Chapter 174 - The Same Flight
When she was about to set off, Yin Jiujin didn"t want to let her go at all. It made Yan Jinyu feel like he wanted to abandon his work and follow her to South City. After comforting him for a while, Yin Jiujin reluctantly sent her to the airport himself.
The plane ticket Yin Jiujin got someone to book for her was naturally first cla.s.s.
After boarding the plane, someone was already sitting on the seat beside Yan Jinyu"s. It was a 17 or 18-year-old teenager. He was wearing earphones and looking out of the window.
Yan Jinyu came over. He retracted his gaze and glanced at her.
He retracted her gaze after one quick glance.
He continued to look out of the window.
Yan Jinyu didn"t care either. She only glanced at him indifferently when he looked over and then sat down.
She took out her phone to play games. In order to deal with the two hours on the plane, she specially downloaded a game that she could play without the Internet.
Yes, the game looked a little boring and stupid.
Because she had been playing this game the entire time she was on the plane, she did not sleep or do anything else. This made the young man, who was wearing earphones and had even taken out a book to read midway, look at her twice.
However, he had no intention of talking to her.
He was a quiet and cold teenager.
When the plane was about to reach South City, he put the book back into his bag. Yan Jinyu"s hand, which was playing games, paused when she saw the student ID card that fell out of his bag.
It was a Boyu High School"s student pa.s.s with a name and cla.s.s on it.
Yuan Xi, Year Three Cla.s.s 1.
It was Yan Jinyun"s cla.s.s.
After learning from Huo Siyu that the head of the Jones Family might be at Boyu High School, Yan Jinyu had gone through the simple information about all the students and teachers at Boyu High School.
She naturally knew about Yuan Xi.
The eldest grandson of the Yuan Family, who was second only to the Huo Family in South City.
He had just transferred from Country Y to North City this semester, and the time he returned to North City was about the same as the time she returned to North City.
He had been studying in Boyu for half a semester.
He was Yan Jinyu"s number one suspect.
However, he was also the eldest grandson of the Yuan Family…
The Jones Family in Country Y was not related to the Yuan Family in South City. Of course, it was also possible that Jones was pretending to be the eldest grandson of the Yuan Family.
Did she not suspect him just because he looked clean and cool?
Did Yan Jinyu look like the number one killer?
Hence, even though she saw him with her own eyes, Yan Jinyu didn"t dispel her doubts about him.
Moreover, he was the eldest grandson of the Yuan Family in South City. Why would he go to a school in North City for no reason? Did South City lack that elite school?
Yuan Xi naturally noticed that she was paying attention to his student ID.
She had been playing games and nothing had distracted her. It was hard for Yuan Xi not to notice that she had suddenly noticed his student ID.
After a moment of hesitation, Yuan Xi put away his student ID and asked her, "Are you also Boyu"s student?" After asking, his expression froze, as if he was frustrated.
She did not know if he was upset that he was talking to an unknown girl abnormally or annoyed that he had asked such a stupid question.
The girl was very beautiful. If she was Boyu"s student, she would definitely be an influential person in school. Even if he did not interact much with others, he would more or less hear about her.
"I"m not, but my younger sister is."
Yan Jinyu smiled, looking very innocent and harmless. With such an expression on her beautiful face, it was very easy for people to let down their guard in front of her.
The cold and taciturn youth couldn"t help but speak again, "Your younger sister?"
"Yes, my sister"s grades are very good. You should have heard of her."
"Oh, she seems to be in the same cla.s.s as you."
"My sister"s name is Yan Jinyun."
Hearing that, Yuan Xi looked at her more seriously.
Yan Jinyun was the top socialite in North City, the school belle of Boyu, and in the same cla.s.s as him. How could he not know her?
It turned out that the girl in front of him was the eldest daughter of the Yan Family, who had become very famous in North City in recent months.
He didn"t expect the girl that Master Nine valued so much to be like this.
She was indeed beautiful. However, it was hard to imagine that this was the girl who was rumored to have charmed Master Nine to the point that he had to bring her along even when he went to the company.
When he heard those rumors about Master Nine bringing the eldest daughter of the Yan Family to the company, he thought that the eldest daughter of the Yan Family was charming and seductive.
"So you"re Eldest Miss Yan."
Yan Jinyu smiled as a response.
She continued to play the game.
Her action stunned Yuan Xi.
Under normal circ.u.mstances like this, didn"t she usually have to make some small talk before finding a topic to talk about? Was that all she was going to do?
Was it because he had not interacted seriously with others for too long, and everyone"s way of communication was different now? Or was Yan Jinyu actually different from the others?
However, he wasn"t a talkative person. Seeing that Yan Jinyu didn"t have any intention of chatting, he retracted his gaze and put on his earphones again.
They arrived in South City shortly.
Huo Siyu came to the airport personally to pick her up.
She looked like she was afraid that she would miss Yan Jinyu. She stood at the exit looking out for her.
She could have contacted her with a phone call.
As soon as she saw Yan Jinyu coming out with a pink suitcase, Huo Siyu hurriedly jumped up and waved, "Beauty Yu, over here!"
After knowing that South City was cold, Yan Jinyu had already put on a down jacket when she got off the plane.
A pink down jacket.
Chosen by Yin Jiujin.
She was dressed in pink and had long hair that reached her waist. Her looks were also very outstanding. In addition, with Huo Siyu"s huge commotion, Yan Jinyu successfully attracted the attention of a group of pa.s.sers-by.
Yuan Xi, who was walking behind her, was a little surprised to see Huo Siyu waving excitedly.
At the Huo Family"s engagement party a year ago, the young mistress that the Huo Family found was clearly an elegant beauty. Why was she so…
…so lively now?
Although he was puzzled, he did not probe further.
Yan Jinyu walked towards Huo Siyu. If one looked closely, they could still see a faint helplessness in her eyes.
Huo Siyu took her luggage. "Beauty Yu, how is it? The weather in South City and North City are very different, right? I still feel cold wearing so much."
"I"m fine. Where are we going now?"
"Let"s go back to the Huo Family first. I"ll get the Huo Family"s chauffeur to send me to the airport. Everyone in the Huo Family knows that you"re coming over as a guest. My mother instructed the kitchen to prepare dinner and asked me to bring you to the Huo Family as soon as possible." Yan Jinyu"s flight was after noon. It was almost five o"clock in South City now.
"Your Master Nine is still the most influential one," Huo Siyu teased.
Yan Jinyu looked at her and chuckled, "I don"t call him Master Nine. That"s what others call him."
"Alright, alright. Whatever you say. I wonder when our Beauty Yu became like this. She even learned to bask in happiness."
Yan Jinyu chuckled and didn"t answer her.
"Shall we go over now?"
Just as Huo Siyu was about to respond, she saw Yuan Xi walking behind Yan Jinyu. Her smile faded slightly. She looked like an elegant beauty. "Young Master Yuan."
Yuan Xi, who had witnessed her change in att.i.tude, was speechless. "Miss Huo."
"Young Master Yuan just came back from North City?"
"Yes, I stayed in North City for a few more days after the holiday." Yuan Xi looked at them and said, "So Miss Huo knows Eldest Miss Yan."
Huo Siyu didn"t know that he was sitting beside Yan Jinyu on the plane. When she heard that, the smile in her eyes faded a little.
Just like Yan Jinyu, Yuan Xi was also her number one suspect.
"I met Second Young Master Yin at the Huo Family"s banquet and was on the same flight with Second Young Master Yin when I went to North City from the capital last time so we know each other. Coincidentally, Beauty Yu went to the airport to pick Second Young Master Yin up, so Second Young Master Yin introduced his fiancée to me. Beauty Yu and I hit it off very well. We"re already good friends now."
"I invited Beauty Yu to South City as a guest."
Beauty Yu…
Yuan Xi glanced at Yan Jinyu. It was quite appropriate.
"I see."
"The Yuan Family"s chauffeur is here. I"ll make a move first. I"ll visit you again another day."
Huo Siyu nodded with a smile.
After Yuan Xi left, Huo Siyu returned to her original appearance and smiled casually. "Let"s go, Beauty Yu."
The two of them walked out of the airport. Huo Siyu looked at Yuan Xi, who was walking not far away, and said seriously, "Beauty Yu, you should know about Yuan Xi, right?"
"Yes, I know. He sat beside me on the plane just now."
Huo Siyu glanced at her angrily. "That"s not what I"m talking about."
Yan Jinyu smiled. "I know. I just want to tell you that he only knew my ident.i.ty on the plane. Of course, we can"t rule out the possibility that he knew long ago and was just pretending not to know."
"The Jones Family is currently in a heated fight with the Smith Family now. As the head of the Jones Family, the chances of Jones appearing in the country are not high. Hence, I don"t suspect this young master of the Yuan Family so much anymore after meeting him."
Huo Siyu thought for a moment and said, "You have a point, but we still can"t let our guard down."
"Mm-hm."
After leaving the airport, the two of them got into the Huo Family"s car and headed straight for the Huo Family.
Yan Jinyu suddenly felt that the Huo Family was the real wealthy family when they arrived at the Huo Family"s residence.
The entire mansion was like a castle. It would take another 20 minutes for the car to reach the main building from the Huo Family"s gate.
Moreover, the buildings in the Huo Family"s mansion… could not even be described as buildings. They were architecture.
They were luxurious and grand.
Yan Jinyu looked like a country b.u.mpkin as she leaned against the car window. Most importantly, she even said, "Little Rain, your house is really big!"
Huo Siyu"s lips twitched. "It"s just so-so." She spoke as if she had never seen the world. What good places had Beauty Yu not been to when she was on her missions?
She was clearly used to going to an unfamiliar place to observe the terrain, but she made herself look like a country b.u.mpkin.
"Beauty Yu, when you see the Huo Family later, you can ignore them if you don"t want to. Anyway, you have such a fiancé. Even the Huo Family won"t dare to offend you easily."
Only Huo Xuan dared to challenge Yin Jiujin in the Huo Family. As for the others in the Huo Family…
Yes, they were also very afraid of Yin Jiujin.
The Huo Family…
Yan Jinyu retracted her gaze and glanced at her. Then, she smiled, "Mm-hm, I know. Don"t worry about that. You know that I"ve never been the kind of person to suffer."
"Besides, this is your home. Will you let me suffer here?"
Yan Jinyu"s tone was nothing special, but Huo Siyu knew that she was emphasizing the word "your home".
This was the tacit understanding that they had developed over the years.
Looking at her deeply, Huo Siyu suddenly smiled. "That"s a must."
