âSister-in-law, youâre thinking too much. Brother Nine is very active in this aspect. I think the cloakroom in the Mount West Villa should have been prepared by him long ago.â
Regarding Yin Jiujin helping her arrange everything that she only needed to care about living her life in peace, it made Yan Jinyu feel warm in her heart, but it also made her feel a little helpless.
She felt that Yin Jiujin was treating her like a child.
Stay at the Mount West Villa?
Brother Nine?
Qin Bailu and Min Sisi looked at Yan Jinyu at the same time.
Did that mean that the two of them stayed together alone last night?
No, not just last night. The two of them had already moved in together in North City.
Then, did theyâŠ
Two adults living together would kiss on the streets, let alone when the two of them were alone at home!
That was what Qin Bailu was thinking.
The more she thought about it, the more jealous Qin Bailu became.
As for Min SisiâŠ
She looked very shocked. It seemed like she was shocked by how Yan Jinyu addressed Yin Jiujin.
âThatâs good.â
âHowever, since youâve returned to the capital, you and Jinâer should stay at home more in the future. Try not to stay at the Mount West Villa as much as possible. Iâve been to Mount West Villa twice. I keep feeling that itâs cold and not lively at all.â
Yan Jinyu smiled. âThat should be because Brother Nine is often in North City and doesnât often return to the capital. Thatâs why Sister-in-law feels that way.â
It was undeniable that the Mount West Villa was indeed not very lively, but after having traces of her and Yin Jiujin living together, it was actually not that cold and deserted.
Didnât they feel very at home after staying there for a night?
Hence, it was obvious that it was not the place itself which was cold and uninhabited, but the people who lived there should be blamed for it.
She felt that as long as the place had her and Yin Jiujin together, it was very good.
She felt a sense of belonging.
It made her feel that she was no longer the person who was drifting outside. She clearly did not lack money, but her heart had nowhere to rest.
The expression in her eyes surprised Qin Jianjia.
She felt that there were too many emotions in her clear eyes.
Qin Jianjia didnât understand, but she felt inexplicably sad.
âNo matter what, our family is very lively. Besides, home is also where Jinâer grew up. He has many memories there.â
âI know. Thank you, Sister-in-law. Weâll go back more often in the future.â
Qin Jianjia smiled and then looked at the two people standing at the side. âBailu and Sisi are here too.â
âEldest Cousin-in-law.â
âSister.â
The two of them greeted her.
Min Sisi was polite.
Qin Bailu was a little perfunctory.
Qin Jianjia didnât care and her attitude was just right.
It was neither intimate nor distant.
âSince youâre here, letâs shop together. Yuâer is a year younger than you guys, and sheâs about the same age as you guys. Compared to me, she should have more common topics with you guys. Yuâer isnât familiar with the capital, so Iâll have to trouble you two to take care of her in the future.â
These were completely polite words. In her heart, Qin Jianjia didnât want Yan Jinyu to interact with them too much.
She didnât know Min Sisi well, but Qin BailuâŠ
âŠwasnât a good person.
No one knew how evil a person raised by Bai Shuangshuang could be.
Yuâer looked like someone who trusted others easily. She didnât guard against anyone so she didnât want her to be fooled by Qin Bailuâs hypocritical appearance.
As for how Qin Jianjia could tell that Yan Jinyu trusted others easily, it was naturally from Yan Jinyuâs attitude towards her.
Qin Jianjia knew that Yan Jinyu was quite bold. Otherwise, she wouldnât have been able to scare Min Qinglan so badly at Mount Jing. However, in her opinion, Yan Jinyu might be being bold but she might not be very scheming. It wasnât impossible for her to be deceived by someoneâs hypocritical appearance.
âYouâre welcome, Eldest Cousin-in-law.â
âSister, youâre regarding me as an outsider. Weâre all family. Of course, we should take care of her.â
Qin Jianjia smiled faintly and didnât continue, âLetâs go upstairs to shop first.â
âIf Yuâer sees anything you want to buy, just tell Sister-in-law. Thereâs no need to save money for Sister-in-law. This is Jinâerâs place. Sister-in-law has a limited edition membership card. It wonât cost much to buy things here. Otherwise, we can charge to Jinâerâs account. Anyway, he doesnât lack this bit of money. You donât have to save it for him.â
Qin Jianjia said this because she was afraid that Yan Jinyu would be embarrassed to spend her money and wouldnât buy anything she liked.
âOf course, if thereâs really nothing you like, just treat it as shopping and familiarizing yourself with the environment.â
Yan Jinyu smiled and nodded, âThank you, Sister-in-law.â
The few of them got into the escalator and went to the second floor.
The second floor was dedicated to jewelry.
After shopping through that entire floor, Yan Jinyu simply looked around but didnât buy anything. On the other hand, Min Sisi and Qin Bailu chose two things each.
âYuâer, is there really nothing you like?â When she walked out and was about to go to the third floor, Qin Jianjia couldnât help but ask.
âNo, Iâm just looking at these things. Iâm not very interested in these jewelry.â
âYou said that youâre not interested. Why are you wearing that necklace all the time?â Qin Bailu said disdainfully.
When she was trying on the necklace, Qin Jianjia insisted on letting Yan Jinyu try one too. Yan Jinyu couldnât withstand her enthusiasm, so she removed the scarf. Only then did Qin Bailu see the necklace on her neck.
Even when Yan Jinyu tried the necklace, she didnât remove the one on her neck. The pendant was hidden in her clothes, so no one else saw it.
Yan Jinyu smiled at her, âOf course, Iâll always wear it because this necklace is Brother Nineâs 18th birthday present for me.â
âBrother Nine gave it to me. Of course, the meaning is different.â
Qin Bailu was even more jealous.
Master Nineâs coming-of-age gift!
âHmph! What are you so smug about? Isnât it just a necklace? I donât think that necklace is very expensive. Master Nine probably bought it at the mall. It might even be something Master Nine got someone to casually prepare for him. It might not take much effortâŠâ
âBailu!â Qin Jianjia interrupted her unhappily. âWhat are you talking about!â
This was the first time Qin Jianjia was cold to her. Qin Bailu was shocked.
She was so angry that she almost forgot that Qin Jianjia was still here.
Qin Jianjia was still useful. She couldnât let Qin Jianjia see through her thoughts for the time being.
âIâm sorry. I was angry when I saw that Sister was so enthusiastic about helping her choose, but she didnât like anything.â
âWhatâs wrong with that? If she doesnât like anything, it means that Yuâer hasnât seen something she likes. Who said that we have to buy something whenever we go window-shopping? Thatâs just wasting money if she just buys something when she doesnât see anything she likes. Yuâer will be someone who knows how to support her family when she gets married to Jinâer in the future.â
ââŠâ Yan Jinyu. Youâre flattering me. She simply didnât like anything.
She would buy whatever she liked no matter how much money she had to spend. She had done this a lot in the past, but she usually bought things at an underground auction.
Those things that she liked and bought at a high price were all extremely valuable. They had to be stored in the bankâs safe.
She didnât seem to know how to control the family budget very well like this.
âYuâer, donât listen to Bailuâs nonsense. We know Jinâerâs personality very well. Heâs not the kind of person who will choose a gift for others. Usually, when the elders at home celebrate their birthdays, he will get the mall to send a gift of good value over. He wonât personally prepare a gift for anyone.â
âI can tell at a glance that Jinâer meticulously chose this necklace for you.â
Was that really the case?
Of course not.
Qin Jianjia had made it up to ease her mind. She was afraid that she would think too much.
Indeed, she could tell that the necklace that Yan Jinyu was wearing was just an ordinary expensive necklace.
She didnât think that Yin Jiujin had spent a lot of effort to prepare it.
In fact, the value of this necklace was something that they could never guess.
âI know,â Yan Jinyu said with a smile.
âMiss Yan, can you show us the necklace? After all, according to my sister, Master Nineâsâ meticulously prepared âgift is very rare.â
Yan Jinyu turned to Qin Bailu and smiled at her. âWhy should I show it to you?â
âSpeaking of which, itâs just a look. Itâs not a big deal. But I donât like your attitude towards me just now, so even if itâs not a big deal, I donât want to do it.â
âI just donât want to show it to you. What can you do?â
âAre you even more curious about what gift Brother Nine gave me?â
âThen just keep on being curious.â
ââŠâ Qin Bailu.
ââŠâ Qin Jianjia.
She actually said it so directly. If she didnât like it, she didnât like it. If she was unhappy, she was unhappy. She dissed the other party in public without giving her any face.
This temperâŠ
âŠwas indeed formidable.
She couldnât be bothered to feign civility.
No wonder even her mother-in-law was so frightened.
However, this might not be bad. At least, she wouldnât suffer when others bullied her.
Furthermore, Yuâerâs words were very insulting!
Only Min Sisi looked deeply at Yan Jinyu, who was smiling as she said this.
Usually, people like Yan Jinyu were the hardest to deal with because you didnât know what she would do in the next second.
Which young lady of the influential families would be like Yan Jinyu, who didnât give anyone a face in public?
Even the most unruly daughter of a wealthy family might not speak like her. Be it for herself or for her family, most people would choose to maintain a superficial friendliness with others.
Did Yan Jinyu really not know the pros and cons of this, or was she too fearless and didnât care if she would offend someone?
It would be fine if it was the former, but if it was the latter, what was she relying on to do that?
Relying on her second cousin as her backing?
There was also another thing. Yan Jinyu actually had a smile on her face when she said these insulting words. It made people unable to tell if she was joking or really angry.
As Min Sisi was thinking, Yan Jinyu suddenly looked at her and smiled with narrowed eyes. âMiss Min, do you want to take a look? Youâre not as annoying as Qin Bailu. Anyway, itâs not a big deal. If you want to take a look, I can show you.â
âAfter all, itâs very difficult for you to have the chance to see Brother Nineâs meticulously prepared gift.â
Min Sisi looked at her and smiled faintly. âThereâs no need to. Bailu will be angry with me then.â
âBailu, youâre really too much. We agreed to accompany Miss Yan and shop together. We chose a few items when Miss Yan didnât buy anything. Itâs already rude, but you still said such rude words.â
âEveryoneâs personal preferences are different. Perhaps, Eldest Miss Yan doesnât like these jewelry. The Empire Mall is very big. If we shop slowly, we will definitely see something of Eldest Miss Yanâs fancy.â
âAlso, thatâs my second cousinâs birthday present to Miss Yan. Itâs too rude of you to ask her to show it to you so directly.â
âItâs just a look. How am I being rude?â Qin Bailu snorted inwardly. Min Sisi was like that. She was used to pretending to be a good person!
âItâs indeed not considered rude, but Iâm just unwilling to show it to you. What can you do about it?â
âYouâŠ!â
Qin Bailu gritted her teeth and was about to raise her finger to point at her when she met Yan Jinyuâs smiling eyes. She froze and couldnât raise her hand.
Again!
It was like this the last time!
Yan Jinyu was looking at her with such a gaze that made her flee in fear.
And now, she was cold from fear again.
She kept feeling that Yan Jinyuâs gaze was very scary!
No! She couldnât wait anymore!
She couldnât wait a second longer!
She felt that something would happen if she waited any longer!
