The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned - Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Special Treatment

Yan Jinyu usually didn’t like to use her brain, especially in a relaxed environment. She wouldn’t waste her time thinking about stuff.

Hence, when she left the villa and saw the elegant courtyard and the sea of flowers outside the fence, she quickly put aside the strange feeling that she did not understand just now.

Her thoughts were that since she couldn’t figure out what it was, she couldn’t be bothered to think about it. Anyway, Yin Jiujin wouldn’t harm her. Therefore, the strange feeling that arose because of him was probably not something bad. At a certain time, she would naturally know what it was.

It had to be said that at times, Yan Jinyu was actually very carefree.

Or rather, she was very carefree in the presence of the people that she trusted.

Of course, with her past experiences, Yan Jinyu wouldn’t easily trust others. She hadn’t interacted much with Yin Jiujin before she believed him, so this matter was actually quite unusual.

The sun was scorching outside. Yan Jinyu didn’t go to the courtyard. Instead, she stood outside the villa building for a while before turning around and returning to the house.

Auntie Cheng’s lunch was ready.

Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng didn’t live in this villa building. Instead, they lived in the small building behind the villa. That small building also had Lin Zimu and Cheng Lin’s rooms. Whether it was Uncle Cheng or Aunt Cheng, they wouldn’t stay in this villa building to eat.

Yin Jiujin usually ate alone. The dining table wasn’t big, just a standard six-person table.

Yin Jiujin sat on the main seat while Yan Jinyu sat on the seat on his right.

Seeing that Yan Jinyu’s expression was normal, as though the scene that made her flee had never happened, Yin Jiujin couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

Young girls were the easiest to be shy at this age. If she didn’t mind, what was there for a man like him to mind?

Indeed, Yin Jiujin had never thought that Yan Jinyu was different from other young ladies.

She might not even realize that she was shy, let alone that she might not have felt shy in the first place. Just like earlier, she only felt that it was very strange, but that strange feeling was thrown to the back of her mind after she could not figure it out and felt that it would not cause her any substantial harm.

“Eat.” He picked up his chopsticks and picked up some food for her.

It was clearly his first time doing such a thing, but he acted so naturally as if he had done it countless times. Yin Jiujin didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.

Yan Jinyu, on the other hand, blinked as she looked at the vegetables in her bowl.

She was actually a little obsessed with cleanliness. Everyone who knew her knew that she didn’t like people putting food into her bowl. Not to mention Meimei and Little Rain, even Feng wouldn’t put food on her plate.

Yin Jiujin frowned slightly when he saw that she was staring at the food in her bowl. “You don’t like this dish?”

Aunt Cheng, who was carrying the soup out from the kitchen, heard this and hurriedly said, “Miss Yu, don’t you like it? It’s all my fault for being careless. I didn’t ask what Miss Yu liked before I cooked. I just made it according to Second Young Master’s usual light taste.”

She placed the soup on the dining table. “If Miss Yu doesn’t like it, can I go make a few more dishes?”

Meeting her kind and caring smile, Yan Jinyu saw that Yin Jiujin also looked very approving. She picked up her chopsticks and placed the food into her mouth. She smiled, “No, Aunt Cheng’s food is very delicious. My taste is also slightly bland, so it’s just right. Aunt Cheng, go ahead and busy yourself. Don’t worry about me.”

She looked at Yin Jiujin and emphasized again, “I don’t dislike it. Let’s eat.” She didn’t dislike it. She simply wasn’t used to it.

However, it was very strange. If it was someone else who picked up food for her, she would probably have put down her bowl and chopsticks by now. She would feel disgusted and angry. However, other than feeling a little uncomfortable, she actually didn’t have any other emotions when Yin Jiujin had picked up food for her.

She could not figure out the reason.

Since she couldn’t figure it out, she simply thought that it was because Yin Jiujin was her fiancé. Since she had acknowledged him, she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.

A lifetime meant that they would have countless chances to eat at the same table in the long future. It was inevitable for her to receive food for the other party. Since it would happen sooner or later, there was nothing strange about her accepting it from now on.

She felt more at ease now that the psychological training was over.

She had never imagined that the reason she didn’t feel repulsed and even convinced herself so quickly was entirely because Yin Jiujin was different from others to her.

Yin Jiujin didn’t move and just looked at her.

Yan Jinyu couldn’t help but stop. “Why isn’t Brother Nine eating? Aren’t you hungry?”

“Hurry up and eat. Aunt Cheng’s dishes are indeed not bad.” This wasn’t a lie. However, after she said that, she picked up a small piece of stir-fried meat in front of her and placed it in Yin Jiujin’s bowl. “Eat quickly. I still want to walk around your courtyard after eating. I saw that the flowers were blooming quite well. My room in the Yan Family is too boring. I’m about to pick a bunch and go back to decorate my room.”

She picked it up naturally and didn’t feel awkward at all. Instead, Yin Jiujin looked at the food in his bowl and his eyes flickered.

She picked up her chopsticks and ate elegantly.

The two of them were not talkative. After that, they ate quietly.

After the meal, the two of them sat on the sofa to drink water and digest the food. Aunt Cheng, who had finished clearing the dishes, brought over a plate of fruits. She put down the fruits and was about to turn around when she stopped and looked at Yin Jiujin hesitantly. Then, she said, “I heard that the Second Miss Yan is still in her third year of high school. Miss Yu and Second Miss Yan are twins. Are you also in school together?”

Although she seemed to be asking Yan Jinyu, Aunt Cheng had been paying attention to Yin Jiujin’s expression. She was afraid that she would make him unhappy when she said that.

After all, it wasn’t as if Aunt Cheng didn’t know anything. Although she often stayed in Mount Jing and didn’t go out, there were many people on Mount Jing. Although everyone didn’t dare to openly gossip about Yin Jiujin’s private matters, after Yin Jiujin brought Yan Jinyu back, the subordinates would occasionally chat about Yan Jinyu.

Aunt Cheng knew that Yan Jinyu had dropped out of school after graduating from the third year of junior high school and had been working to maintain her livelihood.

Aunt Cheng wasn’t someone who didn’t know her limits. She wouldn’t have said so much if Yin Jiujin didn’t care about Yan Jinyu and she liked Yan Jinyu very much.

She had been a servant in the Yin Family for a long time and knew better than anyone else that a daughter-in-law of a top-notch family like the Yin Family definitely could not only have a junior high education level. Even if Second Young Master protected her in the future and it was possible for Miss Yu to marry into the Yin Family, her family background was far inferior to the Yin Family and she only had a junior high education level. She would definitely not have a good life in the Yin Family.

According to what she knew, it had been two months since Miss Yu returned to North City. The Yan Family had yet to find a school for her to study in.

Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya had always been biased towards their younger daughter. Since Miss Yu had led a wandering life for many years and didn’t have any ties with them, they probably disliked Miss Yu even more. They probably wouldn’t care about what would happen to Miss Yu in the future, whether she could marry into the Yin Family, and whether her life would be difficult after marrying into the Yin Family.

It was not her turn as a servant to say this, but Old Madam and Old Madam Yan were no longer around, so she acted out of turn and reminded Second Young Master.

Although Second Young Master was very capable, he was only twenty-four years old after all. Moreover, he was a man. It was inevitable that he would have some areas that he could not take into consideration.

Yan Jinyu’s hand, which was holding a glass of water, paused.

It was the issue of schooling again.

To be honest, even if she didn’t go to school, a post-doctorate in a famous school might not even be comparable to the knowledge that she possessed.

If she had known that it would be so troublesome, she would have created a high education level when she created fake information…

Alright, it was not practical for her to have a high education level based on her “past” growing up in an orphanage in a remote town . The children there, even those whose families were well-established, rarely went to university and rarely finished high school, let alone those growing up in an orphanage.

However, if she hadn’t chosen such a remote town, it would be hard to explain why these people had searched for her for so many years. Especially since Yin Jiujin had spent three years trying to find her.

This was also the reason why she chose to create a fake junior high school degree even though she knew that she would have a lot of trouble when she came back.

She originally thought that the Yan Family might not care much about her. Even if they did, she could just reject them. Anyway, no one could force her.

However, she had never expected that she would acknowledge Yin Jiujin as her fiancé and decide to spend the rest of her life with him…

Her original plan was to get close to Yin Jiujin and get close to the Yin Family through Yin Jiujin to find out the cause of Bai Ye’s death. If she had a sudden impulse, she would help Bai Ye take revenge and then leave.

Plans could not keep up with changes.

If her parents wanted her to go to school, she could reject them. After all, they wouldn’t really mean it. However, if Yin Jiujin wanted her to go to school, he would definitely make a decision after considering her for a long time. If she refused again…

She was not someone who did not know what was good for her. She could not say it out loud, but she definitely remembered it in her heart.

Besides, if he really cared for her, she couldn’t reject him.

She did not understand why someone as ruthless as her could not reject others’ good intentions.

Forget it. She would delay it for a while. Hopefully, Yin Jiujin had no intention of sending her to school.

However, it was her wishful thinking.

“Aunt Cheng, you might not know this, but I graduated before I returned to North City.” This was a clever way of putting it. Graduating was not dropping out of school. After graduating from junior high, one had already completed nine years of compulsory education. To the children of remote towns, there was nothing wrong with calling it “graduation”.

Yes, she was indeed much smarter than usual if she bothered to use her brains.
