The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 64: The Day Before Their Birthday

In the blink of an eye, it was almost Yan Jinyu and Yan Jinyun’s coming-of-age ceremony. It had been two months since Yan Jinyu returned to the Yan Family.

Ever since Yan Jinyu said those harsh words, Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya had never come to look for trouble with her again. Not only that, the two of them seemed to be avoiding her too.

However, they would still meet occasionally when they ate at home or at some other times.

Every time they met, Fu Ya would still give Yan Jinyu a stern look. On the other hand, other than having a slightly complicated expression, Yan Qingyu didn’t do anything else when he occasionally bumped into Yan Jinyu. He didn’t even pretend to be kind in front of Yan Jinyu to gain her trust anymore.

Yan Jinyu didn’t care about that at all.

After she returned from the race that day, she no longer lived a “homebody” life. Instead, she went to play all over North City. Sometimes, Feng Yuan and Yan Jinyun accompanied her, and sometimes she went alone.

All in all, during this period of time, she was already very familiar with the North City.

Of course, because of that race in the underground racing arena, her name had already spread within a small circle. Although initially everyone knew that she was the eldest daughter of the Yan Family who had just been found, their understanding of her was only what they found out—she had never seen much of the world in the rural orphanage. They would at most talk about her and never think too highly of her whenever they mentioned her.

However, since then, no one dared to look down on her anymore. Even those who tried to find trouble with her did not dare to make any rash moves.

Of course, that was only limited to a certain circle.

The fact that the eldest daughter of the Yan Family in North City was actually not as bad as the rumors said, was not widely known in North City yet.

Yan Jinyu was surprised by this too.

She thought that after teaching Qiu Jian and Zhao Yue a lesson, her deeds would spread in North City.

Yan Jinyu knew that someone must have done something to cause this situation. As for who it was and why they did it, she didn’t care.

As this did not affect her in any way.

She was a person who did not like to think much when she could make a move. She did not even want to make a move when it could be easily resolved. Since it did not affect her substantially, she could not be bothered to investigate further.

***

The day before the coming-of-age ceremony.

It was a Friday.

Since tomorrow was the coming-of-age ceremony for the two young ladies of the Yan Family, as the number one family in North City, the Yan Family naturally had to hold a grand banquet for their daughter’s coming-of-age ceremony. Therefore, the entire Yan Family was already busy early in the morning. Even Yan Qingyu and Yan Jinyun were on leave at home. Fu Ya didn’t go out to play cards either. It was very lively.

Yan Jinyu had been shopping around North City during this period of time. With Yan Jinyun accompanying her, she naturally had to shop so she also bought a lot of new clothes.

She was wearing a light pink dress today, looking very ladylike.

After witnessing the situation that night and the change in the Yan Family’s attitude towards her, the Yan Family’s servants no longer dared to slight Yan Jinyu.

Upon seeing her appear in the main building, the servants hurriedly greeted her, “Hello, Eldest Missy!” Their attitude was even more respectful than that of Yan Jinyun.

Because they would feel an inexplicable sense of fear every time they met her smiling eyes although Missy always had a clear smile on her face and looked very innocent and harmless.

On second thought, Eldest Missy had even dared to look down on Sir and Madam. Not only did Sir and Madam not do anything to her, but their attitude towards her had also improved.

How could the servants dare to be disrespectful to such a young mistress?

Yan Jinyu smiled calmly and nodded as a response.

They headed straight for the restaurant.

Fu Ya had already eaten breakfast and was instructing the servants to set up the banquet venue for tomorrow. At this moment, only Yan Qingyu and Yan Jinyun were in the dining room.

Yan Jinyu had to pass by the living room when she went to the dining room, so Fu Ya naturally saw her too.

Fu Ya’s eyes slightly paused when she saw that she was wearing a demure long dress that she had never seen before with her long hair hanging down to her waist. Her naturally curled hair paired with her exquisite face and her clear eyes made her rather attractive. Her brows furrowed when she suddenly recalled that she looked even more like the young Feng Yan and she almost cursed out of habit. She thought of something and then stopped, simply turning her face away and not looking at her anymore.

Out of sight, out of mind.

With Yan Jinyu’s hearing ability, she naturally heard Fu Ya snort coldly when she looked away. However, she didn’t take it to heart.

Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya were no different from strangers to Yan Jinyu ever since that night. Her attitude towards them now was alright as long as they didn’t find trouble with her. As for how they treated her, there were only four words.

It did not matter.

She walked straight into the dining room.

The two people who were eating in the dining room looked up at the same time. Yan Jinyu was familiar with their expressions.

It was a little probing and complicated.

Yan Jinyu pretended not to see anything. She walked over and sat down. She looked at Yan Jinyun and smiled as she greeted, “Yun’er, good morning.”

“…Morning.”

This wasn’t the first time Yan Jinyu had greeted her like this, but every time she heard it, Yan Jinyun’s feelings were complicated.

It seemed like Yan Jinyu’s attitude towards her had become better since some time ago.

But she… knew that she wasn’t very friendly to Yan Jinyu.

As the saying went, one shouldn’t hit a smiling person. Yan Jinyu’s attitude towards her made it impossible for her to make her attitude seem worse. However, if she was overly friendly to Yan Jinyu, it wouldn’t match her character…

Hence, she didn’t know how to face Yan Jinyu now.

Yan Jinyun, who had been greeted by Yan Jinyu, already had such a complicated feeling, let alone Yan Qingyu, who was sitting at the head of the table.

Yan Qingyu wasn’t stupid. After more than a month, how could he not sense the change in Yan Jinyu’s attitude towards them?

Actually, she didn’t treat them very well in the past. However, ever since she made things clear that night and said that she was only living in the Yan Family and would pay the corresponding living expenses, although her attitude towards them was still the same, there was obviously something missing.

He knew what was missing, and it was precisely because he knew that his feelings were so complicated.

He clearly did not care about his elder daughter at all and did not even treat her as his daughter before.

Admittedly, Yan Qingyu, who had always prioritized benefits, wasn’t someone who would be hurt by kinship. Part of the reason why his feelings for Yan Jinyu were so complicated was because Yan Jinyu’s decisive action of cutting ties with their parents had touched him. However, it was mostly because of the difference Yan Jinyu had shown.

Yan Qingyu thought a lot about Yan Jinyu’s difference.

Why couldn’t he find out about her difference? Not only he couldn’t find out, but even Master Nine couldn’t? Was it a coincidence or was it because of something else?

She was so different, so it was reasonable for her to be treated differently by Master Nine. In that case, it seemed possible for her to marry into the Yin Family. Then, what should he do to make the Yan Family reap the most benefits? It was already impossible for him to be on good terms with her as Yun’er had said. Should he try his best not to become enemies with her?

Yan Jinyu didn’t know what Yan Qingyu was thinking. Even if she knew, she wouldn’t care.

“Since you’re here, let’s have breakfast.”

Yan Jinyu looked up at him and then continued to eat her breakfast.

Breakfast was over quickly.

Yan Qingyu left the dining room first.

After he left, Yan Jinyun said, “Are you going out again today?” She asked Yan Jinyu, who was about to get up after having breakfast.

Yan Jinyun had been going out often recently. In addition, she was carrying a small bag now, so Yan Jinyun decided to ask her.

However, Yan Jinyun despised herself in her heart again when she met Yan Jinyu’s smiling eyes. What was there to ask about!

“Don’t misunderstand. I’m not concerned about you! I just want to remind you that tomorrow is the birthday party. Aunt and Uncle called and said that they will be returning home today. Mom and Dad are too busy. We have to go to the airport to pick them up. After we pick them up, we still have to try on gowns!”

Yan Jinyu raised her eyebrows. “Didn’t you try on the gown last week?”

“Can’t I try it again? Who knows if I have gotten fat or not after a week?! You can don’t go if you want! You can choose not to try on the gown, but you have to come with me to pick up my aunt and uncle. They’re not my aunt and uncle alone. Why should I pick them up alone!”

“That’s true, but I don’t know them well. It doesn’t matter if I go or not…”

“Who said that!” Before Yan Jinyu could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Yan Jinyun excitedly. She immediately reacted and scolded herself again.

Seriously, why was she so agitated? Also, when did she become so uncalm? Yan Jinyu only said one sentence, and she could not hold it in!

“Anyway, don’t expect me to pick them up alone!”

Yan Jinyu smiled and looked at her. “Alright, I’m going to the airport to pick someone up anyway. We can go together.”

“Are you going out to pick someone up?”

Then she asked, “Who is it?!” Her tone was a little surprised and curious.
