Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It wasn’t that Yan Jinyu didn’t manage to dodge in time, but she didn’t at all.

Yan Jinyu knew that Xi Fengling wasn’t feeling good now when Xi Fengling called her “Beauty Yu” and she saw Xi Mao, Feng Xiangxiang, and the others who appeared along with Xi Fengling.

“..” Min Rufeng who followed them in.

To be honest, this was the first time he was jealous of Little Yu.

He was right beside her. He wanted to comfort his girl, but she was not looking for him.

Min Rufeng felt much better when he saw Yin Jiujin’s darkened face.

He always occupied Little Yu’s time and attention. During the past few days, Yin Jiujin was filled with jealousy and didn’t give them any good attitude when they interacted with Little Yu more.

They should make him feel uncomfortable too.

Xi Fengling hugged Yan Jinyu for a minute and didn’t let go. Yan Jinyu raised her hand and patted her back, “Alright, aren’t you embarrassed?”

Xi Fengling then let go of her reluctantly. “What’s there to be embarrassed about? I’m just giving you a loving hug.”

Yan Jinyu didn’t expose her either.

“I wish our Beauty Yu a year older.”

This was a sincere well-wish.

Yan Jinyu smiled in response.

“Jinyu, happy birthday.” Feng Qin walked over too.

Seeing Yan Jinyun at the side, Feng Qin wasn’t biased either. “Second Miss Yan, happy birthday.”

Most of the people here were Yan Jinyu’s friends. No one noticed her, but Yan Jinyun actually didn’t care. She just wanted to celebrate Yan Jinyu’s birthday with her, so she didn’t care about the others.

She knew Feng Qin and had seen her on television casually before.

“Thank you.”

Feng Qin thought to herself.?She’s indeed the top socialite in North City. Her every frown and smile exuded the aura of a top socialite.

She smiled and nodded at Yan Jinyun before continuing to say to Yan Jinyu, “Jinyu, I’ve heard about my father. Thank you.”

Feng Xiangxiang also stepped forward. “Thank you, Jinyu.”

“You’re welcome. It’s just a coincidence.”

“This is a birthday present Auntie prepared for you and your sister. It’s a pair of gloves that Auntie personally knitted. It’s not suitable for this season, but you can use it in the winter.”

Feng Xiangxiang was very considerate to have prepared two gifts.

Yan Jinyu took it. “Thank you, Auntie.”

Xi Mao didn’t say anything, but he didn’t interrupt them and Yan Jinyu.

After some small talk, Yin Wuzhan led the Yin Family’s members over.

Yin Shuguo and Qin Jianjia were not around.

Yin Shuguo was old and this was a dangerous period. The Yin Family’s members didn’t allow him to go out. Qin Jianjia was pregnant, so they didn’t allow her to go out either.

They had planned to celebrate Yan Jinyu’s birthday in the Yin Family’s residence, but Yan Jinyu didn’t agree.

She and Yin Jiujin weren’t married yet, so it was a little inappropriate for them to celebrate their birthday in the Yin Family.

Even though the Yin Family’s members didn’t seem to care.

However, to Yan Jinyu, compared to celebrating her birthday in the Yin Family, she preferred to celebrate at Mount West Villa.

This wasn’t just because Yan Jinyun wanted to come. It was more convenient to celebrate at the Mount West Villa. It was also because Mount West Villa was Yin Jiujin’s territory after all. It would be more comfortable.

“Happy birthday. This is the birthday present Jianjia chose for you.” Min Qinglan unnaturally handed the gift to Yan Jinyu.

It was a pink package. It was unclear what was inside.

Min Qinglan was still holding one in her hand. She handed it to Yan Jinyun, “Happy birthday. Speaking of which, this is the first time we’ve met. This is a gift my eldest daughter-in-law bought. I hope you like it.”

Yan Jinyun had been observing them since they walked over.

She knew that the Yin Family treated Yan Jinyu well, but that was after all heard from others. She had never seen it with her own eyes.

She had also heard many rumors about Min Qinglan having a potential daughter-in-law candidate whom she liked very much in her early years, so she wanted to seriously observe Min Qinglan’s attitude towards Yan Jinyu.

She smiled appropriately and took it. “Thank you, Auntie, and please thank the sister-in-law of the Yin Family for me.”

“You’re welcome. As a junior, I should have personally paid a visit to Uncle and Auntie when I came to the capital. However, I couldn’t find the time. I had been rude. I even made Auntie spend money for my gift.”

“My sister is in the capital. I’ll have to trouble Auntie to take care of her. I won’t be so rude next time I come to the capital.”

She greeted Yin Wuzhan politely, “Hello, Uncle.”

She looked at Yin Yuhan. “Hello, Big Brother Yin.”

“This is Sister.. Second Young Master Yin’s place. It’s not convenient for me to entertain you. I’ll definitely do my best as your host the next time you guys go to North City to play.”

She spoke appropriately and acted appropriately. She did not let people think that she was flattering them and made them look down on her. She also did not let people think that she was arrogant and did not take others seriously.

She interacted like they were of the same generation even though she was their junior.

She sounded like Yan Jinyu’s parent.

The Yin Family members came to a realization.

Yes, wasn’t this 19-year-old girl in front of them the head of the Yan Family in North City now?

Even Min Qinglan, who had always been picky, exclaimed inwardly when she saw Yan Jinyun like this.?What a top socialite in North City. She indeed deserves her reputation.

“You’re regarding us as outsiders. There’s no need to pay us a visit. We don’t care about these things. If you’re free, come over to our house.”

“Alright, thank you, Auntie.”

Min Qinglan was already amazed, let alone Yin Wuzhan and Yin Yuhan.

However, their amazement was different from Min Qinglan’s.

They were thinking that the Yan Family in North City had really good genes. Their daughters were all outstanding.

It was fine if Yan Jinyu was shocking, but Yan Jinyun, who had been pampered by her parents since she was young, was actually so outstanding too.

Yin Wuzhan nodded in satisfaction. “Your auntie is right. We don’t care about these things. Visit us when you’re free.”

“I will, Uncle.”

They were satisfied with Yan Jinyun. Yan Jinyun saw their attitude and nodded inwardly.

That’s right. At least for now, the Yin Family still seemed quite easy to get along with. Yan Jinyu probably wouldn’t suffer any grievances.

Yan Jinyu saw this scene.

She was naturally touched, but she was mostly exasperated.

She felt exasperated that Yan Jinyun was putting on the airs of an elder from her family to support her.

As long as she didn’t want to, who could bully her?

Even if Yan Jinyun didn’t know who she was, she should know that she wasn’t someone to be trifled with. However, she was still worried that she would be bullied.

Yan Jinyu really didn’t know what to say.

However, Min Qinglan’s gift..

Although Qin Jianjia was the one who bought it, Qin Jianjia wasn’t even allowed to go out now. Just like today, Qin Jianjia didn’t even come over, so how could she choose a gift personally?

Of course, online shopping did not count. Top-notch families like them usually did not buy things online. They would only let shopping malls send things to them.

However, they would never be asking someone to deliver the items to her door when buying a birthday present.

Because that would seem very insincere.

Min Qinglan was also an interesting person.

She even pushed the birthday gifts to Qin Jianjia.

However, if Min Qinglan was giving her a gift sincerely, she would just accept it sincerely.

There was no need to say anything.

There were not many people, so the birthday party was simple.

Everyone exchanged greetings and then they lit candles to sing birthday songs.

historical

She had accepted all the birthday presents that she should have received. Her birthday passed very smoothly.

Of course, the premise was to ignore the small interlude in the middle.

For example, after eating the cake, when everyone was drinking and chatting, Yin Jiujin had something on and went away for a while. At that moment, Yan Jinyu was sitting in the resting area.

Huo Xuan went forward to give her a gift.

Unlike the others, Huo Xuan had only prepared a gift for her alone.

Yan Jinyu and him were the only ones here. Everyone else was drinking, chatting, or eating snacks.

“Eldest Miss Yan.”

Yan Jinyu had long seen him coming over and thought that he was tired from standing.

In the Mount West Villa, she was the host and Huo Xuan was the guest. Since Huo Xuan was here to celebrate her birthday, she couldn’t be too rude.

She nodded and smiled. “Young Master Huo, please sit.”

Huo Xuan thanked her and sat down two seats away from her.

He did not overstep his boundaries at all.

He took out a small gift box from his pocket. “Happy birthday to Eldest Miss Yan. It’s a small gift. Take it as my kind wishes. I hope you like it.”

Huo Xuan looked calm, but he was actually very nervous.

He had actually spent a day choosing this so-called small gift.

Of course, Huo Xuan wouldn’t say that.

Other than him, no one else would know about this, including his assistant.

There was no need to say what he was willing to do to add to her burden. It was not like others forced him to do it.

Only he needed to know if the gift was sincere or not.

Yan Jinyu was a little surprised. She wasn’t surprised that he would give her a gift. After all, although it wasn’t a big birthday party, he couldn’t come empty-handed.

She was surprised that Huo Xuan would give her a birthday present when no one was around them.

She was a little puzzled.

Could it be that Huo Xuan was too shy to give her a gift in public?

Or was it that because Huo Xuan and Yin Jiujin were rivals in the business world and could be considered as enemies, he didn’t want to give it in front of Yin Jiujin?

With doubts in her heart, Yan Jinyu smiled and accepted it. “Thank you, Young Master Huo.”

“It’s just a small gift. It’s not expensive.” However, he heaved a sigh of relief because Yan Jinyu had accepted his gift.

Huo Xuan didn’t make the atmosphere awkward, nor did he give Yan Jinyu a chance to see through his thoughts.

Yan Jinyu accepted the gift, so he changed the topic. “Although it’s a little inappropriate to say this on a day like today, I still want to ask when Eldest Miss Yan plans to attack Liu Guang?”

Yan Jinyu raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

“I don’t mean anything else. I just want to know when Eldest Miss Yan will make a move. I also want to help. You also know that your enemy is Rainy’s enemy. I don’t want to keep such a hidden danger around and let Rainy be in danger constantly.”

That was not entirely a lie.

Huo Xuan was really worried about Huo Siyu’s safety and really wanted to get rid of Liu Guang.

He wanted to get Liu Guang for Huo Siyu’s safety in the future and settle the score with him for Huo Siyu’s past sufferings.

In short, in Huo Xuan’s opinion, it was necessary to get rid of Liu Guang.

Yan Jinyu stared at him and then chuckled. “I’m not sure yet. I’ll have to wait for a while and make preparations before making a move. If Young Master Huo wants to interfere, I naturally won’t mind having another helper. After all, you’re also thinking about Rainy’s safety.”

“Before we make a move, I’ll inform Young Master Huo. Then, Young Master Huo can join us.”

“Alright.” After a pause, Huo Xuan said, “Before that, is there anything I can help with? If there is, Eldest Miss Yan, you don’t have to be polite. Just speak. My determination to kill Liu Guang isn’t inferior to yours.”

Seeing Yan Jinyu looking at him, Huo Xuan said, “If it wasn’t for Liu Guang and Ghost Slaughter Island, Rainy wouldn’t have suffered so much back then. If it wasn’t for you, I would have attacked Liu Guang too. It’s just that with you people who know Liu Guang better planning ahead, I’ve gained an advantage.”

“To put it bluntly, if I deal with Liu Guang alone, the chances of winning are not high. Rather than saying that I want to help you, it’s better to say that I’m here to seek cooperation with you.”

Yan Jinyu fell silent.

Huo Xuan was a good elder brother.

He was very concerned about Rainy. This was very good.

“Rainy is my companion. You’re doing this for Rainy, so it can’t be considered as seeking cooperation. To be honest, we can be considered as family.”

Family..

Huo Xuan’s heart skipped a beat.

He knew what she meant, but he couldn’t help feeling happy that he was closer to her now.

He was secretly happy.

He did not show it outwardly at all.

“Since Young Master Huo wants to go together, let’s go together. I’ll let Young Master Huo know when we discuss the plan next time.”

“Alright, thank you.” He clenched his fists lightly. “Since you will notify me, I wonder if Eldest Miss Yan has my contact information?”

“I mean, if you don’t have it, I can give it to you.”

Yan Jinyu was about to say that there was no need for that. Even if she didn’t have his contact number, she could easily find it if she wanted to contact him.

Yin Jiujin’s voice sounded from behind. “I have Young Master Huo’s contact number.. I’ll inform Young Master Huo if there’s anything.”
