Chapter 258 - Mighty Brother-in-law
Chapter 258: Mighty Brother-in-law
“S-sorry,” Min Sisi lowered her head and apologized timidly.
Xi Fengling couldn’t help but think more highly of her.
If Min Sisi was really pretending, that would be very impressive.
There were no flaws at all.
Just as Xi Fengling was pondering, Min Sisi stood up. “I suddenly remembered that I still have something on, so I’ll go back first.”
She looked at Min Rufeng carefully and without losing her aura as the eldest daughter of the Min Family. “Second Brother, you haven’t been home for a while. Do you plan to go back today?”
Min Rufeng looked up at her.
“I’m sorry. I just hope that Second Brother can really treat the Min Family as your family. I’ve been reading medical books recently and have a lot of questions about Chinese medicine that I want to ask Second Brother. Only Second Brother and I major in Chinese medicine at home. If Second Brother comes home at any time, remember to get the servants to tell me so that I can ask you the questions.”
“Miss Yan, thank you for your hospitality.”
Yan Jinyu smiled. “I’m simply offering you favours at the expense of another.”
“Since Miss Min has something on, please go ahead.”
As soon as Yan Jinyu finished speaking, Luo Yikun and Luo Qiu stood up too.
“We’ll go back first too. Thank you for your hospitality, Eldest Miss Yan. Qiu and I will invite you back when we return to North City,” Luo Yikun said.
“Are you leaving already?” Yan Jinyu looked at Luo Qiu and asked symbolically.
Luo Qiu smiled shyly, “We came out with Cousin. Cousin went back first and asked us to go with Eldest Miss Min. Naturally, we’ll have to go back together now.”
“Then, Miss Yan, we’ll make a move first.”
“In that case, I won’t force you guys to stay and I won’t send you off.”
Yan Jinyu’s politeness made Min Sisi feel even more uneasy.
Luo Yikun also looked at Yan Jinyu deeply before turning and walking out of the private room with Luo Qiu.
As soon as the three of them left, Xi Fengling secretly gestured an “OK” hand sign to Yan Jinyu.
She and Min Rufeng had specially stayed outside for some time. Other than the fact that Min Rufeng really wanted to make out with Xi Fengling for a while, the two of them had done something else.
For example, when Min Nan and Yu Chen left, they drove Yu Chen’s car because Min Nan’s car keys were in Min Sisi’s hands.
Don’t ask Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling how they knew. They had checked the surveillance cameras in the underground parking lot.
When he got out of the car, Min Nan handed the keys to Min Sisi because Min Sisi was carrying a bag.
The two of them stayed outside for another reason. They had received Yan Jinyu’s message and specially installed a pinhole camera in Min Nan’s car.
Even without the car keys, it was just a small matter when the two of them acted together.
Yan Jinyu’s plan was that even if Min Sisi didn’t drive Min Nan’s car when she returned, it wouldn’t be a waste to install the pinhole camera. Anyway, Min Rufeng wanted to deal with Min Nan.
Of course, it would be best if Min Sisi drove that car when she returned.
Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling were both very curious about why Yan Jinyu did this, but now that there were outsiders around, they wouldn’t ask further.
Min Rufeng sat quietly while Xi Fengling chatted with Yan Jinyu.
In Qin Hao’s opinion, it was almost as if Xi Fengling was talking. Yan Jinyu listened quietly and occasionally replied.
Yan Jinyu looked more mature than Xi Fengling and Xi Fengling was a little noisy in front of her.
She was clearly a few years younger than Xi Fengling.
Also, with Yan Jinyu’s personality, she didn’t seem to be warm and friendly at all.
He felt that she had an ulterior motive for inviting Min Sisi and the rest upstairs.
“Beauty Yu, let’s eat together later. What do you want to eat? We’ll leave it to you.” As she spoke, Xi Fengling mentioned dinner.
“Anything is fine. You guys decide.”
“…” Xi Fengling. She was the one who was silly. It was useless to ask Beauty Yu what she wanted to eat.
“Alright, we’ll decide then. Beauty Yu, do you want to call Second Young Master Yin along?”
“He’ll come over later,” Yan Jinyu said with a faint smile.
Min Rufeng, who had been silent, suddenly said, “It’s good that he’s coming over.”
Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling were stunned.
Xi Fengling sized him up. “Min Rufeng, when did you become so friendly?”
“Since when am I not friendly?” Min Rufeng glanced at her.
“Bring the three bottles of liquor that I’ve treasured for dinner later.”
“Which three bottles? You seem to have a lot of liquor in your collection.” Actually, most of them were hers, but Xi Fengling didn’t want to admit that she loved to drink more than Min Rufeng.
“The three bottles of baijiu[1] with the highest alcohol content.” He glanced at Qin Hao. “It’s rare that Young Master Qin is here today and Second Young Master Yin is coming soon.”
“The two of you are the top figures in the capital. Others can’t even see them if they want to. Since we’re meeting them, we naturally have to treat them with the strongest liquor.”
“Little Rain will eat with us, and so will Young Master Qin, right?”
Qin Hao glanced at Min Rufeng. The expression in his eyes was unfathomable, but he answered honestly, “Of course.”
Xue Yi, who was sitting in the corner and wanted to continue watching the show, felt that something was amiss.
Why did he feel that Second Young Master Min seemed to be deliberately trying to make Boss and Master Nine drunk?
He quickly stood up. “Boss, I still have something on so I’ll go back first. I’ll leave the car to you.” As he spoke, he threw the car keys to Qin Hao.
Qin Hao caught it steadily. When he looked over, Xue Yi did not dare to look at him at all.
Xue Yi knew very well that he was escaping.
He nodded at Yan Jinyu and the other two and left quickly, ignoring Xi Fengling’s half-hearted urge to make him stay.
Hence, there were only four people left in the private room.
Including the Huo siblings on the balcony, there were six people in total.
At this moment, Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling had already seen through Min Rufeng’s plan.
Compared to Yan Jinyu’s helplessness, Xi Fengling was more enthusiastic.
They were her family. It was rare for them to meet, and Beauty Yu had even been taken advantage of by Yin Jiujin. Of course, they had to show them their family’s attitude and let Yin Jiujin and Qin Hao understand that a prized cabbage wasn’t so easy to eat.
Coming back to the Huo siblings.
Huo Siyu opened the glass door and walked to the balcony. Huo Xuan, who was standing by the railing with his back facing the glass door, turned to look at her.
He didn’t say anything and just looked at her.
There was a hint of heartache in his sinister eyes.
Huo Siyu stopped in her tracks. “Brother, it’s cold outside. Let’s go in first.”
“Rainy.”
Huo Siyu responded.
“You…” Huo Xuan didn’t ask eventually and changed the topic,” It’s nothing. Go in. ”
However, Huo Siyu stopped him. “Brother.”
Huo Xuan stood still. The two of them were about five steps away from each other.
There was rarely any sun in the capital in winter. It was gloomy and the wind was a little strong. Not only was it cold, but it was also extremely stifling.
Especially when one’s mood was heavy, the oppression was even more obvious.
Under such an atmosphere, it was difficult for Huo Siyu to maintain the smile on her face.
She looked at Huo Xuan seriously, “Brother, just ask what you want to ask. I know you’ve guessed everything.”
“Y-you’ve had a hard time all these years, right?”
Huo Siyu paused, then smiled and shook her head. This smile was not forced.
“No, I’m just following Beauty Yu and the rest. With them around, I actually didn’t have to worry most of the time. Comparatively, Beauty Yu and the rest are the ones who are really having a hard time.”
Although it was the truth, Huo Siyu still spoke lightly of it.
How could she rely on others completely in Ghost Slaughter Island?
Moreover, her status in the killer world was something that she had made herself. No one else could have helped her.
How could Huo Xuan not know that?
However, Huo Siyu only mentioned Yan Jinyu and not anyone else when she said that.
In Huo Xuan’s opinion, there were two reasons for this phenomenon.
Firstly, Rainy was the closest to Yan Jinyu. They had the deepest relationship and she relied on Yan Jinyu the most.
Secondly… Yan Jinyu was the most capable person among the four of them.
However, Huo Xuan directly rejected the second possibility.
It was really hard for Huo Xuan to believe that Yan Jinyu was the person with the most authority and ability, be it her age or her weak appearance.
“Brother, I’ve had countless life-and-death relationships with Beauty Yu and the rest.”
This was to tell Huo Xuan how deep their friendship was and she hoped that Huo Xuan wouldn’t be their enemy.
“I know. I’m also very grateful that you have them by your side all these years.”
“Rainy, I won’t ask too much about your matters…” Actually, he didn’t have the courage to ask too much. He was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to withstand hearing how Rainy had survived all these years.
“I won’t ask too much, but you have to tell me what kind of danger is still around you now. I didn’t protect you when you were young, but now, I don’t want to be a useless brother.”
“I can’t guarantee how capable I am, but at the very least, I won’t let you face all the danger alone.”
Huo Siyu was touched and her eyes were a little dry.
She took a deep breath and said in a relaxed tone, “Actually, it’s not very dangerous. Only a few people who we thought were dead seemed to have survived. They only come to find trouble occasionally.”
“Brother, don’t worry. I can handle it.”
“In terms of danger, Beauty Yu is in much more danger than me. If the people who survived really want to find trouble, they will find Beauty Yu first.”
“If Beauty Yu isn’t worried, why should I be?”
“Brother, don’t worry. I didn’t survive until today without any self-defense skills. It’s not that easy to kill me.”
Although his heart ached for her, Huo Xuan still felt very proud to see Huo Siyu so confident.
She was indeed his sister. She was bold and confident.
However…
“Why would they look for Yu… Eldest Miss Yan first?”
“Of course it’s because they’re afraid!” Huo Siyu was puzzled. “Brother, don’t you already know our identities? Why are you still asking?”
Huo Siyu had never thought that ever since Huo Xuan guessed their identities, he had never thought that Yan Jinyu would be the leader of the four of them.
“Afraid?” He frowned slightly.
“Yes, they’re afraid. Now that Second Young Master Yin is by Beauty Yu’s side, those people will only be more afraid of her.”
Second Young Master Yin…
Yes, Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin were tied together.
After fighting Yin Jiujin for so many years in the business world, he knew very well what Yin Jiujin was capable of.
With Yin Jiujin around, it was only right that the people from Ghost Slaughter Island were afraid.
Actually, if it were any other time, Huo Xuan’s intelligence wouldn’t be so low. He must have thought of more when Huo Siyu mentioned Yan Jinyu repeatedly and even said that the other party was afraid of Yan Jinyu.
Now, most of his thoughts were occupied by something else.
“Really, Brother, you don’t have to worry too much. Among the four of us, I’m the safest.”
She was the safest not only because she was the least important among the four of them, but also because she was the daughter of the Huo Family in South City. She had a brother who was in charge of the Huo Family at a young age and a capable fiancé.
Those people might not be afraid of her brother, but they would definitely be afraid of Qin Hao.
Her brother, Qin Hao, and her. Those people naturally didn’t dare to touch her easily.
Beauty Yu, Brother Feng, and the others were always worried about her, but they didn’t know that she was more worried about them.
Huo Xuan nodded, “Alright.”
Even if she wasn’t the safest, with him around, she would be the safest.
“The wind is strong. Let’s go in.”
