Rich Parents Found Me After I Got a Tycoon System? Yeah, I'm Not Interested novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254: Chapter 254: Sending Xia Jiajiao to a Marriage Alliance?

Yan Shutang raised an eyebrow at Mei Lin’s words.

But she had a point. After all, how could Mr. Tang’s lab possibly be protected by just a simple security system?

"That’s one way to do it, but... are you certain your security system is the absolute best?"

The model Mei Lin presented today was certainly difficult to breach, but it wasn’t impossible if one was persistent enough.

"If you’re concerned about it not meeting other standards, I can list some parameters. You could then apply my security system elsewhere for a practical field test."

A security system, in essence, is a central control unit. There are countless lines of defense you can add to it.

That was a viable method, but the question of where to conduct this field test was still up for debate.

Yan Shutang mulled it over for a while before finally agreeing to Mei Lin’s proposal.

It was a decent way to test the system, and certainly much easier than him having to go around asking to borrow places for testing.

"Now that we’ve reached a consensus, when can construction on the lab begin?"

Yan Shutang knew Mr. Tang had been waiting a long time to begin his experiments.

"Soon."

’As long as the Xia family falls, the land will naturally become hers.’

Yan Shutang glanced at Yun Zijin. He knew exactly what her "soon" was referring to.

Ever since Tang Zhaosong reported the matter, Yun Zijin’s complete file had been delivered to him.

Yun Zijin may have looked young, but Yan Shutang had a feeling that in this game, the Xia family stood no chance of fighting back against her.

"Then I’ll await Miss Yun’s good news."

Now that he had confirmed Mei Lin’s security system was up to standard, Yan Shutang had nothing more to say.

Yun Zijin smiled faintly. "Thank you."

「Meanwhile, at the Xia family residence.」

"Cry, cry, cry! Is that all you know how to do?!"

"Honey, our Jiao Jiao is still so young! She’s still in school! How could you... How could you send her off to an arranged marriage!"

Zhang Yiqin couldn’t believe Xia Zhengguang was truly so heartless. Since he couldn’t get his hands on Yun Zijin, he was going to send their Jiao Jiao away instead.

"I’ve fed her and clothed her, raised her all these years, and she’s not even my biological daughter. It’s not too much to ask for something in return now, is it?"

For the sake of the Xia Corporation, Xia Zhengguang had become somewhat unhinged.

Calls from the bank demanding payment came daily. Because of his record of late payments, he couldn’t even get a loan from other banks to rob Peter to pay Paul.

Yun Zijin had bodyguards with her 24/7; he couldn’t kidnap her even if he wanted to.

His own son had gone to ask her personally and failed to bring her back. What else could he do?

As it happened, someone had come to him asking for Xia Jiajiao’s hand in marriage. If he married her off, he would receive a substantial bride price.

This bride price would be enough to fill the financial hole the Xia Corporation was in.

"What are you talking about? You watched Jiao Jiao grow up! How can you be so heartless!"

Zhang Yiqin genuinely doted on Xia Jiajiao. The woman who was usually completely submissive to Xia Zhengguang now actually dared to shout at him.

Xia Jiajiao was touched for a moment by Zhang Yiqin’s defense, but the feeling quickly vanished. She was filled with hate—hate that while Zhang Yiqin might dare to challenge Xia Zhengguang, he was still the one who made the final decision.

Sitting beside Xia Zhengguang, Xia Zhiyun remained silent the entire time, his lips pressed into a thin line.
