The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 143 - Jinyu "Protecting Her Food"

Chapter 143: Jinyu “Protecting Her Food”

Yan Jinyu suddenly spoke and revealed such a smile.

While Xi Fengling sighed at how Beauty Yu really “protected her food”, she could not help but feel sorry for Qin Bai.

Second Miss Qin, please take care of yourself!

Min Ting and Yin Jiujin looked at Yan Jinyu when they heard that, especially Yin Jiujin. He was initially unhappy that Qin Bailu wanted to explain to him for no reason, but his eyes regained their usual dark glint. When he suddenly heard Yan Jinyu’s words, his anger suddenly dissipated.

Her fiancé…

Yes, she was very accurate about his identity.

“Actually, I’m in a good mood today. I can pretend that you don’t exist if you don’t make your presence known. You just need to persevere for a while more and this meal would be over. Why don’t you keep a low profile? Can’t you just leave as you came after this meal? Why do you have to make your presence known?”

“Whether you are beautiful or ugly, thin or fat, good or bad, why do you have to explain it to my man? Why? Why are you afraid that he will misunderstand?”

Looking into Yan Jinyu’s smiling eyes, Qin Bailu’s pale face turned even paler. She didn’t know why, but she actually felt a chill down her spine!

“Who are you to make him misunderstand?”

“Be sensible. Don’t think about my people. You are still useful to me so I don’t want to touch you for the time being.” Yan Jinyu smiled at Qin Bailu, who was trembling unconsciously. “Speaking of hiring killers, I really met a few killers a few days ago. Second Miss Qin, do you think I know who employed those killers?”

“H-how should I know!” She was shocked.

“It’s not important whether you know it or not. What’s important is not to think about my man. Remember that. Otherwise, once I’m unhappy, I might not want to keep you around anymore.”

“Do you know what I mean?”

“It’s…” Yan Jinyu smiled and made a throat-slitting gesture.

She did it cutely, but Qin Bailu was so frightened that she screamed. She knocked over the bowl in front of her and the chair behind her. She picked up her bag and ran out of the room in a panic.

“Tsk, you’re really so easily frightened.”

Yan Jinyu looked at Yin Jiujin and smiled. “Brother Nine, was I very frightening earlier?”

Only then did she realize that Yin Jiujin had been staring at her. His obscure eyes seemed to hide some emotions that she was familiar with.

Yan Jinyu coughed awkwardly, “Brother Nine.”

She wanted to remind him not to mess around.

Yin Jiujin looked at her deeply and restrained the emotions in his eyes. “It’s not scary. It’s very cute.” She was so cute that he almost couldn’t control himself and pulled her onto his lap to kiss her.

If not for the fact that there were outsiders around and the young lady was thin-skinned, he would have already done so.

Don’t think about her man…

He was very satisfied to know that he was hers.

It was clearly a threat, but she was smiling so foolishly and making such a cute move.

Yan Jinyu smiled even brighter when she heard Yin Jiujin’s words.

Upon hearing Yin Jiujin’s words, Xi Fengling was shocked and shivered.

He was indeed someone that Beauty Yu had taken a fancy to. Even she was frightened by Beauty Yu earlier, but yet he still found her cute!

Alright, if she didn’t know Beauty Yu’s nature, she would indeed find her cute. However, didn’t Yin Jiujin already know Beauty Yu’s identity?

He should know that Beauty Yu was not joking.

It could only be said that he was indeed the famous Master Nine whose name alone could scare a group of people!

Min Ting, who was already frightened by Yan Jinyu’s words and actions that scared Qin Bailu away, was now extremely frightened.

He was speechless for a long time.

However, he could tell that although Yan Jinyu always had a smile on her face and looked very harmless, she was actually the person that he couldn’t provoke the most.

She had been looking at Qin Bailu with an extremely kind smile and the most non-threatening calm tone when she spoke. Even he felt an inexplicable chill when he sat beside her.

Look at Qin Bailu. She was considered one of the top ladies in the capital, so she was naturally not timid. She was actually so frightened.

And Second Brother…

Cute?

Where did Second Brother find Yan Jinyu cute? Could cuteness scare Qin Bailu away?

However…

“Eldest Miss Yan, was what you said about Qin Bailu hiring someone to kill her true? Is Eldest Miss Yan alright? Also, why did you say that Qin Bailu is still useful?”

Min Ting’s exquisite face was filled with conflict.

“I’m sorry. I’m actually not someone who would get to the bottom of other people’s matters. I just feel that I don’t understand what you guys are saying. I feel like I can’t blend in. This feeling makes me very unhappy.” However, Second Brother refused to let him investigate!

“Of course, if Eldest Miss Yan finds it inconvenient, you don’t have to say it. Just take it as me talking to myself.” However, he was really very curious!

Yan Jinyu didn’t reply to him immediately. Instead, she looked at Yin Jiujin.

With just a look, Yin Jiujin understood what she meant. He didn’t say much and only said, “Not you guys’ enemy.”

He was talking about “you guys” and not “you.”

Naturally, that included Min Rufeng.

In other words, Min Ting was not Min Rufeng’s enemy.

Yan Jinyu believed Yin Jiujin’s words, while Xi Fengling believed Yan Jinyu’s.

Hence, after hearing Yin Jiujin’s words, Xi Fengling didn’t say anything. She only took a sip of the red wine beside her hand and looked at Yan Jinyu as she swirled the wine glass.

The reason Yan Jinyu wanted to confirm with Yin Jiujin was because she could tell that Yin Jiujin and Min Ting’s relationship was really good.

She would always be by Yin Jiujin’s side in the future and would definitely have many chances to interact with Min Ting. She had to know if Min Ting was one of her people so that she could be sure if she should guard against him.

In addition, seizing the power of the Min Family had always been what Feng wanted to do the most. If he was sure that Min Ting wasn’t an enemy, she could rope him in and help Feng.

She really needed to think more. Look at her now, such a brilliant idea just popped up in her head.

“It’s not a big deal. There’s nothing inconvenient to say about it.”

Yan Jinyu smiled and continued, “A few days ago, I did meet a few killers who blocked my way. I was with Brother Nine at that time.” It wasn’t a lie, but she didn’t elaborate.i

Min Ting wasn’t Yin Jiujin. Although he wasn’t an enemy, there was no need for her to tell him too much. It wasn’t that she was afraid that he would find out, but she couldn’t be bothered to say it.

“Those killers were hired by Qiu Jian of the Qiu Family in the capital. However, there’s no longer any Qiu Family in the capital now. I’m sure Third Young Master Min knows about this too.”

“Miss Yan, do you think that Qin Bailu actually hired those killers?”

Before Yan Jinyu could reply, Min Ting continued, “No matter who hired the killer, is there something wrong with that person’s brain? She actually chose when Second Brother was present to attack you. Are they here to kill you or to court death?”

“They’re probably looking for death,” Xi Fengling answered.

Seeing that Min Ting was looking over, Xi Fengling smiled seductively, “Why are you looking at me like that? I didn’t say anything wrong. With Master Nine around, aren’t those people looking for death?”

“I have a feeling that’s not entirely what you mean.”

He looked at Xi Fengling, then at Yan Jinyu. “I don’t know why, but I just feel that you’re very familiar with Eldest Miss Yan. It’s as if you’ve known each other for a long time.”

“Didn’t I say just now that I hit it off with the little beauty? It’s probably because we hit it off and are destined to be friends that’s why you feel that I am familiar with her.”

“…” Min Ting. Did she think he was stupid?

Xi Fengling took a sip of red wine and placed the wine glass on the table. She changed her posture and crossed her legs as she looked at Min Ting. Although she still had her charming smile on her face, her expression was obviously more serious. “Alright, let’s cut the crap. I shared this table with Third Young Master Min today because I have something serious to discuss with Third Young Master Min.”

In the beginning, she naturally didn’t want to talk about serious matters. She simply knew that Min Ting had asked Yin Jiujin to meet him here and saw that Min Ting had brought Qin Bailu along, so she specially followed him over.

Firstly, it was to meet Yin Jiujin.

Secondly, it was to teach Qin Bailu a lesson.

They actually dared to find an assassin to deal with Beauty Yu! Even though those lowly assassins were completely unable to do anything to Beauty Yu, if Beauty Yu went all out, they probably wouldn’t even have the chance to attack. They would have died the moment Beauty Yu sensed their existence.

But no matter what, she could not forgive her for trying to kill Beauty Yu!

If Beauty Yu hadn’t said that Qin Bailu was still useful, she would have already killed her in the capital. Why would she leave her in North City to be an eyesore to Beauty Yu?

From the fact that she had subconsciously thrown the cigarette at Qin Bailu instead of backward, it was obvious how much she disliked her.

It was a completely subconscious action.

Even though she hadn’t suggested sharing a table for business at the beginning, now that she heard Yin Jiujin say that Min Ting wasn’t their enemy and that she and Min Rufeng had returned to the capital for three years, she more or less understood Min Ting. After hearing what Beauty Yu said to Min Ting later, she already had a plan.

Because she had already guessed Beauty Yu’s plan.

This was a tacit understanding that had been cultivated through years of life and death together.

“Business?” Min Ting frowned slightly.

He was not stupid. He could roughly guess what she was about to say.

“Yes, serious business. I think Third Young Master Min also knows about my relationship with Min Rufeng. I won’t hide it from Third Young Master Min. Min Rufeng only has one goal—the Min Family. I know that Third Young Master Min doesn’t want the Min Family’s power. Of course, Third Young Master Min doesn’t seem to have what it takes to control the Min Family either.”

Min Ting, “…You don’t have to emphasize the last sentence.”

“Min Rufeng wants to take over the Min Family. Third Young Master Min doesn’t have the heart or the ability to do so but you also have to rely on the Min Family to take advantage of the situation. Do you want to cooperate with us?”

“It’s true that I want to rely on the Min Family’s influence and I’m indeed not interested in the Min Family’s power. However, in terms of medical skills in the Min Family, Min Nan is the best in medicine among the younger generation. If Min Rufeng wants to seize power, what’s his advantage compared to Min Nan?”

“Third Young Master Min will see Min Rufeng’s advantage sooner or later.” Min Rufeng was not good at anything else. Tsk, she dared to say that it was very difficult to find a match for him in terms of medical skills.

“Third Young Master Min, do you think I would like Min Rufeng if he’s really useless?”

Min Ting did not doubt that. Xi Fengling didn’t seem to be after Min Rufeng’s looks. After all, in terms of looks, he was better than Min Rufeng.

At the thought of this, Min Ting’s lips twitched.

What was he thinking about?

Xi Fengling was not his type. Fortunately, she didn’t like him, or he wouldn’t have been able to take it.

“That’s true, but my second cousin has been back in the capital for three years. Why is he still jobless now? He’s even more carefree than a playboy like me.”

“If he really has the ability, three years is enough for him to reveal his talent. Why is he still unknown until now? Even the reason why he isn’t bullied in the capital is because of you.”
