Chapter 521: Planning To Return To The Country
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Yes. What’s the matter, Auntie?”
The person who called was Yan Ruyu from the Yan Family.
She was Yan Jinyu’s aunt.
Yan Jinyu didn’t expect Yan Ruyu to call at this time.
After her 18th birthday, Yan Ruyu left and returned to the country where she lived with her husband and son. Although she would contact her occasionally, she rarely did.
She had only just confirmed her engagement with Yin Jiujin. Not many people knew about it, not even Yan Jinyun.
Yan Ruyu probably didn’t call her because of this.
“It’s nothing important. I just haven’t called you for a long time. I thought that since it’s Sunday today and you’re not going to cla.s.s, I’ll call to talk to you.” Yan Ruyu’s voice was very gentle as if she was afraid of scaring her.
“Are you busy now?”
“I’m not busy.” She was just accompanying Qin Jianjia to shop. She really wasn’t interested in shopping herself.
“…Are you used to living in the capital?” Yan Ruyu asked after some consideration.
Yan Ruyu knew Yan Jinyu’s relations.h.i.+p with the Yan Family even if she wasn’t in the country.
The news media had already reported that she had already cut ties with the Yan Family.
At that time, Yan Ruyu had even called Yan Jinyu, but she didn’t mention this matter. She was afraid that Yan Jinyu would be sad if she mentioned it.
In Yan Ruyu’s opinion, even if Yan Jinyu didn’t grow up in a rural orphanage and wasn’t that timid, she was still just a 19-year-old girl after all.
Even with Yin Jiujin’s protection, she definitely wished to have the care of her family.
Besides, Yan Ruyu didn’t know how the Yin Family treated Yan Jinyu.
However, she had heard of Min Qinglan. She was worried that after Yan Jinyu interacted with the Yin Family, the Yan Family would find fault with her.
“I’m fine.” It was indeed fine.
However, after saying that, Yan Jinyu realized that these two words seemed a little vague. Yan Ruyu would probably think too much after hearing them.
Hence, she added, “Pretty good. I’m quite used to it.”
“It’s great that you are used to it. Can you keep up with your studies?”
Before Yan Jinyu could reply, she said, “Oh, I almost forgot. You’re the North City’s top student for the college entrance examination. Of course, you can keep up.”
Speaking of the college entrance examination, Yan Ruyu had been paying attention ever since Yan Jinyu went to school. Of course, she knew Yan Jinyu’s college entrance examination results too.
She called Yan Jinyun to ask.
When she found out about Yan Jinyu’s college entrance examination results, Yan Ruyu was so shocked that she couldn’t recover for a long time.
North City was not considered a place with weak teachers. Every year, there were countless formidable college entrance examination candidates. It was not easy to be the top scorer in North City.
However, Yan Jinyu did it.
What happened to dropping out of school after graduating from the third year of junior high school?
“Have you met the Yin Family?”
“We met last year. On Brother Nine’s birthday last year, they went to North City to celebrate Brother Nine’s birthday. I saw them then.”
“Huh? You met them so early?” Yin Jiujin and Yan Jinyu were engaged. Yan Ruyu roughly knew when Yin Jiujin’s birthday was.
“Yes, I met them very early.”
Yan Jinyu paused for a moment before saying, “I spent last year’s new year at the Yin Family.”
She was not someone who did not know what was good for her. Since Yan Ruyu cared about her, there was no need for her to keep quiet and let Yan Ruyu worry for no reason.
However, Yan Ruyu had never asked her about her interactions with the Yin Family in the past, so she didn’t mention it.
Yan Ruyu was silent for a long time after hearing her words.
“Were you celebrating the new year at the Yin Family?” Yan Ruyu had also called Yan Jinyu during the new year, but she didn’t ask where Yan Jinyu was.
She knew that Yan Jinyu didn’t return to the Yan Family for the new year. She was afraid that Yan Jinyu would be sad if she asked her that.
However, she never expected that Yan Jinyu would go to the Yin Family for the new year.
Yin Jiujin had a very bad relations.h.i.+p with the Yin Family. She didn’t expect Yin Jiujin to bring Yan Jinyu back to the Yin Family so early.
She thought that Yan Jinyu was celebrating the new year at Mount Jing in North City.
“Yes, with Brother Nine.”
“Aunt, don’t worry too much. I get along quite well with the Yin Family.” She didn’t care how her relations.h.i.+p with the Yin Family was, but since Yan Ruyu was worried, she didn’t mind telling her that.
She had indeed gotten along quite well with the Yin Family.
“Actually, even if Auntie doesn’t call me, I’m also prepared to find a time to call you. The third of next month is my engagement party with Brother Nine. If you have time, you can bring Uncle and Cousin along for the party.”
Yan Ruyu was surprised and jumped up from the sofa. “Engagement party?!”
“Your engagement party with Second Young Master Yin?”
“Yes, the Yin Family has already decided on the date. Brother Nine will arrange everything. If nothing goes wrong, the invitation should be sent to you within a week.”
“W-Why is it so…” [Sudden?]
Yan Ruyu didn’t say the last word.
Sudden?
Yu’er and Second Young Master Yin were already engaged. Since Second Young Master Yin protected Yu’er and kept Yu’er by his side, the engagement party was only a matter of time.
Yu’er had been back for more than a year, and she had also interacted with Second Young Master Yin for more than a year.
An engagement party was indeed normal.
But…
She was still very shocked.
The Yin Family agreed just like that?
Could it really be as Yu’er had said, that she got along well with the Yin Family?
She thought that Yu’er was comforting her.
No, it didn’t need the Yin Family to accept Yu’er. This engagement party could be held just because of Second Young Master Yin. The Yin Family shouldn’t be able to influence his decision.
Perhaps, the engagement was only Second Young Master Yin’s idea and the Yin Family did not agree.
Yan Ruyu became even more worried when she thought about that.
She wanted to ask, but she didn’t know where to start.
Even if she asked, Yu’er might not tell the truth.
It seemed like she had to go back home quickly.
“Did Second Young Master Yin arrange the engagement party?” After thinking about it, Yan Ruyu decided to probe first.
“Before I reported to the Imperial Capital University, Brother Nine had already arranged everything. However, the guest list is handled by Aunt Yin now.”
Yan Ruyu thought that she had heard wrongly. After a while, she said in surprise, “You said that the guest list is… who’s in charge of it?!”
“The aunt of the Yin Family, Grandpa Yin’s daughter, the eldest daughter of the Yin Family, Yin Xiaoxiao.”
“…” Yan Ruyu.
“The eldest daughter of the Yin Family. Didn’t she already…”
“No, the enemy used some tricks. Aunt and Uncle are still alive.”
Yan Ruyu fell silent again.
This sudden news was too shocking.
After a long while, she said, “I called you because I actually have something to trouble you with. I should say that I want you to ask Second Young Master Yin for a favor.”
Yan Jinyu was a little surprised. “Go ahead.”
“Your uncle and I are preparing to return to the country. We’ve already contacted the Imperial Capital University. We’ll be teaching at the Imperial Capital University in the future, but your cousin’s school is a little difficult to arrange. I thought that Second Young Master Yin was more familiar with the capital, so I asked him to help arrange it.”
It wasn’t a big deal. Otherwise, Yan Ruyu wouldn’t have looked for Yan Jinyu and asked her to speak to Yin Jiujin.
Actually, she had planned to arrange this after she returned to the country.
She suddenly brought it up because she was just too shocked and wanted to change the topic.
Yan Jinyu didn’t ask her why she wanted to return to the country. “When will Aunt return?”
“The original plan was a week later.”
“Alright, I’ll arrange it for Cousin before you return.”
The two of them spoke a few more words before hanging up.
