The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 38 - Being Targeted

"Not really. I'm only involved in that marriage contract with the people in the capital. It's probably because someone doesn't want me to marry into the Yin Family."

She spoke so honestly and even hit the nail on the head. Feng Chen could not help but think even more highly of her.

She was not as naive and gullible as he thought. Hence, when she encountered trouble in the future, she would not be helpless. As for whether she was scheming, that was not something he could control.

The only thing he could do was to remind her as much as possible. When he had the chance to meet Master Nine, he would mention it to Master Nine. Perhaps, only Master Nine could deal with the power that could interfere with the Yan Family in North City and the Yin Family. If Master Nine had the intention to protect Jinyu, Jinyu would definitely not encounter such danger again. If Master Nine was not interested, it would be better to persuade Jinyu to stay away from Master Nine.

Without the engagement, there should be no more danger.

"Uncle, do you know which family is it?"

Feng Chen shook his head, "My ability is limited, I can't find out more about that."

"Oh I see"."

"I'm telling you this not to scare you, nor do I want you to find out the truth and take revenge for what happened back then. I just want to remind you to be more vigilant so that similar things don't happen again. If possible, your engagement with Master Nine…"

Yan Jinyu looked up calmly, "Uncle, there won't be any changes to my engagement with Brother Nine."

For some reason, Feng Chen actually saw a hint of coldness in her smiling eyes.

He thought to himself that it must be an illusion. How could such a likable girl's gaze be cold when her smile looked so comfortable?

However, the way she addressed Master Nine…

Although she was not as naive and gullible as she seemed, she was still a little girl who did not understand the evil intentions of people. Even he was very afraid of Master Nine. This little girl really did not know about who she was dealing with.

She must have been deceived by Master Nine's good looks. She was a 17 or 18-year-old girl, so how could she not be attracted by Master Nine's face?

Forget it, let's talk about this later. Let's see Master Nine's attitude towards Jinyu first.

Master Nine had personally brought Jinyu back to the Yan Family. It was said that he had even humbled himself to accompany her shopping. It seemed like he treated Jinyu quite well.

"I naturally hope that you can have someone to rely on in the future. We'll talk about this later. Today, I'm just mentioning the kidnappers to you so that you can be mentally prepared."

"I know. Thank you, Uncle." Yan Jinyu's tone became serious. "Please don't let Brother Nine know about this for now."

"Why?" Feng Chen was very surprised. In his opinion, since someone from a big family in the capital was going to harm Yan Jinyu, only Yin Jiujin could protect her.

Why?

Of course, she had to do it personally since it was her revenge. If Yin Jiujin were to find out, it would be none of her business.

She was certain that if Yin Jiujin were to find out about this, the capital would probably be turned upside down by him.

Don't ask her why she was so sure. Yin Jiujin's special treatment towards her was something she could sense even without using her brain, not to mention that her mind had been spinning recently.

But of course, she wouldn't say this to Feng Chen. Even if she did, Feng Chen might not believe her.

"Uncle, are you confident about what you found out?"

Feng Chen was silent for a moment, "No. Since it might be related to a big family in the capital, it's not easy to investigate. I was lucky to be able to find out about this."

"Since you don't have full confidence, it's better not to let Brother Nine know first. I'm sure Uncle has heard about Brother Nine's personality. Once Brother Nine knows about this, he'll definitely investigate to the very end. In this way, not only North City, but even the capital will probably be in a state of panic. It's fine if what you've found is the truth, but if it's not, then Brother Nine's actions will probably not only affect the major families in the capital, but the other Yin Family members will also have prejudice against me."

"Of course, I know that Uncle is doing this for my own good. If someone really wants to harm me, now that I'm back, I'm sure the other party won't be letting this rest. It won't be too late for me to let Brother Nine know when they attack again."

Feng Chen thought about it and was still a little hesitant. However, seeing the determination in her eyes, he finally nodded, "Alright." Before that, he would look after her more and not let others harm her so easily in North City.

"The fruits are here." Luo Linlin only brought out the cut fruits when she saw that they were almost done chatting. Feng Yuan followed behind with a plate of fruits.

When he came over, Feng Yuan's gaze kept shifting between Yan Jinyu and Feng Chen. He was very curious about what they had said.

"Jinyu, come and have some fruit."

Yan Jinyu thanked him and took an apple.

"What plans does Jinyu have in the future?" Luo Linlin had the mentality of a concerned mother. She was also worried that her words might hurt Yan Jinyu's feelings, so she asked very tactfully and carefully.

There was still more than a month before she turned 18. At this age, other than continuing to go back to school, Luo Linlin couldn't think of any other path that was more suitable for Yan Jinyu. It would be best if Yan Jinyu was very outstanding and could complete her studies, but she had to leave the school to do hard labor in the third year of junior high.

Normally, people would wish for their children to get into a university to complete their studies, let alone a big family like the Yan Family.

Luo Linlin thought that if Yan Jinyu only had a junior high education level, regardless of whether her marriage contract with the Yin Family continued in the future, her path would be very difficult.

No big family would be willing to take in a daughter-in-law who only had a middle school education.

Yan Jinyu knew what Luo Linlin was thinking, but even they couldn't make her go to school to be controlled by people.

However, she couldn't bear to reject Luo Linlin's good intentions, so she could only say, "When Brother Nine is done with his work and returns to North City, he will make arrangements." No one dared to interfere after she pushed the responsibility to Yin Jiujin.

"Who is Brother Nine?" Feng Yuan asked Luo Linlin.

Yan Jinyu smiled, "Yin Jiujin."

"Yin…" Feng Yuan was shocked to the point his saliva was stuck in his throat, and he choked.

In North City, no, not just North City, even in the capital, when others saw Yin Jiujin, they would respectfully call him "Master Nine". Why the hell was she calling him Brother Nine?

Was it ignorance or were the rumors that Yin Jiujin treated her differently true?

Luo Linlin sighed as well. However, she was experienced and didn't show it. She glanced at the shocked Feng Yuan and said to Yan Jinyu, "Since Master Nine has made arrangements, I won't ask further." She felt relieved. With such a person protecting Jinyu, she didn't have to worry that Jinyu would be bullied.

She was a woman, so she wasn't as far-sighted as Feng Chen. She had long heard of this Master Nine's name and was afraid of him. However, ever since she heard that he had brought Jin Yu back and personally accompanied Jin Yu to shop, even accompanying Jin Yu to shop for lingerie, her impression of him had changed.

If the man who was ruthless usually, could accompany a woman to shop patiently, then it showed that he cared for her tremendously.

She didn't care how Master Nine's reputation was, as long as he treated Jinyu well.

"We haven't seen each other for so many years. Stay here for dinner before you leave. You came here before when you were young, but you probably don't remember. It's boring sitting here. Let your cousin Feng Yuan walk around with you."

Yan Jinyu wanted to reject, but she couldn't when she met Luo Linlin's kind eyes.
