Chapter 181 - Huo Xuan"s Suspicion
Yin Jiujin probably asked something. Yan Jinyu nodded repeatedly and replied in a light voice, "Yes, I"m here. I arrived long ago."
"At the Huo Family."
"Little Rain is here. Everything has been arranged. Brother Nine, you don"t have to worry."
At that moment, in Mount Jing"s villa, Yin Jiujin was sitting at the desk in his study and making a call.
Hearing Yan Jinyu say that with Huo Siyu around, everything was arranged, he felt a little depressed.
She had arranged everything. He felt that she could live without him with Huo Siyu around.
"You saw Huo Xuan?"
When Yan Jinyu heard that, she looked up at Huo Xuan, who was still leaning lazily against the door frame. She smiled and nodded, "Mm-hm."
"Stay away from him." Huo Xuan was a tactless person. He clearly couldn"t get anything good out of him. Even if he was lucky enough to get something good out of him, he would still pay him back double in the end. However, he still insisted on going against him in the business world. What was he trying to do?
He was always going against him so he might have designs on his girl.
The young lady was so likable and Huo Xuan had been single for, like forever.
He had to guard against him.
"Yes, I know. Don"t worry, Brother Nine." To be honest, she didn"t want to interact much with Huo Xuan either. It wasn"t because Huo Xuan was capable, but because he was Little Rain"s brother.
If anything really happened, Little Rain would be in a difficult position.
"When are you coming back?"
To Yan Jinyu, Yin Jiujin"s words sounded very coquettish and accusing.
She was a little helpless. "Brother Nine, I"ve just arrived in South City."
"…How long do you want to stay in South City?"
This clinginess.
"Didn"t I say it before I left? About a week." Moreover, she remembered that she had said it more than once and repeatedly promised that it would not be more than a week before he reluctantly agreed to let her come to South City.
"Alright. A week. No longer than that." But it could be shorter.
However, Yin Jiujin didn"t say that.
"Alright, alright. It"s only for a week."
"Brother Nine, even if I"m not around, you have to eat and sleep on time, okay." This "okay" was so sweet.
Huo Xuan almost had gooseb.u.mps when he heard that.
So this was how the two of them interacted.
Yan Jinyu was young, and she looked like an innocent girl from the outside. He didn"t expect her to actually… dote on Yin Jiujin so much?
Was she doting on him?
Tsk, Yin Jiujin was really lucky. He was clearly a few months younger than him and didn"t have a family business to inherit. He had completely started his business from nothing, but he was actually able to get to his current status. Even he, the heir of the Huo Family business…
Yes, Yin Jiujin had almost overtaken him completely.
Now that he had such a good fiancée, what else could Yin Jiujin be but lucky?
The two of them got lovey-dovey for a while before Yan Jinyu hung up.
She calmly held the phone in her hand and returned to her faint and clear smile. She wasn"t so lively as she was answering the call earlier.
For a moment, Huo Xuan actually felt that it was a pity.
However, this emotion came and went quickly, so Huo Xuan didn"t care very much.
"Young Master Huo is specially waiting here. What"s the matter?" The reason why she didn"t go into the house to pick up the call was because she knew that since Huo Xuan specially waited here, there must be something.
For a smart person like Huo Xuan, her and Little Rain"s actions probably couldn"t escape his eyes.
After she asked that, Huo Xuan"s expression became serious. He stood a little straighter and no longer had the lazy and devilish att.i.tude from before. He looked at her and said seriously, "Eldest Miss Yan and Rainy should have known each other long ago, right?" His tone was firm.
Yan Jinyu wasn"t surprised by his question.
"Yes, we"ve known each other for a long time." There was no need to deny it because even if she did, Huo Xuan wouldn"t believe her.
She narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Young Master Huo, please don"t ask how could I have known Little Rain, who grew up in Country F, when I grew up in an orphanage in a small town in the country? Didn"t Young Master Huo investigate me after I raced in Young Master Huo"s territory that day?"
Huo Xuan was slightly surprised, but he quickly restrained his surprise and smiled calmly, "Miss Yan actually knows."
"Yes, Miss Yan is someone whom even I can"t find out the background of, so it shouldn"t be strange for you to know this."
"I went to investigate Eldest Miss Yan"s matter without permission previously. I shall apologize to you now. That"s because I"m curious about Eldest Miss Yan. Who asked Eldest Miss Yan"s performance to be so different from the rumors?" Although he apologized, there was no hint of apology on his face.
However, Yan Jinyu was the only one who could get Huo Xuan to apologize.
"Unfortunately, I didn"t find anything."
"Of course, I"m not naive enough to think that Eldest Miss Yan would answer my questions in person. I just want to know if Eldest Miss Yan and Rainy know each other because you met Rainy in Country F before?"
Huo Xuan didn"t show it on his face when he asked this, but he wasn"t actually that calm.
From the bottom of his heart, he wanted her to answer "yes."
However, the chances of that were very small.
Yan Jinyu stared at him, then smiled and asked, "What do you think, Young Master Huo?"
"That"s right. I did go to Country F before."
This ambiguous answer…
If she hadn"t asked that question, Huo Xuan might have believed her.
However…
Besides, she only said that she had been to Country F before and didn"t say that she got to know Rainy in Country F.
Huo Xuan didn"t know how they met, but he already had a faint feeling that the truth might have shocked him.
That was why he wanted to know so much.
"How"s Eldest Miss Yan"s relations.h.i.+p with Rainy?" No matter what, this was actually what he was most concerned about.
"A life-and-death relations.h.i.+p."
As soon as Yan Jinyu finished speaking, the person who walked out of the room stopped in her tracks.
It was none other than Huo Siyu.
She returned to her room and realized that it was still early, so she prepared to talk to Yan Jinyu. Unexpectedly, she opened the door and walked out. She happened to hear this conversation and Yan Jinyu"s "life-and-death relations.h.i.+p".
She looked at Huo Xuan and fixed her gaze on Yan Jinyu again.
There was an unknown emotion in Huo Siyu"s eyes.
Wasn"t theirs just a life-and-death relations.h.i.+p?
Putting aside the countless trials and tribulations they had gone through, Beauty Yu had even saved her life.
To be precise, if it wasn"t for Beauty Yu and Brother Feng, she would have died long ago. And Brother Feng only saved her because of Beauty Yu..
Hence, seriously speaking, she was the closest to Beauty Yu.
It was a pity that she actually felt that Beauty Yu was soft and cute. Seeing that Beauty Yu was surrounded, she ignored her serious injuries and wanted to rush out to save her.
Uh, in the end, of course she was saved by Beauty Yu.
"Beauty Yu…"
The moment she opened the door and walked out, Yan Jinyu and Huo Xuan sensed that and looked at her.
After Huo Siyu called out, she calmed down slightly.
She looked at Huo Xuan, "Brother."
"Why did you come out again after returning to your room?" Seeing that she hadn"t changed out of her clothes, Huo Xuan frowned, "Why don"t you change into something more comfortable? You can be more casual at home. You don"t have to be so tense."
Her words reminded Huo Siyu that this was her home.
"I know. Thank you, Brother. I was thinking that Beauty Yu might not be used to being alone in the Huo Family. Seeing that it"s still early, I came to chat with Beauty Yu."
"Brother, are you… looking for Beauty Yu for something?" Although she had once thought of matchmaking Beauty Yu and her brother, that was only a temporary thought. Now that Beauty Yu and Yin Jiujin"s relations.h.i.+p was fine, she actually didn"t want her brother to have any thoughts about Beauty Yu.
Even if she was curious or interested, she didn"t want it to happen.
Because feelings usually started from curiosity and interest.
"It"s fine. We happened to meet, so we chatted casually."
"Since you"re here, let"s talk to your friend. However, you have to go back early to wash up and sleep. Don"t stay up late."
Huo Siyu smiled. "Alright."
Huo Xuan turned his gaze to Yan Jinyu again and nodded slightly at her. He covered his mouth and coughed as he returned to his room and closed the door.
Huo Xuan was actually shocked when he heard about the "life-and-death relations.h.i.+p".
The two girls were only 18 or 19 years old now. They were even younger when they met. How could two girls so young have so much "life-and-death" experience?
Thinking about Yan Jinyu"s driving skills…
It was one thing to have good driving skills, but it was another thing to not want to survive.
Not everyone had the courage to turn the situation around and even take the initiative to hit the other party"s car.
If anything went wrong, she would be the one to die.
At that time, Yan Jinyu didn"t hesitate to b.u.mp into them. Wasn"t it because she didn"t want to survive?
Perhaps, Rainy and Yan Jinyu"s past experiences were similar.
He didn"t dare to think further.
Although Rainy said that she was lost, he had actually found something after so many years of investigation.
She wasn"t lost. She was abducted on the street.
Even when the Huo Family immediately sealed the city and searched everywhere on the streets of South City the moment she was lost, they couldn"t find her.
If it was just an ordinary trafficker who had kidnapped Rainy, with the Huo Family"s status in South City and the huge commotion they caused, how could they not find her?
Besides, Rainy was already seven years old when she got lost. She was already at the age where she could remember things. After she found Rainy, Rainy indeed still remembered the Huo Family.
Since she had led a wandering life in Country F and was adopted by an ordinary couple, that couple even sent Rainy to school normally and treated Rainy as their biological daughter. Rainy would definitely not be restricted wherever she wanted to go in the early years, so why didn"t she return to the Huo Family earlier?
Why didn"t she come back earlier?
As long as Rainy stepped into the country, he would have a chance to find her.
With mixed emotions, Huo Xuan coughed even harder. In the end, his face turned pale and his body felt weak. He needed to support himself.
He took out a bottle of medicine from the storage box on the bedside table with difficulty and took a few pills before he felt better.
He took out his phone and dialed his a.s.sistant, Huo Ning. "Investigate Eldest Missy"s experiences all these years. It"s not limited to Country F. Investigate wherever you can."
Even if Rainy would blame him because of this, he had to investigate clearly because some things seemed to have completely exceeded his understanding.
Since someone dared to touch the Huo Family, he definitely could not let the enemy hide in the dark while he was in the open.
Otherwise, if Rainy was in danger again, wouldn"t he have no way to help?
***
Huo Siyu and Yan Jinyu entered Yan Jinyu"s room.
"Your brother seems to be suspicious. I"m afraid he"ll investigate you again," Yan Jinyu said.
Huo Siyu walked over and sat on the sofa with a complicated expression. She said, "Let him investigate then. My brother is able to take over the Huo Family at such a young age and convince the entire Huo Family. He"s already very capable, so it"s expected that he will suspect us."
"I"m his biological sister. I can actually sense how he treats me. I can"t guarantee that Qin Hao"s att.i.tude towards me will not change after my ident.i.ty is discovered, but I can guarantee that my brother will definitely not harm me."
"But my brother"s body…"
Huo Siyu"s expression was complicated. It was not because Huo Xuan was suspicious and would investigate her, but because she had seen Huo Xuan coughing non-stop and turning pale.
This was not the first time she had seen Huo Xuan like this.
Ever since she returned to the Huo Family, Huo Xuan had never been well when she saw him.
Huo Siyu looked up at Yan Jinyu, who was standing there. She said, "Beauty Yu, I heard that my parents brought my brother to see countless famous doctors. They even met Brother Feng"s sc.u.mbag father and brother, but my brother"s health hasn"t improved at all. I want to bring my brother to see Brother Feng."
"I haven"t seen anyone who can surpa.s.s Brother Feng in the field of medicine all these years."
"Do whatever you want. Feng knows that he"s someone you care about, so he won"t ignore him," Yan Jinyu said. "Coincidentally, the Min Family"s matter is about to come to an end. It"s also Feng"s big matter. We should take a look before he succeeds."
"The new year is in a month. Brother Nine should return to the capital then. He definitely won"t let me stay in North City. I would make a trip to the capital. Then, you can find a chance to bring your brother to the capital and let Feng take a look."
"Don"t think too much about it. It"s naturally good that Feng has a way to cure your brother. If there"s no way, just treat it as if we"re having a gathering somewhere else. I haven"t seen Feng for a long time."
Huo Siyu"s expression changed slightly. "Beauty Yu…"
Beauty Yu wasn"t someone who liked to gather and make a fuss. Otherwise, she wouldn"t have not seen them for a year. She didn"t go to the capital to have a small gathering with them. It was completely for her to feel relieved.
Beauty Yu seemed to not care about anything, but she was actually very loyal.
"It"s settled then. We"ll go to the capital together."
Yan Jinyu smiled. "Mm-hm."
"Have you thought about where you want to go tomorrow?" Yan Jinyu asked.
Huo Siyu"s attention was mostly diverted by her question.. "Tsk, we don"t have to think too much about it. Someone will take the initiative to bring us to "play" tomorrow! Beauty Yu, let"s wait to torture the sc.u.m!"
