Chapter 15 - Shooting Herself In The Foot

"Dad, my mom doesn't want to hear it. What about you?"

Yan Jinyun walked closer to the dining table and happened to hear Yan Jinyu's words. Of course, she also saw the harmless smile on Yan Jinyu's face.

She paused for a moment, "What are Sister and Father talking about? Why are you so happy?" She walked to the seat where Fu Ya was sitting and sat down. It was as if she didn't see Yan Jinyu sitting at her original seat.

The servants had different thoughts when they saw this scene.

It seemed like it was best for them to not give this young mistress any trouble for the time being.

This was just the thoughts of the other servants. The servant who had brought Yan Jinyu to the small villa last night and had been scared off by her glare, as well as the servant who were serving at the dining table earlier, who had also been frightened by Yan Jinyu's gaze, didn't think so.

They were thinking that no matter what, they would not dare to give this young mistress any trouble at any time.

They were afraid of her, even though they didn't know where this fear came from.

Yan Qingyu's gaze swept past Yan Jinyu's face. He paused for a moment before answering Yan Jinyun, "Nothing." He didn't have the appetite to eat anymore, so he simply stood up, "You guys go ahead. I'm going to the office."

Yan Jinyun's gaze shifted slightly before answering with a gentle and sensible tone, "Alright, Daddy. Be careful on the road and come back early."

Yan Qingyu nodded, feeling much more relieved.

The daughter that he raised was still the most considerate, unlike the one who had just returned. She only knew how to antagonize him.

Fu Ya was not the only one who was frightened by her words earlier on. It was just that compared to Fu Ya, he was more stable and so his reaction was not as drastic as Fu Ya's.

Died long ago…

Although they didn't believe in supernatural beings, they were in the wrong after all. They would still feel guilty.

They would feel fear if they felt guilt.

It was one thing to understand, but it was another thing for her to say it out so straightforwardly.

Outsiders only knew that the Yan Family did not have the ability to save both of their daughters back then, but they did not know the exact details. If this matter were to spread out, others might say that they did not care about the life and death of their biological daughter and were heartless. This would not be good for them or the Yan Family.

"Since you're back safely, don't talk about the past anymore. The safety of our family is more important than anything else. You've suffered a lot over the past few years, so you should stay home and rest for a few days. After you familiarize yourself with the new environment, I'll get your sister to take you out and make some friends."

Yan Jinyu looked at him.

He wanted to use small favors to get her to let the matter rest?

If news of what they had done back then were to spread, they would definitely be criticized wherever they went. After all, anyone with a bit of conscience would not agree with their actions.

There were many people who would do anything to save their children's lives, even if they had to go bankrupt. Furthermore, Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya only needed to borrow a sum of money from others to save her back then, and yet they had refused to.

However, Yan Jinyu simply couldn't be bothered to blow this matter up.

"You're being so kind, Dad."

She clearly did not mean that, but Yan Qingyu somehow felt that her words were mocking him.

She was mocking him for saying that.

After Yan Qingyu left with a strange feeling, only Yan Jinyu and Yan Jinyun were left at the dining table.

"Did Sister sleep well last night?"

Yan Jinyu didn't continue to eat anymore. She was drinking milk with one hand and replying to messages with her phone with the other. Yin Jiujin was the only person who would send her messages on her new phone.

She checked the time. It was a message to her at seven in the morning, telling her that he had arrived at his destination and that he had something to do. He told her to text him if she needed anything. Don't call him. He would return the message as soon as he saw it.

Yan Jinyu replied with a [Okay].

She roughly knew why Yin Jiujin had left, so she knew very well that his plane should have arrived in the middle of the night yesterday. However, he hadn't sent her a text at that time, presumably because he was afraid of disturbing her sleep. He had also chosen to send her a message at seven in the morning, presumably because he felt that she had already woken up at that time. And his reference point was undoubtedly himself, or perhaps it had been delayed by his own standards.

What a meticulous, gentle and disciplined person.

The matter that he had personally dealt with was probably very troublesome. Since it was a thorny matter, he should not have the time to bother about these trivial matters. Yet, he had taken the time to ask her to send him a message even when he was busy. He even said that he would reply once he saw her message. He did not even let her call him.

Since he did not allow her to make the call, it would either be inconvenient for him to pick up or… he was afraid that she would overthink if he missed her call.

She was very satisfied with this fiancé of hers.

She felt much better. Hence, when she heard Yan Jinyun's words, she looked up at her in a good mood and replied, "Not bad."

Yan Jinyun glanced at the phone in her hand and her eyes darkened.

How could Yan Jinyu, who came from the countryside, have the money to buy the latest cell phone? If she didn't have money, then it could only be that Master Nine had bought it for her yesterday. It was obvious that she was replying to some message and the other party was most likely Master Nine!

What did Yan Jinyu do to deserve it?!

"That's good. If you need anything, just let the butler know. Or you can look for Dad, Mom, or me. You've worked hard all these years. We'll try our best to satisfy you if you need anything."

Yan Jinyu simply smiled and looked at her, "You will try your best to satisfy all my needs?"

Yan Jinyun was stunned. She felt that Yan Jinyu's words were a trap, but since she had already said these words to gain Yan Jinyu's trust, she naturally couldn't take it back, "Of course, as long as it's not too much, I will try my best to satisfy you."

It had to be said that Yan Jinyun still had some brains and didn't trap herself.

"If I remember correctly, my room should be on the second floor of the main building. I want to stay in my own room."

The moment she finished speaking, the smile on Yan Jinyun's face froze.

16 years ago, both their rooms were on the second floor of the main building, each occupying half of it. Yan Jinyu's room was still there until her grandparents passed away. She was already eight years old when her grandmother passed away. She was already aware of things, so she had a deep impression of Yan Jinyu's room.

Yan Jinyu's room looked more beautiful than hers. Of course, she knew very well that her room and Yan Jinyu's room had the same layout. The reason why she felt that Yan Jinyu's room was more beautiful than hers was because Yan Jinyu's room had been unoccupied for a long time. Everything was new, and so it naturally looked brighter than her room.

Even though she understood, she simply couldn't help feeling unhappy about it.

She had mentioned more than once that she wanted to stay in Yan Jinyu's room, but she would be scolded by her grandparents every time. As time passed, she started to have some resentment towards Yan Jinyu.

A year after her grandfather passed away, her grandmother passed away too. Right after her grandmother's funeral, she acted coquettishly to her mother and asked her to find someone to knock down Yan Jinyu's room

After their rooms were connected, her cloakroom was doubled in size. There was also a dance studio and a study room.

The second floor was her personal space now.

Yan Jinyu wanted to move back? Fat hope!

"Sister, it's not that I don't agree, but after all, you haven't been home for 16 years. The second floor has been renovated several times, and your room has been… long gone. If you want to find someone to renovate it, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it in two or three months and you can't move in immediately after the renovation too. This way, if you want to stay in the new room, you'll have to wait for at least half a year."

"It's alright. I'm not in a hurry. I can renovate the place first.. I can move it when it is ready."
