The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned - Chapter 259

Chapter 259: Jinyu’s Guess

When they returned to the private room, Huo Xuan and Huo Siyu were both a little surprised to see that there were only four people.

However, they were simply surprised and they did not ask further.

The music in the private room was changed to light music by Min Rufeng again. He poured three glasses of red wine, one for himself, one for Xi Fengling, and one for Qin Hao.

As for Yan Jinyu, Min Rufeng saw that she wasn’t as addicted to yogurt as before, so he generously got the waiter to bring her a packet of warm yogurt.

When the Huo siblings returned to the private room, they saw such a harmonious scene.

Xi Fengling sat with her legs crossed. She held the wine glass in one hand and occasionally swiped her phone with the other. Suddenly, she paused.

“Beauty Yu.”

Yan Jinyu looked over and glanced at her darkened phone screen.

She narrowed her eyes and took a sip of yogurt.

The pinhole camera that Feng and Meimei went to set up was not an ordinary pinhole camera. They had modified it themselves. The video could be seen in real time through Meimei’s phone.

Just now, they saw that Min Sisi and the others did not call for a taxi or someone to pick them up. Instead, the elevator went straight down to the underground parking lot. Min Sisi drove while Luo Yikun sat in the front passenger seat and Luo Qiu sat in the back seat.

The scene was very stable until their car left the underground parking lot and drove onto the main road.

But now, the screen was dark.

It was very likely that the other party had discovered the pinhole camera and destroyed it.

Putting her phone back into her pocket, Xi Fengling put down her wine glass and said, “Didn’t you say that you would bring a few bottles of liquor for dinner later? There’s nothing much to do now. Beauty Yu, come with me to the wine cellar to get them.”

After saying that, she glanced at Min Rufeng.

“Go ahead,” Min Rufeng said.

He hid the hint of surprise in his eyes very well.

Seeing the two of them get up, although Huo Siyu didn’t know what was going on, she could guess that something must have happened. She said, “I’ll go with you. I haven’t seen the wine cellar in Sister Fengling’s bar.”

She said to Huo Xuan, “Brother, sit first. If you’re not feeling well, don’t drink. I’ll go with Sister Fengling and the others.”

Huo Xuan had a lot on his mind and didn’t notice anything amiss. He nodded, “Okay.”

On the other hand, Qin Hao sat quite close to Yan Jinyu. Although he didn’t see the image on Xi Fengling’s phone or Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling’s interaction, his intuition told him that they definitely weren’t as simple as going to get the liquor.

“Rainy.”

Huo Siyu, who was about to follow Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling, stopped in her tracks when she saw Qin Hao walking towards her with the scarf she had placed on the sofa.

He wrapped it around her. “The wine cellar is colder. Put on a scarf.”

Then, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

“…” Huo Siyu was stunned the entire time. Then, she realized that everyone was looking at them and her face turned red.

She quickly retreated. “Th-thank you.”

“…” Huo Xuan and Min Rufeng.

Especially Huo Xuan. His face darkened as he glared at Qin Hao.

“Fengling and Little Yu, put on your scarves too,” Min Rufeng retracted his gaze from Qin Hao and said.

It wasn’t that Min Rufeng was negligent, but he knew that their trip to the wine cellar was just a ruse, so he didn’t think too much about it. With Qin Hao’s actions, he realized that there was no air conditioning after leaving the private room and it was a little cold.

Huo Siyu quickly returned and picked up their scarves. “I’ll help them take the scarves.”

Then, she ran out of the private room as if she was escaping. She didn’t know if it was because she was too flustered, but she actually didn’t see that Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling were still standing in the private room.

The two of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

After a while, Xi Fengling chuckled. “Let’s go, Beauty Yu.”

Rainy was too cowardly.

She was actually so flustered when her fiancé simply kissed her on the forehead.

The corners of Yan Jinyu’s lips curled up too.

She was also amused by Huo Siyu’s innocent look.

After they left, there were only three men in the private room.

Qin Hao sat back on the sofa calmly.

“Young Master Qin, you’re very capable!”

Qin Hao, who had just sat down, looked at him when he heard that, “Brother-in-law, you’re welcome.”

Huo Xuan, “…Who’s your brother-in-law!”

He picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Qin Hao no longer looked as honest as before. He looked unfathomable as he slowly said, “It’s only a matter of time.”

“A matter of time? Dream on! Rainy is the daughter of the Huo Family, and I’m the head of the Huo Family. If I don’t agree to her marriage, you’ll never get to call me Brother-in-law.”

“You can’t change the engagement set by the elders. Besides, we’ve lived together for so long. Brother-in-law, you might just become an uncle one day.” Qin Hao was fearless.

“How dare you!”

“This isn’t a matter of whether I dare or not. Wasn’t it Brother-in-law who handed her to me personally a year ago? Could it be that Brother-in-law is still naive to think that nothing happened when Rainy was drugged with such a heavy dose of medicine that night?”

Huo Xuan choked.

Indeed, he had personally handed her to Qin Hao!

“Young Master Qin is surprising,” Min Rufeng said.

Qin Hao didn’t deny it. He crossed his legs and swirled the wine glass in his hand.

“I hope Young Master Qin won’t capsize.”

Qin Hao’s hand that was holding the wine glass halted its movement. “Second Young Master Min, what do you mean by that?”

“Young Master Qin is a smart person. You can tell that Little Rain is very guarded against people. It’s very difficult for a person who has always been vigilant to trust someone. If Little Rain knows that Young Master Qin actually used another face to gain her trust…”

“Young Master Qin, you’d better watch out.”

He would never have said this if he hadn’t seen that Little Rain had feelings for Qin Hao.

He did this because he did not want Huo Siyu to be hurt.

Qin Hao lowered his eyes and fell silent.

Even Huo Xuan didn’t say anything.

After a long while, Qin Hao said, “Thank you.”

However, he was even more certain that Min Rufeng and Huo Siyu’s relationship was extraordinary.

***

After Yan Jinyu and the other two left the private room, they took the elevator to the fifth floor.

Sitting down in the living room, Xi Fengling asked, “Beauty Yu, before we talk about this, can you tell us what’s wrong with Min Sisi?”

Huo Siyu then realized that what they were about to discuss was related to Min Sisi.

She also looked at Yan Jinyu inquiringly.

“I have some guesses, but I can’t be sure.”

Yan Jinyu was still holding the yogurt in her hand. She took another sip. “Min Sisi has some skills. Meimei, you and Feng have been investigating the Min Family for so long. Didn’t you notice anything wrong with her?”

Xi Fengling shook her head. “No.”

“Although Min Sisi is favored by the Min Family, she doesn’t have a strong presence. She’s a good student. She studies every day.”

“Besides, regardless of whether she was in high school or university now, she mostly lived in school and rarely interacted with others. Hence, I didn’t pay much attention to her.”

Xi Fengling was ashamed. “We were careless. After experiencing so much, we shouldn’t have underestimated anyone.”

“You don’t have to blame yourself. From my observation, Min Sisi seems to have the intention of roping in Feng. Perhaps she’s not your enemy.”

Xi Fengling agreed with Yan Jinyu.

If Min Sisi really concealed it very well, she must be very ambitious. If she didn’t want to rope Min Rufeng in, there was no need for her to be so humble in front of Min Rufeng today.

“But why does she want to rope Brother Feng in?”

Huo Siyu was puzzled. “Also, even if there’s really something wrong with Min Sisi, if she wasn’t a resistance to Brother Feng in his takeover of the Min Family, Beauty Yu, with your personality, you wouldn’t have interfered.”

Yan Jinyu chuckled, “She’s not Feng’s resistance, but she might be my enemy.”

“What? She’ll make things difficult for you?”

Xi Fengling rolled her eyes at Huo Siyu. “What makes things difficult? Can Min Sisi make things difficult for Beauty Yu? Beauty Yu’s meaning should be Min Sisi has overestimated herself and has designs for someone who she shouldn’t have.” This wasn’t difficult to guess. It was none other than Yin Jiujin’s unwanted admirer.

She had lived in the capital for three years and knew a lot about the rumors in the upper-class circle.

For example, Min Sisi was the person the wife of the head of the Yin Family had chosen for Yin Jiujin. Min Sisi was the daughter of an influential family that was most worthy of Yin Jiujin.

“Let’s not care what Min Sisi wants to do first. Beauty Yu, since you can see that Min Sisi has skills, can you grade her skills?”

“I’m not sure, but she’s definitely not dilettantish.” Yan Jinyu still had this judgement.

“Actually, I noticed Min Sisi not because she concealed herself well, but because she seems to know the Second Young Master of the Luo Family in North City.”

“What does it have to do with Luo Yikun?” In Huo Siyu’s opinion, Luo Yikun was just a slightly smarter hedonistic son. Even if he was a little smart, Yan Jinyu wouldn’t have cared so much about him.

Xi Fengling and Huo Siyu had the same thoughts.

“Beauty Yu, is there a problem with Luo Yikun?”

Shaking the yogurt packet in her hand, Yan Jinyu said, “Actually, I do have a bold guess, but I don’t have any evidence yet.”

“What guess?” the two of them asked in unison.

It didn’t matter if there was evidence or not. What was important was Beauty Yu’s guess.

No one knew how big Beauty Yu’s brain’s capacity was.

If she said that it was a guess, it must be a valid guess.

The accuracy was very high.

“I seem to have mentioned to you that I was coincidentally brought to Ghost Slaughter Island. And that person actually had a target when he appeared in North City at that time.”

Huo Siyu’s lips twitched. “Beauty Yu, are you trying to say that the person Ghost Slaughter Island wanted to take away from North City was Luo Yikun?”

Yan Jinyu didn’t say anything and just smiled.

“Really?”

“It’s just a guess.”

Yan Jinyu continued, “When that Eldest Young Master of the Luo Family had designs on Yun’er previously, I personally investigated the Luo Family. And this Second Young Master of the Luo Family was said to be very smart when he was young. He was jokingly called a prodigy when he was three years old. However, after he was three years old, he became ordinary for some reason.”

Luo Yikun had reminded her of Luo Yilin’s actions twice, so she knew that Luo Yikun was not simple. It was only when she found out the detailed information of everyone in the Luo Family and even dug out the secret of the Luo Family that she was certain that Luo Yikun was really not simple.

She didn’t want to pay much attention to him, but Luo Yikun seemed to be related to Min Sisi somehow. In this case, Yan Jinyu couldn’t ignore him even if she wanted to.

Xi Fengling sighed.

So there was such a thing.

“Even so, wasn’t Luo Yikun still not taken away by Ghost Slaughter Island in the end? I’ve never seen Luo Yikun on Ghost Slaughter Island. Also, Luo Yikun grew up in the Luo Family all these years, right?”

Yan Jinyu looked at Xi Fengling and asked with a smile, “How do you know that he wasn’t taken away by Ghost Slaughter Island? How can you be sure that Ghost Slaughter Island is the only base that Ghost Slaughter nurtures his people?”

Xi Fengling and Huo Siyu were both shocked.

This…

“B-Beauty Yu, what do you mean by that? Can you be clearer? I can’t calm down.”

Not only was she unable to recover, Huo Siyu even felt that she was terrified.

Looking at the two equally shocked people, Yan Jinyu smiled faintly, “Why are you so nervous? I already said that it was just my guess.”

“…” The two of them believed her! Because this wasn’t anyone else’s guess. It was Beauty Yu’s! It was the guess of the Beauty Yu whom they trusted so much!

“Alright, let’s put this matter aside for now. Meimei, let’s talk about why the surveillance cameras in Min Sisi’s car suddenly lost its image.”
