âIs⦠is that so?â Aunt Cheng could not bear to accept this. She was afraid that saying too much would hurt Yan Jinyuâs self-esteem.
Miss Yu thought that graduating from junior high school was considered graduating, so she did not find anything wrong with her normal expression. This was because of the environment she grew up in. If Miss Yu knew that in a big city like North City, a child born in a big family, not to mention graduating from junior high school, even graduating from high school and university would be looked down upon by others, who knew how sad she would be.
Miss Yu was innocent and loved to smile. She didnât want to see such a smiling girl at her age with a sullen face.
âSigh, Miss Yu, donât think too much. I just suddenly thought of something. Compared to the Yan Familyâs mansion, Mount Jing is closer to Boyu High School in North City. I heard that Second Miss Yan is also at Boyu High School. I feel that if Miss Yu still goes to school, she should also be at Boyu High School. Therefore, I thought that it would be more convenient for Miss Yu to move to Mount Jing to go to school.â
Hearing Aunt Cheng ask if Yan Jinyu was still in school, Yin Jiujinâs hand that was holding the glass of water paused.
He knew that the girl had long dropped out of school. He was afraid that if he suddenly mentioned this matter, it would remind the girl of her bitter days in the past.
He did not expect her to answer so frankly.
I graduated.
Since she felt that she had already graduated, it would hurt her pride to mention that she did not have enough education.
The advantage of being silly was that she could not see through many things. Even though she had experienced so much and was not liked by the Yan Family, she could still maintain a smile.
He could not bear to break it.
But it was only a matter of time.
She indeed didnât have enough education.
It was not that he wanted her to be outstanding and have the ability to earn money in the future. Even if she did not do anything, he had enough money for her to spend for a few lifetimes. He didnât need her to earn money.
He was just worried that when she returned to the capital with him in the future, others would use her education as a topic.
The girl was silly but not stupid. It was impossible for her to not understand the mockery of others. Although others did not dare to say anything with him around, there were still things that he could not controlâ¦
Instead of putting her in that situation, it was better to put an end to it now.
It did not matter how much she could learn. As long as she went to school, he would arrange everything else.
Most importantly, it was hard for him not to be tempted by Aunt Chengâs suggestion to let her move to Mount Jing.
The Yan Family was still around, her parents were still around, and she had only returned to the Yan Family after 16 years. She probably wouldnât be willing to move out of the Yan Family rashly.
Compared to the Yan Family, Mount Jing was closer to Boyu High School. This was a good reason.
Yin Jiujin was tempted by this reason, but so was Yan Jinyu.
She had come to North City to get close to Yin Jiujin, and living in Mount Jing was already part of her plan. However, if she rashly suggested moving over, Yin Jiujin would probably be suspicious.
Although she had said that she would move out of the Yan Family after Yin Jiujin returned to North City, she had actually not thought of a reason to move to Mount Jing. At most, she would use Yin Jiujinâs name to move out of the Yan Family and get a house outside to stay for a while.
As for moving to Mount Jing, she had to plan slowly.
After all, Yin Jiujin wasnât an easy person to fool.
Aunt Chengâs reason was just right, but if it was at the price of being controlled by someone when she entered schoolâ¦
Forget it.
Anyway, she was not in a hurry to find out the cause of Bai Yeâs death nor move into Mount Jing.
âIâll plan for your schoolâ¦â?affairs.
Before Yin Jiujin could finish speaking, Yan Jinyu stood up from the sofa with a âswooshâ. âI ate a little too much just now. Iâll go to the courtyard to take a walk first and pick a bouquet of flowers at the same time. Brother Nine, if you have something to do, go ahead. Donât worry about me.â
Then, she ran out.
Who was Yin Jiujin? How could he not tell that she was deliberately changing the topic?
Forget it. Since she didnât want to talk about it, letâs talk about it later.
Although he really wanted her to move to Mount Jing, it was her coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow and she had just returned to the Yan Family. He would let her stay in the Yan Family for a period of time first.
She was his anyway. She couldnât run away.
He stood up slowly. âWait.â
Yan Jinyu stopped reluctantly and forced a smile. âBrother Nine, is there anything else?â She really didnât want to talk about school anymore.
âDidnât you say you wanted to sit on the swing and wanted me to push you?â
So he wasnât talking about school anymore.
Yan Jinyu heaved a sigh of relief.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
When she realized what he was saying, her eyes lit up. âYes, yes, yes. Brother Nine, come and push me. The swing is hanging on the big tree. The branches and leaves are dense. We wonât be exposed to the sun there. Weâll go now.â
She was afraid that Yin Jiujin would go back on his word, so she ran back and grabbed his hand to pull him out.
Looking at her clenched fingers, Yin Jiujin was stunned for a moment. Then, he held her hand in his and smiled before following her out of the villa.
Aunt Cheng, who was still standing in the living room, felt worried and relieved when she saw this.
Forget it. Second Young Master was so smart. Second Young Master would probably take it to heart since she had mentioned it. Even if she didnât mention it now, he would make arrangements in the future.
If not for Miss Yu, Second Young Master would not have been in the mood to go to the courtyard.
She did not want to disturb them anymore.
She finally understood why Second Young Master suddenly asked Old Cheng to set up a swing in the courtyard. It turned out that it was prepared for Miss Yu.
***
Yan Jinyu didnât stay long at Mount Jing. She went to the courtyard to swing for a while and went to pick a bouquet of flowers from the sea of flowers. Only then did Yin Jiujin personally drive her back to the Yan Family.
Yin Jiujin had helped push the swing.
Yan Jinyu was very satisfied that Yin Jiujin didnât mention school to her again. Otherwise, she would have to find another reason to reject him. Furthermore, Yin Jiujin had been accompanying her for most of the day on Mount Jing. Yin Jiujin even drove her home personally when she wanted to go back. He didnât even call for a chauffeur.
Hence, on the way to the Yan Family from Mount Jing, Yan Jinyuâs mood was very good.
Yin Jiujin held the steering wheel and looked at the young lady sitting in the front passenger seat with a bouquet of flowers. His lips curled up slightly.
He thought to himself, [Fortunately, Grandmother left behind a final wish for him to find her. Otherwise, where would he have met such a silly and likable girl?]
The journey was cozy.
It was already five oâclock when they came down from Mount Jing. When they arrived at the Yan Familyâs mansion, it was almost seven oâclock.
The eveningâs clouds faded and the sky darkened.
Outside the Yan Familyâs residence.
Yin Jiujin didnât plan on entering. He parked the car outside.
Yan Jinyu didnât get out of the car immediately. After unbuckling her seatbelt, she turned to look at Yin Jiujin and smiled. âBrother Nine, thank you for sending me back.â
Yin Jiujin didnât respond to her thanks. He only said, âSince you didnât have dinner at Mount Jing, remember to eat before returning to your room.â
âAlright.â She had eaten a lot of fruits at Mount Jing and wasnât hungry. In addition, it would take more than an hour to drive from Mount Jing to the Yan Family, so she politely declined Auntie Chengâs intention to let her stay for dinner at Mount Jing.
âBrother Nine, Iâve left the birthday party invitation in your living room. Oneâs for you, and the other is for you to get someone to pass it to Little Rain.â
Little Rainâ¦
They behaved so familiarly despite only knowing each other today.
This seemed to be the same situation as him and her.
At that time, they had only known each other for a day, and she already called him âBrother Nineâ.
Didnât that mean that Huo Siyuâs status in her heart was equal to his?
As he thought about it, Yin Jiujin began to tap his hands on the steering wheel.
That really made him feel uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Yin Jiujin recalled that he was the one who introduced Huo Siyu to her.
âIâve already asked Uncle Cheng to send it to her. Go back now. See you tomorrow.â
âSee you tomorrow.â
After getting out of the car and closing the car door, Yan Jinyu leaned against the car window and said with a smile, âBrother Nine, be careful on the road.â However, seeing that Yin Jiujin had no intention of leaving, she suddenly understood what he meant.
He wanted her to enter the house first.
Since it was what he wanted, Yan Jinyu naturally would do as he wished. âIâll go in first.â She turned around and pressed the Yan Familyâs doorbell.
When this action landed in Yin Jiujinâs eyes, his eyes recovered their usual sinister glint, and a cold aura emanated from his body.
It had already been two months since she returned to the Yan Family. Yet, she could not even enter the main door as she pleased?
The Yan Familyâs door lock was controlled by facial recognition, but she still needed to press the doorbell to get someone to open the door. Did the Yan Family treat her as a guest? Or was it that she was treated even worse than a guest?
For a moment, Yin Jiujin almost called her back to the car and brought her back to Mount Jing. The opening of the Yan Familyâs mansion door had interrupted him.
âEldest Missy is back?â Zhao Ling, the housekeeper, opened the door.
Yan Jinyu nodded as she held the flower with one hand. She turned back and waved at Yin Jiujin.
Looking in the direction of her gaze, Zhao Ling saw the man sitting in the car under the dim street lights and quickly lowered her head in fear.
Master Nine had personally sent Missy back!
Zhao Ling was even more respectful to Yan Jinyu. âItâs good that Missy is back. Sir and Madam are still waiting for you to have dinner together. They said that if you still donât come back, they will call to rush you back.â
Zhao Ling wasnât whispering. She seemed to be saying this deliberately for Yin Jiujin to hear.
She was still working for the Yan Family and was receiving the Yan Familyâs salary after all. This action did not mean that she had much feelings for the Yan Family. She just did not want the Yan Family to be unlucky and cause her to lose such a job that was considered to be quite good.
Yin Jiujinâs car had already driven away. Yan Jinyu stopped in her tracks and looked at Zhao Ling with a faint smile. âIs that so?â
