Chapter 141 - Master Nine’s Double Standards
Chapter 141: Master Nine’s Double Standards
What they saw was Yin Jiujin glancing at Xi Fengling indifferently and saying in an ambiguous tone, “You’re the same too.”
What was the same?
It couldn’t be that he had also heard of Xi Fengling before, right?
Min Ting was stunned, and Qin Bailu was even more stunned. At the same time, she hated Xi Fengling even more.
She was so slutty that she would only use such a seductive attitude to attract men’s attention! Although the Second Young Master of the Min Family didn’t have any real power, he was still a gentle and elegant handsome man and he was actually charmed by her. That wasn’t all, even Master Nine was so polite to her!
Qin Bailu’s understanding of this was right. Although Yin Jiujin’s expression was calm and his tone wasn’t very warm, his attitude was indeed very good to have responded to Xi Fengling like this.
Few people could get a response from Master Nine, who was cold and distant, especially when Xi Fengling had spoken in such a teasing tone.
Even Min Ting thought that Yin Jiujin would be angry. It was no wonder that Qin Bailu’s hostility towards Xi Fengling increased.
After learning that Yan Jinyu knew her and had personally gotten someone to send an invitation to the person in charge of Elegant Bamboo Clubhouse, Zhao Kun, Yin Jiujin got someone to investigate the relationship between Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling.
They were not investigating their backgrounds, but their connections.
If Xi Fengling really had something to do with Yan Jinyu, he would have to investigate before he could be at ease.
Of course, nothing was found.
However, after knowing that Yan Jinyu was the number one killer, “Chi”, he had guessed the identities of Xi Fengling and Huo Siyu. Yin Jiujin had even roughly guessed who “Feng” was.
In the capital, almost everyone knew about Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling’s relationship.
Even Yin Jiujin was told “Min Rufeng’s lover” when he heard Min Ting mention “Xi Fengling” for the first time.
Before he saw Xi Fengling, Yin Jiujin was still a little worried. Now that he saw her, he wasn’t so worried anymore.
He saw Xi Fengling throwing the cigarette away in a panic.
The reason why Xi Fengling was flustered and anxious was because she had seen his girl.
They were all people ranked at the top of the Assassin Ranking and were definitely ruthless figures. It was usually very difficult for such people to really trust anyone. If she didn’t really treat the other party as one of her own and cared about the other party very much, why would the second-ranked killer in the killer world, “Mei”, be so panicked when she was seen smoking?.
Since she was someone who really cared about the young lady and was also one of her “partners”, so what if he treated her better?
To be able to get the young lady to call them “partners”, they must have experienced a lot of hardships together. Perhaps, when he was not around, these “partners” had even saved the young lady before.
They were all smart people so Xi Fengling raised her eyebrows at Yin Jiujin’s behavior.
She naturally knew that Yin Jiujin had sent someone to investigate her. She also knew that Yin Jiujin couldn’t find anything.
However, Beauty Yu had sent them news a few days ago that Yin Jiujin already knew her identity. They had long known that Beauty Yu was always by Yin Jiujin’s side. It was only a matter of time before her identity was exposed, so they weren’t very surprised.
They were surprised that Beauty Yu had remained by Yin Jiujin’s side after her identity was exposed. She had definitely acknowledged Yin Jiujin.
While she was happy for Beauty Yu, she was also naturally a little worried. She wanted to see Yin Jiujin with her own eyes before she could feel at ease.
Hence, she used the excuse of Min Ting finding trouble for “Elegant Bamboo” and that she had to come to North City to settle it personally.
Since Yin Jiujin knew Beauty Yu’s identity, he had definitely guessed theirs too.
She didn’t think that someone like Yin Jiujin would treat them differently because of their status in the killer world.
He must have treated her like this because of Beauty Yu.
In other words, he had become kinder to her “family” because of his feelings for Beauty Yu.
She was afraid that Beauty Yu would be deceived by others because she was young and had never experienced love, especially when the other party was an unfathomable person like Yin Jiujin.
Now, she was finally relieved.
“You flatter me. I’m just a small fry who runs a small business to earn a living. I don’t deserve Master Nine calling me ‘the same’.”
As she spoke, Xi Fengling’s gaze turned to Yan Jinyu. “This must be Master Nine’s fiancée, the eldest daughter of the Yan Family in North City, Yan Jinyu, right? She’s quite the beauty.”
“My name is Xi Fengling, the boss of the “Mei Feng Bar” in the capital. The clubhouse in North City called” Elegant Bamboo “is also mine.”
Yan Jinyu smiled. “I know the person in charge of Elegant Bamboo Clubhouse, Zhao Kun. He helped me out some time ago. I even gave him an invitation to the Yan Family’s banquet on my birthday.”
“So you’re Elegant Bamboo’s boss.”
“In that case, you’re almost considered as one of our own.”
“However, please don’t call me ‘beauty’. You’re the one who’s really beautiful. Especially your smoking posture earlier. It’s extremely charming and seductive.”
Xi Fengling’s lips twitched after hearing her words.
She knew it! She just knew it!
Beauty Yu must have held a grudge. She remembered how she used to nag at her when she drank yogurt and how she kept staring at the money flow on her card. Once she found out that she bought more yogurt, she nagged again…
It was a pity that she had always avoided Beauty Yu when she smoked. Now, she was caught red-handed. Look at Beauty Yu’s tone. Those who didn’t know better would think that she was mocking her!
Actually, Beauty Yu was “taking revenge” on her!
Vengeful!
“Y-yes. You’re too kind. I’m just so-so.”
Seeing this, Min Ting and Qin Bailu, who were completely unaware, were the most taken aback.
This was especially so for Min Ting, who had interacted with Xi Fengling many times. He knew very well what kind of personality Xi Fengling had. She was charming and seductive but she ruled with iron fist methods. Usually, the more charming she smiled, the more unlucky the person who offended her would be.
When did he ever see her so… afraid before?
Was she afraid? If he was correct.
He had also interacted with this eldest daughter of the Yan Family once before, so he didn’t think that she was someone who knew how to “mock” people.
Could it be that they had some enmity before?
However, it didn’t look like it. Was Xi Fengling the kind of person who would be afraid in front of her enemy?
Min Ting thought that the two of them might have had a feud before. He knew that Yan Jinyu definitely wasn’t as simple as she looked on the surface. He had seen the surveillance video of her race.
It was possible that Yan Jinyu had interacted with Xi Fengling in the past.
If Second Brother hadn’t told him not to interfere, he would have investigated Yan Jinyu’s background long ago. Now, he was extremely curious.
After being treated so disrespectfully by Xi Fengling, the jealousy and hatred in Qin Bailu’s heart grew even stronger when she saw Yan Jinyu now.
She was just the daughter of a small family in North City. What kind of magic did she have that could make these people treat her so differently!
She could always find another chance to kill her!
However, she wasn’t in a hurry to make a move yet. She had never been able to ignore what Qiu Jian said that day about her being used as a tool as well. However, after thinking about it carefully, she didn’t find anything unusual.
Other than her, only her mother and Qiu Jian knew that she hired assassins to kill Yan Jinyu. How could she be used by others?
Later on, she went to ask Qiu Jian about it. Other than laughing and cursing, Qiu Jian didn’t say anything useful. She was like a crazy person.
After that, she never looked for Qiu Jian again.
Looking at Xi Fengling and then at Yan Jinyu, Min Ting restrained the surprise in his heart, “Second Brother, Eldest Miss Yan, sit over here please.”
As the two of them sat down, Min Ting glanced at Yin Jiujin and said nervously, “These two are Second Miss Qin and Boss Xi Fengling.”
“I happened to meet Second Miss Qin on the way when I came over. After greeting her, Second Miss Qin found out that I had booked a place for lunch. She said that she was alone and would be eating alone. She asked me if I would mind eating with her, so… we came together.”
In other words, he didn’t invite her. Qin Bailu had shamelessly followed him here. However, since the Qin and Min families were in the same circle, he couldn’t reject her.
“As for Boss Xi, I met her in the hall of this restaurant. Boss Xi is also alone. She asked me to share a table with her. I thought we all knew each other, so I agreed.”
Of course, it was not entirely because of this.
It was obvious that his Elegant Bamboo’s exclusive private room had been tampered with. He had already secretly caused some trouble for Elegant Bamboo, and Xi Fengling, the boss behind Elegant Bamboo, happened to appear in front of him at this moment and ask to share a table. There must be something going on!
Xi Fengling wasn’t the kind of person who would share a table with someone.
He wanted to see what she was up to, so he agreed.
However, after Xi Fengling entered the private room, she sat there obediently and smoked. She didn’t do anything unusual.
“I was about to call to inform Second Brother in advance when you and Miss Yan came.” This was the truth. He was indeed about to take out his phone when he saw the waiter push open the door.
Yin Jiujin glanced at him indifferently, and Min Ting’s body stiffened.
He knew that Second Brother would be angry.
Not to mention that Second Brother would be angry because two outsiders had appeared in the private room when he asked Second Brother out to discuss matters. Second Brother had never liked to eat with people he didn’t know, so it was normal for him to be angry now that there were outsiders present.
It was fine with Xi Fengling. After all, she was someone important and was someone close to Min Rufeng. It was understandable that he agreed to her abnormal request to share a table.
However, Qin Bailu…
She was indeed considered an outsider.
Yin Jiujin glanced at him and didn’t talk too much about this topic. “Get the waiter to order.”
Min Ting was surprised when he lowered his head and asked Yan Jinyu softly, “Are you hungry?”
“…” Min Ting was speechless. He was so cold to him, but so gentle and caring to Yan Jinyu. This difference in treatment!
Yin Jiujin sat on the seat facing the door of the private room. Yan Jinyu sat on his left, and Min Ting sat on his right. Next to Min Ting was Qin Bailu, and next to Qin Bailu was Xi Fengling.
It was a round table, so Xi Fengling was on Yan Jinyu’s left.
Yan Jinyu smiled and said, “I’m not really hungry.”
Yin Jiujin reached out to take the menu from the waiter. “Order whatever you want to eat.”
Yan Jinyu was about to say that she was fine with anything he ordered. However, Xi Fengling, who was smiling charmingly at them, suddenly said, “There are more ladies here than just the little beauty, but Master Nine only gave her the menu. Aren’t you being too biased?”
Yin Jiujin looked up coldly. Before he could show his displeasure, he saw Xi Fengling say with a smile, “Of the three ladies here, I’m obviously the oldest. Why don’t we go from oldest to youngest?”
Most women hated others to talk about their age, but Xi Fengling said that she was the oldest. Even though that was the truth, Min Ting and Qin Bailu still looked at her strangely.
Just as they thought Yin Jiujin would be angered, they saw Yin Jiujin take a deep look at Xi Fengling and hand over the menu.
Never mind about that. He even said one word, “Please.”
Min Ting’s jaw almost dropped while Qin Bailu stared at Xi Fengling with hostility.
Only Yan Jinyu looked at Yin Jiujin with a smile that was not only pure but also gentle.
Ever since she moved to Mount Jing, she had basically been eating with Yin Jiujin. She didn’t say anything when she ate at home. Whenever she ate outside, he would first ask her what she wanted to eat before giving her the menu. However, almost every time, she would say that she was fine with anything and just let him order as he pleased.
After she said that a few times, Yin Jiujin’s mood clearly wasn’t right so she casually glanced at the menu and ordered a few.
She was right. She wasn’t picky with food and could indeed eat anything. However, she would always pick up a few more bites among some of the food.
She couldn’t remember, but Meimei, Feng and Little Rain could.
Yin Jiujin had probably thought of this when he handed the menu to Meimei.
Actually, it wasn’t that Yan Jinyu couldn’t remember what she liked to eat. She was just too lazy to choose from those dishes on the menu. If it was a single restaurant or a simple menu, she would still order what she liked. For example, when she went to eat steak last time, she had ordered what she liked.
Although Min Ting was shocked, he could still tell that Yin Jiujin had an exceptionally “good temper” towards Xi Fengling.
