There was also Qiu Cheng, who was standing beside Qiu Jian and was about to say to Yan Jinyu for saying something like “It’s time for the Qiu Family to disappear from the capital”.
Qiu Cheng was also terrified.
He took back his words.
Since Qiu Jian and Qiu Cheng didn’t say anything, the rest of the Qiu Family naturally didn’t dare to say anything.
They all thought that Yan Jinyu was relying on Yin Jiujin.
Finally, it was quiet. Yan Jinyu’s gaze turned to Qin Bailu again.
Qin Bailu was naturally puzzled why Qiu Jian and Qiu Cheng didn’t say anything, especially Qiu Jian. Why did she suddenly stop?
However, Qin Bailu couldn’t think too much about it.
Looking at Yan Jinyu, Qin Bailu smiled graciously and appropriately. “Yes, does Eldest Miss Yan know me?”
“No, I don’t.”
“…” Qin Bailu’s expression froze for a moment.
“I simply heard what you guys said earlier,” Yan Jinyu said again.
“…” Qin Bailu. Before she could say anything, she heard Yan Jinyu say something that made her clench her teeth.
Yan Jinyu said, “Of course. I didn’t call you that to get to know you. I just want to remind you that no matter who you are, don’t even think of getting close to my man.”
She flicked a glance at the food container she was carrying. “Brother Nine will not eat what you brought over.”
Brother Nine…
It was that damn form of address again!
Ever since Yan Jinyu appeared, she had already heard her call out this form of address a few times! Also, the receptionist of the Empire Group was actually so friendly to Yan Jinyu. What did this mean?
It meant that Master Nine had brought Yan Jinyu to show her face in the Empire Group!
The Empire Group’s people’s attitude towards Yan Jinyu completely depended on Master Nine! Since they were so respectful to Yan Jinyu, it could only mean that Master Nine really treated Yan Jinyu differently!
Regardless of whether Master Nine treated Yan Jinyu like this because their engagement was decided by Old Madam Yin herself, it was enough to show that Yan Jinyu was different in Master Nine’s heart!
Fortunately, Master Nine had someone else in his heart. Otherwise…
She had never been so glad that Master Nine had that person in his heart!
“I don’t like to beat around the bush. I know very well what Second Miss Qin is thinking. I can only advise you not to have any thoughts that you shouldn’t have because I’m too lazy to deal with you.” It wasn’t that she was too lazy to think of how to deal with her, but too lazy to deal with her. In other words, if she wanted to deal with Qin Bailu, she didn’t have to waste any effort at all.
“Of course, I’m not saying this because I’m afraid of you. I simply don’t like my man to be targeted by others. That’s all. You’re not worthy enough to make me fear you.”
“Also, it wasn’t that Brother Nine didn’t eat food that was taken out from the Yin Family, but food that was passed through your hands.”
Qin Bailu couldn’t maintain her smile any longer.
Her face twisted slightly.
“Did Eldest Miss Yan ask Master Nine when you said these words? Who gave you the right to make such a decision for Master Nine? Does Master Nine know…”
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a voice. “I gave it to her.”
Everyone looked over and saw Yin Jiujin walking over. At that moment, the doors of the private elevator behind him slowly closed.
He came straight down from his office on the 55th floor.
Yin Jiujin’s eyes swept over them coldly and everyone went quiet.
Quiet wasn’t enough to describe the situation. Qiu Cheng was still fine, but the other Qiu Family members were so frightened that they almost fell limp.
This was all because of Yin Jiujin’s gaze.
It was obvious how terrifying Yin Jiujin’s gaze was. Or rather, it was obvious how bad Yin Jiujin’s mood was now.
Yin Jiujin was unhappy that the ignorant Qiu Family had come straight to the Empire Group and violated his dignity. He was even more annoyed that Qin Bailu made Yan Jinyu angry by sending him food.
He did not care where it came from. Anyway, it wasn’t good if it made his girl unhappy.
Of course, he wouldn’t give this person who made the young lady unhappy, any good attitude.
However, he liked it when the young lady kept saying “my man”.
She knew how to protect her food. Not bad.
“Master Nine!” The two receptionists greeted him respectfully.
“M-Master Nine…”
Seeing Yin Jiujin like this, Qin Bailu felt a little afraid. However, when she thought of Yin Jiujin’s words, she couldn’t suppress the anger in her heart.
He gave it to her?
What did he give her?
He gave Yan Jinyu the right to make decisions for him?!
What right did Yan Jinyu have!?
Based on that engagement?
However, no matter how angry she was, Qin Bailu didn’t dare to show it in front of Yin Jiujin. She could only suppress her anger. She wanted to speak, but she was too afraid of Yin Jiujin’s dark gaze and couldn’t say a word for a long time.
However, when Qin Bailu was able to speak up, the people from the Qiu Family didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
Yin Jiujin no longer cared about them and walked straight towards Yan Jinyu. When he turned his gaze to Yan Jinyu, he no longer looked as frightening as before. Not only that, but there was also a hint of gentleness!
Then, they saw him walk to Yan Jinyu and hold her hand!
“Are you done with your errands?” His voice was so gentle as if this Master Nine was fake!
Qiu Cheng’s body swayed and he almost fell to the floor.
If he had known that Master Nine valued the eldest daughter of the Yan Family so much, he… or he should have said that if he had known that Master Nine’s gaze was so frightening, he wouldn’t have…
He knew that the Qiu Family was finished!
They were really finished!
Qin Bailu and Qiu Jian widened their eyes in shock. They couldn’t believe that what they had seen and heard was real!
H-how was that possible?
Didn’t Master Nine have someone in his heart?
Why was he so… gentle to Yan Jinyu?!
If it were anyone else, it wouldn’t be strange to use the word “gentle”. However, this person was Master Nine, the “God of Slaughter” of the business world that everyone respected and used ruthless methods!
Most importantly, he clearly had someone in his heart, but he still treated Yan Jinyu like this. Was it because he had a change of heart? Or was it simply because of his responsibility?
The moment Yan Jinyu saw Yin Jiujin, her bad mood due to Qin Bailu instantly dissipated, especially when she recalled what he had just said.
He gave it to her…
He had given her the right.
Yin Jiujin was indeed someone she had acknowledged. He kept saying things that made her happy.
“Yes, I’m done. I even used Brother Nine’s name to get things done.” After saying that, she grinned at him, looking a little silly.
At least, it was from Yin Jiujin’s point of view.
He wanted to habitually raise his hand to rub the top of her head, but he realized that her long hair was tied up. With this rub, her hair was messed up, so he turned to pinch her face. “Silly, I’m your fiancé. Why do you need to ‘borrow’ my name? Shouldn’t you just use my name to do things?”
No matter how stupid Qin Bailu was, she could tell that Master Nine felt more than responsible for Yan Jinyu with his indulging tone of voice.
But Master Nine clearly had someone in his heart…
Could it be that Master Nine liked to have more than one woman like other men?
No, no way. Master Nine had no woman by his side all these years… except for that person.
How could Master Nine like to have more than one woman? If he really liked her, with Master Nine’s status, he could have as many women as he liked.
Then why did Master Nine treat Yan Jinyu…
As she thought about it, Qin Bailu lowered her eyes slightly to hide the sinister look in them.
No matter why Master Nine treated Yan Jinyu so differently, Yan Jinyu couldn’t stay! That person in the capital was protected by Master Nine. She couldn’t touch her, but not Yan Jinyu.
Although Master Nine was often in North City and Yan Jinyu was also in North City, Yan Jinyu wasn’t like the person in the capital who didn’t leave her house. As long as she had the intention, she would always be able to find an opportunity to lay her hands on Yan Jinyu!
Just as Yan Jinyu was about to glare at him and slap his hand away, Yin Jiujin retracted his hand. He turned back and saw the group of people standing behind him. He frowned slightly. “Do you need someone to chase you away?”
“Or it isn’t enough for the Qiu Family to disappear, and you guys want to disappear too?”
Everyone in the Qiu Family was shocked, especially Qiu Jian.
She quickly said, “I’m sorry, Master Nine. We came here this time to sincerely apologize to Miss Yan for my previous mistake. We didn’t have any other intentions. We specially came to the Empire Group because we can only see Master Nine if we wait here, so we…”
“Are you the one who feels that Little Yu isn’t compatible with me?” Yin Jiujin interrupted her lightly.
Qiu Jian was stunned. Then, she realized what he was saying and was shocked, “Master Nine, Master Nine, I-I…”
She couldn’t utter a complete sentence after saying “I” for a long time.
If Qiu Jian hadn’t said anything, Yin Jiujin wouldn’t have thought of her.
“Are my affairs something that you can interfere in?”
“You know better than me who’s compatible with me?”
The more she listened, the more terrified Qiu Jian became. Even though she didn’t dare to look up at Yin Jiujin’s expression.
“No, no, no. I’m sorry, Master Nine. I’m sorry… I-I didn’t do it on purpose. I was careless with my words that day. I’ve already been taught a lesson and am bedridden. Master Nine, please forgive me for speaking carelessly. I won’t dare to say such words again in the future. I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”
“Initially, the Qiu Family only needed to publicly announce an apology. At the same time, you would have to compensate for the psychological damage and this matter would be considered over.”
Hearing that, Qiu Jian and the people from the Qiu Family felt their hearts turn cold.
Then, they all looked desperate.
They were extremely regretful!
“Get lost!”
Qiu Cheng hurriedly pushed Qiu Jian’s wheelchair and left. The Qiu Family members also hurriedly followed.
The Qiu Family was finished. If they could make it in time, they could still go back and make some amends, even though that was impossible.
Yin Jiujin glanced at Qin Bailu, who was still standing there. “You want to stay here as a guest?”
Qin Bailu was about to reply in surprise when Yin Jiujin continued, “Mount Jing has many rooms to entertain guests. I’m afraid you’ll have to stay there as a guest forever after you enter.”
“…” Qin Bailu was terrified! The smile on her face froze.
“I have something on, so I’ll be leaving first. I’ll put the two dishes that my sister asked Grandma Wu to specially make here. I’ll visit you again next time.”
Then, she ran away.
It was as if something was chasing her.
Yin Jiujin glanced at the thermos box that Qin Bailu had placed on the front desk and said indifferently, “Throw it away.” That was for the two receptionists.
He held Yan Jinyu’s hand and took the private elevator upstairs.
***
Two weeks later, after the small farewell party for Yan Ruyu and her family ended and on their way back to Mount Jing, Yan Jinyu was surrounded by killers.
It wasn’t simply finding gangsters to gang up on them, but a real assassination to kill them.
At that moment, other than Yan Jinyu, there was also the chauffeur Cheng Lin and… Yin Jiujin, who had suddenly appeared during the farewell party.
However, Yan Jinyu didn’t know if these people were after her or Yin Jiujin at the beginning.
She was not nervous. Instead, she was a little excited.
She finally had a chance to perform in front of Yin Jiujin!
She had been Yin Jiujin’s bodyguard for two weeks, but she had never found a chance to show her skills. However, because she had always been by Yin Jiujin’s side and had a lot of food placed in front of her, she had become rounder.
Yin Jiujin’s super vigilance allowed him to discover the situation outside the car immediately.
At that moment, the car arrived at the most desolate part of the journey from the city to Mount Jing.
There was nobody here.
There was maple tree forest on both sides of the road.
It was summer and the maple trees were lush. It was almost evening and it was already a little dark. Furthermore, they were driving in the dense maple forest so they couldn’t see the road very clearly.
However, no one had dared to do anything here in all these years. This was because although this place was still a distance away from Mount Jing, this path only led to Mount Jing. Yin Jiujin was usually the only one who passed through it.
Who dared to have any ideas on him?
“Little Yu…”
Yin Jiujin was about to comfort her when he saw that Yan Jinyu’s expression remained unchanged. She even gave him a huge smile. “Brother Nine, don’t worry. Have you forgotten? You have a bodyguard by your side! Don’t worry, I’ll protect you! Moreover, it’s time for you to witness my power! In case you keep calling me silly!”
“…” Yin Jiujin.
“…” Cheng Lin, who was in the driver’s seat. Wasn’t Miss Yu joking about being Master Nine’s bodyguard?
Moreover, wasn’t Miss Yu too calm after being stopped?
Oh, she didn’t seem to be calm. Instead, she was inexplicably excited?
