Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Zhang Yiqin Stops Yun Zijin from Signing the Agency Contract

"The Xia Family has a real estate company too. They say you should keep it in the family. If you want to rent out your properties, it would be safer to let our own company handle it, wouldn’t it?"

Zhang Yiqin said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world, not even considering whether Yun Zijin was willing to do so.

"Heh! On the contrary, I think leaving it to you would be the real cause for concern.

Manager Wang, if there are no problems with the contract, let’s sign it. You’re the district’s property management, so you know our community better than any other company. I’d feel much more at ease entrusting the rental of my properties to you."

Worried that Wang Zhongxin might have some lingering doubts, Yun Zijin turned to put his mind at ease.

With Yun Zijin’s words, Wang Zhongxin was greatly relieved. He happily signed his name at the end of the contract, pressed his thumbprint, and affixed the property management company’s official seal.

Yun Zijin also picked up the pen, ready to sign her name.

"No! I told you, you can’t sign it!"

Zhang Yiqin snatched the pen from Yun Zijin’s hand and even tried to grab the contract that Wang Zhongxin had already signed. Luckily, Wang Zhongxin was quick, snatching the contract away and clutching it to his chest.

"Zero One!"

Yun Zijin called for her bodyguard. Zero One quickly ran in from the office doorway and instantly restrained Zhang Yiqin.

"Who are you! Let go of my mother! Sister, how could you treat Mom like this!"

Although Xia Jiajiao feigned concern for Zhang Yiqin and chided Yun Zijin, she was secretly thrilled. ’What a fool.’

’The more brazenly Yun Zijin acts, the more Mom will dislike her. That means the title of the Xia family’s eldest daughter can only be mine!’

So she just paid lip service, taking no real action.

Yun Zijin ignored them, quickly signed her name on the contract, and pressed her thumbprint.

"There. The contract is in triplicate. We each get a copy, and I’ll take the third one to Hengchuang Law Firm tomorrow to be filed."

After the contract was signed, Zero One released Zhang Yiqin, but he remained by Yun Zijin’s side, guarding her in case Zhang Yiqin had another outburst.

Zhang Yiqin knew that with the bodyguard present, she couldn’t lay a finger on Yun Zijin, so she had no choice but to drop it.

Yun Zijin pushed one copy of the contract in front of Wang Zhongxin.

Looking at the signed contract, Wang Zhongxin was still in a daze.

’So this is what it feels like to be hit by a windfall of epic proportions?’

’This feels incredible!’

He could almost see money flowing toward him—a rushing, endless river of it!

"Yun Zijin! You actually signed the contract! You ungrateful wretch! I should have strangled you when you were born!"

’That damn girl Yun Zijin just handed the prime rental business for Jade Lake District over to an outsider. Does she have any respect for me, her mother?! Does she have any respect for the Xia Family?!’

"I was switched at birth. If you had tried to strangle someone then, you would have accidentally hurt the wrong person, wouldn’t you?"

As Yun Zijin spoke, she glanced at Xia Jiajiao.

A chill ran down Xia Jiajiao’s spine, and for a moment, the look in her eyes as she gazed at Zhang Yiqin was one of fear.

Evidently, Yun Zijin’s seemingly casual remark had left an indelible mark on Xia Jiajiao’s heart—faint, yet stubborn.

"Jiao Jiao, I wasn’t talking about strangling you, I meant strangling *her*! You know how Mom treats you, don’t you?"

Zhang Yiqin also realized that what she had said was inappropriate and quickly tried to explain herself to Xia Jiajiao.

"Mom, I know. You’ve always been very good to me. Please don’t blame Sister, she didn’t do it on purpose..."

"What do you mean, not on purpose? I think she did it deliberately! We won’t be renting this place anymore. Mom will find you something better! We’ll buy it outright, so you can live there whenever you want!

Some people, I’m afraid, don’t realize what they’ve lost because of a moment of willfulness!"

Yun Zijin: ...

’Sometimes, I’m just speechless.’

’A single apartment versus an entire residential complex. What exactly do you think I’m losing here?’

"If you’re not renting, then I’ll have to ask you two to leave. Aren’t you worried you’re disrupting everyone’s work and making a nuisance of yourselves by lingering here?"

After speaking, Yun Zijin gave the two a disgusted look.

Manager Wang sat bolt upright in his seat, staring straight ahead and trying his absolute best to fade into the background.

"What do you mean by that? Are you disgusted with me? You really let that orphanage turn you feral! Is this any way to treat your own biological mother?!"

"I am, actually. You don’t even seem to understand plain language."

’How many times have I told them I’m not going back to the Xia Family? My attitude has always been crystal clear and unwavering, yet they’re still convinced I should be eternally grateful that the Xia Family is letting me rejoin them.’

"You!"

Yun Zijin just stared at her. Zhang Yiqin, who had been about to rebuke her, was suddenly unable to continue. "Jiao Jiao, let’s go! Mom’s going to buy you a house!"

"Don’t let the door hit you on the way out~"

’Buy a house? All my properties were gifts from the System!’

Only after the mother and daughter had left did Wang Zhongxin finally let out a sigh of relief. ’Those two drama queens were really a handful.’

’It’s incredible that Miss Yun could win an argument against both of them by herself. She’s amazing!’

However, looking at Yun Zijin’s indifferent expression, Wang Zhongxin couldn’t stop his gossipy side from flaring to life.

"Miss Yun, are you really the long-lost daughter of the Xia family? Then the one with that lady is..."

Yun Zijin glanced at Wang Zhongxin, and he was too intimidated to continue.

"Do I look like I acknowledge them? In the future, when you encounter anyone from the Xia Family, just treat them like any other client. You don’t need to give them special treatment on my account."

Yun Zijin had absolutely no intention of letting the Xia Family leech off of her.

"Understood!"

Hearing Yun Zijin say this, Wang Zhongxin knew what he had to do.

In short, no special treatment was to be given to any member of the Xia Family.

"Alright, the contract is signed and the troublemakers are gone. I won’t keep you from your work any longer. I’ll be leaving now."

Yun Zijin hadn’t forgotten that she had a three-million spending mission to complete today.

However, when Yun Zijin saw that there were no specific requirements, her mind was suddenly full of possibilities.

Yun Zijin drove out of the Jade Lake District and headed straight for Dijing First People’s Hospital.

Upon arriving at Dijing First People’s Hospital, Yun Zijin had already put on a face mask and sunglasses as she got out of the car, then had Zero One follow by her side.

Entering the hospital, Yun Zijin quickly surveyed the layout, chose a waiting area closest to the payment window, and sat down.

BEEP BEEP BEEP! ’Randomly Spend, can you check the family situations of the people coming to pay? I need to know if they’re deserving of my help.’

’Since it’s a spending mission, spending it on others should count too, right?’

’As long as the money is deducted from the card, it counts as spent, right? It’s not like the money will ever come back to me anyway.’

Adhering to the principle of providing the Host with the highest quality service at all times, this service can be provided. Please be ready to receive the information.

’Got it! Perfect!’

Yun Zijin sat there on a chair directly opposite the payment window. Zero One sat in the seat next to her, his posture ramrod straight, the very picture of a dedicated and responsible bodyguard.

Soon, someone came to the payment window.

A virtual screen that only she could see appeared in front of her, displaying the relevant information prepared for her by Randomly Spend.
