Chapter 23 - Sudden Murderous Intent
"Don"t use the excuse that I can"t get a taxi outside the Yan Family mansion. If you don"t get me a chauffeur, I"ll have to find one myself. Brother Nine"s personal chauffeur, Cheng Lin, left me his name card. He said that I can call him anytime when I want to go out. However, if I call Cheng Lin, the news that the Yan Family"s eldest daughter doesn"t even have a car when she goes out will quickly spread to Brother Nine…"
Yan Qingyu narrowed his eyes. This elder daughter of his…" Yun"er, since your sister wants to go shopping first, accompany her. "
Not to mention the Yan family, even in North City, no one had ever dared to treat her like this. Yan Jinyun"s eyes darkened slightly.
Indeed, Yan Jinyu was not an easy person to deal with.
Although she was unhappy, she knew that if she wanted to gain Yan Jinyu"s trust, she couldn"t reject her now.
Besides, her father had already spoken.
She stood up and tidied her dress, "Since you want to go shopping, I"ll accompany you. Wait for me for a few minutes. I"ll go upstairs to get my bag."
Yan Jinyun"s expression changed as soon as she turned around.
There was no trace of a smile.
When Master Nine sent Yan Jinyu to the Yan Family that day, he said that he would only return to North City after at least two months. So, did she still have to endure Yan Jinyu like this for nearly two months?
No! Even one more day would be unbearable!
Want to go out for a stroll? Sure! Then she"ll accompany her for a stroll!
"You"re putting on such airs. If you don"t want to show your face, then don"t show your face. If you want to show your face, then show your face! Now that you want to go out for a walk, you still need someone to accompany you. Do you really think you"re some big shot?" Fu Ya wanted to endure it, but seeing Yan Jinyu like this, she really couldn"t.
Yun"er was the real daughter of the Yan Family and the top socialite in North City. She was just a country girl, how dared she to treat Yun"er like this!?
When Yan Jinyu heard that, she turned back to look at her and smiled lightly. "Mom, I didn"t say that Yun"er must accompany me."
Looking into her smiling eyes, Fu Ya"s words were stuck in her throat and she felt a chill down her spine.
Something was very wrong!
There was something wrong with this girl!
She simply stood there leaning lazily against the sofa and looking back at her with a smile. Yet, she made her feel like she was being stared at by a venomous snake.
However, upon closer inspection, there seemed to be nothing wrong.
If even Fu Ya could sense it, how could Yan Qingyu not?
Yan Qingyu glanced at Yan Jinyu, who was leaning against the sofa and playing with her phone. She frowned slightly, "Yun"er should be coming down soon. Since you"re going out together, go and see which car you want to take. After you"ve chosen, let the butler inform the chauffeur."
He seemed to be asking her to pick a car, but he was, in fact, getting her out of there.
Yan Qingyu couldn"t figure out what was wrong with Yan Jinyu, and it wasn"t convenient for him to say anything now. However, if he stayed in the same s.p.a.ce as Yan Jinyu, he would feel an unknown uneasiness in his heart, so it was better to send her away first.
His elder daughter was very different from the information that he got. He had to send someone to investigate further.
However, he didn"t know that if Yan Jinyu didn"t want others to find out about her, even Yin Jiujin might not be able to find out, let alone Yan Qingyu.
Yan Jinyu looked at him and smiled. "Sure."
However, she did not go out immediately. Instead, she stood up straight and looked at Butler Wan, who was trying to lower his head as much as possible. "Butler Wan, who"s in charge of the purchases in the kitchen?"
Feeling the strange atmosphere, Butler Wan—who was trying his best to make them forget about his presence—was suddenly called out. He trembled and raised his head with difficulty. "M-Miss, why are you asking this?
He could tell that this Eldest Missy was really not easy to bully. With his experience, even if she didn"t have Master Nine as her backing, she could shut Madam up with just a look. Therefore, she might not be the one who was at a disadvantage in the Yan Family.
Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya shared the same doubts with him too.
Yan Jinyu asked, "Who"s in charge?"
Butler Wan trembled and hurriedly said, "Zhao Ling. Zhao Ling is in charge." He simply could not figure it out. Didn"t the Eldest Missy simply smile? Why was he so afraid? Missy was just a 17 or 18-year-old girl. She was not a G.o.d of Death who had killed countless people. How could a smile be so lethal?
"Missy should know Zhao Ling. She"s been responsible for sending Missy"s three meals a day."
"So it"s her."
Zhao Ling was the one who came into contact with Yan Jinyu the most in the Yan Family. Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya were both frightened by Yan Jinyu"s gaze in just one meeting. Zhao Ling saw her every day, so she was even more afraid of her.
"Tell her not to forget to replenish my yogurt when she does the purchases in the future. After she buys them, there"s no need to put them in the main building. Just put them in the fridge in the living room on the first floor of the building where I live." The guests who could stay in the Yan family were all not simple. Since Yan Jinyu lived in a building specially prepared for guests, the living room naturally had everything. Of course, there was a refrigerator too.
For the past few days, Yan Jinyu had never left the small villa. The yogurt that she had placed in the kitchen fridge in the main building had already been moved to the villa"s fridge by Zhao Ling.
"Yogurt? When has the Yan Family ever bought such an unpresentable thing? That kind of thing is not allowed to appear in the Yan Family in the future!"
Yan Jinyu narrowed her eyes on her. "Mom, what did you say just now?"
Fu Ya"s heart skipped a beat. Yan Qingyu"s grip on his teacup tightened.
Because at that moment, they seemed to have felt a killing intent emitting from her body.
Cold and terrifying.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but none of them dared to make a sound at that time as they all tensed up. It was a ringtone that saved them.
Yan Jinyu"s phone rang.
The cold murderous intent around Yan Jinyu disappeared when her phone rang and she lowered her eyes to look at the caller ID.
Yan Qingyu realized belatedly then that his palms were covered in cold sweat.
His heart trembled slightly.
He would not be the head of the number one family in Northern City if he still couldn"t tell that his eldest daughter was really evil.
Yan Jinyu picked up the call, "Little Rain." She let out an almost imperceptible sigh when she picked up the call.
She almost…
"Beauty Yu, are you still alright?"
"I have no yogurt on hand."
There was silence on the other end of the line. "Brother Feng doesn"t limit your quant.i.ty on this day every year. Why are you… is it inconvenient for you to buy the place you"re staying now?"
"No. It was me who didn"t pay much attention. I thought there was more."
"Hurry up and buy them since you don"t have them anymore. We aren"t by your side either. What if you… you can"t help but want to make a move and no one will clean up your mess… Or I"ll fly to North City to look for you now?"
"You don"t have to. I was just about to leave the house."
"You really don"t need me to go over? You don"t have to worry. It"s very convenient for me to travel with my current ident.i.ty. No one will suspect me even if I make a trip to North City. Even if someone does suspect me, I can still resolve it."
"That"s not what I"m worried about. Tomorrow is a Monday and you have to go to school. There"s no need for you to specially take a few hours" flight over."
The person on the other end seemed to be deflated, "Beauty Yu, don"t you know what kind of person I am? I already knew the things taught in school like the back of my hand. Why would I still need to go to school? If it wasn"t because I didn"t want my family to notice anything, I wouldn"t have gone to school and pretend to be a good student."
"Little Rain."
"Alright, alright. I know. It"s a new life. I want to live a new life. I have my parents and brother who love me. I also have an outstanding fiancé. I want to forget about the past and start a new life. You"ve said this many times. I remember it. But you only know how to talk about me. You…"
"Forget it, forget it. Let"s not talk about these things anymore. Since you don"t want me to go to North City, I won"t go. If you don"t have the yogurt on hand, go out and buy it. However, although Brother Feng said that he won"t limit your amount today, you can"t drink too much either. You"ll get diarrhea."
A small smile curved at her lips.. "Yeah."
