Since Lu Yunque couldn’t see her, Yun Zijin secretly rolled her eyes. ’He just had to emphasize that, too. So childish.’
"I’m not talking to you anymore. My friend is still waiting for me. We can talk about the shares later."
’Anyway, she wasn’t the one in a hurry right now, the Xia Family was.’
’Or Mr. Tang’s team. They must be pretty anxious, too.’
’But the land was just sitting there. Until she got it, they couldn’t break ground.’
"I’ll handle the shares. I’ll make sure you get what you want."
The Lu Family was a behemoth compared to the Xia family. As long as Lu Yunque gave the word, the Xia Family’s situation would only become more precarious.
’That way, there’s no way the Xia father and son duo could sit still.’
To prevent the Xia family’s company from being declared bankrupt, they would have to sell the shares in their hands, whether they wanted to or not.
The hole was so massive that even if they sold off all their real estate, they still couldn’t fill it.
’But... by the time they finish selling the shares, they’ll learn the meaning of true regret.’
"If you can help, that would be for the best, of course. I’ll come to the Lu Family’s company tomorrow to have you sign for the shares."
Yun Zijin was more than happy to have the help. She wasn’t the type to be overly sentimental and think that letting her boyfriend help her was some kind of embarrassing thing to do.
As for Lu Yunque, when he heard Yun Zijin was coming to the company tomorrow, he couldn’t suppress the smile on his face, selectively ignoring the fact that she was only visiting the Lu Family’s company for the shares.
"Okay, I’ll be waiting for you tomorrow."
"Alright, I’m hanging up now. Tongtong has been waiting for me for a long time."
"Mm."
"Good night!"
"Good night."
After saying their final good nights, Yun Zijin hung up the phone, but Lu Yunque was left wanting more.
When Yun Zijin walked back from the balcony, she was greeted by Qin Sitong’s teasing smile.
"Ooh~ That was a long call!"
Yun Zijin shot Qin Sitong a look. ’You’d better tone it down. Otherwise, when you get a boyfriend, what goes around comes around.’
"Alright, alright, I’ll stop."
About half an hour later, Aunt Wang came to call the two of them for dinner.

「The Xia Residence.」
"Mom! What on earth are you doing, pacing back and forth? You’re making me dizzy!"
When Xia Zhiyun came home from work, he saw his mother pacing in the living room. She had barely taken a few bites of dinner before saying she was full.
After claiming she was full, she resumed her pacing in the living room. He was already overwhelmed at the office, and now he couldn’t even get any peace at home. Xia Zhiyun’s tone was a bit harsh.
"I’m trying to figure something out for Jiao Jiao, of course! You and your father are about to send Jiao Jiao off into an arranged marriage, but I’m not allowed to think of a solution myself?"
’Anyway, if someone has to be married off, it absolutely cannot be her Jiao Jiao!’
On this matter, Zhang Yiqin showed a rare display of the strength that comes with being a mother.
However, by using the sacrifice of another as a bargaining chip, she was no saint herself.
When he heard Zhang Yiqin mention the arranged marriage, Xia Zhiyun fell silent. On this matter, he and his father were indeed in the wrong.
But seeing his mother and sister growing estranged from them because of this, Xia Zhiyun felt a pang of misery.
"Mom, we were forced into it."
’If only Yun Zijin had been willing to buy that piece of land, they wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.’
"You were forced into it, so you have to sacrifice your sister’s happiness? How could you be so heartless! Anyway, I don’t care. I will absolutely never agree to this."
Now when Zhang Yiqin looked at her son, she found his face detestable.
’Just for a little money, they would sacrifice Jiao Jiao’s happiness. They’re simply heartless!’
