The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 160: Domineering And Protective

Was that appropriate?

Of course, it was!

They were really guests to Yan Jinyu. This was even on the account that they were Yin Jiujin’s family. If they weren’t Yin Jiujin’s family, they wouldn’t even be considered guests to her.

Of course, if there was no estrangement between them and Yin Jiujin, as Yin Jiujin’s mother, Min Qinglan hadn’t have treated Yin Jiujin with an unfriendly attitude and even said that they led an ill-disciplined lifestyle,

she would have treated them differently.

Today was Yin Jiujin’s birthday. As his mother, Min Qinglan had rushed over from the capital. The first sentence she said to Yin Jiujin was actually so unpleasant. It even made Yin Jiujin’s emotions change for a moment. She couldn’t ignore that.

Moreover, Min Qinglan’s dislike for her was so obvious. Did she have to treat someone who disliked and even hated her as family?

Tsk, she was not a good person who would repay evil with kindness.

After her parents treated her like that, she didn’t even want them anymore, let alone the Yin Family who were not related to her by blood.

Most importantly, they had clearly done something to anger Yin Jiujin.

That was the most unforgivable thing.

“Look at what Auntie is saying. I live on Mount Jing, but you guys don’t. So when we’re in Mount Jing, aren’t you guests?”

“Also, since Auntie said that you’re Brother Nine’s closest kin, dare I ask, has Auntie ever uttered a ‘happy birthday’ to Brother Nine since stepping into Mount Jing?”

“No. Not only that, Auntie even scolded Brother Nine the moment you saw him.”

“Sleep until late in the morning? No matter how busy Brother Nine is every day, he will wake up at six o’clock sharp the next day. He only woke up a day late, and it was on his birthday.”

“Auntie didn’t ask Brother Nine where he was feeling unwell when we first met. You didn’t care if Brother Nine woke up so late because he was too tired from work. You also didn’t say happy birthday to Brother Nine. So Auntie, this is your so-called Brother Nine’s closest kin?” action

Who was Yan Jinyu?

The number one killer in the world of killers had been on the brink of death countless times. She had never lost a mission and had killed countless people.

Even if she cared about Yin Jiujin, she would never compromise for Yin Jiujin in front of others, even if those people were his family.

That was not her character, nor was it her style as the number one killer.

Furthermore, she couldn’t bear to see Min Qinglan treat Yin Jiujin like this.

Min Qinglan was speechless.

“I…” Min Qinglan moved her lips and was momentarily at a loss for words as she looked at Yin Jiujin, who was sitting there with his usual indifferent expression.

Obviously it was not. Not like this.

She said those words because she saw Jin’er and Yan Jinyu go downstairs with such an intimate attitude and she didn’t like Yan Jinyu, so… . She didn’t not care about Jin’er…

S-she didn’t not care?

Min Qinglan was suddenly uncertain.

Her initial anger was why she had ignored Jin’er in the beginning, but after so long, she actually still didn’t wish Jin’er a happy birthday!

Did she forget? Or…

Didn’t dare?

Yes, she didn’t dare to.

Not only did she not dare to say happy birthday, but she also did not dare to do many other things.

She didn’t dare to meet Jin’er’s gaze for many years. She didn’t even dare to stay in the same space as Jin’er.

That was not even from eight years ago. It was from the second year after Jin’er joined the army.

He had returned to spend the New Year at the end of the year. She met the criminal when they were buying New Year goodies. She had seen with her own eyes how the 10-year-old Jin’er had killed the criminal with a blade and a ruthless glare. At that time, the criminal’s blood had sprayed on her face.

She knew that Jin’er was acting bravely for a just cause, but Jin’er had really frightened her.

Then, when Jin’er reached out to help her up, she avoided his hand in shock.

She still remembered Jin’er’s gaze when he looked at her. It was filled with disbelief and hurt.

She had regretted it after the incident, but every time she saw Jin’er, she would remember the scene of him killing without blinking with an expressionless gaze.

She was just being a coward. She wasn’t targeting Jin’er. Anyone would be afraid if someone killed a person in front of them.

“I… Jin’er, I…”

Yin Jiujin swept a glance at her and the three people who had complicated expressions on their faces at the dining table. Finally, he fixed his gaze on Yan Jinyu’s face. “Why are you saying this? I’ve said that you’re the mistress of Mount Jing. You can decide who can step foot on Mount Jing and who can’t.”

“Don’t affect your mood for no reason.”

Yin Jiujin’s words made the hearts of the Yin Family members turn cold, especially Min Qinglan.

Especially after she sensed that Yin Wuzhan and Yin Yuhan were looking at her with emotions that she did not quite understand.

Her heart turned cold.

“Do you want to start making the cake now?”

Yan Jinyu stared at him and then smiled at him, “There’s no hurry. It’s still early. We’ve just eaten. Let’s go for a walk to digest our food.”

Yin Jiujin was stunned for a moment before the expression in his eyes softened. He raised his hand to rub the top of her head. “Yes, wait for me downstairs first. It’s cold outside. I’ll go upstairs and get you a jacket.”

The young lady didn’t want to go for a walk to digest her food. She clearly saw that he didn’t want to face the Yin Family now and specially found a reason for him to go out and take a walk.

“Alright, I’ll wait for you in the living room. Hurry up.”

Yin Jiujin glanced at them again before holding Yan Jinyu’s hand and leaving the dining room. He personally brought her to the living room. “Wait for me here.”

The Yin Family members who witnessed this scene felt extremely complicated.

No matter how stupid they were, they could tell that Yin Jiujin was guarding against them. He was afraid that they would bully Yan Jinyu when he left for a short while.

Were they so untrustworthy in his heart?

Especially Qin Jianjia. After seeing Yin Jiujin’s thoughts, the corners of her lips twitched.

She felt especially miserable because she had been implicated by the Yin Family.

Thinking about the past, how much did Jin’er trust her before she married into the Yin Family?

Even with such a cold personality, he still “obediently” called her Big Sister Jian Jia.

If she didn’t marry into the Yin Family, Jin’er would have trusted her.

She glared at Yin Yuhan as she thought about that.

Yin Yuhan was feeling complicated when he was glared at by Qin Jianjia.

He was also a little stunned.

He didn’t say anything. Why was she glaring at him?

Qin Jia glared at him again, then she snorted coldly and stood up. “I’ll go talk to Yu’er.”

As she spoke, she hesitated for a moment before turning her gaze to Min Qinglan, who was sitting there. “Mom, don’t blame me for saying too much. You were really in the wrong this time.”

“You know very well what kind of person Jin’er is. He gave up his comfortable life when he was eight years old and ignored the objections of his family to seek his own life and dreams. He even made a name for himself, although later…”

“After Jin’er entered the business world, he also made a name for himself. All of this didn’t happen for no reason. No matter how talented Jin’er is, it’s impossible for him to come into contact with a brand new industry in a few years and reach his current state.”

“No one knows how much Jin’er has suffered during this period of time. Even if we don’t live with Jin’er often, I know that Jin’er must be leaving early and returning late every day. Speaking of which, it’s rare for him to be willing to relax and rest for a day. As his family, we should be happy. Mom, you…”

“I’m a junior. It’s indeed not appropriate for me to say these words to you, but I really treat Jin’er as my biological younger brother, even if I haven’t married into the Yin Family.”

“Seriously, my heart aches for him.”

“It’s fine with Dad and Yuhan. They’ve never been people who express their emotions. You’re different. You’re Jin’er’s mother. On his birthday, since you’re willing to specially rush over from the capital, why would you be stingy with saying ‘happy birthday’?”

Even she had found a chance to say happy birthday to Jin’er, but she was only his sister-in-law. How could she be as important as his mother?

“And Yu’er… Mom, anyone with eyes can tell how much Jin’er values Yu’er. The two of them are engaged, and the marriage was decided by Grandmother herself. You should… not interfere too much.”

“To put it bluntly, if you continue to do this, you’ll probably lose Jin’er forever. It’s fine if you lose a son, but don’t let the Yin Family lose a Second Young Master.”

Just as Qin Jia spoke, Min Qinglan’s mood was complicated. She didn’t have much of a reaction and even felt that what she said made sense.

However, the more she listened, the darker her face became. Not only because of these words, but also because the person who said these words to her was her eldest daughter-in-law!

“You…!”

“Enough.” Yin Wuzhan calmly looked up at Min Qinglan. “Before I came to North City, I told you not to interfere too much. Go back after quietly celebrating Jin’er’s birthday. Do you have to make Jin’er not go home?”

“I don’t care how much trouble you make in the capital or which family’s daughter you prefer. As long as you don’t bring the person you preferred to Jin’er and make him unhappy. Just treat it as if you’re bored usually and find a junior who you like to talk to.”

“But we’re in Jin’er’s place now. Jin’er is obviously interested in that little girl. Can’t you have some tact? Or do you want you and your son to become strangers?”

Qin Jianjia nodded slightly at Yin Wuzhan and walked towards the living room.

Min Qinglan was not in the mood to pay much attention to her. Instead, her face turned red and white after hearing Yin Wuzhan’s words. In the end, she still said what she wanted to say.

“But this daughter of the Yan Family isn’t worthy of Jin’er at all! Not to mention her family background, just look at her. She grew up in a rural area and only graduated from junior high school. How can she be the Yin Family’s Second Young Madam?”

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. After all, it’s not like she can control her own past. However, which family’s respectable daughter would move to someone else’s house before getting married?”

“Alright, we won’t pursue the matter of cohabitation either. I also know that her parents didn’t like her after she returned to the Yan Family. With the engagement, it’s understandable for Jin’er to take care of her. But look, just her and Jin’er…”

“I’m embarrassed to say it. Do you really think that they slept until noon because they were tired from work?”

“It’s fine usually, but we specially rushed here from the capital today. They haven’t even gotten up yet. What are they doing!”

“Jin’er used to be such a disciplined person. Look at him now. He’s most likely bewitched. This daughter of the Yan Family looks innocent and pure, but her heart…”

Yin Wuzhan could no longer listen to her and interrupted her angrily, “Min Qinglan, you’re really something. You’re meddling in your son’s private affairs!”

“Do you want your son to be single for the rest of his life because he’s not interested in women? Or do you want him to bring home a son-in-law for you?”
