Yina Yin froze mid-movement, turned to Cherry Miller, and asked seriously, "Are you really planning to dump my brother?"
Cherry Miller lowered her gaze and said, "Yina, that's a bit harsh. I was never officially with Mr. Yin, so there's nothing to dump. Besides, Mr. Yin is the eldest son of the Yin Family, and I'm just an assistant. If anyone's doing the dumping, it's me dumping myself."
"Don't give me that." Yina Yin grabbed Cherry Miller's hand and said seriously, "You know I've never treated you like an outsider. We grew up together, and you always looked out for me. My brother may seem careless, but he's never messed around when it comes to feelings. Of course, if you really think you two aren't right for each other, I won't force you. I just hope, Cherry, if you're ever in a tough spot and have to break up with my brother, you have to tell me!"
"No, really, no." Cherry Miller couldn't meet Yina Yin's eyes and quickly said, "I've been away for years, barely seeing Mr. Yin, so I never thought about romance. Now that Mr. Yin's back to take over the family, there'll be plenty of heiresses for him to choose from. I can't be selfish and waste his time."
"So you're saying you really don't have any feelings for my brother anymore?" Yina Yin pressed again.
Cherry Miller bit her lip and said, "Yes, it's my fault. Yina, I'm sorry!"
Alright, don't apologize. Feelings can't be forced! I've always said, even if my brother's great and handsome, not every woman in the world has to like him, right? What would that be? He's not money, not everyone likes him. Don't be so nervous. I'll explain everything to my brother!" Yina Yin comforted Cherry Miller, "Don't feel any pressure. Whether you're with my brother or not, you're still my best friend. Got it?
"Mm." Cherry Miller finally smiled a little. "Thank you."
Say that again and I'll get mad!" Yina Yin ruffled Cherry Miller's hair on purpose. "If you ever have a guy you like, let me know, I'll check him out for you! My best friend deserves the best man in the world!
"Okay." Cherry Miller let Yina Yin mess with her hair, just smiling.
Yina Yin kept her usual androgynous style—short, stylish hair and a rebellious air.
Standing at 178 cm, she looked almost excessively sunny and handsome.
Especially with petite Cherry Miller by her side, the contrast made Yina look impossibly cool.
On the way, Yina drove while Cherry Miller sat in the passenger seat of a bright red Ferrari.
At the traffic light, people in the distance pulled out their phones to sneak pictures of them.
Not far away, a couple on an electric scooter couldn't help but stare enviously.
Stop looking—you can't sit in that passenger seat no matter how long you stare," the boy on the scooter said to his girlfriend. "If we save up for two more years, we can buy a domestic car. Then we won't have to worry about wind and rain."
His girlfriend glanced at Cherry Miller several times, unwilling to give up. "That woman isn't even that pretty! It's all makeup. If I had those products, I'd look great too."
Their voices were so loud, everyone at the intersection heard.
Of course, Yina Yin and Cherry Miller heard too.
Cherry Miller could only rub her forehead helplessly.
Whenever she was with Yina Yin, people always mistook them for a couple. She was grateful that Young Master Gu Miao always believed she was straight as an arrow.
Yina Yin turned and called out to the young man, "Hey, buddy, the reason this beautiful woman gets to sit in my passenger seat isn't just because she's pretty. She's got a master's from UPenn's School of Social Work and holds CPA, CMA, and ACCA certifications. She's also a judo expert with international honors. No ordinary woman rides shotgun with me."
Just as she finished, the light turned green and Yina sped off.
Cherry Miller looked at Yina Yin, exasperated. "Was that really necessary?"
Yina Yin laughed loudly. "I just don’t want people thinking you’re some gold-digger. The world should know how amazing you are."
At the intersection, the young man Yina had teased blushed and asked, "What are CPA, CMA, and ACCA?"
His girlfriend shook her head, "No idea, never heard of them. Probably made up. Who has those anyway?"
Their voices were so loud, everyone at the intersection heard.
A passerby on a Harley stopped and explained, "CPA is China’s Certified Public Accountant, CMA is the American equivalent, and ACCA is Chartered Certified Accountant. In other words, the woman in the passenger seat is a top financial talent—basically CFO material for any company."
C... CFO? Is that an alien? A UFO?" the young man asked again.
Other passersby shook their heads and warned their kids, "If you don't study hard, this is what happens."
The young man on the scooter blushed and stayed silent. When everyone left, he grumbled, "Hmph, just another rich kid showing off! If I had that kind of background, I could too!"
The girl on the scooter fell into deep thought.
She gazed at the distant Ferrari, lost in thought.
Her boyfriend only went to trade school. He probably didn’t know that UPenn wasn’t some shady college but a world-class university.
Graduating from that school takes more than just money.
If I study hard, could I become someone like that girl too?
She secretly decided that with her next paycheck, she’d buy textbooks and sign up for adult education.
She wanted to live with dignity, just like the girl in the passenger seat.
She could skip buying a car, but she absolutely couldn’t skip studying!
They finally arrived at the banquet venue—a private villa prepared by the Mo Family for Leo and Theo Mo.
By then, the parking lot at the entrance was already full of cars.
Cherry Miller got out of the car and saw identical twins racing over. "Nuo-ge!"
Yina Yin tossed her short hair coolly. "Nice job, you two! Glad you got everyone together."
Mo Yu smiled, "It’s not just us—some close friends from college are here too. Everyone thinks it’s more comfortable at home. Some will study for their master’s or PhD here, some already took over family businesses!"
Great, the more the merrier.' Yina Yin playfully punched Mo Yu’s chest. 'You’re way tougher than you were as a kid!
Mo Shuo couldn’t help but say, "Nuo-ge, we can’t compare with you! You’ve got a championship belt!"
Mo Shuo turned to Cherry Miller, "Sister Cherry, I heard you’re not leaving again now that you’re back? That’s awesome! We can hang out together again!"
Yes, I’m staying by Yina’s side now, not going anywhere," Cherry Miller smiled. "I’ve finished all the training I needed, and our Saint Diana Academy is just as good. Staying in China is fine.
Why are you all talking at the door?' Jing Shaohuai shouted from afar. 'Come inside, everyone!
Yina Yin waved at Jing Shaohuai. "Shaohuai, where are the others?"
Jing Shaohuai ran over. "Shang Xiaojin is still dragging his feet on the road, Yu Han and Gu Miao said they’ll be here soon. Yin Yuzhen said he’d pick up Yun Shuang and Yun Chen to come together—they’re all in college, so they’ll come after class."
As they were talking, another car arrived in the distance.
It was none other than the three people Jing Shaohuai had just mentioned.
Sis! Yin Yuzhen was nineteen this year. Growing up in the shadow of his accomplished cousins, he seemed ordinary.
Maybe his father, Yin Siyao, didn’t want him to stand out, so Yin Yuzhen always kept a low profile.
Still, the Yin Family’s children were always striking.
Yin Yuzhen was no exception—a very handsome young man.
Sis! Yun Shuang, usually serious and reserved, actually smiled when she saw Yina Yin.
Sis, brothers, we’re here! The twin brother Jiang Yunchen waved. 'I missed you guys so much!'
Yina Yin walked over and patted her three younger siblings on the head.
Now, among the current generation of the Yin Family, only these three were still in college. The others had moved on to higher education.
