Yan Jinyu smiled. “Dad is really well-informed. You found out so quickly.” She didn’t think that Yan Qingyu had someone to monitor her. If someone was monitoring her, with her alertness, she wouldn’t have missed it. Then, if Yan Qingyu knew that she had been to the Feng Family, someone from the Feng Family must have informed him.

She had stayed in the Feng Family for the entire afternoon, so naturally, others would notice. After all, the Feng Family had more than Feng Chen’s lineage. She did not intend to hide it either. Anyway, it was not like it was shameful.

Fortunately, he wasn’t spying on her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have let it go so easily.

“You went to the Feng Family?!”

“Don’t interact with the Feng Family in the future!”

The two of them spoke at the same time. The former was Fu Ya, while the latter was Yan Qingyu. Both of their tones were a little unfriendly, but Fu Ya’s tone was sharper.

Yan Jinyu glanced at Fu Ya before turning to Yan Qingyu. “Why did Dad ask me to stay away from the Feng Family?”

“I told you to stay away from them, so you will just do so. There’s no reason for it!”

Compared to Yan Qingyu, Fu Ya’s tone was even more unfriendly, “Who doesn’t know that the Feng Family and our Yan Family have long fallen out? As the daughter of the Yan Family, you still had the cheek to run to the Feng Family. Isn’t this blatantly slapping our Yan Family’s face! You actually came to ask why you should interact less with the Feng Family!”

Yan Jinyu walked forward and didn’t sit down. She just leaned lazily on the sofa a few steps away from them and said with a faint smile, “The Feng Family is Grandmother’s maiden home. When Grandmother was still alive, the Feng Family and the Yan Family had a very good relationship. Why did they fall out?”

It was not a secret in North City why the Feng Family and the Yan Family had fallen out. However, due to the Yan Family’s status in North City, no one dared to mention it again. If they investigated carefully, they could still find out. Hence, when Yan Jinyu asked this, Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya’s expressions were a little ugly.

To them, this was not something to be proud of. They had given up on searching for their biological daughter, but the Feng Family, as their distant relatives, insisted on searching for her. Because of this, the two families even fell out. If this matter was known by others, they would lose face, let alone Yan Jinyu, the person involved.

“This is an adult’s matter. Children shouldn’t ask so much!” Yan Qingyu had already sent someone to investigate her again. The results of the investigation that Yan Qingyu had received were no different from before. However, the elder daughter before him was too different from the results of the investigation, making him even more uncertain about how to treat her.

Of course, Yan Qingyu didn’t think too highly of Yan Jinyu because of this.

From his point of view, even if Yan Jinyu wasn’t as timid as he imagined her to be, there were still some friends that weren’t found in the information. It didn’t mean that they needed to be afraid of her. No matter what, she didn’t have the ability to create such a complete set of fake information that even Master Nine couldn’t find anything wrong after personally investigating it himself.

She was not timid and did not have the “uncouthness” of someone who grew up in the countryside. It should be because she still had her memories from when she was two years old.

“Just do as I tell you to.”

“Dad, even if you didn’t say it, I know why the Feng Family and the Yan Family fell out. It’s because you all have a disagreement over whether you should continue to look for me.”

Yan Jinyu chuckled, “Dad, don’t look at me like that. Please don’t suspect that Uncle Feng said something to me when I went to the Feng Family. Uncle isn’t the kind of person who would drive a wedge between us. I naturally have my ways. Dad, don’t forget who found me. Did you think that Brother Nine wouldn’t tell me anything on the way back after picking me up?” In fact, Yin Jiujin really didn’t tell her anything.

“Father and Mother fell out with the Feng Family because the Feng Family insisted on continuing to look for me. Now, you’re coming to make me stay away from the Feng Family. Do you think that’s possible?”

Yan Qingyu’s face turned red and white. It was unknown if he was ashamed or angry.

“How can the rumors be true? We are your parents. We have spent so much manpower and financial resources to find you all these years. Although the Feng Family has contributed a lot in this matter, they are far inferior to our Yan Family.” It was one thing not to find her. Fu Ya had always cared about her face and could not stand being pointed out so directly.

“Ha…” Fu Ya had just finished speaking when she heard Yan Jinyu’s low laughter. She was a little embarrassed.

She looked at Fu Ya, “Mom, there are some things that everyone knows very well. Do you have to say it out loud? I don’t really care if you’ve been looking for me all these years. But you’re saying that you’ve done something that you clearly haven’t done and this makes me a little unhappy.”

“I’ve said it before. I came back because Brother Nine personally picked me up. It’s not because I’m greedy for your Yan Family’s assets. Of course, I don’t expect you to treat me as your biological daughter either. Isn’t it good for everyone to live in harmony? Why do you have to come and find trouble with me? On account of my grandparents, I really don’t want to do anything to the Yan Family.”

Her words stunned the two of them. Yan Qingyu didn’t speak and only frowned as he sized her up. Fu Ya said seriously, “What do you mean by that?”

What did she mean? She naturally didn’t want to feign civility with them anymore. She didn’t want to see Yan Jinyun finding people to stop her today. If there was a next time, it would be hard for her to guarantee that she wouldn’t attack the Yan Family.

“Mom probably doesn’t know. When Yun’er called you today, I was just beside her.”

Didn’t she mean that she knew everything that Yun’er had told her? In other words, she knew everything about Yun’er finding someone to abduct her and her mother’s attitude towards this matter?

Fu Ya moved her lips, not knowing what to say for a long time.

“What does she mean?” Yan Qingyu still didn’t know that Yan Jinyun had found someone to abduct Yan Jinyu. He looked at Fu Ya and asked.

Seeing that Fu Ya was avoiding her gaze, Yan Qingyu’s frown deepened. However, she didn’t intend to settle the score in front of Yan Jinyu. Compared to Yan Jinyu, Fu Ya was considered one of the family.

“Mom, you’re a smart person. Don’t use your cleverness on me. I’m not a good-tempered person. If you push me too hard, I don’t know what I’ll do. It’s not early anymore. I’m a little tired from being out for the whole day. I’ll go back to my room first.”

Fu Ya did not dare to stop her now that she had said that.

Yan Qingyu didn’t know what was going on, so he naturally wouldn’t stop her either.

Yan Qingyu only asked Fu Ya after Yan Jinyu left for the small villa behind the main building, “What did you do again?”

“…N-nothing.”

“Fu Ya!”

The stern shout startled Fu Ya, “Why are you so fierce? What else can we do? Didn’t we agree to let Yun’er gain her trust and get close to Master Nine? Didn’t you allow her to go out with Yun’er today to tacitly allow Yun’er to take the opportunity to do something? Why are you questioning me now?”

“Tacitly allowed? When did I ever acquiesce?” Even if he did, it was before today! When he saw his elder daughter this morning, he felt strange. Before he figured out her background, he wouldn’t think of doing anything. Otherwise, he would not have given her a card with three million dollars.

“What did you two do?!” The elder daughter did not even want to continue with her disguise.

“Mommy didn’t do anything. It’s me.”

He looked over. Yan Jinyun had returned.

Fu Ya was delighted. With the expression of a loving mother, she said, “Yun’er is back? Did you have fun at the banquet? Did you have dinner?”

Zhao Ling, who was standing at the side, sighed when she saw that obvious difference in treatment. It was no wonder that Eldest Missy would be so explicit just now. However, Eldest Missy was also rather formidable. If it were someone who had disappeared for more than 10 years before coming back from the countryside, how would they dare to speak to Sir and Madam in that tone?

She just didn’t know what Eldest Missy was relying on.

Even Zhao Ling had such doubts as a servant, let alone Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya.

“I heard from the servants that Sister is back. I wonder if Mommy asked her the same thing when she came back?”
