The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 71: Do You Like It?

An old man in his fifties was trimming the flowers in the small courtyard. When he saw the car coming towards the small courtyard, he quickly put down the scissors in his hand and went forward.

The car drove into the small courtyard and stopped. Seeing the person getting out of the car, the old man said in surprise, “Lin, is Second Young Master back?” He asked Cheng Lin, who was the first to get out of the driver’s seat, his excited eyes sweeping to the back seat with the door closed.

“Yes, Dad.”

The old man’s surname was Cheng. Yin Jiujin had been taken care of by him since he was young. He was the butler of this manor and also Cheng Lin’s adoptive father.

Cheng Lin was an orphan who had been brought back by Yin Jiujin in the past and was raised under Butler Cheng’s name.

He was not even ten years old when Yin Jiujin brought him back. Hence, although Cheng Lin seemed to be Yin Jiujin’s driver on the surface, he was actually Yin Jiujin’s right-hand man like Lin Zimu.

Lin Zimu got out of the car and greeted, “Uncle Cheng.” He seemed to respect Butler Cheng very much.

“Zimu is back too.”

Lin Zimu smiled and nodded. At this moment, Cheng Lin had already walked over and opened the car door of the backseat. “Master Nine, we’ve arrived.”

Uncle Cheng was stunned for a moment when he saw the cold man getting out of the car. He was once again moved by the fact that the child he had watched grow up to be so outstanding. His character had become increasingly indifferent and unpredictable.

“Second Young Master.”

Yin Jiujin nodded slightly. “Uncle Cheng.” Uncle Cheng’s status in the manor was evident from Yin Jiujin’s greeting.

However, Uncle Cheng did not feel smug or fearful. Instead, he smiled happily. “Second Young Master hasn’t been back for a while. There are a few good vegetables planted at home. I’ll get my wife to make a few home-cooked dishes…”

Uncle Cheng paused in shock.

He saw the cold and distant person walking to the other side of the car and opening the door himself!

Second Young Master brought a guest back?!

And he personally opened the car door!

Mount Jing was under the Old Madam’s name in the early years, and the Old Madam had given it to Second Young Master on his tenth birthday. Second Young Master started to rebuild Mount Jing when he started to set foot in the business world at 14 years old. Up until now, for a whole ten years, Master Nine had never brought any guests to Mount Jing!

Even in the Yin Family, only Eldest Young Master, Sir, Madam, Old Master, and Old Madam had stepped foot in there. Even Second Young Master’s sister-in-law, Eldest Young Madam, and Second Young Master’s aunt had never come to Mount Jing!

Even so, other than Old Master and Old Madam, Sir, Madam, and Young Master had only been to Mount Jing once.

But now, Second Young Master actually brought a guest back!

Not only that, Second Young Master actually opened the car door for her personally!

Who on earth could be so influential? Or rather, who could be so special to the Second Young Master who treated everyone coldly?

Uncle Cheng was surprised and curious. It was rare for him to be so rude as to look over.

His eyes widened in shock when he saw who it was.

It was actually a young girl!

This…

Uncle Cheng was an old man who had been by Yin Jiujin’s side for many years. Although his heart was in turmoil, he quickly calmed down.

Since Yin Jiujin had instructed him to install a swing in the courtyard, he had roughly guessed the girl’s identity.

The eldest daughter of the Yan Family, Second Young Master’s fiancée.

Although Second Master did not say who the swing was prepared for, it was not difficult to guess at the critical juncture of Miss Yan’s return.

He only heard that Second Young Master treated this Miss Yan a little differently. Not only did he personally fetch her back to North City, but he also accompanied her to shop, eat, and then sent her to the Yan Family personally. However, she didn’t expect that it was already so different.

He calmed herself down and went forward. “Second Young Master, who is this lady?” It was not a deliberate inquiry, but a polite inquiry.

“The eldest daughter of the Yan Family.”

“Little Yu, this is Uncle Cheng.”

Xiao Yu…

Looking at him, the smile in Yan Jinyu’s eyes deepened.

She naturally didn’t think that the person Yin Jiujin had specially introduced to her was an ordinary servant. “Uncle Cheng.” Her tone was neither intimate nor distant, but it was very polite.

She could still tell if Uncle Cheng’s smile was genuine or fake.

The girl was young and looked very obedient. Her smile was innocent and sincere.

Nice.

People liked obedient and innocent children when they were old.

However, if Second Young Master really had feelings for her, it did not seem to be a good thing for her to be too innocent. After all, Second Young Master would return to the capital sooner or later. Facing those people in the capital, people who were too innocent would probably suffer if they followed Second Young Master.

Thinking about it this way, compared to her likable innocence, he suddenly wished that Miss Yan was not as she looked on the surface. Instead, she was the kind of person who was scheming but liked to pretend to be harmless.

“Hello, Miss Yan.”

At this moment, someone walked out of the villa quickly. “Is Second Young Master back?”

She was a kind-looking middle-aged woman.

“Mom,” Cheng Lin said.

“Aunt Cheng.” It was Yin Jiujin and Lin Zimu who spoke at the same time. However, Yin Jiujin’s voice was clearly much lower and colder.

Yan Jinyu also called out, “Aunt Cheng.”

Aunt Cheng ran out after hearing the sound of the car engine and she was pleasantly surprised that Yin Jiujin had returned. When she saw Yan Jinyu standing beside Yin Jiujin, her eyes lit up. What a beautiful young lady. She was simply like the Madam Yan of the past!

Auntie Cheng had seen Feng Yan when she was with Old Madam Yin.

“It’s Miss Yu! It’s been many years since we last met. Miss Yu has already grown up. I still remember that back then, Miss Yu was still in her infancy. I followed Old Madam to visit the Yan Family and even hugged you.”

She recognized her immediately.

Yan Jinyu smiled. “Hello, Aunt Cheng.” This time, she sounded more sincere than before.

“Aye. It’s great. It’s good that Miss Yu is back. If Old Madam was still around and saw Miss Yu not only coming back but also coming to Mount Jing, she would be very happ…”

“Aunt Cheng,” Yin Jiujin interrupted with a frown.

Aunt Cheng wasn’t stupid either. The moment Yin Jiujin spoke, she realized that she had misspoken. “Sigh, the sun is too bright outside. Let’s enter the house first.”

Miss Yu had been missing for so many years and suffered so much outside. It was hard to guarantee that she would not make Miss Yu sad when she mentioned this.

It was all because she was too excited to see Miss Yu that she lost her composure.

Old Madam had been looking for Miss Yu after Madam Yan passed away, but she had never been able to find her. She still remembered her until her dying days. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have left behind her last words for Second Young Master to find her.

Fortunately, Second Young Master went to find her personally. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn’t even know if Miss Yu was still alive.

However, even if Second Young Master searched for her personally, it would still take him three years to find her.

“Let’s go in,” Yin Jiujin said to Yan Jinyu.

Then, he stopped after taking two steps and asked her, “Do you like the scenery here?” He probably felt that it did not match his character when he asked this question. His expression was a little unnatural, but since he had already asked, it would inevitably seem deliberate if he left without waiting for her answer, so he could only wait.

To be honest, Yan Jinyu didn’t expect him to ask her this at all. She blinked in surprise. Yin Jiujin was really different from the rumors outside.

No, it should be said that the rumors about Yin Jiujin weren’t false. He only treated her differently.

Yan Jinyu felt even happier.

“I like it very much.” As if afraid that he would not believe her, she emphasized, “Really, I like it very much.” Although she was young, her knowledge was not something that ordinary people could compare to. Now, there were very few things that she could say that she liked, let alone that she liked it very much.

“There are flowers, grass, trees, birds, vegetables and fruits. The environment is elegant and the air is fresh. I like it very much.”

She pointed at the swing over there. “Especially that swing. It’s my favorite. I’ve never swung a swing since I was young.” Actually, she didn’t really like it that much. She just felt that with Yin Jiujin’s character, there was actually a swing in his courtyard. The contrast was adorable, and she subconsciously became more interested.

“Brother Nine, can I go to the swing after lunch?”

“You can touch anything here. You don’t have to ask.” She had never swung a swing before…

It was just a swing. It was nothing special.

The young lady was really pitiful.

“Then, Brother Nine, will you help push me later?”

“Yes.” He raised his hand and rubbed her head. “Let’s go in first. You’re already rather silly. If you continue to bask in the sun, you’ll become even more silly.”

Yan Jinyu slapped his hand away and glared at him. “You’re the silly one!” She didn’t even know how serious her brain could be and yet he actually said that she was silly. She didn’t even know what his judgement was like!

However, Yan Jinyu didn’t know that her glare didn’t have any deterrence in Yin Jiujin’s eyes. Instead, it made him feel that her round eyes were very cute when she glared at him.

Hence, under the bewildered gazes of everyone, Yin Jiujin stared at Yan Jinyu, who had stormed into the house angrily, for a while.

His lips curled up slightly as he followed.
