Chapter 6: I Remembered Clearly
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As they were talking, a woman in her forties walked out. She was wearing a formal suit and looked nervous. “Hello, Master Nine. I’m the manager of this shop. My surname is Lu. I didn’t know that you would come to this shop. I apologize for the inadequate service.”
“I’m only here to pick out a few sets of clothes with someone. There’s no need to make a fuss.”
“Yes.” No one knew who was actually able to make Master Nine accompany her!
At this thought, she saw someone walk out of the fitting room.
She had worked in this brand for more than 10 years and had seen all kinds of people. However, she was still stunned when she saw the girl walking out of the fitting room.
It wasn’t that she had never seen someone more beautiful than this girl, but this girl’s temperament was very special.
She’s too clean.
There seemed to be no impurities in her eyes. They were very pure and attractive.
Of course, there were many people of the girl’s age who were clean, but she had never seen anyone who looked clean and had a sense of returning to simplicity.
Yes, returning to simplicity.
It was strange to use such a term to describe a 17-year-old girl, but this was her first impression of the girl.
Seeing the manager, Yan Jinyun suppressed the unwillingness in her heart and went up to Yan Jinyu with reddened eyes. “Sister, you’re my elder sister, right?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYan Jinyu played with her Nokia cell phone, with the shattered screen. She lifted her eyes and looked at the girl who was crying. Her expression was calm. “If you are the second daughter of the Yan family in North City, Yan Jinyun, then the elder sister that you are talking about should be me.”
Yan Jinyun was slightly taken aback. Seeing that Yin Jiujin was also staring at Yan Jinyu, he seemed to be very surprised that Yan Jinyu could recognize her. His eyes flashed slightly.
“Sister, do you still remember me? Or did Master Nine mention it to Sister? Sister, don’t misunderstand. I don’t mean anything else. It’s just that during the years you were missing, there were people who used your identity to acknowledge the Yan family. The Yan Family is a big family in North City. Our assets are close to ten billion. It’s normal for people to prey on us.”
Yan Jinyu looked at her and chuckled lightly. “Are you trying to say that I’m the same as those people, an imposter?”
“No, no, no. That’s not what I meant. Sister, please don’t overthink.”
Yan Jinyu looked at her, then turned to look at the store manager, who was extremely nervous, “Can I trouble the store manager to help me pick a bag? I don’t have anywhere to put my phone.”
The manager looked at the old Nokia in her hand and was speechless for a moment.
“Sure. Please wait a moment, Miss Yan.”
After that, Yan Jinyu looked at Yan Jinyun. “I don’t care what you mean. You don’t have to guard against me like you’re guarding against a thief. To be honest, if Brother Nine hadn’t gone to look for me personally, I might not have come back.”
“I’m very curious as to why I was only two years old when I was abducted. I should be at an age where I can’t remember anything, yet I still remember you and the Yan Family in North City.”
She asked Yin Jiujin. “Isn’t Brother Nine very curious as well?”
Yin Jiujin didn’t say a word and simply looked at her.
He was indeed very curious. Ever since he found out that her name was Yan Jinyu, he had been very curious.
A two-year-old child shouldn’t even remember her real name. Moreover, Yan Jinyu didn’t know how to talk until she was two years old. She didn’t interact much with her family either. The Yan Family said that she might be mentally challenged.
In short, she was a retard.
She should not even remember her own name, let alone her family.
Then how did she know about all this?
Could it really be as Yan Jinyun had said, that she was the same as those people who pretended to be the eldest daughter of the Yan family? Did she have a plan all along?
He had personally investigated her identity, so the chances of a glitch happening were very small. Unless her ability was so great that she could even hide it from him, it was impossible for her past to be fake. Moreover, from the calluses on her hands, it could be seen that she had really suffered, and that could not be faked.
“There’s no need to be surprised. Just because I didn’t speak when I was two doesn’t mean that I don’t know how to speak. My parents thought that I was mentally deficient, but they didn’t know that I had a good memory since I was young. I could recognize everyone at one-year-old, and I could read at two.”
She smiled at Yin Jiujin. “Oh, I also remember that I have a fiancé. However, no one mentioned Brother Nine’s full name in front of me back then. I only know that he’s the Second Young Master of the capital’s Yin Family. This is probably what people often say… early wisdom?”
Yan Jinyun was silent for a moment. He looked at her strangely. “Since you remember everything, why didn’t you go home all these years?”
Yan Jinyu shrugged her shoulders. “Why? Naturally, it’s because I don’t want to go back. I’ve already said that I’ve matured long ago. I remember clearly that my parents only took out half of the ransom to pay for you.”
“You…”
“After Father and Mother disregarded my life, I still remember how I narrowly escaped death from the kidnappers.”
She said that with a smile that scared Yan Jinyun so much that she took a few steps back. “Y-you…”
“Yun’er, don’t be nervous. I’m not blaming you guys. I’ve already said that if Brother Nine hadn’t gone to look for me, I wouldn’t have come back. So even if I did come back, I wouldn’t have thought about your Yan family’s assets. You can be at ease. At the same time, tell Mom and Dad to relax.”
“Of course, I’m not thinking about you guys. Don’t think about me, especially about my… fiancé.”
Especially not her fiancé…
Yin Jiujin, who had been staring at her the entire time, had a slight change in his expression upon hearing this.
Seeing Yan Jinyun’s face get paler and paler, Yan Jinyu looked at Yin Jiujin. “Let’s go, Brother Nine. Accompany me to buy a few more sets of casual wear.”
Under the others’ complicated gazes, Yin Jiujin strode forward and followed her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter that, Yan Jinyu bought a few more sets of casual clothes and walked into the lingerie store in front of Yin Jiujin.
Her expression was normal, but Yin Jiujin felt very uncomfortable. He had no choice but to follow her because he had to pay with his card. It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought of giving her his card so that she could buy whatever she wanted, but Yan Jinyu simply didn’t want to accept his card.
After the awkward shopping trip ended, he asked someone to send the things he bought to the Yan family before accompanying her to buy a phone.
It was almost six o’clock when they returned to the car.
It was dinner time.
Yin Jiujin didn’t send Yan Jinyu to the Yan Family right away. Instead, he found a restaurant to bring her to eat.
When they sat down in the dining room, Yin Jiujin finally asked the question in his heart, “Is what you said at the mall true?”
Yan Jinyu was fiddling with her new phone when she heard him. She looked up at him. “Of course.”
The early wisdom was real; she remembered that everyone in the Yan Family was real; she remembered that her parents did not hesitate to take half of the ransom and chose to save Yan Jinyun, regardless of whether she was dead or alive; it was true that she barely escaped from the kidnappers; it was also true that she remembered the Yan Family but did not intend to return.
Other than the fact that the information which he found out about her was fake, everything else was real.
“You remember everything but would rather suffer outside than come back home?”
“When Grandfather and Grandmother were still alive, I wanted to come back but didn’t have the ability to. Later on, when I had the ability to come back, Grandfather and Grandmother were no longer around. So, why should I come back? No one in the Yan Family welcomed me anyway.”
Yin Jiujin was momentarily speechless. action
This was a fact, but… she was just a young girl. She knew that she could live a wealthy life, but she would rather suffer outside and work countless different jobs than come back. It was hard to understand her.
“Then, why are you willing to come back now?”
Yan Jinyu put down her phone and smiled carefreely. “Didn’t you go to pick me up? You wanted me to come back, so I came back.”
Yin Jiujin wanted to say that he had only found her according to his grandmother’s last wishes. He didn’t really hope for her to return.
However, this was only his initial thought.
She, a little lass, had openly expressed that she did not allow others to think about her fiancé. As a grown man, was he going to be unreasonable and deny this betrothal?
“Let’s eat. After that, I’ll send you to the Yan Family.”
