"The Xia Family has a real estate company too. They say you should keep it in the family. If you want to rent out your properties, it would be safer to let our own company handle it, wouldn’t it?"
Zhang Yiqin said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world, not even considering whether Yun Zijin was willing to do so.
"Heh! On the contrary, I think leaving it to you would be the real cause for concern.
Manager Wang, if there are no problems with the contract, let’s sign it. You’re the district’s property management, so you know our community better than any other company. I’d feel much more at ease entrusting the rental of my properties to you."
Worried that Wang Zhongxin might have some lingering doubts, Yun Zijin turned to put his mind at ease.
With Yun Zijin’s words, Wang Zhongxin was greatly relieved. He happily signed his name at the end of the contract, pressed his thumbprint, and affixed the property management company’s official seal.
Yun Zijin also picked up the pen, ready to sign her name.
"No! I told you, you can’t sign it!"
Zhang Yiqin snatched the pen from Yun Zijin’s hand and even tried to grab the contract that Wang Zhongxin had already signed. Luckily, Wang Zhongxin was quick, snatching the contract away and clutching it to his chest.
"Zero One!"
Yun Zijin called for her bodyguard. Zero One quickly ran in from the office doorway and instantly restrained Zhang Yiqin.
"Who are you! Let go of my mother! Sister, how could you treat Mom like this!"
Although Xia Jiajiao feigned concern for Zhang Yiqin and chided Yun Zijin, she was secretly thrilled. ’What a fool.’
’The more brazenly Yun Zijin acts, the more Mom will dislike her. That means the title of the Xia family’s eldest daughter can only be mine!’
So she just paid lip service, taking no real action.
Yun Zijin ignored them, quickly signed her name on the contract, and pressed her thumbprint.
"There. The contract is in triplicate. We each get a copy, and I’ll take the third one to Hengchuang Law Firm tomorrow to be filed."
After the contract was signed, Zero One released Zhang Yiqin, but he remained by Yun Zijin’s side, guarding her in case Zhang Yiqin had another outburst.
Zhang Yiqin knew that with the bodyguard present, she couldn’t lay a finger on Yun Zijin, so she had no choice but to drop it.
Yun Zijin pushed one copy of the contract in front of Wang Zhongxin.
Looking at the signed contract, Wang Zhongxin was still in a daze.
’So this is what it feels like to be hit by a windfall of epic proportions?’
’This feels incredible!’
He could almost see money flowing toward him—a rushing, endless river of it!
"Yun Zijin! You actually signed the contract! You ungrateful wretch! I should have strangled you when you were born!"
’That damn girl Yun Zijin just handed the prime rental business for Jade Lake District over to an outsider. Does she have any respect for me, her mother?! Does she have any respect for the Xia Family?!’
"I was switched at birth. If you had tried to strangle someone then, you would have accidentally hurt the wrong person, wouldn’t you?"
As Yun Zijin spoke, she glanced at Xia Jiajiao.
A chill ran down Xia Jiajiao’s spine, and for a moment, the look in her eyes as she gazed at Zhang Yiqin was one of fear.
Evidently, Yun Zijin’s seemingly casual remark had left an indelible mark on Xia Jiajiao’s heart—faint, yet stubborn.
"Jiao Jiao, I wasn’t talking about strangling you, I meant strangling *her*! You know how Mom treats you, don’t you?"
Zhang Yiqin also realized that what she had said was inappropriate and quickly tried to explain herself to Xia Jiajiao.
"Mom, I know. You’ve always been very good to me. Please don’t blame Sister, she didn’t do it on purpose..."
"What do you mean, not on purpose? I think she did it deliberately! We won’t be renting this place anymore. Mom will find you something better! We’ll buy it outright, so you can live there whenever you want!
Some people, I’m afraid, don’t realize what they’ve lost because of a moment of willfulness!"
Yun Zijin: ...
