Rich Parents Found Me After I Got a Tycoon System? Yeah, I'm Not Interested novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Xia Zhengguang’s Ruthlessness

"Cry, cry, cry! All you do all day is cry! If you have the energy for that, why don’t you use it to figure out how to get that damn girl to come home?

And another thing, if that damn girl doesn’t come home, then Jiao Jiao... you’ll be the one in the marriage alliance!"

Xia Zhengguang had been irritable lately because of company matters. He was already annoyed after Yun Zijin hung up on him, so when Xia Jiajiao put on a face like she was about to cry, his temper instantly exploded.

Xia Jiajiao, however, was so frightened by Xia Zhengguang’s words that she started hiccupping. "Dad—hic... Dad—hic... I—hic... I don’t—hic... want to be in a marriage alliance—hic..."

"If you don’t want the marriage alliance, then figure out a way to get Yun Zijin home! I don’t care what method you use, I just want her back in this house!"

’He’d already picked out the company for the alliance. As long as Yun Zijin took the bait, they’d make sure the situation was irreversible. Even if she didn’t want to get married, she would be forced to!’

It had to be said, Xia Zhengguang was a truly ruthless man, willing to sacrifice his own daughter for the sake of his company.

Xia Zhiyun remained silent the entire time. As her older brother, he couldn’t bear to see this happen, but the Xia Group was the foundation of the Xia Family’s standing in Dijing. He couldn’t just watch the Xia Group fall into trouble.

’When the time comes, I’ll keep an eye on things and find her a decent family. That would be doing right by her, I suppose.’

"Mommy..."

Xia Jiajiao really didn’t want the marriage alliance, but she had been terrified by Xia Zhengguang’s vicious expression.

Her brother hadn’t said a word from beginning to end, which meant he tacitly approved of the plan. The only person she could turn to for help was her mother.

"It’s alright. Didn’t your father say? As long as Yun Zijin returns to the Xia family, we’ll make her go through with the marriage alliance. Mommy will help you."

Zhang Yiqin patted Xia Jiajiao’s back, soothing her as she spoke words of comfort.

Xingyu Mansion, Villa No. 1.

Unaware of the Xia family’s sordid intentions, Yun Zijin was currently wrestling with a large lobster.

The kitchen had prepared a large steamed lobster today, and Yun Zijin’s eyes lit up when it was served.

But she couldn’t crack it open herself, so she asked one of the young maids for help.

By the time Yun Zijin finished eating, the sky outside had completely darkened.

Before Yun Zijin returned to her room, Wang Minli stepped forward.

"Miss, Mr. Lin Yan had someone deliver an invitation today. I’ve placed it on the desk in the study for you."

Hearing Lin Yan’s name, Yun Zijin raised an eyebrow.

"What invitation?"

"I think it was for some kind of conference. I didn’t look at it closely."

’A conference?’

"Alright, I understand."

Yun Zijin had originally planned to return to her room to wash up, but she changed course and headed for the study instead.

The invitation was simple in appearance: a purple velvet cover with golden, auspicious cloud patterns at the four corners.

Yun Zijin opened it.

National Scientific Research Summit

Surprisingly, the conference was scheduled for the day after tomorrow, the last day of the National Day holiday.

However, the conference was during the daytime, and the schedule looked rather packed.

’But for a scientific research conference, why would Lin Yan send an invitation to her?’

Yun Zijin checked the time. It was 8:30 PM, still early.

So she took out her phone and called Lin Yan.

The call connected not long after, and someone picked up.

"Hello?"

’Huh? It’s a woman’s voice?’

"Um... I’m looking for Mr. Lin Yan. Is this his phone?"

This was the first time Yun Zijin had taken the initiative to call Lin Yan, so hearing a woman’s voice made her think she’d dialed the wrong number.

"Ah, looking for my husband? He’s home. Please wait a moment."

The person on the other end must have moved the phone away from her mouth, as Yun Zijin then heard her call out, "Honey!"
