Chapter 362: Acquiring Xia Group for Yun Zijin

Situ Yunliang looked at Situ Wenze.

Situ Wenze’s eyes shot up. "Did Yun Zijin just tell you?"

"Yes. If Zijin hadn’t called and told me, were you planning on never telling me?"

Situ Yunliang’s tone was laced with resentment. She was the one involved; she had a right to know!

Seeing the subtle signs that Situ Yunliang was about to lose control of her emotions, Situ Wenze cursed Yun Zijin countless times in his head.

He had originally planned to find an opportunity to deal with the Xia Family himself, but he never expected that before he could even make a move, the Xia Family would dig their own grave.

Now, he was content to sit on the sidelines and watch the show, just waiting for the Xia Family to announce their bankruptcy.

He hadn’t told her because he didn’t want the Xia Family’s troubles to force her to reopen wounds that were over twenty years old.

But he never imagined that a single phone call from Yun Zijin would blow the whole thing wide open.

"What happened back then hurt you too much, Auntie. I was afraid that if you found out, the condition you’ve worked so hard to control would flare up again. That’s why I didn’t say anything.

But don’t worry, I’ve been keeping a close eye on the Xia Family’s movements. They’re not far from bankruptcy now.

When the time comes, I’ll take you to the Xia Family’s home to watch the spectacle."

Situ Wenze tried to soothe Situ Yunliang’s emotions.

"No! How could bankruptcy possibly be enough? I want him to watch with his own eyes as the company he built from scratch falls into someone else’s hands!

And when that happens, the Xia Group will have to be renamed! Zijin might not care for it, but I want to give it to her. Consider it a dowry from a mother to her daughter."

The more Situ Yunliang thought about it, the better the idea sounded. She then turned her gaze to Situ Wenze. "Wenzhe, you’ll help your aunt, won’t you?"

Situ Yunliang had no business experience, but that didn’t matter. She could call for backup.

Situ Wenze opened his mouth, then sighed in resignation. "Fine! Whatever you say, Auntie."

The moment Situ Wenze thought about how the company he was painstakingly acquiring would end up as part of Yun Zijin’s dowry, he started to feel annoyed.

But this was something Situ Yunliang was set on, and if he didn’t agree, she would absolutely make a call and summon reinforcements from the family.

Situ Wenze had no desire to be breaking new ground here, only to have someone from above second-guessing his every move. But none of that mattered. In the end, all his hard work and toil were going to be handed over to Yun Zijin anyway.

’Since Yun Zijin already has shares of her own, that just gives me more room to maneuver.’

’As long as we have 51% of the shares, we can achieve absolute control. All I need to do is get Yun Zijin’s stake up to 51%, and my mission will be complete.’

A smile finally appeared on Situ Yunliang’s face when she heard Situ Wenze agree.

"Zijin just called me. Judging from her tone, she doesn’t seem to like the Xia Family either, so you don’t have to hold back too much when you make your move."

If not for her own lack of experience in this area, Situ Yunliang would have preferred to handle it herself.

Still, having family to back her up left Situ Yunliang feeling very satisfied.

"I know. If the Xia Family wasn’t already struggling to save themselves, I wouldn’t have waited this long to make a move."

The Xia Family... not a single one of them was any good.

On the other side of town, after hanging up with Situ Yunliang, Yun Zijin headed out.

Her good mood had been ruined by Xia Zhiyun. Unable to stay at home, Yun Zijin decided to go on a shopping spree to console herself after he had spoiled her day.

Yun Zijin called Qin Sitong, Su Mengyao, and Tu Tutu.

Their original group of three had now become a group of four with the addition of Tu Tutu.

After Yun Zijin made her calls, their four-person group chat quickly came to life.

—Yao Yao Has Time: Going to the mall is so boring. Why don’t we go for a spa instead!

—Tu Tutu Tu: I’m up for anything!

—Totally Tongtong: I’m still at the shop, so I might be a little late.

...

Except for Qin Sitong, who had to sell out of Wangyou Milk Tea at her shop before she could leave, the others were all wealthy young ladies with no jobs to hold them back.

Yun Zijin didn’t care where they went; she just wanted to spend money to cheer herself up.

Besides, it was the weekend, and she had ten million in pocket money for the day. If she didn’t use it today, it would be gone by tomorrow. It would be a waste not to spend it.

—Qingqing Zijing: A spa it is, then. You guys pick the place. My treat today!

—Yao Yao Has Time: You’re the best, boss! I’ll send an address.

Right after that message, Su Mengyao quickly sent a location pin.

Yun Zijin replied with a "Got it" and headed out with her seven bodyguards in a grand procession.

Yun Zijin linked the location to the car’s navigation system, and Ling Qi drove according to the route.

When Yun Zijin arrived at the beauty salon named "Charming Woman," she suddenly remembered that she had signed up for a VIP card here before.

If Su Mengyao hadn’t sent this address, Yun Zijin would have completely forgotten about it.

Ever since she got the Rose Essential Oil, she hadn’t been to a beauty salon.

When she reached the entrance, Yun Zijin took out her phone and sent a message to the group chat.

—Qingqing Zijing: I’m here. Where are you guys?

Su Mengyao and Tu Tutu replied instantly in the chat. Before long, Yun Zijin saw the two of them walk in from outside.

"Zijin!"

Su Mengyao and Tu Tutu both ran over to Yun Zijin.

"Let’s go in first. Tongtong is still going to be busy for a while."

The day’s batch of Wangyou Milk Tea hadn’t sold out yet, so Qin Sitong couldn’t get away.

The three of them walked into the beauty salon together, where a staff member greeted them enthusiastically. "Miss Su, Miss Tu, Miss Yun! It’s been a while!

Is there any particular service you’d like today?"

Yun Zijin was surprised that the staff here still remembered her, even though she hadn’t been here in a while.

"The usual. We booked Sofia, Bai Ya, Tixi, and Mia. They should all be available, right?"

Su Mengyao didn’t want to get into any unnecessary conflicts over such a small matter.

"Of course, but... there are three of you. Are you sure you need four technicians?"

The staff member who had greeted them was a bit uncertain, having heard Su Mengyao list the names of four technicians at once.

"We have another friend coming. She’ll be a little late."

The staff member nodded in understanding. "I see. This way, please, ladies."

The staff member walked to their left front, guiding the three of them.

This beauty salon had quite a big reputation in Dijing. Otherwise, Yun Zijin wouldn’t have chosen to get a membership card here back when she first got Randomly Spend.

"About what time will Tongtong get here?"

Su Mengyao asked after they had entered their private room.

"It shouldn’t be too long. She’ll definitely call us when she gets here."

Wangyou Milk Tea sold out very quickly. As long as Qin Sitong was at the shop, it would usually be gone in two or three hours.

"That’s good. Let’s hope she shows up before we’ve already finished our first round."

While Yun Zijin’s side was relaxed and comfortable, the Xia Family’s side was a bloody storm.

Situ Wenze moved quickly. He began making his arrangements the moment Situ Yunliang said she wanted to deal with the Xia Family.
