The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Lin Zimu, who was in the driver’s seat, almost hit the brakes again.

This girl was really daring.

Although that was the truth, the boss had never taken this betrothal seriously. If not for the old madam’s final wish, the boss would not have appeared here today.

However, the boss did not seem to have any intention of breaking it off.

So, it meant that the boss wanted to acknowledge this engagement?

The little fiancée of the boss was also a poor soul.

18 years ago, the Yan Family of the North City was very happy to have twin girls borned to their family. During the full month celebration, they had invited more than half of the rich and famous people in North City. Even some families in the capital had received invitations, including the Yin Family.

The occasion was extremely grand.

It was also during the full month banquet that the two old ladies decided on the engagement between their boss and the Yan Family’s eldest daughter.

Time passed quickly and two years passed.

The two daughters of the Yan family were clearly twins, but the difference was huge.

The elder daughter’s physique was good, but she still couldn’t speak at two years old. She was not liked by her parents. The second daughter’s physique was weak, but she was smart, cute, and lovable.

On their second birthday, their parents brought them to the amusement park to play and were targeted by the kidnappers.

The kidnappers wanted 200 million dollars as ransom. Coincidentally, the Yan family was short of funds and could not afford to pay such a large sum of money then. They only gave half of the ransom to redeem their second daughter. Since then, the Yan Family’s eldest daughter had disappeared.

In the beginning, the Yan family still sent people to search for her. However, as time passed, the Yan Family stopped searching for their eldest daughter, especially after the two elders of the Yan Family had passed away.

If not for the fact that the boss had promised the Old Madam to bring her back, the eldest daughter of the Yan Family would probably have to live a hard life in such a small place for the rest of her life.

However, even the boss took nearly three years to find her. In these three years, the boss had spent a lot of manpower and resources. If it was the Yan Family, they definitely would not be able to do it.

Thinking about it this way, it was not unreasonable for the Yan family to give up on finding their eldest daughter.

Now that the boss had found her, he had to send her to the Yan Family. He wondered how the Yan Family would react when they saw Yan Jinyu, who had been missing for 16 years and was unworldly because she grew up in the orphanage.

Ever since the two elders of the Yan Clan passed away, the Yan Clan and the Yin Clan hadn’t interacted much.

In recent years, although the boss had always been in North City, he rarely interacted with the Yan Family anymore. On the other hand, the Yan Family was increasingly shameless. When their eldest daughter couldn’t be found, they wanted to use their second daughter to fulfill the marriage contract and cling onto the Yin Family. Who did they take the boss to be? It was simply wishful thinking!

He had found her. However, he didn’t know if the young girl who grew up in the countryside would have a better life than her present one after she entered a wealthy family like the Yans.

***

Three hours later, the car arrived in the city.

There was only an airport in the city, and they had to take an hour and a half flight to reach North City.

The car stopped at a restaurant in the city that looked passable. Yin Jiujin glanced at the young girl who was still sleeping soundly beside him. “Get off.”

The two of them sat in the back seat. Yan Jinyu had slept for nearly two hours, but she didn’t even turn her head. She simply leaned against the back of the seat. Those who didn’t know better, would think that she was only resting with her eyes closed.

Of course, only she knew whether she was sleeping or resting.

Hearing Yin Jiujin’s voice, Yan Jinyu rubbed her eyes. She looked out of the car window and then looked at Yin Jiujin, “Where are we?”

In Yin Jiujin’s eyes, this dazed look made her appear carefree and naive.

How could she sleep so soundly when she was with a stranger? If she had met a bad person, she probably wouldn’t even know that she was being sold.

“City. Get out of the car and eat.”

“Eat? I didn’t realize before you said that. But now that you mention it, I’m really a little hungry. I woke up early in the morning and rushed back to town. I hadn’t even had breakfast.”

Yin Jiujin, who was about to open the car door, paused and turned to look at her darkly. “You didn’t eat breakfast?”

Yan Jinyu stared at him blankly, as though she didn’t know why he was suddenly angry. She nodded. “Mm-hm, I didn’t.”

“Why didn’t you tell me that you didn’t have breakfast?” If he hadn’t wanted to bring her to eat something first, would she have been starving all the way to North City?

It was almost two in the afternoon and she had not even eaten breakfast!

Yan Jinyu blinked her big eyes. “I just didn’t eat breakfast. I do this often. It’s not a big deal.”

“…” Yin Jiujin. Forget it. It wasn’t like he didn’t know how she had lived all these years. He just needed to take care of her more in the future.

He opened the car door and got out first.

Yan Jinyu also got out of the car. Looking at the bustling city, she couldn’t help but sigh. “So, this is how the city looks like.”

Yin Jiujin and Lin Zimu looked at her at the same time.

She had actually never even been to the city before. She looked like she had never seen the world before, which made them feel uncomfortable.

The Yan family could be considered as the largest family in North City. The eldest daughter of the Yan Family should have been pampered and adored since she was young. She should have the best food, clothing, and stuff. Yet, she was making such a fuss even when she was just entering a small city.

Lin Zimu didn’t dare to speak. Yin Jiujin glanced at Yan Jinyu in silence too.

They walked into the restaurant.

Yan Jinyu sat down first at a table for four. Lin Zimu cleverly sat down opposite her. In the end, Yin Jiujin and Yan Jinyu sat together.

Lin Zimu took the menu from the waiter and passed it to Yan Jinyu. “Miss Yan, please place the order.”

At that moment, Yan Jinyu’s eyes were still darting around. She looked very curious.

She retracted her gaze and said, “It’s fine. You guys can order. I’m not picky with food.”

“Give it to me.”

Lin Zimu didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the way his boss looked at him when he said those words were a little scary.

He quickly passed the menu over and then realized that it was a French restaurant. The menu probably did not have any Chinese characters.

Miss Yan had only studied till junior high school. It was already good enough that she could read Chinese. How could she understand French?

No wonder the boss looked at him with such a frightening gaze. Even he wanted to slap himself.

It was rare for him to find a decent restaurant in such a small place. He only took into consideration the exquisite life of his boss and forgot that there was a young girl here who had not seen the world.

It was one thing for him to choose the wrong restaurant, but he had actually handed over the menu to her just now. Wasn’t this deliberately making the young lady feel awkward?

Strangely enough, this Miss Yan, who had never seen much of the world, seemed to be very curious about everything. However, she did not seem to be embarrassed by her incompatibility with such a place.

This kind of temperament was rare. He had thought that girls who grew up in the countryside would be reserved when entering such high-end restaurants.

It was good to be more casual. This way, when she returned to the Yan family, she would not be seen as a joke in these small areas.

Yin Jiujin ordered a few dishes from the menu.

No one spoke during the meal.

When they were almost done eating, Yin Jiujin looked at Yan Jinyu, who had put down her cutlery. “You seem to be very familiar with this way of eating.”

Only then did Lin Zimu realize that during the entire meal, Yan Jinyu didn’t seem to feel uncomfortable at all. He didn’t feel anything was wrong earlier. But after his boss asked that question, he realized that something was amiss too.

There was also the dining etiquette. She ate very quickly but she wasn’t vulgar. She didn’t look like someone who had come to such restaurants for the very first time.
