The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 119: The Qiu Family’s Apology

“Apologize personally?! Why?! Don’t even think about making me apologize personally!”

In the VIP ward of a hospital in the capital, the person staying there was Qiu Jian, who had been seriously injured by Yan Jinyu.

At this moment, other than Qiu Jian, who was lying on the hospital bed with her hands and feet covered in plaster and a thick layer of gauze on her head, there were many other people in the ward. Most of them were from the Qiu Family.

“Get out of the Qiu Family if you don’t apologize! Why don’t you take a look at who that is? Is she someone you can offend so easily? Our Qiu Family doesn’t have a daughter like you who can’t accomplish anything and can only ruin everything!” It was the father of the Qiu Jian and the head of the Qiu Family, Qiu Cheng, who rebuked angrily.

If one listened carefully, they could hear the deep fear in his voice.

“Dad!” Qiu Jian looked at Qiu Cheng in disbelief. However, she saw that everyone in the Qiu Family, including Qiu Cheng, was looking at her angrily. They looked like they wanted to kick her out of the house immediately.

Qiu Jian’s heart turned slightly cold, and her expression was a little wooden. Her gaze turned to the person standing at the side of the ward, as if she was grabbing onto her last life-saving straw. “Bailu, you also agree that I should go and apologize to Yan Jinyu?”

Qin Bailu was the Second Missy of the Qin Family in the capital. She was 19 years old and was good at ballet. She had participated in many competitions and was considered quite famous in the country’s ballet circle.

Qin Bailu was very small. She had an oval face and shoulder-length hair. Because she had been dancing since she was young, even if she was not a top beauty, her temperament was the most outstanding among this group of people.

She had a gentle smile on her face and looked like a typical lady from a wealthy family.

Hearing Qiu Jian’s words, the smile was still on her face, but there was a hint of worry on her face, “Jianjian, you were in the wrong in this matter after all. Moreover, Master Nine even said that he wanted the Qiu Family to give an explanation. You’ve heard a lot of Master Nine’s reputation. He even personally said that if the Qiu Family doesn’t express anything, I’m afraid…”

Half of what she said was enough to make the Qiu Family members in the ward feel even more terrified.

Some of the timid ones even swayed.

“But what right does Yan Jinyu have? What right does she have to be so valued by Master Nine!”

Qin Bailu said calmly, “Perhaps it’s because she’s Master Nine’s fiancée. After all, their engagement was personally decided by Old Madam Yin. Master Nine has the deepest relationship with Old Madam Yin since he was young. Therefore, even if Master Nine doesn’t have Yan Jinyu in his heart, for the sake of giving Old Madam Yin face, he won’t let anyone bully Yan Jinyu, right?”

“Besides, Yan Jinyu still has the title of Master Nine’s fiancée. If she’s openly bullied, Master Nine won’t look good either.”

“No matter what, it’s your fault for being rash this time. You shouldn’t have run to North City without any care and even publicly said that she’s not worthy of Master Nine. Whether she’s worthy or not is up to Master Nine to decide. No one else has the right to judge.”

“Jianjian, don’t be stubborn. It’s just an apology. Don’t drag the entire Qiu Family down because of your pride.”

“Second Miss Qin is still the sensible one,” Qiu Cheng echoed. “Qiu Jian, to think that you’ve been friends with Second Miss Qin for so many years. You really didn’t learn Second Miss Qin’s manners and sensibility at all. Perhaps, it’s because of genes? You’ve embarrassed yourself in front of Second Miss Qin! With your brain, I wonder what kind of karma you accumulated in your past life to be able to make a good friend like Second Miss Qin!”

After saying that, Qiu Cheng even smiled at Qin Bailu.

He was buttering her up.

Qin Bailu lowered her eyes so no one could see the disgust in her eyes. However, she said, “Uncle Qiu, you’re exaggerating. Jianjian is very good. I’m very happy to be good friends with Jianjian.”

Qiu Cheng smiled until his face was full of wrinkles, “It’s Jianjian’s fortune to be able to make a friend like Second Miss Qin…”

The other Qiu Family members in the ward chimed in.

“Alright, Jianjian, stop being angry. You should know that as long as Yan Jinyu is still Master Nine’s fiancée, you can’t afford to offend her. Besides, she…” Glancing at the plaster on Qiu Jian’s hands and legs, Qin Bailu said,” And she doesn’t seem to be someone to be trifled with. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have become like this. ”

“I’ve been busy with competitions all this while and haven’t been able to visit you. I only know that you were injured and hospitalized. I didn’t expect you to be injured so… I heard that you even lost 18 million dollars to her in that race? No, you can’t fork out that much money at the moment. So, seriously speaking, the Qiu Family lost 18 million dollars to her.”

Qiu Jian was angry at the mention of this. At the same time, there was a hint of fear in her heart.

She recalled the moment when she turned the situation around and crashed into her, and Yan Jinyu’s words when she was laid on the stretcher.

At that time, Yan Jinyu meant that she had deliberately made sure that she and Zhao Yue were seriously injured and not killed in that situation.

Although she kept telling herself that Yan Jinyu’s words might be more to scare them and weren’t very true, she was still shocked and afraid every time she thought about it.

She had almost forgotten that fear after lying in the hospital for a month. Now that Bailu mentioned it, she recalled it again.

She didn’t want to apologize to Yan Jinyu. Actually, it wasn’t that she didn’t want to lower her head in front of Yan Jinyu. It was just that subconsciously, she didn’t want to face Yan Jinyu again. Or rather, she didn’t dare to face her again.

Seeing that she was in a daze and her face was a little pale, fear flashed in her eyes. Qin Bailu narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment before saying, “Jianjian, what’s wrong with you? Is your wound hurting? I heard that your limbs and ribs are fractured. There’s even a big wound on your head. How painful is it?”

“Yan Jinyu is indeed Master Nine’s fiancée. She clearly grew up in the countryside, but she still have such capabilities.”

“By the way, many people find it unbelievable that you’re hospitalized. You’re considered someone who likes to play. You’ve personally raced dozens of times. How could you lose to someone who grew up in a rural orphanage? Those people who don’t get along with you will have a reason to mock you again.”

Looking at Qiu Jian’s expression that was gradually turning ugly, Qin Bailu continued, “I’m also very curious about someone who can beat you in the racing arena and injure you to this extent. I wonder when we can meet her.”

“Hmph! What’s there to see! She only looks like that! Even if she has good driving skills, isn’t it still impossible for her to marry into the Yin Family? What she has to feel so smug about!”

“Qiu Jian!” Qiu Cheng was furious. He was afraid that Qiu Jian’s words would reach Yin Jiujin’s ears and anger him even more.

“Jianjian, you can’t say such things in the future. Regardless of whether Yan Jinyu can marry into the Yin Family, her engagement with Master Nine is still there. Right now, she’s the person who’s the most qualified to marry into the Yin Family. It’s fine if we hear these words from you. If it gets out, we’ll probably attract a lot of trouble. If it gets to Master Nine’s ears…”

“Don’t forget, Master Nine is still waiting for the Qiu Family to give him an explanation.”

Qiu Jian was shocked, but she was still unwilling, “Yan Jinyu is only relying on the engagement. Who knows when this engagement will stop being valid! You have to know that now that the Yin Family’s Old Madam is gone now and Madam Yin is the head of the family. Madam Yin still likes you so much…”

Qin Bailu stopped smiling and interrupted her, “Jianjian, don’t talk nonsense!”

Madam Yin indeed liked her a lot, but the daughter-in-law whom Madam Yin liked was not her!

“Alright, alright. Don’t be angry, Bailu. I won’t say anything. But even if we don’t talk about Mrs. Yin’s attitude, others don’t know who Master Nine likes, but you and I…”

“Qiu Jian!”

“Jianjian!”

The former was Qiu Cheng, while the latter was Qin Bailu. The two of them interrupted her angrily at the same time, and everyone in the ward lowered their heads in fear.

They didn’t know about Master Nine, and they didn’t dare to probe either. They only wished that when Qiu Jian said those words just now, they were deaf and didn’t hear anything.

Master Nine had someone in his heart?!!

If this was true, wouldn’t the capital be turned upside down?

This was even more shocking than Master Nine finding his long-lost fiancée.

Who was Master Nine? He was very indifferent to the Yin Family. Other than those subordinates, he basically had no one to befriend. His methods were very ruthless. No matter if it was in the business world or anywhere else, he was someone who never showed mercy…

If such a person had someone in his heart…

Since Qiu Jian and Second Miss Qin said that and Qiu Cheng and Second Miss Qin had such a huge reaction, it was probably not Qiu Jian’s imagination.

In other words, Master Nine really had someone in his heart!

Then, who was that person?

Which family’s daughter?

Would the capital reshuffle because of the appearance of such a woman? After all, if they managed to get close to Master Nine, the family that woman belonged to would also rise to a higher level!

Qiu Jian knew that she had said something wrong and her face turned pale, “I-I…”

However, she didn’t know what to do to make the others in the ward ignore this matter. If Master Nine found out that she had discovered such a big secret of his, would she still be able to live?!

After thinking about it, Qiu Jian decided to use Qin Bailu as a shield. “I’m sorry, Bai Lu. I hate Yan Jinyu too much, that’s why I didn’t choose my words.”

“How could someone like Master Nine have…”

However, she saw that Qin Bailu’s expression was very ugly. Qiu Jian was a little regretful, “Bailu, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it. I was just speaking carelessly.” She knew that Bai Lu liked Master Nine, very, very much. Therefore, the person who suffered the greatest blow when Master Nine had someone in his heart was Bailu.

She still remembered that when they accidentally found out about this secret, their faces were drained of all color and they could not even stand straight. It was obvious how shocked they were.

She treated Bailu as a good friend, so after knowing that Master Nine’s fiancée had been found, she went to North City to help Bailu vent her anger.

She didn’t dare to offend the person that Master Nine was protecting. Couldn’t she afford to offend Yan Jinyu, who only had the title of Master Nine’s fiancée?

… Indeed, she could not afford to offend her.

Looking at her now, it would probably take more than half a year for her to be discharged.

However, even if she couldn’t afford to offend Yan Jinyu, Yan Jinyu’s status couldn’t be compared to that person at all.

That was Master Nine. If he really cared about someone else, would he care about Yan Jinyu, his fiancée?

Apologize?

If she didn’t go, she would implicate the Qiu Family?!

Good!

Then, she would apologize. She wanted to see how long Yan Jinyu could remain smug for!

“Bailu, don’t be angry. If you want me to apologize to Yan Jinyu, I’ll go.”

Qin Bailu glanced at her and forced a smile. “Alright, I’ll leave first. I’ll visit you another day.”

After Qin Bailu left, Qiu Cheng reprimanded Qiu Jian in exasperation, “Idiot! Don’t implicate the Qiu Family if you don’t want to live. Look at what you’re saying! Is that something you can say?! Get ready and set off for North City immediately!”

“Now?!” Qiu Jian’s eyes widened.

“What else can I do? Who do you think you’re going to apologize to? Do you think Master Nine is joking when he said that the Qiu Family should give an explanation? You idiot! It’s fine if you keep causing trouble, but you even caused such a huge mess for me! Not only did you lose 18 million dollars, but you might even lose the Qiu Family too! You better pray that you can gain Master Nine’s forgiveness when you go to North City this time. Otherwise, see if I don’t break your legs!”

The doctor who pushed the door open and came in for a ward round said, “Her leg is already broken.”

“…” Everyone in the ward.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the doctor smiled awkwardly. “Since you have something else to talk about, I’ll come over later.”

Everyone looked at each other. After a while, Qiu Cheng took a deep breath, looked at Qiu Jian and said with an unkind tone, “Even if I have to carry you there, I have to bring you to North City. Think about how to apologize and ask for Master Nine’s forgiveness!”

Although they said that they wanted to apologize to Yan Jinyu, everyone, including Qiu Cheng, didn’t take Yan Jinyu seriously. Their words and meanings were all begging for Yin Jiujin’s forgiveness.

“But Dad, even if we really go to North City, can we see Master Nine? Third Young Master Min asked Bailu to pass a message. He only said that Master Nine wanted the Qiu Family to give him an explanation. He didn’t specify that we should go to North City to apologize.”

“…Just go as I tell you to. Cut the crap!”

***

“Mom, I can’t stand that idiot Qiu Jian anymore. She almost killed me this time! And that group of people from the Qiu Family. They’re all fawning over me. How disgusting!” After walking out of the hospital and getting into the car, Qin Bailu no longer had the gentle smile of a young lady from a wealthy family on her face. She looked like a mean and unkind person.

When the woman on the other end of the line heard that, she said, “Bailu, Mom taught you that you have to remain calm no matter what happens. Only then can you accomplish big things.”

“You don’t have to bother about Qiu Jian for now. Continue to be on good terms with her. What you have to do is to maintain a good image. For other matters, you have to let a fool like Qiu Jian stand in front of you to help you block them. If you want to marry into the Yin Family, you have to endure something that ordinary people can’t. If you can’t even tolerate the Qiu Family and Qiu Jian, how can you achieve big things?”

“You’re Mom’s daughter. Mom could endure for so many years and marry into the Qin Family. As long as you can stabilize yourself, you can also marry into the Yin Family.”

“But Mom, if this goes on, I’ll be implicated by Qiu Jian before the matter of marrying into the Yin Family can even improve.”

“She’s so anxious over such a small matter. Didn’t she not implicate you this time and push all the blame to Qiu Jian? Even Qiu Jian feels that this is her fault alone.”

“Alright, even if Qiu Jian and the Qiu Family aren’t important, but what about the person in Master Nine’s heart? The daughter-in-law that Aunt likes isn’t me, and the person in Master Nine’s heart isn’t me either. I don’t have any advantage!”

“What’s wrong with that? You’re the legitimate daughter of the Qin Family after all. Back then, Mom didn’t have any status at all. Didn’t I marry into the Qin Family without any advantage? Look at how well your father treats me and you now. He doesn’t even care about the two children that woman left behind.”

“However, your father can ignore about them, but we can’t. If you have the time, go to the Yin Family to look for your sister more often. She’s the Eldest Young Mistress of the Yin Family after all. It’s beneficial for you to marry into the Yin Family if you maintain a good relationship on the surface. As for your brother in the army, tsk, don’t waste your time on him. With his honest look, he never knows how to be tactful when he speaks. He always offends people.”

“Although he is doing quite well now and has the Huo Family as his in-laws, we can’t deny the fact that he’s single-minded. Don’t let him drag you down when he can’t help you!”

At the mention of Qin Hao, Qin Bailu had a look of disdain on her face. “I know. Even if Mom wants me to be on good terms with him, I can’t do it. Just like what Mom said, he’s just one-track minded and doesn’t know how to turn. He says everything without caring if he will offend anyone! I really don’t know why the Huo Family insists on marrying their daughter to someone like him.”

Qin Hao had pointed her nose at her many times and criticized everything about her. From her dressing to her friends, every time he criticized her, he would escalate it to her values in life.

Qin Hao had gotten stupid in the army.

To put it nicely, he looked honest and righteous, but he was actually an idiot who easily offended people.

“Mom, the Qiu Family wants to go to North City to apologize to the daughter of the Yan Family in North City who has just been found. Do you think I should follow them? I can also show my face in front of Master Nine? This time, I used the favor Min Ting owes me and asked him to apologize for Qiu Jian’s mistake on my behalf. Master Nine asked Min Ting to find me to pass a message to the Qiu Family. Perhaps, Master Nine already remembers me.”

The other end of the line was silent for a moment before saying, “You have a point. Then, you can follow her. Remember, no matter what happens, first protect yourself and don’t leave a bad impression on Master Nine.”

Qin Bailu was happy to hear that. “I know, Mom. Don’t worry.”
