âItâs not anything important. Itâs just that itâs rare for me to ask Miss Chu out and I want to say a few more wordsâ¦â
Chu Yiran stared at her and Min Sisi adjusted her glasses. âAlright, Iâll be honest. I asked Miss Chu out firstly because I want to get to know Miss Chu and make friends. Secondly, I want to ask Miss Chu something.â
âDo you have something to ask?â Chu Yiran looked at her appraisingly.
Min Sisi let Chu Yiran look at her calmly. âYes.â
âMiss Chu, please sit down first.â
Although Chu Yiranâs gaze did not change, thankfully, she sat down. Min Sisi sat down too.
âWhat do you want to ask?â
âI heard that Miss Chu and Master Nine have a very good relationship. I wonder if itâs true?â
Chu Yiran thought that Min Sisi knew about her background and specially came to confront her. She did not expect her to ask this.
She frowned. âWhy are you asking this?â
Min Sisi looked at her and suddenly smiled shyly. âI-Itâs like this. Iâve admired Master Nine since I was young and have always wanted to befriend him. However, Master Nine⦠You also know that Master Nine isnât easy to get to know, so I thought that if Miss Chu is really on good terms with Master Nine as the rumors say, can you help introduce me to him?â
She smiled shyly, but she sneered inwardly.
She was just testing if Chu Yiran had any feelings for Master Nine.
If Chu Yiran didnât, she could reluctantly accept the fact that Chu Yiran was also her fatherâs daughter. If she didâ¦
That meant that her father wasnât just concerned about her. Perhaps, her father had always used her as a cover and was actually paving the way for Chu Yiran.
She could not be blamed for thinking that way. It was really because her father had not contacted her for three years and his attitude towards her was so cold when she finally met him.
She had no choice but to overthink about it.
If that was really the case, in order for her father to help her achieve her goal, Chu Yiran⦠could not be kept alive!
âDo you like Nine?â
Nineâ¦
As soon as this name appeared, the glass of water in Yan Jinyuâs hand shattered with a âcrackâ.
Fortunately, the water in the glass was finished.
Yan Jinyuâs lips curled up slightly, and her gaze was cold.
She usually looked innocent, but her eyes had always had a faint and clear smile. Now that there was no smile in her eyes, her appearance became obvious.
Cold and seductive.
Huo Siyu looked at Yan Jinyu and was undoubtedly excited.
This was Beauty Yuâs true form!
Of course, she was also a little unhappy at the same time.
Chu Yiran was really shameless. Was Yin Jiujin familiar with her? Why was she calling him so lovingly!
She had angered Beauty Yu. She was going to be tortured!
Min Sisi suddenly couldnât maintain the smile on her face after hearing Chu Yiran call Yin Jiujin that.
Even if she tried her best to hold it in, she could only maintain a fake smile. âAccording to what I know, other than the Yin Family members and some elders with very high statuses, as well as some people who are on good terms with Master Nine, such as the eldest son of the Qin Family and my third brother, everyone else has to call Master Nine respectfully like me. It seems like Miss Chu and Master Nine really have a very good relationship.â
âMy relationship with Nine is naturally good.â
On the other side, Yan Jinyuâs hand was already on the âwatchâ on her left wrist.
Looking at her habitual action, Huo Siyu felt very sympathetic towards Chu Yiran.
She dared to say that Beauty Yu was still sitting here trying her best to suppress her anger. If Chu Yiran said âNineâ again, Beauty Yu would definitely ignore her so-called plan and cripple her immediately.
âDo you like him?â
Min Sisi was angry and jealous. She was clearly the eldest daughter of the Min Family and her status was many times higher than Chu Yiran, the granddaughter of the Chu Family whose father was unknown. What right did Chu Yiran have to have such a relationship with Master Nine when she couldnât even say a word to Master Nine alone!
Min Sisi was angry and jealous, but she didnât forget her purpose. She held it in.
She said shyly, âAn outstanding person like Master Nine is the target of many peopleâs admiration. There are many wealthy ladies in the capital who like Master Nine. I-Iâm naturally among them. Thereâs nothing strange about that.â
âO-of course, I donât dare to have unrealistic thoughts. I know that a person like Master Nine isnât someone whom I can likeâ¦â
âAt least you have some self-awareness.â Before she could say anything, Chu Yiran interrupted her.
Her tone was mocking.
A ruthless glint flashed past Min Sisiâs eyes.
However, she quickly recovered. âOf course I know my limits. Otherwise, why didnât I do anything all these years in the capital?â
âIâve been hiding my thoughts from everyone.â
âHowever, the more I hide it, the stronger that relationship becomes. I donât dare to ask for too much. I only hope to have a chance to get to know Master Nine. Even if I canât get to know him, itâs good to have a chance to see Master Nine up close. Thatâs why I wanted to look for Miss Chu. I hope Miss Chu can help me get to know him.â
âWhy should I help you?â
Min Sisi was stunned, as if she was very shocked by her answer.
âI-Iâm very sorry. If itâs not convenient for you, Miss Chu, then forget it. I really had no choice but to ask you.â
âMiss Chu, you must have heard that ever since Master Nine personally brought back that woman from the Yan Family in North City, whom he was engaged to, he had been keeping her by his side. He even brought her back to the Yin Familyâs mansion to celebrate the new yearâ¦â
She said timidly, but her cold eyes were staring at Chu Yiranâs reaction.
âNow, almost everyone knows that Master Nine cares a lot about his fiancée. Itâs not an exaggeration to say that he dotes on her.â
âWith Eldest Miss Yan around, Iâm destined to never have a chance in my life. I just want to get to know Master Nine. I donât have much ambition.â
âMy status in the Min Family is much lower than before. I canât find anyone to help me at all, so I can only look for Miss Chu⦠Take it that I owe Miss Chu a favor if you help me this time. If thereâs anything I can help in the future, as long as Miss Chu says it, I will definitely not hesitate.â
Min Sisi observed Chu Yiranâs expression carefully.
Chu Yiran didnât have much of a reaction at first. Only when she mentioned Yan Jinyu did Chu Yiranâs expression change.
She was obviously unhappy.
Hearing that Master Nine doted on Yan Jinyu, a killing intent flashed past Chu Yiranâs eyes.
Min Sisi clenched her fists under the table.
It seemed like Chu Yiran really had designs on Master Nine!
âMiss Chu isnât willing to introduce me. Could it be that you alsoâ¦â
âSo what if I am?â
Min Sisiâs heart suddenly sank.
She wanted to kill her.
However, Chu Yiran said, âSo what if Iâm not?â
She was a little uncertain about Chu Yiranâs attitude again.
âMiss Chu, donât be agitated. Itâs understandable that you would be tempted by an outstanding person like Master Nine. Iâm just curious, so Iâm asking.â
âIf you have feelings for Master Nine too, Iâll help you. How about that?â
Chu Yiran looked at her with curiosity. âOh?â
âYes, itâs like this. Iâve met Eldest Miss Yan a few times. We⦠didnât get along very well. Just a few days ago, she even openly embarrassed me in school and made me lose all my face in front of my classmates. Many people in school know about this.â
âI know that Iâm not worthy of Master Nine, but Yan Jinyu is even less worthy of him! Compared to her being with Master Nine, Iâd rather it be you.â
âMiss Chu has lived in the capital for many years. Iâm sure youâve heard that Mrs. Yin likes me very much. I can put in a good word for Miss Chu in front of Mrs. Yin. With Master Nineâs motherâs help, is Miss Chu more confident about taking down Master Nine?â
In reality, she really couldnât take him down.
Min Sisi knew best.
All these years, she had tried her best to curry favor with Min Qinglan, but what happened in the end?
Min Qinglan was of no help at all.
Of course, she wouldnât tell Chu Yiran that.
âActually, previously, Mrs. Yin⦠whoâs also my adopted aunt, had hinted that she hoped that I could be her daughter-in-law. However, I was young and still in high school at that time, so I tactfully rejected her.â
âRejecting her means letting the opportunity slip away from me. Auntieâs impression of me probably wonât be good if I let her know my thoughts now. Rather than that, why donât I keep this bit of relationship with Auntie and use it to speak up for Miss Chu?â
âMiss Chu, what do you think?â
She didnât know if Chu Yiran believed her or not, but Chu Yiran said, âYou have a point.â
Chu Yiran said, âIf I didnât know that you had been determined to marry into the Yin Family and become the most respected woman in the capital since you were young, I would almost believe you. Min Sisi, others donât know what youâre thinking, but how can I not know?â
âDidnât you endure for many years to marry into the Yin Family? Why are you so kind as to help me?â
When Chu Yiran spoke again, Min Sisiâs smile completely faded.
She took off her glasses. âSo, youâre indeed my half-sister?â
âI didnât mind having an elder sister like you if you didnât have any thoughts about Master Nine, but you overestimated yourself and tried to snatch my things. Then, I canât let you live!â
As she spoke, she attacked.
She stabbed Chu Yiran without hesitation.
Chu Yiran dodged.
The two of them engaged in an intense fight.
The commotion of the fight alarmed the guests in the cafe.
Most importantly, both of them were holding a dagger and their attacks were getting more and more deadly.
âYou do know my background.â
âSo what if I know? Youâre also Fatherâs daughter and have designs on Master Nine too. Who knows if heâll help you or me in the end? Father will only do his best to help me succeed after I kill you!â
Chu Yiran obviously knew her background, which made Min Sisiâs killing intent intensify.
She only knew now that she had a half-sister, but Chu Yiran seemed to know everything. Chu Yiran even knew that she wanted to marry into the Yin Family and become the most respected woman in the capital. It was obvious what this meant.
Her father was more biased towards Chu Yiran!
Perhaps she was really used by her father to pave the way for Chu Yiran!
How could that be!
âKill me? You?â
The two of them attacked each other even more ruthlessly.
They were using all killer moves.
Other than being terrified, the onlookers were also shocked by these two peopleâs skills.
Many things were shattered, but the waiters did not dare to go forward to stop them. Someone called the manager over, but the manager did not dare to go forward either.
The manager could only watch from the side and call for the police.
Chu Yiran grabbed a glass and threw it at the person on the phone.. It hit the personâs wrist and the phone fell to the ground. âIf anyone dares to call the police, it wonât be as simple as breaking a phone next time!â
