The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 92: Master Nine’s Effort

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After a long time, Yin Jiu said, “It’s not time yet.”

Undoubtedly, he was happy to hear her say that.

?

No matter how silly the girl was, she would always understand what a ring meant.

But now was not the time.

The young lady was young, so he wanted to take good care of her first. Furthermore, shouldn’t Yin Jiujin’s fiancée deserve to have an official engagement ceremony?

Why would he let her wear the ring now?

That would be too unfair to his little girl.

He helped her put on the necklace.

Yan Jinyu blinked, but she didn’t insist. However, something seemed to be slowly taking root in her heart…

Soon, they arrived at Mount Jing.

The security guard opened the door and the car drove into the manor, heading straight for Yin Jiujin’s villa’s small courtyard.

Yin Jiujin put Yan Jinyu down when the car drove into the manor. However, after putting her down, his hand was still around her waist, making her lean towards him.

Yan Jinyu’s emotions were complicated. Her thoughts were still drifting faraway for some reason, so she didn’t notice his actions at all.

Hence, she let Yin Jiujin hug her and lean on him until they got out of the car.

Pity the two poor chaps in the car.

Lin Zimu looked straight ahead, while Min Ting secretly made up his mind that the next time Eldest Miss Yan was around, he would definitely not join in the fun and take a car with them!

Not only did she scare him, they even made him watch them show off their love!

Yin Jiujin’s car was at the front, and the other cars followed closely behind.

Actually, there were only three cars in total.

One was Feng Yuan’s car, and Yan Jinyun was sitting in the front passenger seat. The other was Zhao Kun’s car, and Huo Siyu was sitting in the backseat. The other was the Yan Family’s car. Other than the Yan Family’s chauffeur, Yu Xiao was the only one in the back seat.

Yu Xiao followed them after they left.

Other than the four people in Yin Jiujin’s car, no one here had ever been to Mount Jing. Therefore, when they arrived at the foot of Mount Jing, everyone was astonished, let alone when they entered the gate at the top of the mountain and saw the scenery inside.

Their shock was only greater than Yan Jinyu’s when she first came to Mount Jing.

“So Mount Jing is like this. It’s a little surprising.” Huo Siyu thought that Yin Jiujin’s private territory would resemble a castle like the Huo Family’s mansion.

Zhao Kun, who was driving, lamented. He was also quite surprised.

The outside world had many different guesses about Mount Jing, but no matter which version they had, they would not guess that Mount Jing was a farm-like existence.

“Boss Zhao, you’ve been in North City for five years. Have you ever been to Mount Jing?”

“You… Miss Huo, you’re too polite. You can just call me by my name. I don’t deserve to be called Boss Zhao.” He was the person in charge of Elegant Bamboo and knew who his real boss was. Although there was only one boss in charge, he knew that there were three people who invested in Elegant Bamboo.

Huo Siyu was one of the investors.

However, it was only when Miss Huo contacted him in North City that he found out that one of Elegant Bamboo’s three bosses was her.

The South City’s Huo Family’s young mistress, Huo Siyu, had been missing for many years. It was said that she had lived in Country F for many years. One year ago, her adoptive parents had passed away in an accident. She had only returned to the country after being found and brought back to the Huo Family by the eldest son of the Huo Family, Huo Xuan. However, Elegant Bamboo had started its business five years ago.

And he knew very well why there was Elegant Bamboo.

He didn’t know the identities of these three bosses and the eldest daughter of the Yan Family, but he knew that they were all big shots.

Just the thought of working for a big boss, and a big boss that even Master Nine didn’t know about, made him inexplicably excited!

“Although I’ve been in North City for five years, Miss Huo also knows that Master Nine is not someone to be trifled with. Don’t think that Mount Jing is like a farm. Those farmers who work in the fields must all be experts. Otherwise, Mount Jing wouldn’t be like an iron fortress.”

Huo Siyu could tell at a glance if the people in the field were experts.

“That’s why no one dares to step into the foot of Mount Jing, let alone into the top of Mount Jing.” Zhao Kun smiled in embarrassment. “I’m ashamed to say that I’m one of those people who don’t even dare to step foot on Mount Jing.”

“Don’t be ashamed. I do understand.”

Not to mention Zhao Kun, only Beauty Yu had come to Mount Jing before among the four of them.

Even Beauty Yu only had the chance to step into Mount Jing yesterday.

It wasn’t that Beauty Yu couldn’t enter Mount Jing with her ability, but there was no need for her to risk offending Yin Jiujin to explore Mount Jing.

After all, they had always minded their own business when it came to Yin Jiujin in the past.

In the other car, Feng Yuan and Yan Jinyun were not calm either.

However, perhaps because they were all thinking about something, even though the two of them were in the same car, they were unusually quiet.

If it were any other time, Feng Yuan would definitely be unable to help but exclaim in surprise when he saw Mount Jing in such a state. Now, he was only amazed in his heart and did nothing more.

He couldn’t ignore the way Luo Yilin looked at Yan Jinyun when he was in the Yan Family.

He was considered one of the hedonistic ones amongst the sons of the wealthy families in North City. Hence, although he did not play around, he knew everything that needed to be understood.

Luo Yilin had obviously taken a fancy to Yan Jinyun.

Speaking of which, Yan Jinyun was so good at putting up a show in front of others. There were many people who liked her, and it wasn’t a big deal to have an additional Luo Yilin. But…

He also knew many people who liked Yan Jinyun and had seen the way they looked at Yan Jinyun. None of them were as disgusting as Luo Yilin!

Although Luo Yilin hid it very well, he still saw it.

It was a pity that he used to think that this cousin of his was a gentle and well-mannered gentleman. One really couldn’t judge a book by its cover! Even Luo Yikun was more pleasing to the eye than him. At least Luo Yikun was openly evil.

“Yan Jinyun!”

Yan Jinyun was looking at the scenery outside the window and lamenting at how Mount Jing looked like. The environment here was very good, and she felt like she was far away from the bustling world. Yan Jinyu should be very happy to stay here.

Just as she thought that and before she could scold herself for being a busybody again, she heard Feng Yuan’s shout.

She retracted her gaze and looked over with hostility. “Why are you shouting so loudly? I’m not deaf! What are you glaring at! Speak your mind!”

“You…” He took a deep breath.” Forget it. I knew you had a bad temper. I can’t be bothered to argue with you. What I want to say is, stay away from Luo Yilin in the future. I don’t think he’s a good person.”

She would try her best to stay away from Luo Yilin even without him reminding her. Besides, she wasn’t even close to Luo Yilin in the past.

But…

She looked at him strangely, “Feng Yuan, are you concerned about me?”

Feng Yuan was stunned when he heard her words.

He couldn’t ignore the way Luo Yilin looked at Yan Jinyun. So, was he concerned about her?

How was that possible?!

Impossible!

How could he be concerned about a black-hearted person like Yan Jinyun? He just… just felt that Yan Jinyun was so fierce that he even had to suffer in front of her many times. Of course, he couldn’t just watch her suffer in front of others. Otherwise, wouldn’t he lose face after suffering in front of her so many times?

Yes, that was it!

However, he obviously wouldn’t say that. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be admitting to Yan Jinyun that he had suffered in front of her?

“W-who cares about you! I’m just afraid that if you really suffer, Jinyu will be worried!” He suddenly felt that his brain was really good. A second ago, he didn’t even know how to respond to this. The moment he opened his mouth, he came up with such a reason that even he could be completely convinced.

Yan Jinyun glanced at him. “Mind your own business!”

Feng Yuan knew Yan Jinyun well, and Yan Jinyun knew him well too.

When he was lying, his eyes would always drift around, and he always thought he looked very calm.

“Yo, Yan Jinyun, you’re still holding my present?”

Yan Jinyun tightened her grip on the small gift box. “…I couldn’t find the rubbish bin!”

She looked up at him. “Why? Are you very proud to see that I didn’t throw it away? I really don’t understand what kind of mentality you have. You can’t wait for me to throw the gift away when you give it to me. Since that’s the case, why waste the money to buy it? Aren’t you being cheap?”

“…” Feng Yuan. What a vicious mouth!

He was initially in a good mood when he saw her holding the gift that he had given her. However, after hearing what she said, his good mood completely disappeared.

“It’s your birthday today. I’ll let you win today. I won’t argue with you!”

The car was silent for two minutes before Feng Yuan couldn’t help but say, “Hey, Yan Jinyun!”

“What are you shouting for…” Before she could finish speaking, Yan Jinyun met his slightly concerned gaze and quickly looked away. She felt a little strange.” If you have something to say, say it! ”

“H-how confident are you about the Yan Corporation’s shareholders’ meeting tomorrow?”

Yan Jinyun wasn’t stupid. Feng Yuan was really concerned about her.

Tsk, she was really not used to it!

Didn’t he always know how to diss her the best? Whenever he saw her, he would pick up whatever unpleasant words to diss her. Why was he pretending to be concerned now!

Hypocrite!

Although she thought so, she answered him seriously, “100%.”

This confidence…

She was indeed the Yan Jinyun who was used to putting on an act. Moreover, he actually found such a confident Yan Jinyun very pleasing to the eye for some reason.

“That’s good. Don’t misunderstand. I’m not concerned about you. I’m worried that you’ll create trouble again and make Jinyu worry. Jinyu herself…” He suddenly paused.

He had wanted to say that Jinyu was already in a terrible state.

Yan Jinyun glared at him. “Who cares about you!”

Feng Yuan choked again. However, when he thought about what happened to the Yan Family today, he couldn’t bring out his usual confidence to rebuke Yan Jinyun.

He wasn’t that heartless.

Jinyu was treated so harshly by her biological parents. That was very miserable. How much better was Yan Jinyun compared to Jinyu?

Those two people from the Yan Family were obviously selfish people. Look at how they forced Yan Jinyun to eventually fall out with them.

“…Today is your and Jinyu’s birthday. Don’t think too much. If there’s anything, let’s talk about it after today. No matter what, Jinyu will always be on your side.” Feng Yuan only managed to say this after a long while.

Perhaps he felt that this did not match his character, he turned away awkwardly and did not dare to look at Yan Jinyun after saying that.

Yan Jinyun looked at him for a long time before saying, “Thank you.”

After that, both of them fell silent.

***

When they left the Yan Family, Yin Jiujin had asked Lin Zimu to call back to Mount Jing and instruct them. Therefore, when the group arrived at the small courtyard of the villa, a small banquet hall had already been set up.

After knowing that Yan Jinyu was coming over to celebrate her birthday, Aunt Cheng especially got the young servants to take out the colored lights that had been left behind from the warehouse and set them up in the courtyard.

There were many tables and chairs set up in the courtyard. Food and drinks were all placed on the table.

The servants of Mount Jing usually could not step into this small courtyard. Today was an exception, so many people came to help Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng.

Everything was ready.

The car stopped outside the small courtyard and they got out one after another. Yin Jiujin personally opened the car door for Yan Jinyu.

As soon as Yan Jinyu got out of the car, two young maids took out two party poppers and popped them above her head with a bang.

Everyone said in unison, “Happy 18th birthday to Miss Yu!”

Yan Jinyu looked at them, then raised her head to look at Yin Jiujin, who had helped her remove the confetti on her head. Her eyes curved into crescents. “Thank you, everyone.”

Knowing that Yan Jinyun would be coming over in advance, Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng handled the situation very well. They made sure that Yan Jinyun wouldn’t feel awkward. There were also poppers and blessings when Yan Jinyun got off the car.

However, her blessing was, “Happy 18th birthday to Second Miss Yan!”

It was obvious who was closer to them.

However, Yan Jinyun didn’t mind. This was Yin Jiujin’s place. Yan Jinyun knew very well that if it wasn’t for Yan Jinyu, she wouldn’t even be able to go up to Mount Jing.

On the contrary, after seeing how the Yan Family only focused on banquets and guests on her coming-of-age ceremony, and didn’t care about her, the protagonist… Maybe, it should be said that they didn’t care about the feelings of Yan Jinyu and her, the two protagonists. She woke up early in the morning to do her makeup. Her mother didn’t even ask her if she was hungry or if she wanted to eat something to fill her stomach. She also didn’t say happy birthday to her. She even completely forgot about Yan Jinyu.

After seeing all those, she was very happy to see such a festive party and hear such blessings.

“Thank you all so much.”

She looked at Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng and said politely, “Thank you.” She could tell at a glance that other than Master Nine, these two people were in charge here. They should be people who could make decisions in Mount Jing.

“Second Miss Yan, you’re very welcome. You’re the star today, so don’t feel restrained. Have fun. Just let me know what you want to eat and drink. My husband’s surname is Cheng, so everyone calls me Aunt Cheng.”

Aunt Cheng was very careful with her words. She didn’t say “you and Miss Yu are the main leads today” but “you’re the main lead today” because she was afraid that Yan Jinyun would think too much and ruin the relationship between the two sisters.

Yan Jinyu even called Yan Jinyun over for their birthday so anyone with a brain would know Yan Jinyu’s attitude towards Yan Jinyun.

“Alright, thank you, Auntie Cheng.”

The banquet was small, but the birthday girls were happier than staying in the Yan Family.

After singing the birthday song and cutting the cake, the birthday party was considered complete.

After all, they were here at Mount Jing, so no one left early. They tried their best to look around.

Of course, none of the people who came today were impolite. Even if they were to visit, they would only visit the flowers and vegetables gardens. They didn’t go anywhere else. No one even dared to enter Yin Jiujin’s villa.

In the evening, everyone left one after another.

Aunt Cheng called the servants to clean up the mess in the courtyard and Yin Jiujin and Yan Jinyu entered the villa.

Stepping into the living room, Yin Jiujin stopped and turned back to ask Yan Jinyu, “Your room is ready. Do you want to take a look?”

Yan Jinyu’s eyes lit up. “So fast?”

“Yes, Auntie Cheng is a fast worker.” Actually, he had already instructed Auntie Cheng to prepare the room after she left Mount Jing yesterday.

“Do you want to take a look?”

“Yes!” She jumped forward and hugged his arms. “Brother Nine, lead me there.”

Yan Jinyu didn’t realize that she was actually acting coquettishly.

She didn’t notice it, but Yin Jiujin did. His eyes flickered slightly, but he didn’t remind her. “Alright.” He allowed her to hug his arm as she skipped up the stairs with him.
