The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Fu Ya’s smile froze and she was a little unhappy, “Yun’er.” Ever since she received Yun’er’s call in the afternoon, she had felt that something was wrong. She thought that it was just an illusion, but now, she was certain that there was really something wrong with Yun’er.

Yun’er’s attitude towards their elder daughter seemed to have changed.

“Did something happen today?”

“What else could happen? It’s just that we didn’t succeed in getting someone to abduct Yan Jinyu.”

“You got someone to abduct her? Why did you get someone to do that for no reason?” Yan Qingyu was displeased.

Yan Jinyun looked at him, “Daddy, why do you ask when you already know the answer? According to Daddy’s previous plan, oh no, it should be according to our previous plan. According to our previous plan, shouldn’t we first think of a way to gain Yan Jinyu’s trust and then get close to Master Nine? I got someone to abduct Yan Jinyu because I wanted to destroy her so that she wouldn’t have the qualifications to fight with me again. Then, I appeared at her most helpless moment and gained her trust. Unfortunately, someone passed by and broke the siege midway and didn’t succeed.”

“Mom’s very disappointed that this failed. What do you think, Daddy?”

Her mocking tone made Yan Qingyu blush, “You…”

“Yun’er! What are you saying! When did Mommy ever teach you to use this tone to talk to your parents? Look at you now. Your tone is strange. Is this how a socialite should act?”

“I’m sorry that I let you down, Mom.”

Fu Ya choked.

“There’s something that I’ve always been puzzled about. Yan Jinyu and I are twins, and we’re also parents’ biological children, right? It’s fine that Dad and Mom didn’t care about her for so many years, but why do you still treat her like an enemy when she finally comes back? Does our Yan Family lack the money to feed another person?”

The servants all hung their heads, wishing they could faint on the spot and pretend not to hear anything. Second Missy’s attitude… They felt as if they had discovered something incredible.

Some things were better left unsaid. It would be horrible to make things that clear.

“What nonsense are you talking about! What enemy? Since when did we treat Jinyu as an enemy?!” Yan Qingyu finally blurted out after being exposed by his biological daughter in front of so many servants.

Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya hadn’t expected Yan Jinyun’s sudden change in attitude. Their intuition told them that something must have happened out there today.

Yan Jinyun sneered, “Daddy, you guys, no, it’s us. Let’s not say how we treated Yan Jinyu previously. I just want to remind you that no matter what, Yan Jinyu’s surname is Yan. She’s also your daughter. Don’t be too ruthless. Otherwise, if word gets out, it won’t look good on anyone.”

Actually, what she wanted to say was that if they forced Yan Jinyu into a corner, they would definitely not be able to get anything out of it. However, since she had said that she would pretend that she didn’t see anything, she naturally wouldn’t expose Yan Jinyu’s ability.

“I don’t care what happened outside today. You can’t talk to your parents like this anymore. That’s not what I taught you either. Also, if you want to talk about our attitude towards your sister, you’d better think about how you treated her previously. We didn’t treat her as a daughter, but did you treat her as an elder sister? I don’t think that in the end, your father and I will be the bad guy, while you’re the good guy who fights for justice. You’d better don’t forget about who we’re doing this for.”

Yan Jinyun bit her lips. She couldn’t refute her.

“Mom can say whatever you like. I’ve said everything that needs to be said. If you and Dad don’t want our Yan Family to become the laughing stock of North City because of neglecting your biological daughter, you can continue doing whatever you like.” She knew that she couldn’t beat Yan Jinyu, so she wouldn’t pick a losing battle.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go upstairs first. Mom and Dad should rest early too.”

The more Fu Ya listened to her, the more she felt that something was amiss. She knew very well what kind of personality her daughter had. Something big must have happened to make her attitude change so drastically.

She waved to the servants, “All of you may go now.”

Looking at Yan Jinyun’s back, she said, “Yun’er, wait a sec!”

Yan Jinyun stopped, “It’s true that I didn’t eat dinner, but I don’t have much of an appetite. Mom, you don’t have to trouble yourself.” These words were actually meant to irritate her.

Yan Jinyun didn’t know why either. They clearly didn’t do anything to her, and she wasn’t any better than them either. However, when she saw how they treated her and Yan Jinyu so differently now, she couldn’t help but want to say something to irritate them.

Irritate them and irritate her as well

“What’s wrong with you? You acted as if you had eaten explosives the moment you came back. Don’t you know why we don’t care about your sister? If your sister didn’t come back, you would be the one who would marry into the Yin Family in the future. You would also be the only heir of the Yan Family. But if she came back, your path would be blocked. Not only would it be more difficult for you to marry into the Yin Family, but even your inheritance rights would be affected. You’re so smart. You would understand such a simple logic, right? Now, you’re thinking about your sister. What exactly are you thinking about?” Without the servants present, Fu Ya didn’t have so many scruples when she spoke.

“Enough!” For the first time in her life, Yan Jinyun felt disgusted with her mother.

However, she had no right to criticize her.

Because she was just like this before.

“Mom, I admit that I’m not a good person. I won’t tolerate people and matters that jeopardize my own interests. But Mom, no matter what, Yan Jinyu is still your biological daughter. Is it really as simple as not caring about her?”

“I know that between Yan Jinyu and me, you’re more biased towards me. However, I don’t like this kind of bias. Do you really think that Yan Jinyu can snatch away what originally belonged to me just because she’s back? Let’s say even if she can snatch it away, am I, Yan Jinyun, such a sore loser?”

“Since you’ve already said so much, I don’t mind making things clear at once. The Yin Family’s engagement is Yan Jinyu’s. I won’t go fight for it, and I know that I won’t succeed. As for whether Yan Jinyu will be able to marry into the Yin Family in the end, that’s not something I should be concerned about. Similarly, I won’t take the initiative to give up the Yan Family’s inheritance rights. If Yan Jinyu wants the Yan Family, I’ll compete with her openly.” Unfortunately, Yan Jinyu didn’t fancy the Yan Family at all.

Yan Jinyun didn’t say the last sentence.

“Yun’er, you… Why are you…”

Yan Qingyu interrupted Fu Ya, “Enough! Why did you make a fuss over a small matter? Won’t you lose face if this gets out? Yun’er, did you meet someone when you went out today? Or did someone say something to you?”

“Daddy, you’ve overthought. No, I didn’t meet anyone and no one told me anything. I only said these words because I feel that we’re family. There’s no need to be so ruthless. Yan Jinyu… is actually very pitiful.”

“Speaking of which, Daddy simply wants to have a relationship with the Yin Family through marriage. Since Master Nine treats Yan Jinyu differently, why don’t Daddy place your hopes on her? Daddy, don’t forget how Master Nine treated Yan Jinyu when he sent her back. All these years, have you ever seen the famous Master Nine treat anyone so special?”

“Actually, Daddy, you know very well that compared to me, it’s easier for Yan Jinyu to marry into the Yin Family, right? Since that’s the case, why do you have to turn your family members into enemies? With our attitude towards Yan Jinyu previously, it’s already impossible for us to be on good terms with her, but it’s still possible to not become enemies. What the Yan Family wants is actually a marital connection with the Yin Family in the capital. As for who the marriage partner is, it’s not that important, right?”

“Besides, even if I’m the one who married into the Yin Family and not Yan Jinyu, how can Dad and Mom guarantee that I will side with you wholeheartedly? You have to know that I’m your daughter. I’m the same as you two in my bones and both of you are cold-blooded.”

After saying that, Yan Jinyun sneered and turned to go upstairs. She didn’t care about them anymore.

Liu Qingyu and Fu Ya sat in silence for a long time. They were still feeling disappointed.

“Qingyu, this… Yun’er, this…”

“You’ve taught her well!”

At this moment, Yan Jinyun, who had walked to the staircase, suddenly stopped and said, “Oh yes, rather than wasting our efforts on these things that won’t benefit us, why don’t we focus on preparing for Yan Jinyu and my coming-of-age ceremony? Ever since Yan Jinyu returned to North City, who knows how many eyes have been watching our Yan Family? Don’t make a fool of yourself then.”

Yan Jinyun’s words had two meanings.

Firstly, it was to remind them to prepare for the banquet and not find trouble with Yan Jinyu again. Secondly, it was to remind them that the coming-of-age ceremony belonged to her and Yan Jinyu, not her alone.

However, regardless of whether Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya could tell it or not, Yan Jinyun wouldn’t remind them again.
