Chapter 139 - Persuading

"Oh right, the Zhao Family also said that if Master Nine doesn't pursue this matter, their Zhao Family's largest development project will choose to cooperate with the Yan Corporation. To the Zhao Family, it's the largest development project, but it's not that important to the Yan Family. However, the more money we make, the better."

"Speaking of which, the Zhao Family is really shameless. How did they figure out that we need to use Master Nine to deal with them? If anything really happens, I, alone, can make the Zhao Family unable to turn over a new leaf in North City."

"I didn't tell the Zhao Family about this. Even if I didn't really do anything to the Zhao Family, it's a fact that Zhao Yue once caused trouble for you. Just making them feel uneasy for a period of time is already a very easy punishment for them."

Yan Jinyu chuckled, "You've already said everything. What should I say then?"

"Speaking of which, if it wasn't for the fact that those people from the Qiu Family were brainless, they wouldn't have ended up like that. I don't even care about the Qiu Family, let alone the North City's Zhao Family."

Yan Jinyun was also very speechless at the mention of the Qiu Family.

A big group of them rushed to the Empire Group to apologize to Master Nine. She really didn't know what they were thinking. Didn't they think that that would anger Master Nine?

Who would find someone to apologize by making a scene at their company?

Alright, even if they wanted to go to the company, was there a need for so many of them to go? What did they take the Empire Group headquarters as?

"What about the project with the Zhao Family?"

Yan Jinyu smiled and asked, "Why not? Didn't you say that the more money we earn, the better? You can decide for yourself regarding the Yan Corporation. You don't have to ask me."

"Of course, I'm not asking you everything. After all, I'm the one in charge of the Yan Corporation now. I'm thinking that since this matter is related to you, I have to let you know."

Yan Jinyu nodded in satisfaction. "Mm-hm." It was very difficult for someone who always relied on others to grow up. Yan Jinyu was very satisfied that Yan Jinyun could understand that she was the one in charge of the Yan Corporation.

"Sister." Yan Jinyun suddenly looked serious.

However, Yan Jinyu was stunned for a moment. "If there's anything, just say it."

"Do you want to continue studying in school? I'm the one in charge of the Yan Family now. If you…"

Yan Jinyu stopped drinking and her face twitched.

Couldn't she escape from this topic?

She suddenly regretted it very much. Why did she create such a persona back then? If she had known earlier, she would have made up a superb past for herself.

She had completely forgotten that her initial thoughts were that such a past would always be easily pitied. Perhaps, seeing her return to the Yan Family, her parents…

Forget it, let's not talk about them.

It was more convenient to get close to Yin Jiujin with the persona of a weakling.

After all, her main purpose for coming back was to get close to Yin Jiujin and then contact the Yin Family through Yin Jiujin to find out the cause of Bai Ye's death.

At that time, this was what she found after three years of confusion that could barely be considered as the "meaning of life".

Now, it was all in passing.

"There's no hurry."

"But…"

"Alright, Yun'er. You also know that what you know about my past that I only studied in junior high is fake. I really don't need to go to school. Don't interfere in this matter anymore."

"Even so, you're only the same age as me. Even if you skipped a grade, you should only be in university. You can't have skipped a few grades and finished studying in university, right? I heard that Master Nine got a double doctorate in the capital's universities. Even if you really graduated from university, it's still not enough. Even if you skipped a grade, can you still finish your doctorate at this age?"

"Don't lie to me. A person like Master Nine only got two doctorates at the age of 20. You're only 18 now. No matter how good you are, can you be better than Master Nine?"

"Alright, I'll take it that you're really very formidable. You've also gotten a doctorate at this age. Then, can you get a double doctorate like Master Nine?"

"After all, going to school is very beneficial to you. Our Yan Family's status is far inferior to the Yin Family's. We can't compare to the Yin Family in terms of family background. You have to make others unable to find an excuse in your education. Isn't it good to let others feel that you and Master Nine are made in heaven?"

"…" Yan Jinyu. She was really not used to Yan Jinyun being such a "busybody". Didn't she always like to say one thing and mean another? Why did she have to be so direct?

Her head hurt.

"Well, I did get a double doctorate. No, not just a double doctorate. I could get a few doctorates if I wanted one or even a couple of postdocs."

"…" Yan Jinyun. Who would believe you?

"Sister…"

"Aiyah, the person who picked me up is here. I'll get going first. Call me if anything happens."

Yan Jinyun thought that Yan Jinyu was looking for an excuse. She followed her gaze and saw a car parked outside the shop.

The person who got out of the car was Yin Jiujin.

He seemed to have gotten out of the driver's seat. In other words, he drove here alone to pick Yan Jinyu up.

It was almost lunchtime, so he specially came to pick Yan Jinyu up for lunch?

As Yan Jinyun was thinking, Yan Jinyu had already walked out of the cold drink shop quickly and ran straight towards Yin Jiujin.

From Yan Jinyun's angle, she could only see the pretty girl in a pink floral dress throwing herself into the arms of the man in the white shirt. The man hugged her tightly and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. Then, the two of them seemed to say something before they got into the car and left.

Yan Jinyun chuckled.

Forget it. Master Nine was still around after all. Moreover, Yan Jinyu was quite capable herself. Even if her education level wasn't comparable, she probably wouldn't suffer much.

She didn't expect she would become so naggy one day.

She felt that she didn't look like Yan Jinyu's younger sister at all just now. Instead, she looked like her mother. Oh well, so be it. Who asked her to take up all the maternal love that belonged to Yan Jinyu?

However, she had forgotten that she might not have had that so-called maternal love before.

After Yan Jinyu left, Yan Jinyun didn't leave immediately. Instead, she calmly finished the small cake before slowly taking out her phone from her bag.

She had already sent the chauffeur back. She needed someone to pick her up now.

She had just confessed and should strike while the iron was hot. The most suitable person to pick her up now was naturally Feng Yuan.

However, before that, she needed to send the third wheel away.

Hence, Yan Jinyun sent Xu Gui a message.

She called Feng Yuan after 10 minutes.

"Brother Nine, why did you suddenly come over?" Yan Jinyu, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, asked Yin Jiujin as she held her chin.

"I heard from Uncle Cheng that you went out. When I found out that you were here, I thought I would pick you up for lunch."

"Yes, it's rare for Yun'er to be free. It's also Saturday today. She doesn't have to go to school, so she asked me to come out and have a seat." She wasn't lying. As for what she had told Yan Jinyun, it wasn't that she couldn't let Yin Jiujin know. It was just that she felt that those matters were unimportant and there was no need to specially mention them to him.

"If there's nothing else, don't stay at Mount Jing constantly. You don't want to accompany me to the company but you don't want to go to school either. If you have time, you can ask your sister out to sit like today or go shopping for beauty treatments. Don't you girls like these?"

"Next time." Looking at him, Yan Jinyu smiled very brightly. "However, Brother Nine, since you know that I have an appointment with Yun'er and you want me to go shopping with Yun'er for beauty treatments, why did you come to pick me up so quickly?"

"I didn't know that the person you were meeting was your sister." That was not a lie.

"Then, who does Brother Nine think I'm meeting?"

"…I thought you were alone," Yin Jiujin said without changing his expression.

He didn't know who she was meeting, but he knew that she must not have been bored to the point of wanting to go out alone. She had spent so many days on Mount Jing alone. He couldn't help but feel uneasy when he thought of her identity and had no idea about her social circle.

What if she was meeting a man?

Yan Jinyu looked at him and smiled mysteriously, "Alright, then Brother Nine, where are we going now?"

"Min Ting just arrived in North City. He booked a place to discuss something with me and I came to pick you up."

Yan Jinyu's eyes darkened slightly. Talk about something?

He had specially come to North City to talk to Yin Jiujin about something. It was most likely related to "Elegant Bamboo". After all, Yin Jiujin and Min Ting had gone to Elegant Bamboo together last time and that had happened.

With Yin Jiujin's ability, it was impossible for him not to find out who the boss behind Elegant Bamboo was.

If they found Meimei, they would definitely think of Feng.

"You guys will be talking about something. Would it be inappropriate for me to go?"

Upon hearing her words, Yin Jiujin frowned. "There's nothing inappropriate about it. Don't say such things in the future. As long as it's related to me, there's nothing you can't know."

When Yan Jinyu heard that, her heart skipped a beat. Then, she smiled sweetly, "Mm-hm, I understand."

After a while, they arrived at the place Min Ting had booked. Under the lead of the waiter, Yin Jiujin led Yan Jinyu to the private room.

The waiter knocked on the door, then pushed open the door and retreated to the side respectfully, "Master Nine, Miss Yan, please come in."

The two of them walked into the private room. When Yan Jinyu saw the person sitting inside, the smile on her face suddenly froze.

Meimei.
