Chapter 34 (First Update) [VIP]

"The Gong family?"

"Yes, that's right, it's the Gong family, the ones who tried to capture Yue Ling outside the woods two months ago, but we chased them away!"

Feeling a bit bored waiting outside, Yin Chusan went for a stroll to check the situation in the distance and let anyone know if they came by.

These past two days, Juanyun Lane has been busy preparing for a banquet, and everyone coming and going is preoccupied with their own tasks. Yin Chujiu's other cousins ​​also have missions to attend to, so it seems there shouldn't be any problems. Yin Chujiu prepared to go back, but he hadn't gone far when he ran into his cousins.

They chatted with Yin Chusan for a while after they met him, and then asked him why he wasn't helping out. Yin Chusan said he was helping out and was just out for some fresh air. His cousins, who were being exploited, complained to him about how relaxed he was.

The other two factions were already quite busy preparing for the banquet, but then the Gong family somehow found out and decided to attend as well. Now, the workload has increased even more.

I was already incredibly busy, and now I'm even busier.

This is outrageous!

He and Yin Chu Jiu had previously played a trick on those scaredy-cats from the Gong family for Yue Ling's sake. If they found out that Yin Chu Jiu was here, things would be terrible.

As for Yue Ling, Yin Chusan didn't care much. After all, his face had changed, so who could recognize him as the hairy monster from before?

So Yin Chusan rushed back to Yue Ling's house, not even bothering to wait for the two of them to be inside worshipping, and hurriedly told them what had happened.

He specifically called Yin Chu Jiu back to celebrate Uncle Yin's birthday, but now the birthday celebration has turned into a banquet, and he's even brought his biggest enemy to his house. He might as well not have called Yin Chu Jiu back at all.

"Chu Jiu, you two should hurry back to the clinic. The Gong family members are only in the main hall right now. You two go out through the back door, and I'll go to the front to keep watch for you."

This unexpected event not only made Yin Chu San nervous, but Yin Chu Jiu also felt a little nervous upon hearing it. He wasn't worried about his own safety, but rather about Yue Ling's safety.

He understood the characters he created; Gong Yunxi wasn't the type to give up halfway. He was interested in Yue Ling with her long hair, so he would naturally be interested in Yue Ling without it.

If Yue Ling is caught by Gong Yunxi, then he will definitely use other methods to humiliate Yue Ling.

“Okay, let’s go now.” Yin Chu Jiu stood up and said, “I’ll go back and write a letter for my parents to explain to them, otherwise I’m afraid they’ll worry.”

Yin Chusan nodded, "Okay, I'll go find out some more information and I'll come find you in a bit."

Yin Chusan ran off in a hurry again, and only then did Yin Chujiu have time to talk to the boy beside him. He took Yue Ling's hand and felt very apologetic.

"I'm sorry, Yue Ling. I originally wanted you to properly pay respects to your parents this time, but this has gone wrong."

Yue Ling grabbed Yin Chu Jiu's hand, turned to look at his parents' memorial tablets, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in his calm eyes. "It's alright." They won't mind.

Back home, Yin Chu Jiu found paper and pen in the house, ground ink, and began to write a letter.

Yue Ling went to pack some things. He and Yin Chu Jiu had been staying here for the past two days, and Uncle Yin and Aunt Yin had prepared some items for them, including clothes, shoes, socks, and some accessories.

He gathered all the items together and wrapped them in a cloth, but when he got there, he stopped. His dark eyes stared at the ornate objects on the table, his expression inscrutable.

Meanwhile, Yin Chu Jiu had already finished writing the letter, carefully dried it, folded it up, and weighed it down with a teacup.

Yue Ling withdrew her gaze from the boy, lowered her head, and neatly and efficiently put all the items away.

Yin Chu Jiu sensed that the boy's mood had dropped. He had seemed to be in a good mood while he was worshipping, but now he was not.

The boy's emotions have been fluctuating a lot these past few days, and Yin Chu Jiu has been paying close attention to those subtle changes.

"What's wrong?" He took Yue Ling's hand and asked carefully, "Are you unhappy?"

Yue Ling shook her head slightly, then pulled Yin Chu Jiu towards the courtyard exit, saying, "Let's go."

wrong.

Yin Chu Jiu stopped and stood still. He stared into the eyes of the boy who had turned around because he had stopped, looking for a long time, not missing a single expression on his face, from his slightly furrowed brows to his lightly pursed lips.

Finally, he noticed the bundle on the boy's back. Then, as if struck by a thought, he told Yue Ling to put the bundle down; they didn't need to take anything back with them.

They came without bringing anything, and naturally they left without bringing anything either.

The key point is that he didn't want to take the contents of that bundle back with him.

Upon opening the bundle and seeing its contents, Yin Chu Jiu had only one thought in her mind: "As expected."

These past two days, perhaps to make up for the years he was away, or perhaps to make up for his neglect of Yue Ling back then, Uncle Yin and Aunt Yin bought them a lot of things. Yin Chu Jiu had told them privately not to buy them, but they still did.

There were many clothes among those things, all of which they couldn't afford and had never worn.

If he and Yue Ling were just ordinary children, these clothes would naturally be a great gift for them, but they are not ordinary children, and Yue Ling is even less so.

These gifts will not make Yue Ling happy; on the contrary, they will make him feel heavy-hearted.

No wonder Yue Ling's expression was off; it turned out he had packed all these things up. Yin Chu Jiu never wanted to take these things back, nor did she intend to pack them up. Taking them back would only cause Yue Ling distress, and he couldn't bear to part with them.

Unexpectedly, Yue Ling packed it up herself.

"Let's go." After putting the bundle back, Yin Chu Jiu pulled Yue Ling and walked outside.

A glint of light appeared in Yue Ling's calm eyes. As she followed Yin Chu Jiu, she seemed to be trying to get some words from him that would satisfy him. She asked softly, "Those clothes are very beautiful. Don't you want to wear them?"

Yin Chu Jiu waved her hand, and seeing Yue Ling's fair and delicate face made her feel great.

"No, we won't wear them. If we want to wear them, we'll earn the money and buy them ourselves. We can wear as many as we want then. When we get back this time, I plan to borrow some money from Zizhuo to buy a small house for us. I'll also try to find some ways to make money so that our lives can get better."

Yue Ling pursed her lips and quietly tightened her grip on Yin Chu Jiu.

Yin Chusan was quite resourceful; he had a lot of quirky ideas in his head, and he managed to safely escort Yin Chujiu and Yue Ling out of Juanyun Alley.

Yin Chu Jiu and Yue Ling didn't linger. After saying goodbye to Yin Chu San, they rushed to the clinic.

Zi Zhuo holds a special position in Yundu City. As a highly skilled physician, he is someone that most people dare not offend, including Gong Yunxi.

They are not safe in Rolling Cloud Lane, but they are absolutely safe in the clinic.

However, neither Yin Chusan who went back nor Yin Chujiu and Yue Ling who left knew that there were several people far behind them.

That evening, Gong Yunxi ate fruit while listening to the servants below report the news they had received from the Yin family. Her usually pretty face scrunched up from the sourness, and she even put down her crossed legs.

"Guards, take this fruit away and throw it away. Whoever picked this fruit, drag that person away and give them twenty lashes." After giving the order, Gong Yunxi said to the servants below, "Say it again."

The fruit was too sour; he didn't hear clearly.

The servant lowered his head and reported again.

"They gave us an answer from Juanyun Lane, saying they could hand over Yin Chu Jiu. But Yin Chu Jiu has already been expelled from the Yin family and is currently staying at Zhuo Zi Medical Clinic, so they can't bring her to us even if they want to. As for Yue Ling, they can't catch him either."

"Didn't you say I absolutely had to catch those two people?" Gong Yunxi frowned, questioning in the manner of a spoiled young master.

"I did mention it, and I also subtly suggested using Yin Chu Jiu's parents to lure Yin Chu Jiu out, but the Yin family said that Yin Chu Jiu's parents have made significant contributions to the Yin family, and if we did that, it would discourage the rest of the family, so they refused. However, they also said that no matter how we treat Yin Chu Jiu and that monster, they will not interfere or take action."

Gong Yunxi was finally a little satisfied and slowly dried her fingers. "That's more like it. What else? Let's see how the people at the clinic respond."

"According to the people at the clinic, Yin Chu Jiu went back to the Yin family a couple of days ago, but secretly returned to the clinic today, probably because she learned that we were going to attend the banquet. However..."

"Just what?" Gong Yunxi asked, displeased. "You dare to stammer in front of me!"

The servant shuddered and said, "He said he only saw Yin Chu Jiu, not the monster. There was someone with Yin Chu Jiu, but it wasn't the monster. They guessed that person might be a disciple of the medical clinic."

"Get lost." Gong Yunxi waved her hand. These people are really useless. "There's no need to wait for the two of them to come out together. It's fine if it's just Yin Chu Jiu. Bring him here. I don't believe that the monster can hide safely if Yin Chu Jiu is captured."

"When that monster arrives, you take your men and capture him. You dare disrespect me? I'll make sure you lose all face!"

Yin Chu Jiu and Yue Ling stayed at the clinic for nearly half a month after their return before deciding to risk going out. The reason was simple: Yin Chu San had brought them the latest news a couple of days ago.

He said that Gong Yunxi wanted Juanyun Lane to hand him and Yue Ling over, but Juanyun Lane refused. He didn't hear all the details of what the Gong family and Juanyun Lane discussed, but the main point was that Juanyun Lane refused, which meant that Juanyun Lane would stand up for them.

Yin Chu San was simple-minded and always thought the best of things. Yin Chu Jiu wasn't as simple-minded; after hearing those rumors, he remained at the clinic. Later, the Yin family sent a message asking him to return home to discuss Yue Ling's matter. He thought about it for a long time before deciding to go.

Besides these, he had two other plans.

1. He needs money to buy a house, so he has to go back to where they used to live to get the money back. 2. He plans to go to the City Lord's Mansion to see if he can make a deal with them to get the City Lord's Mansion to forbid the Gong family from harming him and Yue Ling.

Even so, he still didn't bring Yue Ling along. Even when Yue Ling tried to coax him, he sternly refused.

However, Yin Chu Jiu didn't expect that the Gong family had already shifted their focus to him. So, when he came out of his old dilapidated house and saw a group of people outside the gate, he didn't react immediately.

The Yin family betrayed him.
