The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned - Chapter 257

Chapter 257: Testing Out

“That’s right. Those damn people aren’t all dead yet.” After saying that, Yan Jinyu ignored Huo Xuan and turned to enter the private room.

Even when she walked into the private room and the soundproof glass door was closed for a long time, Huo Xuan was still staring in that direction.

Everything was piling up. He was a little confused now.

Rainy’s identity reminded him of Rainy’s past experiences and Yan Jinyu’s words made his heart skip a beat again.

Damn people?

Other than Ghost Slaughter and the others, he could not think of anyone else.

So, was Rainy in danger at any time?

If Rainy was in danger, didn’t that mean that Yan Jinyu was also in danger?

Other than Rainy, there was actually another person he was worried about.

That person was protected by someone, so he did not need to worry too much about her.

After a long while, Huo Xuan retracted his gaze that was staring at the glass door. He turned around and held the railing with one hand while holding a handkerchief to his lips with the other. He coughed softly and looked at the pedestrians on the road downstairs. For a moment, he felt unprecedented loneliness.

Because of his body’s condition, he never thought too much about anything else. Most of his attention was on the development of the Huo Corporation. Other than occasionally feeling a little disappointed after having his expectations destroyed again and again during his seeking of medical treatment, he never had any other emotions.

Indeed, once he saw the hope of life, he would want more things.

Unfortunately, when he finally noticed a girl, she already belonged to someone else.

His upbringing did not allow him to interfere in other people’s relationships either, unless that person was doing very badly.

Forget it. Perhaps he would have this illness for 30 years until his life ended. Since he had the time to think about this, he might as well think about how to help Rainy resolve the trouble.

He didn’t even dare to think about how Rainy had survived all these years.

Ghost Slaughter Island.

He wanted to meet them!

***

When Yan Jinyu returned to the private room, Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling had already returned.

Yan Jinyu glanced at them and thought to herself, If they weren’t here, these two people probably wouldn’t have appeared so quickly.

“Why aren’t you wearing a scarf when you go out?” Everyone in the private room looked up at her when they saw her return to the private room. It was Min Rufeng who spoke first.

“Yes, Beauty Yu, you’re too careless. You thought that we were still in North City. The winter in the capital is very cold.” As she spoke, Huo Siyu waved at her. “Come and have some hot water to warm up.”

Xi Fengling pressed the bell and asked the waiter to bring a glass of hot water over.

Yan Jinyu smiled and walked to sit next to Huo Siyu.

This was Huo Xuan’s seat earlier.

“Whose call is it? You took so long,” Huo Siyu asked.

Yan Jinyu didn’t say anything and just smiled at her.

Huo Siyu dragged out a long “Oh”.

“I knew it. With your personality, how could you make a call for so long? After all, you usually hang up after finishing your business. So it’s your Brother Nine.”

“Not very long. About 10 minutes.”

“That’s long enough.” As she spoke, Huo Siyu’s gaze paused. She stared at Yan Jinyu’s neck and her eyes widened. “B-Beauty Yu, you…”

Beauty Yu was wearing a scarf earlier and had sat further away from her after entering the private room, so she didn’t see it.

Now that she saw it…

It was impossible to leave such a mark if they hadn’t been too intense.

Beauty Yu and Yin Jiujin…

Yan Jinyu didn’t say anything and just smiled indifferently at her.

Huo Siyu fell silent.

Forget it. Beauty Yu was not a naive girl who knew nothing. She naturally had her own ideas. Since Beauty Yu was willing to do it, she would not interfere anymore.

Meanwhile, Yin Jiujin…

If he dared to let Beauty Yu down in the future, she would definitely not let him off even if she had to risk her life.

Qin Hao also glanced at Yan Jinyu indifferently.

He felt rather emotional.

With Second Yin’s indifferent and restrained personality, he had actually reached such a stage. It seemed like he really cared deeply about the eldest daughter of the Yan Family.

Xi Fengling took the hot water from the waiter and handed it to Yan Jinyu.

She was sitting at the side so she naturally saw Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu’s interaction. However, her reaction wasn’t as big as Huo Siyu’s.

Probably because she had experienced it before, she felt that this was all within her expectations.

Most importantly, she knew Beauty Yu’s temper.

Could Yin Jiujin touch Beauty Yu if she wasn’t willing?

Perhaps it was Beauty Yu who had taken advantage of Yin Jiujin.

Anyway, with Yin Jiujin’s face, Beauty Yu wasn’t at a disadvantage.

They were calm, but Min Sisi, who was sitting on the other side, was not.

Her thoughts were all on guarding against Yan Jinyu just now. She was afraid that she would accidentally expose a flaw in front of Yan Jinyu, so she didn’t have the mood to pay attention to anything else.

Hence, she didn’t notice it even when she was sitting beside Yan Jinyu.

She only realized it when Huo Siyu spoke.

She clenched her fists and tried her best to suppress her anger.

Actually, she didn’t have any deep feelings for Yin Jiujin. It was just that the Yin Family had an outstanding status in the capital. If she had to marry someone, the man she was going to marry had to be outstanding himself and in his family background.

Besides, that person wanted her to marry into the Yin Family.

That person had been planning for her since she was very young.

The Yin Family’s background matched her requirements for her other half and Yin Jiujin was also an outstanding person.

Of course, she would care when someone whom she had already included in her life plan was so intimate with another woman.

However, it didn’t matter. How many people in a relationship would end up in a marriage eventually?

Even though Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin were so intimate now, the person who would stay by Yin Jiujin’s side for the rest of his life might not be Yan Jinyu.

Let Yan Jinyu be smug for a while first!

Yan Jinyu leaned lazily on the sofa and took a sip of water. She narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced at Min Sisi.

Tsk, she sure hid it well.

Unfortunately, she still couldn’t avoid her sharp eyes.

She was so sharp that she sensed it when Little Rain stared at her. Why didn’t she interrupt before Little Rain spoke?

It was naturally because she suddenly wanted to test Min Sisi.

If Min Sisi had feelings for Yin Jiujin, she definitely wouldn’t be calm after knowing.

Indeed, even though Min Sisi controlled her emotions very well, something could still be seen in the subtle areas.

However, she was not in a hurry. Since Min Sisi was so good at hiding, she would watch the show for a while first. She was directing a big show right now.

It was a big show between the Qin Family and the Min Family.

Be it Qin Bailu or Min Sisi, they would both be involved.

She didn’t have to do anything. The other party would make a fuss herself.

How convenient.

“Beauty Yu, what did my brother say to you just now?” Huo Siyu’s words pulled Yan Jinyu back to her senses.

Actually, everyone was a little surprised when Huo Xuan suddenly stood up and walked to the balcony without even saying anything.

Huo Siyu wanted to stop him. After all, she didn’t want Huo Xuan and Yan Jinyu to be alone to prevent Huo Xuan from getting caught in it.

However, just as she was about to speak, she saw that Min Sisi and Luo Yikun had a short exchange of glances. Her attention was diverted just like that.

By the time she returned to her senses, Huo Xuan had already walked out of the private room.

However, Yan Jinyu didn’t answer. “Feng helped Young Master Huo stop his cough outside the private room.”

After a suitable pause, Yan Jinyu continued, “But I saw that Young Master Huo was on the balcony just now. His condition doesn’t seem to be very good. It’s cold outside. It’s better for you to call your brother back, Little Rain. Otherwise, you’re the only family member with him in North City now and you’ll be the one who’s tired if he falls ill.”

With their tacit understanding, Huo Siyu understood what Yan Jinyu meant as soon as she said her first sentence.

So Brother Feng had made a move and Brother had guessed it.

“Alright, I’ll go take a look.”

Qin Hao did not stop Huo Siyu.

He could still differentiate what was important.

Moreover, he noticed that Yan Jinyu didn’t answer Huo Siyu’s question directly.

So, what did Huo Xuan say to her on the balcony?

Huo Xuan wouldn’t look for someone to talk to alone for no reason. However, he went to look for Yan Jinyu, so it was impossible not to notice it.

Could it be that Huo Xuan happened to want to take a breather on the balcony too?

Just as Qin Hao thought that, Yan Jinyu put down the glass of water and looked up at Qin Hao calmly with a faint smile. “Young Master Qin, do you also want to know what Young Master Huo said to me?”

“Actually, we didn’t say anything. Young Master Huo just happened to go out for a breather and simply greeted me normally.”

This was called preemptive strike.

“Miss Yan, you’re thinking too much. I don’t really want to know.”

“Alright, I was just asking casually too.”

After saying that, she turned to Xi Fengling, “Meimei, you’ve ordered so many snacks. I don’t even know which one is better. Can you recommend them to me?”

Her attitude was really like she was just asking casually.

Only Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling knew that wasn’t the case.

Xi Fengling winked at Yan Jinyu and smiled charmingly. She really introduced them to her seriously. As she introduced them, she even piled the snacks that matched Yan Jinyu’s taste in front of Yan Jinyu.

Qin Hao looked at Yan Jinyu deeply before retracting his gaze.

He did not know if it was his imagination, but he felt that these people were a little strange.

They seemed to be too familiar with one another.

However, he couldn’t pinpoint exactly where they were too familiar.

It was as if their every action and every eye contact revealed tacit understanding.

This kind of tacit understanding needed to have years or decades of friendship… No, only friendship was not enough for it. He had only seen such tacit understanding in the army.

It was a tacit understanding that could only be cultivated through countless battles together.

How could these people possibly have it?

It wasn’t like he had never investigated his little fiancée’s past before.

Perhaps he was thinking too much.

“Second Brother,” Min Sisi suddenly said.

Min Rufeng looked up calmly with his usual gentle expression. “What’s the matter?”

“Were you… angry with me just now?”

Min Rufeng looked at her and said nothing.

Min Sisi said timidly, “Just now, I-I didn’t mean to address Sister Xi like that. Second Brother, please don’t be angry with me.”

“There’s no need to,” Min Rufeng said.

“Our relationship isn’t close. It doesn’t matter how you think of me or my girlfriend. Besides, it’s just a form of address.”

“…” Min Sisi.

Min Rufeng seemed to be very unfriendly to her!

It didn’t seem to be easy to negotiate a collaboration with him like this.

“I-I’m sorry.” She pursed her lips and lowered her head. She sat upright and did not dare to speak again.

“Little girl, you’re really interesting. Min Rufeng already said that it doesn’t matter. What are you sorry for?” Xi Fengling smiled charmingly.

“But little girl, you care so much about whether Min Rufeng is angry or not. Could it be that you really treat Min Rufeng as your brother?”

Min Sisi looked up at her in surprise.

She was surprised that she had guessed correctly.

Xi Fengling’s smile deepened. “If that’s really the case, then you’re really a breath of fresh air in the Min Family.”

“Don’t you know that your parents and brother don’t like Min Rufeng very much?”

She wanted to see what Min Sisi was planning.

She didn’t think that someone who could be specially treated by Beauty Yu would be simple.
