The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 150: Where Are We Going?

In the car, Yan Jinyu tilted her head slightly and looked at Yin Jiujin. “Brother Nine, where are we going?”

Yin Jiujin tightened his grip on the steering wheel and said, “Let’s go home.”

Yan Jinyu narrowed her eyes and quickly glanced at his hands that were holding the steering wheel tightly. Then, her gaze returned to his handsome face and she observed him carefully for a moment.

Her intuition told her that his initial plan wasn’t to return to Mount Jing.

She smiled. “You’re going back already? Isn’t the company busy?”

“There’s no hurry.”

“It’s still early. I’ll be staying at home if I go back now. Since Brother Nine isn’t busy, why don’t you accompany me to a place?”

Yin Jiujin was slightly taken aback.

Then, he looked at her with a complicated gaze.

“Where are we going?”

“The abandoned factory in the southern suburbs is where the kidnappers brought me after I was kidnapped. After 16 years, I want to go back and take a look.”

“You…” She was indeed as clear-headed as he thought.

His initial plan was to go there, but he hesitated after leaving the cafe.

He wanted to go and see that place. He wanted to know how the girl, who was only two years old, had escaped from the kidnappers. He suddenly recalled that the kidnapping back then was not a good experience for his girl after all. She might not want to recall what happened at the abandoned factory, so he changed his mind at the very last minute.

They were not going somewhere else, but back to Mount Jing.

After hearing so much about what had happened to the young lady, he couldn’t calm down for a long time. He didn’t want to go anywhere and didn’t want to investigate too much for the time being. He just wanted to accompany her quietly for a day.

He didn’t expect the young lady to be so understanding. She could actually tell when he didn’t show the slightest intention of going to that old factory.

Yan Jinyu smiled at him. “Brother Nine, you don’t have to worry too much about me. You can do whatever you want and say whatever you want. If you have anything you want to know, you can ask me too. I’ll tell you everything.”

Her indulgent tone.

Yin Jiujin’s complicated emotions couldn’t help but dissipate. His lips curled up slightly as he held the steering wheel with one hand and placed his other hand on the top of her head. “You!”

Yan Jinyu took his hand down and held it. She looked at him with a smile on her face, but the expression in her eyes became more serious. “Really, I’m not lying to you. I’ll tell you whatever you ask.”

Looking at his hand that was held in hers, Yin Jiujin’s eyes softened. “I know.”

“But I have nothing to ask for now.”

“I might get someone to investigate something soon. I’ll let you know first.”

“Brother Nine, go ahead and investigate whatever you want to investigate.” She did not ask what he wanted to investigate because she had roughly guessed it.

“Also, if Brother Nine wants to know anything, just ask me. I won’t hide anything from you.”

“Yes.” Yin Jiujin smiled as he retracted his hand and focused on driving.

They headed straight for the abandoned factory in the southern suburbs.

***

“Why are you so flustered? Didn’t you say you were going to see Master Nine? Why are you back so soon?”

In the presidential suite of a five-star hotel in North City, a woman in a red dress and a pair of 15-centimeter high heels, was holding a glass of red wine. She sat on the sofa and looked at the person who pushed the door open and came in with a slightly unhappy expression.

Even though they were both seductive, this woman was not as pleasing to the eye as Xi Fengling. Her face was completely incomparable to Xi Fengling’s beauty.

She was too inferior.

Not only was she inferior, she was also older.

She was a woman in her forties.

“Mom, I…” There was still fear on her face. Who else could it be but Qin Bailu?

The woman sitting on the sofa was Qin Bailu’s mother, the current wife of the head of the Qin Family, Bai Shuangshuang.

She came from an ordinary family and relied on her own efforts to become a master in the ballet world. In the end, she became the wife of the head of the Qin Family in the capital and was a legendary woman.

This was what the outside world knew about her.

Seeing her expression, Bai Shuangshuang put down the wine glass and asked with furrowed eyebrows, “You didn’t get to see Master Nine?”

Seeing that Qin Bailu was pursing her lips and not saying anything, and her face was still a little pale, Bai Shuangshuang’s expression fell, “Didn’t I specially find out for you that Min Ting arranged to meet someone in that restaurant, and the person he arranged to meet might very likely be Master Nine, so I asked you to think of a way to stay by Min Ting’s side?”

“Isn’t Master Nine the person Min Ting arranged to meet? Or did you fail to stay by his side?”

“N-no, it wasn’t that…”

“What else then? What could actually make you look so embarrassing! I’ve taught you since you were young that no matter what happens, you have to maintain the demeanor of a well-bred young lady. Look at you now. Have you fed the things I taught you to the dogs?”

“Last time, you didn’t leave a good impression in front of Master Nine, so I specially took time to accompany you to North City. I waited for three days for a chance for you to ‘coincidentally’ meet Master Nine, so that you can perform well in front of Master Nine and make a good impression in front of him.”

“Min Ting may look like a playboy on the surface, but he’s actually quite capable. From the fact that he’s on good terms with Master Nine, it can be seen that Min Ting’s news might be related to Master Nine. Do you think it’s that easy to investigate him?”

“Is this how you waste my efforts?”

Qin Bailu’s face turned even paler. “Mom, I…”

It was not difficult to tell that Qin Bailu was very afraid of her mother.

“Alright, sit down and talk. Look at you now! You’re making me lose all my face!”

Qin Bailu walked over timidly and sat down. However, she didn’t dare to sit beside her. Instead, she chose a seat farther away from her.

“Tell me, what exactly happened?”

“I successfully entered Min Ting’s private room and saw Master Nine, but…” Qin Bailu bit her lip and looked at Bai Shuangshuang a little timidly before continuing,” But, in Min Ting’s private room, other than him and me, there’s also Xi Fengling. ”

“Who else did you say was there?”

“Min Rufeng’s lover, the boss of Mei Feng Bar, Xi Fengling.”

Bai Shuangshuang frowned, “That vixen-like woman?”

Bai Shuangshuang was the seductive kind of beauty. Oh, no, it should be said that she was the pure and seductive kind of woman. After all, she had studied ballet, so sometimes she could look very pure.

However, she was more inclined to be seductive, and Xi Fengling was the pinnacle of such beauties.

In the capital, there was no woman who was more seductive and beautiful than Xi Fengling, so Bai Shuangshuang knew about Xi Fengling.

She also had a bad impression of Xi Fengling.

“Why is she here? Did Min Ting invite her? She’s Min Rufeng’s lover. When did Min Ting become so close to her?”

“No… She just happened to bump into him. She said that it was boring for her to eat alone and wanted to share a table with Min Ting.”

“Share a table?” Bai Shuangshuang sneered, “To think that she could think of such an excuse!”

“Did Min Ting agree when she asked to share a table?”

Qin Bailu nodded.

“Then, are you being bullied by her?” Before Qin Bailu could reply, she scolded her again, “You’re the legitimate daughter of the Qin Family. How could you have suffered under a woman who has no background and serves others with her looks!”

Qin Bailu didn’t say anything. Her face turned red and white.

Almost everyone in the capital knew Xi Fengling, and those who knew her knew that although she had no background, she was not to be provoked. Even the Second Young Master of the Min Family was under her protection.

She didn’t believe that her mother did not know about this.

Yet, she still said that to her.

However, she did not dare to refute her.

“It’s not just Xi Fengling. When Master Nine came, he even brought Yan Jinyu along.” Speaking of Yan Jinyu, Qin Bailu couldn’t help but shiver.

Yan Jinyu clearly had a smile on her face, but there was no warmth in her eyes as she made the throat-slitting action. That image was deeply imprinted in her mind.

As soon as she thought of it, she felt a chill rise from the bottom of her heart and spread to her entire body.

Hearing this, Bai Shuangshuang uncrossed her legs, and frowned deeply, “The eldest daughter of the Yan Family in North City?”

Qin Bailu nodded.

“Is Master Nine really treating her differently as the rumors said? He even brought her along to meet Min Ting.”

“Yes, Master Nine treats her… very differently.” How was it just different? All these years, she had never seen Master Nine treat any woman so well! He actually sat beside Yan Jinyu and kept putting food into her bowl so gently!

Master Nine had never even treated that person in the capital like this before!

No, perhaps he did. She just didn’t have the chance to see it.

After all, Master Nine wasn’t someone who anyone could see just because they wanted to. Perhaps, in a place that she couldn’t see, Master Nine might treat that person as specially as he treated Yan Jinyu!

That person was someone Master Nine cared about!

But no matter what, she had never seen how Master Nine interacted with that person in private. However, she had seen with her own eyes how Master Nine treated Yan Jinyu differently.

As she thought about it, Qin Bailu felt fear and jealousy towards Yan Jinyu.

Bai Shuangshuang still found it hard to believe.

She had once seen Master Nine at the Yin Family and Min Family’s banquets. He was a fiend who wouldn’t even give face to his elders. How could he really accompany a little girl to shop and eat like the rumors said?

“Even if Master Nine really brought the daughter of the Yan Family with him, you wouldn’t be so flustered. What else happened?”

“She… Yan Jinyu is very frightening!”

As Qin Bailu spoke, her body froze and then trembled. “Mom, I-I’m a little afraid. Yan Jinyu warned me not to have designs on her man. If I continue to do this, I think she’ll kill me…”

“How dare she kill you?”

“I-I don’t know. I-It’s what she said.”

“You believe her just because she said so? Is that all you’ve got? She’s just a little girl who grew up in a rural orphanage. What ability does she have to kill the dignified Miss Qin?”

“But Mom, Qiu Jian is still lying in the hospital. The injuries on Qiu Jian were all caused by Yan Jinyu. Doesn’t this mean that Yan Jinyu really has some ability.

“Mom, is Yan Jinyu really as simple as we thought?”

Bai Shuangshuang’s expression froze, “So what if she’s not? She only knows a little about racing, how much ability can she have? Not to mention that she was abandoned by her parents, even if she’s the daughter of the Yan Family in North City, how can she compare to you? Don’t forget, you’re the daughter of the Qin Family in the capital! The Yan Family in the capital, at most, is a second-rate family, but our Qin Family’s status is above first-rate. We’re a top-notch family in the capital!”

“Besides, if I ask you to give up on marrying into the Yin Family and Master Nine now, will you agree?”

Qin Bailu was stunned. Then, a ruthless glint flashed across her eyes. “No! I definitely won’t give up on Master Nine! I definitely won’t give up on marrying into the Yin Family!”

“Mom, I want to get rid of Yan Jinyu. I have to get rid of her!”
