The return of the Eldest Miss Badas

76

Among the servants in the Yan Family, Zhao Ling was the one who interacted with Yan Jinyu the most.

Zhao Ling had been feared by her gaze before, so when she met her smiling eyes, Zhao Ling's heart panicked and she quickly lowered her head.

She had a feeling that Missy had seen through her intentions.

Panic turned to fear.

"Y-yes."

Yan Jinyu stared at him until her palms broke out in cold sweat. Then, he smiled and handed the flower to her. "Find a vase and put it in my room."

Would her parents wait for her to eat dinner? They were not having dinner this time probably because of her aunt and Yan Jinyun. However, they did not call to remind him and just waited in silence. This made Yan Jinyu's mood a little strange.

Zhao Ling quickly picked it up. "Yes." Yeah." The fear in his heart towards Yan Jinyu did not diminish at all due to her smile. His attitude became more respectful.

In the living room of the main building of the Yan Family.

There were some people sitting on the sofa.

As Yan Jinyu walked in, everyone stared at her. He smiled gently. "Everybody here." He slightly nodded to Yan Ruyu, who looked relieved after seeing him. "Auntie."

"Yuer is back. Have you had dinner?"

"Yet. Auntie, what about you?"

"No! We're all waiting for you! You know everyone is waiting, but you're just back at the moment. There are no rules..." Fu Ya wanted to scold him for being naughty again. He only stopped when some unkind gazes swept over.

Other than Yan Jinyun and Yan Ruyu, there was also Yan Qingyu.

Although everyone knew that Yan Jinyu had left with Yin Jiujin, only Yan Qingyu knew the meaning behind it.

Without a doubt, after this incident, Yan Jinyu became even more important in Yan Qingyu's heart.

Not everyone can know Mr. Nine's itinerary, and not everyone can rush to the airport to pick him up after knowing his itinerary. Not only was he disliked by Master Nine, but he was also taken away by Master Nine.

The Nine Lord probably valued his eldest daughter more than he thought.

He was already at odds with his eldest daughter. He could not let her have any more hatred for them.

Seeing Fu Ya silent, Yan Ruyu retracted her sharp gaze. When she saw Yan Jinyu, although there was no smile on her face, her expression was clearly much softer. "We're not hungry yet. It just so happens we haven't seen you in years. I want to eat with you, so I wait a minute."

"Food is prepared in the kitchen. Since Jinyu is back, let's move to the dining room." Yan Qingyu glanced at Yan Jinyu after saying that.

He saw that he still had a faint smile on his face. His eyes were clear, but for some reason, he let out an unexpected feeling.

Is he thinking too much?

He probably just thought that since he was with Mister Nine today, it was inevitable that he would unconsciously stare at her like he was looking at Mister Nine. That's why he felt like he couldn't see through it, right?

Yan Ruyu stood up and looked at Yu Xiao, who remained silent at the side with her eyes looking around. "Wash your hands and let's eat."

Yu Xiao was young but he was not stupid. He knew how his uncle and aunt treated his older cousin.

He was young and there was no place for him to interrupt the conversation between the elders. Other than feeling sorry for him, he could do nothing.

He could only be quiet.

After Yan Ruyu called Yu Xiao, she looked at Yan Jinyu. "Yu'er just came back from the outside. Go and wash your hands too."

Yan Jinyu smiled and nodded. "Good."

"I'll go too!" Yan Jinyun no matter how surprised Yan Ruyu was, she turned around and followed Yan Jinyu.

After a long while, Yan Ruyu recovered from her shock and said to Yu Wen, "Let's go to the dining room first." He did not know if he was feeling more emotional or relieved.

On the other hand, Yan Jinyun, who had caught up with Yan Jinyu, hesitated for a moment before saying, "K-you... Why you... Are you with Master Nine today?"

She originally wanted to ask Yan Jinyu where she was today, but she felt wrong saying it out loud. This would make it seem like he cared a lot about Yan Jinyu. He changed the topic and wanted to ask why he came back so late. However, he realized that if he were to ask this, it seemed that he was even more concerned about Yan Jinyu. Therefore, he changed the topic again.

Although he still felt that it was a little inappropriate after asking, he was unable to find another topic to discuss with Yan Jinyu.

Yan Jinyu raised her eyebrows and slowed down at the same time, "Yes, what's up?"

"No, nothing." He felt his tone was a bit weak, so he raised his voice slightly. "I'm just asking. May I ask?"

"Yes, of course." Yan Jinyu smiled. "Why are you asking about this?"

"You ... I heard that you told Father and Mother that when Mr. Nine returned, you will move out of the Yan Family and pay them for your living expenses in the Yan Family during this period of time. Is that true?" Yan Jinyun could not contain her anger when she mentioned this.

God knew how angry he was when he heard those words!

When Yan Jinyu heard that, her smile faded. "Who told you that?"

Yan Jinyun originally still had a hint of hope, but when she saw this, her heart fell. "So this is true?! You really said that?!"

Yu Xiao slowed down and stiffened his ears.

However, he had to listen in more detail so that he could make his "report".

This was a task given to him by his mother. He wanted her to know more about how his uncle and aunt treated his eldest cousin from others in the Yan Family during this period of time.

He knows why his mother did this. He had seen the deception of his uncle and aunt and did not believe it. He wanted to know how his older cousin in the Yan Family was doing.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Who told you that?" Yan Jinyu's face no longer had an ordinary smile, and her gaze was slightly sharp.

Gazing at his eyes, Yan Jinyun felt an inexplicable fear. "Why do you care who told me? Why are you doing this? Don't you know that if you really do this, the Yan Family will lose face?"

"Yes! I know that Mom and Dad .. treated you a little badly. It is understandable that you hate them, but the Yan Family was founded by our ancestors. Our grandparents valued the Yan Family very much when they were alive? If you do this…"

"If something makes you angry, our family can solve it behind closed doors. No need to embarrass the Yan Family ..."

"The face of the Yan Family isn't something I can lose just because I want to," Yan Jinyu interrupted him.

Yan Jinyun was not stupid. Instead, he is very clever.

He understood what Yan Jinyu meant.

If his parents were not to overdo it, even if Yan Jinyu wanted to, he would not be able to find an opportunity to humiliate the Yan Family. Ever since his parents treated Yan Jinyu so badly, it was already doomed that the Yan Family would lose all their face, even if Yan Jinyu did nothing.

Outsiders had no idea what his parents were like during the kidnapping back then. Now that Yan Jinyu—who had been missing for 16 years—had returned, his parents couldn't even solve his little problem to continue school. The outside world might have been seen through his parents a long time ago.

The Yan family had lost its face long ago.

However, he still did not want Yan Jinyu to do that. If Yan Jinyu really did that, wouldn't that mean that the relationship between Yan Jinyu and the Yan Family would end here?

He had always known that Yan Jinyu looked down on the assets of the Yan Family. Perhaps, Yan Jinyu did not even take her blood related relatives seriously.

As long as they don't blow it all up, there's still room for negotiation. Once Yan Jinyu had publicly moved out of the Yan Family and paid her parents for her living expenses during this period of time, it was equivalent to Yan Jinyu and the Yan Family breaking up completely.

Yan Jinyu did not even want to spend a single cent of the Yan Family's money. It just has an extra person living in the house. He had no idea why his parents wanted to force him this far!

Yan Jinyu was obviously very pitiful.

They had forced Yan Jinyu so far, yet her father actually wanted her to think of a way to persuade Yan Jinyu not to do so.

Persuading?!

What right does he have to persuade her?

They were obviously twins, and even he, the related party, felt extremely angry with such a disparity in treatment. This injustice made him feel guilty.

He was not a good person, nor would he show sympathy to an insignificant person. He will eradicate anyone who will affect his interests. However, he made an exception for Yan Jinyu!

"Also, I don't hate them."

"You're wrong about one thing. Since they didn't treat me as their daughter, I'm no longer family with them. If the Yan Family really lost face, it wasn't me who caused it."

Yan Jinyun pursed her lips tightly. "So, no matter what happens, you'll do this, right?" After asking, his eyes turned red.

Looking at Yan Jinyun, Yan Jinyu's eyes slightly flickered.

Yan Jinyun could not see Yan Jinyu's expression after she continued walking in front. She only heard him say, "The decision to get out of the Yan Family will not change, but I will find a suitable reason. I already said that I will pay the living expenses in the Yan Family during this period of time, so I will definitely pay for it. However, I will pay when no one else is around."

"You…"

"It's time to wash your hands and eat. Otherwise, Auntie and Uncle would have to wait."

However, Yan Jinyun stood at the same spot and did not follow him.

The guilt in his heart grew.

Yan Jinyu had already done many things. He has repaid evil with good.

If it was him, he would definitely not be so generous.

Then, how could he still have the face to persuade Yan Jinyu not to do this?

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Yu Xiao, who had forgotten that he eavesdropped, hurriedly stepped forward. He did not know if it was because he was too shocked or something else, but now he was moving forward as tight as a puppet.

What should he describe about his uncle's family?

As expected of a wealthy family, it was like watching a show.

How exactly did his older cousin manage to say those words so calmly?

He was filled with admiration.

But still it's heartbreaking.

He's only 15. Why did he have to feel such complicated emotions?

It was a little unbearable for him.
