The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned Chapter 242 - A Pathetic Person

Chapter 242 - A Pathetic Person

He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he felt that Yan Jinyu seemed to be… more charming than before.

"Thank you for your trouble, Eldest Miss Yan. You even accompanied Rainy here to fool around."

"We're not fooling around."

"Do you think I'm fooling around here?"

The three of them spoke at the same time.

"We're not fooling around," Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu said at the same time. The other sentence was said by Min Rufeng.

Huo Xuan fell silent.

The three of them seemed to be a little angry at his words.

It was fine with Rainy and Min Rufeng. Rainy was concerned about his illness, while Min Rufeng could be understood to be unhappy that he doubted his medical skills. But what about Yan Jinyu?

Once again, Huo Xuan's gaze wandered between the three of them.

However, he quickly retracted his gaze.

He said to Min Rufeng, "I'm sorry. I don't have the intention of questioning Second Young Master Min's medical skills. I just want to thank Eldest Miss Yan for being willing to accompany me."

Yan Jinyu looked at him with a smile in her eyes. She didn't say anything and found a seat to sit down on.

"Have a seat. I'll make some tea for the few of you."

As soon as Min Rufeng finished speaking, Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu said at the same time, "No, thank you!"

Then, the two of them looked at each other. Only they could understand the emotions in their eyes.

Seeing Huo Xuan looking at them in confusion, Huo Siyu hurriedly smiled and said, "It's like this…"

Her gaze turned from Huo Xuan to Min Rufeng, "Brother Feng, my brother's health isn't good. You should take a look at my brother first. There's no need to trouble you with the tea. Why don't you tell me where the tea is? I can make it."

Min Rufeng looked at them deeply. "In that case, I won't care about you two anymore. There's water over there if you're thirsty."

Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu heaved a sigh of relief.

Actually, Min Rufeng's medicinal tea wasn't that bad either. It was just that they weren't people who liked to drink medicine. Furthermore, no matter how delicious something was, they would get tired of drinking it too much.

Huo Xuan glanced at them imperceptibly before walking to the guest sofa and sitting down.

"This lady is?" Min Guili, who had followed them in, asked.

He was asking Yan Jinyu.

It wasn't that he was curious about a young lady for no reason, but he had heard Huo Xuan address Yan Jinyu.

Eldest Miss Yan…

They were saying "Brother Nine" and "Eldest Miss Yan". In addition, he had seen the photo of the missing eldest daughter of the Yan Family in North City. They really looked a little similar.

He knew that Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu had a relations.h.i.+p, but Yan Jinyu and Min Rufeng…

Why did he feel that they were very familiar too?

As soon as Min Guili spoke, everyone looked at him.

However, it wasn't any of them who answered him. Instead, HOD Hu, who was following behind him, said, "Director, it seems to be the eldest daughter of the Yan Family in North City, Master Nine's fiancée."

Min Guili glanced over with an unfriendly gaze.

HOD Hu was stunned, and then he trembled.

H-he could tell from the director's eyes that he blamed him for interfering!

He quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything else.

"So you're Jinyu from the Yan Family. You do look a little similar to Old Madam Yan when she was young."

Yan Jinyu looked at him and smiled slightly, "If I remember correctly, the Yan Family and the Min Family in the capital don't seem to have any relations.h.i.+p. Don't you think it's a little inappropriate for Director Min to call me 'Jinyu from the Yan Family'?"

The smile on her face faded slightly. "Besides, no matter what, my grandmother is one generation higher than Director Min. Is it appropriate for Director Min to casually talk about the looks of a deceased elder?"

Yan Jinyu wasn't so calculative usually.

There was only one reason why she said that. That was… the person in front of her was Min Rufeng's sc.u.mbag father.

Besides, it was fine if their families had a good relations.h.i.+p. Min Guili did not have any relations.h.i.+p with the Yan Family. Furthermore, he did not even know her grandmother. She didn't like people casually talking about her grandmother's looks.

HOD Hu wished that there was a hole in the ground for him to hide in.

He had actually witnessed the director being reb.u.t.ted by a junior!

The Min Family was an influential family. In the eyes of the Min Family in the capital, the Yan Family in North City was completely a small family. The daughter of the Yan Family, who had been abandoned by this small family, actually dared to rebut the head of the Min Family in public.

This…

He wondered if he would be silenced by the director.

Most importantly, the eldest daughter of the Yan Family still said those words with a smile.

Wasn't she too bold!

What happened to being an unpresentable country b.u.mpkin?

Seeing Min Guili's expression, Huo Siyu felt extremely happy.

This man, who already had a family but yet still deliberately deceived a beautiful girl, deserved to be humiliated like this.

"The daughter of the Yan Family sure has a glib tongue."

After a long while, Min Guili said through gritted teeth.

He thought to himself, If I had known earlier, I would have sent a few more people to North City back then. I shouldn't have tried to get rid of her after the kidnapping. Instead, I should've got rid of her silently straight away!

"Thank you for the compliment." As she spoke, Yan Jinyu looked at Min Guili deeply.

There was a moment earlier when Min Guili looked at her with killing intent?

Oh, Min Guili seemed to be Min Sisi's father.

Min Sisi concealed herself so deeply, so she wondered what role Min Guili played.

However, even though Yan Jinyu couldn't stand Min Guili, she could still identify her priorities. She came today mainly to accompany Huo Siyu for Huo Xuan's treatment, so she naturally couldn't delay the treatment because of Min Guili.

Hence, she retracted her gaze after saying that.

She looked at Huo Siyu.

Huo Siyu received her hint and hurriedly said, "Since Director Min wants to accompany my brother to consult Brother Feng, please sit."

Without waiting for Min Guili to reply, she turned to Min Rufeng. "Brother Feng, I'll have to trouble you for my brother."

Min Rufeng glanced at her.

Huo Siyu smiled shyly.

Brother Feng was blaming her for being too distant.

She was just pretending because there were outsiders around.

Min Guili had always wanted to befriend Huo Xuan, so he naturally wouldn't leave easily at such a time. If it wasn't for that, he would have slammed the door and left when Yan Jinyu spoke to him with that att.i.tude.

Huo Siyu's words gave him an out.

Although it would be even more embarra.s.sing if he really sat down like this.

He had been insulted in the face by a junior and had failed to recover his dignity. Yet, he still braced himself and sat down. If that wasn't embarra.s.sing, what was?

Min Rufeng walked to his desk and sat down. He pointed at the chair beside him and said, "Young Master Huo, sit here."

Huo Xuan actually didn't have much hope. He was only willing to come because he didn't want Huo Siyu to be sad.

However, he actually had a hint of antic.i.p.ation now.

He still had some judgment. After staying in the same s.p.a.ce for so long, how could he not tell that Min Rufeng and Rainy's relations.h.i.+p was not what Rainy had said, which was that they met by chance in the capital.

Moreover, in Min Rufeng's territory, not only Rainy, but Yan Jinyu's behavior was also a little strange.

Why was Yan Jinyu arguing with Min Guili for no reason? Did she have a bad temper?

Although she did have a bad temper, he felt that she was not someone who would argue with others for no reason.

He could not describe exactly how he felt.

Yan Jinyu was obviously hostile towards Min Guili.

But where did this hostility come from?

Looking at Min Rufeng again, he felt that the way he looked at Rainy and Yan Jinyu was different from the way he looked at others.

Could it be that Min Rufeng was very fickle and had taken a fancy to Yan Jinyu and Rainy at the same time?

Although he felt that it was impossible, Huo Xuan still frowned when he thought about that.

After all, he just felt that perhaps Min Rufeng really had the ability to cure him.

It was precisely because of this understanding that he actually didn't dare to get up and walk over now.

He didn't want to be like many times in the past when he had hopes and ended up being even more disappointed.

At the thought of this, Huo Xuan covered his lips and coughed heavily.

Huo Siyu panicked and quickly got up to pour some hot water. "Brother, drink some water first? Why are you coughing again?" He was even coughing more seriously than before.

"I-I'm fine. I'll be fine after a while."

"Nephew Huo's condition seems to be even more serious than a few years ago. If we don't treat him properly, I'm afraid…"

Before Min Guili could finish speaking, Huo Siyu interrupted him angrily, "Do you know how to speak!"

She disliked Min Guili to begin with, so Huo Siyu did not give Min Guili any face at all.

Min Guili originally wanted to say that he wanted Huo Xuan to stay in the Imperial Capital Hospital to recuperate so that he could take the opportunity to win Huo Xuan over. However, he was interrupted by Huo Siyu before he could finish speaking.

No matter how much Min Guili could tolerate being insulted in the face by two juniors, he almost could not tolerate it anymore.

"Rainy… cough cough cough…" Huo Xuan coughed and pretended to berate her," Don't be rude. "

"Director Min, I'm sorry. Rainy is simply worried about me and is anxious…"

Although he said he was sorry, be it his expression or tone, Huo Xuan had no intention of apologizing.

However, what did Min Guili dare to say?

He still wanted to rope him in, so how could he dare to show any displeasure?

His face was stiff. "It's fine. You siblings have a good relations.h.i.+p. It's understandable that the little girl is nervous about you and overreacted."

"Actually, I don't have any other intentions. I just want to advise Nephew Huo as a doctor. If possible, it's best to stay in the capital for treatment. Just treat it as relaxing yourself and resting for a period of time. It's also beneficial to your condition."

When Min Guili said this, Huo Siyu lowered her eyes slightly before Huo Xuan could do anything.

Others didn't see it, but Yan Jinyu did.

She knew that Little Rain didn't care what Min Guili was planning to do with his words. What she cared about was that what Min Guili had mentioned about letting Huo Xuan rest for a period of time was beneficial to his condition.

Little Rain…

Forget it. Let her be. No matter what Little Rain wanted to do, she would support her unconditionally.

However, they were clearly people who wanted to eat and play only. Little Rain had even said that she would never touch the Huo Family's business no matter what, but now…

"Thank you for your concern, Director Min," Huo Xuan said.

He did not notice anything wrong with Huo Siyu.

"What's there to worry about? Your father and I are old friends too. You two are too polite. You don't even want to call me Uncle."

After being insulted twice in a row, Min Guili became smarter and didn't give others a chance to insult him anymore. Hence, he didn't wait for Huo Xuan to reply and said, "Forget it. You can call me whatever you want. It's just a form of address as long as I'm not distant with you."

Huo Xuan only smiled slightly and didn't respond to Min Guili.

He looked at Huo Siyu and said gently, "Alright, Rainy, what are you worried about? I've been ill for a long time. I won't die anytime soon. Don't be dejected."

He nodded slightly at Yan Jinyu, who was sitting at the side, and then stood up to walk towards Min Rufeng.

He sat down on the chair beside Min Rufeng's desk. "Please."

His att.i.tude was neither distant nor close, but it was obvious that he was more sincere.

He was sincerely asking Min Rufeng to treat him.
