Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Xia Jiajiao’s Scheme

Given Yun Zijin’s previous track record at Jinsheng Mall, all the men’s clothing stores were eagerly awaiting her arrival today, knowing she planned to buy clothes for the seven bodyguards behind her.

Meanwhile, while Xia Zhiyun and the other two were picking out a formal gown for Xia Jiajiao, they would occasionally check up on Yun Zijin’s movements in Jinsheng Mall.

When Xia Zhiyun heard that Yun Zijin was splurging at Jinsheng Mall just to buy clothes for those bodyguards, he felt a pang of jealousy for some unknown reason.

As her biological brother, he had never even received clothes from Yun Zijin, yet a few bodyguards had.

Moreover, he couldn’t understand it. Yun Zijin didn’t seem like the type to be foolishly lovestruck, so why would any employer be willing to spend hundreds of thousands on clothes for their bodyguards?

"Zhiyun! Zhiyun!"

Zhang Yiqin’s voice pulled Xia Zhiyun back to reality, and only then did he realize his attention had once again been drawn to Yun Zijin.

"Mom, what’s wrong? Did you pick out a gown?"

Xia Zhiyun hadn’t planned on coming out shopping, but he finally agreed after Xia Jiajiao pestered him endlessly.

But now, seeing Xia Jiajiao choosing a gown in the store—carefree, and even a bit willful and spoiled—and then thinking of Yun Zijin buying clothes for other men...

The contrast made Xia Zhiyun’s chest feel tight.

But he couldn’t quite put his finger on why he felt so uncomfortable.

’In his opinion, Yun Zijin had really gone too far. They were her family, after all, but her attitude toward them was terrible. She wasn’t obedient and sensible like Jiao Jiao at all.’

"We’ve picked one. There wasn’t enough time to have one custom-made, so we had them bring out a new design that isn’t on the market yet. I’ve already spoken with them. After they sell Jiao Jiao’s chosen gown to us, they can’t sell another one. Anything our Jiao Jiao likes has to be one-of-a-kind in the whole world.

They’re altering it to Jiao Jiao’s size today, and it will be delivered to the house tomorrow. Make sure you have someone follow up on it."

Zhang Yiqin ordered Xia Zhiyun around as if it were a matter of course.

"I know, Mom. But..."

"What is it now?"

Having chosen the gown, Zhang Yiqin was planning to take Xia Jiajiao to buy some jewelry to match, so she sounded a little impatient.

"Aren’t you going to help pick out a gown for Yun Zijin?"

Xia Zhiyun thought that since this was Yun Zijin’s first banquet, she probably didn’t know much about formal gowns, so he wanted Zhang Yiqin to help her out.

’Even if she couldn’t be as devoted to Yun Zijin as she was to Xia Jiajiao, Yun Zijin was still her biological daughter. She couldn’t just completely ignore her, could she?’

"Doesn’t she dislike me? She definitely won’t like anything I pick out. I’d rather not set myself up for a cold shoulder.

There are a few more over there. Just grab one in her size. It’s not like she knows the difference anyway."

Zhang Yiqin pointed to a few gowns hanging in a corner of the shop. Just from their placement, it was obvious they were unpopular items that wouldn’t cost more than 200,000 at most.

The one for Xia Jiajiao just now had cost over a million, even after the membership discount.

Xia Zhiyun looked at Zhang Yiqin, and he thought he was starting to understand why Yun Zijin didn’t want to return to the Xia Family.

’If he were in Yun Zijin’s shoes, he might have been even more ruthless and gone even further than she had.’

Xia Zhiyun didn’t say anything else and silently followed behind Zhang Yiqin and Xia Jiajiao.

However, it wasn’t long before his assistant called him. There was a matter at the company that required his attention.

"Mom, something’s come up at the company, so I’m heading back. I’ll cover your and Jiao Jiao’s expenses today. Just have them put everything on my account."
