Speaking of Xu Gui, he used to be very afraid of Luo Yikun.
Moreover, he was Feng Yuan’s brother and Feng Yuan had always been at odds with Luo Yikun. He and Luo Yikun were actually considered to be on opposite sides and rarely interacted.
Even if he wasn’t afraid of Luo Yikun, he wouldn’t speak to Luo Yikun so strangely.
However, that was in the past.
He was not so afraid of Luo Yikun anymore ever since he bumped into Luo Yikun, who had been drugged while playing in the bar some time ago. He suddenly decided to step forward kindly and help Luo Yikun back to his bachelor apartment.
On the contrary, he began to dislike Luo Yikun every time they met.
Xu Gui was extremely glad every time he thought about that night.
If he hadn’t pushed Luo Yikun away with all his might and knocked him out before dragging him to the bathroom and soaking him in cold water for the entire night on such a cold day, he would have lost his virginity.
Luo Yikun looked at him. “Why do you care?”
Xu Gui was so frightened that he had goosebumps. “Who cares? It’s not like I’m crazy!”
“Since you don’t care, what are you saying all that?”
“I’m free. Can’t I?!”
Luo Yikun looked at him and retracted his gaze after one glance, making Xu Gui feel puzzled.
After sitting down, Feng Yuan asked curiously, “Xu Gui, what conflict did you guys have?”
“Who has a conflict with him? I’m simply bored!”
“Have you eaten explosives? Why are you so angry?” Feng Yuan sized him up inexplicably, “Speaking of which, Xu Gui, you’ve been very strange recently. You seem to be very angry, especially when you see Luo Yikun. You don’t have such a deep relationship with him, right? Why do you have to scold him every time we meet?”
Actually, what Feng Yuan wanted to say was, You aren’t that bold, right? You even dare to provoke Luo Yikun now.
On second thought, they were brothers after all. He would not be giving him face by saying that.
“And Luo Yikun, have you changed your character recently? I haven’t seen any female creatures around you for a while. Also, when did you become so good-tempered? Xu Gui has dissed you so many times, but you didn’t get angry? This isn’t like you!”
“Yuan!”
Feng Yuan looked at Xu Gui, “What are you afraid of? So what if you diss him. We aren’t afraid of him.”
“Feng Yuan, you’re wrong. Am I not a woman?” As Zhao Yue spoke, she wanted to sit forward and hold Luo Yikun’s hand, but Luo Yikun avoided her.
He looked at her. “I don’t have the habit of turning back. You’re really not my woman now.”
At this moment, Zhao Yue couldn’t understand Luo Yikun’s gaze. She was a little frightened by him.
She didn’t dare to go up and hold his arm again.
However, she didn’t want to be embarrassed in front of so many people. She pretended to glare at him coquettishly. “Second Young Master Luo, you’re being heartless now.”
“Besides, I simply just started to pursue you then. I’ve never been with you before. How can I be considered as turning back?”
Luo Yikun looked at her with a faint smile.
Zhao Yue’s expression froze.
Xu Gui snorted coldly in disdain. Luo Yikun looked at him again.
Xu Gui sat further away with goosebumps all over his body.
Seeing this, Luo Qiu covered her lips and chuckled, “Young Master Xu, don’t take it to heart. My Second Brother was indeed a little fickle in the past. He has mellowed down recently. You’ve seen it too. There are no women around my Second Brother recently.”
Xu Gui glared at her too. “What does it have to do with me?”
Luo Qiu shrugged and didn’t argue with him.
Luo Yikun glanced at Xu Gui again with an unknown meaning. He retracted his gaze and looked at Yan Jinyu, who was sitting in the corner. “Eldest Miss Yan, long time no see.”
He suddenly greeted Yan Jinyu, and everyone looked at him.
In comparison, Yan Jinyu was the calmest.
She looked up at him calmly. “It hasn’t been long either. I only met you the last time I discussed a collaboration with Miss Luo.” It had only been half a year since she returned to North City.
However, Luo Yikun’s sudden greeting surprised her.
Ever since Luo Yikun had sent her two messages telling her about Luo Yilin’s whereabouts, she knew that Luo Yikun was not a simple person.
She was even more certain that Luo Yikun wasn’t simple when she negotiated with Luo Qiu previously.
She didn’t want to interact with him too much.
It was not that she was afraid, but she was too lazy to provoke trouble.
“Is that so? I just feel that it’s been a long time.” After saying that, he didn’t say anything else, making everyone present very puzzled.
Would Luo Yikun dare to say that he had taken a fancy to Yan Jinyu and had designs on her?
Who had the guts to snatch a girl from Master Nine?
Perhaps someone did, but that person was definitely not in North City.
Only Yan Jinyu looked at Luo Yikun with a smile in her eyes before retracting her gaze.
She opened the yogurt that Yan Jinyun had given her and took another sip.
Actually, she hadn’t been drinking yogurt recently.
She did not know if it was because there had been nothing that had been too unpleasant recently, so she no longer felt frustrated and her emotions were controllable.
Seeing that she had drunk the yogurt, Yan Jinyun smiled imperceptibly.
Yan Jinyun then “unintentionally” pushed the snacks in front of her to her. “It’s almost the new year. Do you want to go back to the Yan Family for the new year?”
Yan Jinyu paused in her actions of picking up a snack with her chopsticks. She didn’t look at her and replied calmly, “No.”
Yan Jinyun clenched her fists. “It’s good that you’re not returning.” She didn’t have to feel frustrated.
Actually, after she became the head of the family, she had already gotten someone to build a villa in the Yan Family’s mansion area and specially hired a team to design it. That villa and the courtyard were all prepared for Yan Jinyu.
However, she did not say much about it. Even Feng Yuan did not know.
“Then where will you spend the New Year? Mount Jing?”
Yan Jinyu looked up and smiled at her, “No, I’ll probably go to the capital with Brother Nine.” It wasn’t to show off, but the atmosphere was heavy. She didn’t like it, so she used her smile to ease the heavy atmosphere.
It was also to inform Yan Jinyun that she would be going to the capital for a period of time.
“To the capital?” Yan Jinyun frowned slightly, “The Yin Family?”
“I guess so.”
“Will the Yin Family… make things difficult for you if you go to the Yin Family?”
Yan Jinyu saw that she was extremely worried and smiled, “Don’t worry, I’ve met the Yin Family. They treat me quite well.” The only person who would make things difficult for her, Min Qinglan, had also been frightened by her once. She probably wouldn’t dare to find trouble with her again.
Of course, Yan Jinyun didn’t believe her.
The wife of the head of the Yin Family valued family status the most. How could she possibly treat Yan Jinyu well?
Yan Jinyu must have lied to her because she didn’t want her to be worried.
“I’ll manage the Yan Corporation well.” These words sounded like a promise.
She didn’t elaborate, but Yan Jinyu understood.
She felt a little complicated. She didn’t know if she was more happy or worried.
She was happy that Yan Jinyun was indeed a soft-hearted person. She even wanted to develop the Yan Corporation and be her backing.
She was worried that Yan Jinyun would be in danger if she got too close to Yan Jinyun.
Complicated.
She wondered when life would be simpler.
“Of course, it’s your responsibility to take over the Yan Corporation.”
“…” Yan Jinyun. She was so heartless. Couldn’t she tell what she was trying to say?
“Do you want me to prepare gifts for you when you go to the Yin Family? After all, this is your first time visiting. It’s not good to go empty-handed.”
Yan Jinyu couldn’t help but laugh. She looked at her, “Yun’er, don’t tell me you really think you’re my parent? Why do I need you to consider these things for me? Are you my younger sister or not?”
“…I’m the head of the Yan Family. To outsiders, you’re representing the Yan Family by visiting someone else’s house. You can’t embarrass the Yan Family!”
“Alright, then you’ll prepare them. I’ll go to the capital in about 10 days. Get someone to send them to Mount Jing when you’re ready.” After saying that, Yan Jinyu chuckled again.
Zhao Yue clenched her fists when she saw how they interacted.
Yan Jinyun used to act like she didn’t like Yan Jinyu very much in front of her, but now, she was so “close to her”!
It was indeed the highest level of being a hypocritical fake person!
Hmph, she couldn’t afford to provoke Yan Jinyu and the Yan Family. Then, she would just wait to watch the show!
She wanted to see how long this sisterhood could last!
However, Luo Yikun’s eyes flickered when he saw the two of them interacting like this.
“Is Eldest Miss Yan going to the capital too?”
Everyone looked at him again.
Luo Yikun chuckled. “Qiu’s maternal family is in the capital. We’re preparing to make a trip to the capital soon. In that case, we’re really fated.”
Luo Qiu frowned slightly.
She didn’t seem to have said that she was going to the capital.
However, since she had taken over the Luo Family, she really should take some time to visit her real grandfather in the capital.
After acknowledging a thief as her mother for so many years, she had let down her mother and her family.
All these years, she had not even visited her aged grandmother once.
At the thought of this, she didn’t interrupt Luo Yikun.
Luo Yikun had obviously expected that she wouldn’t interrupt.
He smiled at her as if he had already arranged everything.
At this moment, Luo Qiu had even fewer objections. She had a good relationship with Luo Yikun, and Luo Yikun had even helped her a lot by seizing the power of the Luo Family.
Now that Luo Yilin was lying in the hospital in a vegetative state, Zhang Mei had been detained in the police station and would be in prison for the rest of her life, and her father was shocked and locked himself up in his room, the person she trusted the most was Luo Yikun.
Of course, she had no objections to Luo Yikun’s arrangements.
Yan Jinyu chuckled, “Is that so? Then we’re indeed fated.”
***
After that, the small gathering ended very calmly.
It was still early, so Yan Jinyu didn’t call Yin Jiujin. Instead, she called a car and headed to the Empire Group.
Yin Jiujin was a little surprised to see her in the office.
Naturally, they made out again.
Half a month passed calmly. Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin boarded the plane and headed to the capital.
Yan Jinyu even brought a few gifts that Yan Jinyun had meticulously prepared.
She didn’t meet the Luo cousins on the plane dramatically.
She didn’t meet the Luo cousins, but she met someone else.
She didn’t know Yan Jinyu, but Yan Jinyu knew her.
