Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yan Jinyun was the one who called the driver from the Yan Family. The car was still the one that they drove today. π§π―eπ²π¬β―ππ·oπ·eπΉ.πππ
Turning back to look, she saw someone chasing after her from the Zhao residence. When she saw who it was, Yan Jinyun hurriedly said, βStop the car.β
After a while, the person caught up with them. Yan Jinyun didnβt get out of the car. She simply rolled down the car window.
βYunβer, long time no see.β
The person was wearing a pair of silver-framed glasses. He looked handsome and refined, like a well-bred young master. However, because this well-bred young master had run all the way here, he seemed to be in a rather sorry state.
Yan Jinyun had never seen this person in such a sorry state before.
She had already sorted out her frustration and smiled politely, βWhy is Brother Luo here?β
Luo Yilin was the eldest son of the Luo family in North City. He was 20 years old and was in his second year of university.
βLittle Qiu is sick and since itβs also the weekend, I came back to take a look. Coincidentally, itβs also your classmateβs birthday. Our family isnβt far from the Zhao family, so Little Qiu asked me to go to the Zhao Familyβs house to send her a gift.β The Luo Family was not far ahead, and it would only take them about half an hour to walk over.
βWhy did you leave as soon as you arrived? I saw that most of the people at the Zhao Familyβs banquet were your classmates. I thought you would stay on for a while longer.β
βI have something on, so I wonβt stay any longer.β
βI see.β
βBut Brother Luo isβ¦β
βHey, I was just about to leave when I saw you leave. I wanted to hitch a ride. I came here on foot. It will take me half an hour to walk back.β
The young master of the second-biggest family in North City would not need a free ride. Even if he really did not want to walk back, a call from his family would be enough for him to pick up.
Yan Jinyun didnβt expose him. She simply smiled and said, βItβs my honor to be able to give Brother Luo a ride. If you donβt mind, Brother Luo, please get in the car.β
βThank you, then.β Luo Yilin thanked her with a warm smile. He opened the car door and got in. He was very gracious and looked like he was really just taking a ride.
βYouβre already in your third year of high school. You must be very nervous about your studies recently,β Luo Yilin said first.
βItβs alright. Iβm almost done revising, so Iβm not too nervous.β
Luo Yilin nodded. βWith your foundation, itβs only normal that youβre not nervous. Donβt give yourself too much pressure either. If you perform normally, you can still get into one of the top universities in the country.β
βThank you.β
Luo Yilin gazed at her face. There was a flash of infatuation under his silver-framed glasses, and he quickly looked away.
βI heard that your sister is back?β
Yan Jinyunβs smile froze, βYes, Iβm back.β
βHow did your sister get along with you after she returned?β
βPretty good.β
Luo Yilin glanced at her and smiled, βThatβs good. I thought that the environment you two grew up in was too different for you to get along with. Youβre too kind and soft-hearted. Uncle Yan and Auntie Fu havenβt seen your sister for many years. I was worried that if you two couldnβt get along, they would side with your sister because they owed her and you would sufferβ¦β
βLuo Qiu is sick. Is she still okay?β Yan Jinyun still had a smile on her face, but it was clearly not as sincere as before.
She clasped her hands tightly together.
He was obviously someone who was deceived by her hypocritical appearance, but why did she feel a little angry when she heard him say that?
He had thought that the gentle and refined young master of the Luo family was different. Compared to others, he had said it very tactfully, but his prejudice against Yan Jinyu was real.
They were all very prejudiced against Yan Jinyu. She had no right to criticize others, nor did she have the right to be angry because of other peopleβs prejudices. She was once one of them.
But she couldnβt help it.
Luo Yilin wasnβt stupid. He could tell that she was deliberately changing the topic.
She didnβt want to talk about this anymore.
She had always been prideful, so she must have been wronged.
A cold glint flashed across his eyes as he continued, βShe had a high fever yesterday. The family doctor came to see her. She took some medicine and got an IV drip. Her fever has subsided. If she rests well, she can go back to school tomorrow.β
βThatβs good. I wish Luo Qiu a speedy recovery. We have reached the Luo Familyβs residence, I still have things to do. Iβll visit you next time when I have the time.β She cut off the possibility of Luo Yilin inviting her in.
In the luxurious villa area, there were not many cars on the road. The distance that he needed to walk for half an hour, could be covered in a five to six minutes drive.
The driver had already stopped the car.
βSo fast.β There was a hint of displeasure in Luo Yilinβs tone, but it was not obvious and not easily detected. fππeweππ૦π―eπ.cπΌπ
βSince Yunβer has something to do, I wonβt invite you into the home. Weβll meet again when youβre not busy. Thank you for today. If not for your ride, I wouldnβt have reached home so quickly.β
βBrother Luo, youβre too polite. Itβs just on the way.β Her tone was already very distant, but Luo Yilinβs eyes could only see that charming smile on her face and so he didnβt notice it.
After closing the car door, she bent down and waved ,βGoodbye, Yunβer.β
βGoodbye.β Before the car started, the window was already rolled up.
Even after the car had gone far away, Luo Yilin was still standing where he was. The warm smile on his face had already disappeared, and it was replaced with a determined look.

Feng Yuan brought Yan Jinyu around the Feng Familyβs mansion. After dinner, Feng Yuan drove her back to the Yan Family.
Along the way, Feng Yuan introduced the fun places in North City to Yan Jinyu. He looked so excited that he could not wait to bring Yan Jinyu to play in all of them.
It was a pity that Luo Linlin had instructed him to send Yan Jinyu safely to the Yan Family before eight oβclock. Otherwise, he would have brought Yan Jinyu to see the nightlife of the young people in North City.
βWeβve arrived at the Yan Family. It looks like I canβt bring you out to play today. Thereβs a race organized by a friend in a few days. When the time comes, Iβll bring you out to playβ¦ Forget it, that kind of occasion isnβt suitable for you. I wonβt bring you along. Iβll bring you around next weekend. Oh right, give me your phone number. I was too busy talking earlier and didnβt remember your number.β
The car stopped at the Yan Familyβs entrance.
As Yan Jinyu thanked him and got out of the car, she gave him a string of numbers.
Feng Yuan took out his phone and pressed a few buttons on the keyboard. Yan Jinyuβs phone rang. βRemember mine too. Call me if anything happens.β
Yan Jinyu smiled and nodded, βOkay, itβs not my territory, so I wonβt invite you in.β
Feng Yuan looked at her, then looked at the Yan Familyβs main door behind her. He was speechless, but at the same time, he felt upset.
She was most likely treating herself as an outsider in the Yan Family.
Indeed, in the Yan Family, her parents did not treat her as their daughter. Wasnβt she just an outsider?
If it wasnβt for the Yan family, he would have taken her to the Feng Family long ago. However, the Yan Family was still around, and the Feng Family and her were only relatives who were separated by a couple of generations. Therefore, the Feng Family had no right to interfere.
He felt a little oppressed.
βMmm, itβs getting late. Letβs go in. If you run into any trouble, remember to give me a call. Otherwise, you can contact my parents. You have both their phone numbers, right?β
βYes. Aunt exchanged numbers with me when you were serving the dishes.β
Serving the dishesβ¦
Speaking of this, Feng Yuan was speechless. He clearly had so many servants, but his mother liked to squeeze him dry and even said nicely that she wanted to nurture him.
βThen Iβm leaving now.β
Yan Jinyu smiled brightly, βBe careful on the road.β Although she was in a bad mood today, she was in a good mood now. Not only because she went to the Feng Family to meet them, but also becauseβ¦
Lowering her head to take a look, a text message popped up on her phone. The content was: βTomorrow, Iβll be checking the shopping mall here. Your birthday is coming soon. What birthday present do you want?β
The message was from Yin Jiujin, which she had just received as she got out of the car.
So, someone did remember her coming-of-age ceremony.
Feng Yuanβs car left, but she did not enter the Yan Familyβs house immediately, nor did she reply to his messages like she did many times before. Instead, she stood outside the Yan Familyβs entrance with her phone, kicking the small stones on the ground.
In less than three minutes, the screen lit up again, and the phone rang.
It was Yin Jiujin.
Yan Jinyuβs eyes curved, and her smile became even brighter. She picked up the call, βBrother Nine, good evening!β
βAre you busy?β His voice was deep, but it sounded exceptionally pleasant.
βNo, if I was busy, I wouldnβt have answered your call immediately.β
There was silence on the other end of the line. After a long while, he said, βSince youβre not busy, why didnβt you reply to my message?β
βOf courseβ¦ It was because I wanted to talk to Brother Nine.β After saying that, she let out a low laugh.
