The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 253: A Casual, Prying Chat

Xi Fengling smiled charmingly. “Boss Xi?”

“Don’t you think it’s inappropriate to call me Boss Xi when you call Min Rufeng Second Brother? There are probably very few people in the capital who don’t know about my relationship with Min Rufeng, right?”

“Or do you think that I can’t enter the Min Family with my status like everyone else?”

“No—”

Min Sisi was about to speak when Xi Fengling interrupted, “But it’s fine. I don’t care much about your Min Family either. I only care about Min Rufeng.”

“Besides, seriously speaking, you’re not Min Rufeng’s biological sister. It doesn’t seem to matter how you address me.”

Xi Fengling covered her lips and smiled. “I’m sorry, I’m used to speaking directly. Don’t take it to heart. Since you’re a guest invited by Beauty Yu, be more casual.”

At this moment, Min Rufeng turned around and grabbed Xi Fengling’s hand. He held her wrist very tightly.

Xi Fengling was a little stunned.

However, when she met Min Rufeng’s gentle and smiling eyes, Xi Fengling secretly thought,?Oh dear.

She seemed to have said something that excited Min Rufeng just now.

The gentler Min Rufeng’s smile was, the more ruthless he was when he “tortured” her.

“You only care about me?”

Xi Fengling laughed dryly.

“Little Yu, lead them into the room first,” Min Rufeng said to Yan Jinyu.

Yan Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly and tactfully walked into the private room first.

When the others saw her enter, they threw a glance at Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling before following her in.

Min Sisi was the last to enter the private room. In order to leave a good impression on Min Rufeng, she still said, “Second Brother, I didn’t mean that.”

“It’s true that I want to learn medicine from you. I only address Sister Xi so because I’m not familiar with Sister Xi yet. I don’t have any intention of looking down on Sister Xi. Second Brother, don’t think too much—”

Min Rufeng looked at her. “I know.”

There was nothing wrong with his expression or tone, but Min Sisi could sense Min Rufeng’s impatience.

“T-then I’ll go into the private room first. Sister Xi and Second Brother, please don’t be angry with me.”

As soon as Min Sisi turned around and before she entered the private room, Min Rufeng hugged Xi Fengling and pushed her back against the wall. He lowered his head and kissed her.

It wasn’t that Xi Fengling didn’t struggle, but it was useless.

Then, she stopped struggling.

Min Rufeng held her like this. As he kissed her, he pushed open the door of the empty private room and brought her in.

Min Sisi didn’t turn around, but she had good hearing. She still heard something.

She walked straight into the private room and closed the door with a bang.

No matter how capable Min Rufeng was, he was also easily bewitched by beauty. Was it reliable to find him to cooperate?

Most importantly, Xi Fengling’s attitude towards her…

It was hard to guarantee that Xi Fengling’s attitude wouldn’t affect Min Rufeng.

However, she was even more certain about one thing.

Min Rufeng was not a freeloader.

He was obviously more powerful than Xi Fengling.

Xi Fengling was also considered a big shot. If Min Rufeng didn’t have the ability to convince her, why would she be willing to be with Min Rufeng?

Min Nan was no match for Min Rufeng.

Then, she had to cooperate with Min Rufeng no matter what. If Xi Fengling stopped her, or if Yan Jinyu and Min Rufeng really had a deep relationship.

Perhaps, she had to take the risk to get rid of both of them.

Originally, killing Yan Jinyu was already in her plan. However, she didn’t want to undertake too much risk and so she pushed Qin Bailu out.

Yan Jinyu…

She didn’t know her background and that made her afraid. She couldn’t touch her for the time being, but it wasn’t that difficult to touch Xi Fengling.

However, it was only a temporary thought. She had always liked to fight without bloodshed.

If she could change Xi Fengling’s attitude towards her, she wouldn’t have to take the risk.

“Miss Min, please sit,” Yan Jinyu said.

There was light music in the private room and there were wine and snacks on the table.

Other than Min Sisi, everyone else found their seats and sat down.

Huo Siyu sat between Huo Xuan and Qin Hao. As soon as she sat down, Qin Hao held her waist and pulled her towards him.

Huo Siyu was a little surprised and was about to break free when Qin Hao held her even tighter.

“Rainy, do you… hate me?” A hint of disappointment flashed past his eyes. It was neither too fast nor too slow, and Huo Siyu caught it.

Qin Hao was honest and straightforward, but he was a real man. Huo Siyu had never seen him show such emotions.

Huo Siyu dared to say no one else had seen it either.

The stronger a man was, the easier it was for him to soften others’ hearts when he occasionally showed some sadness.

Not to mention that he even asked if she hated him.

How could Huo Siyu bear to push him away?

“Why would I? Don’t think too much. When did I hate you?”

“If you don’t hate me, why don’t you want me to be close to you? We were so close when we lived together…”

Close?

This was actually a euphemism.

Huo Siyu was a little embarrassed.

Every time she teased him, it was either hugging or kissing. It was not something that could be summed up as “close”.

“I-Isn’t there so many people here? We have to be careful.” They sat so close and spoke softly. There was light music in the private room. Not everyone could hear their conversation, but she knew very well that her brother and Beauty Yu, who sat beside her, could definitely hear it.

She was occasionally very shy.

“It’s fine. No one will notice. I won’t go overboard either. This will do.”

“Rainy, you’ve been away from the capital for a month. You didn’t even tell me when you left. It makes me feel that you don’t care about me, your fiancé.”

“…” Huo Siyu. Indeed, she did not care much about him, but could she say that?

“Who said that? I knew that you were busy with work and didn’t want to disturb you. How could I not care about you? I know that you’ll call me when you’re not busy so I want to wait for you to call me before telling you that I’ve returned home. I care about you very much, really.”

Qin Hao lowered his eyes to look at her.

He tightened his grip on her.

Little liar. She was full of lies.

Qin Hao didn’t say anything.

Silence was better than words.

He was expressing that he did not believe her.

“Alright, then tell me. What should I do to make you believe me?”

Qin Hao raised his other hand and pointed at his cheek with a serious expression.

Seeing him like this, Huo Siyu wouldn’t think too much.

She only felt that Qin Hao was suddenly so abnormal. It must be because she didn’t notify him before leaving the capital and didn’t call him when she returned to South City. It seemed to affect him a little too much.

An honest person like Qin Hao would definitely not have any ulterior motives once he acknowledged his fiancée.

He was very polite to her and never took the initiative to take advantage of her, but he was indeed very good to her.

He really treated her as his future wife.

Oh, that day at the airport, Qin Hao kissed the back of her hand. It was the first time he had taken the initiative to take advantage of her.

It seemed like she was really in the wrong this time for Qin Hao to ask for a kiss in front of so many people.

If she had known that he cared so much, she would have called him.

However, she did not see Xue Yi, who was sitting there and watching the two of them, cover his face silently.

Boss was so shameless. He was really too ashamed to look at him!

Poor Miss Huo. She was completely deceived by Boss.

“Y-you, come closer.”

Qin Hao leaned over and Huo Siyu quickly kissed him.

“…” Huo Xuan, who returned to his senses after being deep in his own thoughts, happened to see that.

How dare you, Qin Hao. Did he think that he didn’t exist?

“Rainy.”

Huo Siyu was shocked. She felt a little guilty for kissing in public.

“Brother, what’s wrong?”

Glancing at Qin Hao’s hand that was around Huo Siyu’s waist, Huo Xuan said, “The sofa is so wide, why do you have to be so close? Sit over here a little.”

“Oh.”

Qin Hao let go.

He stopped hugging Huo Siyu, but his hand held hers.

Huo Xuan’s face darkened.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw Yan Jinyu eating with her chopsticks. Seeing that she was smiling and asking Luo Qiu to eat, Huo Xuan’s thoughts returned.

He no longer cared about Qin Hao.

“You’re welcome. There’s so much food. Eat as you please,” Yan Jinyu entertained Luo Qiu.

Then, she looked at Luo Yikun. “It shouldn’t be Second Young Master Luo’s first time in the capital, right?”

Luo Yikun, who had poured himself a glass of red wine, paused. “It’s indeed not my first time here. I’ve been here a few times with my friends in the past.”

“Oh,” Yan Jinyu replied with a smile. Then, she continued to eat as if she was asking casually.

“Is this Second Young Master Luo’s first time visiting the Yu Family in the capital?”

Without waiting for Luo Yikun to reply, Yan Jinyu looked at Luo Qiu. “Is it very rude of me to ask this?”

Luo Qiu smiled and shook her head. “No.”

Her mood was still affected when Yan Jinyu mentioned the Yu Family. After all, this was her maternal family, and it was her first time here after so many years.

However, she wasn’t blaming Yan Jinyu for mentioning it. She was blaming herself for only finding out the truth after so many years.

“It’s just that Eldest Miss Yan, I’m afraid you’re asking for nothing. This is my first visit to the Yu Family, so naturally, it’s my Second Brother’s first too.”

Yan Jinyu glanced at Luo Yikun. “Is that so?”

She put down her chopsticks and took a sip of warm water.

“It’s indeed my first time visiting the Yu Family,” Luo Yikun said with a smile.

Actually, it would be better that he didn’t answer that.

But he answered.

It made Yan Jinyu even more certain of a certain guess.

“Miss Yan, why are you asking this?”

“It’s nothing. I’m bored sitting here so I was just asking.”

Looking at Min Sisi, who was sitting at the side, Yan Jinyu was very warm. “Miss Min, you’re welcome. You can touch all the food and drinks.”

Yan Jinyu’s enthusiasm made Min Sisi feel a little uneasy.

He looked at her strangely. “Thank you.”

She removed the wrapping of a pair of chopsticks and picked up a snack, but she didn’t eat it. Min Sisi put it down again and looked at Yan Jinyu, “I think Eldest Miss Yan and my Second Brother seem to be very familiar with each other. From what I know, my Second Brother hasn’t been to North City for almost half a year. How did Eldest Miss Yan get to know my Second Brother?”

After emphasizing that Yan Jinyu had returned to North City, she didn’t have the chance to meet Min Rufeng at all. If she was really familiar with him, it would be that she had seen him before when she returned to North City.

Huo Xuan also pricked up his ears to listen attentively.

Although he had a guess, he wasn’t 100% sure.

Or rather, he didn’t want to confirm it inwardly. He even had a hint of anticipation and hoped that he was thinking too much.

Yan Jinyu blinked and asked innocently, “Am I very familiar with Feng?”

She already called him Feng, so was she familiar with him?

Furthermore, there were so many people outside the private room just now. If Min Rufeng wanted to stay with Xi Fengling, why didn’t he let others lead everyone into the private room but instead he only called her?

He even called her Little Yu.

“Actually, I haven’t known Feng for long. On the other hand, Meimei, aka Xi Fengling, the boss of this bar, went to North City some time ago and I hit it off with her at Third Young Master Min’s dinner gathering. We became friends.”

“I only met Feng because of Meimei.”

“Speaking of which, I’ve only known Feng for a few days. We only met after I arrived in the capital.”

Who would believe her?

Not to mention the others, even Luo Qiu didn’t believe it.

Oh, even Xue Yi, who had come with Qin Hao and had never seen Yan Jinyu before, didn’t believe her either.

“I see. I thought Eldest Miss Yan and my Second Brother knew each other long ago. You two seem to be very familiar with each other.”

“Perhaps I’m someone who’s naturally friendly with others.”

“…” Huo Siyu. The number one killer was naturally friendly? She was extremely defensive, okay.

She had spent a lot of effort to gain Beauty Yu’s trust in the past.

Did she think that Beauty Yu would believe her just because she had saved her once?

Forget it. Beauty Yu was such a difficult person to get close to. If she wasn’t smart and chose to start with Brother Feng and Sister Fengling, Beauty Yu wouldn’t have trusted her so quickly.

Huo Xuan was also a little speechless.

It was true that she always had a smile on her face. But was she a naturally friendly person?

She had lived in the Huo Family for so many days but now that she saw him again, she wasn’t that close to him.

“I see.”

“That’s it. Didn’t Eldest Miss Min and I just meet yesterday? Look, aren’t we very familiar now?”

“By the way, Eldest Miss Min sent Second Miss Qin to the hospital yesterday. I wonder if Second Miss Qin’s injuries are serious?”

Min Sisi could not react to her change of topic so quickly. “It’s not too serious. She should be discharged after resting for a while.”

“That’s good. I wonder if Second Miss Qin can continue to stay in the hospital.”

“…” Min Sisi. Yan Jinyu meant to say that Qin Bailu might be in big trouble.

However, why did she feel a little strange when Yan Jinyu said this with such a harmless expression and such a nonchalant tone?

“I’m not sure about that. After I sent Bailu to the hospital and handed her to her parents, I left first.”

“Second Miss Qin’s parents?”

“I heard that the current wife of the Qin Family is a legend. Not only did she marry into the Qin Family with an ordinary background, but she’s also very adored by the head of the Qin Family. I wonder if that’s true?”

At this point, Huo Siyu also sensed that something was amiss.

Beauty Yu was not a gossipy person.

Could it be that Beauty Yu felt that Bai Shuangshuang was related to Min Guili and even used Qin Bailu as a tool for Min Sisi?

That seemed to be possible.

Otherwise, why would Bai Shuangshuang and Min Guili push Qin Bailu out to be a target?

Min Sisi was the only daughter in the Min Family.

And Bai Shuangshuang only had one daughter, Qin Bailu.

Of course, whether Qin Bailu was Bai Shuangshuang’s daughter still had to be verified.

Since Beauty Yu wanted to find out about Min Sisi, she naturally couldn’t just sit back and watch.

At the thought of this, Huo Siyu said, “I’ve also heard of the current wife of the Qin Family. She’s indeed a legend.”

Sensing that Qin Hao was looking at her, Huo Siyu paused, then smiled at him and continued, “Ever since the current wife of the head of the Qin Family, Bai Shuangshuang, married into the Qin Family, Uncle Qin’s attention is all on her. He even completely neglected Qin Hao and Sister Jianjia.”

“I’m also very curious about Bai Shuangshuang. Since Eldest Miss Min has seen her, tell us what kind of person she is.”

Min Sisi glanced at Huo Siyu before looking at Yan Jinyu.

She was a little shocked.

Did Yan Jinyu discover something when she suddenly asked about Bai Shuangshuang?
