Chapter 9 - The Yan Family's Plan

Yan Qingyu let them in, and Yan Jinyu didn't stand on ceremony. She walked past them and entered the mansion first. The Yan Family looked at each other in shock.

"Mom, she…" Yan Jinyun almost revealed how much she disliked Yan Jinyu. It was only when she glanced at the servants at the side that she stopped herself in time.

Looking at Yan Jinyu's back as she walked into the villa, Fu Ya snorted coldly. "She doesn't know how to behave at all!"

"Cut it out!" Yan Qingyu was obviously very unhappy with Yan Jinyu's disrespectful attitude towards them too. However, he had a new plan in his heart, so he temporarily suppressed his unhappiness.

Fu Ya was a typical wealthy lady who relied on her husband for survival. Naturally, she did not dare to go against Yan Qingyu. With Yan Qingyu's rebuke, no matter how unhappy she was with Yan Jinyu, she could only shut up.

"Put this box of yogurt in the fridge for me. Bring this box into my room. Don't forget to remind the others that no one is allowed to touch my yogurt. Also, get someone to bring me to my room."

When they walked in, they saw Yan Jinyu instructing the servants without hesitation.

"…"

Didn't she say that she had never seen the world and had grown up in the countryside? She didn't sound like someone who had never seen the world when she ordered the servants around.

Yan Jinyun narrowed her eyes and began to size up this twin sister whom she hadn't taken seriously at first.

She was wearing a light blue dress and her waist-length black hair flowed freely down her back. She had an exquisite face and pure, clear eyes. Her every action exuded a presence that a village girl simply could not possess.

She had sneaked into her father's study room to take a look at the report about Yan Jinyu. She knew very well how Yan Jinyu had survived all these years. Based on the information, the Yan Jinyu in her imagination would never behave like this.

Perhaps, the information that Dad found was wrong?

She immediately shot down this deduction.

Given the Yan Family's capabilities, after Master Nine found out Yan Jinyu's whereabouts and sent someone to deliver the news, they would have sent someone to investigate. The information they found would definitely be accurate.

But what was going on with Yan Jinyu? Could it be because she had the blood of the Yan Family flowing in her veins, so that was why she had such a bearing in her bones? Or was it because of the early wisdom she had mentioned earlier that made her not forget what it was like to be the eldest daughter of the Yan Family?

Yan Jinyun couldn't figure it out at all.

No matter what, she no longer dared to look down on her twin sister.

When she saw Master Nine's attitude towards Yan Jinyu today, she was momentarily overwhelmed and almost lost her cool. This was not the intelligence that she, Yan Jinyun, should have.

"What are you all waiting for? Didn't you hear what my sister said?"

Regardless of whether it was the bearing of the Yan Family in her bones or Yan Jinyu's so-called early wisdom, they could not deny the fact that she had worked hard in the rural orphanage and had never seen the world. Her attitude towards her family was so bad after she came back, so perhaps she resented her parents for not saving her back then.

If there was resentment, it would then mean that Yan Jinyu still had hopes for them. Or rather, she still had hopes for kinship.

Such a person would be the easiest to bribe.

She did not believe that Yan Jinyun would not be able to subdue Yan Jinyu when so many young ladies from influential families in North City had followed her lead.

After she subdued Yan Jinyu and left a good impression in front of Master Nine, it would be hard to say who would be the one to marry into the Yin Family.

Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya were both puzzled that Yan Jinyun suddenly spoke up to help Yan Jinyu.

They hadn't forgotten how angry Yan Jinyun was when she mentioned that she had met Yan Jinyu—who was with Master Nine then—when she came back from the mall. Why now…

Yan Qingyu was the head of the Yan Family after all. He quickly understood Yan Jinyun's plan.

However, he did not expose it.

Compared to letting a daughter who had been outside for 16 years, who was not close to them at all and might even resent them, marry into the Yin Family, the daughter whom he had doted on since she was young, would be the best for him and the Yan Family.

He would let Yun'er give it a try first. Even if it didn't work out, as long as he treated his eldest daughter well during this period of time, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage when his eldest daughter married into the Yin Family. She was just a young lady who had grown up in a poor village and suffered for many years. How could she not remember his kindness?

"Didn't you hear… Second Young Mistress? Jinyu is my eldest daughter. As the eldest daughter of the Yan Family, can't she even order a servant around?"

The servants were speechless.

It wasn't how Sir and Madam had instructed them previously.They had only said that eldest Miss Yan, who had been missing for many years, would come back in the next few days and asked them to randomly choose a guest room to turn into her room. After being a helper of the Yan Family for so many years, everyone more or less had the ability to observe people's expressions. Although the Yan Family had many guest rooms, the area was not considered big. It was not even half as big as the second young mistress' dressing room.

With such a narrow guest room set up as the "young mistress'" room, it was obvious how Sir and Madam treated her.

They clearly didn't like her, but now they were blaming the servants for being insensitive. They really didn't know what to say about them.

However, it was also understandable. They probably didn't expect that this young mistress, who had been missing for so many years, would catch Master Nine's eye.

Master Nine personally sent her back to the Yan Family, so the Yan Family probably didn't dare to neglect her anymore.

Fu Ya didn't agree when Yan Jinyun suddenly spoke up for Yan Jinyu. She was only appeased after hearing Yan Qingyu's words.

It was clear that Fu Ya wasn't stupid since she was to be able to hold on to the position of the Yan Family's first lady and keep Yan Qingyu by her side for so many years.

She quickly understood her husband and daughter's intentions.

Looking at Yan Jinyu, who seemed to be shocked by their sudden change in attitude, Fu Ya glared at the servants. "Why are you all still in a daze? Didn't you hear what Sir and Miss said?"

A servant who was the supervisor, reacted and swiftly lowered her head to reply, "Yes, I'll bring Missy back to her room now." Then, she instructed another servant behind her, "Put Missy's yogurt in the fridge."

That person agreed and carried that box of yogurt to the kitchen.

Was Yan Jinyu stunned by their sudden change in attitude?

Yes and no.

She was slightly surprised, but not to the point of being stunned.

She was just thinking that the Yan family did not seem to be so brainless. This was good too. They would mind their own business and it would save her the trouble of taking action if she could not stand them.

She did not have much feelings for the Yan family, but the two deceased elders of the Yan Family treated her very well. They had never given up on looking for her.

If those two elders hadn't gone out to settle the Yan Family's financial problems when she and Yan Jinyun had been kidnapped back then, the Yan Family definitely wouldn't have just saved Yan Jinyun and not her.

Although the Yan Family could not withdraw so much money to pay the ransom, with the Yan family's connections, they should be able to borrow 100 million at that critical moment.

Hence, on account of the two elders, if possible, she didn't want to do anything to the Yan Family.

Of course, they were no longer family to her precisely because the Yan Family could clearly obtain the 100 million dollars ransom and yet her parents did not even give it a try.

She glanced at them and smiled innocently.. "Don't touch the yogurt I put in the fridge. Otherwise…"
