Chapter 234 - Who’s Plotting Against Whom?
Chapter 234: Who’s Plotting Against Whom?
Yu Chen’s hand that was holding the steering wheel paused and she looked at her, “Second Young Master Min?”
Min Sisi smiled and nodded, “Yes, isn’t my second brother the Second Young Master of the Min Family? Sister Yu, should you have seen my second brother? You all work in the Imperial Capital Hospital.”
“Yes.”
“I heard from Daddy and Big Brother that Second Brother’s medical skills are actually very good. I wonder if it’s true?”
Meeting Yu Chen’s probing gaze, Min Sisi smiled embarrassedly, “Sister Yu, you also know that I study medicine, furthermore I’m taking Chinese medicine like Second Brother. I want to ask around and understand Second Brother more. If there are any problems in Chinese medicine in the future, I can ask him for help.”
“I’ve always heard that Sisi is a medical addict. I didn’t believe it, but now I do.” The others in the Min Family didn’t treat Min Rufeng as their family and had a very bad attitude towards Min Rufeng. She could understand that. After all, people from big families like them despised illegitimate children the most.
She used to look down on Min Rufeng too. It was only when she saw with her own eyes how Min Rufeng pulled a person who was declared hopeless by the hospital, back from the gates of hell that her attitude towards Min Rufeng changed.
Moreover, Min Rufeng’s temperament was completely not something an illegitimate son could have.
Min Nan became Min Rufeng’s foil whenever they stood together.
From then on, Min Rufeng became her target.
However, Min Rufeng…
Yu Chen frowned and retracted her thoughts.
She looked at Min Sisi.
She didn’t expect that Min Sisi was different from the rest of the Min Family and actually didn’t have any prejudice against Min Rufeng.
If Min Sisi had a good relationship with Min Rufeng and treated Min Rufeng as her brother, and her relationship with Min Rufeng was even closer than her biological brother, Min Nan…
Perhaps Min Sisi could help her.
“Second Young Master Min’s medical skills are indeed very good. Many seniors in the hospital say that they’re inferior to him. Not long ago, Second Young Master Min was the chief surgeon for a surgery. I was lucky to watch the entire process as an assistant.”
Hence, Yu Chen roughly described the surgery.
The more she spoke, the more excited she became. Her words were filled with admiration and adoration for Min Rufeng. She didn’t notice that Min Sisi’s expression had long changed and was no longer that obedient girl from before.
If Yu Chen looked at her now, she would definitely be frightened by her expression.
Yu Chen realized that he had said too much and was afraid that Min Sisi would see through her thoughts and have a bad impression of her, so she quickly stopped herself.
“…Second Young Master Min’s medical skills are really good. He’s indeed someone from the Min Family. He’s so young, but he already has such high attainments in medicine. I’ve long heard that Sisi not only got into the Imperial Capital University’s College of Medicine, but you’re also the number one in your major. I believe your future achievements will definitely not be inferior to Second Young Master Min.”
When she looked over, Min Sisi restrained her emotions and smiled embarrassedly, “Sister Yu, you’re flattering me.”
“After hearing what Sister Yu said, I realized that Second Brother is actually so outstanding. It seems like I have to build a good relationship with Second Brother so that I can ask him for guidance if I have any problems in the future. By the way, does Sister Yu know anything else about Second Brother? Can you tell me too?”
She pursed her lips and smiled bitterly, “Sister Yu, you also know that the relationship between my family and my Second Brother is a little… When Second Brother came back, I was in high school. I was busy with my studies and lived in school most of the time. I didn’t interact with Second Brother often. Then later on, I went to university. I have more free time now, but my relationship with Second Brother…”
“Perhaps, I was busy with my studies and didn’t interact much with Second Brother when he just came back, so we’re not close. I want to know more about Second Brother and understand him more. This will also make it easier for me to build a good relationship with him and ask him medical questions in the future.”
Seeing that she was asking sincerely as if she really had decided to build a good relationship with Min Rufeng, Yu Chen told her everything she knew about Min Rufeng.
Yu Chen was talking about incidents that would make people have a good impression of Min Rufeng.
Hearing that, Min Sisi sighed. “I didn’t expect my Second Brother to be so formidable. He received everyone’s recognition so quickly that even the old-fashioned shareholders in the Imperial Capital Hospital praised him.”
Seeing that Yu Chen was looking at her in surprise, Min Sisi’s gaze paused slightly and she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, “I’ve embarrassed myself in front of Sister Yu. My father often told me that those uncles and elders are all old-fashioned. I accidentally…”
Yu Chen retracted her surprise and said with a smile, “What’s wrong with that? Sister Yu isn’t an outsider. To put it bluntly, I actually feel that they’re very old-fashioned too.”
After saying that, they both smiled.
Both their smiles weren’t sincere.
“What Sister Yu said earlier seems to have all happened in the hospital. Does Sister Yu know about my Second Brother outside? For example, does he have a girlfriend?”
Indeed, Min Sisi saw Yu Chen’s expression change.
Although she recovered very quickly.
“I heard that my Second Brother has a good relationship with a bar owner. I wonder if it’s true?” Good relationship? What she knew was that Min Rufeng was Xi Fengling’s man.
Before Min Rufeng became famous, he was always under Xi Fengling’s protection.
In the past, she also thought that Min Rufeng was not bullied in the capital because of Xi Fengling. She only realized that something was wrong when Min Rufeng threatened Min Nan’s position as the heir of the Min Family.
Min Rufeng was definitely not simple, and Xi Fengling, who had that kind of relationship with Min Rufeng, was probably not simple either.
She knew very well what had happened to the Min Family recently. She also knew very well if Min Rufeng’s medical skills were good. She just wanted to get some information from Yu Chen and see if she could get anything more valuable.
Yu Chen seemed to have taken a fancy to Min Rufeng.
She didn’t care about these trivial matters, but if Yu Chen really got together with Min Rufeng, there would undoubtedly be another Yu Family behind Min Rufeng.
Although the Yu Family could not compare to the Min Family, their status in the capital was not low either.
She didn’t care who was in charge of the Min Family, but at least now, it was more beneficial for her for Min Nan to be in charge than Min Rufeng.
Of course, she had to help Min Nan when necessary.
Min Nan was also useless. He could not even deal with an illegitimate son, so he still had to trouble her.
“I’m not sure about that. However, the boss of Mei Feng Bar, Xi Fengling, is an enchanting and beautiful woman. She’s good looking and has a good figure. She’s the type that most men like. If Second Young Master Min really gets close to her, he must have been charmed by her.”
“Sister Yu, have you seen that Boss Xi?”
Min Sisi had never seen Xi Fengling before, even though she had heard of her name before.
In the past, she disdained to interact with such an unpresentable person. If Min Rufeng hadn’t suddenly become famous, she wouldn’t have wasted her leisure time to pay much attention to him.
“What Boss Xi? She’s just a vixen who uses her beauty to charm men! Otherwise, how could a young woman without any background have such a big business? In the capital, many descendants of influential families don’t dare to offend her.”
“I’ve never officially interacted with her before, but I’ve seen her from afar at Mei Feng Bar.” After she saw Min Rufeng in a different light, she wanted to see what kind of person this woman, who was rumored to have let Min Rufeng live off her, was.
Undeniably, she was jealous after seeing Xi Fengling.
She had always been confident about her looks, but Xi Fengling attracted everyone’s attention the moment she appeared.
Xi Fengling indeed had a foxy face, and her charm seemed to come from her bones. Not to mention men, even women would find it difficult to look away when they saw her.
She wanted to teach Xi Fengling a lesson and make her recognize her identity and not pester Min Rufeng, but she hesitated when she saw how strong her aura was, especially when many familiar young masters in the capital greeted Xi Fengling very politely.
Of course, she wasn’t afraid of Xi Fengling. It was just that she didn’t know what bargaining chip the other party had to make those usually flamboyant descendants treat her politely. Moreover, Mei Feng Bar was Xi Fengling’s territory. If she rushed over like that, she would be the one to suffer, so she didn’t act rashly.
After that, she was always very busy. Some time ago, she still had to go on a business trip to learn from others, so she didn’t have time to go to Mei Feng Bar to meet Xi Fengling again.
In reality, it wasn’t that Yu Chen didn’t have the time. It was just that after she saw Xi Fengling who had a strong presence, she was a little afraid and didn’t dare to look for her again.
“She’s indeed a very beautiful person,” Yu Chen said unwillingly with a sour tone.
“Hearing what Sister Yu said, I’m even more curious about her. Why don’t you bring me to Mei Feng Bar to take a look, Sister Yu?”
“Now?” Yu Chen didn’t expect her to suddenly say that and was a little surprised.
However, it suited her.
She heard that Min Rufeng had been staying with Xi Fengling for the past two days while he was on leave and so she couldn’t sit still anymore, but she didn’t dare to go alone.
Min Sisi nodded. “Yes, now.”
She could actually go alone, but she didn’t want to stand out too much and let others notice her.
Coincidentally, Yu Chen was a good target.
Yu Chen was about to agree when her phone rang.
She smiled apologetically at Min Sisi and answered the call, “Dad.”
“Yes, I’m on leave today.”
“Go home?”
“Cousin? When did I have a cousin? The Luo Family in North City? But didn’t my aunt die without a child?”
Yu Chen frowned and said, “Alright, she’s at the Yu Family’s residence? Alone?”
“Second Young Master of the Luo Family? Is he Luo Wanhong’s younger brother’s son?”
“Alright, I understand. I’ll be right back.”
After hanging up, Yu Chen said to Min Sisi, “I’m sorry, Sisi. There’s suddenly a guest at home. I’m afraid I won’t be able to go today. Leave me your phone number. I’ll ask you out another day. How about that?”
“Alright, Sister Yu, if you have something to do, go ahead.”
As they exchanged phone numbers, Min Sisi asked casually, “Sister Yu, I heard you say that your cousin is from the Luo Family in North City. Is she from the Luo Family that your aunt married into?”
“Yes, my father said that the eldest daughter of the Luo Family is actually my aunt’s daughter. This matter is a little complicated. I’ll tell you in detail next time.”
“Okay.”
Then, Min Sisi smiled and said, “Sister Yu, I heard you mention the Second Young Master of the Luo Family just now. Could it be that the Second Young Master of the Luo Family came to the capital with your cousin?”
“Yes, why are you suddenly asking?”
Yu Chen was a little puzzled. “Do you know the Second Young Master of the Luo Family?”
Min Sisi smiled and shook her head. “How’s that possible? It’s just that I have a classmate who’s from North City and her family also has some status in North City. Not long ago, she heard about the Luo Family. She casually gossiped with me so I also know a little about the Luo Family. I heard that not only does the Second Young Master of the Luo Family not have the intention of seizing power, but he also helps the eldest daughter of the Luo Family.”
“It’s precisely because of Second Young Master Luo’s help that the eldest daughter of the Luo Family could take over the Luo Family so quickly and make the Luo Family’s business quickly get on track. I can’t help but be interested in Second Young Master Luo.”
“Sister Yu, you know that in a big family, not to mention cousins, even biological siblings can turn against each other for the sake of seizing assets. I just think that it’s very rare for Second Young Master Luo to not only not seize power, but also help his cousin seize power.”
“Indeed.”
“However, I’ve heard that the son of the Luo Family’s second branch is a hedonistic son. He probably doesn’t care about the family business.”
“However, from what you’re saying, since he has the ability to help Luo Qiu seize power, it’s hard to say if he’s a hedonistic son. I’m not very sure about the Luo Family. Ever since Aunt passed away, our family has no contact with the Luo Family anymore.”
Looking at Min Sisi, a scheming look suddenly flashed past Yu Chen’s eyes. “However, if you’re really interested in him, let me understand the situation and bring him out to show you in two days?”
“This… There’s no need for that. Sister Yu, I simply heard from my classmate and I think this person is interesting. Hearing you mention him, I just said a few words casually.”
“It’s just a meeting. What’s wrong with that? Besides, I’m the youngest in our family. My cousin has come to the capital, so my father probably wants me to be responsible for bringing them around the capital. When the time comes, I can also call them to go to Mei Feng together. I don’t go to places like bars often, so I’m not very familiar with them. I heard that the son of the second branch of the Luo Family knows how to play. It seems like it’s not a bad idea to bring him along.”
“Sister Yu, you’re right. You don’t go to bars often, and I don’t go often either. It’s safer to go with a boy.”
“Then, Sister Yu, you can make the arrangements. I’m not busy recently and I’m free anytime. Just call me when you’re done.”
“Okay.”
Yu Chen was very happy to have achieved her objective.
She had the intention of currying favor with Min Sisi. Since Min Sisi was interested in the son of the Luo Family’s second branch, if she could matchmake them…
Although she had never seen her cousin in all these years and didn’t even know the name of the second son of the Luo Family, the two families were in-laws and could barely be considered as family.
If Min Sisi had something going on with the son of the Luo Family’s second branch, why wouldn’t she side with her?
This was Yu Chen’s plan.
However, she did not know that Min Sisi smiled disdainfully when Yu Chen could not see her.
Idiot. She still wanted to scheme against her.
Who exactly was scheming against whom?
There was Luo Yikun in the Luo Family in North City.
She knew that.
Although she had never seen Luo Yikun before.
***
In the evening, at the Mount West Villa.
The few people who were looking for trouble at the Empire Mall had already been brought to the interrogation room of the Mount West Villa with their eyes covered.
After Yan Jinyu and Qin Jianjia finished shopping, Qin Jianjia personally drove her to the Mount West Villa before going back, so Yan Jinyu didn’t come back with Yin Jiujin.
However, Yin Jiujin returned soon after she returned to Mount West Villa.
Yin Jiujin had already roughly understood the situation. He had called Yan Jinyu the moment he received the news. When he heard Yan Jinyu’s voice, his slightly panicked heart finally relaxed.
Even though he knew that Yan Jinyu would be fine with her skills, Yin Jiujin couldn’t help but worry.
Seeing Yin Jiujin, Yan Jinyu, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up and ran towards him. She gave him a big hug. “Brother Nine, you’re back.”
Yin Jiujin held her with one hand and rubbed the top of her head with the other. “Yes, I’m back.”
“Did you have fun today?”
“Yes, I’m very happy. I ate a lot of delicious food.”
Yin Jiujin raised his hand and pinched her face. “You’re too thin. You should eat more.”
“Those people have been brought to the interrogation room. Shall we go take a look now?”
Yan Jinyu nodded. “Mm-hm. I wanted to go by myself, but after thinking about it, I decided to wait for Brother Nine to come back before going together.”
Yin Jiujin frowned slightly. “Because it’s my place. You didn’t want to go alone?”
She was obviously unhappy. Yan Jinyu was a little helpless. She held his arm. To be precise, she hugged his arm with both hands. “Brother Nine, what are you talking about? I’m afraid that I won’t be able to control myself well during the interrogation. You don’t have the chance to hear what those people say, so I wanted to wait for you to come along.”
Yin Jiujin’s expression softened slightly as he flicked her forehead. “That’s more like it. I thought you treated yourself as an outsider.” She treated herself as an outsider, so she didn’t act alone in his territory.
“However, Little Yu’er, are you that ruthless?”
Little Yu’er…
Yan Jinyu was still not used to this form of address.
However, compared to “baby”…
Forget it. She would get used to it slowly. Just like how she was not used to pink clothes in the past, and wasn’t most of her clothes pink now?
It was fine to indulge her.
Yan Jinyu glanced at him. “I’m a killer. I’m very cruel to begin with.”
Yin Jiujin chuckled.
He couldn’t tell.
She was clearly a bright and protective young lady. Sometimes, she was very sensitive and could be easily hurt by people she cared about. Sometimes, she was silly and unguarded.
She wasn’t like the killers he knew at all.
It was even less like the number one killer “Chi”, in his imagination.
The two of them walked towards the interrogation room arm in arm.
