Feng Chen wanted to talk to her alone. Yan Jinyu didn’t expect that.

Ever since she stepped into the Feng Family, it was mostly Luo Linlin and Feng Yuan talking to her. Although Feng Chen would chime in occasionally, he rarely spoke.

“Your aunt is usually very talkative. Don’t mind her.

Yan Jinyu smiled, “No, I know that Auntie is doing this for my own good. If she didn’t tell me all that, I wouldn’t know anything about the families in North City.”

Feng Chen only felt that her smile was very sincere and clean. The information she revealed to him was that she had already remembered this little bit of kindness they had shown her.

They had all been tainted by the conflicts of their families. Even Feng Yuan, who was not very reliable, did not have such a clear gaze like hers. Feng Chen sighed in his heart. With her like this, without the protection of the Yan Family, who knew what would happen to her in North City in the future.

Feng Chen hesitated again.

A young lady like her could hardly protect herself in North City. Was it appropriate for him to tell her about that?

The sharp Yan Jinyu quickly realized that there was hesitation on Feng Chen’s face. Her eyes darkened slightly and her smile remained unchanged, “What does Uncle want to say to me?”

Since they had specially sent Feng Yuan away and even let the head of the Feng family tell her personally, Yan Jinyu didn’t think that it was a small matter.

Feng Chen was about to tell her and when he met her big round eyes. Then, Feng Chen hesitated again, “It’s nothing…”

“Uncle, if there’s anything that I should know, just say it out. Even if you don’t say it now, I will find out sooner or later.”

Feng Yuan was slightly stunned, then he carefully sized her up.

Her clear gaze and faint smile gave people the feeling that she was very pure and clean and she had no schemes and was easily deceived.

Of course, this was just his feeling from before.

Now that he looked at Yan Jinyu again, Feng Chen didn’t think so any longer. Even though she still looked the same and her smile didn’t change at all.

He suddenly remembered that ever since she appeared in the Feng Family, she did not show any signs of cowardice. Although she did not speak much, her speech and actions were polite. It was totally not like what he had found out—a 17-year-old girl who had dropped out of school to work for three years after graduating from a junior high school in a rural orphanage—and from the beginning to the end, she always had that comforting smile on her face…

This in itself was unusual.

Only now did he realize that! As the head of the Feng Family, when did he become so unalert?

Yan Jinyu knew what Feng Chen was thinking about. She didn’t explain nor intentionally show her different side. She just smiled and said, “There’s something Uncle might not know. I still remember the things before I met the kidnappers.”

Hearing that, Feng Chen said, “I see.” No wonder her actions were not impolite and she did not show any fear in front of them.

It was fine as long as she remembered her past memories. He had thought that she was not what he had found out. Even the information that Yin Jiujin had found out was that she had grown up in an orphanage in a remote town. If even this was fake, then…

Feng Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

“You said you still remember what happened in the past, then why… why didn’t you come back to North City?”

“When I first returned to the Yan Family, my parents had also asked about it. In the early years, I didn’t have the ability to come back. Later on, when I had the ability to come back, I found out that my grandparents were no longer around and so I didn’t want to come back.”

Feng Chen remained silent for a long time.

Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya’s behavior was indeed… If it were him, he might not want to return to such a home either.

“Even if that’s the case, you should still…” Should still what? She was supposed to come back?” You should send a letter back and let us know where you are. Not that it’ll help much, but at least it won’t make your life so hard over the years.”

He didn’t ask her why she suddenly came back after so many years. In Feng Chen’s eyes, it was good enough that she was back.

“Thank you for your concern, Uncle. I’ve been doing well all these years. You can rest assured.”

Doing well?

How could he not know if she was well or not? He had already investigated her background over the years.

“Let’s not talk about the past. Uncle, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly. I remember that I’m a daughter of the Yan Family. I also remember the teachings of my grandparents when I was young. My resilience isn’t that bad.”

Feng Chen recalled that Yan Jinyu’s grandfather, Yan Qi, and his grandmother, Feng Yan, were both formidable figures. The girl that they raised should not be too far off from them, so he stopped hesitating.

However, he had never thought that even if a two-year-old child had been taught by the elders, how much could she be taught? Moreover, in the eyes of the elders back then, Yan Jinyu was still a retard who couldn’t even speak when she was two years old. It was impossible for them to teach her too much.

“Your grandparents have never given up on looking for you all these years. After the two elders passed away, your aunt and I would occasionally ask around with some business friends. Although we still couldn’t find you, we managed to find out about some things.”

Asking around? He had said it too lightly on purpose. They were clearly looking for her with all their might, time, and money. They were even willing to fall out with the Yan Family over this.

However, since Feng Chen didn’t want to say it, Yan Jinyu didn’t intend to mention it either. It was fine as long as she understood it in her heart.

“Uncle, what did you find out?” It actually made Feng Yuan hesitate.

“Since you still remember the past, you should still remember those kidnappers from back then…” Feng Chen was worried that mentioning the kidnappers would remind her of the past and make her afraid. He paused and observed her expression. When he saw that her expression was normal, he continued,” Those kidnappers are not ordinary. ”

Yan Jinyu didn’t expect that.

As for the kidnappers that she had met back then, she had investigated them casually after she had the ability. The result was that they were dead and so she did not investigate further.

If those kidnappers were still alive, she would settle the score with them. After all, the difficult days that followed were all because of them. Since they were dead, she did not take it to heart. She had intended to find them to settle the score from back then, but now that they were dead, what was the point of settling the score?

Deducing from what Feng Chen said, those kidnappers had a background?

She put on a slightly surprised expression, “Not ordinary kidnappers?”

“Yes, those kidnappers all died after that. At that time, many people thought that they had committed another crime and were taken out by someone formidable. Later on, I found out that their deaths might be related to a big family in the capital.”

“Some big family in the capital? After they kidnapped Yun’er and me, they set their sights on the big family in the capital?” Although she asked this question, Yan Jinyu didn’t think so in her heart. She didn’t think that Feng Chen would mention the cause of the kidnappers’ deaths to her for no reason.

“That’s not it.” Feng Chen sighed softly. “I don’t know if it’s right or wrong to tell you this. However, if I don’t tell you, I’m afraid you’ll fall into someone else’s trap if you don’t take the necessary precautions in the future.”

“Uncle, do you mean that the death of those kidnappers is not only related to a big family in the capital but also our Yan Family? Or perhaps, the kidnapping of Yun’er and I is related to a big family in the capital? Is someone trying to get rid of Yun’er and me?”

Feng Chen nodded approvingly. “You’re very smart. You thought of so many things just because I mentioned it. But you’re wrong about one thing. Those people’s goal is not to get rid of you and Jinyun, but to get rid of you.”

Yan Jinyu understood him now.

Yan Jinyun was implicated because of her.

“Are you asking why the big families in the capital want to get rid of you?”
