Chapter Fifty: Four Seasons Manor III (2/2)

That incident could be considered one of the most scandalous problems that Yan Jin had ever faced in his life and the outcome was very severe. Putting it straightforwardly, Yan Jin did not have any choice but to consciously decrease his outdoor activities, retract his claws, and hide his strength while biding his time to divert those vile villains’ attention.

In the opinion of a clueless person (hamster) like Xiao Yu, Yan Jin had set his heart on YL which caused the chairman to even coop himself up at home on the weekends just to finish his work matters like any self-restrained and gloomy workaholic.

Initially, Yan Jin was prepared to cancel his trip to the Four Seasons Manor this year – this trip was an exception because of Xiao Yu.

“What’s wrong?” Yan Jin picked up the melon seed and passed it to Xiao Yu: “Why are you spacing out? You even dropped your melon seed.”

Xiao Yu hatefully snatched the melon seed and threw it into his mouth, munching away with his bulging cheeks.

Hn, I will not admit that I was enticed by Yan Jin’s charm.

However, Xiao Yu couldn’t seem to get used to this side of Yan Jin – even though such a lavish lifestyle was indeed more suitable for Yan Jin’s rumored net worth.

That being said, Xiao Yu was very clear that this manor was not simply attainable with just a person’s wealth. Xiao Yu had only seen the items that were in the manor on those appraisal programs. The rosewood and agar-wood furniture, the glazed-colored flower vase that had beautiful flowers in them, and also the ivory chopsticks and bowls made of rhinoceros horn from when Yan Jin was having his meal, which had no trace of cracks – all those objects manifested the background that could not be estimated with just money and status.

That was surely unexplainable by a mere title of second or third generation.

As for Yan Jin’s real identity and family background, to be honest, Xiao Yu really didn’t understand.

When Xiao Yu was still human, in his shallow cognition, the Yan family simply equated to YL Corporation. It wasn’t because Xiao Yu did not care about such matters as he focused all of his attention onto his career instead. It was mostly because of the Yan family itself. It was true that the Yan family seldom showed themselves to the national public. Putting aside the fact that most of their properties were overseas, they even had businesses in the grey areas. YL was an exception that they had on the surface along with some other unknown businesses.

Such a low-profile super-aristocratic family was obviously not in Xiao Yu’s cognitive periphery. Compared to the Yan family, he knew more about the Nan family who were the leader in the fashion industry. Even if their mainstream business wasn’t in the jewelry trade, that super beauty heiress with an extremely high exposure rate caused the Nan family to appear in the industry’s limelight. According to Xiao Yu’s understanding, SI had attempted several times to work with the Nan family, but had not been successful to date.

After Lin Zhou implied that the Yan family was where Yan Jin came from, Xiao Yu specially investigated the matter, but due to lack of networking, he was only left with the unreliable Internet. Under the circumstances of not knowing any key words nor the Yan family’s history, it was indeed hard to find any useful information. The best he could find were those interesting rumors, and even so, those hearsay only revolved around Yan Jin.

For example, YL’s Chairman and xx actress’ late night meetups – Note: the photos were those super blurry types.

The Xiao Yu back then was one of those onlookers who would let his imagination run wild, coming up with some big shot grievances drama. But at this moment, he clearly understood that Yan Jin’s ex was a man and he wasn’t even sure if it was possible for Yan Jin to be interested in women.

……

Staying in the manor for a few days allowed Xiao Yu to have an extremely deep understanding on how an Emperor would live.

The extravagant interior within the Four Seasons Manor had resolutely changed Xiao Yu’s previous worldview. Following that, the helpers’ attitude flipped his worldview once again.

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Yu was tied around Yan Jin’s waistband as the chairman went around. However, Yan Jin would also occasionally leave the hamster to be taken care of by the helpers.

Such things were not a problem of course, but Xiao Yu never would have thought that those helpers would not treat him like any normal pet.

There was one time when Yan Jin had gone out to answer a call and left Xiao Yu inside the room, as the little one laid on the table thinking about his hamster life.

Then, a person silently approached…

That person placed a dish of peanuts on the table. Xiao Yu had seen that person before – Yan Jin had addressed him as the butler, so he should be considered the person who was in charge of the helpers.

Xiao Yu happily jumped into the dish of peanuts and rolled in it. Under Yan Jin’s supervision, it had been a long time since the hamster had eaten snacks without any restraint. Xiao Yu never thought that he would have a chance to take advantage of this loophole here.

However, before Xiao Yu could even start to gorge himself, he was gently swept aside by Mr. Butler.

“My apologies. Young master mentioned before that you may only eat three pieces a day.”

Xiao Yu: ……

“Would you like some water?” Mr. Butler titled the cup slightly, making it convenient for Xiao Yu to move his head into the glass to drink.

Xiao Yu suppressed his inner horror as he shook his head.

“As you wish. Do inform me if there’s any way I can be of assistance.” Mr. Butler bowed perfectly at a thirty-degree angle and shifted to stand behind Xiao Yu.

“S-Squeak.” Xiao Yu attempted to call out quietly.

“May I help you?”

“…… Squeak!”

Xiao Yu shook his head violently.

For that entire day, Xiao Yu refused to comply with any of Yan Jin’s teasing and even vengefully bit on Yan Jin’s finger – not the blood-tearing bite of course.

Yan Jin sulkily withdrew his finger and began to recall when did he offend this little ancestor of his.

Little did he know that Xiao Yu was just taking revenge on behalf of his limited imagination due to poverty.
