Rich Parents Found Me After I Got a Tycoon System? Yeah, I'm Not Interested novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Encountering Xia Jiajiao at the Art Exhibition

However, no matter what they speculated, it was none of Yun Zijin’s concern.

After Zero One and his team escorted her into the car, they immediately drove away from Yungong No. 1.

Before long, they arrived at the gallery hosting the art exhibition they were attending that day.

"Please present your tickets."

When Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong arrived at the gallery entrance, they were stopped by staff who asked for their tickets.

Yun Zijin took two VIP tickets from her purse. These were tickets the gallery had sent to Mei Lin, who then gave them to her.

For an art exhibition like this, in addition to the tickets sold to the public, there were also many complimentary ones.

Mei Lin was gradually making a name for herself in Dijing. Many people might not recognize Yun Zijin, but they would definitely recognize Mei Lin.

This was precisely the effect Yun Zijin wanted.

A staff member took the tickets, scanned them with a phone, and returned them to Yun Zijin after confirming they were valid.

"Please, go right in."

Yun Zijin took the tickets back and handed one to Qin Sitong. Then, the two of them walked inside together.

Zero One and his men didn’t have tickets. However, for Yun Zijin’s safety, they used every trick in the book and successfully blended in with the security, servers, and other staff.

Yun Zijin was aware of this maneuver. As they weren’t disrupting the event’s order, she let them be.

In fact, with Zero One and his team present, the art exhibition’s security would see a quantum leap in quality.

Qin Sitong walked beside Yun Zijin, her eyes scanning the paintings that lined the walls.

She’d never had much exposure to art, so in the end, all she could manage to say was whether a piece was "nice" or "not nice."

Yun Zijin was just as much of an amateur, but she was rich. That fact alone was enough to give her the confidence to be here.

"Sister!"

Yun Zijin had just finished examining a painting, still undecided on whether to buy it, when she heard a grating voice.

Qin Sitong had met Xia Jiajiao before. Hearing that voice, she instinctively glanced at Yun Zijin.

This Xia Jiajiao, the victorious cuckoo who’d stolen the nest, made a point to come and gloat every time she saw Yun Zijin.

It was a mystery what went through the girl’s head. She was rebuffed every time, yet she was relentlessly persistent. Qin Sitong couldn’t fathom where she found such tenacity.

Yun Zijin had no intention of dealing with Xia Jiajiao and turned to leave.

But Xia Jiajiao had come with a purpose today; there was no way she would let Yun Zijin walk away.

Seeing Yun Zijin about to leave, she hurried after her. It was a miracle the stiletto sky-high heels she wore didn’t snap.

"Sister, why are you leaving the moment you see me?"

"Xia Jiajiao, is there something wrong with you? Can’t you see Zijin wants nothing to do with you? Why must you always come over and put on a show?

And let me be blunt, your acting is terrible."

Not wanting Yun Zijin to be misunderstood again, Qin Sitong jumped in with a retort before she could speak.

"Miss, are you my sister’s friend? I think you might have some misunderstanding about me. I’ve always been very fond of my sister."

Xia Jiajiao was unusually composed today. Despite Qin Sitong’s scathing remarks, she showed no sign of anger, instead seizing the opportunity to play the victim.

"Zijin can’t stand you. You’re an imposter, a cuckoo in the nest. How dare you shamelessly squat in her family’s home? You have some nerve."

Qin Sitong’s "imposter, a cuckoo in the nest" remark nearly made Xia Jiajiao drop her act.

But to avoid being sent off into an arranged marriage, Xia Jiajiao forced herself to stomach it.

"It’s all right. Even if Sister doesn’t like me, it’s enough that I like her.

Are you here for the exhibition too, Sister? The host of today’s exhibition and I go way back. Would you like me to make an introduction?"

Xia Jiajiao was all smiles, but to Yun Zijin, it was clear she had just cooked up a new scheme against her.

"Not necessary."
