Chapter 47: You’re Quite Bold
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As the top socialite in North City, Yan Jinyun had many suitors. The only son of the Luo Family’s second branch, Luo Yikun, was one of the craziest suitors. It could be said that everyone in North City knew how he felt about Yan Jinyun.
However, Yan Jinyun was hard to attain and she had never treated him nicely.
Speaking of which, in order to protect her good reputation, Yan Jinyun usually wouldn’t do anything that might affect her reputation. Only her attitude towards Luo Yikun was an exception.
Luo Yikun’s reputation wasn’t good to begin with. Even if she didn’t give him a good attitude, it wouldn’t affect Yan Jinyun much. One was the hard-to-attain top socialite, and the other was a second-generation heir who only knew how to eat, drink, and play, and change his girlfriend every other day. It was obvious who would be more protected by others if the two of them didn’t get along.
Yan Jinyun frowned deeply. She ignored Luo Yikun and looked at Miss Qiu instead. Her tone was still alright, and she didn’t lose her demeanor as the top socialite, “Are you trying to meet my sister, Miss?”
Miss Qiu looked at her carefully again. It was good that she wasn’t Yan Jinyu. If that was the case, the threat might not be that big.
However, she had also heard that before the eldest daughter of the Yan Family was found, the Yan Family had originally planned to let Yan Jinyun fulfill the engagement with the Yin Family on her behalf. Hence, even if she knew that Yan Jinyun wasn’t Master Nine’s fiancée, she wouldn’t give Yan Jinyun any good attitude.
“So what if it’s me! I want to see the eldest daughter of the Yan Family, not you. If you know what’s good for you, get her to come out quickly. I want to see what kind of beauty she is to actually dare to call herself Master Nine’s fiancée!”
When she said this, even Luo Yikun, who was sitting beside her, frowned in silence.
No matter how much of a bastard Luo Yikun was, he knew that Master Nine was someone he could not afford to offend.
“What do you mean by claiming to be Master Nine’s fiancée? Who doesn’t know that Jinyu and Master Nine’s engagement is legitimate! Miss, please mind your words!” Upon hearing her words, Feng Yuan no longer had the mood to consider whether he would be in trouble if he provoked the Qiu Family. He was furious.
“Miss, you’re really brave. You even dare to gossip about Master Nine.”
The girl in leather couldn’t help but shiver when she heard that. It was obvious that she was afraid of Yin Jiujin to her core.
However, she seemed to have thought of something again and the fear in her eyes disappeared in an instant. She raised her chin proudly, “Who are you?”
Feng Yuan did not miss the fear that flashed in her eyes when she heard the two words “Master Nine”. He sneered, “Why do you care who I am?! As for you, where did you come from? You actually dared to come to North City to look for trouble. Do you think that all of us who were born and raised in North City are dead?”
“Good! Very good! It’s been a long time since anyone dared to speak to me like this. You’re very brave too!”
“Thank you for the compliment. Miss, even if I had the guts, I wouldn’t find trouble with Master Nine.”
“You! Very well. I’ll remember you. The person I want to see today is Yan Jinyu. I’ll put your imprudence aside for now. After I meet Yan Jinyu, I’ll give you a chance to know the consequences of offending me!”
“The Eldest Miss Yan is here too. Why don’t I see her?” Luo Yikun said.
Luo Yikun naturally knew who came since he could get the attendant to welcome them.
Luo Yikun didn’t help Miss Qiu call Yan Jinyu because he wanted to offend Yin Jiujin. In his opinion, even if Yin Jiujin personally brought Yan Jinyu back, he might not think much of her.
He did this for three reasons.
Firstly, he wanted to curry favor with Miss Qiu in order to suck up the Qiu Family in the capital and also for this rather beautiful Miss Qiu.
Secondly, he wanted to do Yan Jinyun a favor. He had been pursuing Yan Jinyun for many years but had never succeeded. Of course, he was unwilling to accept that. Although Yan Jinyun didn’t say it, she might not like someone who might fight with her for the inheritance. They were both from families that had constant conflicts. He knew very well that no matter how kind Yan Jinyun was on the surface, when her own interests were threatened, she might not continue to show her kindness. It might be in Yan Jinyun’s heart to find some unhappiness for Yan Jinyu.
Thirdly, he purely wanted to watch a good show. After all, scenes related to that Master Nine could not be seen at all times. Of course, watching that person’s show was also risky, but as long as he was smart enough, he would not be implicated.
“Oh right, Yun’er, I forgot to introduce you. This is the eldest daughter of the Qiu Family in the capital, Qiu Jian. You’re Uncle Yan’s meticulously groomed successor. I’m sure you’ve heard of the Qiu Family in the capital.” Luo Yikun’s words were a disguised warning to Yan Jinyun by introducing Qiu Jian’s identity. Qiu Jian wasn’t someone she could provoke easily. He wanted to use this to sell a favor to Yan Jinyun.
Qiu Jian wasn’t familiar with Luo Yikun, so she naturally didn’t know what kind of person Luo Yikun was. However, because of his introduction, she raised her chin arrogantly at Yan Jinyun again. It seemed like she was saying, “If you know who I am, let’s see if you still dare to provoke me.”
“Don’t waste your breath with her. I want to see the eldest daughter of the Yan Family first.”
At this moment, a faint voice sounded, “There aren’t many people who can’t wait to see me.”
One had to know that she was the number one killer on the killer list. Most of the people she saw had died at her hands. Other than enemies who could fight it out with her, those who wanted to see her were only her grandparents and the Feng Family who had been looking for her since the early years and had never given up on finding her.
Qiu Jian was not an enemy that she could hold against her, nor was she someone who had never given up on looking for her. Yet, she wanted to see her. How should she put it? Was she tired of living?
Hearing her voice, Yan Jinyun and Feng Yuan frowned at the same time and moved aside. Hence, Yan Jinyu, who was dressed in a white t-shirt and jeans with her hair tied up in a ponytail, appeared in the vision of everyone in the private room with a clean smile on her face.
Seeing Yan Jinyu, the private room was silent for a long time.
Obviously, they didn’t expect the eldest daughter of the Yan Family to look like this.
Ever since Yan Jinyu was brought back by Yin Jiujin, the families with slightly higher status in North City had investigated her and knew what kind of life she had been living all these years. To them, Yan Jinyu was a “country bumpkin” who had never seen the world.
Although she was Yan Jinyun’s twin and her looks might not be bad, that was all. No matter what, it should be related to “uncouth”.
However, although the girl in front of him was dressed simply, both her expression and her eyes looked clean, pure and untainted by the secular world. It was obvious that she was not at all “uncouth”.
After a moment of bewilderment, Luo Yikun’s eyes lit up. Another beauty. In that case, he would soon have a new source of entertainment.
Yan Jinyu wasn’t Yan Jinyun. He couldn’t touch Yan Jinyun, who was the heir that the Yan Family had nurtured for many years but surely he could touch a daughter that wasn’t favored by the Yan Family, right?

Of course, he wouldn’t be stupid enough to make a move easily. After all, even if Yan Jinyu wasn’t favored in the Yan Family, she still had the title of Master Nine’s fiancée. He didn’t dare to act rashly. However, he wasn’t too worried either. As long as a few more people like Qiu Jian, who couldn’t bear to see Yan Jinyu and Master Nine’s engagement, appeared, Yan Jinyu’s title as Master Nine’s fiancée would be removed sooner or later. At that time, wouldn’t he be able to find an opportunity?
After the initial shock, Qiu Jian was deeply jealous.
Yan Jinyu didn’t seem to be as easy to deal with as she thought. Putting aside Yan Jinyu’s thoughts and means, just based on her looks and her attractive clean aura, she was a huge threat.
Even Zhao Yue, who was sitting at the side and only wanted to watch the show, had a flash of ruthlessness in her eyes.
One Yan Jinyun was not enough. Now, there was another Yan Jinyu. This way, when would she be able to stand out in North City!

She didn’t dare to crave for that Master Nine, but she didn’t expect that the outstanding descendants of the respectable families in North City could only see the Yan sisters and not her at all! Look at the situation now, once they appeared, Luo Yikun only had eyes for them and he was still flirting with her yesterday!
As for why Zhao Yue only hated Yan Jinyu and Yan Jinyun, but not Qiu Jian, who was fawned by Luo Yikun. It was because in her opinion, Qiu Jian would return to the capital sooner or later and wouldn’t become her threat. Even if she could become her threat, she wouldn’t dare to offend the eldest daughter of the Qiu Family in the capital.
To put it bluntly, Zhao Yue was a typical bully who would choose the softest target. However, she didn’t think clearly about the situation. No matter if it was Yan Jinyu or Yan Jinyun, they weren’t soft targets that she could bully as she pleased.
Other than Yan Jinyun, no one else took Yan Jinyu’s words to heart. Qiu Jian said with an unfriendly expression, “You’re Yan Jinyu?”
Yan Jinyu didn’t respond to her. Instead, she smiled and looked at her, “So you want to see me?”
“I heard that you have a lot of complaints about my engagement with Yin Jiujin. Do you think Yin Jiujin and I aren’t compatible? Even the current head of the Yin Family doesn’t dare to say anything about the engagement set by Old Madam Yin and my grandmother. Yet, you’re making such comments. You’re quite bold. I even admire you a little.”
