Chapter 571: Not Returning To The Capital

Little Yuer, have you come down from the mountain?

Mm-hm. Yan Jinyu lay on the bed and video-called Yin Jiujin.

This was the first time she had video-called Yin Jiujin since she arrived at Zhao Linlins house. It was naturally the first time Yin Jiujin had seen the guest room layout of Zhao Linlins house.

Are you in your room now?

Yes, does Brother Nine want to see the room Im staying in Linlins house?

Without waiting for Yin Jiujin to reply, she picked up her phone and spun it around. See? Although its simple, its very clean.

Yin Jiujin noticed the blanket on her bed.

He knew very well that Yan Jinyu had the habit of changing the quilt cover when she stayed in the hotel. He had helped her pack her luggage, and he also knew very well that she had brought a quilt cover.

But she didnt change it.

The rough blanket was not as comfortable as the one he had specially picked for her.

However, she still did not change it.

What a kind girl.

She must not want her cla.s.smates and cla.s.smates parents to think too much.

Not bad, Yin Jiujin said.

Stand up and move your phone further away. I want to see if youre injured.

Yan Jinyu washed up casually and changed her clothes. Her hair was let loose now.

She stood up and did as she was told.

Brother Nine, take a good look. Im really not injured.

Im very obedient. Im not injured. Yin Jiujin felt relieved.

I already said that Im not injured, but you still dont believe me. Its not like you dont know my skills. How can I be injured?I already said that Im not injured, but you still dont believe me. Its not like you dont know my skills. How can I be injured?

Brother Nine, have you returned to the company?

Yes, Im in the office.

Then go ahead. Linlins grandfather is treating her wound now and Ill go take a look.

Go ahead. Remember to have lunch.

Yan Jinyu then remembered that it was almost three in the afternoon and she had yet to have lunch.

Of course, the others didnt have lunch either.

Ill remember to.

***

Jinyu bandaged it, Zhao Linlin replied.

That girls technique is not bad and she has learned Chinese medicine very well. The herbs that she found are the most suitable for your injuries. You dont have to change them for the time being. This young mans dislocation is also handled very well. Be it the medicine or the dressing method, theyre all closed to very experienced medical pract.i.tioners methods. He basically doesnt need me to do anything. You dont have any serious injuries on you either. Youll be fine after resting for a while.

Thank you, Grandpa Zhao.

Theres no need to thank me. I still have to thank you. If you hadnt saved Linlin, Linlin wouldnt have only suffered light injuries.

Why is that girl from the Mo Family so evil at such a young age? Fortunately, you guys are fine. Otherwise, I would have fought the Mo Family even if I had to sacrifice these old bones!

Grandfather, dont bother about Mo Qian. Sister Jinyu had taught her a lesson on the mountain just now. Shes so frightened that shes crying for her parents. She probably wont dare to do such a thing again in the future.

That little girl again?

Of course. If it wasnt for Sister Jinyu, how could we have found Sister and Brother Jiang so quickly? Sister Jinyu found them first and then sent us the location. When we found Sister and Brother Jiang, Sister Jinyu had already bandaged their wounds and waited for us for a long time.

I heard from your uncles that Jinyu slapped Mo Qian? Mother Zhao asked.

Yes, she was beaten up very badly. It was a total of four slaps. Sister Jinyu is also a martial arts pract.i.tioner and is very strong. Mo Qians face will probably take half a month to recover.

Jinyu is also fast. Otherwise, I would have rushed over and slapped Mo Qian.

Mother Zhao and Old Master Zhao.

They felt a little complicated.

They felt complicated that Yan Jinyu didnt hesitate to slap Mo Qian to vent Zhao Linlins anger, but they also felt complicated by their strange emotions at this moment.

They actually felt very happy after hearing Zhao Qians words.

Mo Qian was a junior and they were elders. They were actually thinking like young people. It didnt feel good to have such irrational hot-blooded thoughts.

We have to thank Jinyu for this, Mother Zhao said.

Youre welcome, Auntie. Linlin is my friend. Yan Jinyu walked over.

Jinyu is here? Xuanxuan said that you went to change your clothes just now, so she didnt have the time to ask you if youre injured? If you are, you have to apply medicine in time. Auntie really doesnt know how you found Linlin and Little You in such a dense forest.

Im not injured. Im quite skilled and lucky. I found them just like that.

Its good that youre not injured. You havent had lunch at this time, so you should be hungry. Ive already cooked. Lets go over and eat now.

By the way, Zhao Qian, find the wheelchair that your father used when he injured his leg a few years ago and wipe it clean. Let Little You sit in it for the next few days.

Zhao Qian left to find the wheelchair.

Jiang Xianyou wanted to stop him, but he wasnt in time.

His plan was that since his legs were injured, it was not good to trouble the Zhao Family. He planned to go back tomorrow and he seemed to have found the inspiration for the design.

However, seeing that they were so enthusiastic and accidentally glanced at Zhao Linlin at the side, he couldnt say that he was leaving tomorrow.

The burly men that Father Zhao had hired did not stay for lunch. They still had to work in the fields.

The practice at Zhao Linlins village was that the few men would definitely drink when they gathered for a meal.

Nothing could be done if they drank at this time.

Hence, they planned to come back at night.

After lunch, because Zhao Linlin and Jiang Xianyou were injured, they didnt go out again. They carried stools and sat down in the shade of the courtyard. They played games, chatted, read, or were just in a daze.

Yan Jinyu was playing games and Qin Xuan, Chu Xiaohuan, and Yang Jun were chatting. The others would occasionally chime in a sentence or two. Zhao Qian was reading and the ones in a daze were Jiang Xianyou and Zhao Linlin.

It was normal for Zhao Qian to be reading. He was in his second year of high school and his studies were good. In addition, there were so many top students here. It was a good opportunity for him to ask all the questions that he did not know while everyone was around.

Other than Yang Jun, no matter who Zhao Qian asked, they could help him answer. Even if there was something they couldnt answer, everyone would discuss it together.

The atmosphere was very harmonious.

Come, eat some pears. We planted them ourselves. We have already washed them. Mother Zhao brought over a small basin with clean pears inside.

They picked up one each, including Yan Jinyu.

The others lamented that it was indeed planted by themselves. It was really sweet. Only Yan Jinyu didnt think so.

The fruits on Mount Jing were planted by themselves. After they arrived in the capital, most of the fruits they ate were sent over from Mount Jing.

Yan Jinyu held the pear in one hand and played games on her phone with the other.

Yang Jun happened to see this scene and tsk inwardly.

She was indeed a big shot who was unscathed even when she jumped off a cliff. She slapped people in public and could even play games so well with one hand.

Actually, many people present were very curious about Yan Jinyu, including Qin Xuan and Chu Xiaohuan.

This was the first time they had seen Yan Jinyus superb skills.

However, everyone tacitly did not ask further.

By the way, Linlin, does your family have a way to temporarily keep the herbs fresh? I just need to keep them for a few days. Ill bring them along when I go back. As long as theyre barely fresh will do. Yan Jinyu was playing games when she suddenly thought of this.

Yes, my grandfather likes to pick herbs. He has a small bas.e.m.e.nt that specializes in storing herbs. He knows that you have to bring back the herbs you picked. Ive already asked Zhao Qian to help you bring them to the small bas.e.m.e.nt. Grandfather is cleaning and drying the herbs that I picked.

Yan Jinyu blinked. She wasnt very concerned about herbs, and since she could pick them again later, she was even more nonchalant. She only remembered about them now.

Fortunately, Zhao Linlin was meticulous.

Mm-hm.

Jinyu, are we still going out in the afternoon?

Just as Chu Xiaohuan finished asking, Qin Xuan said, Its already afternoon. She handed her phone to her. Its almost five.

Lets not go out today, Yan Jinyu said. Lets not go up the mountain for the next few days too. Lets just look around the village. Not only the scenery on the mountain is good.

Qin Xuan and Chu Xiaohuan had no objections, and so did Yang Jun and Jiang Xianyou, who had a lingering fear.

Alright, well do whatever you say, Chu Xiaohuan replied and chatted with Qin Xuan again.

They really didnt go up the mountain for the next few days.

They only walked around the village. They had walked around the fields and even worked with the Zhao Family in the fields.

Every time they went out, Yang Jun would push Jiang Xianyou along and support him wherever the road was rough.

No one was left behind.

On the other hand, they did not see Mo Qian after almost a week. She must have been frightened.

On the 10th day after they arrived at the Zhao Family, they went up the mountain again. Other than Jiang Xianyou, who was still a little injured, the others were all there. On the way, they met Mo Qian. She looked like she had seen a ghost and turned to run as soon as she saw them.

It suited them.

They went to another mountain that they hadnt been to before. They were also picking herbs.

The young people went to the mountains and Father Zhao and Mother Zhao also went to the fields to work. Only Old Master Zhao and Jiang Xianyou were at home.

Jiang Xianyou could already walk. However, he couldnt go far, so he didnt follow them up the mountain.

He was helping Old Master sun the herbs at home.

Little You. After spending 10 days together, everyone was familiar with each other. They were no longer as distant as before when it came to greeting each other.

Jiang Xianyou stopped what he was doing and looked at Old Master, who had suddenly called him, in confusion.

I heard that youre about to enter your third year of university? Youre studying at Water City University?

Yes, Grandpa Zhao.

Do you have a girlfriend?

Jiang Xianyous hand swayed and he almost knocked over the thing in his hand.

No.

No. My Linlin doesnt have a boyfriend either.

Old Master seemed to be chatting as he continued to sun his herbs. In reality, Old Masters eyes were bright where Jiang Xianyou couldnt see.

How could Old Master not notice anything after interacting with him for so many days?

Previously, Jiang Xianyou and Yang Jun had said that they would only stay for a week. Now that 10 days had pa.s.sed and they still hadnt mentioned leaving, Jiang Xianyou looked at Zhao Linlin with a strange gaze from time to time. Even Zhao Qian could tell something, let alone Old Master.

Linlin is outstanding. There must be many people pursuing her in university, Jiang Xianyou said with mixed emotions.

Grandpa Zhao doesnt know about that. I only know that my granddaughter doesnt have a boyfriend yet. Actually, our family is a little conservative, but since Grandpa Zhao encouraged my grandchildren to walk out of the mountain village and go to a big place, it means that Grandpa Zhao isnt a conservative person. If Linlin meets a boy she likes and is outstanding and reliable, Grandpa Zhao wont object to her dating.

I heard that Linlins cla.s.smate, Jinyu, already has a fianc. It was even decided by her family since she was young, so its fine for our Linlin to have a boyfriend too.

However, although Grandpa Zhao approves of Linlin dating, I still want to see her date with my own eyes and know his character before agreeing. If theres someone like you, Grandpa Zhao wont object to her dating.

Thank you, Grandpa Zhao.

Old Master Zhao. This brat is really obedient.

Alright, I wont be sunning the herbs after this batch. Play two rounds of chess with Grandpa Zhao and tell me about your future plans.

Alright, Grandpa Zhao.

Zhao Linlin still didnt know that her grandfather had sold her without her knowing.

***

After staying in the Zhao Family for 15 days, the few of them returned.

They didnt return to the capital immediately. Instead, they were invited to Water City by Jiang Xianyou and Yang Jun.

Yan Jinyu didnt intend to go at first, but after seeing Jiang Xianyous intentions towards Zhao Linlin, Zhao Linlin and Zhao Qian agreed to go to Water City to play and Yin Jiujin happened to be on a business trip in Water City, she decided to follow them.

What they did not know was that there was another person who had followed them to Water City.

Mo Qian.

Mo Qian was still indignant.

She was afraid of Yan Jinyu, but once she heard that Jiang Xianyou had invited Zhao Linlin to Water City to play, she couldnt sit still anymore.

Her jealousy overwhelmed her fear.

Mo Qian was afraid of being discovered, so she didnt take the same bus as them. She didnt take the same flight with them either. She was always a little later than them.

Hence, even Yan Jinyu didnt know that Mo Qian had followed them.

Of course, it was still because Yan Jinyu didnt pay attention to her. Otherwise, Yan Jinyu would have 10,000 ways to know her whereabouts.

After getting off the plane, Yan Jinyu didnt go to the Jiang Family with them. Instead, she took a taxi and went off alone. She said that she would look for them tomorrow.

She went to look for Yin Jiujin.

It was evening and Yin Jiujin was having a business negotiation at a clubhouse.

Although it was said to be a business negotiation, with Yin Jiujins status, it was more appropriate to say that it was a reception that the other party had set up to curry favor with him.

Yan Jinyu didnt tell Yin Jiujin in advance when she came to Water City.

She wanted to give him a surprise.

Yin Jiujin had a ring that she had personally made and polished. Yin Jiujin could confirm her location through the connection between the ring and her watch, so she naturally could confirm Yin Jiujins location too.

However, under normal circ.u.mstances, they would not use this function.

Hence, Yan Jinyu wasnt worried that Yin Jiujin would find out that she had come to Water City. The surprise for him was still there.

She took a taxi straight to the clubhouse.
