The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 168: Confrontation

She had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold.

She stood lazily by the door and yet she had an inexplicable imposing aura.

It was shocking and a little frightening.

Min Qinglan was a little frightened. She sat on the sofa in a daze for a long time. “Y-y-you…”

She couldn’t utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Finally, she forced out, “What nonsense are you talking about!”

She couldn’t leave this room unscathed?

How dare a little girl who grew up in the countryside say such words!

However, at this moment, she had a feeling that she was not boasting. That was the scariest thing.

Her limbs turned cold unknowingly.

Yan Jinyu chuckled, “Auntie, do you think I’m talking nonsense?”

“You’re Brother Nine’s mother. On account of Brother Nine, I call you Auntie. Do you really think that you’re my elder who can put on airs to teach me a lesson? Tsk, the person who can teach me a lesson is no longer in this world.”

“You don’t like me? Can’t you hide it in your heart if you don’t like me? Why do you have to come and find trouble with me? I don’t intend to do anything to you on the account that you’re Brother Nine’s mother. Of course, the premise is that you don’t come to find trouble with me.”

“You’re really good at finding trouble. You came when I’m feeling frustrated.”

“You…” Min Qinglan was about to say something when Yan Jinyu’s smile faded slightly. She stood up straight and walked towards her step by step.

She was less than 10 steps away, but every step she took gave Min Qinglan an inexplicable sense of oppression.

She panicked and instinctively wanted to retreat, but she was sitting on the sofa and could not retreat at all.

Yan Jinyu retracted her clear smile, and her eyes were cold.

Not to mention the timid Min Qinglan, even if it were anyone else, they would probably be frightened.

She pressed her back against the back of the sofa and looked at her warily, “W-What are you trying to do?!”

Her lips curled into a devilish smile and her killing intent suddenly appeared. “Tell me, what do I want to do?”

Min Qinglan’s face instantly turned pale.

Yan Jinyu stopped three steps away from Min Qinglan. Looking at her frightened expression, Yan Jinyu sneered, “You’re so timid, but you still dare to look for me.”

Yan Jinyu pressed her tongue against the back of her molars and looked down at her. “If you weren’t Brother Nine’s mother, you would probably be a corpse now. Understand?”

Min Qinglan looked terrified.

“Be sensible. Don’t provoke me. I can pretend that you don’t exist.”

“Oh, I heard that you even found a partner for Brother Nine in the capital? Are you not afraid of death, or are those wealthy young ladies not afraid of death?”

“Alright, I don’t want to kill you now. Go back to where you came from.” It was quite troublesome to kill her now. Yan Jinyu knew this very well.

Once she said that, Min Qinglan stood up in a panic. She even knelt on the ground because her legs were weak. Then, she was probably too afraid. She didn’t care about being embarrassed and scrambled out of Yan Jinyu’s room.

She even bumped into Qin Jianjia, who had found out that she was looking for Yan Jinyu and was worried that something would happen. Qin Jianjia hurriedly went upstairs to take a look.

“Mom, what are you…”

Before she could finish speaking, Min Qinglan grabbed her hand tightly. “Go back to the capital, go back to the capital! Now!”

“What’s wrong? Mom, what happened?” When Qin Jianjia saw that she was so frightened, she became anxious. Qin Jianjia thought that something had happened to Yan Jinyu because Min Qinglan had come out of Yan Jinyu’s room.

“Mom, did something happen to Yu’er?”

She was about to push her hand away as she spoke, but Min Qinglan held onto her tightly and refused to let go. “Let’s go back to the capital. We’ll go back now…”

Qin Jianjia was stunned because she actually saw pleading in Min Qinglan’s eyes.

Although she and her mother-in-law weren’t incompatible, they weren’t that close either. Because of her status as the eldest daughter of the Qin Family and she was also outstanding, her mother-in-law rarely picked on her flaws, but even so, her mother-in-law always acted like an elder in front of her. This was the first time she had seen her mother-in-law speak to her in a pleading tone.

Now, Qin Jianjia was even more flustered. She felt that something must have happened to Yan Jinyu. Otherwise, how could her usually overbearing mother-in-law be so frightened?.

“Mom, let go of me first. I’ll go and see Yu’er…”

“What’s wrong with Little Yu?” Yin Jiujin’s study was on the second floor. Although it was at the corner, how could he not hear such a huge commotion upstairs?

Just like Qin Jianjia, he thought that Min Qinglan was here to look for Yan Jinyu.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

Although he knew Yan Jinyu’s ability, Yin Jiujin was still worried.

“I don’t know. Go take a look. I’ll bring Mom downstairs first.” Qin Jianjia was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yin Family and had many things to take care of.

On the one hand, she was worried that something would happen to Yan Jinyu. On the other hand, she was worried that Yin Jiujin would explode after something happened to Yan Jinyu and Min Qinglan would probably get into trouble here.

Hence, she had to bring her downstairs first.

Without waiting for Yin Jiujin to reply, she brought Min Qinglan downstairs.

Yin Jiujin frowned slightly and hurriedly walked towards Yan Jinyu’s room.

The door wasn’t closed. Seeing Yan Jinyu sitting quietly on the sofa, Yin Jiujin’s heart finally relaxed slightly.

However, his heart skipped a beat the next second.

He saw Yan Jinyu sitting on the sofa looking up and smiling at him. “Brother Nine, you’re here. Sit.”

It was clearly a very normal smile, but Yin Jiujin could clearly sense that there was something strange about it.

She was indeed very abnormal now.

They had been interacting with each other for so long, their relationship had also proceeded to the next level, it was even his birthday and they had just finished eating the cake in the dining room happily. Now that she saw him, she should have pounced at him with her usual happy expression.

But she didn’t.

She sat there quietly and greeted him normally. She asked him to sit there normally.

Holding his breath, Yin Jiujin walked towards her. He didn’t sit down but stood in front of her. He raised his hand to rub her head, but she avoided him.

“Sit,” she said with a smile.

Yin Jiujin’s hand froze in midair. He looked calm, but his heart was already flustered.

This was the first time she had avoided him.

Even on the day he brought her back to North City, when they were still not familiar with each other, she didn’t avoid him.

He retracted his hand and curled his fingers.

“W-What’s wrong?” He had tried his best to remain calm, but his voice was still trembling.

“Sit,” Yan Jinyu said again, the smile on her face unchanged.

Yin Jiujin tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart. Just as he was about to sit down beside her, she said, “Sit over there.” She pointed at the other sofa nearby.

Yin Jiujin froze for a moment before sitting down beside her without any hesitation. He reached out and trapped her in his arms. “Girl, don’t be like this.”

“If you have anything to say, say it clearly. Don’t alienate me like this.”

Although the two of them had never fought before, in terms of skills, they were probably not much different.

Yan Jinyu didn’t want him to trap her, so he naturally couldn’t trap her either.

With a light movement, she retreated from Yin Jiujin’s embrace and sat on the other sofa.

Yin Jiujin wanted to get up and hug her again, but he met her faint smile. “Sit down first. I don’t want to fight you.”

Hence, Yin Jiujin couldn’t help but panic.

Clenching his fists gently, he sat back down. “D-did my mother say something to you?”

At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

It was Aunt Cheng. The tray in her hand had 10 bottles of yogurt.

Seeing that Yin Jiujin was in Yan Jinyu’s room, Aunt Cheng was stunned for a moment. However, she didn’t ask further and greeted him politely, “Second Young Master.”

Then, she looked at Yan Jinyu, “Miss Yu, the yogurt that you wanted.”

“Thank you. Let’s leave them here.”

Aunt Cheng was slightly stunned. Usually, Miss Yu would smile when she saw her. She would also happily take it and give her a sweet smile whenever she was getting the yogurt for her.

Now, although she was also smiling, she felt that something was different.

Why did Miss Yu want so much yogurt? Could she want to finish it in one go?

Originally, when Miss Yu called her, she had said that there wasn’t so much yogurt in the fridge, but Miss Yu didn’t care. She only said, “Ten bottles. I’ll have to trouble Aunt Cheng to send them to my room. Thank you.”

Then, she hung up.

She couldn’t read Miss Yu’s mind, but she was still considered a servant in this family. She sensed that something was wrong, so she hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow Miss Yu’s wishes.

Also, Miss Yu and Second Young Master…

The atmosphere was obviously not right.

However, Aunt Cheng also knew that this wasn’t something she could interfere in. She only went forward and placed the yogurt on the small coffee table in front of Yan Jinyu. Then, she left the room worriedly.

Seeing that Yan Jinyu had specially asked Aunt Cheng to bring so much yogurt over, Yin Jiujin’s face tensed up, and the alarm in his eyes turned to panic.

He had limited the amount of yogurt in the fridge at home. There were only five bottles in total.

He saw that the young lady had entered the kitchen to get one bottle when he went upstairs earlier but now, Aunt Cheng could even bring up 10 bottles.

It meant that this was the young lady’s request, and it was an unquestionable request.

Otherwise, Aunt Cheng wouldn’t have ignored his instructions.

Seeing that Yan Jinyu had picked up a bottle of yogurt and opened it, Yin Jiujin probably wanted to say something to make her drink less. He moved his lips, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.

After drinking a bottle of yogurt in one go, Yan Jinyu felt that the frustration that was about to burst out was suppressed a little.

Seeing that she was about to open the second bottle after finishing the first one, Yin Jiujin finally couldn’t help but say, “Little Yu, don’t drink in such a… hurry. Drink it slowly.”

Yan Jinyu’s hand that was about to open the yogurt paused for a moment, but then she still opened it.

She didn’t drink it and just held it in her hand. She smiled at him. “Brother Nine, how many women have you hugged?”

Yin Jiujin was stunned. He didn’t expect her to suddenly ask this. His expression turned cold. “Did someone say something to you?”

He thought that Min Qinglan had said something when she came to Yan Jinyu’s room earlier.

“So, Brother Nine has really hugged another woman before?” After saying that, she drank another bottle of yogurt in one go.

She was afraid that she might not be able to control herself if she didn’t drink yoghurt.

Yin Jiujin hurriedly said, “No, just you!”

“Don’t drink so much. We can talk things out slowly. Your stomach will feel uncomfortable.”

Suddenly, he heard a low laugh. Yan Jinyu looked up at him with a slightly cold gaze, “Only me? Are you sure?”
