325 One Less Sister

“I just want to get to know the fifth young master. I’ve been wanting to get to know you since I met you at your house last time.”

“It’s not like I’m in charge of the family. My mother was only an adopted daughter of the old master. I don’t think it’s beneficial to know me.” Qiao Yue replied coldly.

Yin He nodded. He wasn’t angry and asked with a smile, “Did you like that dress?”

Qiao Yue knew that Yin He was referring to that antique dress. “I’m a boy. I don’t like things that only girls like.”

“Fifth young master can also buy it and give it to your sweetheart. You don’t have to wear it yourself.”

Qiao Yue felt a little annoyed when she heard this. “If Mr. Yin only wants to chit chat, I don’t think there’s any need for us to continue talking.” Qiao Yue pretended to leave.

“I’d like to give the dress to fifth young master Qiao as a gift, for being friends with me.”

Qiao Yue felt that this person was either too bored or too cunning.

“What is your purpose?” Qiao Yue asked. “You want to be friends with me? I don’t like that dress, so I don’t know why you want to give it to me.”

“Did you know that the nobles in the Middle Ages wouldn’t take off their dresses even when they went to the toilet?” Yin He said with a smile. “And there were no toilets in Europe at that time, so many nobles just urinated and defecated on the ground.”

“So, I was thinking that under those gorgeous dresses would be the best place to hide dirt and filth.” Yin He said with a smile.

Qiao Yue agreed with him, but she did not know what he was trying to say. “What are you trying to say? That you know about evidence of the crimes of the Qiao family, or you think that the Qiao family is hiding filth?”

Yin He laughed. “I’m just telling a story. I respect the Qiao family very much, and which prestigious family doesn’t have a little stain on their reputation? It’s just that some things have yet to surface.”

He turned to Qiao Yue and smiled. “You don’t have to overthink it. I just want to be friends with you.”

Qiao Yue was confused by Yin He’s words. She just nodded and said, “If there’s nothing else, Mr. Yin, you can go first. I need to think about whether I want to be friends with you.”

Yin He smiled. “Sure. I’ve always envied the Qiao family for having so many siblings. I’ve always wanted a younger sister. If my younger sister is like the fifth young master… That’s even better.”

Qiao Yue walked into Chu Jia’s office with a cold face.

Chu Jia noticed her odd expression and asked, “What’s the matter, boss? Weren’t you just outside with the young master from the Yin family? Why did you come back with such a long face?”

“This Yin He is ridiculous; he insisted on giving me the dress.” Qiao Yue said plainly.

Chu Jia and the people at Yayi didn’t know her true gender, and she did not want to explain it to them.

“Maybe he just wants to add it to your collection. It’s not a big deal.” Chu Jia smiled and added, “This Mr. Yin is engaged. He’s not gay. Don’t worry, boss.”

“Engaged?” Qiao Yue asked.

“Actually, young master Yin’s surname was not Yin. He was a child from a fallen noble family in J-Country. The Yin family in K-Country, who was from C-Country, were on good terms with aristocrats of J-Country. So, they adopted the child and arranged a marriage between him and the youngest granddaughter of the Yin family. However, the family head at that time, Yin Xun, had left with his entire family and never returned, so Yin He had now become the person in charge of the Yin family. Yin He changed his surname to Yin because he was afraid of being ridiculed by the other family members. Furthermore, he had undergone multiple plastic surgeries to make himself look more like a member of the Yin family.”

Recalling the unnatural smile on Yin He’s face, Qiao Yue put two and two together.

“Not a member of the Yin family but have to deal with the Yin family mess. He had to make some big sacrifices.” Qiao Yue commented.

“That’s basically it. Did you come to me this time to investigate Yin He?”

Qiao Yue shook her head and took out the pen from her bag and held it in front of Chu Jia. “Have you found out anything about this?”

“The pen made by this code name isn’t in the inventory, so I haven’t.”
