Chapter 254: Chapter 254 - The Master Of Jealousy

“I’m actually not very familiar with Auntie Bai. I can’t say what kind of person she is. Brother Qin is here. Auntie Bai is Brother Qin’s stepmother. Brother Qin should know Auntie Bai better than an outsider like me. If Miss Huo and Miss Yan want to know what kind of person Auntie Bai is, why don’t you ask Brother Qin?”

After saying that, she saw that everyone was looking at her and Qin Hao also flicked a glance at her. Min Sisi was suddenly a little flustered, “W-What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?”

Yan Jinyu retracted her gaze and smiled. “No, you’re right. Compared to you, Young Master Qin really should understand his stepmother better.”

“However, I think Young Master Qin wouldn’t want to talk about Bai Shuangshuang.”

Huo Siyu answered at the right time, “Beauty Yu is right. She’s a woman who was a mistress. Qin Hao naturally doesn’t care to talk about her.”

After saying that, Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu both looked at Min Sisi.

However, Min Sisi’s expression remained unchanged.

They looked at each other.

Min Sisi did not even show any flaws. Either she really had nothing to do with Bai Shuangshuang, or she was very good at concealing.

“Forget it, I’m just a little curious. Since Eldest Miss Min isn’t familiar with Bai Shuangshuang, let’s not talk about her,” Yan Jinyu said.

She glanced at Huo Siyu.

Huo Siyu understood immediately and called out to everyone, “Don’t sit. Come, come, drink and sing. Do whatever you like. Don’t make the atmosphere so stifling.”

After saying that, she changed the light music in the private room. The music wasn’t very intense, but it was more lively than the light music earlier.

Yan Jinyu stopped talking. She leaned lazily on the sofa with the glass of water and lowered her eyes as she drank the water.

She had already confirmed most of the things that needed to be confirmed. Since that was the case, there was no need for her to waste her time caring about it.

As for the uncertainties, they could talk about them later.

Perhaps, the other party would expose themselves. Or perhaps, she would suddenly be interested and investigate seriously.

Huo Xuan and Qin Hao were both smart people.

Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu had cooperated so well. Huo Xuan was already observing Yan Jinyu. Qin Hao’s gaze mostly focused on Huo Siyu, so he naturally found something.

So, were they trying to sound Min Sisi out?

What was wrong with that Bai Shuangshuang?

If there was something wrong with Bai Shuangshuang, why did she want to get information from Min Sisi? Could it be that Min Sisi and Bai Shuangshuang were related?

Also, with Yan Jinyu’s personality, she definitely wouldn’t invite these people upstairs for no reason as they weren’t very close to them.

This was Qin Hao and Huo Xuan’s thoughts.

Especially Huo Xuan.

Compared to Qin Hao, he had interacted with Yan Jinyu a lot more and knew her better than Qin Hao.

Outside the private room earlier, he was a little surprised to hear that these people were invited by Yan Jinyu.

However, he couldn’t figure out what was so special about these people that Yan Jinyu treated them so abnormally.

Yan Jinyu stopped talking, so Luo Qiu and Min Sisi, who were sitting beside her, also fell silent.

Luo Qiu was fine, but she simply felt that she better don’t talk too much. Min Sisi held her glasses to hide the emotions in her eyes.

Yan Jinyu was indeed a strange person. Ever since she was young, this was the first time she was so careful in front of someone. She was afraid that Yan Jinyu would see through her if she wasn’t careful.

It seemed like she had to take her time to deal with Yan Jinyu.

Speaking of which, it was also Min Guili and Bai Shuangshuang’s fault for not doing their job well. They couldn’t even settle a two-year-old child back then, and Yan Jinyu even managed to learn a lot of skills from somewhere.

If they had known that this was the case, they wouldn’t have planned that kidnapping back then. Perhaps, Yan Jinyu wouldn’t be so difficult to deal with if she had grown up in the Yan Family.

Indeed, Min Sisi was thinking too much.

If she had really grown up in the Yan Family, how could the intelligent Yan Jinyu be ordinary?

She might not be easy to deal with either.

At this moment, Min Sisi’s thoughts were that if she didn’t have to wait for Min Rufeng to come back and probe his words, she would leave now.

She really didn’t want to stay in the same room with Yan Jinyu anymore.

Yan Jinyu drank half a glass of water before her phone rang.

Min Sisi, who was sitting beside her, looked up and saw the caller ID on her phone—Brother Nine.

Yin Jiujin!

When Yan Jinyu saw the caller ID, a glint that Min Sisi had never seen before flashed in her eyes.

She looked very happy to receive Yin Jiujin’s call.

Their relationship seemed to have far exceeded her understanding.

She had never expected this to happen.

She had interacted with Yin Jiujin before. He was an extremely indifferent person who was even very cold to his mother, let alone others.

She had never thought that he would value someone so much one day.

Yan Jinyu was indeed not easy to deal with.

Just as Min Sisi was thinking about it, Yan Jinyu stood up. “I’ll go and answer a call.” She said this to Huo Siyu.

Huo Siyu nodded.

At the same time, it also implied that she would help Yan Jinyu keep an eye on these people.

Yan Jinyu didn’t go far. The luxurious private room had a balcony.

Yan Jinyu opened the soundproof glass door and walked to the balcony. As she closed the soundproof glass door, she answered the call.

“Brother Nine.”

In a standalone office on the top floor of the office building beside the Empire Building, Yin Jiujin sat on a large chair behind his desk. He turned the chair around and looked out of the building through the floor-to-ceiling window with his back facing the door.

There was heavy traffic downstairs.

Hearing Yan Jinyu’s voice, Yin Jiujin’s cold expression didn’t change, but his deep and cold eyes carried a hint of gentleness.

“You’re still in the hospital?”

“No, I left the hospital long ago. At Meimei’s bar.”

Yin Jiujin’s hand that was holding his phone jerked. “Why did you go there again?” Indeed, it was better to be in North City. Other than having one or two people to deal with, the young lady usually stayed by his side. It wasn’t like that after she came to the capital.

She had a big group of people here, and she would go out as soon as they asked her out.

The two of them had only been so intimate last night, but she already left him alone today.

Should he delay and stay in North City as much as possible so that they wouldn’t return to the capital so soon?

No, no. The young lady said that she would only get engaged to him after they returned to the capital for good.

“Huo Xuan seemed to have seen something when Feng was treating him, so he wanted to find a quiet place to talk. However, after coming to Mei Feng, we encountered a small incident.”

“A small incident?”

“It’s nothing. I just discovered something interesting, but it’s not important. I won’t talk to you for the time being. I’ll tell you in detail after I figure it out.”

“Mm-hm.”

Yin Jiujin said, “Don’t interfere in Huo Xuan’s matters. He’s quite smart. It’s only a matter of time before he finds out.”

“I know. Little Rain trusts him. It’s fine if he knows.” Actually, even if Little Rain didn’t trust Huo Xuan, it didn’t matter if Huo Xuan knew.

Ghost Slaughter’s people were not completely eradicated. If Ghost Slaughter wanted to fight to the death in the end, the chances of their identities being exposed were very high.

Most importantly, Huo Xuan was smart and he was already suspicious of them. Just as Yin Jiujin had said, it was only a matter of time before Huo Xuan found out.

“So, Little Yu’er, do you trust Huo Xuan too?”

Yan Jinyu was stunned.

What did this have to do with whether she trusted Huo Xuan or not?

Furthermore, why did she feel that Yin Jiujin’s words contained a hint of jealousy?

“It doesn’t matter if I believe him or not. What’s important is that Little Rain believes me.” She was already his, but he was still so petty and jealous.

“Oh right, Brother Nine, I saw that young master from the Qin Family.”

“So?”

Yan Jinyu chuckled. “So what? Brother Nine, are you serious? You’re even jealous of Young Master Qin? That’s Little Rain’s fiancé. Besides, you knew him very well.”

“I simply don’t want to hear you mention other men.”

“…” Yan Jinyu.

“You saw him. And?”

When Yan Jinyu heard that, she raised her eyebrows. “Brother Nine, didn’t you not want to hear me mention other men?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yin Jiujin was exasperated.

“But Brother Nine, you’re right. Even if Qin Hao knows Little Rain’s identity, he might not be an enemy.”

It was actually very easy to tell if there was someone in his eyes.

Besides, she, who was very clever, had already observed him carefully.

“Mm-hm.”

Yin Jiujin’s response was very meaningful.

Anyway, Yan Jinyu could tell that he trusted Qin Hao very much.

“Brother Nine…”

“What?”

Yan Jinyu looked at the passers-by below the balcony and suddenly smiled. “Nothing.” At first, she was indeed a little unhappy when she found out that Yin Jiujin had someone he cared about very much when he was in the army. He even cared so much about the form of address the person had for him.

Of course, she was still very unhappy now.

However, Yin Jiujin’s mood would definitely be affected if this matter was brought up again.

Forget it. She could ask him again when the time was right.

She wanted to see who it was that actually called him “Nine” so intimately and even made Yin Jiujin care so much.

Yan Jinyu didn’t realize that she had actually changed a lot when it came to Yin Jiujin.

If it was in the past, she would definitely ask any doubts at the first moment and not hide them.

She endured it this time and didn’t ask. Other than feeling that this wouldn’t affect her relationship with Yin Jiujin, she also didn’t want to cut open Yin Jiujin’s scars again.

It was still that same sentence. This was her man, so she felt sorry for him.

However, Yin Jiujin felt that she must have something to ask. “Is it really nothing?”

“It’s really nothing. I just want to call you.”

Regardless of whether it was really nothing, these words of love undoubtedly made him very happy.

“Mm-hm.”

“By the way, Brother Nine, how’s the investigation that I asked your assistant to investigate for me?” Yin Jiujin’s assistant was Lin Zimu.

However, Yan Jinyu didn’t personally ask Lin Zimu to investigate. She said that she wanted to investigate this matter, so Yin Jiujin took on the responsibility and instructed Lin Zimu to do it.

“We’ve got to the bottom of it.”

***

At the same time, in a VIP ward in the Imperial Capital Hospital.

There was a person sitting on the bed and someone standing beside her.

The person standing was a man in sportswear and a baseball cap.

The brim of his cap was lowered slightly, revealing only half of his face.

Although it was only half a face, it was not difficult to tell that he was Yin Jiujin’s assistant, Lin Zimu.

The person sitting on the bed was Qin Bailu.

At that moment, Qin Bailu was reading a few documents.

“Second Miss Qin, are you done reading?”

Qin Bailu’s hand trembled. “T-this is impossible! This isn’t true!”
