“Oh, then please don’t let me hold you up.” After glancing at Mingyu, she said, “Excuse me.”
After saying that, she turned around and continued upstairs.
“Third Mistress Yan, please wait a moment.” Mingyu called out, then waved his hand, summoning a boy to his side. The boy looked gentle, yet also had an air of a bad boy to him. Yan Zhen was stunned by how handsome he was.
“Miss Yan Zhen, our young master has something to discuss with Miss Yan Xin. Please wait a moment. After they’re done talking, you can continue your talk. Is that okay?” the boy asked.
While she was a daze, Mingyu had already followed Yan Xin up to the second floor. Fortunately, there was a living room there.
“Was there something you wanted to do, Young Master Xie?” Yan Xin stood in the living room firmly, having not rushed to her own room yet.
“Do you want to know the background of the mysterious person?”Mingyu suddenly said. Hearing that, Yan Xin did not know how to react. To be honest, she wanted to know, but..
“What do you want?” Yan Xin did not trust people easily, especially this man in front of her. She could feel the dangerous aura coming from him.
“No, we just want your cooperation. We’ve been looking for you for so many years, all because you are the best business partner possible,” Mingyu said bluntly. He knew that Yan Xin would definitely take the bait he’d dangled in front of her.
“I don’t know what you are talking about.” Yan Xin continued to play dumb; no one here knew who her predecessor was anyway. She was not afraid at all as long as she did not panic.
“Then, Third Mistress Yan, can I call you by your name?” Mingyu asked softly.
“Not at all. I think just ‘Third Mistress Yan’ is good enough.” Yan Xin had always been direct. She did not like beating around the bush.
Mingyu nodded in response. “Understood, Third Mistress Yan. Now then, you might know that the mysterious black-robed man at the auction is a mighty figure supported by my family.” As soon as he said this, he saw her face twist in disdain, but this did not stop him from continuing.
“He was a person my father saved by accident five years ago at sea. From then on, this person has been living with my family.” As he said this, however, Mingyu omitted many things—too many things could happen in five years, after all.
Yan Xin, on the other hand, despised them for helping that man to cultivate so much power. However, she could only express this with silence. The Xie family had a lot of money, and people were stupid. There was nothing she could do about it.
Without waiting for a response, Mingyu continued to speak in a deep and beautiful voice. “For so many years, we have been trying our best to help him find his way home.” This sentence finally made Yan Xin react a little.
“After that?” Yan Xin couldn’t help but ask.
“After that we searched for countless ways to return, but we couldn’t find anything. I don’t know why, but when he returned to the house today, he said that the opportunity to return might be with you.”
“This…” it was impossible not to be surprised after hearing that.
Seeing her disbelief, Mingyu couldn’t help but laugh. “We really want to work with you, the very sincere kind.” After saying that, he looked at Yan Xin with an extremely sincere gaze.
“Cooperate with what?” Yan Xin still pretended to be stupid. After all, with her current power level, she might not be able to make this world accept her, so she could only keep trying to act as if she didn’t know anything. It wasn’t like she had a better plan for now, anyway.
Mingyu suddenly took out a business card and handed it to her with a smile. “This is my address. When you’ve thought it through, just come and look for me.”
“No. You still haven’t given me a clear answer on what you want to work together on,” Yan Xin said in refusal. She wasn’t that stupid.
“You know what I want to say?” Mingyu said, “Then the only thing you can do is work with me.” His tone was extremely determined.
In the end, Yan Xin took the business card and turned around to enter her room.
As Mingyu headed downstairs, Yan Zhen saw him and ran over happily. “Mingyu, can you stay for dinner? I’ll get Auntie to make some food,” she said.
“No need. Thank you for your kindness, Second Mistress Yan. I still have something to do, so I’ll take my leave first.” After saying that, he ignored Yan Zhen clamoring for him to stay and left immediately.
After his car disappeared from the mansion, Yan Zhen was about to go up to Yan Xin to argue with her, but before she could, she realized that Yan Xin was carrying something while walking out of the door.
