Downstairs.

After Qin Jianjia and Min Qinglan went downstairs together, she saw that Min Qinglan was flustered and kept mumbling something.

Yin Yuhan frowned and quickly stood up to ask, “What’s wrong, Mom?”

Yin Wuzhan also stood up from the sofa.

Qin Jianjia shook her head. “I don’t know.”

When Min Qinglan saw Yin Yuhan, she let go of Qin Jianjia’s hand and went over to grab his arm, “Han’er, let’s go back to the capital. We’ll go back right now!”

“Why do you suddenly want to go back? It’s Jin’er’s birthday today. Didn’t I say to have a good meal with Jin’er and return tomorrow morning? Besides, it’s already so late.” Yin Wuzhan’s tone was slightly unhappy.

It was already past five in the afternoon. Even if they could book the latest flight, it would be very late when they reached the capital.

“I don’t care. I want to go back now!”

“You’re simply unreasonable. Are you a child? You’re already so old, but you’re still so willful. Today is your son’s birthday!”

“Dad, don’t be angry first. Something must have happened to Mom.”

As he spoke, Yin Yuhan looked at Qin Jianjia. “Is that Jin’er?”

Although she didn’t ask in detail, Qin Jianjia understood what he meant.

He was asking her if she was frightened by Yin Jiujin’s sudden anger.

Qin Jianjia shook her head. “No, when I went upstairs, Mom just came out of Yu’er’s room. Jin’er was still in the study at that time. Weren’t you and Dad sitting in the living room? Why didn’t you look after Mom and let her go upstairs?”

Without caring if Min Qinglan was present, Qin Jianjia simply said what she wanted to say.

She had only gone to the kitchen to help and see what dishes she wanted to make for the evening. In that short while, she heard that her mother-in-law had gone upstairs.

It was Yan Jinyu’s room. It wasn’t convenient for the two men to look in it, so they let her go upstairs to take a look.

Hearing her words, Yin Yuhan and Yin Wuzhan were speechless.

They clearly saw Min Qinglan going out for a walk. They did not know how she sneaked back and went upstairs.

By the time they realized it, she was almost upstairs.

“Jin’er went to visit Yu’er. There’s no commotion now. She should be fine.”

“Then, why is Mom… so frightened?”

Just as Yin Yuhan finished asking, Min Qinglan shouted in shock and fear, “She wants to kill me! She wants to kill me! Return to the capital immediately. Return now. I don’t want to stay here any longer!”

“What?!” The three of them exclaimed in shock.

If the three of them had not heard it at the same time, they would have thought that they had heard wrongly.

After calming down, Qin Jianjia’s lips twitched. That smiling girl wanted to kill someone?

“Mom, did you see wrongly?”

Min Qinglan glared at her. “I didn’t. She wants to kill me! No, she’s threatening me. She said that if it wasn’t for the fact that I’m Jin’er’s mother, I would have long been a corpse. She’s not as simple as she looks at all. Her gaze is sinister and terrifying. She’s obviously killed someone before. Our Yin Family… I don’t care anymore. I don’t care about their matters anymore. I want to return to the capital now!”

The three of them looked at each other.

How frightened was she that she had forgotten all about matching status? Did she give up on meddling in her son’s marriage?

They were still thinking about how to guard against her in the future.

However, the three of them did not think that she was lying when she said that.

She was so frightened that she couldn’t have made it up.

However, they didn’t believe that Yan Jinyu wanted to kill someone. They only felt that Yan Jinyu had a temper and Min Qinglan was simply bullied and threatened by her.

Hence, even though they were surprised, the three of them did not suspect anything.

“Since you said that you don’t care, remember what you said. Don’t look for trouble all day long.”

Although it was a little beyond his understanding, Yin Wuzhan already felt that Yan Jinyu, who Yin Jiujin had taken a fancy to, wasn’t simple. At this moment, he was only shocked at the beginning when he heard Min Qinglan’s words. He didn’t think much of it after he reacted.

It was good for her to have some temper and courage since she was going to marry into the Yin Family in the future. She would not be bullied outside. After all, she did not have a family background to back her up. If she did not have any courage, her life in the capital would be very difficult.

“We’ll talk about returning to the capital tomorrow. If you really don’t want to stay here, Little You will get someone to clean the guest room in the small building at the back and you shall go back to your room to rest first. I specially rushed over from the capital for my son’s birthday. How could we go back without having a meal? Is this how you behave as his mother?”

Of course, the lunch did not count. At that time, they didn’t know that they were coming over and didn’t prepare much food. In addition, the atmosphere at that time…

After all, to the Yin Family, it was not an official meal.

However, she did not know which of Yin Wuzhan’s words touched Min Qinglan, but she suddenly fell silent.

The fear in her eyes had yet to dissipate. “I-I’ll go and rest first. Get someone to call me later.”

“I’ll send Mom back to her room.” Qin Jianjia walked forward and gave Yin Yuhan a look, asking him to pay attention to the situation upstairs.

Yin Yuhan felt a little helpless. How was he to pay attention to the situation upstairs?

It was not convenient for him to go up.

However, he still gave Qin Jianjia a reassuring look.

Only Yin Wuzhan and Yin Yuhan were in the living room. The two of them sat back on the sofa.

“Dad, what do you think about this?”

“Don’t worry about it. With your mother’s personality, she deserves to be treated like this.”

“But I keep feeling that it’s a little too much. No matter how different a young lady is from the rumors, she shouldn’t be able to say that ‘she’s already a corpse’. Besides, she looks so innocent and harmless.”

“If even we think that she’s innocent and harmless on the surface, but she’s actually someone who can scare my mother with just a few words, then isn’t she very scheming…”

Yin Yuhan did not continue.

He suddenly realized it was inappropriate for him to talk about his brother’s fiancée like that.

“What’s wrong with being scheming? Must she be like your mother? Fortunately, she grew up in the Min Family and then married into the Yin Family. Otherwise, how could she have survived until now with her stupid brain?”

Yin Yuhan’s lips twitched. He couldn’t respond to that.

Although it was not appropriate for his son to say that, he still felt that his mother was indeed a little confused sometimes.

Their family was very careful, afraid that they would anger Jin’er again. However, she was the one who was always doing the opposite. Those who didn’t know better would think that she wished to become enemies with Jin’er.

“Then… should we just leave it like this?”

“Jin’er knows his limits,” Yin Wuzhan said. “The little girl simply has a temper. She couldn’t take it and said some harsh words in a moment of anger. How could she really dare to kill someone? Your mother is just making a fuss over nothing. Think about it. Back then, Jin’er could even scare her to such an extent when he handled the criminal. It’s obvious how timid she was.”

“I’ve never seen a mother who’s afraid of her son. Your mother… Forget it. Whenever I talk about this, I get a headache. I wonder what I liked about your mother back then.”

Yin Yuhan, “…Perhaps, my mother’s personality was more direct when she was young. She was clear about her likes and dislikes?” If she liked someone, she liked them. If she didn’t like someone, she just didn’t like them. She didn’t even want to pretend. Wasn’t her just being honest about her true nature?

“You sure know how to use words. What do you mean by distinguishing between her like and dislike? She’s just stupid. She can’t tell if the situation is good or bad and she can’t judge clearly. Let’s get Jianjia to watch over her more. Don’t let her find trouble for no reason. The longer she lives, the stupider she gets. She’s not even as sensible as her own daughter-in-law!”

“…” Yin Yuhan.

***

With Qin Jianjia’s help, Aunt Cheng prepared the dinner. Yin Jiujin led Yan Jinyu downstairs after dinner was ready.

When they arrived at the dining room, the Yin Family members were already sitting at the dining table. Min Qinglan was naturally there too.

However, Min Qinglan mostly lowered her head. Even if she raised her head occasionally, she didn’t dare to look at Yan Jinyu. Even if she accidentally met Yan Jinyu’s gaze, she would still avoid it in a panic.

The meal ended “peacefully” just like that.

The next morning, the Yin Family returned to the capital.

It was still dark outside when they left.

Anyway, Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin didn’t get up.

Yan Jinyu had moved to Yin Jiujin’s room last night. The two of them hugged each other and slept until dawn.

Hearing the sound of the car engine starting, Yan Jinyu woke up. She rubbed her eyes and got out of Yin Jiujin’s embrace. She pressed the watch on her left wrist with her right hand. The screen lit up, and she could see the time on it.

5:40 am.

Yin Jiujin woke up as soon as she woke up. He leaned over and pecked her forehead. “What time is it?”

“5:40 am. Your parents seem to be leaving. Aren’t you going to send them off?”

“No.” They probably didn’t want to see him since they left so early.

However, Yin Jiujin didn’t say that.

“Sleep a little longer?” He pulled her into his arms.

Yesterday should have been the most emotional day Yin Jiujin had ever experienced. Even now, he still had a lingering fear.

Hence, he was exceptionally clingy.

1

To be precise, he was exceptionally clingy to Yan Jinyu.

“I can’t sleep anymore. You go back to sleep.”

She wanted to get up as she spoke, but Yin Jiujin refused to let go. “Sleep with me for a while more?”

He nudged the tip of his nose against her cheek as he said. There was a hint of coquettishness in his intimacy. Yan Jinyu sighed and lay back down.

“Then I’ll sleep for another 20 minutes.”

Yin Jiujin kissed her face in satisfaction. “Okay.”

20 minutes was indeed 20 minutes. Not a minute more or less, because Yan Jinyu’s phone on the bedside table rang.

The call came at six o’clock sharp. The caller obviously knew her schedule.

Yin Jiujin wasn’t asleep. When he heard the phone ring, he reached out to help her take her phone.

Yin Jiujin frowned when he saw that the caller ID was “Little Rain.”

It seemed like he had to call Qin Hao and ask him to control his woman and not disturb others when they were sleeping.

He had originally planned to not wake up early today and sleep in with the girl in his arms.

“Who’s calling?”

“Huo Siyu.” He was unhappy, but his tone did not show it.

After all, they had already learned their lesson.

Yan Jinyu paused before taking the phone from him.

There must be something important for Little Rain to call at this time.

“Little Rain.”

“Beauty Yu, are you up?”

“Yes. You called me at this time so what’s the matter?”

“Beauty Yu, I think you’re coming to be my companion. Then, we’ll suffer together.”

“…?” Yan Jinyu.

“Beauty Yu, go to school. Then, come to the Imperial Capital University to keep me company.”

Yan Jinyu, “…Did you call me early in the morning to say this?”

“Hehehe, of course not. I’m just saying something to ease the tension before we talk about the serious topics.”

“The tension hasn’t been eased by you.”

“Alright, alright. I know you don’t like school as much as me.”

Then, Huo Siyu became serious. “Alright, let’s get down to business.”
