Chapter 273: They Are All Very Protective

“That’s right. The Min Family’s banquet is indeed considered grand. It can even be said that our Beauty Yu has never attended such a banquet before, but so what?”

“Is she not qualified to participate? No!”

“It’s only because our Beauty Yu doesn’t have the time to attend.”

“If she wants to experience what it feels like to have a banquet like this, Second Young Master Yin only needs to give one simple instruction. Even without Second Young Master Yin, I, Xi Fengling, can easily spend some money to create a banquet that’s comparable to the Min Family’s banquet. It can even be grander than the Min Family’s banquet, just for our Beauty Yu to have some fun.”

Huo Siyu also walked over and sneered, “Sister Fengling is right. None of us lack that bit of money and connections. What’s the point of using this to mock us?”

“Our Beauty Yu indeed grew up in an orphanage and only returned to North City a while ago. So what? Is she in the way of anyone? Who has more backers than our Beauty Yu?”

“Tsk, you make it sound like she has never seen the world before. If it wasn’t for Brother Feng and Second Master Min, Beauty Yu might not even come to the Min Family to attend this banquet today.”

“Mrs. Min, today is indeed the Min Family’s event, but if you want to find trouble, we don’t mind messing with you even if we would disturb Second Master Min’s birthday party. Do you want to try?”

The two of them walked to Yan Jinyu’s side and stood still.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding guests fell silent.

Some people were so quiet that they did not even dare to breathe loudly.

They thought to themselves. Is there something wrong with Mrs. Min’s brain? She actually dares to find trouble on such an occasion in front of Master Nine. Does she think that their family’s situation in the Min Family isn’t bad enough now?

Meng An’s expression froze.

She didn’t know that Xi Fengling, Huo Siyu, and Yan Jinyu had such a good relationship. For a moment, she didn’t know what to do.

She habitually looked at Min Sisi when she encountered a problem and wanted her to help her.

Unfortunately, Min Sisi stood rooted to the ground and watched coldly. She had no intention of coming forward to interfere. While Meng An was puzzled, she also suddenly felt uneasy.

Min Guili glared at Meng An and secretly cursed her for being an idiot!

Did she think that he wasn’t in enough trouble?!

He tried all means to build a good relationship with Yin Jiujin. He thought that even if he didn’t, at least he shouldn’t offend Yin Jiujin and make him help Min Rufeng. Not only did Meng An not help, but she even dragged him down!

Couldn’t she target the daughter of the Yan Family privately? Why did she have to do it in front of so many people?

She had ruined his plans!

If she couldn’t even resolve the problem at hand, how was she going to plan a marital alliance with the Yin Family?

“I’m sorry. My wife made a wrong comment. I hope Jin’er and the two ladies don’t take it to heart.”

“Why are you asking the two ladies?” Min Rufeng smiled gently and looked at Min Guili, “Father, isn’t Little Yu the person who should accept the apology? Why? Are you looking down on Little Yu like Mrs. Min too?”

Everyone was surprised. Why was Second Young Master Min chipping in too?

From the looks of it, he seemed to be very familiar with the eldest daughter of the Yan Family?

Everyone was surprised, and Min Guili and Meng An were even more surprised.

Min Guili was furious. He was indeed an unfilial son who came to seek revenge at a time like this!

Suppressing his anger, he said, “I was too anxious. I was afraid that you would be angry with my wife’s words and was busy explaining. I was careless and my explanation was wrong.”

“Little girl of the Yan Family, your Auntie Min has always been straightforward. Don’t take it to heart.”

Yan Jinyu tugged at her suit jacket and chuckled. However, she didn’t say it directly. Instead, she said, “It doesn’t seem appropriate for me to call her Auntie Min.”

“Firstly, the Yan Family doesn’t seem to have any relationship with the Min Family. Secondly, I have a relationship with Feng, but not with Eldest Young Master Min or Eldest Miss Min. The only person I should call Auntie is Feng’s mother and not your wife.”

Everyone lamented as soon as she finished speaking.

The eldest daughter of the Yan Family was really daring!

Wasn’t praising the mistress in front of the wife equivalent to a slap to Mrs. Min’s face? Look at Mrs. Min’s expression. It was as black as charcoal.

Was this Eldest Miss Yan really ignorant and fearless? Or was she not someone to be trifled with and had enough confidence to offend the Min Family?

Oh, since she was on good terms with Second Young Master Min, she didn’t seem to have to be afraid of the other party now that Second Young Master Min had gained power.

“Y-you…” Meng An trembled in anger. However, with so many people staring at her, especially with Yin Jiujin present, she didn’t have the courage to scold her directly.

“Mom! You’re an elder. It’s not appropriate to say this to a junior!” Seeing Meng An looking like she wanted to eat Yan Jinyu alive, Min Nan was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat.

He was afraid that with just a casual wave of Yan Jinyu’s hand, the fast, ruthless, and accurate method at Mei Feng Bar would appear again, and she would immediately bleed on the spot.

Min Guili looked at Yan Jinyu deeply and glared at Meng An. “Alright! Can’t you be more well-behaved? As an elder, look at what you’re saying. Do you still want to go forward and beat someone up now? Don’t embarrass yourself!”

Then, he looked at Yan Jinyu. “I didn’t expect the Yan Family’s girl to have such a good relationship with Feng.”

“Look at what Director Min is saying. A few days ago, didn’t we just meet in Feng’s office when I accompanied Little Rain to send Young Master Huo to see Feng? You should have seen through my relationship with Feng long ago.”

Min Guili’s expression froze.

Huo Xuan, who was suddenly mentioned, couldn’t help but look at Yan Jinyu.

He knew that Yan Jinyu had accompanied him to the hospital because of Rainy. Rather than saying that she was accompanying him, it was more like she was accompanying Rainy.

However, he still felt a little complicated when he heard her say that.

She could be considered as accompanying him to see a doctor.

“…Is that so? There were many people that day. I thought that you were also Feng’s patient. I didn’t know that you two had a relationship.”

“No matter what, I hope you don’t mind my wife’s slip of the tongue.”

“Of course. After all, what Mrs. Min said is the truth. I’ve indeed never seen such a grand banquet. However, I don’t like others to interfere in my matters. Since this is the Min Family’s event, forget it. If there’s a next time, ha…”

She didn’t continue.

However, the effect was completely achieved.

Now, in everyone’s opinion, no matter if Yan Jinyu was really ignorant and wasn’t afraid of offending others or if she was really capable, everyone present could tell that the eldest daughter of the Yan Family whom they had been talking about for more than half a year didn’t seem to be a kind person.

“I almost caused a scene at Second Uncle’s birthday party.”

Min Xiangbei didn’t say anything. His gaze wandered between the few of them and finally stopped on Yan Jinyu. Hearing her say that, his gaze deepened.

“It’s fine. It’s a banquet. It’s more lively when we’re talking and laughing.”

Everyone was speechless.

Were they talking and laughing? These people were almost fighting!

Yan Jinyu smiled at him and looked at Yin Jiujin. “Brother Nine.”

Yin Jiujin’s dark gaze flashed past Meng An and Min Guili. The two of them subconsciously held their breaths in fear without him saying a word. They felt cold all over.

They did not dare to look at him.

After that, Yin Jiujin’s gaze met Yan Jinyu, and he understood what she meant.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Zimu, who was following behind, brought up a gift box. He took it and handed it to Min Xiangbei, “This is the birthday present Little Yu’er and I picked for you.”

Everyone knew that the gift was carefully selected and expensive since it was brought up specially and not put at the door.

Min Xiangbei naturally understood this too.

He took the gift box and opened it on the spot. It was a white jade chess set. Those who were connoisseurs could tell that this white jade chess set was rare and valuable.

He took the gift box and opened it on the spot. It was a white jade chess set. Those with slightly better eyesight could tell that this white jade chess set was rare and valuable.

“Thank you.”

He closed the gift box and handed it to Min Ting.

Although this gift was said to be prepared by the two of them, Yan Jinyu had actually picked it out from her many collections. However, in order to avoid trouble, Yin Jiujin didn’t say it out loud.

As they spoke, the Yin Family members arrived.

Four people came. Yin Wuzhan, Min Qinglan, Yin Yuhan and Qin Jianjia.

“Why are you all standing here and not going in? The wind is still blowing when we step in. The air conditioner isn’t even very useful here.” It was Qin Jianjia who spoke.

She said to Qin Hao and Yin Jiujin reproachfully, “Hao’er and Jin’er, you’re not children anymore. Why don’t you bring Rainy and Yu’er into the banquet hall? It’s fine since you have rough skin and thick flesh, but they’re still wearing gowns!”

“Sister.”

“Sister Jianjia.”

“Sister-in-law.”

The three of them greeted her at the same time. They were Qin Hao, Huo Siyu, and Yan Jinyu.

Qin Hao’s attitude seemed to be cold and old-fashioned, but if one observed carefully, one could still tell that his attitude towards Qin Jianjia was different from his attitude towards others. There was an additional hint of intimacy and reliance on his sister.

Huo Siyu greeted her enthusiastically.

As for Yan Jinyu, she was smiling and sincere, but she wasn’t very enthusiastic.

It was her nature.

“It’s fine, Sister Jianjia. Actually, it’s not cold either.” Huo Siyu was wearing a long gown and a shawl. She was indeed not cold.

“No matter if it’s cold or not, girls still have to pay more attention. The temperature in the capital is low and the wind is strong. Don’t stand here anymore. Let’s go in first.”

She then saw that Yan Jinyu was wearing Yin Jiujin’s suit jacket. Qin Jianjia frowned slightly. “Jin’er, why didn’t you prepare a shawl for Yu’er? You’re too careless. I should have been in charge of Yu’er’s gown, but you insisted that you had your own arrangements. Look at you. You don’t have any experience. You’ve made Yu’er cold!”

Yan Jinyu was about to explain when Yin Jiujin interrupted her. “This is indeed my negligence. I’ll pay attention next time.”

After saying that, he hugged Yan Jinyu and nodded at Min Xiangbei before walking into the banquet hall.

Yan Jinyu was exasperated. She turned back and said to Qin Jianjia, “Thank you for worrying, Sister-in-law. Actually, Brother Nine did help me prepare it, but because I felt that there was no need to put it on, I left it in the car. I already said that it wasn’t cold, but Brother Nine just didn’t believe me. He insisted on taking off his jacket and putting it on me. Don’t scold him anymore.”

“Sigh, you guys! All of you are really young and don’t take your bodies seriously.” Qin Jianjia shook her head helplessly. She spoke as if she was very old.

Then, it was the small talk between the Yin Family’s members and Min Xiangbei.

However, after this, the guests present were even more certain of Yan Jinyu’s importance in the hearts of the Yin Family and Yin Jiujin.

Although only the eldest young mistress of the Yin Family, Qin Jianjia, expressed her concern, the others in the Yin Family didn’t say anything. It was obvious how much the Yin Family valued Yan Jinyu. Even Min Qinglan…

Everyone in the same circle more or less knew what Min Qinglan was thinking. She was looking at Yan Jinyu now and she actually didn’t say anything. This meant that she had tacitly acknowledged Yan Jinyu’s identity as the Yin Family’s future second young mistress.

In addition to Yin Jiujin’s attitude towards Yan Jinyu.

Anyway, anyone with a brain wouldn’t dare to underestimate Yan Jinyu again.

Yin Jiujin brought Yan Jinyu to the resting area of the banquet hall, and Xi Fengling and Huo Siyu followed.

Just the three of them sat in the resting area. Yin Jiujin, Huo Xuan, Qin Hao, and the others each took a glass of wine and went to chat with their acquaintances.

There were not many people who were qualified enough for them to deal with on such an occasion, but there were still some.

With no one restraining them, the three of them were much more willful. They were not drinking fruit juice but red wine. They chatted as they drank.

Although there were three beauties sitting here, no one dared to come and hit on them.

Even the wealthy young ladies who wanted to curry favor with them were hesitant to go forward.

About 20 minutes later, someone walked towards them. It was Min Sisi, who had wanted to greet Xi Fengling earlier.

She smiled gently and demurely. “Sister Xi.”
