The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Ruyu came back a few days before the engagement party.

However, Yan Ruyu didn’t go to see Yan Jinyu immediately. She and her husband, Yu Wen, arranged their accommodations and other things first. Only then did they prepare to contact Yan Jinyu and ask her to find a time to meet the Yin Family before the engagement party.

“Shall I contact Yu’er and ask her to meet with the Yin Family?” Yan Ruyu sat in the living room of her new home and discussed it with Yu Wen.

Yu Wen, who was also sitting on the sofa. “Yes.”

They had wanted to come a few days earlier, but something had delayed them, so they came back a little late.

Fortunately, they had rushed back before the engagement party and could meet the Yin Family alone first.

Yan Ruyu took out her phone and prepared to call Yan Jinyu with complex emotions.

Actually, she was not the only one who was feeling emotional now, Yu Wen was too.

Otherwise, the two of them wouldn’t have sat in the living room in silence after their lunch break.

Half an hour ago.

Yan Ruyu had planned to meet the Yin Family from the beginning.

However, she wasn’t Yan Jinyu’s parents after all. She wasn’t important enough, so she called Fu Ya and Yan Qingyu.

Of course, Yan Ruyu had also contacted them before she returned to the country, but the call was not connected.

In other words, she could not contact them.

Yan Ruyu didn’t contact them again after she came back for two days.

She had been trying her luck just now when she was preparing to meet the Yin Family.

She did not expect it to really get through.

She called Fu Ya first and Fu Ya only answered after a long time.

“Sister-in-law.” Yan Ruyu didn’t have a good impression of her brother and sister-in-law, but since she had decided to call thm, her attitude was still pleasant.

Fu Ya asked, “Sister, why did you call?”

Her attitude was neither intimate nor distant.

No emotions could be detected.

It was very unlike Fu Ya.

“There’s indeed something. Yu’er and the Yin Family’s Second Young Master are getting engaged. You know about this, right?”

The other party was silent for a long time before saying, “…I know.”

“It’s like this. I’ve returned to the country now and I’m in the capital. I plan to meet the Yin Family before their engagement party. Do you and my brother have time? Do you want to join us?” She asked rather nicely.

The other party was silent again. After a long while, she said, “No, Sister should know that we’ve cut ties. We won’t interfere in her matters anymore.”

Yan Ruyu still wanted to say something when the other party said, “Sister, if you have time, come back to the Yan Family for a visit” and hung up.

Her speed was so fast as if Yan Ruyu was a ferocious beast.

Yan Ruyu was so angry that she almost dropped her phone on the spot.

It was only when Yu Wen comforted her and asked her to call Yan Qingyu again that she took a deep breath and suppressed her anger before dialing again.

She called Yan Qingyu, but he didn’t pick up.

After a while, he sent her a message.

“I won’t go. I don’t have the face to go. Please make more effort for us.”

This was the reason why Yan Ruyu and Yu Wen were silent.

With Yan Ruyu’s brain, she could tell that Fu Ya didn’t know that Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin were about to be engaged. At least, Yan Qingyu still knew.

Moreover, Yan Qingyu’s attitude…

Yan Ruyu sympathized with him and yet at the same time, felt that he deserved it.

“Don’t think too much. Actually, it’s better if they don’t come.”

Yu Wen patted her shoulder and comforted her, “You also know Brother and Sister-in-law’s tempers. When Yu’er came back previously, they treated her…”

“I wonder what will happen if they’re present when we meet the Yin Family this time.”

“That’s true, but… no matter what, they’re still Yu’er’s parents. They don’t even want to see her in-laws when Yu’er is engaged. Doesn’t it make people feel that Yu’er doesn’t have any backing from her maternal family? The Yan Family’s status already can’t compare to the Yin Family.” Yan Ruyu sighed and felt sorry for her.

“Doesn’t she still have us around? Although we’re nothing compared to the Yin Family, if the Yin Family really doesn’t treat Yu’er well, it’s not like we won’t stand up for Yu’er, right? If you think that there are too few of us, just wait for two more days. I’ll call Dad, Mom, and my siblings over.”

Yan Ruyu glanced at him. “What are you talking about!”

She was amused by his half-joking words.

She was about to call Yan Jinyu.

The doorbell rang at that moment.

Looking at each other in confusion, Yan Ruyu asked, “Who will come at this time? Could it be Xiao? That’s not right either. It’s not the weekend today. He’s still in school.”

“I don’t know. I’ll go take a look.” Yu Wen stood up and opened the door.

A four-bedroom apartment was not big, but it was enough for a family of three.

Yu Wen opened the door and was a little surprised to see the people out there.

“Hello, my name is Yin Yuhan. I’m Jin’er’s elder brother. You’re Yu’er’s uncle, right? I heard that you guys have moved in, so I specially brought you a gift. I’ll also like to pay you and Yu’er’s aunt a visit.”

He was gentle, polite, and gentlemanly.

He didn’t come alone. Other than him, there were two others.

They revealed their identities and greeted, “I’m Jin’er’s mother. Sorry for disturbing you.”

“I’m Jin’er’s sister-in-law, Qin Jianjia. Sorry to disturb you.”

Yu Wen had some judgment. He had never seen the Yin Family members before, but the three people outside the door had auras which obviously showed that they were not ordinary people.

He was surprised because of their looks and bearing, and because he didn’t expect the Yin Family to take the initiative to visit them.

Originally, they were prepared to let Yu’er arrange a meeting.

He retreated to the side. “I’m Yu’er’s uncle. Please come in.”

Yan Ruyu also heard the commotion and stood up to walk over. She happened to hear Min Qinglan ask, “Do I need to change my shoes?”

“No, no.” Yan Ruyu quickly went forward.

She was surprised by Min Qinglan’s attitude.

She was not bossy or arrogant. She even asked politely if she needed to change her shoes. She did not have the airs of a top-notch lady.

“I didn’t know that you would come personally. Sorry for being rude. Please sit here.”

Yu Wen took the gift from Yin Yuhan and put it away before going to make tea for them.

Seeing that Qin Jianjia was pregnant, he warmed a glass of milk for her alone.

Seeing the tea and milk Yu Wen brought over, the three of them, including Min Qinglan, were slightly surprised.

He was a meticulous person.

Such a person should be very good to the younger generation as an elder.

The three of them were a little relieved for Yan Jinyu.

Especially Qin Jianjia.

Qin Jianjia had the best relationship with Yan Jinyu here. Yin Yuhan was the eldest brother and he knew Yin Jiujin’s ability and temperament very well. He didn’t pay much attention to his sister-in-law either. As for Min Qinglan, she had never forgotten how she treated Yan Jinyu in the past, nor did she have the confidence to be picky with Yan Jinyu’s elders.

“Thank you, Uncle.” Qin Jianjia followed Yan Jinyu’s form of address.

“We found out from Jin’er that you had returned to the country, so we asked Yu’er for your address. We rashly came to visit. I hope we didn’t disturb you.”

As Qin Jianjia spoke, Yan Ruyu’s sizing gaze landed on her.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Yin Family indeed had the demeanor of a daughter-in-law of a wealthy family.

She could also tell that Qin Jianjia was the person who was making the decision among these three people.

As for why Qin Jianjia was in charge, Yan Ruyu didn’t care.

The Yin Family could personally visit them for Yu’er, which meant that they treated Yu’er quite well.

She was finally relieved.

“Eldest Young Madam Yin, you are being too polite? We should be the ones visiting. Unfortunately, we’ve just moved in the past two days and have too many things to settle. We thought that after we were done… Our Yan Family was being rude.”

She used the identity of a “Yan Family member”.

She was facing them as Yan Jinyu’s family member.

“There’s no such thing as being rude. We’ll be family in the future. It doesn’t matter who visits the other party.”

“I’ve already called Yu’er and Jin’er. They’ll come over soon.” Qin Jianjia added this to make the two of them relax.

Indeed, the two of them looked relieved when she said that.

“Are they coming over too? Then I’ll call school and ask Yu’er’s cousin to come back too. We can have a meal together.”

Yan Ruyu heaved a sigh of relief. It was true that she was a little surprised.

She didn’t expect Yin Jiujin and Yan Jinyu to come too.

“I’ve already mentioned this to Yu’er. She said she’ll pick her cousin up on the way.”

Qin Jianjia smiled appropriately. “Actually, we’ve already booked the restaurant. My grandfather and the others will go over first. We’re here to send a housewarming gift to visit and to pick you up for a meal.”

“…” Yan Ruyu and Yu Wen.

This was even more unexpected. The Yin Family was so considerate, which showed how much they valued Yu’er.

This was good.

“Oh, I heard from Yu’er that her sister, Yun’er, has also applied for leave. She’s on the plane to the capital now. Along with Yun’er are two elders of the Feng Family and one of Yu’er’s cousins. Everyone can have a meal together.”

Yan Ruyu fell silent.

No wonder she couldn’t get through to Yun’er. It turned out that she was on the plane.

“They’re actually coming here too? How long will it take them to arrive?”

“I don’t know the exact time, but Yu’er said that if the flight isn’t delayed, we should still have about two hours. They can make it in time for dinner.”

Yan Ruyu was happy when she heard that. She was happy for the considerations of the Yin Family. Even Old Master Yin was waiting for them to eat together. She felt ashamed again. She clearly wanted to support Yu’er, but the Yin Family had already considered everything. She only needed to sit down and eat.

That was not all. The key was that she did not even know that Yun’er and the Feng Family were coming over.

She was really ashamed.

With that thought in mind, Yan Ruyu really said that, “You guys are considerate and meticulous. As Yu’er’s aunt and uncle, we’re really ashamed.”

“Aunt, why are you saying that? We’re almost family. It doesn’t matter who did such a small thing? Our Yin Family is in the capital, so we should be more familiar with the capital. It’s only right that the Yin Family arrange for the two families to meet.”

Yan Ruyu looked at Qin Jianjia and praised her inwardly.

She was indeed the eldest daughter-in-law of a top-notch family. She knew how to speak and do things.

She seemed to be an easy person to get along with. When Yu’er married into the Yin Family in the future, there shouldn’t be any conflicts between sisters-in-law.

At the same time, Yan Jinyu wasn’t with Yin Jiujin.

Yin Jiujin was in the company. He was about to leave the company when Yan Jinyu drove to the Imperial Capital High School to pick Yu Xiao up.

However, she did not see Yu Xiao when she went to school.

“Teacher, you said Yu Xiao applied for leave in the afternoon? Did he say that something happened at home?” In Yu Xiao’s form teacher’s office, Yan Jinyu took off her sunglasses. She had a kind smile on her face, but it gave the male teacher in his thirties an inexplicable sense of oppression.

A few drops of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

“Y-yes.”

“The students in your school took leave during class. As form teachers, shouldn’t you call the parents of the students to confirm if it’s true or not?”

The form teacher was a little ashamed. “Usually, when students take leave, the teachers rarely call their parents. Many students in the Imperial Capital High School are from big families. They can take charge at such a young age. Student Yu Xiao is a sensible child and a student that the principal personally greeted. I…”

Yan Jinyu understood.

“If such a thing happens again, I hope you can take the initiative to contact Yu Xiao’s parents.” Her tone was not harsh, but the form teacher was inexplicably shocked.

“Y-yes.”

“I’ll leave first. If Yu Xiao returns to school, I hope Teacher can give me a call. In his contacts’ list, the number that starts with 188 is mine. I’m his cousin.”

“Alright, alright. I will…”

Yan Jinyu turned and walked out of the office. She immediately called Yu Xiao.

His phone was switched off.

Then, she contacted Yan Ruyu. She did not ask Yu Xiao if he had gone back first. Instead, she asked if the Yin Family had gone over.

Yan Ruyu said truthfully.

Yan Jinyu said that she was here to pick Yu Xiao up. Yan Ruyu asked her if she had picked him up. Yan Ruyu even said that if it was not convenient for Yan Jinyu to pick him up, she could let Yu Wen pick him up.

Yan Jinyu knew that Yu Xiao didn’t go back.

As she drove out of the Imperial Capital High School, she called Xi Fengling.

She narrowed her eyes on her beautiful face. “Meimei, help me investigate someone’s whereabouts.. Now.”
