Chapter 27: Going Back On Their Words
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Before Yan Jinyu came back, her mother had always told her that she would marry into the Yin Family in the future and become the daughter-in-law of the Yin Family. That was the Yin Family in the capital, and that person was the high and mighty Master Nine! Her mother had told her more than once how glorious she would be after marrying Master Nine, and the Yan Family’s status would also rise to a higher level…

How could she not yearn for it?
And all of this was ruined by Yan Jinyu’s sudden return!
1
Not only that, everyone who met her in school would ask her about Yan Jinyu now. Even the few people who were on very good terms with her were also asking that. Everyone was asking how the Yan Family would compensate Yan Jinyu for all her hardships all these years. They even asked if her parents would give all their love to Yan Jinyu because they owed her and ignored her. Even her status as the heir might be affected…
She was so annoyed that she wished that Yan Jinyu would disappear immediately. How could she be soft-hearted because of Yan Jinyu’s words?
However, although she admitted that she was not a kind person, this was the first time she had done something like this.
She should have been at ease…
It was all Yan Jinyu’s fault for saying that she wanted to protect her. She had known so many people in her life, but no one had ever told her that they wanted to protect her.
What right did Yan Jinyu have to say that?
What abilities did she have to protect her?!
Seeing that she had put down her bag and was about to climb into the driver’s seat, Yan Jinyu’s eyes darkened. “Don’t do anything stupid. Don’t you realize that the road behind us is blocked?”
Yan Jinyun froze.
If not for her sharp senses, she wouldn’t have sensed that something was wrong with Yan Jinyun on the way here. Seeing Yan Jinyun like this, even Yan Jinyu would have suspected that she wasn’t the one who engaged these people at all.
Didn’t she know how many people she got and how were they going to ambush them?
Yan Jinyun sat back down in a flurry with a flustered face, “I-I didn’t pay much attention. T-then what should we do now?”
“I don’t have any power or influence, and I’m not familiar with North City either. You’re asking me what I should do? Shouldn’t you be calling for help at a time like this? The phone signal isn’t blocked.”
“You can’t call for help! No, I mean, it’s too late even if you call for help.” Someone was knocking on the car window.
She was the one who engaged these people. If she called them for help, then wouldn’t her hard-earned reputation be ruined? That was the reputation she had built up after years of suppressing her temper! She had endured for so many years, and she didn’t want to ruin it all.
Her mother said that she was the daughter of the Yan Family, and the Yan Family was the number one family in North City. She had to be the model of all the well-bred ladies and make everyone follow her lead. Only then would her status not be shaken, and it would be easier for her to take over the Yan Family or marry into the Yin Family in the capital.
Her temper was actually not good at all. She did not like to dress up in a white dress and act like a weak and demure lady all day. She did not like those people who seemed to be fawning on her but were speaking ill of her behind her back. They did not treat her sincerely at all…
She had endured all these unpleasant things for so many years.
She did not want to ruin the good reputation that she had gained with so much difficulty.
Her mother said that one had to be ruthless. Only the things they held in their hands were theirs. Once someone threatened their interests, even the people closest to them would not be shown any mercy.

Being born in a family like theirs, she knew that her mother was right. She had always remembered these principles…
However, at this point in time, she did not seem to be as ruthless as she thought, and she was clearly not a good person.
What was this then?
Trying to have her cake and eat it too?
The knocking on the car window became louder and louder. One of them even picked up a steel pipe and smashed it on the car while cursing. However, the car’s soundproofing was good, so they couldn’t hear what they were saying.
Without thinking, Yan Jinyun said to Yan Jinyu, “Stay in the car and don’t get down!”
1
After saying that, she opened the car door and got out. She seemed to be still worried and shouted into the car, “Don’t get down!” Then, she closed the door with a bang.
Yan Jinyu looked at the closed car door and pursed her lips.
She didn’t get down and she took a sip of yogurt instead.
After drinking so much, her stomach did feel a little uncomfortable.
She stopped drinking after taking that sip and simply held it in her hand.
She hated using her brain the most. However, her brain seemed to be spinning non-stop. She did not know what exactly she was thinking… she simply felt a little frustrated and weird.
Outside the car, Yan Jinyun, who had closed the door, said to the group of people. “Stop smashing!”
“Yo, it’s a pretty little sister.” The one who spoke was a man with a full beard and a scar on his face. The beard on his face and his permed and dyed blonde hair made it hard for people to tell his age.
Yan Jinyun frowned, “Who’s your sister?!” She glanced at the car beside her. Although she knew that she couldn’t hear anything from the outside, she still couldn’t help but lower his voice. “It’s me who called you. Something happened today, so you don’t have to do what I told you to do. I’ll give you the rest of the money. Leave now, don’t block the way.”
The chauffeur looked at her in disbelief. “Second Missy, did you get these people…”
Yan Jinyun glared at him and the chauffeur quickly shut up.
Since these people were hired by the Second Missy, their purpose was self-evident. They knew that the Second Missy was not as kind and harmless as she seemed on the surface, but they did not expect her to be so ruthless.
“So it’s Little Sister who called me! I knew it was a rich girl, but I didn’t expect her to be so pretty.”
The bearded man spat out the toothpick in his mouth, “Little girl, although I’m very happy to receive money without doing anything, this is different from what we agreed on. I’ve mobilized so many brothers today. Little girl, just that little bit of money isn’t enough.”
Yan Jinyun’s heart trembled, “What do you mean?”
“Little girl, don’t play dumb. There aren’t many rich kids like you who are dumb. I don’t believe you didn’t understand what I said. You don’t look like someone who is short of 100,000 or 80,000 dollars. The price we agreed on previously was 100,000 dollars. I don’t want to make things difficult for you since you are pretty. If you take out another one million dollars, I will immediately make way for you.”

“You want to break the contract? We agreed on a 100,000, but now you want to extort a million from me. Is this your professional ethics?!” Yan Jinyun looked calm on the surface, but she was actually panicking inside.
“Hahaha! Little girl, aren’t you too naive? Talking about professional ethics with your big brother? Big brother doesn’t have that kind of thing. Cut the crap! One million. I’ll make way for you if you give me money!”
Yan Jinyun looked at the car and four men blocking the road in front of him. When he turned back, there was another car and five men blocking the road.

She gritted her teeth in regret.
If she had known earlier, she would have just acted according to the original plan. She shouldn’t have gotten soft-hearted at the last minute. Now, she was going to ruin herself too!
She had gotten out of the car in a hurry just now. Her bag was still in the car and her phone was in her bag. She couldn’t even call for help even if she wanted to.
She hoped that Yan Jinyu would be smart enough to call for help in the car.
Although this might ruin her reputation, it was better than dying here today.
She did not think that these people could be dismissed with a million dollars now that things had developed to this point.
“Aren’t you afraid that you won’t get to spend the money that you will get from me?”
