Chapter 332 - Holding Back
Chapter 332: Holding Back
The two of them had just walked over when they saw Yan Jinyu standing there with someone in front of her.
“Teacher Xiao? Why is he looking for Eldest Miss Yan?”
Luo Qiu was puzzled, but she didn’t see Tan Shiyun’s tense expression.
“Teacher Xiao, what’s the matter?”
Xiao Qun adjusted his glasses and blocked the sharp and cruel glint that flashed past his eyes. “It’s nothing. I saw you walking over alone and was worried that something had happened to you, so I specially came over to take a look.”
“Did anything happen?”
Yan Jinyu looked at him, and a hint of interest flashed past her eyes. She leaned lazily against the tree trunk behind her. “No. Thank you for your concern, Teacher.”
“Teacher, if you have something else to do, go ahead. I want to walk alone.”
These words sounded very strange to Luo Qiu.
Why did it feel like Yan Jinyu was even more arrogant than the form teacher when she stood together with him?
There was nothing wrong with her tone, but the content was like she was ordering her form teacher.
However, it did not make people think that she was arrogant and disrespectful. Instead, it made people feel that her words were unquestionable.
How should she put it? It was as if Yan Jinyu should have more authority between her and the form teacher.
Yan Jinyu was indeed very capable, but from their interactions during this period of time, Yan Jinyu wasn’t someone who disrespected her elders.
In other words, she was only targeting the form teacher?
The form teacher…
Luo Qiu quickly shook her head. She didn’t want to think about it anymore. She felt that if she continued to think about it, she would begin to doubt her life. She would feel that her surroundings were filled with schemes.
“There’s no hurry. I don’t have anything to do either. Everything has been arranged over there.”
Yan Jinyu played with the yogurt bottle. “So?”
“Teacher wants to talk to you alone about Yan Jinyun. The Yan Family already knows what happened yesterday and called me.”
His eyes locked onto Yan Jinyu tightly, as if he wanted to grasp every subtle change in her expression.
“Oh?” Yan Jinyu smiled faintly. One wondered if she had seen through Xiao Qun’s intentions.
“Who called? Mr. Yan? Or Mrs. Yan? What did they say? They want me to apologize?”
“No, they were simply asking about what happened. As for the call, it’s from Mr. Yan Qingyu.”
“So they’re just asking about what happened. I thought they were coming to ask me for compensation and an apology.” It was filled with sneer and mockery.
“If Teacher has anything to say, just say it.”
“Actually, it’s nothing. I just want to tell you that you have to convince people with reason in the future, especially in school. Try not to act out if you can.”
He was observing Yan Jinyu, but Yan Jinyu was also observing.
Hearing his words, she smiled slightly. “Teacher had said similar words in the office yesterday. My memory isn’t that bad. I can remember it. Teacher, you don’t have to repeat it.”
These words were very impolite.
Xiao Qun seemed to be a little surprised that a student like her would actually use such a tone to speak to her teacher. He was stunned, then he frowned, “Yan Jinyu, are you blaming me for being a busybody?”
Yan Jinyu maintained her smile. “Teacher, what are you talking about? You’re a teacher. I can’t be more grateful that you care about me. Why would I blame you for being a busybody?”
“It’s just that I don’t like others to interfere in my matters, especially those that I’m not willing to mention to others. Even if Teacher doesn’t know about my relationship with the Yan Family, you should have heard about it.”
“I don’t get along with them at all. We have even cut ties, so does Teacher think I like others mentioning them in front of me?”
“I know you mean well, but it’s best if you don’t interfere in this matter.”
Her lips curled up into a bloodthirsty smile. “I didn’t even hesitate to push my twin sister down the stairs when I’m unhappy. If it were someone else who made me unhappy, it’s really hard to say what I would do!”
Looking at Yan Jinyu like this, Xiao Qun’s eyes shone with excitement.
Even if it only appeared for a moment, Yan Jinyu still caught it.
Alright, she was completely certain of her guess now.
“Yan Jinyu, you… Sigh, I don’t have any ill intentions. I just don’t want you children to go astray.”
“Children?” Yan Jinyu sized him up. “Teacher doesn’t seem to be much older than us, but you still have to worry about us students. Thank you for your hard work, Teacher.”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s hard work or not. I just want to see all my students grow up well.”
“Since Student Yan Jinyu wants to walk alone, I won’t disturb you anymore. Don’t always be alone. After you walk back, interact more with your classmates.”
Without waiting for Yan Jinyu to reply, he turned and left.
However, the moment he turned around, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes behind his glasses, making his face look a little sinister.
As he turned around and walked back, he naturally met Tan Shiyun and Luo Qiu, who had followed them.
“Teacher Xiao,” the two of them greeted him at the same time.
At this moment, Xiao Qun’s expression had recovered and he looked like that kind teacher again.
“Yes, are you guys taking a walk too?”
“Yes, Teacher,” Luo Qiu replied.
Tan Shiyun and Luo Qiu only saw Xiao Qun’s side profile, so they didn’t see Xiao Qun’s ferocious expression after he turned around.
“Alright, be careful.”
“We will. Thank you, Teacher.”
Other than the initial greeting, Tan Shiyun didn’t say anything else. Luo Qiu did all the talking.
Before passing by, Xiao Qun glanced at Tan Shiyun.
How could Tan Shiyun not notice such a sharp gaze?
She instinctively took half a step back.
She was a little afraid of him. She had never denied that.
It was true that she was the heir of the Bo Family, but the Bo Family was negligible compared to a big family like Jones. Some people were not only powerful but also difficult to deal with.
It was not scary to be ruthless, but it was scary to be ruthless and perverted.
She could actually ignore the orders and make an excuse not to follow, but she was really worried about Bo Lang, so she still followed.
Since she was following them, it meant that she would not be able to stay out of this.
Xiao Qun, who had walked far away, took out his phone and made a call. “North City Hospital, abduct her.”
Yan Jinyu threw the finished yogurt bottle into the rubbish bin at the side and glanced at the two people who were walking over. She took out her phone and dialed a number. She lowered her voice, “Little Rain.”
“Beauty Yu, what’s the matter?”
“I know you’re in North City.”
Huo Siyu, “…Beauty Yu, you’re mistaken. How can I be in North City? School has started. I’m in the capital.”
Yan Jinyu was silent.
Huo Siyu gave up after a second. “Alright, Beauty Yu, I’ll be honest. It’s because I’m worried, I’ve been keeping an eye on Boyu High School’s situation. I know that you’ll be going on a group outing this weekend. And Beauty Yu, since you’re interested in participating in this group outing, you definitely won’t be just going out to play. I’m worried about you alone. I took the afternoon flight to North City.”
“But Beauty Yu, don’t worry. Brother Feng and Sister Fengling didn’t know. I came alone.”
“Beauty Yu, don’t be angry first. I should be the one who should get angry. You actually attacked without saying anything. Don’t you know that we’ll be worried? Don’t you know what many hands make light mean?”
Huo Siyu struck first.
“I’m not angry.” Yan Jinyu was helpless and touched.
Huo Siyu heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that.
It was good that she was not angry.
She quietly came over without saying a word. She was actually afraid that Beauty Yu would be angry. Fortunately, she had learned to be smart and knew how to strike first.
“Little Rain, since you’re here, do me a favor.”
Do her a favor?
Beauty Yu asked her for help, and Huo Siyu instantly became serious. “What do you want me to do?”
“North City Hospital. Help me protect someone.”
Huo Siyu, who completely understood the situation, hesitated. “But Beauty Yu, what about you? I’m worried about you being alone.”
It was true that Yan Jinyun was Beauty Yu’s younger sister, but she cared about Beauty Yu, not her younger sister. If she had to choose between the two of them, she would naturally choose Beauty Yu.
“I can do it alone. Brother Nine has also sent many people to follow me secretly. As long as the other party doesn’t have any chips in hand, I can completely deal with them.”
“Of course, I believe in your ability, Beauty Yu, but… but I’m still worried. The head of the Jones Family is already difficult to deal with, not to mention that he has the help of Ghost Slaughter’s people behind him. However, I also know that if your sister is really captured by the other party, you definitely won’t ignore it.”
“Alright, Beauty Yu, just focus on fighting the enemy. I promise to help you guard the rear.” If she had known earlier, she would have told Brother Feng and Sister Fengling.
Actually, it wasn’t that she didn’t want to tell them, but she knew that Brother Feng seemed to be investigating something recently, and the Min Family’s matter had just come to an end. Brother Feng and Sister Fengling had been trapped by the Min Family’s affairs for three years, so they should relax. She didn’t want to use this to disturb them.
However, that was when she thought that Yin Jiujin was in North City. Who knew that Yin Jiujin would actually go on a business trip at such a critical moment?
“Yes, be careful.”
Yan Jinyu smiled and hung up.
With Little Rain guarding the rear, she was relieved.
She thought that the other party had been completely deceived by her, but she did not expect him to try to trick her again. Although she was confident that she did not expose any flaws, everyone was smart. After coming to probe, how could the other party not make any moves?
If it were her, she would also take a gamble.
If she won the bet, the enemy’s chips would be in her hands, increasing her chances of winning. If she lost the bet, she would not lose anything either.
She believed that the other party must have thought so too.
After all, it was better to be prepared.
“Jinyu.”
“Eldest Miss Yan.”
Tan Shiyun and Luo Qiu walked over and spoke at the same time.
Seeing that Yan Jinyu was on the phone just now and speaking softly, they didn’t hear what she was saying clearly. They only thought that it was an ordinary call.
“You guys are here too? Aren’t you going to the barbecue?”
“Let’s walk around for a while before going,” Tan Shiyun said. “Do you mind having us as your company?”
“Of course not.”
Tan Shiyun smiled. “Then, let’s walk around together. After we familiarize ourselves with the environment here, we’ll go over and join in the barbecue.”
“Oh right, what did the form teacher say to you just now?” They actually heard it. Although they were a little far away and couldn’t hear it very clearly, they roughly heard the content. Otherwise, Luo Qiu wouldn’t have been repeatedly shocked by Yan Jinyu’s tone when she talked to Xiao Qun.
“It’s nothing. It’s just something that’s spreading on the school’s forum.” Yan Jinyu’s tone was flat, as if she was talking about someone else.
Upon hearing that, Tan Shiyun and Luo Qiu were smart enough not to stay on the topic.
“Then where are we going?” Luo Qiu asked.
“Let’s just walk forward. We’ll go wherever we go. We’ll come back when we’re almost done exploring the place.” As she spoke, she asked Yan Jinyu, “Jinyu, what do you think?”
“It’s fine with me.”
