The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 142: Unusual

However, he didn’t ask or say anything.

After Xi Fengling finished ordering, the menu was handed to Qin Bailu. Just as she was about to pass it to Yan Jinyu, Yan Jinyu didn’t take it. Yin Jiujin casually ordered two more dishes.

After the dishes were served and they ate for a while, Min Ting suddenly realized that the dishes that Yan Jinyu picked up the most seemed to be ordered by Xi Fengling.

His eyes flickered.

He said casually, “Miss Yan’s taste seems to be similar to Boss Xi’s. Miss Yan prefers Boss Xi’s dishes.”

Qin Bailu looked up.

She didn’t realize it before he said that, and afterwards she discovered that it was indeed.

Not only did Yan Jinyu favor Xi Fengling’s dishes, but Xi Fengling also didn’t eat much of the dishes that she ordered either!

Recalling Xi Fengling’s actions and Yan Jinyu’s decision to give up on ordering, Qin Bailu began to size them up.

Did Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling know each other?

Not only did they know each other, but they were also so familiar with each other that they even knew each other’s preferences?

Min Ting’s thoughts were similar to Qin Bailu’s. Both of them tried to see something from Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling’s expressions.

What they saw was Xi Fengling smiling charmingly and saying, “Third Young Master Min, now that you mention it, it does seem to be true.”

Then, she winked at Yan Jinyu. “Little beauty, looks like we hit it off very well.”

“Indeed,” Yan Jinyu smiled and said.

She had been maintaining such a clean and clear smile. There was nothing else in her eyes, making her look extremely innocent and harmless. Of course… It was even harder for others to see her true emotions.

This was Min Ting’s thought.

After seeing Yan Jinyu, who was so good at racing, Min Ting naturally didn’t think that she was as innocent and harmless as she looked on the surface.

She wasn’t really innocent and harmless, but she hid her true self very well.

At the same time, he also felt a little wary while thinking more highly of Yan Jinyu.

“I still have to stay in North City for a few more days. Can you be my companion for the next few days since we hit it off so well?”

Before Yan Jinyu could say anything, Yin Jiujin’s eyes darkened.

The young lady’s “partners” were really cut out from the same cloth!

After Huo Siyu left, Xi Fengling came!

They only knew how to snatch her away from him.

However, he had forgotten that recently, Yan Jinyu didn’t follow him to the company anymore. He only saw her in the morning and when he returned to Mount Jing after work at night. Yan Jinyu spent the rest of the time alone at Mount Jing.

Besides, he had wanted Yan Jinyu to ask Yan Jinyun out for more shopping. That wasn’t what he had thought at that time.

How was going out with Yan Jinyun any different from staying with Xi Fengling? However, he only blamed Xi Fengling for snatching her away from him and not Yan Jinyun.

Could it be because Yan Jinyun didn’t “snatch” her in front of him?

Although he felt uncomfortable, Yin Jiujin knew how to restrain himself after being taught a lesson previously.

Yan Jinyu, who had also been taught a lesson once, didn’t answer Xi Fengling immediately after hearing her words. Instead, she looked at Yin Jiujin. Seeing that his expression was normal, she smiled and said, “Sure!”

Xi Fengling saw everything.

She realized even more clearly how important Yin Jiujin was to Beauty Yu.

She sighed softly. She didn’t know if this was good or bad.

Xi Fengling and Huo Siyu shared the same thoughts. On the one hand, they hoped that Yan Jinyu could find the “meaning of life” for her and wouldn’t be as dispirited as before. On the other hand, they were worried that Yan Jinyu would care about Yin Jiujin too much and get hurt.

Although based on Yin Jiujin’s current attitude towards Yan Jinyu, it seemed impossible for her to get hurt.

“It’s settled then. Leave me your phone number later. I’ll meet you tomorrow.”

Yan Jinyu smiled and nodded, before looking at Xi Fengling deeply.

“…” Xi Fengling was shocked.

Beauty Yu indeed had two faces!

One face made people let down their guard and feel pity and love for her; the other face made people feel fearful when they met her.

“By the way, Boss Xi seemed to have said that Elegant Bamboo Clubhouse in North City is yours too?” Min Ting suddenly asked.

Xi Fengling turned to him with a faint smile. “Yes, it is!”

“Speaking of which, Third Young Master Min seems to be a regular at Elegant Bamboo.”

“Something happened at Elegant Bamboo some time ago. I heard from Zhao Kun that even Third Young Master Min and… Master Nine was alarmed?”

“It’s not exactly a shock. It’s just that a wall in my private room suddenly collapsed so it’s true that my mood was affected.”

Xi Fengling smiled. “Oh? I wonder if Third Young Master Min’s mood has improved after all these days?”

“Of course.”

“That’s good. I knew that Third Young Master Min wasn’t a petty person, and he definitely wouldn’t take it to heart over such a small matter. From the looks of it, those people who appeared in Elegant Bamboo to cause trouble recently have nothing to do with Third Young Master Min.”

“I originally thought that if those people were related to Third Young Master Min, I would just beat them up and let them go. It would also be considered as giving Third Young Master Min some face. After all, Third Young Master Min is his cousin, so I have to give you some face.”

Min Ting’s expression froze and then his eyes turned sharp.

He was actually trapped by Xi Fengling!

With just a few words!

He was the one who started this topic first. He should be the one who had the upper hand!

He had wanted to find a chance to get those people back, but it seemed like he couldn’t do it now.

“Someone went to Elegant Bamboo to cause trouble? I’ve been in the capital recently, so I’m not sure. I wonder if Elegant Bamboo’s losses are serious?”

“It’s a little serious, but losing something like this is something that can be discussed with money. I’ve already asked Zhao Kun to tell those people to contact their relatives and friends. If they can compensate with money, they can leave unscathed.”

“…” Min Ting. He didn’t know if he was too stupid or Xi Fengling’s words were too abnormal. He clearly thought that if Xi Fengling said that it wasn’t serious, he would say things like “Those people are just hooligans, just teach them a lesson and let them go”.

At the very least, it was good that Xi Fengling had made things clear. This way, he could still interrogate her. The collapse of the wall could be explained by cutting corners, but there was clearly a problem with Elegant Bamboo’s surveillance that day. It couldn’t be all a coincidence.

However, Xi Fengling wanted money!

Was she someone who lacked that bit of money?

She was clearly trying to put him in his place! She wanted him to suffer in silence!

What Min Ting didn’t know was that he had sent someone to create trouble in Elegant Bamboo and if it wasn’t for the fact that he had a good relationship with Yin Jiujin and that Yin Jiujin was someone Yan Jinyu cared about, this matter wouldn’t have been resolved with just a few dollars.

Xi Fengling had never been an easy person to antagonize. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to stay on equal footing with a young master from an influential family like Min Ting on her own and “without any background”.

“Is that so? Then, I hope that those people’s relatives and friends can gather enough money to compensate for Elegant Bamboo.” Of course, the people he sent were not his trusted aides. They were only hooligans who were found outside. However, if he abandoned those people this time, it would affect his trustworthiness. It would not be so convenient to find people to do things for him in the future.

However, it was good that Xi Fengling didn’t say it out loud. This way, everyone could still pretend to be friendly.

Since Elegant Bamboo was Xi Fengling’s, if there was really something wrong with the wall, it must be related to his second cousin.

He could not figure it out. The Min Family was established as a family of doctors. The power was in the hands of those people who studied medicine. What did it have to do with him, a hedonistic son who “wasn’t in the business”? No matter what, the power of the Min Family would not fall into the hands of a hedonistic son like him, right?

If Min Rufeng wanted to seize power, so be it. Why did he have to keep watching after him?

Their second branch wasn’t cut out to learn medicine so it wasn’t their place to be in charge at all.

Not to mention him, even his father had started doing business when he was studying medicine in university. After graduating, he opened a hospital and moved behind the scenes. Although he didn’t do business openly, he had made a lot of investments in secret. Even though he had invested in the hospital, it could not be considered as making money with his “medical skills”.

Min Rufeng was monitoring him. Could it be that he was afraid that he would support Min Nan?

Tsk, did his relationship with Min Nan look that good?

Min Nan, the eldest son of the Min Family, had the same father as Min Rufeng.

“I think so too. Otherwise… it’s too cruel to break someone’s arms and legs so often.”

She said “often” and “too cruel” again.

Min Ting’s lips twitched.

Even Yan Jinyu looked at Xi Fengling speechlessly.

What was the point of breaking someone’s arms and legs? As killers, and top killers, had they not done enough jobs such as ending someone’s life?

What was too cruel…

Only Qin Bailu heard Xi Fengling say “break someone’s arm and leg” in such a casual tone as if she was already used to it.

Her face turned pale when she thought about how she had almost offended Xi Fengling. The chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground with a soft thud.

Other than Yin Jiujin, who was calmly putting food into Yan Jinyu’s bowl, everyone, including Yan Jinyu, looked over.

Seeing that her face was pale, Xi Fengling smiled charmingly. “What’s wrong, Second Miss Qin? Why can’t you even hold your chopsticks properly? Are you frightened? You shouldn’t be! Born in a big family like the Qin Family, you should have seen more dirty methods. Why would you be frightened by such a small matter?”

“Perhaps, Second Miss Qin has seen a lot of assassinations. It’s even possible that Second Miss Qin has sent assassins before…”

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Qin Bailu interrupted her with a pale and panicked expression.

She quickly looked at Yin Jiujin and explained as if she was afraid that he would misunderstand, “Master Nine, don’t listen to her nonsense. I’m only a university student. Other than studying, I usually practice ballet. It’s impossible…”

Yan Jinyu smiled and interrupted her, “What does your matter have to do with my fiancé?”
