“Yin Hanyu, you bastard! Are you trying to make me die from anger?”
Old Master Yin was so furious that he was gasping for breath.
Yin Yichen quickly stepped forward to help him calm down.
“Grandpa, what’s done is done. Just accept it. My sister-in-law is a great person.”
Old Master Yin kicked Yin Yichen in frustration. “Get lost!”
Yin Yichen: “……”
Boohoo, why was he always the punching bag in this family?
“You, come here. I have something to say to you.”
Old Master Yin, having caught his breath, looked at Lin Qingyou and spoke.
Lin Qingyou was about to step forward when Yin Hanyu grabbed her hand.
He pulled her behind him, shielding her, and looked at Old Master Yin unhappily. “Grandpa, whatever you have to say, you can say it in front of me. If you say something inappropriate because of your age and temper, I can at least correct you.”
Old Master Yin: “……” This unfilial child!
Yin Yichen: “……”
He wished he could be as brave as his brother just once!
How could someone be so bold?
As expected of his brother—respect!
Old Master Yin stared at Lin Qingyou with piercing eyes. Though he was old, his gaze was sharp, like a hawk’s, full of authority and intimidation.
Lin Qingyou met his gaze, neither humble nor arrogant, completely unafraid.
She had already died once.
What else was there to fear?
In her past life, she had only met Old Master Yin once.
He had told her to leave Yin Hanyu.
But later, for some reason, he stopped mentioning it.
She didn’t know what Yin Hanyu had said or what kind of deal he had made, but she was certain he had paid a heavy price.
Because while her family was wealthy, they were nothing compared to the Yin family.
Companies like hers were insignificant compared to the Yin family’s vast empire.
But this time, she wouldn’t let Yin Hanyu face everything alone.
If they were to be together, it shouldn’t be just Yin Hanyu making sacrifices and putting in effort.
She needed to contribute and fight for their future too.
Lin Qingyou tightened her grip on Yin Hanyu’s hand.
Yin Hanyu felt her small movement and thought she was scared of Old Master Yin.
So, he immediately issued an order. “You are not welcome here. Leave now.”
“Y-You—!”
Furious, Old Master Yin turned around and left, slamming the door so hard that it echoed throughout the house.
But Lin Qingyou ran after him.
Yin Hanyu pulled her back. “Qingyou, don’t bother with him.”
Lin Qingyou temporarily let go of his hand. “If I don’t deal with him now, he’ll come looking for me again. You can’t be by my side 24/7.”
Yin Hanyu said, “I can stay with you 24/7.”
Lin Qingyou: “……”
“Aiya, be good.” Lin Qingyou tiptoed and kissed his cheek.
After giving him a little reward, she issued a direct command. “Go wash the vegetables first. I’ll be right back. We’re having hotpot tonight.”
“Don’t worry, I’m prepared for this. I also have something to say to him.”
“Alright.” Yin Hanyu reluctantly nodded.
Just as Lin Qingyou reached the door, Yin Hanyu called out again. “If that old man says anything bad to you, don’t keep it to yourself. Tell me, and I’ll stand up for you.”
“I know, I know…” Lin Qingyou smiled and ran off.
She quickly chased after Old Master Yin and caught sight of him near the lobby entrance, about to get into his car.
Surrounded by a group of men in black suits, Old Master Yin stood at the center like a king. Some of them held umbrellas to shield him from the wind and rain, while others respectfully opened the car door for him.
The customized, extended Lincoln limousine in the middle of the group was striking. Its sleek black body gleamed under the light, exuding a cold, domineering aura like a beast lying in wait.
The sheer presence of the car, combined with its intimidating size, created a palpable sense of authority—just like its owner, Old Master Yin.
Lin Qingyou clicked her tongue in amazement.
What an extravagant display!
It was like a royal procession from ancient times—grand and imposing.
Well, considering Old Master Yin’s status and influence, it was no surprise that he wouldn’t travel alone.
But he had gone upstairs alone earlier.
He must really care about Yin Hanyu.
He knew Yin Hanyu hated being disturbed by outsiders, so he had left his bodyguards downstairs.
Seeing Lin Qingyou chase after him, Old Master Yin was slightly surprised.
He gestured for her to come over.
The bodyguards immediately stepped back in unison, well-trained and disciplined.
Lin Qingyou jogged forward.
“You’re not afraid of me?” Old Master Yin asked.
Lin Qingyou frowned. “Why should I be afraid of you?”
“Do you even know who I am?” he asked again.
“Of course, I do,” Lin Qingyou replied. “You are Yin Hanyu’s grandfather.”
Old Master Yin froze for a few seconds.
Then, his expression became unreadable. “Young lady, do you realize that people usually introduce me as ‘Yin Tianzheng, the legendary figure,’ not ‘someone’s grandfather’?”
Lin Qingyou immediately understood what he meant, but she stuck to her stance.
She said, “But to me, your identity is simply Yin Hanyu’s grandfather. If you weren’t his grandfather, I wouldn’t be speaking with you right now.”
Old Master Yin: “……”
The bodyguards exchanged bewildered looks.
Was this girl out of her mind?
Did she know what she was saying?
But Yin Tianzheng suddenly burst into laughter. He gestured for Lin Qingyou to get into the car.
Lin Qingyou shook her head. “I have to go back and cook hotpot. I won’t be going with you.”
Yin Tianzheng: “……”
He must have picked the wrong day to go out.
Dealing with Yin Hanyu was bad enough, and now this little girl dared to reject him outright?
“Then why did you come down here?” Yin Tianzheng asked, clearly displeased.
“I know you’re not satisfied with me. You think I’m not good enough for Yin Hanyu.”
“At least you’re self-aware.” Yin Tianzheng said, “Since you know, you should take the hint and leave him. Otherwise, I’ll make you.”
“I will not leave Yin Hanyu.”
“You…”
Yin Tianzheng’s sharp eyes flashed with anger. “Young lady, are you provoking me?”
“No,” Lin Qingyou shook her head. “I’m just here to show you my determination.”
“I wanted to make things clear today so you don’t waste your efforts in the future.”
“Waste my efforts?” Yin Tianzheng scoffed.
“You think I’m just concerned about status and family background, and that’s why I want to find him a better match. But Yin Hanyu doesn’t even care about the Yin family, let alone a marriage of convenience.”
“You…”
“You’re Yin Hanyu’s grandfather, right? You know him well… If you truly understand him, then you should realize—
The more you oppose me, the more you make things difficult for me, the more he will cherish me, protect me, and love me.”
“You…”
“So instead of making things hard for me and causing yourself frustration—
Why don’t we work together for a win-win situation?”
