Chapter 32 - Meeting An Acquaintance
Even so, Yan Jinyun still looked at her strangely. She didn"t know if it was because of her sudden change in mood or because she suddenly said that she was treating.
"I have Dad"s card. You don"t have to treat me." But she still called the waiter over to order a drink.
Perhaps, even Yan Jinyun herself did not realize that she was no longer her usual pretentious self in front of Yan Jinyu now. She also did not deliberately speak gently.
Yan Jinyun didn"t notice it, but Yan Jinyu did.
After that, no one spoke. Yan Jinyu finished her drink and saw that Yan Jinyun had stopped drinking. From time to time, she would raise her head to look at her. She looked like she wanted to say something but stopped.
"Just say it."
Yan Jinyun looked at her, then at the empty two cups beside her. "You drank so much, don"t you feel uncomfortable?" She had just drunk ten packets of yogurt not long ago, and now she was drinking two large cups of it.
Yan Jinyu paused for a moment and didn"t answer her. She only said, "Let"s find a place to eat. Don"t you have to attend your cla.s.smates" birthday party later?"
Of course, it was uncomfortable to drink so much yoghurt, but she was already used to it.
Putting aside the fact that she was especially frustrated today, after making those people bleed in the dark alley earlier, she had to drink something out of habit.
This was a habit she had developed over the years. It was just that she did not have yogurt on hand, and there were no yogurt shops nearby, so she replaced it with drinks that tasted similar.
Seeing that she didn"t want to talk about this matter, Yan Jinyun didn"t want to continue. However, she couldn"t help but say, "No matter how much you like to drink, there must be a limit."
There were so many things that she didn"t want to say anymore. She wasn"t the kind of person who would immediately treat Yan Jinyu as her biological sister when she saw that Yan Jinyu was different from what she thought. She wasn"t a kind person either, so it was already very rare for her to say so much.
"As for the birthday party of my cla.s.smates, we are not close friends to begin with so it doesn"t matter if we go or not." She had used this as an excuse to bring Yan Jinyu out today. If she hadn"t suddenly thought of harming her in the alley, she had originally planned to use some tricks to embarra.s.s Yan Jinyu at the party and then appear at the right time to help her out and gain her trust.
Since there was no need for it now, she no longer wanted to attend the birthday party.
"It"s time for lunch. There"s a good restaurant on the third floor next to the elevator so we don"t have to go far. Let"s go there."
After drinking so much stuff, Yan Jinyu wasn"t really hungry. It was just that she had to eat when it was time to eat. If she didn"t eat, she would immediately have a few more prescriptions for Chinese medicine when those few people found out.
The Chinese medicine was very bitter. She had drunk a lot in the past and did not want to drink it anymore.
Nodding in agreement with Yan Jinyun"s suggestion, the two of them were about to get up when they heard a slightly surprised voice, "Yan Jinyun, why are you here?"
His tone didn"t sound good either.
She looked up and saw a man and a woman walking out from a private room not far away. Since they were sitting in that private room, the people outside couldn"t see them and they couldn"t see outside either.
From the looks of it, they must have come before them.
The person who spoke was a boy. He looked to be around 18 or 19 years old and had handsome features. He had a displeased look on his face, as if meeting Yan Jinyun here made him very unhappy.
According to Yan Jinyu"s understanding, as the top socialite in North City, there were very few people of the same age who didn"t like Yan Jinyun in Northern City. However, when this boy saw Yan Jinyun, he looked as if he had seen his enemy. Yan Jinyu was a little surprised and couldn"t help but take a few more glances at the boy.
The boy quickly noticed her sizing him up. He s.h.i.+fted his gaze from Yan Jinyun to her.
When he saw her, the boy was stunned for a moment before he said, "You, you"re Yan Jinyu?"
The girl in front of him was about the same height as Yan Jinyun. She was wearing a floral dress and had black hair that fell down to her waist. She didn"t have Yan Jinyun"s long and straight black hair. Her long hair was slightly curled and when she stood there, she looked elegant and clean. It was completely different from Yan Jinyun"s feigned gentleness. She looked much more pleasing.
Although it was not obvious, Yan Jinyu could still sense the excitement in the boy"s voice when he said "Yan Jinyu."
Before Yan Jinyu could reply, the boy continued, "Why are you with Yan Jinyun? Yan Jinyun is such a black-hearted fake b.i.t.c.h. Aren"t you afraid of being cheated on by her if you get so close to her?"
As he spoke, he left the girl who was holding his arm and walked over quickly. He blocked Yan Jinyu behind him. "Yan Jinyun, you have to have some conscience. Jinyu is your biological sister after all. Don"t use your evil heart on her."
"I know that your family wants you to fulfill the engagement with the Yin Family in Jinyu"s place. Jinyu"s return will cut off your path. Based on your family"s character, you will definitely think of ways to scheme against Jinyu. But don"t forget what kind of family the Yin Family is and what kind of person Master Nine is. Even without Jinyu, it wouldn"t be your turn. I advise you not to use those dirty tricks on Jinyu!"
"Feng Yuan, can you change your habit of sticking your nose into other people"s business? Do I need you to teach me how the Yan Family does things and how I, Yan Jinyun, do things?" It was fine usually, but when he said this in front of Yan Jinyu, Yan Jinyun"s face turned red.
She was embarra.s.sed.
Because they had indeed planned to plot against Yan Jinyu.
However, it was one thing for everyone to know the truth. It was another thing to be told so directly in her face.
On the other hand, when Yan Jinyu saw Feng Yuan"s actions, she had a guess about his ident.i.ty. When she heard Yan Jinyun call out his name, she could confirm his ident.i.ty.
Her grandmother"s name was Feng Yan, and she was a member of the Feng Clan in North City. The Feng Clan"s status in North City was inferior to the Yan Clan, but they could also be considered a first-rate clan in North City.
The current head of the Feng family was Feng Yuan"s father, and Feng Yuan"s grandfather and Feng Yan were cousins. Feng Yuan should call Feng Yan grandaunt.
Feng Yuan was 18 years old this year, and he"s a few months older than Yan Jinyu and Yan Jinyun. In this way, Yan Jinyu and Yan Jinyun had to address Feng Yuan"s father as Uncle, and Feng Yuan as Cousin.
Although the Yan Family and the Feng Family were in-laws, ever since Feng Yan pa.s.sed away, the Feng Family despised the Yan Family"s decision to give up on Yan Jinyu. They had many arguments over this matter. As time pa.s.sed, the relations.h.i.+p between the two families became distant, and they rarely interacted with each other anymore.
After the Yan family gave up on searching for Yan Jinyu, the Feng Family continued to search. However, because the Feng Family was a large family, not everyone agreed to spend a large sum of money to look for an outsider. After a long time, only Feng Yuan"s father"s family was still searching. After all, one"s financial resources were limited, and the search for someone was not effective.
"What? You Yans could do it, but I can"t say anything about it? Yan Jinyun, I"m warning you. Don"t waste your efforts on Jinyu. Jinyu… Jinyu has been away from home for so many years and is easily fooled by you but I"m not easy to fool."
Yan Jinyu felt that his words were probably meant to say that she had not seen the world and was easily bewitched. He was probably afraid that she would feel uncomfortable hearing it, so he changed his words.
She knew that Feng Yuan"s father had been looking for her. She owed the Feng Family this favor and she would repay it when she had the chance.
Returning a favor wasn"t something she had to do in person. This was also why she had no intention of visiting the Feng Family after returning to North City for some time.
She didn"t even want to get too close to Yan Xin, let alone the Feng Family.
"You"re not easy to fool? Ha." Yan Jinyun didn"t say much. She simply glanced at the girl who he had left behind and was walking over now.
"What do you mean by that sneer?" Feng Yuan could hear contempt from her sneer, so of course he was unhappy.
