Chapter 6

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

Things had to be traced back to before Lin Xin’ers transmigration into <<All for Prosperity>>.

That day, Ji Ting rarely had no leftover work on the research institute, and Lin Xin’er also had no ‘work’, so they both stayed at home.

Ji Ting was busy preparing lunch on the kitchen, while Lin Xin’er was leisurely waiting on the bedroom surfing the internet .

The Junior High School Class Group Chat was still noisy as always.

[Daodao: Xiaodai, when will you come out to play football?]

[Xiaodai: You want to play football? I have been looking for teammates =. = ]

[Ah, Pei: Daodao, I’ve just seen you recently……]

[Daodao: When?]

[Ah, Pei: ……on a photo.]

[Daodao: Where?]

[Ah, Pei: Jiayuan of the Century (a dating website).]

[Daodao: Am I handsome?]

[Ah, Pei: Hahaha~ I like your sense of humor.]

[Daodao: Isn’t it? Then you may have identified the wrong person.]

[Ye Long: Are you going to play football?]

[Xiaodai: I have this idea.]

[Ye Long: Have you thought about it for a long time?]

[Xiaodai: For many years– ]

Lin Xin’er couldn’t help laughing at the computer. As soon as she put her fingers on the keyboard, she heard Ji Ting yell in the direction of her bedroom, “Xin’er, come out and serve the food.”

“Oh, okay.” Lin Xin’er replied, shutting down the computer.

When she walked into the kitchen, she smelled the aroma of fried rice. Lin Xiner looked at the golden omelete rice on the plate and drooled, “Xiao Tingting, you can even make omelet rice?”

Ji Ting took off her apron and said, “You pour the ketchup on. There’s a new bottle on the fridge.”

“Okay.” Lin Xiner opened the refrigerator and saw a brand new bottle of ketchup inside.

It may be that the glass bottle was covered with moisture after being refrigerated; Lin Xin’er had a particularly hard time opening the bottle cap.

When the bottle cap was finally opened, due to excessive force, the ketchup bottle came out of her hand and flew directly into Ji Ting’s body.

Although Ji Ting quickly caught the bottle that was thrown on her arms, a lot of ketchup still splashed out of the bottle and successfully landed on her.

The spots of tomato ketchup on the snow-white coat were extremely red.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” Lin Xin’er quickly picked up the rag and wanted to clean it for Ji Ting. But Ji Ting took the rag in Yin Yin’s hand and said, “This should not be wiped clean. I’ll take it for dry cleaning.”

The memory ends there.

However, there seems to be something wrong.

What on earth is it that always gave Yin Yin a sense of disharmony?

“In fact, your nephew came this time mainly for……”

Qian Cai’s voice made Yin Yin alert. She didn’t wait for Qian Cai to finish his sentence, and interrupted him quickly, “Young Master Qian, how’s Little Magpie recently?”

The smile on Qian Cai’s face broke off. He stood rigidly on the same spot, as if some expert had pressed on his acupuncture points.

Yin Yin’s eyes were full of smile, but she shuddered when she saw his expression.

After a long time, he found his voice, “I don’t know who the little magpie Miss Yin is talking about?”

Yin Yin said in surprise, “You don’t know?”

Qian Cai shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”

Yin Yin said strangely, “Then why do you know that the Little Magpie I am talking about is a person, and not a bird?”

Qian Cai froze again.

Yin Yin hooked the corner of her mouth, went to the table and drank a few mouthfuls of tea.

Yin Dongjiang saw Qian Cai looked different, and said with concern, “Good Nephew Qian, is there anything wrong?”

Qian Cai came back to his senses and cupped his hand towards Yin Dongjiang, saying, “Your nephew is not feeling well today, so I will come and visit again some other day.”

After Qian Cai finished speaking, he gave Yin Yin a calm look and turned to go out. Yin Yin put down the tea cup in her hand and ran after him. “Father, I’m going to send out Young Master Qian.”

After walking out of Yin Jiazhuang, Qian Cai finally couldn’t help but asked coldly, “Where did Miss Yin learn about Little Magpie?”

Yin Yin smiled and said, “If don’t want anyone to know, don’t do it.”(idiom)

“You-!” Qian Cai stared at Yin Yin and his eyes were about to burst into flames. Yin Yin patted him on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry Young Master Qian, as long as you stop pestering me, I promise to let this matter rot on my stomach.”

Qian Cai’s fists were clenched. If it weren’t for Yin Yin being the eldest lady of Yin Jiazhuang, he would definitely find someone to kill her.

“I also hope that Miss Yin will remember what she had said today.” Qian Cai have to grit his teeth just to finish his sentence. He flicked his sleeves and abruptly leaves.

Yin Yin looked at his angry back, feeling refreshed in her heart.

Turning around happily, she saw Ling Long standing behind her.

Yin Yin walked forward with a smile. “I really have to thank Young Master Lin this time. But then again, I didn’t expect Qian Cai would have an affair with Hu Lingling. If you let Mu Dingxiu know that his good brother and his most beloved third wife have a relationship……hahaha, the two big families will turn against each other; it will definitely be very interesting.”

Ling Long: “……”

This Eldest Miss is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

Yin Yin, who was on high spirit, continued, “Moreover, Qian Cai gave Hu Lingling such a vulgar name as Little Magpie. It’s really a pity he just backed off.”

Ling Long calmly said, “I heard that this is the name Qian Cai calls when he and Hu Lingling were loving each other; because he thought Hu Lingling’s voice is as sweet as a magpie.”

Yin Yin: “……”

How can you say these shameless words without any expression?! This doesn’t match with your character setting, okay!

Ling Long looked at Yin Yin, who had reddish cheeks beside him, and felt a little funny.

After a few steps, Ling Long asked in a low voice, “Miss Yin, do you know who I am?”

Yin Yin was stiffened by Ling Long’s sudden question. She calmed down and said, “I know. Lin Yuqi, a passing businessman.”

Yin Yin saw that Ling Long was just looking at her and not speaking. She said, “Or does Young Master Lin have another identity?”

Ling Long lowered his eyes and asked, “Why do you think I know something about Qian Cai?”

“Err, I just asked casually with the attitude of giving it a try. I didn’t expect you to really know something.”

Being watched by Ling Long’s clear eyes, Yin Yin felt guilty. She buried her head and stared at her toes. Then she heard Ling Long’s voice above her head, “Miss Yin, my information is not free.”

Yin Yin was stunned for a moment, then raised her head and asked, “How much is this information worth?”

Ling Long said, “You said that this information is enough to make the two great families turn against each other. How much do you think it is worth?”

Yin Yin: “……”

She should have negotiated the price with Ling Long before asking him! Baidu was still cuter; at least it never asked for money!

Yin Yin swallowed her saliva and said, “You can make a price, as long as it is within my tolerance, I will definitely satisfy you.”

A narrow light flashed in Ling Long’s eyes. “Buying my information doesn’t necessarily mean paying it with money. It could be information for information, it could be information for goods, or it could also be making use of people.”

“People?” Yin Yin’s psychology clattered down. Ling Long wouldn’t still be a part-time human trafficker, right?

“Although I don’t know how you know my identity, but since you already know it, I have nothing to hide. My real name is Ling Long, and I am the leader of ‘Spiderweb’. This time, I came to Yin Jiazhuang mainly to investigate Du Qianqian.”

Yin Yin’s eyes rolled and asked, “Does Du Qianqian have any questions?”

Before Ling Long spoke, Yin Yin interrupted him again. “Wait! If you want money for this question, you don’t need to answer it.”

Ling Long bowed his head and chuckled lightly. He said, “She is likely to be the missing princess of the Wang Fu.”

“Princess?” Yin Yin gave a stiff smile. “Truly, congratulations to her.”

The previous Yin Yin knew that Du Qianqian was a princess, but she did not tell her. And because of Prince Luo’s request, Ling Long hasn’t had the time to tell Du Qianqian either. Du Qianqian committed suicide by jumping off a cliff under the framing of Yin Yin, so she didn’t know her true origin until she died.

Ling Long looked at Yin Yin and said, “Miss Yin doesn’t seem to be surprised at all.”

Yin Yin immediately made a surprised expression. “Princess?! She is actually a princess? Oh my goodness!”

Ling Long: “……”

Ling Long secretly adjusted his breathing, and then said, “I’m going to find the person who took away the little princess. Only he knows if Du Qianqian was really the baby girl back then.”

Yin Yin knew the person who took Du Qianqian. That man was the number one master of martial arts at that time. He and Prince Lou were close childhood friends. His father also gave him a noble name – Renyi (benevolence and righteousness).

It’s just that he had already forgotten his surname Jia.

Jia Renyi has disappeared from the Jianghu (all corners of the country; section of society operating independently of mainstream society, out of reach of the law) since he abducted Du Qianqian. No one knows why he did it.

But some people speculated that he and the princess consort had long been involved with each other. The young princess was actually the daughter of the princess consort and Jia Renyi.

Yin Yin made complaints about this dog blood story in her heart, looked at Ling Long and said, “I wish Young Master Lin all the best – have a pleasant journey.”

Ling Long said casually, “Please go with me, Miss Yin.”

“Why?!”

“It’s free. So why not make use of it?”

Yin Yin: “……”

In <<All for Prosperity>>, Yin Yin indeed goes to find Jia Renyi with Ling Long, but that was only after shamelessly following after him. Just and honourable, the heroine Du Qianqian was accompanied by him.

At that time, on a small dark room, Ling Long had a long conversation with Du Qianqian and felt pity for her. She couldn’t bear to be bullied by Yin Yin again, so he took her by his side.

Now…… who can tell her what this means?

Yin Yin looked at Ling Long and whispered, “Can I refuse?”

“No, you owe me this.”

“……Can you wait until I have settled Fang Li’s matter?” She doesn’t want to be busy again.

Ling Long thought for a while and said, “Yes.”

Yin Yin let out a sigh of relief and asked, “Why didn’t you go directly to Jia Renyi from the beginning?”

Ling Long took a look at her and asked, “Which one do you think is easier to find: a little maid in Yin Jiazhuang or Jia Renyi?”

Yin Yin: “……”

“It’s a pity that Du Qianqian doesn’t have any clue about him, and Lord Yin doesn’t remember the events of that year clearly, so we had to go to Jia Renyi in the end.” Speaking of this, Ling Long’s eyes lightly swept on Yin Yin. “But it’s you who seems to know a lot.”

“I don’t know anything!” Yin Yin immediately swore to the heavens.

Ling Long looked at her a few times, but did not speak. According to his observations over the past few days, this eldest lady seems to be hiding a lot of secrets, and she has suddenly become smarter. It should be useful to stay around her.

This is the main reason why he had asked Yin Yin to go with him to find Jia Renyi.

Yin Yin also looked at Ling Long a few times before hesitatingly saying, “The last question.”

Ling Long motioned her to ask with his eyes.

“Is Ling Long your real name?”

This is the question that Yin Yin wanted to know very much when she was reading <<All for Prosperity>> – Why doesn’t Ling Long sound like his real name?

Ling Long’s eyes flickered, and said, “This information is very expensive.”

Yin Yin’s face twitched. “……then you must not answer.”

A smile flashed in Ling Long’s eyes. He softly said, “No.”

Yin Yin immediately covered her ears. “I didn’t hear it. I didn’t hear anything!”

The smile in Ling Long’s eyes gradually deepened. Du Qianqian, who had just walked over, frowned as she looked at the smile still remaining in his eyes.

She had been reborn, but she still doesn’t know who Ling Long really was.

His personality is extremely indifferent. It seems that nothing can arouse his interest, and he always had an attitude of staying away from everything around him.

But Du Qianqian believed that she could definitely let Ling Long’s emotions change only for her. There was no time in the previous life. In this life, Du Qianqian tried her best to please Ling Long, but now he showed this kind of look because of Yin Yin.

Du Qianqian’s hand was tightly clenched into a fist, and her nails were deeply embedded in the flesh. She took a deep breath, and walked forward with a smile, “Eldest Miss, Young Master Lin, the Master is inviting you to come over for dinner.”

Hearing the word ‘dinner’, Yin Yin’s stomach cooperatively made a growling sound.

Yin Yin was a little embarrassed. Ling Long suddenly said, “Miss Du’s cooking skill is truly unique.”

Du Qianqian smiled sweetly. “If Young Master Lin likes it, Qianqian will make it for you every day.”

Yin Yin was stunned for a moment. Holy shit! Is this a proposal? Girl, how about being reserved!?

Ling Long didn’t have much reaction. Noncommittally, he followed Du Qianqian into the house.

Yin Yin looked at Ling Long’s snow-white background and was suddenly stunned.

She finally remembered what was wrong.

On that day when she accidentally soiled Ji Ting’s clothes, she was wearing a white coat.

And the one on the sofa, which she retrieved from the dry cleaner, was a maroon coat.
