“Yao’er, are you concerned about me?” Liu Guang suddenly asked with a smile.

Hei Yao did not respond.

Liu Guang smiled again, seemingly very happy.

“Don’t worry. The information that Chu Ying knows now won’t affect me much even if it gets out. It won’t hurt me. Instead, it’ll make the other party anxious.”

“Once the news gets out, the other party will know that I have more than one bargaining chip.”

“What news?”

Liu Guang’s appraising gaze landed on his face again and he said casually, “It’s not important news. It’s just that Feng Li isn’t dead.”

“In the past, Chu Ying could use this news to threaten me because the news that your godmother is still alive was a secret. After all, if the news that Feng Li is still alive gets out, it will be very troublesome. Now that the other party knows that your godmother is still alive, it won’t affect us too much if they know that Feng Li is still alive too. Instead, it will make them worry.”

“Yes.” Hei Yao was still expressionless as if he was really just asking casually.

Even Liu Guang couldn’t see through him.

“I’ll go upstairs first.”

“Go on.”

***

After a few days, Yan Jinyu went to school as usual.

It was Monday.

She didn’t live in the dormitory. Yin Jiujin would either send her to school personally or Yin Jiujin would get someone to send her there.

She did not go to class with her roommates. They basically met in the classroom.

Usually, Zhao Linlin would occupy their seats when she arrived first.

It was the same today.

As usual, Qin Xuan would occasionally gossip with Chu Xiaohuan in class. Zhao Linlin was very serious in class and rarely spoke to them. Yan Jinyu almost didn’t either.

She was either playing games on her phone or taking out the medical book that she got from Min Rufeng to read.

As for the textbook, she had already finished flipping through it after so many days of classes.

With her memory, flipping through it was equivalent to memorizing it.

There was no pressure to learn.

The morning class ended and the four of them went to the canteen together.

On the way, Qin Xuan asked, “Have you heard that our school belle hasn’t come to class for a while?”

Zhao Linlin nodded. “I heard it.”

“I heard from others that she seemed to have something on at home and applied for leave.”

Of course, Qin Xuan had heard others say that, but she didn’t believe them.

How could it be such a coincidence that Min Sisi didn’t appear in school after she went to the canteen and offended Yan Jinyu that day?

Qin Xuan, who knew Yan Jinyu’s identity, inexplicably felt that Min Sisi’s absence in school was related to Yan Jinyu.

She didn’t want to interfere too much. She was simply gossiping.

She wanted to know what foolishness Min Sisi had committed to offend Yan Jinyu.

“I thought we could meet her again in school and let her compete with Jinyu to see which of them is better looking.”

“Is that obvious?” Chu Xiaohuan and Zhao Linlin said at the same time.

They sounded very surprised.

It was as if Qin Xuan was joking.

“Of course, I know that Min Sisi can’t compare to Jinyu at all. I just want Min Sisi to see the truth. When she saw us in the canteen that day, we were wearing military training uniforms. We didn’t look very good.”

“It was you who didn’t look very good, not Jinyu.” Chu Xiaohuan poured cold water on her rudely.

Qin Xuan didn’t refute, “Of course I know. I’m just afraid that Min Sisi doesn’t have any self-awareness. I heard that she was very influential in school in the past. I just wanted to dampen her spirits in person. All along, I’ve never liked Min Sisi very much, although I didn’t interact much with her.”

Chu Xiaohuan rolled her eyes. “How many people do you like? Didn’t you say last time that you didn’t like Chu Yiran either?”

“I like you guys a lot, but it’s true that I don’t like Chu Yiran. I haven’t heard anything about Chu Yiran recently, and I feel that the air is much fresher.”

Hearing that, Chu Xiaohuan instinctively looked at Yan Jinyu.

She still didn’t know if Chu Yiran was dead or alive. Of course, she didn’t have any news about her.

Chu Xiaohuan knew that Chu Yiran and Min Sisi were both in Yan Jinyu’s hands.

She also knew that not only Chu Yiran and Min Sisi, but Chu Ying was also in Yan Jinyu’s hands.

However, Chu Xiaohuan only thought that Yan Jinyu took Chu Yiran and Chu Ying away because of the cooperation they had agreed on previously, and Yan Jinyu had began to take actions.

As for Min Sisi, it was because she had offended Yan Jinyu.

Chu Xiaohuan didn’t know the real reason why Yan Jinyu took them away.

“By the way, Xiaohuan, Chu Yiran is your cousin. Have you heard anything about her recently? When I came home a few days ago, I heard from my parents that Chu Yiran didn’t take leave when she came to school to look for you. She committed a mistake and was suspended for investigation.”

“I don’t know. I haven’t been back much recently. Even if I go back occasionally, I don’t see her. Not to mention her, I don’t even see my aunt.”

“Your aunt?” Qin Xuan frowned slightly. “Xiaohuan, I’m not saying bad things about the elders, nor am I trying to sow discord between you and your family. I just feel that… how should I put it? Chu Yiran isn’t a good person. Your aunt probably…”

“Sigh, I’m not someone who would poke my nose into other people’s business usually. After all, it’s only wise to protect myself in families like ours. I’m only telling you this because I treat you as a friend. If you think that I’m wrong, you don’t have to take it to heart. Just listen.”

“You’re the heir of the Chu Corporation after all. You’re already 18 years old, but your auntie didn’t let you come into contact with the company’s matters. It will make people think. It’s not my conspiracy theory, but in a family like ours, there are some people and some things that we have to pay more attention to.”

Qin Xuan wasn’t a busybody. Chu Xiaohuan could tell that on the first day she reported to school.

Of course, she knew that Qin Xuan meant well.

“Thank you. We don’t harm others, but we can’t let our guard down. I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t be at a disadvantage.”

She said it with a smile. Qin Xuan only thought that Chu Xiaohuan didn’t take her words to heart. Chu Xiaohuan wasn’t angry because she knew that Qin Xuan meant well.

Forget it. She had reminded her. Xiaohuan was not stupid. She would pay attention.

She only hoped that she was overthinking.

As they spoke, they arrived at the canteen.

They got some food and sat down.

Usually, Huo Siyu would come to look for Yan Jinyu for a meal. She didn’t come today, so she must have been delayed by something.

Yan Jinyu wasn’t worried.

As long as she didn’t meet Liu Guang, she believed that no matter what happened, Huo Siyu would be able to resolve it. And if she met Liu Guang, Huo Siyu would definitely report to her immediately.

Hence, Yan Jinyu wasn’t worried at all.

“By the way, Jinyu, I unintentionally saw the medical books you were reading. I went to the bookshop, but I couldn’t find them. Where did you buy them? I also want to buy them to read. I can’t learn much just by reading the textbooks,” Zhao Linlin asked seriously.

It seemed like she really wanted to learn medicine.

“I didn’t buy them. I borrowed them from a friend. You can’t buy them outside.”

“I see…” Zhao Linlin was a little disappointed.

She wanted to borrow them from Yan Jinyu, but she remembered that Yan Jinyu also borrowed them from a friend, so she retracted her words.

However, Yan Jinyu smiled when she saw her like this. “I can lend them to you to read, but most of these books are the only existing copy collected by my friend. You might have to cherish them when you read them.”

This wasn’ an unreasonable request. Min Rufeng treasured these books very much. If it wasn’t for Yan Jinyu, he might not have lent them out.

If Yan Jinyu hadn’t thought highly of Zhao Linlin and felt that she was a good seedling and a person who was willing to work on her medical skills with an honest heart, she might not have lent Min Rufeng’s books to her.

Zhao Linlin’s goal was to enter the Imperial Capital Hospital. If she learned well, she might be a big shot under Min Rufeng in the future.

This was Yan Jinyu’s thoughts.

At the end of the day, it was because she liked Zhao Linlin.

“Really? Are you really willing to lend it to me?” Zhao Linlin’s eyes lit up.

“Don’t worry, I’ll cherish them very much. My grandfather studied medicine. He also has a few medical books left behind by our ancestors. He values those books very much. Of course, I know how precious medical books are.”

As she spoke, Zhao Linlin scratched her head in embarrassment. “Actually, I could tell that your medical books were not simple. However, I still didn’t give up and went to the bookshop to look for them. I even searched for them on the Internet for a long time. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find them.”

“When we were chatting previously, you said that your family does business. I thought that no one in your family would be learning medicine, so I didn’t dare to think that they are the only existing copies. I wanted to try my luck and perhaps I could buy them.”

Actually, even if she didn’t explain, Yan Jinyu wouldn’t have thought too much about it.

She felt that her taste in people was not bad.

At least, after all these years, she had only misjudged…

Even if she did, it was only once.

“I’ll think of a way to borrow those medical books from my grandfather the next time I go back. I’ll show them to you too.”

Yan Jinyu could tell that Zhao Linlin didn’t want to take advantage of her, so she didn’t reject her. “Sure.”

Actually, Yan Jinyu didn’t care if she could read Zhao Linlin’s grandfather’s medical books or not. After she finished reading Min Rufeng’s medical books and Min Rufeng’s personal medical notes, her Chinese medicine skills would probably be at the level of a master.

Zhao Linlin was very happy to have borrowed the books.

Qin Xuan and Chu Xiaohuan were not interested in them.

They happened to get this major. The chances of them taking this path in the future were not high, so they would not spend too much time on it.

However, seeing that Zhao Linlin was so obviously happy, their mood improved too.

“Jinyu, could the friend whom you borrowed the books from be the Second Young Master of the Min Family?” Chu Xiaohuan asked curiously.

Min Rufeng was the director of the Imperial Capital Hospital now. His medical skills had long been rumored to be legendary.

Yan Jinyu smiled and nodded.

She was quite happy now, happy that Feng was gradually living the life of an ordinary person.

Look at him now. Feng was so famous that even her roommate had heard of him.

Indeed, Liu Guang had to be resolved as quickly as possible.

After settling Liu Guang, everything would develop in a good way.

Chu Xiaohuan had just asked casually, but she didn’t expect it to be true.

She was shocked.

On second thought, Jinyu’s fiancé was that person. It didn’t seem strange for him to have a good relationship with Second Young Master Min.

As a true fan of the Imperial Capital Hospital, Zhao Linlin was completely stunned when she heard their conversation.

She knew that the director of the Imperial Capital Hospital was the Second Young Master of the Min Family.

She had also heard how good Second Young Master Min’s medical skills were.

Second Young Master Min was her idol!

“Jinyu, y-you said that the medical books you read are Second Young Master Min’s? The current director of the Imperial Capital Hospital, Second Young Master Min Rufeng, who is the youngest ever director in the Imperial Capital Hospital and is very accomplished in medicine?”

Yan Jinyu smiled when she saw that Zhao Linlin was so excited. “Yes.”

“Oh my god! I’m actually going to read the medical books in my idol’s collection! It feels like a dream! Jinyu, you…”

She suddenly paused.

Yan Jinyu smiled at her.

Zhao Linlin hurriedly shook her head and said, “N-nothing. I’m just too excited. I didn’t expect to be lucky enough to see the medical books in my idol’s collection one day.”

She actually wanted to ask. If Jinyu could borrow such a precious medical book from Second Young Master Min and even said that she was friends with Second Young Master Min, who was a big shot, then Jinyu’s identity…

She suddenly remembered that when she first saw Jinyu, she felt that her temperament was not like that of an ordinary person. There was nothing strange about it.

No matter what Jinyu’s identity was, she only needed to know that Jinyu was her roommate. She only needed to know that Jinyu was her roommate who was lucky enough to see the only copy of the medical books in her idol’s collection.

Yan Jinyu smiled faintly.

She knew that was not what Zhao Linlin wanted to say, but she did not expose her.

Her impression of Zhao Linlin improved again.

She didn’t look down on herself because of her background. No matter who she interacted with, she wouldn’t feel inferior and would only focus on improving herself.

She maintained her honest heart and was confident.

Not everyone could do that.

As they chatted, someone walked into the canteen with a bouquet of roses.

He walked straight towards them… or rather, straight towards Yan Jinyu.

He handed the flowers to her. “Yan Jinyu, I like you. Can you be my girlfriend?”

Yan Jinyu was calm, but the three people at the side were stunned.

Especially Chu Xiaohuan and Qin Xuan. With a plop, their chopsticks fell.

They looked at the boy in shock and admiration.

They were just short of giving him a thumbs up and calling him brave.

At the same time, someone in the canteen spat out the food in his mouth.

“Damn, that bro is very bold!”

The person sitting opposite him handed him a tissue. “Wipe yourself.”

However, he was actually not very calm either.

These two people were none other than Xu Gui and Luo Yikun.

The two of them had not seen each other for a few days. They only sat together to eat today because they happened to meet in the canteen.

Of course, only Luo Yikun knew if it was a coincidence.

“Luo Yikun, I want to go over and take a look. I’m too far away to hear what they’re saying. Do you want to go with me?”

He then realized that Luo Yikun had already stood up.

“Let’s go over and take a look,” Luo Yikun said to him..
