Although Cheng Lin was a chauffeur, he was really one of Master Nineâs subordinates. Normally, he would never step foot into the Yan Family. Now that he was here, she knew that he was here for Yan Jinyu.
She didnât expect Master Nine to value that girl so much!
Although she was unhappy, she did not dare to give Master Nineâs men any displeasure. She could only suppress her anger and put on a smile. âOh, itâs Mr. Cheng. Why did you come to the Yan Family at this timeâ¦â
âMrs. Yan, Iâm here on Master Nineâs orders to deliver something to Miss Yan.â
âSending something to Jinyu? What are they?â She squinted at the bag Cheng Lin was carrying. However, she only saw a few gift boxes inside but she didnât know what they were exactly.
âIâm not sure either. Master Nine personally instructed someone to prepare it. Iâm only responsible for sending it over. However, it looks like it should be something for her hands⦠I heard from Special Assistant Lin that on the way back from fetching Miss Yan, Master Nine noticed the calluses on Miss Yanâs hands.â
Cheng Lin tried to see if there was any guilt or heartache in Fu Yaâs eyes, but he was disappointed.
It was fine if she did not feel guilty or heartbroken, but Fu Yaâs eyes even flashed with disdain.
Was Miss Yan really her biological daughter?
Who would treat their own child like that?
âOh, is that so? Please thank Master Nine for his concern. Jinyu is in the living room. Since Mr. Cheng is here to deliver something to Jinyu, please enter the house directly. I have something urgent to attend to, so I have to leave the house immediately. Please excuse me.â If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would not be able to maintain the forced smile on her face.
If Cheng Lin hadnât come for that girl, she would have been happy to entertain him, but he had indeed come for her.
âIf Mrs. Yan has something to do, go ahead and do it.â After being by Master Nineâs side for so many years, not to mention North City, even in the capital, people had to give him some due respect. This Mrs. Yan⦠It wasnât that he enjoyed the feeling of being flattered, but he felt that Madam Yan was being very ungraceful. It was no wonder that after the two elders of the Yan Family passed away, the Yan Family became increasingly worse.
He was just an outsider and a subordinate of Master Nine. If he could be implicated because he came to the Yan Family to deliver something to Miss Yan, then it was obvious that Miss Yanâs life in the Yan Family couldnât have been easy.
Poor Miss Yan. She was just a young girl under the age of 18.
If it wasnât for the fact that Master Nine was too busy to leave, he really wanted to call Master Nine and tell him everything that happened here so that Master Nine could take Miss Yan away.
Forget it. They should wait for Master Nine to finish his work first. No matter what, the Yan Family was still a big family in North City. Even if they were biased, they probably wouldnât dare to go overboard.
He had arrived at the living room of the Yan Familyâs main building and saw Yan Jinyu sitting there watching television.
From this angle, he could only see her back.
It was very thin.
The servants nearby were busy with their own things. Their expressions were also very strange when they looked at her occasionally. In these strange expressions, there was no respect for the eldest daughter of the Yan Family, only sympathy and disdain.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Lin, who had never been an emotional person, felt a lump in his throat.
She should be the eldest daughter of the Yan Family, but even the servants dared to disregard her in her own home.
How heartbreaking and infuriating.
It seemed like he had to tell Master Nine about what happened here once he was done.
âMiss Yan.â
Yan Jinyu was considering if she should get another packet of yogurt just as she heard someone calling her. She turned around and when she saw who it was, the frustration in her heart dissipated.
Yin Jiujinâs man.
âMm-hm.â Her gaze landed on the gift bag that he was carrying and she asked with a smile, âDid Brother Nine ask you to deliver something?â Her eyes curved into crescents and she smiled from the bottom of her heart.
She was such an innocent young girl. How could the Yan Family bear to treat her like that?
At first, Cheng Lin didnât dare to disrespect this Miss Yan because he saw that Master Nineâs attitude towards her was different. But now, he had liked her from the bottom of his heart.
Perhaps, compared to going back to the Yan Family to live the life of a âyoung mistressâ, continuing to live in a remote and small place might be more tiring, but it might be more suitable for Miss Yan.
He walked over and stood beside the sofa. He said with a respectful and kind smile, âYes, Miss Yan. Master Nine got me to specially send these over. They are all hand-protecting items. Master Nine wants you to use them every day according to the instructions on the manual.â
Yan Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly. âOh? So soon?â He had just mentioned it yesterday, and he had already asked someone to send it over so early in the morning.
It seemed like he really took this matter to heart.
The smile in her eyes became more sincere. âPut the things down. This is not my territory, so I canât entertain you. If you have something to do, please go ahead.â
Not her territoryâ¦
It was supposed to be a very heroic sentence, yet it sounded very sad.
This was clearly her home.
âMiss Yan doesnât have to bother about me. I happen to have something to do as well, so Iâll leave after giving you these. Master Nine isnât in North City, so Miss Yan can call me if you need anything.â He pointed at the gift bag that he had just put down. âIâve placed a name card inside.â
Yan Jinyu flicked a glance at him before she smiled and nodded, âAlright.â This personâs attitude towards her was a little different. Yesterday, he did not dare to slight her because of his respect for Yin Jiujin, but today, it wasnât completely because of that.
He was a good person who felt pity for the weak.
However, he was thinking too much. Other than occasionally feeling frustrated in the Yan Family, she did not suffer any grievances.
After a moment of hesitation, Cheng Lin said, âThe weather outside is perfect. Itâs inevitable that Miss Yan will be bored staying at home. Why donât you go out for a walk?â He quickly added, âMiss Yan hasnât been back to North City for a long time, so you must be very unfamiliar with the current North City. I can find two girls around your age to guide you if you need.â
Yan Jinyu smiled. He was indeed someone who was by Yin Jiujinâs side. His words were so flawless. Facing a young lady, who had grown up in a remote village and was suddenly brought back to such a wealthy family, his words could be said to be thinking for her and yet not hurting her pride.
âThereâs no need for that. Iâve never had such a carefree life as a rich young lady. I plan to enjoy it for a few days first.â
These words soundedâ¦
âIn that case, give me a call when you want to go out, Miss Yan. Iâll find a guide for you.â
After Cheng Lin left the Yan Family, the servants of the Yan Family felt very complicated after they saw how he was both concerned and respectful towards Yan Jinyu.
Cheng Lin was Master Nineâs trusted aide. His attitude towards their young mistress represented Master Nineâs attitude towards her
Even their master had to suck up to someone like Master Nine, so they didnât dare to mistreat someone that Master valued.
Therefore, shortly after, there were cut fruits and snacks on the coffee table in front of Yan Jinyu as she watched television in the living room.
Her treatment was excellent.
The butler came over to greet her personally even when she was simply done sitting and was about to leave.
âMissy, the flowers in the backyard are blooming nicely. You must be tired after sitting for so long. Do you want to go and take a look?â
The butler of the Yan Family now wasnât the same one as before. This was a man in his fifties. It was said that after the Yan Familyâs old madam passed away, the old butler left his post and went to guard the Yan Familyâs old residence. Yan Qingyu hired this new butler after that.
For some reason, the butler felt a little scared when he saw her smiling at him. He suppressed that strange feeling and smiled ingratiatingly. âOh, my surname is Wan. Iâm the Yan Familyâs butler. Missy can just call me Butler Wan like everyone else.â
