Chapter 227: Marriage Alliance? The Bankruptcy Kind.
Yun Zijin opened it. ’The contents... it’s an address?’
A little confused, Yun Zijin took a screenshot of the address and sent it to Mei Lin.
Without Yun Zijin having to say a word, Mei Lin knew what to do.

At 12:00 AM, Yun Zijin sat on her bed, leaning against the headboard. The system’s virtual screen was open as she waited for the final second of settlement.
[Congratulations, Host, for completing this week’s cumulative spending task. You have received your rewards: a 3x cash rebate of ¥30,000,000 has been deposited into the savings card under your name, 10 packs of Moonlight Grass Seeds, 20 tubes of anti-cavity whitening toothpaste, 5 canisters of Lingwu tea, 1 Yunding Mansion Villa, and 100 bottles of finished Whitening Moisturizing Rose Essential Oil.]
Yun Zijin stared at the long list of rewards, her vision blurring.
However, she soon spotted a new item—the anti-cavity whitening toothpaste.
The Randomly Spend system never named things casually. If it was called that, it meant the toothpaste truly had that function.
At this thought, Yun Zijin’s eyes lit up.
She had always felt that no matter how she cared for her teeth, they were never white enough.
And she didn’t want to get them professionally cleaned at the dentist, fearing it might damage her tooth enamel and make her more prone to cavities later.
But now, with this anti-cavity whitening toothpaste, all her problems were solved.
If she hadn’t already brushed her teeth tonight, Yun Zijin would have absolutely used it to brush them again right then and there.
Yun Zijin ignored the other rewards, took out a single tube of the anti-cavity whitening toothpaste, and placed it in her bathroom. That way, when she came out to brush her teeth tomorrow, she would see it right away and not forget.
After sorting her rewards, Yun Zijin had a wonderful night’s sleep. The next morning, the first thing she did upon waking was grab the anti-cavity whitening toothpaste and begin her new brushing experiment.
Five minutes later, she didn’t know if it was a placebo effect or real, but Yun Zijin actually felt like her teeth had become a little whiter.
Moreover, many spots that she felt she could never reach before now felt exceptionally clean.
However, it was only the first time using it, so it was understandable that the effects weren’t dramatic.
After finishing her skincare routine, she left her room and was greeted by a fragrant aroma wafting from the kitchen.
Yun Zijin’s eyes brightened. She hurried down the stairs and took a seat in the dining room.
Not long after Yun Zijin sat down, Wang Minli came in with others, serving breakfast.
This time, Yun Zijin first took out her phone, snapped a picture of her breakfast, and sent it to Lu Yunque.
[Qingqing Zijing: Today’s breakfast. [Image.jpg] Don’t forget to eat breakfast~ Sticker: I’ll be watching you.]
After checking that everything was fine, Yun Zijin hit send.
At this time, Lu Yunque was also eating breakfast, so Yun Zijin’s message arrived at the perfect moment.
Lu Yunque, who had been reading a financial report, heard his phone’s WeChat notification. Seeing on the screen that the message was from Yun Zijin, he immediately put down his magazine and opened his phone to read it.
The first thing he saw was the photo of Yun Zijin’s breakfast. Looking at his own half-eaten breakfast, Lu Yunque obediently sent a picture back.
[L: Today’s breakfast. Already eating. [Image.jpg]]
[Qingqing Zijing: Mm, very good! Today’s breakfast mission is complete! Sticker: Awesome!]
Lu Yunque finished his breakfast as his chat with Yun Zijin came to an end.
As they chatted, he’d unknowingly eaten an extra bowl of porridge and was feeling a bit stuffed.
However, as a domineering CEO, Lu Yunque was used to keeping a poker face. No one noticed that he had overeaten.

After breakfast, with no spending tasks for the day, Yun Zijin found herself idle again, unsure of what to do.
So, Yun Zijin headed over to the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop.
Qin Sitong was a little surprised to see Yun Zijin. "What brings you here?"
To be honest, aside from the first few days after the grand opening, Yun Zijin hadn’t concerned herself with the shop’s affairs.
"I came to help you out!"
Yun Zijin raised an eyebrow, saying something even she didn’t believe.
As expected, Qin Sitong didn’t buy it and continued with her work.
"Just go sit for a bit. It’s crowded right now. Tell me what you want to drink later."
During the National Day holiday, the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop was packed every day. Qin Sitong had been so busy these past few days she felt like she’d lost several pounds.
Still, good business meant making money, so she was happily exhausted.
Yun Zijin nodded. Of course, she wouldn’t get in the way of their work.
However, not long after Yun Zijin sat down, her phone rang.
Seeing it was an unknown number, Yun Zijin rejected the call and blocked it immediately.
’I was just harassed by Xia Zhengguang yesterday, and now another unknown number is calling. I don’t need to guess who it is.’
Xia Zhengguang had suddenly started acting like a doting father, insisting she come back to the Xia family home for a meal. ’There’s definitely a trap in there. In any case, I don’t rely on the Xia Family for anything. Whatever his scheme is, I just need to ignore it.’
However, Xia Zhengguang wasn’t someone who gave up so easily. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone from being a poor student from a small town to achieving something as great as the Xia Group.
From a certain perspective, Xia Zhengguang was quite an outstanding person; it was just that his moral character left much to be desired.
Before long, Zero One, whom Yun Zijin had left outside the milk tea shop, walked in. Upon seeing Yun Zijin, he headed straight for her.
"Miss, Xia Zhengguang has hired people to track your whereabouts."
As long as Yun Zijin didn’t want her location to be found, Mei Lin would ensure no one could find it.
The current situation was that Xia Zhengguang couldn’t get through on the phone, so he wanted to track Yun Zijin’s location to find her in person.
Hearing Zero One’s words, Yun Zijin’s expression darkened.
"Did you find out why he’s suddenly looking for me?"
After Yun Zijin asked the question, Zero One seemed to hesitate.
They had certainly found out, but even they hadn’t expected Xia Zhengguang to be so shameless.
"Just say it. There’s nothing I can’t handle."
Zero One hesitated for a moment before leaning in and whispering Xia Zhengguang’s objective in Yun Zijin’s ear.
An arranged marriage!
’Xia Zhengguang really has some nerve!’
"Heh!"
Yun Zijin had considered every possibility, but an arranged marriage had never crossed her mind.
’What an ironic term.’
"Since he’s decided to disregard my feelings, I don’t need to hold back either.
Tell Mei Lin that I want to see the Xia Family... disappear from Dijing!"
Yun Zijin might just be a landlord collecting rent in Dijing, but with the money she had, there was a lot she could do.
Bankrupting a single Xia Family was well within her capabilities!
’An arranged marriage? To hell with their damn arranged marriage! If they want an arranged marriage so badly, then I’ll show them the consequences of trying to force one on me!’
Zero One paused for a second, then nodded slightly and turned to walk out of the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop.
’Our Miss has finally been rendered speechless by the Xia family’s shamelessness.’
