“Sister, it’s still early. Where do you want to go?” Yan Jinyun asked Yan Jinyu with a smile after they left the Yan family’s mansion.
Yan Jinyu turned her head and met Yan Jinyun’s bright smile.
She clearly didn’t like her, but she had to pretend to be kind. Sometimes, Yan Jinyu really admired Yan Jinyun.
She retracted her gaze and said to the driver, “Stop at the nearest convenience store.”
The driver didn’t know what had happened in the Yan family’s main building, so he didn’t have much respect for Yan Jinyu. However, when he saw Yan Jinyun’s attitude towards her, he didn’t dare to show his disdain towards Yan Jinyu.
After Yan Jinyu finished speaking, the chauffeur didn’t reply immediately. Instead, he turned around and looked at Yan Jinyun.
Even a chauffeur did not take Yan Jinyu seriously. Although Yan Jinyu made her feel threatened, compared to her, Yan Jinyu was still a far cry.
At least in most people’s eyes, Yan Jinyu was far inferior to her.
Hiding the smugness in her eyes, she said to the driver, “Sister is the eldest daughter of the Yan Family. Her words are my words. Do as Sister says.”
She was clearly speaking up for Yan Jinyu, but the meaning behind her words was to let the chauffeur know that her status was still above Yan Jinyu’s.
“Yes, Second Missy.”
Of course, Yan Jinyu had also heard their conversation, including the driver’s disregard for her. However, she didn’t care. The black phone spun in her hand as she tapped on her lap. Her gaze was directed beyond the car window.
After leaving the Yan Family, the frustration in her heart dissipated.
Yan Jinyun looked up and sized her up. All she could see was her exquisite side profile. An unknown gleam flashed past Yan Jinyun’s eyes.
“What do you want to buy from the convenience store?”
Yan Jinyu retracted her gaze from the window, “Yogurt.”
Yan Jinyun was stunned for a moment before she smiled, “It seems like Sister really likes to drink yogurt. I’ve never drunk yogurt in my entire life. Sister, buy one more packet later so I can try it too and see what kind of magic it has that makes Sister like it so much.”
“Do you want to drink it?”
Of course not. Couldn’t she tell that she was mocking her?
“That’s right. I want to try something that Sister likes so much.”
Yan Jinyu smiled, “If you want to drink, buy it yourself.”
“What?” Yan Jinyun thought that she had heard wrongly.
“I said, if you want to drink, buy it yourself. I don’t have the money to buy extra.”
Yan Jinyun’s expression was a little hard to describe. It was just as she expected. She had indeed come from a small place. It was just a packet of yogurt, at most ten dollars. How stingy!
Did she really think she would drink something so cheap?
She forced a smile, “What are you talking about, Sister? Daddy gave me a card. Of course, I’ll be responsible for Sister’s expenses today.”
“There’s no need for that. Although I don’t have extra money to buy it for you, I have enough to buy them on my own.” Just like that, the topic that Yan Jinyun had tried so hard to bring up was ruined by her.
“Whatever you say, as long as you’re happy.”
After a while, the car stopped beside a convenience store.
Yan Jinyu opened the car door and got off without even telling them.
Yan Jinyu stopped in her tracks when she reached the convenience store and looked up at the car not far away.
Her quick glance seemed to be unintentional.
She then entered the convenience store and took out ten packets of yogurt from the fridge, “Boss, check please.”
The boss flicked a glance at the ten packets of yogurt on the counter and then looked at her strangely.
It was not strange to buy 10 packets of yogurt. It was strange for a young lady to be able to bring 10 packets of yogurt from the fridge in one go.
It was not because the yogurt was heavy, but because it was difficult to maintain a balance with so many packets stacked on top of each other. Yet, she actually managed to take them steadily.
However, when the boss saw her, he was stunned.
What a clean and pretty girl.
“A total of 85 dollars. Do you want to pay cash or…?” The cans that Yan Jinyu took cost 8.50 dollars each.
“WeChat.”
“Just scan this QR code.”
Yan Jinyu paid the bill and walked out of the convenience store with the plastic bag containing nine packets of yogurt. As for why there were nine packets, obviously she was drinking from one of them.
She glanced up again as she sipped her yogurt.
The car slowed down visibly.
It was so obvious that he was looking down on her.
Oh, right. She was just a normal girl now. In their eyes, she was just a country bumpkin who came from a remote and small place.
Then, it was understandable that these people were following her so obviously.
After finishing the packet, she threw it into the rubbish bin by the roadside. Yan Jinyun, who was sitting in the car, was stunned.
Perhaps, she could throw so accurately because the rubbish bin was so close to her?
That must be it. Yan Jinyu’s document did not have any description of this.
However for some reason, she simply felt uneasy.
After Yan Jinyu returned to the car, Yan Jinyun looked at the plastic bag she was carrying in disdain. “Sister, why did you buy so many?”
“I only bought ten packets. Oh, there are only nine left now. It’s not much.” After saying that, she ignored Yan Jinyun and took another can to drink.
When the second can was finished, she took out the third.
Yan Jinyun really disliked it, but looking at Yan Jinyu’s expression, it seemed like it was really delicious. She couldn’t help but ask, “Is it really that delicious?”
“It’s alright,” Yan Jinyu replied calmly.
It actually wasn’t very delicious to her. Even if it was really delicious, after drinking it for so many years and tasted all kinds of brands and flavors, it was no longer interesting to her.
She was just used to it.
“You bought so many of them. Can you finish them?”
She had finished the third can and was about to take the fourth, “Of course.”
Seeing her like this, Yan Jinyun knew that she had asked a stupid question. With her speed, she would probably finish it in no time.
Yan Jinyun couldn’t bear to look at her any longer. She simply looked away from her and looked straight ahead, “Where do you want to go next, Sister?”
“You know North City better than I do. You decide.”
Yan Jinyun looked at her and saw that she was about to take out the fifth bottle. She said, “No matter how much you like it, you can’t drink it like this. You’ll spoil your stomach.”
After saying that, Yan Jinyun furrowed her eyebrows. Yan Jinyu’s hand that was holding the yogurt paused for a moment. She didn’t look at her as she murmured, “Is that so?”
However, she put the packet of yogurt back.
The frustration that she had suppressed emerged again. However, Yan Jinyu didn’t want to drink yogurt anymore. She placed the plastic bag on the seat beside her and placed her phone on her lap. Her right hand habitually caressed the “watch” on her left wrist.
For a long time, the car was silent.
Until Yan Jinyu’s phone vibrated.
It was a text message. It could be clearly seen that the message came from the person who was called “Brother Nine”. It wasn’t anything important and there were only a few words: “Have you eaten lunch?”
It was almost lunchtime.
During this period of time, no matter how busy Yin Jiujin was, he would at least send Yan Jinyu a message every day. Most of the time, he would send them at mealtimes. It wasn’t anything important, just like this message. He would either ask her if she had eaten, ask her if she was used to living in the Yan Family, or remind her to use the things he got people to send to care for her hand…
Yan Jinyu picked up her phone and replied: “No, I’ll eat later. How about you, Brother Nine? Have you eaten?”
[I’m eating now.]
[Okay, go ahead and eat. I won’t disturb you anymore.]
There was no response from the other side anymore.
He must be with a client for dinner at this hour, yet he sent her a message while they were eating.
Yan Jinyu suddenly felt better.
Yan Jinyun, who had witnessed this scene, had a tense expression on her face. She gripped the handbag tightly on her knee. “Then let’s go shopping right away. Let’s go to the Empire Mall where I met you last time. How about that?”
Yan Jinyu lowered her eyes to look at her phone. No one could see the emotions in her eyes. “Anything is fine. Yun’er will decide.”
Yan Jinyu wasn’t very close to her, but ever since Yan Jinyu returned to the Yan family, the way she addressed her had never changed.
Yun’er…
Just like how her parents addressed her.
Yan Jinyun tightened her grip on her bag. “Alright, I often go to the Empire Mall. I know there’s a shortcut from here. Let’s go there. It’ll be faster. In that case, we’ll have time to eat at the mall.”
Yan Jinyu finally lifted her eyes to look at her. She smiled lightly. “Anything is fine. As long as you can make it.” After saying that, she took out another packet of yogurt and drank it slowly.
This time, Yan Jinyun didn’t say anything.
