Free Web NovelChapter 192: Chapter 192: Date Trip
Xia Jiajiao’s expression stiffened for a moment. She hadn’t expected Lu Yunfeng to embarrass her in public.
’I haven’t done anything to wrong him, have I? Why does everyone have such a big problem with me?’
"S-Sorry, I didn’t mean it."
Standing beside the sofa where Yun Zijin was seated, Xia Jiajiao’s eyes reddened.
Many onlookers who didn’t know the truth were taken in, and they began to look at Yun Zijin and her friends with disapproval.
However, intimidated by the status of Lu Yunfeng and the others, no one dared to step forward and say anything.
"Sister, Mom has been sick recently. She keeps telling me she misses you. Could you please come home and see her?
I know you don’t like me, Sister. When you come home, I can... I can move out."
Having been rebuffed by Lu Yunfeng, Xia Jiajiao turned her attention back to Yun Zijin.
"Do you even hear yourself right now? Let me think... The Xia Family is having cash flow problems lately, so you conveniently remembered I have money. You want me to go back to the Xia Family and use my money to help you through this crisis?
Let’s see, how much do you want from me? A billion? Two billion? Or three billion? Hmm, it seems it’s even more than that..."
The more Yun Zijin spoke, the redder Xia Jiajiao’s face became.
"Sister, how could you think that? Mom and Dad have never coveted your things."
’In any case, the blood of the Xia Family flows in Yun Zijin’s veins, so doesn’t that mean everything she has belongs to the Xia Family?’
’Once they trick her out of everything she owns, what happens next will be entirely up to them.’
"That plot of land in the South Suburb... I’m quite interested in it.
Why don’t you go home and tell them, Miss Xia? If they’re willing to sell, I might just buy it~"
In all of Dijing, there surely weren’t many people willing to buy that land. Yun Zijin wasn’t worried that the Xia Family wouldn’t take the bait.
"Y-You... Are you serious?"
Xia Jiajiao was well aware of the financial crisis the Xia Family was facing. If someone could take that land off their hands, their cash flow problems would be solved immediately.
"Think whatever you want,"
Yun Zijin didn’t give a clear answer, leaving it up to Xia Jiajiao to decide whether to believe her.
"How much can you offer?"
"I’ll only negotiate with Xia Zhiyun or your father."
Although Xia Jiajiao had the persona of the Xia Family’s pampered darling, she held no real power. Naturally, Yun Zijin wasn’t foolish enough to negotiate business with her.
"I understand! I’ll go home and tell Dad and my brother right now. I just knew you wouldn’t abandon us, Sister!"
Xia Jiajiao finished her sentence with a brilliant smile. Not wanting to waste a single second, she rushed out of Huan Yan Fang, not even bothering with the lackey beside her.
"Sister Yun, are you really planning to buy that plot of land? That’s not a good deal at all."
Even with Sheng Yang’s limited business experience, he could tell that piece of land was a tough nut to crack.
"Am I short on cash? If I can build an estate on it, I’ll buy it.
If not... well, you can’t blame me then."
Using it for commercial purposes would be a guaranteed loss, but to build something for herself, Yun Zijin was willing to spend any amount of money.
Lu Yunfeng gave Yun Zijin a thumbs-up. ’That’s our Sister Yun for you,’ he thought.
"Alright, don’t just stand around here. Those who need to pay for their mothers can go pay, and those who have things to do, go do them. I’m off on a date."
Yun Zijin waved her phone. Lu Yunque had just sent her a message saying he got off work early to celebrate National Day with her.
The others shot her a speechless look. ’Seriously... that sickeningly sweet smell of love is just too much.’
Yun Zijin said a quick word to Su Mengyao, then left Huan Yan Fang.
Just as Yun Zijin walked out of Wanyuan Square, she saw a Rolls-Royce Phantom parked at the entrance.
The rear passenger window rolled down the moment she appeared.
As Yun Zijin approached the rear door of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, Zero One opened it for her.
Lu Yunque reached out a hand and pulled Yun Zijin into the car.
"Didn’t you say yesterday that you had to work overtime today? How did you get off so early?"
Yun Zijin had originally thought she would have to spend the National Day holiday with Su Mengyao and the others.
"I dealt with some urgent files. The rest can wait until we get back."
Even after Yun Zijin was in the car, Lu Yunque still didn’t let go of her hand.
"Get back? Where are you taking me?"
"I gave myself a three-day vacation. I’ve planned a short trip. The plane is already on standby at the airport."
"The airport? I don’t have any of my IDs with me."
Yun Zijin had only planned on visiting Huan Yan Fang, so she hadn’t brought her documents when she left home today.
"Then we’ll go back and get them now."
"Is there enough time?"
Yun Zijin was completely unprepared for this.
"Just grab your IDs. Leave everything else to me."
Yun Zijin gave Lu Yunque a skeptical look. ’Is he sure?’
"If there’s anything I’m not doing right, you can point it out anytime, and I’ll fix it immediately."
Lu Yunque wasn’t sure he could handle every single detail perfectly, but he would strive to do the best he possibly could.
"Alright, I’ll have Sister Wang get my IDs ready."
Some of Yun Zijin’s more important belongings were personally organized by Wang Minli.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom drove directly to Jade Lake. After Yun Zijin retrieved her documents, it headed straight for Dijing International Airport.
Yun Zijin followed Lu Yunque and, for the first time, experienced true super-VIP service.
Flight attendants escorted them the entire way. They didn’t have to carry their luggage or wait in line, and they went straight through security via an express channel.
It was only after they passed the boarding gate that Yun Zijin realized what Lu Yunque meant by "the plane is on standby." It was his private jet.
"You have to apply for a flight path in advance for a private jet, don’t you? When did you plan all this?"
He hadn’t let a single hint slip.
"About... a week ago."
Lu Yunque didn’t hide it from her; he wasn’t the type to do good deeds silently and remain uncredited.
Whatever he did, he had to let Yun Zijin know, so she could fully appreciate her place in his heart.
When it came to making her feel secure, Lu Yunque provided it in spades.
"What about my bodyguards...?"
Yun Zijin just remembered that Zero One and his team were supposed to be by her side to protect her.
"Just have them get on the plane with us."
Lu Yunque knew, of course, that Zero One and his team were essential whenever Yun Zijin traveled. Although he didn’t want any third wheels tagging along, he was willing to make a concession for her sake.
"I’ll have them sit in the back."
Since Lu Yunque had made a concession, Yun Zijin reciprocated.
Besides, as long as Zero One and his team wanted to be inconspicuous, no one would even notice their presence.
Lu Yunque nodded, agreeing to Yun Zijin’s suggestion.
Escorted by the flight crew, the group boarded Lu Yunque’s private jet.
Upon entering the private jet, Yun Zijin’s eyes lit up. The decor was exactly her style.
"It’s nice. How much did you pay for it? Is the hangar space bought or leased?
Are these flight attendants hired separately? How much is the annual maintenance cost?"
"You want to buy one?"
Hearing her string of questions, Lu Yunque immediately guessed what she was thinking.
"I’m considering it. But I might not use it much. I’d probably buy it just for it to sit at the airport gathering dust."
