Her emotions did not change at all, as if she did not hear their conversation.
In fact, she would not have said such words if she had not heard the conversation.
The two of them looked at each other. Her attitude towards them was very strange. Even if she wasnât angry, this shouldnât be her reaction if she was a normal person who was ignored by her biological parents after leading a wandering life for many years before returning home.
She acted like she didnât care about their attitude towards her.
Did she really not care? Or was she so innocent that she could not feel their dislike for her?
The two of them couldnât figure it out.
However, no matter what the reason was, the fact that she could still talk to them with a smile on her face after hearing their conversation gave them an indescribable sense of strangeness.
However, this strange feeling was quickly ignored because the two of them agreed with what she said.
Indeed, the fact that Master Nine had personally sent her back to the Yan Family had probably alarmed many people. The Yan Family was also the number one family in North City. How could the families not pay attention to the fact that Master Nine had personally found the eldest daughter of the Yan Family?
After one night, most of the respectable families in North City would have already known that the eldest daughter of the Yan Family grew up in an orphanage. She was a country girl who quit school to work after graduating from junior high.
They were already disgraced.
At this thought, their expressions turned sullen again.
âHmph! Youâre proud instead of being ashamed!â Fu Ya didnât want to find a teacher for Yan Jinyu. However, it was one thing if she didnât want to, it was another thing if Yan Jinyu wasnât willing.
From her point of view, Yan Jinyu telling them directly that there was no need for her to look for a teacher meant that she did not want to improve herself. She did not take her ignorance and experience as a disgrace and instead she took pride in it.
She disliked Yan Jinyu even more.
Yan Jinyu looked at her with a faint smile. âMom, are you saying this now because youâve forgotten who caused me to lead such a life all these years? If the person Mom and Dad saved back then was me, would I have suffered so?â
The two of them were in the wrong and hence they did not know how to respond to her.
Yan Qingyu finally spoke after a long while, âSince you have your memories from back then, you should know that the Yan Family couldnât fork out that much ransom back then. We did let you down by saving Yunâer and not you, but as a member of the Yan Family, you should also bear some responsibility. Itâs your duty to sacrifice yourself to protect the Yan Family at the moment of life and death.â
Yan Jinyuâs eyes darkened, and she changed her posture. She crossed her legs and supported her chin with one hand while her other hand tapped lightly on the table. She said rather nonchalantly, âIn a moment of life and death? The Yan Family is the number one family in Northern City, but are we actually so weak? Itâs just a shortage of funds, and itâs a matter of life and death?â
Yan Qingyu choked and he suddenly didnât dare to meet her eyes for some reason.
He did not know if it was because he felt guilty or because her nonchalant attitude made him feel uneasy.
âA mere 100 million dollar ransom is not enough to make the Yan Family go bankrupt. Besides, with the Yan Familyâs ability, how could you have not found someone to borrow a mere 100 million dollars? But back then, did Mom and Dad ever think of borrowing the money from someone?â
Seeing that the two of them remained quiet and avoided looking at her, Yan Jinyu chuckled again, âNo, you didnât. Or rather, you didnât even think of borrowing from someone. After you saved Yunâer, you immediately called the police. You didnât even consider whether the kidnappers would kill me because of this.â
âFather, Mother, do you want to know what the kidnappers did after you called the police back then and how I managed to escape from them? Speaking of which, if I didnât escape back then, Iâm afraid I would have died long ago. I wonder if itâs because I canât bear to part with Father and MotherâŚâ Her smile, coupled with the sound of her knocking on the table, was a little scary.
Fu Ya lost her grip on her fork and dropped it again. âStop talking, I donât want to hear it! Iâm done eating, you guys eat!â With that said, she got up and left as if she was escaping.
She bumped into Yan Jinyun, who had just gotten up and came downstairs. âMom, whatâs wrong?â
Ever since she was young, Yan Jinyun had never seen her dignified mother lose her composure like this. Her gaze landed on Yan Jinyu, who was sitting at the dining table, and her eyes narrowed into slits.
Without even thinking, she knew that it must be related to Yan Jinyu!
It seemed like she was right not to underestimate Yan Jinyu anymore. Even her mother, who had always been very stable, had lost her composure.
Seeing that it was Yan Jinyun, Fu Yaâs pale and flustered expression eased up a little. It was only then that she realized that she was actually frightened by Yan Jinyuâs words!
She was shocked.
A little girl who was her biological daughter and not even eighteen years old, could actually scare her with just one sentence. Also, that girlâs gaze earlier was so frightening⌠However, it could also just be her imagination.
This girl was too weird!
Her heart was in turmoil, but she tried her best to keep a straight face. âItâs alright. Since youâre up, go have breakfast. Iâll go upstairs to get something⌠Oh right, donât fight with her over the dining table. Youâll have to suffer for a while first. After you successfully marry into the Yin Family, weâll teach her a lesson then.â However, she didnât tell Yan Jinyun that she had told him not to provoke her because she felt that Yan Jinyu was a little strange.
Yan Jinyun only realized that Yan Jinyu was sitting in her seat when she heard that. She couldnât help but be angry.
How dare you, Yan Jinyu. Not only did she steal the status of the eldest daughter of the Yan Family, she even dared to snatch her things! She only slowly suppressed her anger after she thought about Yan Qingyuâs instructions in the study room last night.
She would definitely settle these debts one by one after Yan Jinyu followed her lead!
âI know. Donât worry, Mom. Iâm not an impulsive person. On the other hand, Mom, donât take her too seriously. At the end of the day, other than gaining Master Nineâs favor, she has no other strong points and no one to rely on.â
âHer greatest reliance is Master Nineâs favor,â Fu Ya said truthfully.
This was the truth. She had to admit it even if she didnât want to.
Yan Jinyun was rendered speechless and she took a deep breath to suppress her anger, âMom, donât worry. What kind of person is Master Nine? Why would he really take a fancy to a country bumpkin like her who grew up without any education? I heard that it was because of Old Madam Yinâs last words that Master Nine spent so much effort to find her and bring her back. Old Madam Yin was very respected by Master Nine when she was still alive. Perhaps Master Nine wanted her to rest in peace so he fulfilled her last wish. He might not have really taken a fancy to Yan Jinyu.â
âBesides, if Master Nine really took a liking to her, he wouldnât have sent her to the Yan Family the moment he found her and left her here.â
âYou do have a point.â
Obviously, they had forgotten that Yan Jinyu had only returned last night. They had also forgotten Yin Jiujinâs abnormal behavior before he left the Yan family.
Or rather, they didnât want to admit it, so they automatically ignored it.
âSo we donât have to worry too much. Even if Master Nine really likes her, so what? We all know what the Yin Family is? Would they let a country bumpkin like her into the family? After Old Madam Yin passed away, Master Nineâs mother was in charge of the Yin Family. Sheâs not someone who is easy to get along with.â
Fu Ya had thought of that too.
âYouâre right. The person who has a relationship with your grandmother is Old Madam Yin, not the current wife of the head of the Yin Family. I heard that the current wife of the head of the Yin family already has a potential daughter-in-law that she likes. A country girl wonât be able to get any good reaction from her.â However, she forgot that if Yan Jinyu couldnât get anything good from her, it would also be the same with Yan Jinyun.
However, even if Fu Ya had forgotten, Yan Jinyun hadnât. The first lady of the Yin Family had always looked down on her. In her eyes, the Yan Family was just a small family.
Yan Jinyunâs expression turned a little grim as she thought about it. She didnât want to discuss this matter anymore. âAlright, Mom. You can go upstairs. Iâm going to have breakfast now.â
