Yan Jinyu played with her long hair, and her every move was charming.
When Yan Jinyun saw this, her smile froze.
Yan Jinyu—who was wearing a floral dress and had long, naturally curly hair that reached her waist— had an exquisite face. She was playing with her phone with one hand, and her other hand was casually playing with her long hair. Yan Jinyu, who was walking over slowly with a faint smile, suddenly gave her a huge sense of danger.
Yan Jinyun was not stupid. She knew very well that others might not be able to see her even if she stood together with Yan Jinyu. What’s more, she wanted Master Nine to pay attention to her and not Yan Jinyu.
Master Nine was such a character that even her father would have a hard time meeting him. Yet, he was willing to accompany Yan Jinyu to go shopping.
No matter why Master Nine accompanied Yan Jinyu, it was enough to prove that Yan Jinyu was special in Master Nine’s heart.
Apart from being uneducated and lazy, Yan Jinyu had both looks and brains. In that case, could her previous plan of gaining Yan Jinyu’s trust so that Yan Jinyu would listen to her and then she could get close to Master Nine through her and gain his trust, really going to work?
No, she could not place all her hopes on that!
Yan Jinyu was too big of a threat to her.
She could forget about Master Nine, but if Yan Jinyu threatened her position as the successor of the Yan family…
Perhaps she had to change her method which could gain Yan Jinyu’s trust and yet make Yan Jinyu lose the right to stay by Master Nine’s side or fight with her for the inheritance rights.
Yan Qingyu stared at Yan Jinyu for a moment and said, “Since you’re here, come and sit. I have something to tell you.”
Yan Qingyu could not deny that he was very satisfied with Yan Jinyu’s dressing. After all, he would look better having a daughter with good looks and charisma.
Fu Ya sneered and looked away.
She had thought things through over the past few days. Right now, the most important thing was to think of a way to make the engagement between the Yin Family and the Yan Family fall on Yun’er’s head. She could put everything else aside temporarily, but the moment she saw Yan Jinyu, she couldn’t hold back her anger, especially when she was wearing a long dress and looked elegant.
In the past, Fu Ya did not understand why she did not like this elder daughter of hers. Now, looking at her outfit, Fu Ya finally found the reason.
She looked too much like her mother-in-law, whom she had never gotten along with!
Her mother-in-law was already very dissatisfied with her before she married into the Yan Clan. With her mother-in-law’s obstruction, she might not have been able to marry into the Yan Clan if Yan Qingyu didn’t insist on marrying her back then.
Even after she had successfully married into the Yan family, her mother-in-law would always show her a sullen face. The person she hated the most in her life was none other than her mother-in-law.
However, this daughter of hers looked like her mother-in-law since she was young. She had an unpopular personality and was a retard who could not even speak when she was two years old. She felt embarrassed and naturally did not like her.
She had already grown up and looked more like her dead mother-in-law when she returned to the Yan family now. Hence, she disliked her even more.
She had seen a picture of her mother-in-law when she was young. She looked exactly like Yan Jinyu, who was dressed in a long dress.
It would be weird if she liked her.
However, even though they didn’t like her, Yun’er had reminded her more than once that Master Nine valued this girl and they had to endure her for now.
If she had to endure her, so be it. If she could endure her mother-in-law for so many years, how could she not endure Yan Jinyu for a period of time?
Fu Ya only remembered that her mother-in-law, Feng Yan, was dissatisfied with her, but she had never thought why Feng Yan was dissatisfied with her. Feng Yan could be good friends with the old lady of the Yin Family for a lifetime, so how bad could her judgment of people be?
Of course, Fu Ya was the cause that she didn’t like her.
“Daddy, do you have something to tell Sister?” After asking, before Yan Qingyu could reply, Yan Jinyun waved at Yan Jinyu. “Sister, come over and sit.” As she spoke, he patted the seat beside him.
Yan Jinyu walked over, but she didn’t sit beside her. Instead, she sat down on the single-seater sofa that was a little far away from them.
No matter how their expressions changed, Yan Jinyu simply leaned lazily on the sofa. “Dad, if there’s anything, just say it out.”
Yan Jinyun felt that the Yan Jinyu today had an indescribable weirdness, but she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was.
Just looking at it made her feel uneasy.
Yan Jinyun wasn’t the only one who felt this way. Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya felt the same way too.
Their gazes were all on Yan Jinyu. However, no matter how they looked at her, other than the fact that she looked a little pretty today in a long dress with her hair let down, she looked no different from the day she returned to the Yan Family.
The smile on her face was as innocent and harmless as ever, and her eyes were as clear as ever.
Were they thinking too much?
In reality, they didn’t overthink about it. Yan Jinyu was indeed a little different today. The reason was she had already finished the yogurt that Yin Jiujin had bought for her last night. Many years ago on this day, this was the first time she had killed someone during the killer training on this.
At that time, she threw up everything in her stomach.
She was not even six years old that year.
Without yogurt, she could not suppress the frustration in her heart. She did not want to reveal her other side in front of others, but no matter how hard she tried to hide it, she would still reveal some of it.
“It’s not a big deal. You’ve been back to the Yan Family for quite some time now. It’s time to go out and identify people. Yun’er is going to attend a classmate’s birthday party later. You can follow Yun’er there. It’s good for you to get to know more people.”
Yan Jinyun was about to reject him when Yan Qingyu glanced at her. Then, she retracted her words.
Between her and Yan Jinyu, her father would definitely side with her and not Yan Jinyu. She was still confident about this. Then, her father’s suggestion was not for Yan Jinyu’s sake, but to give her a chance to get close to Yan Jinyu.
“Daddy’s suggestion is good. Why didn’t I think of it?” She looked at Yan Jinyu and smiled graciously. “Sister, you’ll get sick if you stay at home all the time. Usually, I have to go to class, so I don’t have time to accompany you. Now that I don’t have classes on Sunday, and it’s my classmate’s birthday party, I can bring you out to play and introduce you to a few friends that I’m close to.”
Fu Ya wanted to object, but when she saw that Yan Jinyun agreed, she changed the tone. “Yun’er and your father are right. It’s time for you to go out for a walk. I don’t want to have a daughter who hides herself from view!” Yan Jinyu didn’t react, but Yan Qingyu and Yan Jinyun frowned at her. Fu Ya quickly added, “What I mean is, it’s better to go out more than to stay at home. Since Yun’er is willing to bring you out to see the world, you should go.”
Fu Ya’s tone wasn’t very good. From their few interactions, Yan Qingyu and Yan Jinyun thought that Yan Jinyu wouldn’t agree. However, they saw her smile. “Sure.”
She actually agreed.
She stood up and said, “Since you’re bringing me to see the world, let’s go now.” Without the yogurt in her hands, she could no longer suppress the frustration in her heart.
“Now?” Yan Jinyun looked at the time. “It’s only 10 am now. The birthday party will only start at 5 pm. It’s too early. Besides, I haven’t changed my clothes or put on makeup yet.”
Yan Jinyu was getting a little impatient. “Are you changing and putting on makeup at home to attend someone else’s birthday party?”
Yan Jinyun was a little frightened by her gaze. “Not… not really.” She frowned as she ignored that strange feeling. “But I’m meeting the stylist at 1 pm.”
“Then, I shall go somewhere else first. Since I’m not familiar with North City, I can use this opportunity to get to know it better.” Seeing that both Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya were looking at her disapprovingly, as if they were about to speak, she interrupted, “Either we leave together now, or I leave first.”
