“Is… is that so?” Aunt Cheng could not bear to accept this. She was afraid that saying too much would hurt Yan Jinyu’s 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 didn’t want to see such a smiling girl at her age with a sullen face.
“Sigh, Miss Yu, don’t think too much. I just suddenly thought of something. Compared to the Yan Family’s 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.”
Hearing Aunt Cheng ask if Yan Jinyu was still in school, Yin Jiujin’s 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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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 control…
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 Cheng’s 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 wouldn’t 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 Jiujin’s 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 wasn’t an easy person to fool.
Aunt Cheng’s reason was just right, but if it was at the price of being controlled by someone when she entered school…
Forget it.
Anyway, she was not in a hurry to find out the cause of Bai Ye’s death nor move into Mount Jing.
“I’ll plan for your school…” affairs.
Before Yin Jiujin could finish speaking, Yan Jinyu stood up from the sofa with a “swoosh”. “I ate a little too much just now. I’ll 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. Don’t worry about me.”
Then, she ran out.
Who was Yin Jiujin? How could he not tell that she was deliberately changing the topic?
Forget it. Since she didn’t want to talk about it, let’s 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 couldn’t run away.
He stood up slowly. “Wait.”
Yan Jinyu stopped reluctantly and forced a smile. “Brother Nine, is there anything else?” She really didn’t want to talk about school anymore.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to sit on the swing and wanted me to push you?”
So he wasn’t talking about school anymore.
Yan Jinyu heaved a sigh of relief.
When she realized what he was saying, her eyes lit up. “Yes, yes, yes. Brother Nine, come and push me. The swing is hanging on the big tree. The branches and leaves are dense. We won’t be exposed to the sun there. We’ll go now.”
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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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 didn’t even call for a chauffeur.
Hence, on the way to the Yan Family from Mount Jing, Yan Jinyu’s 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 o’clock when they came down from Mount Jing. When they arrived at the Yan Family’s mansion, it was almost seven o’clock.
The evening’s clouds faded and the sky darkened.
Outside the Yan Family’s residence.
Yin Jiujin didn’t plan on entering. He parked the car outside.
Yan Jinyu didn’t get out of the car immediately. After unbuckling her seatbelt, she turned to look at Yin Jiujin and smiled. “Brother Nine, thank you for sending me back.”
Yin Jiujin didn’t respond to her thanks. He only said, “Since you didn’t have dinner at Mount Jing, remember to eat before returning to your room.”
“Alright.” She had eaten a lot of fruits at Mount Jing and wasn’t hungry. In addition, it would take more than an hour to drive from Mount Jing to the Yan Family, so she politely declined Auntie Cheng’s intention to let her stay for dinner at Mount Jing.
“Brother Nine, I’ve left the birthday party invitation in your living room. One’s for you, and the other is for you to get someone to pass it to Little Rain.”
Little Rain…
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 “Brother Nine”.
Didn’t that mean that Huo Siyu’s 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.
“I’ve already asked Uncle Cheng to send it to her. Go back now. See you tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow.”
After getting out of the car and closing the car door, Yan Jinyu leaned against the car window and said with a smile, “Brother Nine, be careful on the road.” 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. “I’ll go in first.” She turned around and pressed the Yan Family’s doorbell.
When this action landed in Yin Jiujin’s 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 Family’s 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 Family’s mansion door had interrupted him.
“Eldest Missy is back?” 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. “It’s good that Missy is back. Sir and Madam are still waiting for you to have dinner together. They said that if you still don’t come back, they will call to rush you back.”
Zhao Ling wasn’t 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 Family’s 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 Jiujin’s car had already driven away. Yan Jinyu stopped in her tracks and looked at Zhao Ling with a faint smile. “Is that so?”
