Chapter 112 - Jinyu Misunderstood
Chapter 112: Jinyu Misunderstood
Xu Xiaoxiao was shocked. She was afraid that she would anger Yin Jiujin even more, so she hurriedly looked at Yan Jinyu and hid the unwillingness in her eyes. “Eldest Miss Yan, I’m sorry. I didn’t know my limits. Please don’t take it to heart on account that I only have evil intentions and don’t have the guts to do anything.”
Actually, Yan Jinyu didn’t have the energy to care about a small fry like Xu Xiaoxiao. If Xu Xiaoxiao really offended her, she would just deal with her directly.
What she minded was that Xu Xiaoxiao actually wanted to find Yan Jinyun to work with her to scheme against her.
How was this different from bewitching Yan Jinyun?
Fortunately, Yan Jinyun was already past the age where she could be easily bewitched and she was relatively mature. Otherwise, wouldn’t she be led astray by Xu Xiaoxiao?
Parents hated their children to make friends with people who had bad morals the most. This was how she looked at Xu Xiaoxiao now.
Moreover, she realized that Yan Jinyun seemed to dislike Xu Xiaoxiao very much.
As for why she didn’t like her…
That was not important.
Since Yan Jinyun didn’t like hert and Xu Xiaoxiao was indeed an eyesore, she would settle it once and for all.
After all, Xu Xiaoxiao was someone who had designs on her.
“Send her overseas,” Yan Jinyu said to Xu Gui.
Xu Gui was stunned and heaved a sigh of relief. This was already the best outcome. If Master Nine were to speak, this matter would not end so easily.
Just as she was about to reply, she saw Xu Xiaoxiao looking at Yan Jinyu with wide eyes in disbelief, “Send me overseas? What right do you have to send me overseas?! I’ve already apologized!”
Hearing that, Yan Jinyu lowered her eyes and looked at her with a faint smile. “Or you don’t want to leave this restaurant?”
She was clearly smiling, but when Xu Xiaoxiao met her eyes, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
She was so shocked that she was speechless for a long time.
Xu Gui had already pulled her up when she reacted. “I’m sorry. The Xu Family will definitely do as Eldest Miss Yan says. I’ll bring her back first. Excuse me.”
Xu Gui was tall. He wanted to pull Xu Xiaoxiao away, so Xu Xiaoxiao could not resist at all.
“Tsk, she got lucky.” With that said, Huo Siyu tactfully took her share of steak and sat inside, making way for Yin Jiujin.
Lucky?
The restaurant manager didn’t dare to say anything.
In his opinion, it was already bad enough that that lady was slapped twice. Now, she was even sent overseas.
Offending Miss Yan was equal to offending Master Nine.
After offending Master Nine, she would undoubtedly be exiled by her family. It would probably be difficult for her to return home if she was sent overseas.
Yan Jinyu sat in the middle, and Yin Jiujin sat down beside her. The manager quickly retracted his thoughts, took the menu, and handed it over respectfully. “Master Nine, this is the menu. Please order.”
Yin Jiujin took it and handed it to Yan Jinyu. “Order for me.”
Yan Jinyu looked at him in confusion, “But I don’t know what flavor you like.”
“Open the menu and I’ll show you. You’ll know next time.”
Looking at him, Yan Jinyu smiled and took the menu. “Alright.” He was still playing tricks with her. Did he think that she couldn’t tell?
However, she had to pretend that she didn’t see it.
It was fine to indulge someone she had set her mind on.
However, the three people present who saw their interaction felt complicated.
Who would have thought that Master Nine was like this in front of Yan Jinyu? Also, Yan Jinyu could beat a person half to death with a smile on her face. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, who would be able to associate her with the person who was beating a man up?
Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin didn’t care what they were thinking. Yan Jinyu opened the menu. “Which one do you like?”
Yin Jiujin’s slender fingers landed on the menu. “This one. Well-done.” He had the intention of making her remember his preferences bit by bit, so he wasn’t pointing it out randomly.
Of course, Yan Jinyu would remember it.
Since the manager had personally received them, his meal was naturally delivered the fastest.
However, even if it was fast, it would still take a few minutes.
While waiting, Yin Jiujin simply supported his chin and turned to look at Yan Jinyu. His other hand had already wrapped around Yan Jinyu’s waist.
Yan Jinyu didn’t say anything, nor did she take his hand away. She just let him be.
He moved his gaze away from her exquisite face and turned to the steak that she was focused on cutting.
The steak was cut in half. Her knife skills were very good, and the cut steak was almost the same size.
Yin Jiujin’s eyes flickered when he saw this.
“Do you want me to help you?” he asked.
Yan Jinyu looked up, her round eyes smiling. “There’s no need to.” She actually sensed his sizing her up.
“You might have to wait for a while longer for the meal you ordered. Do you want to try one piece first?” Although she was asking him, the fork in her left hand had already moved to his lips.
Yin Jiujin stared at her face before the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He opened his mouth and ate the steak that she handed over.
He had always preferred well-done steaks, and this was the first time he had eaten a medium-well one. It was also a flavor that he didn’t like, but he felt that it was even more delicious than the steaks he had eaten in the past.
“How does it taste?”
“Very good.”
Yan Jinyu smiled and put a piece into her mouth with the fork. “I like this steak’s flavor the most. Brother Nine, don’t forget about it.”
Yin Jiujin’s hand on her waist paused. “Mm-hm.” His lips curled into a doting smile.
The three people who had witnessed this scene lowered their heads together and ate their food.
The two big shots sat together with pink bubbles around them…
Really. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, it would have been hard to imagine.
If not for their good mental fortitude, the knives and forks in their hands would have dropped from shock.
Fortunately, the two of them didn’t get tired of each other. After Yan Jinyu fed him, Yin Jiujin’s food arrived.
“Where did you all go to play today?” Yin Jiujin asked Yan Jinyu.
Huo Siyu stopped eating, and Yan Jinyu said without changing her expression, “I wandered around North City’s downtown. I didn’t go far.”
“Are you still going out tomorrow?” She glanced at Huo Siyu.
Huo Siyu saw a hint of hostility in Yin Jiujin’s eyes.
She was stunned.
She did not understand where his hostility came from. She did not seem to have provoked him, right?
Yin Jiujin retracted his gaze when he wanted to probe further.
“I think so. Little Rain is still in North City. I promised to accompany her during this period of time.”
When Yin Jiujin heard that, his expression was a little incomprehensible. He looked at Huo Siyu and said calmly, “I heard that Miss Huo is in her first year of university?”
Huo Siyu’s lips twitched. She was in her first year of university, but what did it have to do with him? Besides, who was Yin Jiujin? Why would he care which grade she was in? Not to mention that she wasn’t familiar with Yin Jiujin, even if she was, with Yin Jiujin’s personality, he wouldn’t care much about her, right?
Huo Siyu wasn’t stupid. On the contrary, she was very clear about the situation. Yin Jiujin had been acting abnormally and was faintly targeting her. How could she not guess the reason?
He was actually unhappy that she was occupying Beauty Yu’s time.
Fine, if he was unhappy, so be it. However, he did not show it even though he was unhappy. Instead, he was always shooting eye daggers at her stealthily.
She didn’t expect Master Nine to be such a coquettish person.
However, his actions showed that he really cared about Beauty Yu.
This was good.
“Yes, at the Imperial Capital University.”
“What’s your major, Miss Huo?”
The other three people raised their heads and looked at Yin Jiujin with surprise in their eyes, including Yan Jinyu.
However, Feng Yuan and Yan Jinyun were surprised because Yin Jiujin was very different from their understanding. Yan Jinyu was surprised because she thought that Yin Jiujin had even suspected Huo Siyu.
However, she couldn’t think of a reason why Yin Jiujin suspected Huo Siyu.
After all, Yin Jiujin wasn’t someone who cared about others.
Was he helping Young Master Qin to find out?
At the thought of this, Yan Jinyu lowered her eyes slightly to hide the emotions in them.
Hopefully, Young Master Qin would not harm Little Rain even if he knew about her identity. Otherwise…
There was also Yin Jiujin. If he really was helping the eldest son of the Qin Family to find out about Little Rain’s background… She wouldn’t do anything, but she would still feel uncomfortable.
Yan Jinyu looked up at Yin Jiujin and smiled. “Brother Nine, why are you asking Little Rain about this?”
Seeing her smile, Yin Jiujin’s heart skipped a beat.
Her smile did not reach her eyes. She was obviously unhappy.
She was unhappy with him, and she was unhappy with him because of Huo Siyu…
She was obviously unhappy because she had misunderstood his intention when he asked Huo Siyu about this.
In other words, she did not trust him enough.
Or rather, she did not trust him at all.
Huo Siyu’s heart skipped a beat. She knew Beauty Yu the best here.
At a glance, she knew that Beauty Yu had misunderstood Yin Jiujin.
She hurriedly said, “Beauty Yu, I think Second Young Master Yin must be curious about my major.Is it because I don’t have enough classes that’s why I can take so many days off to come to North City to play?”
“Didn’t you agree to accompany me in North City for the past few days? Second Young Master Yin has been busy since he brought you back to North City. He only returned to North City recently, so naturally, he wanted to spend more time with you. However, your time was occupied by me. Second Young Master Yin is blaming me.”
“Am I right, Second Young Master Yin?”
Yin Jiujin didn’t reply and just stared at Yan Jinyu.
With Yan Jinyu’s intellect, how could she not know that she had misunderstood Yin Jiujin when Huo Siyu had already made it so clear?
Looking at his confused eyes, Yan Jinyu’s grip on the cutlery tightened, “Brother Nine, I…”
Yin Jiujin retracted his gaze and interrupted her. “Eat quickly. The food is getting cold.” His tone was faint, and no emotions could be detected.
