Chapter 158 - The People From The Yin Family

Therefore, she didn't see a hint of sadness flash past Yin Jiujin's eyes the moment she looked away.

Of course, this emotion quickly flashed past Yin Jiujin's eyes. Even if Min Qinglan stared at him, she might not notice it because the other three people in the living room didn't notice it either.

However, Yan Jinyu did. She had sensed the change in his mood from the change in Yin Jiujin's grip on her waist.

When she looked at Min Qinglan with smiling eyes, her gaze was a little cold.

She had always only acknowledged the person she wanted to protect. She wouldn't care about the other party's ident.i.ty.

Not to mention others, she even looked at Old Master Yin with a dimmed gaze when she found out that he had a conflict with Yin Jiujin.

If it wasn't for the fact that she later saw Old Master Yin and Yin Jiujin's way of interacting, as well as the fact that Old Master Yin treated her completely like a grandfather treating a granddaughter, her att.i.tude towards Old Master Yin wouldn't have changed.

Min Qinglan didn't dare to meet Yin Jiujin's gaze, but that didn't mean that she didn't dare to look at Yan Jinyu.

After looking away from Yin Jiujin, her gaze landed on Yan Jinyu.

The weather was turning cold, but there was an air conditioner in the room, so the girl was wearing a pink long dress. Her long hair reached her waist, and she looked pretty good. She had a very clean smile on her face, and at first glance, she gave people a good impression.

She was not as unpresentable as she thought.

However, this was not enough. A marriage without a compatible family background, how many of them could last?

Besides, apart from her family background, this girl was also not worthy of the Yin Family.

A girl who had led a wandering life for many years and grew up in the countryside without her parents' love and only had a junior high education. No matter how good her appearance was, she wasn't compatible with her son.

Jin'er was born in the Yin Family. His brother had shouldered the family's mission. What he needed to do was grow up under the endless love of his family.

However, Jin'er was an accomplished person. He insisted on joining the army at the age of eight and even became famous in the army.

Although Jin'er insisted on retiring later on, he had also made a name for himself after transferring to the business world. Up until now, others respected Jin'er even more than his father and brother.

The word "outstanding" was not even enough to describe such a Jin'er.

Only a girl with a good family background was worthy of him.

As she thought about it, Min Qinglan already didn't think highly of Yan Jinyu. Her gaze then landed on the bruise on her neck.

She frowned deeply.

The daughter of a good family wouldn't be so loose!

When she saw that there were also marks on Yin Jiujin's neck and collarbones, Min Qinglan's "still okay" att.i.tude towards Yan Jinyu went to "dislike" and then finally to "disgust".

Her son was very disciplined. He had never played outside for so many years.

How long had it been since the eldest daughter of the Yan Family returned to North City? Not only did they start to cohabit, but she even made her son become like this!

When had Jin'er ever slept until noon?

They had rushed over from the early morning flight in the capital, but he was still not up!

She was only 18 years old. What would happen if she really married into the Yin Family in the future?

She looked pure, but she did not expect her to be so seductive. It seemed like her inner self wasn't as simple as she looked.

She had seen many pretentious girls in this circle.

They could only cheat the men.

They could not cheat her!

"Are you the eldest daughter of the Yan Family, Yan Jinyu?" With Old Master Yin pa.s.sing on Yin Jiujin's words previously, no matter how much Min Qinglan disliked Yan Jinyu, she didn't dare to show it on her face.

Yan Jinyu looked at her and was about to speak when someone beat her to it.

Qin Jianjia stood up and smiled kindly and elegantly at Yan Jinyu, "You're Yu'er? You're indeed as Grandfather said. You're very beautiful and likable."

Min Qinglan glanced at Qin Jianjia, but she didn't say anything in the end.

She knew that Qin Jianjia was reminding her of the words Old Master had told her before they set off for North City.

He said that if anyone provoked Yan Jinyu in North City and angered Jin'er, they would get lost from the Yin Family.

She didn't know what Old Master liked about Yan Jinyu. She was clearly just a daughter from a small family who wasn't even favored!

It was all the old lady's fault. Why did she have to arrange a betrothal for no reason! Fine, it was settled. Why did she go for such an unpresentable small family?

There were many families in the capital that were more suitable for marriage than the Yan Family!

Of course, she wasn't going to force Jin'er to accept the girl that she preferred. After all, Jin'er was her son. She could still tell who was more important to her.

She just wanted Jin'er to choose a girl with a good family background.

She might not have to be what she liked, but she had to be what she felt was worthy of Jin'er.

"I'm Qin Jianjia, Jin'er's sister-in-law. You can call me sister-in-law like Jin'er."

Min Qinglan was about to voice her disapproval after Qin Jianjia finished speaking. Qin Jianjia hurriedly shook her head at her before she reluctantly retracted the words that she was about to say.

Of course, Yan Jinyu saw their interaction, but she wasn't concerned. She glanced at Yin Jiujin and saw that he wasn't unhappy after hearing Qin Jianjia's words.

In other words, he actually had a good relations.h.i.+p with his sister-in-law Qin Jianjia, or even more precisely, with his brother Yin Yuhan.

She then smiled at Qin Jianjia, "h.e.l.lo, Sister-in-law. I'm Yan Jinyu."

Her confident att.i.tude stunned Qin Jianjia, and the kind and dignified smile on her face became more sincere. "You and Jin'er should be hungry, right? I think Aunt Cheng has already cooked. We shall talk after you and Jin'er have eaten."

"Yes, Sister-in-law, you guys haven't had lunch either, right? If you don't mind, we can all eat together."

If someone was kind to her, she would repay with kindness.

However, when she said this, not only was Qin Jianjia stunned, but everyone present, including Yin Jiujin, stared at her.

She spoke casually, and it was just because of her using such a casual tone to say these words, she brought out the air of the mistress of the house. As for Qin Jianjia and the others, they seemed to be just guests of Mount Jing.

Qin Jianjia didn't say anything, but she had a better impression of Yan Jinyu.

It was precisely because she had the airs of a mistress and did not give in that she wouldn't be at a disadvantage when she married into the Yin Family in the future, regardless of whether she faced the Yin Family or outsiders.

Indeed, Qin Jianjia was an understanding person. Or rather, she knew Yin Jiujin well enough to know that since Yan Jinyu was someone he had decided on, no one could influence his decision.

Rather than making a scene like eight years ago, it was better to follow Jin'er's wishes.

Speaking of eight years ago, she had yet to marry into the Yin Family. To her, Jin'er was one of her own, while the other members of the Yin Family were outsiders.

Because Jin'er was her younger brother's best friend, and she wasn't with Yin Yuhan at that time.

Yin Wuzhan and Yin Yuhan only glanced at Yan Jinyu. They didn't say anything and their emotions didn't change much.

Only Min Qinglan disliked Yan Jinyu even more. She felt that Yan Jinyu couldn't recognize her ident.i.ty. She had yet to marry into the Yin Family, but she was already putting on airs. The people whom she was treating as an outsider were still Jin'er's family!

As for Yin Jiujin, as he looked at Yan Jinyu's exquisite side profile, the bad feeling that he had suppressed in his heart earlier dissipated just like that.

There was a faint smile in his eyes. Clearly, he was very satisfied with Yan Jinyu, who had unintentionally put on airs of the mistress.

"Of course not. It's been a long time since I ate Aunt Cheng's food. I'm craving it."

"Jin'er," Yin Wuzhan said indifferently to Yin Jiujin.

Yin Jiujin didn't respond. He only slowly looked up.

His expression was calm.

"Are you planning to celebrate your birthday alone if we don't come to North City? It's already been so many years, but you still remember what happened back then? You haven't returned to the Yin Family for your birthday in eight years."

"I'm not alone," Yin Jiujin said.

He pulled Yan Jinyu to his side. "I have my fiancée accompanying me."

While Yin Wuzhan was stunned, Yin Jiujin spoke again with a serious tone, "Let me formally introduce you. My fiancée, Yan Jinyu. She is also the wife I will spend the rest of my life with in the future."

It was an introduction, but also a disguised reminder and warning.

Yin Wuzhan and Yin Yuhan finally began to seriously size Yan Jinyu up.

Old Master Yin went back and told them that Yan Jinyu was Yin Jiujin's acknowledged fiancée. The impact on them wasn't as big as when Yin Jiujin personally said that.

Furthermore, Yin Jiujin had said it in such a serious tone.

The two of them understood Yin Jiujin and knew that since he had taken a fancy to her, she definitely wasn't too bad.

Indeed, Yan Jinyu's expression didn't change at all when she saw the sharp gazes of the father and son. She still had a smile on her face.

A sincere and clean smile.

Such a person was either very innocent or very unfathomable and kept her thoughts to herself.

Either way, it was very satisfying.

An innocent person had her advantages while a shrewd person had her advantage too. Both were better than being a schemer without brains.

After all, she would not cause trouble if she wasn't shrewd. She would have the ability to protect herself if she was. She wasn't like someone who was scheming and yet had no brains. She would only cause trouble but had no ability to resolve it.

The two of them were satisfied, but Min Qinglan was not.

She felt that Yin Jiujin had been bewitched by Yan Jinyu.

However, no matter how dissatisfied she was, she didn't dare refute Yin Jiujin at this moment.

"She's a good girl," Yin Wuzhan said.

Then, he looked at Yin Jiujin and continued, "Dad trusts your judgment. Since you've decided, find a time to bring her back to the Yin Family for a visit."

Without waiting for Yin Jiujin to reply, he smiled and asked Yan Jinyu, "Little girl, do you want to go to the Yin Family to take a look?"

After Yin Wuzhan asked that, the three of them, including Min Qinglan, all looked at Yan Jinyu.

Min Qinglan couldn't care less about her dislike for Yan Jinyu. Her eyes were filled with antic.i.p.ation when she looked at her.

They all knew that if Yan Jinyu said that she wanted to go, she definitely wouldn't be going alone.

At that time, Yin Jiujin would return to the Yin Family.

Qin Jianjia exchanged a look with Yin Yuhan and quickly struck while the iron was hot. "That's right. Does Yu'er want to go to the Yin Family to play for a few days? I was just worried that I wouldn't have anyone to talk to at home every day. I grew up in the capital and am familiar with the capital. I can even bring you to some fun places." She had her own job. She was actually making it up by saying that no one would talk to her at home.

"Jin'er lived at home until he was eight years old. There are many photos of him when he was young at home," Yin Yuhan answered.

At first, Yan Jinyu didn't have any reaction after hearing what the others said. However, after hearing Yin Yuhan's words, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Photos of Yin Jiujin when he was young?

She really wanted to see them!
