Chapter 350: Courting Death
“Beauty Yu…” Her voice sounded like she was about to cry.
“Meimei, I’ll be taking the college entrance examination in a month. After I’m done, I’ll accompany you to the Feng Family.” Yan Jinyu didn’t waste her breath and went straight to the point.
On the other side, Xi Fengling, who was curled up on the sofa, was stunned when she heard Yan Jinyu’s words. Then, her heart tightened.
“Beauty Yu, I…”
“I don’t know if I want to see them now. The information that Min Rufeng found out is that Feng Qing’s illegitimate daughter, Feng Xiangxiang, lived in Water City back then and indeed married someone. As for who she married, I don’t know, but the hospital has her birth records. Before she gave birth to Feng Qin, she did have a child. However, for some reason, that child is gone.”
“The people in Feng Xiangxiang’s neighborhood at that time all said that the child died early.”
“Feng Xiangxiang’s husband had never been seen in her neighborhood. They said that he’s been out working.”
“Min Rufeng has done everything that needs to be done. He found Feng Xiangxiang’s hair and did a DNA test with me. We’re indeed mother and daughter.”
“Beauty Yu, I really want to ask them why they abandoned me back then, but I don’t really want to see them. It’s been so many years. Since they didn’t look for me, they must have forgotten about me long ago. I’m also living very well now. There’s no need to go…”
“Meimei,” Yan Jinyu interrupted her.
“Why are you lying to yourself?”
“Others might not know if you want to see them, but how can I not know?”
“Even if you don’t acknowledge each other, you have to find out the truth about what happened back then. Isn’t that what you think?”
“A timid Meimei is not the Meimei I know.”
Xi Fengling was silent, and Yan Jinyu softened her tone, “Even if I didn’t investigate, judging from Feng Qin’s current situation, I can guess that the mother and daughter definitely did not have a good time in the Feng Family.”
“Meimei, I just don’t want you to regret it in the future.”
After a long while, Xi Fengling said, “Beauty Yu, you’re so talkative today.”
“…” Yan Jinyu. It seemed like she had recovered from the teasing.
“Shall I accompany you to the Feng Family after my college entrance examination?”
“Mm-hm.”
“Beauty Yu, you’re becoming more and more like a student. You keep mentioning the college entrance examination. How comforting.”
“I’m hanging up. It’s time for my exam.”
“Go, go. Beauty Yu, do your best. After the college entrance examination, I’ll buy a gift for you as a reward.” After saying that, she quickly hung up. She was a coward.
Yan Jinyu put away her phone speechlessly and returned to the classroom to start her exam.
After Bo Lang saw that the test paper was handed out, Yan Jinyu started to do the test paper. Not only did she do the multiple choice questions for the Chinese test paper, but she even wrote the essay.
Although she was very fast, she did everything.
She finished the test paper faster than him within half an hour.
Bo Lang’s eyelids twitched.
He had a feeling that he was about to be toppled from the top position in the cohort.
This was the second last mock test. After this test and another one, the college entrance examination would be next.
For some reason, Bo Lang, who was toppled at the last moment, felt an inexplicable sense of danger even though he clearly didn’t care much about results.
As soon as he sensed danger, he was 20 minutes slower than usual.
He did a more thorough examination.
How could he have checked the test papers in the past? He had always done it correctly once.
After finishing the test paper, Yan Jinyu propped her chin up and stared blankly out of the window. She didn’t care about Bo Lang at all, even though she had long sensed that the way Bo Lang looked at her was getting stranger and stranger.
At the same time, Xi Fengling, who had hung up, was pulled into Min Rufeng’s arms.
He had almost heard all their conversations on the phone.
“I’ll go with you too.”
“There’s no need for that…”
Min Rufeng smiled gently at her. Xi Fengling quickly said, “Don’t be anxious. Wait for me to finish.”
“You’re the head of the Min Family now, so you have a lot of face. If you go to the Feng Family with us, you’ll be too big a target. The Feng Family will have a lot more concerns and it won’t be beneficial to us.”
“Let me go with Beauty Yu. As Feng Qin’s friend, didn’t you say that you got the news from Beauty Yu and Beauty Yu only suspected her after seeing Feng Qin?”
“Beauty Yu should have met Feng Qin.”
“You said that Feng Qin and Third Young Master Min…”
“I want to meet Feng Qin first. You can mention it to Third Young Master Min. I just want to meet her casually. I don’t want her to know about my relationship with her for the time being.”
Min Rufeng had investigated carefully for so long. Of course, he had even found out about Feng Qin and Min Ting’s relationship.
Xi Fengling naturally knew too.
“Yes, I’ll arrange it.”
“Don’t think too much. It’s always good to look for her, right?”
Xi Fengling pursed her lips and said nothing.
She had searched for them for so many years without any leads and had given up on searching. However, she suddenly had a clue and even found them. It was indeed very good.
“In that case, Bai Ye and I… which is Feng Yun, aren’t we cousins?” Xi Fengling suddenly thought of this.
“Yes.”
“Then we’re really fated.”
Min Rufeng agreed too.
Who would have thought that after all the twists and turns, all of them were actually related?
Xi Fengling suddenly pulled out of Min Rufeng’s arms and stared at him. “Speaking of which, Min Rufeng, you secretly investigated this matter behind my back. I haven’t settled the score with you yet.”
“It’s my fault. I’ll compensate you now.”
Before Xi Fengling could react, he pushed her down onto the sofa.
His lips landed on hers.
Xi Fengling cursed inwardly.
Screw the compensation! He’s clearly thinking for himself!
It was supposed to be her who was angry, but why did it seem like he was the one who was angry instead? This damn man did not even look at the situation and was so vengeful. Didn’t she just not let him touch her last night?
In reality, Xi Fengling was really thinking too much this time.
It was true that Min Rufeng wanted to get close to her, but this time, he really just wanted to use this to divert her attention and make her stop thinking about those annoying things.
This was Min Rufeng’s way of comforting her.

After the test, the results were also released on Friday afternoon.
Once the results were out, be it the people who personally went to the noticeboard to look at the results, or the people who found out about the results on the forums, the way they looked at Yan Jinyu was a little more strange than before.
“Jinyu, your results…” Tan Shiyun turned back. She was holding her phone and browsing the school forum when she saw someone discussing the results of the Year Three’s mock test.
She handed the phone to Yan Jinyu. “Look at this.”
Yan Jinyu looked up from the silent television.
Yes, she was watching a silent television.
Knowing that she always wore earphones to watch television, Yin Jiujin told her not to watch television like this as the earphones could hurt her ears. Hence, she started watching the silent television.
Anyway, with the subtitles, she would understand.
He glanced at Tan Shiyun’s phone screen. It was a photo on the notice board. The results of the Year Three’s mock exam were posted on the notice board.
The top name was her.
Second place, Bo Lang
Third place, Luo Yikun.
Fourth place, Yan Jinyun.
Fifth place, Tan Shiyun.
Sixth place, Yuan Xi.
The first was her, which was within her expectations. However, Luo Yikun surprised her.
Was he finally not a good-for-nothing student anymore?
“You’re the top student in the cohort!” Although she knew that with Yan Jinyu’s identity, this wasn’t something to be shocked about, Tan Shiyun still couldn’t help but be shocked.
Tan Shiyun was already so flustered, let alone the others.
Tan Shiyun’s voice was not soft. In addition, many people already knew about this and were looking at them. Hence, they could hear Tan Shiyun’s words clearly.
“The number one in the cohort. Who knows if she had copied the answers!” This voice wasn’t loud. Since everyone was paying attention to Yan Jinyu, no one spoke. Hence, this voice seemed especially abrupt.
Everyone looked at the person who spoke.
Zhao Yue, who had seen how extraordinary Yan Jinyu was, was the only one who still dared to say such words now.
Yan Jinyu looked up calmly.
Zhao Yue was shocked again.
She trembled with regret.
Why did she say what she was thinking?
She smiled. “Why? Does Eldest Miss Zhao think that I’m a copycat?”
Her gaze was not sharp, her expression was not frightening, and she even smiled very gently. However, when Zhao Yue met her eyes, an unknown fear spread from the bottom of her heart.
“I-I…”
“Not to mention that it’s impossible to get first place with plagiarism, even if I really plagiarized, what does it have to do with you?”
“Miss Zhao, you don’t seem to have a good memory. Have you forgotten my warning that night? Have you forgotten about the fate of the eldest daughter of the Qiu Family in the capital a few months ago and my warning at the underground racing arena?”
“Speaking of which, I haven’t settled the score with Eldest Miss Zhao yet. I see that Eldest Miss Zhao is so impatient and keeps wanting to make your presence known in front of me from time to time. Are you afraid that I’ll forget to settle the score with you and remind me at all times?”
“In that case, I’ll do as you wish.”
Zhao Yue’s face turned pale. She was afraid now.
“No, no… I’m not…”
Regardless of whether she was or not, Yan Jinyu wasn’t someone who had good patience. She couldn’t be bothered with her.
She retracted his gaze and said to Tan Shiyun, “Yes, I know. I knew how much I could get when I took the test.”
Zhao Yue was still trembling and crying, but who cared?
There were not many people in class who were on good terms with her. Even those who were on good terms with her in the past were only superficial.
She was so stupid to provoke Yan Jinyu. Who would dare to interact with her?
Everyone feared for themselves. They only hoped that they wouldn’t be implicated by Zhao Yue.
They were mostly scolding Zhao Yue for being stupid inwardly.
They couldn’t see the situation clearly. Who in the third year didn’t know that Yan Jinyu was the one whom they shouldn’t offend at all costs?
There were rumors that Feng Yan and her two sidekicks had suddenly transferred schools because of Yan Jinyu. They had transferred because they had offended Yan Jinyu.
Hence, not only in the Year Three students, all the teachers and students in Boyu now knew that Yan Jinyu couldn’t be provoked.
Under such circumstances, Zhao Yue knew that Yan Jinyu was someone she couldn’t afford to provoke, but she still came to find trouble with her. If she wasn’t stupid, what was she?
Yan Jinyun then found out about Yan Jinyu’s test results. She was very happy, but before she could express her joy, she heard Zhao Yue’s words. Her face instantly darkened.
Hearing Yan Jinyu’s words, Yan Jinyun felt very happy, but she still didn’t intend to let it go.
It was hard for her to vent her anger if she didn’t do something personally.
Did she really think that the Yan Family’s status in North City was just for show?
She glanced at Zhao Yue and said to Yan Jinyu, “Sister, leave this to me.”
“I can settle a mere Zhao Family. They’re not worthy for you and Master Nine to step in. Since someone has repeatedly ignored the warning and come to find trouble, we have to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, others will think that anyone can step on us, the Yan Family.”
