Chapter 429: The Vacation Is Over
Liu Guang looked at Yu Quan.
Cold sweat broke out on Yu Quan’s forehead, “S-Sir, you also know that boy’s personality. I can’t beat his stubborn temper. Moreover, if he knew that back then…”
Liu Guang glanced over with a sharp gaze. Yu Quan then remembered that there were others here and quickly shut up.
“Alright, I already know what you want to say. Go back,” Liu Guang said to Min Sisi.
Min Sisi felt that he was patronizing her. She lowered her eyes and felt a little unhappy.
Her father had clearly not treated her like this in the past. Her ability was taught by her father personally. Why had her father become so unfamiliar after only three years?
Luo Yikun was clearly told by her father that he was the a.s.sistant prepared for her and would be used by her in the future, but in the end…
Also, Yu Quan clearly wanted to say something just now, but he was interrupted by her father.
If Luo Yikun knew about it back then?
Knew what back then?
There should be something else that she did not know, and her father did not seem to intend to let her know.
“Father, I haven’t seen you for so many years. Can I stay here for a while more? I won’t disturb you for too long. I’ll leave after a while.”
She glanced at Feng Yun.
Even if this person’s ident.i.ty was not worthy of her, she still wanted to get to know him.
There were indeed very few men that she liked.
“I haven’t seen Brother in a long time either. I want to talk to him.”
Liu Yu was very happy when he heard that.
“Father, I haven’t seen my sister in a long time either. I want to talk to her properly.”
Liu Guang frowned and looked at him. He was obviously unhappy.
Liu Yu was a little nervous and hurriedly said, “Father, Sister and I will go outside to talk. We won’t disturb you here.”
“Don’t forget your current ident.i.ty. Leave immediately in half an hour!” Liu Guang said to Min Sisi.
“Yes.”
However, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she looked at Feng Yun.
Feng Yun had sensed that the way she looked at him was strange from the beginning. He even frowned slightly. He knew how eye-catching he was in front of people, but this was the first time he had seen such a disgusting gaze.
Feng Yun didn’t say anything and turned to go upstairs.
It was better not to go for a walk. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but attack directly if he met her outside later and she continued to look at him with such disgusting gazes.
However, Min Sisi’s actions were seen by Liu Guang and his expression instantly darkened.
Liu Yu sensed his anger and hurriedly pulled Min Sisi away by her arm. “Father, Sisi and I are going out for a walk!”
Min Sisi only successfully shook off Liu Yu’s hand after she had dragged him out far away. “Brother, what are you doing?”
“What are you doing? Tell me, what were you doing just now? You actually stared at a man in front of Father. Are you tired of living?”
“I-I’m not staring at him.”
“I just feel that that man’s temperament is very special. I’m just curious about his ident.i.ty. Brother, why were there so many people in the living room just now? Who are they? Are they Father’s friends? Or… subordinates?”
Min Sisi had never even seen Hei Yao before.
“This isn’t something you should ask about. You just have to remember that you’re going to marry into the Yin Family in the future. If Father finds out that you’re targeting another man instead of doing your own job properly, even I won’t be able to save you then.”
Liu Yu actually only said half of it.
He knew very well how much Liu Guang disliked Feng Yun.
He knew the reason why Liu Guang didn’t like Feng Yun.
Hence, he knew very well that if Min Sisi really had any thoughts about Feng Yun, she would be finished.
“Why shouldn’t I ask? Brother, I’m your biological sister. You and Father actually didn’t contact me for three years. I couldn’t contact you either. Do you know how worried I was for the past three years?”
Min Sisi looked delicate to begin with. Liu Yu panicked when she cried.
“Y-you don’t cry first. It’s indeed my fault for not contacting you, but there’s a reason why we didn’t contact you.”
“Something happened three years ago. Most of Father’s power was destroyed in the hands of the enemy. Father almost lost his life…”
Min Sisi seemed to have suddenly thought of something and quickly interrupted him, “Was Father in a wheelchair just now? Then, Father’s legs…”
Min Sisi only realized now that Liu Guang was sitting in a wheelchair.
Liu Yu realized that something was wrong when she asked that.
Her father was sitting in a wheelchair just now and her sister could see him the moment she entered, but she actually didn’t ask anything just now…
It was a little far-fetched to say that she thought that her father was just having fun sitting in the wheelchair.
Although their father’s legs were indeed fine.
If she really cared about someone, she should have realized that something was wrong immediately.
Seeing that Liu Yu was silent and seemed to be in a daze, Min Sisi was stunned.
She knew Liu Yu very well. Liu Yu was a simple-minded person and would not hide his emotions, especially in front of her, his sister.
He was…
She quickly interrupted his thoughts. “I saw so many people in the room just now and was curious about their ident.i.ties. In addition, Father seemed to be very angry with me. I was busy explaining and forgot to ask.”
“Brother, Father… is fine, right?”
After she said that, Liu Yu slowly dispelled his doubts. “He’s fine. He’s just a little injured. He’ll be fine after resting for a while.”
Seeing this, Min Sisi heaved a sigh of relief. “By the way, Brother, you just said that something happened three years ago. Why was most of Father’s power destroyed by the enemy?”
“Speaking of which, I still don’t know what Father does. What exactly does he do since you’ve been by Father’s side all these years? Or rather, what exactly are you guys doing?”
Min Sisi wiped her tears as she spoke. “I know Brother didn’t tell me because you didn’t want me to worry, but I care about you guys. I don’t even know where to look for you guys these three years. You don’t know how worried I am.”
Liu Yu hesitated. He wanted to tell her directly, but he didn’t say it in the end. “…It’s not that I don’t want to say it. There are some things that won’t do you any good if you know. Just be the eldest daughter of the Min Family and wait for Father’s next arrangements.”
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to say it, but his father didn’t allow him to.
Min Sisi stared at him. After confirming that he really wouldn’t say anything, she pretended to wipe her tears and changed the topic. “Alright, since you guys are doing this for my own good, I won’t ask. However, Brother, you guys don’t want to tell me anything. I’ll be very worried when I go back. Just tell me about the few people in the living room just now. Are they our own people or enemies? You can tell me that, right?”
“I saw Father call the man in the wheelchair, Jones. Is he from the Jones Family in Country Y that I know of?”
“Yes, he’s Lind Jones, the head of the Jones Family. He’s considered Father’s partner, but he’s not a good person. Most of the time, he doesn’t even give Father face. You better not interact with such a person.”
“What about the other person? The one in black standing not far behind Father. Why haven’t I seen him before? Is he Father’s subordinate?”
Hearing her ask about Hei Yao, Liu Yu’s expression darkened.
“You can say that. He’s someone Father trusts very much.”
Min Sisi still saw the change in his expression at that moment.
She was puzzled.
Since he was someone her father trusted very much, why did her brother seem to be very unhappy to mention him?
“I see.” Min Sisi put on her gla.s.ses to hide the emotions in her eyes. “Then, what about the one in white? The one in the white robe.”
Liu Yu stopped in his tracks and looked at her seriously. “Sister, tell me honestly. Do you really like Feng Yun?”
“So he’s called Feng Yun…” Min Sisi narrowed her eyes and murmured.
“What did you say?” Liu Yu didn’t hear her clearly.
“Nothing.” Min Sisi looked up again and had already restrained her emotions. “Brother, what are you talking about? I really don’t like him. Don’t you know best about what I want? I want to marry into the Yin Family and be the most respected woman in the capital. How can I possibly like anyone else?”
Hearing her say that and seeing that there was nothing wrong with her expression, Liu Yu felt relieved. “It’s best if it’s not.”
“Father hates him the most. I’ll remind you again. If you really have any feelings for him, even I can’t help you then. Father will probably not acknowledge you as his daughter.”
Min Sisi’s eyes darkened when she heard that.
So serious?
“So, he’s not one of us?”
“Yes, he’s not one of us.”
“Since he’s not one of us, why is he here? I heard from you that more than half of Father’s power was destroyed by the enemy three years ago. Father probably has many enemies. Will there be any trouble if he casually brings someone who isn’t one of us back to his own territory?”
“Don’t worry. This isn’t our base…”
“What base?”
Realizing that he had said something wrong, Liu Yu quickly corrected himself, “I mean, this isn’t Father’s only hiding place. Even if this place is exposed, we still have somewhere else to go. Moreover, Father has chips in his hands. Even if that person is an enemy, he wouldn’t dare to act rashly.”
Min Sisi adjusted her gla.s.ses to hide the emotions in her eyes. “I see.”
She actually heard it. Liu Yu was talking about the base!
Would an ordinary person’s hiding place be called a “base”?
And that Feng Yun. Perhaps, she had to investigate who he was when she returned.
Since he was her father’s enemy, she might be able to find out who her father’s enemy was. If she could find out the enemy, wouldn’t she be able to find out what her father was doing?
Besides, she also wanted to investigate Feng Yun.
“Sister, you have to remember Father’s words. Father told you not to do anything for the time being. You must not secretly do things behind Father’s back. Three years ago, most of his power was destroyed by the enemy. Father’s temper has become increasingly difficult to understand now. Sometimes, even I’m very afraid of Father.”
So that was the reason. She knew it. That was why her father’s att.i.tude towards her change so much.
“I understand. Thank you, Brother.”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll make a move first. Don’t make Father angry when he sees you later. Remember to call me if there’s anything. Remember that I’m not an outsider. I’m your family.”
“I know Brother and Father want to protect me, but you also know that I’m not a delicate flower in a greenhouse. I can help.”
“Yes, I know.” Liu Yu was very relieved.
He was indeed thinking too much just now. How could his sister not care about his father at all?
“Go back in peace. I’ll help you get whatever you want.”
“…Thank you, Brother.” A hint of disdain flashed past Min Sisi’s eyes.
She would still believe that if her father had said it. She did not have any hope for her brother.
***
A few days later.
North City.
Yan Jinyu had returned from her vacation.
She didn’t inform Yin Jiujin before she came and simply dragged her luggage to the company to look for him.
After holding it in for so many days, she wanted to ask Yin Jiujin in person what exactly was going on with Chu Yiran.
“Miss Yu, you’re here?” The receptionist was very warm.
Yan Jinyu smiled and nodded. “Yes, is your Master Nine in the company?”
The receptionist sighed. Miss Yu was really beautiful and kind. Miss Yu would smile and respond every time they greeted her.
“Yes, but he should be in a meeting now. Miss Yu might have to wait a while after you go upstairs. Do you need us to call Special a.s.sistant Lin and ask him to tell Master Nine that you’re here?”
“There’s no need to. I’ll go up and wait for him myself. Help me take a look after my luggage. I won’t bring it up.”
“Sure.”
The receptionist came out to take the luggage, “Miss Yu, did you just come back from a vacation?”
“Yes, a graduation trip. With a few cla.s.smates.”
The receptionist then remembered that Yan Jinyu had only just graduated from high school.
“Then I’m sure the journey must be very enjoyable.”
“It’s still fine.”
“I’ll go upstairs first. You guys go get busy.”
“Sure.”
When Yan Jinyu got into the elevator, the two receptionists started to lament, “Miss Yu is really easy to talk to. If it were Master Nine, I would be terrified when I see him. How would I dare to talk to him?”
“Indeed. In the past, many people said that Eldest Miss Yan isn’t worthy of our Master Nine. Only we know that they’re both handsome and beautiful. They’re simply a match made in heaven.”
“That’s right.”
“Master Nine doesn’t seem to be as scary as before after Miss Yu appeared.”
“I didn’t realize it until you told me. That seems to be the case.”
