Chapter 135 - Just This Once
Chapter 135: Just This Once
After a long while, Yin Shuguo asked uncertainly, “Is she really going to make a call?”
Yin Jiujin gave him a faint look.
“…” Yin Shuguo was speechless. Was this girl deliberately avoiding the topic of school?
“Is school that scary? I’m not asking her to get first place. I’m just asking her to go through the motions to get a diploma.”
“According to Little Yu’s past information, she stopped going to school after graduating from junior high school. However, before that, her results seemed to be not bad either. It’s said that she’s in the middle of the class. Why is she so against going to school? Could it be that she’s afraid that she can’t keep up?”
Yin Jiujin picked up the tea on the coffee table and took a sip. He glanced at Yin Shuguo and didn’t say a word.
Moderate grades? All the information they could find about the girl’s past was fake, let alone information like her grades.
As for not being able to keep up?
He didn’t think that the number one killer in the killer world was an ignorant person.
Moreover, he believed that even if she did not have any education, no one would dare to say anything when they were together in the future. Taking a step back, even if someone really said unpleasant things behind her back or provoked her, even if she didn’t make a move, he would still teach those people a lesson.
After all, the young lady wouldn’t lose out.
The reason why he wanted the young lady to go to school was because he thought that she most probably had never led a normal girl’s life all these years. He wanted her to go to school like the others of her age. After school, she could go shopping with the girls of her age that she had made friends with. Occasionally, she could go on a vacation with them.
That was all.
“I’m asking you a question!” Seeing that he ignored him, Yin Shuguo couldn’t help but say angrily, “Forget it. You don’t even worry about your girl. Why should I worry on your behalf!”
“Who’s the Little Rain that Little Yu is talking about? The daughter of the Huo Family who came to North City with you recently?”
Yin Shuguo knew that Huo Siyu had come to North City and Qin Hao had asked Yin Jiujin to help take care of her. Later on, Huo Siyu went to the Yan Family to attend a birthday party and then followed her to Mount Jing to celebrate Yan Jinyu’s birthday.
Even if he didn’t investigate in detail, he knew that Huo Siyu must have already known Yan Jinyu.
Yin Jiujin nodded and finally answered, “Yes.”
“You introduced them to each other?”
Yin Jiujin fell silent before nodding.
He was the one who introduced the two of them to each other, but they had actually known each other for a long time before that and were on very good terms.
“It’s good to introduce them to each other. Since you’re interested in Little Yu, she won’t be able to avoid this circle in the future. The daughter of the Huo Family in South City will eventually marry into the Qin Family. It’s good for Little Yu to be on good terms with her.”
“However, it’s not a good thing for Little Yu to reject going to school so much. Persuade her properly. Let’s not talk about others for now, but your mother…”
At this point, Yin Jiujin suddenly put down his teacup and stood up. Yin Shuguo stopped speaking.
He sighed inwardly.
Forget it. It wasn’t like he didn’t know what his second grandson was like. What he hated the most was them meddling in his affairs.
“You’ve always had your own ideas. I believe you’ll settle the matter yourself, so I won’t interfere anymore. Go and call Little Yu down. Since your grandmother is good friends with her grandmother and they’re no longer around, even without this engagement, I’ll still treat Little Yu like my own biological granddaughter. She only came back after being missing for many years and met such a pair of parents. I’m afraid she hasn’t even eaten a real family reunion meal. Since I’ve come to Mount Jing, we should eat dinner together.”
Yin Shuguo wasn’t a talkative person. Or rather, his personality when he was young was actually similar to Yin Jiujin’s now. However, he always spoke more when he was with Yin Jiujin.
Yin Jiujin looked at him and said, “Thank you, Grandfather.”
Yin Shuguo suddenly felt a little stifled.
His second grandson seemed to have become more humane because of Little Yu.
“Grandfather, you don’t have to interfere with Little Yu’s school matters. I’ll settle it. As for my mother’s side, Grandfather, help me pass it on to her when you return to the capital. It’s best that she doesn’t interfere with Little Yu’s matters, nor do meaningless things behind my back. Other than myself, no one else can decide who I marry.”
“Jin’er, what we did back then was also for…”
Yin Jiujin looked over coldly and interrupted him, “Grandfather, don’t say anything about for my own good. Back then, I told you not to ask about that matter from the beginning. I have my own judgment and my own plans.”
Yin Shuguo moved his lips. “…In the end, didn’t we follow your wishes and didn’t interfere?”
“Yes, because I threatened you all,” Yin Jiujin said calmly.
“Before that, I’ve reminded you all three times to ignore that matter.”
Yin Shuguo was silent.
Yes, he had reminded them three times. Although it was a reminder, it was more like a request.
Jin’er, who had found his life goal when he was eight years old, had given up on living a comfortable life and joined the army. He had also made a name for himself in the army. His background and excellence determined that he was destined to be arrogant. However, he, who was so arrogant, had asked them three times. And they still didn’t agree after three attempts.
They always felt that their actions were the best for him.
That was why he gradually drifted away from them. He left the capital and came to North City when he was 16 years old. Even if he often returned to the capital because of business, he would only return to the Yin Family once a year.
He had become abstruse and ruthless, and his temperament had become even more unfathomable.
Jin’er was the one who was hurt the most in that incident. However, at that time, as his family, not only did they not stand by his side to support him, they even did things that he disapproved of under the pretext of for his own good.
“I’ll only remind you once this time.”
In other words, regarding Little Yu, they no longer had three more chances like they had many years ago? Once they committed one crime, there would be no possibility of Jin’er’s relationship with them being eased up? Or it might get even worse?
Yin Shuguo heaved a sigh of relief at that thought.
The others in the Yin Family, including him, didn’t dare to interfere in Jin’er’s matters again after experiencing that once. Only Jin’er’s mother…
It seemed like he had to remind her properly when he returned to the capital this time. They shouldn’t end up like strangers. It was even possible that Jin’er wouldn’t return to the Yin Family for the rest of his life.
“I’ll go upstairs to call Little Yu first.” After saying that, he left.
He went upstairs and went straight to Yan Jinyu’s room.
After knocking twice, the young lady’s clear voice came from inside, “The door isn’t locked.”
Yin Jiujin pushed the door open. The young lady wasn’t on the phone. Instead, she was sitting at the desk and playing games on her phone.
The girl looked at him and smiled sweetly. “Brother Nine.”
She called out to him with such a sweet smile.
At that instant, Yin Jiujin’s heart skipped a beat. The earlier familiar frustration had dissipated.
He walked towards her slowly.
The stool in front of her desk wasn’t leaning against the backrest. Yin Jiujin walked over and bent down to hug her from behind. He leaned his chin on her shoulder and kissed her cheek. “Didn’t you say you need to call?”
Yan Jinyu glared at him angrily, “Brother Nine, you know that I’m looking for an excuse to walk away.” Her eyes were clearly not looking at her phone, but her hands were still on the phone as she quickly played games.
“Do you really not want to go to school that much?” As he spoke, his lips would always caress her ear.
Yan Jinyu couldn’t help but shrug.
With a big move, the game ended and she placed the phone with a black screen on the desk.
“Brother Nine, you know that I don’t have to go to school at all. I’ve learned everything that needs to be learned.”
“I didn’t ask you to go and learn anything.”
“Huh?” Yan Jinyu tilted her head and looked at him, puzzled.
Looking at her large blinking eyes, which were round and very cute, Yin Jiujin’s handsome face darkened. “We’ll talk about this later.”
Then, he raised her chin and kissed her lips.
The kiss lasted for a long time.
After they were done, Yin Jiujin directly carried Yan Jinyu up. He sat on the stool that she was originally sitting on and placed her on his lap.
Now, Yan Jinyu didn’t have to spend so much effort to tilt her head up like earlier to look at him.
“What should I do to make you go willingly?” Yin Jiujin asked.
Yan Jinyu shook her head fiercely. “Nothing will make me willing.”
“Brother Nine, I really don’t want to go to school. Really!”
“Even if I’m not asking you to study and only asking you to experience school life and make friends of your own age, you’re not going?”
Yan Jinyu was stunned and looked at him in a daze. “Brother Nine, you…”
She lowered her eyes slightly and then raised them again with a smile. “I’m not going. I don’t want to experience school life, nor do I need to make friends of my age. I just want to stay by your side and protect you.” She only had a few friends. As for experiencing school life…
It had never happened in the past, so it seemed meaningless now.
She had long passed the time when she was young and carefree… No, it should be said that ever since she had her memories, she had never experienced such a time.
And she wasn’t even one year old when she had memories. That was commonly known as early wisdom.
Thinking about it this way, the innocent school environment seemed to be even more unsuitable for her.
“Don’t you like that I’m always by your side, Brother Nine? Do you find me annoying?”
“No,” Yin Jiujin hurriedly said. “I can’t be happier if you stay by my side. Why would I find you annoying?”
“Forget it. Since you don’t want to go, let’s talk about this later. Aunt Cheng should have prepared the dinner. Shall we go down and eat?”
“But Grandpa Yin…”
“Grandfather won’t interfere in this matter anymore. There’s no need to worry about that.”
Yan Jinyu’s eyes lit up, “Really?”
Seeing her surprised look, Yin Jiujin couldn’t help but smile and nod. “Yes.”
“Brother Nine, how did you do that?” Old Master Yin clearly still looked like he wanted to send her to school immediately.
“…Grandfather isn’t an unreasonable person. I said that your foundation is poor, so you won’t be able to keep up even if you go to school. Before I send you to school, I have to hire a few tutors for you.” Yin Jiujin’s eyes flashed with emotions but it happened too quickly, so Yan Jinyu didn’t manage to catch it.
“Huh? Tutors?”
“Of course it’s a joke. Even if you really need a tutor, we don’t have to look for one. I can teach you.”
Hearing that, Yan Jinyu heaved a sigh of relief.
It was not that she was afraid of those tutors, but she really hated being controlled.
It would be fine if it was someone else who had found her the tutor. However, if it was Yin Jiujin who had personally gotten her a tutor, she really couldn’t ignore him. After all, it was Yin Jiujin’s kind intentions.
“That’s true. Grandpa Yin just said that Brother Nine has a double degree doctorate from the Imperial Capital University.” Yan Jinyu paused. “Brother Nine, I really don’t have any education. I don’t even have the junior high school graduation that you think I have. In the future, I’ll return to the capital with you. Aren’t you afraid that someone will laugh at you because you have a fiancée who doesn’t have any education?”
