Yin Yuhanâs lips twitched when he heard that.
His father was considered a big shot. He was usually such an old-fashioned person, but he actually said such words. It seemed like he was indeed very angry.
He was initially angry too, but after hearing this, his anger dissipated.
He stood up. âDad, Mom, Iâll go accompany Jianjia.â
Yin Wuzhan glanced at him and didnât interfere. He continued to look at Min Qinglan and said, âJianjia is right. Itâs fine if you lose a son, but donât let the Yin Family lose a Second Young Master. Isnât the lesson from that incident back then enough?â
âDad has always been a man of his word. Since he said that whoever provoked Jinâer during this trip to North City will get out of the Yin Family, heâs not joking.â
âBesides, if you really donât know your limits and anger Jinâer, making him distance himself from us even more, even if Dad doesnât pursue the matter, I wonât let it go.â
Min Qinglanâs eyes widened, âYin Wuzhan, what do you mean by that?!â
âI think you should understand.â
âYou! How can you treat me like this! You clearly didnât treat me like this in the past!â
Yin Wuzhan looked at her with a complicated expression. âMin Qinglan, you werenât like this in the past either.â
They didnât marry for family alliance, but for love.
Although Min Qinglan was the one who pursued Yin Wuzhan first in the beginning, it was undeniable that Yin Wuzhan really liked her and that was why he got together with her.
Yin Wuzhan was the head of the Yin Family after Old Master retired. Someone who could prop up the Yin Family after Old Master and maintain the Yin Familyâs status couldnât be simple.
And such a Yin Wuzhan, Min Qinglan, whom he had taken a fancy to in his early years, was naturally not like this before either.
Perhaps, everyone would change at a point in their lives.
A lifetime was so long. Some people might change at any time.
Yin Wuzhanâs words stunned Min Qinglan. She was actually speechless for a long time.
After saying that, Yin Wuzhan fell silent.

In the living room, Yan Jinyu was waiting for Yin Jiujin when she suddenly heard footsteps behind her.
She turned around and saw Qin Jianjia walking towards her.
Qin Jianjia smiled gently. âYuâer.â
Yan Jinyu smiled back at her. âSister-in-law.â
âDonât treat Sister-in-law as an outsider. Before I married into the Yin Family, I treated Jinâer as my biological younger brother.â
âI know.â She really knew. She couldnât find more information about the Yin Family, but she had found out about Yin Jiujin and the Qin Familyâs Eldest Young Master, Qin Hao. She naturally knew about Qin Jianjia, Qin Haoâs sister.
Including her attitude towards Yin Jiujin, her biological brotherâs good friend.
Qin Jianjia didnât know if she really knew or was pretending to know. However, it seemed like she didnât take her anger out on her.
This was good.
âThe many photos of Jinâer when he was young that we mentioned previously are true. You really have to go to the Yin Family to take a look when youâre freeâ¦â
As she spoke, Qin Jianjia paused for a moment before continuing to look at Yan Jinyu. Her expression became more serious, âJinâer hasnât returned to the Yin Family for more than half a year. The last time he went back was during the New Year. He didnât stay long when he went back and he left after eating the New Yearâs Eve meal.â
âAfter Jinâer turned 16, he only returned to the Yin Family at most three times a year. There were two years when he only returned once.â
âAnd Jinâer is actually a very family-oriented person. If it wasnât for the incident back thenâ¦â
As she spoke, she met Yan Jinyuâs smiling clear eyes. Qin Jianjia was puzzled and couldnât help but ask, âArenât you curious about what happened back then that made Jinâer so distant from his family?â
Yan Jinyu smiled and shook her head. âIâm not curious.â
She was naturally curious, but she didnât investigate, so she naturally didnât intend to ask from others.
If Yin Jiujin wanted her to know, he would naturally tell her.
Her answer surprised Qin Jianjia.
Not curious?
Of course, she didnât believe her. However, Yan Jinyuâs expression looked really⦠hard to tell.
She smiled. âLetâs not talk about that first. If youâre free, go take a look at the Yin Family.â
âIf you go to the Yin Family as a guest, Jinâer will definitely not feel at ease letting you go aloneâ¦â
âLittle Yu,â Yin Jiujin, who had taken a beige windbreaker from the stairs, suddenly interrupted Qin Jianjia.
He simply glanced at Qin Jianjia indifferently.
Qin Jianjia shut up sheepishly.
It seemed like the conversation was over.
At this moment, Yin Yuhan also walked over. Looking at Yin Jiujin, who was holding a windbreaker and personally putting it on Yan Jinyu, Yin Yuhan was surprised, but he didnât show it on his face.
He only said, âMom is like that. Donât take her words to heart.â
Yin Jiujin helped Yan Jinyu put on her windbreaker. When he heard that, he glanced at Yin Yuhan and replied with a âMmmâ without any emotions. Then, he gently pulled Yan Jinyuâs long hair out of the collar of her shirt and helped her tidy it up.
Without caring if anyone was present, he lowered his head and pecked her on the forehead before holding one of her hands. âLetâs go.â
âDo you mind if we go together? Your brother and I havenât come to Mount Jing for a long time,â Qin Jianjia replied.
Yin Jiujinâs gaze swept past her. âUp to you.â
He held Yan Jinyuâs hand and was about to walk out.
Just as they was about to walk to the entrance, they saw Aunt Cheng carrying something that looked like a soup bowl. âMiss Yu.â
Yan Jinyu looked at the things she was carrying and her smile deepened. âAunt Cheng, are youâ¦â She thought that Yin Jiujin had secretly taken medicine from Min Rufeng behind her back again.
âOh, this is chicken soup. I specially prepared it for you. I saw that you didnât drink it at the dining table just now, so I specially prepared a bowl for you.â.
Hearing that it was chicken soup and not medicine, Yan Jinyu couldnât help but heave a sigh of relief. She raised her hand and took it. âThank you, Aunt Cheng.â
She didnât think much of it when she tilted her head back and drank it. However, Yin Jiujin saw the bruise on her neck because of her action of tilting her head back and then glanced at the chicken soup she was drinking.
His gaze was meaningful.
