Chapter 60: A Call From Little Rain

The assistant thought for a moment and said, “Sir, didn’t you already send someone to investigate this matter a year ago? Missy was adopted by an ordinary couple in Country F for the past eleven years. Later, this couple died in a fire. Missy only returned to the country after you found her and brought her back to the Huo Family…”
“Sir, please don’t blame me for being nosy. It wasn’t easy for Miss to take the initiative to get close to you. If she finds out that you investigated her past again, I’m afraid…”
“You also know that Young Master Qin is by Missy’s side now. Missy might not know that you’re going to investigate her past again, but this matter won’t be hidden from Young Master Qin. And with Young Master Qin’s personality and his attitude towards Missy, if he knew that you’re investigating Miss’s past again, I’m afraid he wouldn’t hide it from Missy.”
The man fell silent.
“Forget it.”
He knew that it was impossible, but with his cautious nature, once he had doubts, he would definitely have to clear it up. But if Rainy found out that he went to investigate her again…
Rainy had told them in detail how she had spent all these years after she returned home. It was almost the same as what he had found. If he suspected it, it wouldn’t just be about the results of the investigation done by the man he sent, but even Rainy too.

After leaving the underground racing arena, Yan Jinyu and Yan Jinyun were still riding in Feng Yuan’s car. Hence, both of them heard it when Feng Yuan received Xu Gui’s call and was informed that Xu Xiaoxiao had fallen down the stone stairs and was now in the hospital.
They didn’t gloat over Xu Xiaoxiao’s plight, but neither were they sympathetic towards her.
From a certain perspective, Yan Jinyun and Yan Jinyu were actually similar. They wouldn’t waste their time and effort to pay attention to unimportant people.
On the other hand, when Feng Yuan heard Xu Gui’s words, he raised his eyebrows. He probably wanted to laugh, but he thought that it was a little unkind to laugh like that, so he finally stopped himself from laughing.
“I understand. Then, take good care of her. As her ex-boyfriend who just broke up with her, it’s not appropriate for me to visit her at the hospital now.”

Hearing his words, Yan Jinyu and Yan Jinyun were both a little surprised. However, after Yan Jinyu got over her surprise, she felt that Feng Yuan and Xu Xiaoxiao’s breakup was still within expectations. However, Yan Jinyun…
She didn’t know if it was because she didn’t expect Feng Yuan to break up with Xu Xiaoxiao so easily; or because she felt that Feng Yuan was very careless with his feelings; or because she felt that Feng Yuan had finally become smart after deciding to break up with Xu Xiaoxiao. In short, her mood was a little strange.
“How rare is this? Someone who has always been stupid is finally smart for once.” With her strange mood, Yan Jinyun’s words inevitably sounded a little strange, especially when the person involved was Feng Yuan.
Ever since she was young, her peers from the influential families in North City had always been full of praises for her. Even if it was just to give her face, they would still pretend to be kind to her. Only Feng Yuan had never been nice to her.
Of course, Yan Jinyun didn’t give Feng Yuan any pleasant expressions either.
“Yan Jinyun, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by ‘someone who has always been stupid’? How am I stupid?”
“You have to ask yourself that then.
“You… Forget it. I’m in a good mood today. I can’t be bothered to argue with you.” After breaking up with Xu Xiaoxiao, he felt much more relaxed. Moreover, he had witnessed Jin Yu’s extraordinary driving skills, so his mood became even better.
Thinking of Yan Jinyu’s superb driving skills, Feng Yuan hesitated for a long while before deciding to ask the question in his heart, “Jinyu, erm… I didn’t mean to snoop into your affairs. I’m just very curious. How did you get such good driving skills?”
Yan Jinyu looked up and met Feng Yuan’s gaze through the rearview mirror. She smiled, “How else could it be? Of course I’ve trained for it.”
“…” Feng Yuan. Of course he knew it was training. He wanted to know how it was done. So many people had investigated Jinyu’s past, but none mentioned that her driving skills were outstanding. They didn’t even mention if she had touched a car before.
In that remote town, it was already good enough for an underaged orphan girl to barely maintain her livelihood with odd jobs. How could she have the extra resources to train her driving skills?
Before this, they all thought that she didn’t even know how to drive.
“Jinyu, you…” Is your past really like everyone says it is?
Feng Yuan did not say that in the end.
“Forget it. Since you don’t want to say it, I won’t ask further, but you can’t be so rash in the future. Luo Yikun and the others are obviously up to no good. There’s no need for you to bother with them. No matter how good your driving skills are, what if… I’m almost scared to death when I see Qiu Jian charging over without any regard for her life? I won’t dare to bring you to such an occasion in the future.”
Although she had said that she would never do anything she wasn’t confident of, Feng Yuan still couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear when he recalled the scene on the track earlier.
Yan Jinyu looked at him silently and smiled, “Don’t worry, Cousin. Aren’t I fine now?”
“Anyway, if you meet those people again in the future, just try to avoid them.”
“Okay.” She didn’t like trouble either. Of course, she wouldn’t bother about those people if they didn’t come to look for her. However, if they didn’t learn their lesson and still came looking for her, it wasn’t her style to avoid them as much as possible.
Of course, Feng Yuan had a lot of questions. He wasn’t stupid. After seeing Yan Jinyu like that at the racetrack today, how could he be naive enough to think that she was a naive girl?
But no matter what, he did not intend to ask further.
It was still that same sentence. No matter what kind of person Jinyu was, she was still a cousin that he needed to take care of. That was all it needed.
Yan Jinyun lowered her eyes and remained silent while listening to their conversation.
With Yan Jinyu’s sharp senses, how could she not notice the change in Yan Jinyun’s emotions at this moment? She looked at her and then turned to the packet of yogurt in her hands, “Yun’er, give me that packet of yogurt.”
Yan Jinyun suddenly recalled what Yan Jinyu had said previously. How did she get such good driving skills? She was then distracted, but her thoughts were pulled back by Yan Jinyu’s words. She subconsciously pulled the yogurt into her arms when she realized what Yan Jinyu had said. Then, as if she felt that this action was a little obvious and embarrassing, she sat up stiffly.
“The space in the car is small, and I don’t want to smell such an unpresentable thing. If you want to drink it, wait until we get out of the car.”
Yan Jinyu’s eyes curved slightly, “Since it’s not presentable, why do you keep holding it?”
“I…” Yan Jinyun’s expression was a little unnatural,” Although I don’t like this kind of unpresentable thing, I had promised to help you hold it. I, Yan Jinyun, will definitely do what I promised! ”
“Alright, I’ll sit here now so there won’t be any chances for me to act out. You can give me the yogurt.”
“If I give it to you, who knows if you will drink it in the car? I’ve already said that I don’t want to smell the smell of such an unpresentable thing! Are you afraid that I’ll drink it? Don’t worry, I don’t fancy this kind of thing. After I get out of the car, I’ll return it to you unscathed!” After saying that, she turned her face to look out of the car window and no longer looked at Yan Jinyu.
If one took a closer look, they could see her slightly flushed face.
Yan Jinyu glanced at her, and an unnoticeable emotion flashed past her deep-set eyes. She didn’t mention taking back the yogurt anymore.
Feng Yuan, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, saw the interaction between the two. His expression was a little complicated too, but he didn’t say anything.
The car slowly drove forward and headed straight for the Yan Family.
It was almost four in the afternoon. Too many things had happened today, and Feng Yuan didn’t plan to bring them elsewhere. They didn’t seem to have any plans to go elsewhere either, so Feng Yuan decided to send them back to the Yan Family first.
After a while, Yan Jinyu’s phone rang.
It was “Little Rain”.
Yan Jinyu was slightly surprised. She thought that Little Rain would send a message to her directly after finding out the result. She didn’t expect her to call her personally.
Little Rain knew that there might be someone else around her now. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she rarely used their communication devices to contact her. She also rarely called her. Most of the time, she used text messages to contact her.
Little Rain had only called her once on the day that she lost control during the whole time that she was back in North City.
The reason why she called now should be related to the identity of the boss behind the underground racing arena. Or rather, the identity of the boss was so special that Little Rain had no choice but to call her personally to tell her in detail.
Hearing the phone ring, Yan Jinyun retracted her gaze and casually glanced at the phone. She happened to see Yan Jinyu’s phone call notification.
Little Rain?
Yan Jinyu seemed to have mentioned this person on the phone when she was vomiting so badly outside the washroom in the restaurant last time. She heard that on that morning when she went upstairs to change her clothes. Yan Jinyu received a call from this “Little Rain” while waiting for her downstairs.
It should be someone that Yan Jinyu was close to. However, everyone—including Master Nine—who had investigated Yan Jinyu’s past, did not know of her existence.
Yan Jinyu didn’t avoid the two people in the car. She picked up the call directly and smiled gently, “Little Rain.”
