Chapter 152 - Brother Jiu Is Here
The guards of the Yan Manor surrounded them. There were at least seven or eight of them, and all of them were taller than the guards of ordinary mansions. In an instant, they blocked the alley that was not considered spacious.
The customers who were eating the mutton soup were all frightened away. The old couple and the young couple could not bear to part with the stall and the unfinished mutton, so they stayed behind in fear.
Yu Wan shielded the three children behind her. Yan Ruyu had really gone crazy. The children were here and she was about to start a fight here. Wasn’t she afraid that something would happen to the young children?
The guards were afraid of hurting the little masters. After exchanging glances, they decided to separate Yu Wan from the little masters first before teaching this woman a lesson.
Yu Wan’s thoughts coincided with theirs. No matter what, she could not accidentally hurt the children.
It was unknown if they had sensed Yu Wan’s intention to “throw them away”, but the three little fellows hugged Yu Wan tightly and did not let go.
Yan Ruyu gradually lost her patience. “Hurry up and do it!”
The guards walked towards the three little fellows and Yu Wan respectively. They stretched out their strong arms and were about to touch them when suddenly, a grayish-blue figure flew over and kicked the surrounding guards to the ground.
Everything happened in a flash. Before Yan Ruyu could understand what had happened, the guards that she had sent out collapsed in the alley one after another, and everyone fainted.
When the customers who were frightened away saw that the situation had reversed, they quietly slipped out. Of course, they did not dare to get too close. They only stood at the other end of the alley and looked over.
They didn’t know Yu Wan, nor did they know Yan Ruyu, but they felt strange when they heard Yan Ruyu say that she was the mother of the triplets. No matter how they looked at it, they felt that the girl looked more like the mother of the triplets. Looking at how she was protecting the children tightly, it didn’t seem like she was pretending.
“It can’t be the first wife, can it?”
The passersby imagined a family drama—a maidservant who came from a slightly humble background was pregnant with the Old Master’s child. After ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to three children, but the first wife took the child away. The maidservant was unwilling, so she took the child far away, only to be caught by the first wife…
Yu Wan still did not know that she had accidentally become the pitiful maidservant who “escaped” with her sons. She recognized that the person who had arrived was Shadow Thirteen. She had seen how powerful Shadow Thirteen was. Even if Yan Ruyu called all the guards in the Yan Manor, they would not be a match for Shadow Thirteen.
Yu Wan heaved a sigh of relief and removed the arm that covered the children’s eyes.
Yan Ruyu did not know who the other party was. She had only met Yan Jiuchao once at the White Jade Restaurant. At that time, Yan Jiuchao only brought Uncle Wan along.
Yan Ruyu asked coldly, “Who are you? How dare you interfere in the General Manor business!”
“He’s my person. What’s wrong?”
A clear and arrogant voice slowly sounded from the other end of the alley. A man alighted from the carriage. He was wearing a silver-white cloak and had a tall figure. His face was defined, and his eyes had stars hidden in them. His bearing of looking down on the world was unparalleled. He was too handsome and it was difficult to look at him.
But even with a quick glance, it was not difficult to notice that this was a face that was carved from the same mold as the triplets.
Everyone: The master who slept with a maidservant?! Why wasn’t he fat…
Shadow Thirteen stepped to the side, blocking everyone’s view.
Yan Ruyu looked at Yan Jiuchao in a daze. He’s such a handsome man that countless women wanted to marry him despite his bad reputation. Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed. This man was hers.
Yan Ruyu collected her thoughts and lowered her eyes, revealing a wronged and weak expression. “Yu’er greets Young Master.”
Yu Wan had goosebumps from this delicate “Yu’er”.
Yan Jiuchao replied indifferently and glanced at Yu Wan, whose expression was extremely dark.
Yan Ruyu followed his gaze and was overjoyed. However, she said with extreme self-reproach, “I didn’t know that the knight was the Young Master’s guard. I was rude. However, that guard might have misunderstood. That wo…”
She wanted to say that woman, but when the words reached her lips, she suddenly remembered that Yu Wan was the savior of the three little fellows. Yan Jiuchao had also seen her when he went to the White Jade Restaurant.
Yan Ruyu changed her words. “To be honest, Young Master, the three children went missing yesterday. I searched overnight and finally met them here. I didn’t expect that the person who kidnapped the children would be Miss Yu.”
Kidnapped? Didn’t they get separated? Yu Wan looked at Yan Ruyu and realized that her expression didn’t seem to be fake. Could it be…
Yan Jiuchao said, “You’re saying that she kidnapped my sons?”
When Yan Ruyu heard this dangerous tone, she knew that Yu Wan was going to be in deep trouble. She suppressed her joy and continued in a low voice, “That’s right. Yu’er doesn’t understand why Miss Yu did this either. She clearly saved the children, and I thought she was a good person, but I didn’t expect—could it be that she had another motive for approaching the children last time?”
“Other motives?” Yan Jiu narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Yu Wan’s heart skipped a beat when she saw this gaze. For some reason, she had an ominous feeling.
Yan Ruyu struck while the iron was hot and choked as she said, “Not only did she kidnap the children, she also injured my mother. My mother was unconscious for an entire night…”
Yan Jiuchao looked at Yu Wan and said sarcastically, “You’ve grown capable. Very good, very good!”
Yan Ruyu’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this tone. She thought to herself that this village girl had offended Young Master Yan and probably wouldn’t live past tonight!
Yan Jiuchao looked at Yu Wan meaningfully and turned to walk towards the carriage. “Shadow Thirteen, bring her over to me!”
With that, he got into the car without looking back.
Yan Ruyu planned to follow, but Shadow Thirteen blocked her path. “Miss Yan, please go back.”
Yan Ruyu really wanted to witness Yu Wan’s fate with her own eyes, but not everyone had the guts to watch Young Master Yan’s show. Yan Ruyu nodded gently and turned around to hold the three children’s hands. However, the three children quickly caught up to their father and hung on his lap.
One had to have a death wish to snatch his children from Young Master Yan!
Yan Ruyu took a deep breath and squeezed out an ugly smile before reluctantly leaving.
After Yan Jiuchao got into the carriage, he pulled his little brats down like he was eating a skewer and threw them to Shadow Six.
Yu Wan was brought up.
Immediately after, Shadow Thirteen retreated ten feet away with a strong desire to live.
It would be unreasonable if Yu Wan still could not figure out the truth of the matter. She did not expect her mother to be so bold as to kidnap them in broad daylight. That was Yan Jiuchao’s flesh and blood, the man that she could not afford to offend in the entire Capital.
Yu Wan no longer had the time to think about why her mother did this. The most important thing was to appease Yan Jiuchao’s anger.
First of all, she had to act obedient.
Yu Wan lowered her head and imitated Yan Ruyu’s delicate appearance. She reached out and tugged at Yan Jiuchao’s sleeve weakly.
Unexpectedly, she accidentally… tore it.
Yu Wan : “…”
Yan Jiuchao : “…”
Yan Jiuchao gritted his teeth. “Are you still angry?”
… No, I didn’t. Yu Wan silently retracted her hand like a child who had been caught doing something wrong.
“You’ve grown bold. You even dare to kidnap my sons?” Yan Jiuchao asked sinisterly.
“I don’t dare,” Yu Wan said honestly.
Yan Jiuchao said, “Heh, you say you don’t dare, but your body is very honest. Could it be that my sons ran to your house by themselves?”
Yu Wan could not say anything.
Yan Jiuchao asked again, “Do you know who Mrs. Yan is?”
Yu Wan said obediently, “Yan Ruyu’s biological mother.”
Yan Jiuchao raised his eyebrows coldly. “If you knew, why did you still touch her? On purpose? If I hadn’t arrived in time, would you have beaten Yan Ruyu up too?”
Yu Wan could not refute. She really wanted to beat Yan Ruyu up.
Yan Jiuchao glanced at her and said, “You really can’t stand seeing other women around me!”
It was unknown what kind of bragging tone it was.
Yu Wan blinked her eyes strangely. The first few sentences sounded like it, but what did the last sentence mean?
Yan Jiuchao took a deep breath and said resentfully, “I’ve only been gone for a few days, and you’re already so impatient… You little jealous lover!”
Yu Wan was suddenly speechless! They couldn’t continue this topic. If they continued, she wouldn’t be able to clear her name.
Yu Wan had an idea and pointed at the Baizhi Hall opposite. “I brought my uncle to the Capital today to treat his leg.” I’m definitely not here for you!
Yan Jiuchao narrowed his eyes. “The closest pharmacy to the Young Master Mansion?”
Whut? Yu Wan looked up in confusion.
Yan Jiuchao tapped his slender fingers on the table and looked at her without blinking. “After passing through the alley that sold mutton soup just now, we’ll reach the wall of the Young Master Manor. Do you dare say you don’t know?”
Yu Wan: I really don’t know!
