Chapter 46 - Total Disregard
Half an hour later, at the underground racing arena.
There were many people here, mostly all kinds of young people.
There were many people, so naturally it was noisy. However, this time, it was Luo Yikun"s team event and since the person he"d brought along wanted to meet Yan Jinyu, there would naturally be people coming up to welcome them as soon as they appeared.
It was a woman. She should be the attendant of the underground racing arena.
"Young Master Feng, Miss Yan." The moment the woman greeted them, Yan Jinyun instinctively looked at Yan Jinyu. Seeing that her expression was normal, she heaved a sigh of relief. A voice echoed in her heart. Fortunately, this person addressed her as "Miss Yan" and not "Eldest Miss Yan." Otherwise…
Actually, there had been cases of people calling her "Eldest Miss Yan" in the past, but she usually didn"t take it to heart.
It was different now. Yan Jinyu was back.
It seemed that ever since Yan Jinyu came back, when she heard others calling her "Miss Yan", a strange feeling would always arise in her heart. However, at the beginning, she treated this feeling as her dislike for Yan Jinyu.
Now that she thought about it, that didn"t seem to be the case.
After the woman greeted them, her gaze landed on Yan Jinyu. Her eyes were sizing her up. Fortunately, she was someone who knew the rules. After a moment, she quickly retracted her gaze and smiled, "Please follow me. Second Young Master Luo has been waiting for you at the rest area for quite a while."
So, this was the legendary Miss Yan. She was quite different from what she had imagined. However, apart from her temperament and looks that were a little different from what she had imagined, there was not much difference.
For example, she was too clean and pure.
This was supposed to be good, but it was not appropriate here.
Such a person was obviously incompatible with these wealthy young masters. She would only be at a disadvantage if she mixed with these young masters.
However, these were not things that a mere attendant like her should be concerned about. It was more important to complete her mission and bring the person over. That lady from the capital did not look like someone to be trifled with. She did not want to be the unlucky one if she couldn"t even do such a small matter of leading the way.
The few of them had just taken a few steps when they saw someone walking over with a fl.u.s.tered expression. "Yuan, you guys are here." It was Xu Gui who had called Feng Yuan.
Xu Gui was tall. He was half a head taller than Feng Yuan, who was 1.8 meters tall.
Of course, Xu Gui was nervous. He had only wanted to vent his frustration when he got Feng Yuan to call Yan Jinyu over, but after making the call, he regretted it.
Putting aside the fact that this was Luo Yikun"s event, that woman had come with Luo Yikun, so Luo Yikun would definitely side with her. Yan Jinyu, the eldest daughter of the Yan Family, had grown up in an orphanage in a small town. Regardless of whether she could gain the Yan Family"s favor or not, she would only be at a disadvantage if she met a pampered daughter from the capital at such an occasion today.
The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it. However, he really did not like that woman"s arrogant att.i.tude. It was as if in her eyes, the people in North City were all country b.u.mpkins.
Feng Yuan nodded. "What happened?"
"The exact situation is similar to what I told you on the phone. It"s just like that. Someone specifically asked to see Miss Yan." Seeing that Yan Jinyun was also there, he was slightly surprised. "Second Miss Yan is here too."
It was no wonder Xu Gui was surprised. Although he was usually carefree and was good friends with Feng Yuan, he more or less knew the Yan Family"s att.i.tude towards Yan Jinyu.
Someone was looking for trouble with Yan Jinyu. In his opinion, it was already good enough that Yan Jinyun didn"t step on Yan Jinyu. He didn"t expect her to follow them.
As for why Xu Gui was so sure that Yan Jinyun didn"t come over to hit her when she was down, he could tell it from Yan Jinyun"s expression.
Yan Jinyun"s expression now was similar to Feng Yuan"s. It was obvious that she was very dissatisfied with someone openly picking on Yan Jinyu.
It didn"t matter if she was sincere or if she couldn"t bear to see anyone publicly shaming the Yan Family in North City. Yan Jinyun was obviously on their side this time.
Yan Jinyun nodded slightly, "Who is it?"
As soon as she asked, Xu Gui—who was sizing up Yan Jinyu while secretly lamenting—frowned and shook his head. "I don"t know. I only heard that she came from a big family in the capital." After saying that, his gaze landed on Yan Jinyu again. He sighed again. If it was just in terms of looks, the way he said she could use her looks to crush the other party earlier, was not considered boastful.
This Miss Yan was more beautiful than the top socialite in North City, Yan Jinyun.
Just that…
How should he describe it? She looked too clean and very easy to bully.
Yan Jinyu naturally realized that Xu Gui was sizing her up, or rather, she knew how the others besides Xu Gui were sizing her up. It was just that she didn"t take it to heart. This was because compared to the surprised, stunned, and pitiful gazes of these people, she was more interested in the troublemaker from the capital.
Since she had acknowledged Yin Jiujin as her fiancé, she didn"t like hearing others say that they weren"t compatible.
Only she and Yin Jiujin were qualified to judge whether they were worthy of each other or not. The Yan Family was not qualified. The Yin Family was not qualified. The others were even less qualified.
Of course, this was not the only reason why she was suddenly interested in that person.
Feng Chen said that the kidnapping back then might have something to do with a certain family in the capital. Since there was a ready-made person in the capital who was looking for trouble now, it was fine for her to take a look at her shortly. On the other hand, the main reason why she made this trip was that she had nothing to do recently. If she was idle for too long, she would inevitably be bored. It suited her to have fun at the door.
"What"s her surname?" Yan Jinyu asked.
"Huh?" Xu Gui did not expect her to suddenly speak. He was stunned for a moment before realizing what she was asking.
"I think her surname is Qiu." He heard Luo Yikun call her Miss Qiu.
However, Miss Yan was asking about the person"s surname and not her full name, so it was inevitable that people would feel a little strange. Shouldn"t they ask the other party"s full name first when they encounter such a situation? It couldn"t be that Miss Yan didn"t take the other party seriously at all, and she could only care about the other party"s family, right?
It had to be said that Xu Gui was confused.
Yan Jinyu indeed didn"t care about her, no matter which family she came from in the capital.
Regarding Yan Jinyu"s question, Feng Yuan and Xu Xiaoxiao—who did not like Yan Jinyu—also felt that it was strange. This was because they had the same thoughts as Xu Gui and felt that this idea was very ridiculous.
Only Yan Jinyun"s eyes flashed when she heard Yan Jinyu"s words.
Ever since she saw Yan Jinyu make a move, she knew that Yan Jinyu was extraordinarily capable, so she completely believed that Yan Jinyu really didn"t take her seriously.
She couldn"t help but heave a sigh of relief.
It was good that she didn"t take him seriously. This meant that Yan Jinyu wouldn"t be at a disadvantage in front of her. As for the rest, they could wait after they saw her.
Master Nine was fine. After all, there weren"t many people in the world who couldn"t be provoked like Master Nine. However, if any Tom, d.i.c.k, and Harry from the capital wanted to look down on the North City people, especially the Yan Family, with a superior att.i.tude, they would be looking down on them too much.
Qiu?
Yan Jinyu only remembered the Yin, Qin, and Min Families were the top three families in the capital. As for the Qiu Family, she had never heard of them. Moreover, she might not even care about the three top families that she remembered, let alone the Qiu Family that she had never heard of.
Yan Jinyun and Feng Yuan"s expressions changed when they heard Xu Gui"s reply.
Although the Qiu Family was far inferior to the three top-notch families in the capital, they were still considered an old family in the capital. Even the Yan Family, the number one family in North City, was slightly inferior to the Qiu Family.
Xu Xiaoxiao saw the change in their expressions and gloated inwardly. It seemed like a difficult character had arrived!
Fantastic. This way, perhaps Yan Jinyu would be finished even without her help.
"Why do all of you have such expressions? Is there something wrong with the Qiu Family?"
Yan Jinyun glanced at her with an unfriendly gaze. Although she hid it very well, Xu Xiaoxiao"s gloating look didn"t escape her eyes.
Feng Yuan did not know what kind of taste he had to actually take a fancy to this Xu Xiaoxiao.
With that thought, she glared at Feng Yuan in disdain.
Feng Yuan, who was worried that the person had hailed from the Qiu Family, suddenly met her fierce glare and disdain. "…" What happened? Did he provoke her?
If it wasn"t for the occasion, he would definitely argue with Yan Jinyun as usual.
He couldn"t be bothered with her, so he might as well not look at her. He glanced at Xu Xiaoxiao and said to Yan Jinyu with a solemn expression, "If it"s the Qiu Family in the capital, I"m afraid there will be some trouble."
Yan Jinyu smiled. "It"s fine. Let"s decide after we meet her."
Feng Yuan was still a little hesitant.
Yan Jinyu stopped in her tracks and looked at him. "Don"t worry. No matter how powerful the Qiu Family is, can they be more powerful than Brother Nine?"
Feng Yuan trembled when he heard her address for Yin Jiujin. However, his eyes lit up when he thought of her words, "That"s right. How could I have forgotten about him? This person casually brought up your engagement, and she didn"t offend only you. She even dared to use that matter as a topic of discussion and casually judge. She"s obviously courting death."
However, Yan Jinyu didn"t think that Yin Jiujin was her backer.
From Feng Yuan"s point of view, or rather, from everyone"s point of view, even if Yan Jinyu received special treatment from Yin Jiujin, he couldn"t be considered as Yan Jinyu"s backer. Naturally, they wouldn"t feel that Yin Jiujin would stand up for Yan Jinyu if she encountered any small matters and suffered some grievances.
Hearing Feng Yuan"s words and knowing who the "Brother Nine" Yan Jinyu was referring to, Xu Gui and Xu Xiaoxiao were both shocked. Yan Jinyu was too bold. Not only in North City, but even in the capital, when people saw that person, they had to respectfully call him "Master Nine". She actually called him "Brother Nine".
Brother Nine didn"t sound like much, but on that person…
The thought alone made them s.h.i.+ver.
Of course, they didn"t think that Yin Jiujin valued Yan Jinyu much either. They only agreed with Feng Yuan"s words.
That young mistress from the Qiu Family dared to talk about Master Nine"s matter and even judged him casually. Wasn"t she courting death?
Yan Jinyu knew what they were thinking, but she didn"t intend to explain further.
Whether Yin Jiujin was her backer or not, she knew very well if Yin Jiujin would help her when she encountered trouble.
Furthermore, she wouldn"t be the one to suffer even if Yin Jiujin didn"t stand up for her. It was just that Yin Jiujin"s name was easier to use, so she just borrowed it.
Seeing how Feng Yuan and Yan Jinyun"s worries disappeared instantly, as well as the attendant who lowered her head to reduce her presence as she led the way, she knew how useful Yin Jiujin"s name was.
About two minutes later, under the lead of the attendant, the few of them finally saw the daughter of the Qiu Family who had requested to see Yan Jinyu.
Although it was called a rest area, it was actually more like an independent luxurious private room.
When they arrived, Luo Yikun was pouring tea for a girl in a black leather jacket and pants, "Miss Qiu, please have some tea."
There weren"t many people in the private room. There were only six people. Other than Luo Yikun and Miss Qiu, the rest were people who were usually close to Luo Yikun—two men and two women.
Yan Jinyu didn"t know them. Yan Jinyun and Feng Yuan were more familiar with them.
Seeing that Luo Yikun was so eager to suck up to Miss Qiu, one of the girls sneered inwardly as jealousy flashed across her eyes at the same time.
That girl was none other than Yan Jinyun"s "good friend" Zhao Yue.
"Second Young Master Luo, she"s here," the female attendant said respectfully.
At that moment, Miss Qiu took the tea that Luo Yikun handed over and looked up at the door.
The first people she saw were naturally not Yan Jinyu, but Yan Jinyun and Feng Yuan who were walking in front.
Miss Qiu put down her teacup and looked Yan Jinyun up and down. She said in a picky and disdainful tone, "You"re the eldest daughter of the Yan Family?"
Yan Jinyun was wearing a long white dress. Her long hair reached her waist, and her looks and temperament were extremely outstanding. She gave people a feeling of elegance. Although she looked a little weak, it was precisely this kind of frailness that attracted men the most. Although Miss Qiu"s tone was picky and disdainful, the jealousy in her eyes was very obvious.
She disliked "Yan Jinyu" even more.
Yan Jinyun frowned slightly over the fact that she didn"t take "Yan Jinyu" seriously.
However, before she could say anything, Luo Yikun, who was sitting beside Miss Qiu, spoke first, "Miss Qiu is mistaken. She"s not the Eldest Miss Yan. She"s Miss Yan"s twin sister, the Second Miss of the Yan Family, Yan Jinyun."
He smiled and looked at Yan Jinyun, her tone sounding a little fawning. "Why is Yun"er here too?"
