Chapter 21: Not A Dumb Sweetie

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

On that day, Yan Qingyu, Fu Yayan, and Yan Jinyun returned home one after another. They found out from Butler Wan that Yan Jinyu had been to the old residence. They wanted to tell her off during dinner, but Yan Jinyu did not come to the main building to eat. Instead, she got someone to send dinner to her room.

The three of them were so angry with her.

This was especially so for Fu Ya and Yan Jinyun. Yan Jinyu had already returned to the Yan family, and the people outside already knew about it. Today, regardless of whether it was Fu Ya who was playing cards or Yan Jinyun who was in school, Yan Jinyu was the most that they heard.

After a day of hearing “Yan Jinyu” again and again made them extremely annoyed.

They had yet to vent their anger and then they heard from the butler that Yan Jinyu had been to the old residence the moment they came back. Hence, they got even angrier. However, Yan Jinyu stayed in the room and did not come out, so they had no place to vent their anger.

“What is she doing at the old residence?” Fu Ya threw a glance at Butler Wan as she ate.

“That… I’m not too sure. After sending Eldest Missy to the entrance of the old mansion, I came back. Madam also knows that we can’t enter the old residence on our own without permission. But from what I see, Eldest Missy should be going over there to pay respects to the deceased Old Master and Old Madam.”

Fu Ya slammed her chopsticks on the table, “Since you know that you’re not allowed to enter the old residence without permission, so why did you bring her there!”

“Erm… I-I thought that since Eldest Missy is different from us, I-I didn’t think too much about it. Next time, I definitely won’t act on my own again.”

Yan Jinyun also stopped eating and looked at Butler Wan, “You said that Sister went to the old residence to pay respects to Grandfather and Grandmother?”

“Yes, Second Missy.”

“Since she’s going there to pay respects to Grandfather and Grandmother, it’s not a big deal for Sister to go to the old residence without informing Father and Mother. After all, she’s filial. Besides, Sister is the eldest daughter of the Yan Family. If she wants to go to the old residence, Butler Wan can’t stop her either. Mother, don’t be angry with him.”

Was Second Miss speaking up for him?

Realizing that, Butler Wan was very grateful to Yan Jinyun.

Fu Ya glanced at Yan Jinyun, “Forget it. I can’t be bothered with her. Because of her, I’ve lost all my face in front of those ladies today. I have no appetite. You guys go ahead and eat. I’m going upstairs!”

It would be fine if those ladies only asked her if she had already found her long-lost elder daughter. They even said that they heard that the elder daughter grew up in an orphanage in a remote village and dropped out of school before she even went to high school. This way, even if she had an engagement, it would be difficult for her to marry into the Yin Family. Did she need their help to find a few teachers to teach her…

It seemed like they meant well, but they were, in fact, mocking her.

All these years, she had a daughter who was the top socialite in North City. She was also the lady of the Yan Family, and her husband didn’t play around outside. She had always been the target of flattery. If it wasn’t for this girl Yan Jinyu, she wouldn’t have to suffer like this!

She was borned to make life difficult for her. It was no wonder that she did not like her elder daughter since she was young.

Yan Qingyu was still looking at Yan Jinyun in admiration when he suddenly heard Fu Ya’s words. He frowned, “Enough, I can’t even have a peaceful meal!”

“What are you shouting at me for! Can’t I even complain if I’m in a bad mood?”

Slap! Yan Jinyun put down the chopsticks in her hands, making both Fu Ya and Yan Qingyu stare at her in shock.

“I’m done eating!” Her mother wasn’t the only one who was angry. She could tolerate anything for the sake of what she wanted. Why couldn’t her mother tolerate Yan Jinyu? Why was she making so much noise while eating?! If her mother continued to make a fuss, when would she be able to completely gain Yan Jinyu’s trust?

She would have to keep tolerating Yan Jinyu if she couldn’t achieve her goal. She didn’t want to live like this for too long.

Only after Yan Jinyun went upstairs did Fu Ya, who was standing there, come back to her senses. She asked curiously, “What happened to Yun’er?”

“You still have the cheek to ask? Even Yun’er is more sensible than you. Have you forgotten what I told you last night? In the end, Jinyu is still our daughter. It’s better for us to remain on good terms with her.”

“I know. I just… never mind. I’ll try to hold back from now on.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Jinyun, who was upstairs, shouted at the top of the stairs. “When we were having breakfast this morning, Sister said that she wanted to move back to her original room. I told her that it would be difficult to renovate her original room. I promised her that she could choose any villa behind the main building and turn it into her room. Mom, you need to look for someone to handle this matter.” action

Fu Ya, who had just held back, became furious again when she heard this, “What?! The place she used to live in might not even be as big as a third of the room she’s in now. She actually wants to renovate the room. Does she really think that the Yan Family’s money comes from nothing?”

“That’s none of my business. It’s up to you, Mommy.”

“Alright, stop arguing! If you don’t go out and play cards for two days, the money that you lost will be enough to pay for the renovation fees! If you make a fuss over such a small matter, who will be embarrassed if word gets out?” Once Yan Qingyu mentioned losing money, Fu Ya lost her confidence.

She snorted coldly. “Up to you! She requested to renovate her room on the first day that she got home. One look and you can tell that she’s a restless person. You can indulge her but you’ll suffer in the future!”

Although Yan Qingyu did not like Fu Ya speaking to him in such a tone, he felt that her words might be reasonable after thinking about it.

She requested to renovate her room on the first day she returned home. This was not the courage of someone who had grown up in the countryside and had not seen the world. Also, Yun’er actually suffered a loss in front of her… She was clearly very unhappy, but she still had to agree to her request.

It seemed like he could not underestimate his elder daughter.

While they were arguing, Yan Jinyu had already finished the dinner that Zhao Ling sent to her room. At this moment, she was standing by the window and applying the hand repair cream Yin Jiujin had asked Cheng Lin to send over according to the instructions. She placed her phone on the table and played some light music.

It was quiet and peaceful here, a stark contrast to the main building.

There were two reasons why Yan Jinyu stayed in the room and did not go to the main building for dinner.

Firstly, she had made a trip to the old residence this afternoon. The complicated emotions that she had suppressed in her heart had yet to dissipate completely. She wasn’t in the mood to deal with the Yan Family. Secondly, she had told Yan Jinyun about the renovation of the room this morning. She knew that once Yan Jinyun told Fu Ya about it, Fu Ya would definitely get angry. She couldn’t be bothered to deal with it, so she decided not to meet Fu Ya.

She also knew that after this incident, Yan Qingyu would no longer think that she was an ignorant fool and would definitely be wary of her.

Hence, for the next few days, Yan Jinyu didn’t go to the main building again. Zhao Ling would send her three meals a day. There was a living room and a courtyard in the small villa. She could watch television in the living room on the first floor of the small villa. When she got tired of watching, she would go to the courtyard to run and practice boxing. It was extremely enjoyable for her.

Yan Qingyu was no longer guarded against her when she appeared at the main building a week later.

On this day, it was already 10 am when Yan Jinyu appeared in the living room of the main building in a floral dress.

It was a Sunday, so Yan Qingyu didn’t go to the office. Fu Ya didn’t go out to play cards either. Yan Jinyun was still at home too.

The three people sitting on the sofa looked up at her the moment she appeared.

Yan Jinyu hadn’t shown up for a week, and they had almost forgotten that there was such a person at home. Even though they still felt unhappy when they occasionally heard someone mention her name outside.

After a week, the three of them had calmed down. Even Fu Ya no longer got angry whenever she saw Yan Jinyu.

Yan Jinyun frowned slightly when she saw Yan Jinyu’s fresh and elegant attire that could attract the attention of others from afar.

She quickly covered it up and put on a kind and gentle smile. “Sister, you’re finally willing to come out. Zhao Ling said that you’ve been staying in your room for the past few days and didn’t want to come out. I wanted to visit you but I was afraid of disturbing you. Sister, come and sit here first. Mom got the kitchen’s staff to prepare some snacks. They taste good. Come and try them too.” Her attitude was so good that those who didn’t know might think that they were indeed close sisters.
