The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 425: Getting An Assistant

It wasn’t Yan Jinyu who forced her to stay here. She insisted on not leaving after Yan Jinyu saved her.

According to Zero, she had two objectives for staying here.

Firstly, it was to improve herself and not be schemed against so easily. After staying here for five years, she had indeed become the strongest in the underground fighting arena.

Secondly, she insisted on repaying Yan Jinyu for saving her life before leaving.

All these years, Yan Jinyu didn’t need her to repay her kindness, so she had been waiting here.

Yan Jinyu had never been here for five years. She had only seen Yan Jinyu once when Yan Jinyu saved her five years ago.

Zero looked up at her.

Actually, Zero had a very obedient look. It was just that her expression was too cold that it blurred her obedient look.

She was only in her twenties.

“Miss, please instruct me.”

“Help me protect someone for a year. After that, we’ll have nothing to do with each other anymore.”

“Sure.”

“Alright, come and look for me tomorrow morning. I’ll give you my hotel address. In the next year, follow her around as her assistant.”

After saying that, Yan Jinyu stood up and prepared to leave.

Bi Cheng wanted to ask her to stay, but someone beat him to it.

“You’re leaving now?” It was Zero.

She was still expressionless, but there were obvious subtle emotions in her eyes.

Bi Cheng glanced at Zero and said, “Yes, it’s rare for you to come. Aren’t you going to stay for a while? The arena is very lively tonight. You can stay and take a look.”

“Next time.”

Looking at zero, Yan Jinyu said, “Then, see you tomorrow.”

She called Tan Shiyun and left.

Bi Cheng didn’t ask someone to send them because he knew that Yan Jinyu didn’t need them.

It was already four in the morning when the two of them returned to the hotel.

After returning to their rooms, Yan Jinyu sent Yan Jinyun and Feng Yuan a message.

At that moment, Yan Jinyun was still in Feng Yuan’s room. She sat on the sofa and leaned against Feng Yuan, almost falling asleep. The phone in her hand vibrated, and she suddenly jerked awake.

Seeing Yan Jinyu’s message, the two of them felt relieved.

“Since Sister is back, I’ll go back to my room first. It’s already so late. You have to wake up early tomorrow. You should sleep early too.”

Yan Jinyun woke up too quickly and didn’t realize that her feet were numb. She almost fell.

Fortunately, Feng Yuan quickly held her up.

“I’ll send you back.”

Yan Jinyun didn’t reject him. She just stayed next door.

However, when the two of them went out, they saw a hotel guest on the same floor before returning to her room.

Perhaps because she was in a bad mood, she slammed the door in the middle of the night.

Yan Jinyun was shocked that someone suddenly slammed the door so loudly in the quiet corridor. “Is there something wrong with this person? She smashed the door at night!”

She was relieved that Yan Jinyu was back.

This relief, coupled with the fact that it was late at night, made it easier for one’s true nature to be seen.

Yan Jinyun was her true self now.

However, Feng Yuan did not notice her current state. His attention was attracted by something else.

“Was that person the woman we saw in the hotel lobby when we were checking in this afternoon?”

Yan Jinyun looked up and stared at him. “Which woman?”

When Feng Yuan saw this, he hurriedly said innocently, “Don’t misunderstand. I didn’t notice that woman because I was paying attention to her. It was when she bumped into Wang Zhi that I unintentionally saw that Jinyu seemed to be very interested in her. Or rather, Jinyu seemed to look at this woman twice at that time, so I remembered it.”

“Sister?”

“Yes, why else would I remember an unknown woman for no reason?”

“We also heard it at that time. Tan Shiyun seemed to be talking to Jinyu about the person in the portrait. Jinyu even told you that she had met the wrong person.” action

“I just looked at this woman twice unconsciously.”

“She looks like she just came back from outside. It’s so late at night. Isn’t she afraid to go out alone?”

“How did you know that she went out alone? What if someone accompanied her?”

“I’ll go back to my room first. You should go back and sleep too. Don’t interfere in other people’s matters. Otherwise, it’ll be very difficult to settle trouble when we’re unfamiliar with this place.”

Although she said that, Yan Jinyun was actually very curious too.

She was curious about whether the person in Yan Jinyu’s painting was this woman and why she came back so late.

“Mm-hm.” After sending Yan Jinyun back to her room, Feng Yuan glanced at Yan Jinyu’s closed door and then at the door that had been slammed shut. He returned to his room with doubts in his heart.

***

On the other side, Yan Jinyu simply washed up and changed into her pajamas before lying on the bed. However, she wasn’t sleepy.

She still felt very disgusted and wanted to call Yin Jiujin.

She took out her phone and saw that it was 4:40 am.

She thought to herself,?Forget it. Yin Jiujin has been so busy recently that he probably hasn’t had a good rest. If she calls him now, she would disturb his rest.

Not only could she not call now, but even if she called Yin Jiujin tomorrow, she couldn’t mention tonight’s matter that made her very uncomfortable.

She knew Yin Jiujin well. Once he found out about this, he would definitely worry about her. Then, he would disregard his work and rush over.

And he really could not ignore the work on his hands. Even if he rushed over, he would definitely bring work over.

How tiring was that?

Hence, not only was she disgusted, but she was also a little aggrieved.

What was going on?

However, she couldn’t bear to let Yin Jiujin be so busy and travel back and forth.

Forget it, she would remember this and settle it when she returned.

And that Chu Yiran would become the second person she wanted to meet after Yu Qingwan when she went to the capital.

No, it should be said that compared to Yu Qingwan, she wanted to meet Chu Yiran first.

***

The next morning, Yan Jinyu woke up as usual.

However, she woke up at seven o’clock instead of six.

Everyone had agreed to go out at eight last night, so waking up at seven was still alright.

Yan Jinyu washed up, changed into a light casual outfit, and went out.

Although she had not slept for long, no one could tell that she had slept very late last night.

However, Tan Shiyun, Yan Jinyun, and Feng Yuan all looked like they hadn’t slept well.

After breakfast in the hotel, she was about to leave when she saw someone waiting in the hotel lobby.

It was Zero.

She had changed into ordinary sportswear and her aura was less conspicuous.

Seeing the group of people coming over, her gaze locked onto Yan Jinyu and she said respectfully, “Miss.”

Yan Jinyun, who was walking beside Yan Jinyu, was puzzled. “Sister, this… Who is she?”

The others’ gazes also landed on Zero, especially Wang Zhi. She stared at Zero for a long time before retracting her gaze calmly.

“I got a friend to help find her. She’ll be your assistant for the next year. You’ll have a lot of things to worry about while managing the company and going to school. She’s quite capable and can help you.”

“At least you’ll be much more relaxed with her help in the next year as you just took over the company.”

“Zero, this is my sister, Yan Jinyun. She’s the head of the Yan Family in North City. You’ll be her assistant for the next year.”

Zero’s gaze turned from Yan Jinyu to Yan Jinyun. Her expression was calm. “Yes.”

“Second Missy, I’m Chu Ling[1]. Please take care of me for next year.” Although she was introducing herself, she was expressionless and still gave people a sense of oppression.

Yan Jinyun looked at Yan Jinyu and then at Chu Ling, “Then, I’ll have to trouble you for the next year.”

After saying that, Yan Jinyun looked at Yan Jinyu.

She didn’t know why Yan Jinyu suddenly found such a person to follow her around. If she was just looking for an assistant for her, there was no need for her to specially come to Sass City to look for her.

Since she was waiting here early in the morning, it was most likely related to her that Yan Jinyu went out last night.

Regardless of whether this person was a real assistant or using the identity of an assistant as a cover to follow her around, she was very happy.

This meant that Yan Jinyu cared about her.

However, no one saw Yan Jinyu raise her eyebrows when she heard Chu Ling’s self-introduction.

This was actually the first time she knew Zero’s full name.

Surnamed Chu?

Wasn’t it too much of a coincidence?

She glanced at Wang Zhi seemingly unintentionally.

Wang Zhi didn’t have any reaction. Just like the others, she seemed to be a little surprised that she found an assistant for Yan Jinyun when they came out to play.

“Since you’re here, follow us for the rest of the journey.”

“Yes, Miss.”

The few of them walked towards the hotel entrance together. The car that they had rented for the entire day was already waiting outside the hotel.

As soon as they turned to leave, someone walked out of the elevator.

It was the short-haired and cold woman from yesterday. She was dragging a luggage bag.

Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks and looked at Yan Jinyu and the rest’s retreating backs.

At first, she was staring at Yan Jinyu. Then, she looked at Chu Ling, who had already started working and was half a step behind Yan Jinyun.

She frowned deeply.

“Miss, are you checking out?”

The front desk called back her thoughts.

“Yes.” Her tone was filled with impatience. She must be in a bad mood.

Just as she turned to settle the checkup procedures, Yan Jinyu, who was walking towards the hotel door, suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her.

The emotions in her eyes were unknown.

“Jinyu, what’s wrong?” Tan Shiyun asked.

“Nothing. Let’s go.”

[1] “Ling” means zero in Chinese.
