling. Whether it's valuable or not, I don't want it to fall into someone else's hands."
"Mom, don't worry first. If they really dare to have any ideas, just say that this is Jinyu and Sister Fengling's greeting gift to you. Repeat that this is Jinyu's greeting gift. Say that Jinyu gave it to you to nourish your body and tell them Jinyu also said that she will visit you again when she has the time in the future. If the Feng Family has brains, they probably won't take this gift for themselves."
Feng Xiangxiang frowned slightly. "Are you… asking me to borrow Jinyu's influence?"
"The Feng Family is afraid of Jinyu? Who exactly is Jinyu?"
"The Yan Family in North City."
Feng Xiangxiang was surprised. "S-she's…"
"That's right. She's the eldest daughter of the Yan Family who was found last year. However, let's not talk about this first in case Grandmother…"
Feng Xiangxiang understood what she meant.
"So Mom, if you really can't, just say that this was given by Jinyu and reveal Jinyu's identity. With Jinyu's identity, as long as the Feng Family has brains, they won't dare to mess around."
Feng Xiangxiang nodded.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Fengling…"
Feng Qin suddenly felt down and shook her head. "I'm not sure yet. I hope she's my sister so that your wish for many years can be realized. But even if she is, Mom, I've said before that we can't acknowledge her even if she's my sister. So, you have to control your emotions when the time comes."
"I'm planning to secretly do a paternity test."
"…Don't worry. Mom knows her limits." Feng Xiangxiang didn't feel good that she couldn't acknowledge her daughter.
However, she knew the seriousness of the matter.
Compared to dragging her elder daughter into the Feng Family's mess, she would rather endure the pain of not being able to acknowledge her daughter.
"Bring the breakfast out first so that they won't suspect us."
As soon as Feng Qin finished speaking, Feng Xiangxiang said curiously, "But that's not right. Qin'er, since Jinyu is the eldest daughter of the Yan Family in North City, why would she specially choose to stay in the Feng Family when she's here to travel? Even if she doesn't stay in a hotel, she should have many more suitable places to go. Although the Feng Family and the Yin Family didn't fall out openly, everyone knows that the Feng Family and the Yin Family aren't on good terms."
"You should have heard about your eldest uncle being forced to leave home by your grandmother and then marrying the beloved daughter of the Yin Family."
"Could it be that Jinyu's relationship with you is so good that she has ignored the relationship between the Feng Family and the Yin Family and even stayed at the Feng Family for her vacation?"
Feng Qin shook her head. "Of course not."
"I've met her twice before this. Our relationship is just so-so."
Actually, she had long felt that it was strange that they had chosen to stay in the Feng Family on their vacation, even though this was Min Rufeng's suggestion.
It was not safe for them to stay in a hotel, but the Feng Family was not the only family in Cloud City. There were many places where they could stay. Why did Min Rufeng insist on letting them stay in the Feng Family?
Just because she, the granddaughter of the Feng Family, knew them?
Feng Qin thought that was impossible.
She felt that she wasn't that important.
However, she temporarily put these doubts aside.
Sister Fengling coming to the Feng Family was exactly what she wanted.
She was very happy, so she subconsciously didn't probe further.
"Since your relationship is only so-so, why did they choose to stay in the Feng Family? They even prepared such a valuable greeting gift for me. Qin'er, do you think Fengling is really my daughter and your sister, and she already knows about our existence? Did she specially come to find out?"
Feng Qin was stunned.
It was possible.
Then, the two of them carried the breakfast out with complicated emotions.
After taking out the breakfast, Feng Xiangxiang looked at Xi Fengling deeply and let them eat first. She then went upstairs to put the ginseng Xi Fengling had given her away.
Of course, that was an excuse.
It was an excuse to ease her emotions alone.
"Have breakfast first. My mother's culinary skills are not bad. You guys eat first."
Yan Jinyu took a sip of porridge. It indeed tasted good. However, Xi Fengling looked at the sumptuous breakfast in front of her and didn't move for a long time.
Seeing her like this, Yan Jinyu called her, "Meimei."
Xi Fengling came back to her senses.
"If you don't eat it, it'll get cold," Yan Jinyu said with a faint smile.
"Oh, I'll eat now."
However, the more she ate, the more flustered she felt.
It was not that it was not delicious, nor was it so delicious that she had never eaten such delicious food before. It was just that this food gave her a very different feeling.
This was the first time she had eaten something cooked by her family member since she had her memories.
Back then, the director of the orphanage said that she was abandoned outside the orphanage when she was just a few months old. If she wasn't lucky, she might not have survived.
Feng Qin held the spoon tightly and tried her best not to show her emotions. She asked with a smile, "How does it taste? Is it very delicious?"
"Yes," Xi Fengling replied gloomily.
However, Yan Jinyu smiled and praised, "It's very delicious. Auntie's culinary skills are very good."
When Feng Xiangxiang went downstairs, the few of them had already finished breakfast.
They did not leave immediately. Instead, they sat on the sofa in the living room.
Feng Qin thought that they were waiting for Feng Xiangxiang to go downstairs and greet her before leaving.
In reality, they were indeed waiting for Feng Xiangxiang to come downstairs. However, they were not just here to greet her.
"Have you eaten? Is it enough? If it's not enough, I'll make more." After going upstairs to ease up for a while, Feng Xiangxiang's emotions had calmed down.
"It's enough. The breakfast is also very delicious. Thank you, Auntie," Yan Jinyu thanked her politely.
"It's good that it's delicious. You two can come here for breakfast for the next few days. I'll make it for you."
"Thank you, Auntie." Yan Jinyu smiled, but Xi Fengling remained silent.
Feng Xiangxiang's gaze landed on Xi Fengling and she said hesitantly, "I heard from Qin'er that you guys want to go out?"
