The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 205: Enemies and Friends

Huo Xuan held his handkerchief and coughed softly. He looked past Yin Jiujin and at Yan Jinyu, “I came uninvited. Sorry for disturbing you.”

Huo Siyu also said, “My brother sent me here.” She did not intend to let her brother follow her. After all, she did not want her brother to have any thoughts about Beauty Yu. Of course, the less he interacted with her, the better.

However, her brother did not go to the company for the entire day. He was just settling work in the study room. When she was about to leave, he suggested sending her there.

In the end, she could only let him send her. action

She did not know why her brother did that.

Was he simply here to accompany her? Or did he want to see Beauty Yu?

Not to mention that Huo Siyu didn’t know the purpose of Huo Xuan following them, even Huo Xuan himself might not know it.

At that moment, he simply wanted to come over. He really wanted to, so he did.

He did not think too deeply about the reason.

“I’ve been disturbing the Huo Family for so many days, so I should treat Young Master Huo to a meal. I thought that Young Master Huo was busy with work, so I didn’t invite him. It’s naturally good that Young Master Huo can come,” Yan Jinyu said truthfully.

“Miss Yan, you’re being too polite. You’re Rainy’s friend. We’re all very happy to have you as a guest in the Huo Family. Come again if you have the chance.”

After saying that, she turned to Yin Jiujin and smiled sinisterly. “Second Young Master Yin, I trust you’ve been well since we last met.”

Yin Jiujin glanced at him emotionlessly. “How have you been?”

Huo Xuan didn’t show his thoughts. If he didn’t let go and he would make his girl notice Huo Xuan, he wasn’t that stupid.

“Thank you for taking care of my fiancée these few days.”

Fiancée…

Huo Xuan paused.

Indeed, the elders of the two families had long decided on their engagement.

Very good. Yin Jiujin was considered very capable among the younger generation. From the looks of it, they were very compatible.

Even though…

He chuckled. “The Huo Family should be thanking Eldest Miss Yan for taking care of Rainy. Second Young Master Yin, you don’t have to be polite.”

“Young Master Huo,” Chen Xiaotian greeted.

“Boss Chen.”

Huo Xuan looked around, “I heard that this is Boss Chen’s shop. It seems like business is good.”

“It’s just a small business. I’ve embarrassed myself in front of Young Master Huo.”

After some small talk, they arrived at the private room.

The Chen brothers did not join them. They only instructed the waiters to entertain them.

There was an air conditioner in the private room, so Yin Jiujin naturally helped Yan Jinyu remove her scarf. Yan Jinyu removed her jacket and naturally handed it to him.

Huo Xuan saw this scene and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Huo Siyu tsked inwardly as she took off her jacket and hung it up.

These two people were really…

They were so intimate that no one could interfere. It seemed like it was good for her brother to accompany her on this trip.

It could make her brother give up.

Although the process was a little cruel.

It was better to suffer quickly.

She was indeed a heartless sister.

The four of them sat down.

Huo Siyu took the menu automatically and ordered many dishes without asking anything.

Then, she didn’t hand the menu to Yan Jinyu but handed it to Yin Jiujin.

Yin Jiujin looked at her deeply but didn’t take it. He only said, “Just order. I rarely eat hotpot. I’m not particular about it.”

Be it Xi Fengling or Huo Siyu, they automatically ignored the girl when they ordered food.

And the food that Huo Siyu ordered was clearly more than one person could eat.

In other words, she had ordered everything that both she and the young lady liked.

She did the same as Xi Fengling.

Everyone knew how lazy the young lady was.

Every time he knew that these people knew the girl better than him, he felt a little upset. However, at the same time, he was very glad.

He was glad that they were by the young lady’s side when she suffered.

Huo Siyu handed the menu to Huo Xuan. “Brother.”

“Just go ahead and order. We’ve had so many meals at home together. You should remember my taste.”

Huo Siyu did not know if it was an illusion, but she felt that her brother’s words sounded a little sour.

When Yin Jiujin heard that, he glanced at Huo Xuan imperceptibly.

So, was Huo Xuan jealous because Huo Siyu ordered food for the young lady?

Then his feelings for the young lady…

She could not understand.

In reality, it wasn’t that Yin Jiujin couldn’t understand, but even if Huo Xuan treated Yan Jinyu differently now, she still couldn’t surpass Huo Siyu in Huo Xuan’s heart.

They had their dinner after ordering.

After eating for a while, Huo Xuan suddenly looked at Yin Jiujin and said, “I heard that Second Young Master Yin has caused quite a commotion in the capital recently.”

“I simply taught some ignorant people a lesson.” Yin Jiujin’s words were a hint.

Of course, Huo Xuan understood, but he pretended not to.

“If I wasn’t so busy recently that I couldn’t leave, I might have joined in the fun.”

“Young Master Huo, if you don’t find it troublesome, just join in the fun.”

“I’m the least afraid of trouble. Unfortunately, I don’t have such an opportunity now.”

“If Young Master Huo feels that the Huo Corporation has enough to squander, you’ll have a chance anytime.” This meant that he would entertain him anytime.

“The Huo Corporation doesn’t have anything else except a lot of money. We can squander it as we please.”

***

The two of them kept talking, making Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu rather speechless.

What kind of childish “open strife” was this?

Huo Siyu picked up some food for Huo Xuan. “Brother.”

Huo Xuan stopped his “argument” with Yin Jiujin and looked at her.

“It’s very likely that the person targeting Second Young Master Yin is targeting Beauty Yu. Beauty Yu’s enemy is my enemy.”

When she said this, the people who heard it would only think that she had a good relationship with Beauty Yu and treated Beauty Yu’s enemy as her enemy. However, Beauty Yu’s enemy was, in fact, the same as hers.

She had said it so ambiguously on purpose.

However, Huo Xuan understood.

Because he had already guessed Huo Siyu and Yan Jinyu’s past.

Although he couldn’t guess anything concrete, he could tell from their relationship that they must have lived together in the past.

Hence, those people who came for Yan Jinyu, would also target Rainy?

Huo Xuan frowned deeply.

“You’re my sister, so your enemy is naturally my enemy too. I was joking with Second Young Master Yin just now. There’s no need to take it seriously.”

Of course, it wasn’t a joke. He and Yin Jiujin were really competitors in business.

However, if they had a common enemy, he did not mind a temporary truce.

Actually, Huo Siyu felt a little touched when she heard Huo Xuan’s words.

It made her suddenly have the feeling that other than these few companions who would go through life and death with her together, her family was helping her unconditionally.

She smiled. “It’s good that you’re joking. Beauty Yu and I don’t know much about business either. I just hope that Brother and Second Young Master Yin don’t fight like fire and water. Isn’t there some… benign competition?”

Huo Xuan’s eyes were smiling as he raised his hand to rub the top of her head, “If you encounter any trouble in the future or anything you can’t resolve, you can tell me.”

“Mm-hm.”

After dinner, they left separately.

However, at night, Yin Jiujin received a call from Huo Xuan.

Looking at Yan Jinyu, who was lying on his lap and watching television, Yin Jiujin caressed her face. He said softly, “I’ll go and answer a call.”

Yan Jinyu sat up. “Go ahead.”

Yin Jiujin leaned over and pecked the corners of her lips before getting up and walking to the room with his phone that kept ringing.

The call connected. “What’s the matter?”

“With Second Young Master Yin’s intelligence, you should have guessed why I called, right?” Huo Xuan sat in the study room with his phone in one hand and the latest information Huo Ning had sent over in the other.

It was about investigating Huo Siyu’s past.

He found more information than before.

For example, after careful investigation, they realized that most of the students in that school back then did not know Huo Siyu when she was studying in Country F.

Although her education certificate was real, there was indeed such a person in the school records.

It further confirmed his guess.

“Young Master Huo, please speak frankly.”

“Sometimes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. Since the person who is targeting Second Young Master Yin is very likely to be targeting Eldest Miss Yan, then they can be considered as Rainy’s enemy. I wonder if Second Young Master Yin has found out the other party’s identity? If you have, I hope you can tell me. One more person will be more useful.”

“I haven’t.”

Huo Xuan knew that since he had already said so much, there was no need for Yin Jiujin to lie about this.

After all, Yin Jiujin wasn’t a fool. On the contrary, Yin Jiujin was a very shrewd businessman. If he contributed to this matter, it would be a gain for Yin Jiujin. Yin Jiujin wouldn’t be stupid enough to reject him.

It was precisely because of this that Huo Xuan fell silent for a long time after hearing Yin Jiujin’s words.

An enemy that Yin Jiujin couldn’t find after causing such a huge commotion…

How did Rainy survive in the past?

“Does Second Young Master Yin have a suspect?”

“Yes, but I won’t tell you for the time being. Since you didn’t guess it, you probably don’t know your sister well enough. You don’t have to find out from me. I won’t interfere.”

“Ask your sister if you want to know.”

“If you still can’t find out, you don’t have to interfere in this matter. Protect your sister. Don’t let my people worry about her safety.” This was what Yin Jiujin wanted to say.

The young lady did not show it, but he could tell that the young lady was actually very loyal.

She cared more about others’ safety than herself.

He hoped that the young lady would think more about herself.

“On the account that your sister and my fiancée have a deep relationship, I’ll remind Young Master Huo to look after your sister. This time, the other party is looking for trouble with us. Perhaps, they’ll look for trouble with you next time.”

Huo Xuan paused in his flipping of the document and was silent for a moment before saying, “Thank you for the reminder.”

After saying that, he hung up.

As soon as he hung up, there was a knock on his study door.

It was Huo Siyu who pushed the door open and entered. “Brother, are you busy? I came to talk to you.”

Huo Xuan glanced at her and closed the document in his hand before placing it under the laptop on the table.

He got up and sat down on the sofa. “Come and sit down.”

Huo Siyu walked over and sat down. Without hesitation, she went straight to the point. “Brother is investigating me, right?”

Huo Xuan’s heart tightened.

“Brother, don’t be nervous. I have no intention of pursuing the matter. I only mentioned it to tell you that since I know that you’re investigating, if I don’t want you to find out, you won’t be able to get anything. Brother, you don’t have to waste your manpower and effort on this matter anymore.”

“You’re already busy with work and don’t have time to rest properly. If you continue to worry about these things, how tiring will it be for you?”
