The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 31 - Her Heartstring Was Tugged

Yan Jinyu didn't say anything and continued to look ahead. In front of her was the cold drink shop that Yan Jinyun mentioned so she was looking for a parking space.

Yan Jinyun didn't care if she answered or not as she continued, "At this time, I'm still concerned about my own reputation. I'm afraid that I'll ruin it if I'm not careful. I didn't forget to call back to remind Mom to get rid of that chauffeur. I know I'm very hypocritical."

"But I had no choice but to do so. I've put in too much effort to get to where I am today. I don't want to end up empty-handed. Now that I'm in North City, whenever those elders talk about me, all of them praise me. Not to mention marrying into a better family in the future, just the fact that I'm the heir of the Yan Family will give me a better reputation."

As she spoke, she looked up and bit her lip. "Of course, since you're back, you naturally have a share of the Yan Family's inheritance rights. However, I won't give up the inheritance rights just because you're capable. Even if I'm not your match, I won't admit defeat until the last moment."

"It doesn't matter if you say that I'm greedy for the Yan Clan's wealth. It doesn't matter if you say that I'm selfish and don't care about family ties. Ever since I could remember things, I knew I'll be the successor of the Yan Clan. All these years in North City, everyone has unanimously thought that I'm the successor of the Yan Clan. If the person who inherits the Yan Clan isn't me in the end, I won't be able to raise my head in North City in the future. I can't afford to lose this face."

"Therefore, even if I am destined to lose, I must fight for it…"

"Is this the cold drink shop you were talking about?"

Yan Jinyun was stunned, "What?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to find a place to sit? Is this the cold drink shop you mentioned?"

Yan Jinyun looked out of the car window. It was indeed the cold drink shop that she had mentioned, but… she had said so much. Did Yan Jinyu not listen to her at all? Why would she mention the cold drink shop at such a time? Most importantly, when Yan Jinyu looked at her, she was still wearing an indifferent expression.

"If it's this one, let's get off then."

Yan Jinyun realized that she had already parked the car.

Yan Jinyu unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to get out of the car when she suddenly paused. She looked at Yan Jinyun and said, "I have told you that you don't have to guard against me like you're guarding against a thief when I returned to the Yan Family. I won't take a single cent of the Yan Family's assets."

Yan Jinyun stared at her in a daze, not knowing how to react. She felt very strange.

One of the reasons why she didn't like Yan Jinyu was that Yan Jinyu might fight with her for the position of successor when she returned. However, Yan Jinyu actually looked down on something that she valued so much.

She couldn't tell what she was feeling. Was she happy or angry?

Yes, she was more angry and happy. She was angry that Yan Jinyu didn't fight for herself. She was clearly the daughter of the Yan Family and the legitimate eldest daughter of the Yan Family. If they were to really talk about it, the eldest daughter of the Yan Family was more qualified than the second daughter to inherit the Yan Family.

Looking at Yan Jinyun who was in a daze, the faint smile on Yan Jinyu's face faded slightly, "Of course, I'm not thinking about your belongings. It's best that you guys don't think about mine either. Yun'er is a smart person. She should understand what I mean."

Of course, Yan Jinyun understood. She was referring to Master Nine. She had mentioned it when she returned to the Yan Family.

There was no one who didn't yearn for someone like Master Nine. However, she actually didn't have any deep feelings for Master Nine. It was just that ever since she knew about things, her mother had always said that she would marry Master Nine in the future. Master Nine's status and position were also what she valued, so she naturally wanted to fight for it. But now that she knew Yan Jinyu's capabilities, she naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to pick a losing battle.

However, she would not give up the Yan family's right of inheritance and she did not want to. Even when she knew the chances of her losing were not high if Yan Jinyu wanted to be the heir.

She had done so much for the sake of living a life that everyone admired all these years. She did not want to end up with nothing without fighting for it.

Even if she was destined to lose, she had to fight for it.

"Also, I'm not a good-tempered person. If it weren't for Grandfather and Grandmother, based on your family's attitude towards me, you guys would have died countless times."

Yan Jinyun knew that she wasn't saying this to scare her. She had personally witnessed Yan Jinyu's ruthlessness just now. Yan Jinyun couldn't help but shiver when she thought about how their previous actions were tempting fate.

"Yun'er, you don't have to be too nervous. After all, the Yan Family has been cared for by my grandparents in their lifetime. As long as you don't provoke me, I won't do anything to the Yan Family."

"Alright, let's get out of the car."

***

Yan Jinyun had yet to recover from her shock when she found a seat by the window in the cold drink shop. She sat opposite Yan Jinyu and watched as she drank the beverage that the waiter had just served.

This was what Yan Jinyu ordered as soon as she entered the cold drink shop.

She had drunk this kind of beverage once, and it was a little sour. She had never drunk yogurt before, but she guessed that this kind of drink probably tasted like yogurt.

Yan Jinyu seemed to really like to drink yogurt. The things she ordered at the beverage shop all tasted like yogurt.

"Y-you really don't want to fight for the Yan family's assets at all?" After hesitating for a long time, Yan Jinyun couldn't help but ask.

Yan Jinyu, who had drunk her drink, had already suppressed the anger that she had felt earlier. When she heard Yan Jinyun's words, she put down her drink and gazed upon her, "You don't have to test my words. If I really want the Yan Family's fortune, you're not my match."

Yan Jinyun was speechless.

She knew that Yan Jinyu wasn't bragging, even though she didn't know what else Yan Jinyu had to rely on other than her skills.

Perhaps, Yan Jinyu's method of dealing with those nine hooligans had given her too much of a shock, causing her to feel fear towards Yan Jinyu. Instinctively, she felt that Yan Jinyu wasn't just what she appeared to be.

"Besides, I'm not interested in the Yan Family's miserable assets."

These words really shocked Yan Jinyun.

"…Not interested? Do you know how much the Yan Corporation is worth? Over 10 billion!"

Seeing that Yan Jinyu didn't look shocked at all, Yan Jinyun then knew that she knew how much the Yan Corporation was worth.

She really didn't care for tens of billions!

Who exactly was Yan Jinyu?

"I don't need you to give way to me. You have a share of the Yan Family's inheritance rights. If you want to take your share one day or fight for the position of the successor, I will welcome you. I, Yan Jinyun, am not someone who is afraid of trouble."

"As for Master Nine… since Master Nine is your fiance, I know that I'm not your match, so I won't go and compete with you. As for my parents, I will also advise them not to have any other ideas." Yan Jinyu had probably seen through their thoughts now. It was laughable how they had thought that Yan Jinyu was inexperienced and easy to deceive.

Yan Jinyu finished her glass and called the waiter over to order another. Then, she slowly looked at her with a hint of disdain. "I told you not to think about me. It's not because I'm afraid of you. I just don't want the Yan Family to be destroyed. Hence, it's not that you don't want to fight with me, instead, it's that you don't have the right to fight with me from the start. You have to be clear about that."

After speaking, Yan Jinyu smiled, "Don't just stand there. The drinks here are not bad. You can order one too. My treat."

After drinking a cup of beverage, she had suppressed her anger, but the strange emotion in her heart was still there.

Yan Jinyun's action of disregarding her own safety to protect her in the dark alley just now, was still lingering in Yan Jinyu's mind.

Yan Jinyu wouldn't treat others so easily and it wasn't her place to treat the three of them. As for the others, they weren't qualified for her to treat them either.

Of course, Yan Jinyun didn't know this.
