Yun Zijin didn’t care in the slightest how Xia Zhengguang would feel about what she said.
You reap what you sow. Whatever Xia Zhengguang was going through today was the retribution he deserved.
If he hadn’t tried to force her into a marriage alliance back then, Yun Zijin wouldn’t have been so ruthless.
"Are you really this heartless? Even if you’re unhappy with me, what about Zhiyun? He’s your brother, and he’s taken good care of you recently. Are you going to abandon him too?"
Hearing Xia Zhengguang claim that Xia Zhiyun had been taking good care of her recently left Yun Zijin utterly bewildered.
’Xia Zhiyun took good care of me? Is there something wrong with Xia Zhengguang’s brain?’
"You... maybe you should go to the hospital and get your head checked. If you can’t afford the medical bills... well, maybe you should reflect on whether you’re not working hard enough."
With that, Yun Zijin hung up the phone.
Every single one of them seemed to think she should be overjoyed and eternally grateful to be their family. ’Where do they get the nerve,’ she wondered.
Having just taken two calls from people she despised, Yun Zijin was in a bad mood.
She stood up, went straight to the kitchen, found all the necessary ingredients, and made herself a cup of Wangyou Milk Tea.
Besides the Wangyou Milk Tea, Yun Zijin also grabbed several "happy candies" and started eating them.
After a long while, Yun Zijin finally managed to soothe the frustration pent up in her chest.
"It seems I can’t just answer random calls anymore. Only two calls, and I’m already this worked up. It’s really not worth it."
Yun Zijin sat on the sofa, muttering to herself.
After finishing the Wangyou Milk Tea, Yun Zijin unknowingly started to feel sleepy. She staggered back to her room, climbed into bed, and fell asleep.

At 2 p.m., Yun Zijin’s internal clock woke her up right on time. After a quick wash-up, she left her room.
As she came out, she saw Lu Yunque sitting in the living room, and for a moment, her mind went blank.
But she quickly remembered that Lu Yunque had just returned to the country, and she was the one who had brought him back.
"You’re awake?"
As soon as she said it, Yun Zijin realized she had asked a stupid question.
’If he wasn’t awake, how could he be sitting in the living room?’
"Um... Oh, right. Yan Shutang called me earlier. He said he wants the Fire Tree and Ice Tree seeds."
"What are your plans for them?"
After Lu Yunque had taken the seeds, there had been no news for so long that if Yan Shutang hadn’t suddenly called, Yun Zijin would have almost forgotten about the matter.
"Soon. The auction is already in the planning stages. If you have people who want them, I’ll give you the auction invitations, and you can send them to your friends."
The grown Ice Trees and Fire Trees were too peculiar-looking. Of course, Lu Yunque couldn’t sell them on the cheap; putting them up for auction was the best option.
This would not only introduce the Ice Tree and Fire Tree to the public but also create an air of mystery, which could drive the price up.
"An auction? How many are you planning to sell?"
Putting them up for auction meant they were going for the "rare and valuable" angle.
’I wonder if Lu Yunque would think I’m too small-minded if he knew my original plan was to plant them as landscaping at Jade Lake.’
’But the thought of having a warm path in winter and a cool path in summer...’
Yun Zijin thought that could turn Jade Lake into an internet-famous neighborhood.
However, Yun Zijin hadn’t yet implemented her landscaping plan. Knowing that Lu Yunque was putting them up for auction, she dismissed the idea.
There would only be one or two plants at the auction, but she had enough to create an entire green belt. That would be a blatant slap in the face to Lu Yunque. No matter how willful she was, she wouldn’t do that.
"Since we’re free today, do you want to come back to the old mansion with me? Grandpa and Grandma both miss you."
