Chapter 296: Two Sisters

In a room on the second floor of the Yan Family in North City.

Yan Jinyun had already changed into her sleeping robe and she put on a jacket as she stood by the window.

Hearing Yan Jinyu ask her in a concerned tone, her heart suddenly felt bitter.

“I’m fine,” Yan Jinyun said.

“I just want to ask you. You definitely have to have a reunion dinner with the Yin Family for the new year. Did anyone make things difficult for you?”

“Of course, I’m not concerned about you. I just don’t want you to embarrass our Yan Family in someone else’s house. If you’re put in a spot by someone, don’t endure it alone. Although the Yan Family is far inferior to the Yin Family, we still have the right to make an appearance. After all, Grandmother is an old friend of the Yin Family’s Old Madam. If the Yan Family really goes to argue with them, the Yin Family won’t be too difficult because they will give the Yan Family some face. It’s better than facing it alone.”

“I’ll emphasize it again. Don’t misunderstand. I’m not concerned about you. It’s all for the Yan Family’s face.”

Yan Jinyu fell silent and leaned lazily against the headboard. She held the phone to her ear with one hand and caressed the person’s hair with the other.

“Yes, there’s no misunderstanding. I know you’re doing this for the Yan Family.”

Yan Jinyun choked.

She was angry.

Yan Jinyu believed her just like that?

Wasn’t she quite smart and capable? Why did she believe everything she said?

Yan Jinyun suddenly thought of something and her lively expression darkened again.

Actually, that wasn’t the entire reason why she called Yan Jinyu. She just suddenly wanted to call her.

Ever since she took over the Yan Corporation, the atmosphere at home…

Her mother had been sarcastic to her at the beginning, and her father had been cold to her. Now, her mother had probably realized the truth and started to curry favor with her.

Yes, curry favor.

Who would feel comfortable if a mother curry favor with her biological daughter?

She made eating a New Year’s Eve meal seem like a company gathering. She carefully bootlicked her.

She really wanted to ask her mother what gave her the impression that if she did not please her, she would not be able to stay in this house?

Her father did not curry favor with her like her mother, but he was still cold to her.

She did not snatch her father’s shares and even managed the company properly so that her father would get more dividends at the end of the year. She felt that she had already done enough.

However, it had been months, but her father was still cold to her.

It should be a New Year’s Eve meal but they were either currying favor or being cold and violent. She was so annoyed that she could not even eat.

She couldn’t figure it out. The Yan Corporation would be hers sooner or later. Couldn’t she take over earlier and let her father retire and relax?

Other families wished for their children to be outstanding. Some parents even threatened and bribed them to enter the company to help.

There were many families that she knew had this situation.

Wasn’t it good that the child was outstanding?

If she had a child who could take on the big responsibility, she would just throw the company to the child and go live carefreely.

She knew that her father was angry that she had taken over his power. However, if she didn’t do that at that time, the Yan Family would have been destroyed. Could it be that after so long, her father still hadn’t seen through it?

She felt a little pathetic.

It was said that her parents doted on her since she was young, but what about now? She simply took over the Yan Corporation in advance for the Yan Family’s sake and the love her parents had for her in the past no longer existed.

Up until now, she still felt stifled in her heart. It was so stifling that she felt uncomfortable, but she did not even have someone to confide in.

She could look for Feng Yuan, but Feng Yuan’s meaning was different. Feng Yuan was her boyfriend… Oh, not yet.

Feng Yuan was not much older than her. Now that he had just joined his company so he was under a lot of pressure.

She didn’t want to bother him with these troublesome matters now.

Perhaps in a few years, when Feng Yuan became stronger and could completely take charge, she would choose to rely on him, but not now.

In the end, she called Yan Jinyu.

It wasn’t to say anything. It was precisely at this moment that she realized that the only person she could find was Yan Jinyu.

Yan Jinyu was clearly the one who had no one to rely on and she was the head of the Yan Corporation and the top socialite in North City. She should be stronger than Yan Jinyu, but…

She actually wanted to rely on Yan Jinyu for a moment and tell her everything in her heart.

Fortunately, she was still rational and didn’t do that. Otherwise, how embarrassing would it be?

She was no longer the delicate girl who lived under her parents’ protection. She was the head of the Yan Corporation and the head of the Yan Family now.

Although she thought so, she still said, “When will Sister return to North City?”

It seemed like a normal question, but Yan Jinyun was actually a little frustrated after asking it.

Why did it feel like she was very clingy and wanted to see Yan Jinyu desperately?

“Tomorrow,” Yan Jinyu said.

“I’ll go to the Yan Family tomorrow and give you New Year’s red-envelope money.”

“…” Yan Jinyun.

“Who wants your New Year’s red-envelope money! Am I a child?”

“Whether you’re a child or not, you still have to call me Elder Sister.”

“…” Yan Jinyun.

“Up to you!” The corners of her lips could not help but curl up. She quickly suppressed it when she reacted.

She didn’t admit that she was a little happy.

“I’m hanging up!”

“Yun’er.”

Yan Jinyun’s hand that was about to hang up halted.

“It’s only 10 am. Let’s ask Cousin Feng Yuan out to watch the fireworks. I heard that North City’s Times Square will set off many fireworks every New Year’s Eve. It’s very dazzling and many people will go to watch it. I grew up outside and have never seen the fireworks in North City’s Times Square. Go take a few photos and send them to me to take a look.”

“You’re right. I want to see it myself but I’m not in North City. You’re just an errand boy taking photos. Thinking that it’s not safe for you to be alone at night, I asked you to call Cousin Feng Yuan along. I still have a conscience, right?”

Yan Jinyun didn’t say anything.

She tightened her grip on the phone and pursed her lips.

“Hurry up and go. If I don’t see the photos tomorrow, your New Year’s red-envelope money will be halved.”

“…” Yan Jinyun.

“You to ask me to run errands and take photos for you so late on such a cold night. You’re really ‘kind’.” Yan Jinyun hung up “angrily”.

She stood by the window in a daze for a while before finally calling Feng Yuan.

Actually, even if she didn’t call Feng Yuan, Feng Yuan was about to call her.

Feng Yuan was actually not in the Feng Family’s residence now. He drove out after eating the New Year’s Eve meal. At this moment, he was on an empty field not far from the Yan Family’s mansion.

He had set up many fireworks there.

It was the new year, so it wasn’t good to call Yan Jinyun out. He wanted to call her and ask her to stand by the window to have a look, but he received Yan Jinyun’s call.

Of course, they couldn’t go to Times Square.

The two of them lit their own fireworks on this empty field.

On the other side, Yan Jinyu, who had hung up, placed the phone on the bedside table. The person leaning on her lap wrapped his arms around her waist and looked up at her, “Do you want to see fireworks?”

Yan Jinyu’s hand landed on his well-defined handsome face. “What’s so good about that fleeting thing?”

“If you want to see it, I can accompany you.”

The Yin Family’s mansion’s sky was filled with fireworks. One could see it when they went out.

“I don’t want to.” She really didn’t want to. The wind was cold outside. What was there to see? Instead of going out to suffer the cold wind, she might as well stay in the room.

The capital was not like North City. Winter in North City was not so cold.

Yin Jiujin held her hand and placed it to his lips. His eyes darkened as he looked at her, who was only wearing a loose sleeping robe.

“Since we don’t want to see the fireworks and it’s still early, let’s do something else.”

As he spoke, he rolled over and trapped her.

“Didn’t you just…”

Before she could finish speaking, Yan Jinyu’s lips were covered.

“That was just now. The long night is just beginning.”

***

The next day.

Yin Jiujin got someone to change their flight tickets back to North City for the afternoon’s flight.

Yan Jinyu didn’t feel energetic at all when she woke up in the afternoon. Yin Jiujin was the one who fed her lunch.

She reluctantly took a shower and changed before Yin Jiujin carried her into the car.

In the car, she lay on Yin Jiujin’s lap and fell asleep again.

Other than waking up in a daze and being led by Yin Jiujin when she boarded the plane at the airport, Yan Jinyu was always asleep.

She had such a good physique, so it was obvious how long Yin Jiujin had “tortured” her last night.

Cheng Lin had already returned to North City in advance to keep Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng company for the new year, so he drove to the airport to pick them up.

Lin Zimu, who was accompanying them, placed the luggage in the trunk. One of them sat in the driver’s seat while the other sat in the front passenger seat. They drove towards the Yan Family.

In the backseat, Yan Jinyu was curled up in the seat. Her head was leaning on Yin Jiujin’s lap, and she was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed.

Yin Jiujin was reading the document Cheng Lin had just handed over.

After reading the page, he looked down at the girl leaning on his lap and smiled.

He seemed to be in a good mood.

When they were about to reach the Yan Family, Yin Jiujin woke Yan Jinyu softly, “Little Yu’er, we’re here.”

Although Yan Jinyu was tired and sleepy, she slept for a few hours after all. She had mostly recovered now.

She was already vigilant, so it was naturally impossible for her not to hear Yin Jiujin’s voice.

She rubbed her eyes and slowly opened them.

“We’ve arrived?” She was still a little confused.

Yin Jiujin helped her up. Seeing her dazed look, he couldn’t help but lean over and peck the corner of her lips. “Yes, we’re here.”

“Are you still very tired? If you’re tired, we’ll go back to Mount Jing to rest. We’ll come back tomorrow.”

“We’re already here.” As she spoke, she patted her face to wake herself up.

The corners of Yin Jiujin’s lips twitched when he heard the slapping sounds.

He flicked her forehead. “Silly. There are many ways to wake up from your sleep. Why do you have to slap yourself in the face?”

Yan Jinyu blinked in confusion and asked, “What other way is there? There’s no water here to wash my face.”

“You don’t have to wash your face. I know another way.”

“?” Yan Jinyu was stunned. Before she could react, he held her face and kissed her.

The kiss was a little ruthless. She was indeed very awake now.

Not long after, Yan Jinyu was no longer sleepy due to the pain in her lips.

Pity the poor two third wheels sitting in front.

Lin Zimu and Cheng Lin felt their teeth ache.

Fortunately, they were gradually immune to it after seeing so much. Otherwise…

They had actually long wanted to get out of the car and not watch their public display of affection here, but they were afraid of disturbing Yin Jiujin and they would suffer. They could only suppress their presence and sit still.

After ending the kiss, Yan Jinyu glared at Yin Jiujin.

“How am I going to face anyone like this?”

Looking at her rosy lips, Yin Jiujin’s eyes darkened further and he moved his gaze away imperceptibly.

If they continued on, they might not be able to go to the Yan Family today.

“It’s fine. It’s not obvious.”

Yan Jinyu didn’t believe him.

She took out a lipstick from her small bag and applied it before getting out of the car. She didn’t forget to glare at Yin Jiujin when she got out.

Yin Jiujin followed gleefully.

He could not help himself the moment he touched her. It was not his fault.

He pressed the doorbell.

It was Zhao Ling, the Yan Family’s housekeeper.

Seeing the person standing outside the Yan Family’s mansion, Zhao Ling was shocked and took two steps back.

She was frightened.

Although Yan Jinyu had left the Yan Family for a while, the inexplicable fear in Zhao Ling’s heart for Yan Jinyu didn’t dissipate because of her departure.

“E-Eldest Missy”

Furthermore, Yin Jiujin was standing beside Yan Jinyu.

“M-Master Nine.”

She didn’t dare to say that they should wait for her to report first. She simply said, “P-please come in.” She didn’t dare to treat Yan Jinyu as an outsider in the Yan Family at all.

On the first day of the new year, other than a few servants who needed to go home for the new year, everyone in the Yan Family was all at home.

Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya were naturally there too.

Knowing that Yan Jinyu was coming back, Yan Jinyun didn’t go out for the entire day. She didn’t do anything else and just sat in the living room of the main building to watch television.

Hence, she knew immediately when Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin arrived.

She wanted to open the door for Yan Jinyu personally, but she sat back down after getting up.

She was still very frustrated when she sat back down.

She felt that this didn’t match her at all. It was as if she was very anxious to see Yan Jinyu.

Although she thought so, she couldn’t sit still in the end. She got up and prepared to wait outside the main building.

Fu Ya had been currying favor with Yan Jinyun. She had been offering her fruits and snacks and she had also sensed Yan Jinyun’s movements.

“Yun’er, is a friend visiting us?”

Yan Jinyun stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her. “It’s Sister and Master Nine.”

Fu Ya’s hands holding onto the fruit platter trembled.

A hint of disgust and fear flashed past her eyes.

It was fear for Yin Jiujin.

She quickly put down the fruit platter. “Yun’er, I suddenly remembered that I’m meeting a few friends to play cards. I have to…”
