Chapter 161 - People Change
Yin Yuhan"s lips twitched when he heard that.
His father was considered a big shot. He was usually such an old-fas.h.i.+oned person, but he actually said such words. It seemed like he was indeed very angry.
He was initially angry too, but after hearing this, his anger dissipated.
He stood up. "Dad, Mom, I"ll go accompany Jianjia."
Yin Wuzhan glanced at him and didn"t interfere. He continued to look at Min Qinglan and said, "Jianjia is right. It"s fine if you lose a son, but don"t let the Yin Family lose a Second Young Master. Isn"t the lesson from that incident back then enough?"
"Dad has always been a man of his word. Since he said that whoever provoked Jin"er during this trip to North City will get out of the Yin Family, he"s not joking."
"Besides, if you really don"t know your limits and anger Jin"er, making him distance himself from us even more, even if Dad doesn"t pursue the matter, I won"t let it go."
Min Qinglan"s eyes widened, "Yin Wuzhan, what do you mean by that?!"
"I think you should understand."
"You! How can you treat me like this! You clearly didn"t treat me like this in the past!"
Yin Wuzhan looked at her with a complicated expression. "Min Qinglan, you weren"t like this in the past either."
They didn"t marry for family alliance, but for love.
Although Min Qinglan was the one who pursued Yin Wuzhan first in the beginning, it was undeniable that Yin Wuzhan really liked her and that was why he got together with her.
Yin Wuzhan was the head of the Yin Family after Old Master retired. Someone who could prop up the Yin Family after Old Master and maintain the Yin Family"s status couldn"t be simple.
And such a Yin Wuzhan, Min Qinglan, whom he had taken a fancy to in his early years, was naturally not like this before either.
Perhaps, everyone would change at a point in their lives.
A lifetime was so long. Some people might change at any time.
Yin Wuzhan"s words stunned Min Qinglan. She was actually speechless for a long time.
After saying that, Yin Wuzhan fell silent.

In the living room, Yan Jinyu was waiting for Yin Jiujin when she suddenly heard footsteps behind her.
She turned around and saw Qin Jianjia walking towards her.
Qin Jianjia smiled gently. "Yu"er."
Yan Jinyu smiled back at her. "Sister-in-law."
"Don"t treat Sister-in-law as an outsider. Before I married into the Yin Family, I treated Jin"er as my biological younger brother."
"I know." She really knew. She couldn"t find more information about the Yin Family, but she had found out about Yin Jiujin and the Qin Family"s Eldest Young Master, Qin Hao. She naturally knew about Qin Jianjia, Qin Hao"s sister.
Including her att.i.tude towards Yin Jiujin, her biological brother"s good friend.
Qin Jianjia didn"t know if she really knew or was pretending to know. However, it seemed like she didn"t take her anger out on her.
This was good.
"The many photos of Jin"er when he was young that we mentioned previously are true. You really have to go to the Yin Family to take a look when you"re free…"
As she spoke, Qin Jianjia paused for a moment before continuing to look at Yan Jinyu. Her expression became more serious, "Jin"er hasn"t returned to the Yin Family for more than half a year. The last time he went back was during the New Year. He didn"t stay long when he went back and he left after eating the New Year"s Eve meal."
"After Jin"er turned 16, he only returned to the Yin Family at most three times a year. There were two years when he only returned once."
"And Jin"er is actually a very family-oriented person. If it wasn"t for the incident back then…"
As she spoke, she met Yan Jinyu"s smiling clear eyes. Qin Jianjia was puzzled and couldn"t help but ask, "Aren"t you curious about what happened back then that made Jin"er so distant from his family?"
Yan Jinyu smiled and shook her head. "I"m not curious."
She was naturally curious, but she didn"t investigate, so she naturally didn"t intend to ask from others.
If Yin Jiujin wanted her to know, he would naturally tell her.
Her answer surprised Qin Jianjia.
Not curious?
Of course, she didn"t believe her. However, Yan Jinyu"s expression looked really… hard to tell.
She smiled. "Let"s not talk about that first. If you"re free, go take a look at the Yin Family."
"If you go to the Yin Family as a guest, Jin"er will definitely not feel at ease letting you go alone…"
"Little Yu," Yin Jiujin, who had taken a beige windbreaker from the stairs, suddenly interrupted Qin Jianjia.
He simply glanced at Qin Jianjia indifferently.
Qin Jianjia shut up sheepishly.
It seemed like the conversation was over.
At this moment, Yin Yuhan also walked over. Looking at Yin Jiujin, who was holding a windbreaker and personally putting it on Yan Jinyu, Yin Yuhan was surprised, but he didn"t show it on his face.
He only said, "Mom is like that. Don"t take her words to heart."
Yin Jiujin helped Yan Jinyu put on her windbreaker. When he heard that, he glanced at Yin Yuhan and replied with a "Mmm" without any emotions. Then, he gently pulled Yan Jinyu"s long hair out of the collar of her s.h.i.+rt and helped her tidy it up.
Without caring if anyone was present, he lowered his head and pecked her on the forehead before holding one of her hands. "Let"s go."
"Do you mind if we go together? Your brother and I haven"t come to Mount Jing for a long time," Qin Jianjia replied.
Yin Jiujin"s gaze swept past her. "Up to you."
He held Yan Jinyu"s hand and was about to walk out.
Just as they was about to walk to the entrance, they saw Aunt Cheng carrying something that looked like a soup bowl. "Miss Yu."
Yan Jinyu looked at the things she was carrying and her smile deepened. "Aunt Cheng, are you…" She thought that Yin Jiujin had secretly taken medicine from Min Rufeng behind her back again.
"Oh, this is chicken soup. I specially prepared it for you. I saw that you didn"t drink it at the dining table just now, so I specially prepared a bowl for you.".
Hearing that it was chicken soup and not medicine, Yan Jinyu couldn"t help but heave a sigh of relief. She raised her hand and took it. "Thank you, Aunt Cheng."
She didn"t think much of it when she tilted her head back and drank it. However, Yin Jiujin saw the bruise on her neck because of her action of tilting her head back and then glanced at the chicken soup she was drinking.
His gaze was meaningful.
