The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 220 - Not Letting Go

Chapter 220: Not Letting Go

“I’m indeed angry now, but not at you. I’m angry at myself.”

Yan Jinyu paused and looked at him. “Brother Nine…”

However, she did not know what to say.

If he was angry with her, she could just explain.

However, he was angry with himself. Or rather, he blamed himself.

He blamed himself for not caring about her in the early years and so he didn’t hold any weight in her heart. He even blamed himself for not looking for her in the early years and letting her experience those…

Yan Jinyu knew all these.

After a long while, Yan Jinyu sighed softly, “Brother Nine, just treat this as fate’s arrangement for us to meet again.”

“Perhaps you should thank Brother Nine. No, it should be said that we should all thank Bai Ye for his existence. If Feng hadn’t suddenly contacted me and said that he had found out that the death of Bai Ye, whom I owed a favor to, might have been related to the Yin Family and made me think of coming back, you might not have been able to see me now…”

After being in a daze for three years, she had long felt that it was meaningless. If she didn’t cherish her life too much… Oh, during the period when Feng contacted her, she didn’t seem to cherish her life as much as before. Three years without any goal could easily wear down one’s willpower.

And her only remaining will was to cherish this life.

If even this was worn away, then she…

If Feng had not contacted her at that time and happened to tell her this, giving her a little motivation to live, she would now…

Yan Jinyu retracted her thoughts and smiled at Yin Jiujin. “Of course, I’m afraid I won’t be able to meet Brother Nine either.”

However, Yin Jiujin stared at her and asked very seriously, “What do you mean by that?”

A wisp of fear and panic actually arose in his heart for no reason.

Perhaps it wasn’t for no reason. Yin Jiujin had actually already guessed something, but he refused to believe it inwardly.

Yan Jinyu smiled. “What else could it be? It’s just that if I don’t investigate the cause of Bai Ye’s death, I probably won’t come back. And if I don’t want to come back and deliberately hide my whereabouts, others won’t be able to find me, even you, Brother Nine.”

“If you can’t find me, naturally you won’t get to see me.”

“What you said just now isn’t that I couldn’t meet you, but… I wouldn’t get to see you.”

His gaze was sharp, and the emotions in his eyes were complicated. Yan Jinyu moved her gaze away without a trace and stopped looking at him. “Don’t they all mean the same thing?”

She then looked up and met his gaze again. “What I want to say is that you actually don’t have to think so much. The fact that we met again is actually a kind of fate. It’s destined. As for the rest, why do you have to pursue it?”

“Besides, speaking of our fate, wasn’t Liu Junqing, who wanted to kill you, dying in my hands in Crescent Jungle back then the best proof?”

Yin Jiujin stared at her.

In silence.

He knew that she wasn’t telling the truth, but he really hoped that it was that simple.

“Brother Nine, actually, you can’t blame anyone for this.”

“Before I returned to North City, I was indeed more familiar with Bai Ye than you. And at that time, in your eyes, I was only a missing fiancée who you only knew her name. Even if you heard my other name, you would only think that she was someone who had nothing to do with you. Even if she was related, you would at most be worried about whether she would become an enemy in the future.”

“It’s already heaven’s blessing that we met.”

Yan Jinyu, who only believed in herself and didn’t believe in fate, actually used the words “heaven’s blessing”. It was obvious that she was glad to have met Yin Jiujin.

Yin Jiujin knew her identity. When he suddenly heard her say this, he couldn’t calm down for a long time.

There were some things that they couldn’t deny their existence even if they could hint that they were not like that.

Yin Jiujin knew all of this.

Perhaps the young lady had really…

If that was really the case, where would he find such a likable, occasionally silly, wise, occasionally fierce and smart girl?

At the thought of this, he was only grateful to Bai Ye.

He deliberately separated Bai Ye and Feng Yun because he could not blame Feng Yun at all. Based on their blood relationship, he still had to thank the young lady for her efforts for Feng Yun.

He didn’t want to do that.

That was why he was angry. Actually, he was more angry at himself.

“Brother Nine, don’t be angry, okay?”

He could no longer be angry.

However, he was so stifled that he felt flustered. He felt that he probably owed Feng Yun in his previous life.

Yin Jiujin sighed softly and raised his hand to rub her head. He said seriously, “Stay by my side in the future. You’re not allowed to go anywhere. I’ll accompany you and protect you for the rest of your life.”

Yan Jinyu paused for a moment before taking his hand down. She held it with both hands and grinned. “Of course. I’ll be relying on Brother Nine for the rest of my life.”

She had said this to Feng on the phone when she first returned to the Yan Family. She said that since she didn’t know why she was alive, she would protect Yin Jiujin for the rest of her life…

She didn’t expect Yin Jiujin to say the same thing now.

Furthermore, even if she didn’t say it out loud, she knew that Yin Jiujin had guessed some things.

The car behind them honked, indicating that they could finally move forward.

Yin Jiujin retracted his hand and looked at her silly smile. As he sighed inwardly, he couldn’t help but raise his hand and pinch her tender cheek. “Yes, remember what you said.”

The car continued to move forward. Yan Jinyu asked, “Brother Nine, where are we going now?”

“It’s still early. I’ll bring you to Mount West Villa to take a look.”

However, a few seconds ago, the person sitting in the car that passed by them happened to see Yin Jiujin pinching Yan Jinyu’s cheek intimately.

Her face twisted.

The driver in front was so frightened that he didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. He was trembling all the way.

The person in the backseat was none other than Qin Bailu.

Ever since she returned to the capital from North City, Qin Bailu had been investigating Qiu Jian’s whereabouts for a long time, but there was still no news of her at all.

Then, her mother told her that since Master Nine would go to the Lingering Garden every time he returned to the capital, Yu Qingwan might really be very important to Master Nine.

With her mother’s support, she naturally had to teach Yu Qingwan a lesson before Master Nine returned to the capital.

However, there were many people from Master Nine guarding the Lingering Garden. Not to mention teaching Yu Qingwan a lesson, it was difficult for her to even get close to Yu Qingwan. Furthermore, she had two ballet competitions to attend. Hence, she had no time to do anything else.

When she finally came back from the competitions, Master Nine had caused such a huge commotion in the capital. She was so frightened that she didn’t dare to do anything for a period of time. She was afraid that Master Nine, who was angry, would catch hold of something and she would end up in a miserable state.

Until yesterday, when her mother told her that Master Nine had brought Yan Jinyu back to the capital and even brought her back to the Yin Family, she couldn’t sit still anymore.

However, facing Master Nine, who was so ruthless and crippled so many enterprises in the capital in a fit of anger to teach so many people a lesson, she didn’t dare to act rashly at all.

However, she was really indignant.

What did it mean when Yan Jinyu followed Master Nine into the Yin Family?

It meant that Yan Jinyu had already received the Yin Family’s approval!

Didn’t Mrs. Yin have a potential daughter-in-law candidate? Why would she allow Yan Jinyu to enter the Yin Family?!

In order to understand the situation, she restrained her anger and got her mother to ask Mrs. Yin out.

Her mother wanted to see Mrs. Yin alone, but she really wanted to know Mrs. Yin’s attitude towards Yan Jinyu. She couldn’t sit still at all.

She wanted to follow her mom.

However, it was a small gathering between the elders, and it was not appropriate for a junior like her to follow. After thinking about it, she decided to call Min Sisi along.

Min Sisi agreed. After all, on the surface, her relationship with Min Sisi was not bad.

Now, she was going to the Min Family to pick Min Sisi up.

She didn’t expect to bump into Master Nine and Yan Jinyu on the road. The two of them were even so intimate!

Indignation! Jealousy!

She was the Second Missy of the Qin Family. How could she not be better than Yan Jinyu, a country girl?

Why did Master Nine treat that country girl so well but not even want to look at her?

Obviously, her indignation and jealousy had completely made Qin Bailu forget the last time she fled when she was frightened by Yan Jinyu.

“Second Missy, we’ve arrived at the Min Family.”

Outside the Min Family’s mansion, Qin Bailu, who was immersed in anger, indignation, and jealousy, was woken up from her angry daze by the driver’s voice.

Just as she was about to take out her phone to call Min Sisi, she saw a car dash out from the road behind them and almost hit a big tree. Fortunately, the driver reacted in time and braked. Otherwise, Qin Bailu would probably have witnessed the process of the accident.

She was so frightened that she almost dropped her phone.

Because she recognized whose car it was.

It was the eldest son of the Min Family, Min Nan’s car.

Was this drunk driving?!

Otherwise, how could a mature, stable, successful, and good driver like Eldest Young Master Min make such a low-level mistake?

Qin Bailu, who had gone to the competitions, didn’t know what had happened to the Min Family now. In her understanding, Min Nan was the outstanding heir of the Min Family. Min Rufeng was an illegitimate son who relied on women, and Min Ting was a hedonistic son.

As for Min Nan’s driving skills, it was because she had seen Min Nan and Min Ting race together before.

Although Min Nan’s driving skills were far inferior to Min Ting, the fun-loving playboy, many people who liked to race could not compare to him.

That was why Qin Bailu felt that his driving skills were good.

“Second Missy, it seems to be Eldest Young Master Min’s car.”

“I know. Go get someone from the Min Family. I’ll go take a look.”

Of course, Qin Bailu was not worried about Min Nan’s life. She just did not want anything to happen to Min Nan at this time, or else, she would have made this trip for nothing.

If anything happened to Min Nan, Min Sisi, as Min Nan’s biological sister, would definitely not leave Min Nan behind and follow her out.

If Min Sisi wasn’t with her, what excuse should she find to attend the elders’ gathering and figure out Mrs. Yin’s attitude towards Yan Jinyu?

She got out of the car and walked to Min Nan’s car. She saw Min Nan sitting in the driver’s seat.

Min Nan did not look injured, but his face was pale. His forehead was covered in cold sweat and his body was trembling.

She knocked on the half-opened car window. “Brother Min, what’s wrong with you? Do you have a fever?”

Min Ting looked up and saw his gaze. Qin Bailu instinctively took two steps back.

She was not frightened, but shocked.

If she was not wrong, was there… deep fear in Min Nan’s eyes just now?
