Rich Parents Found Me After I Got a Tycoon System? Yeah, I'm Not Interested

However, Yun Zijin didn’t continue discussing the matter with Lu Yunque, because more guests had arrived.

The new arrivals were people Yun Zijin didn’t recognize. They were likely from the invitation list Mei Lin had curated from Dijing’s prominent families.

Lu Yunque noticed that Yun Zijin didn’t recognize the people getting out of the car, so he whispered in her ear.

"That’s the current head of the Sun Family, which owns a national hotel chain, along with his wife and their only son."

With Lu Yunque’s reminder, Yun Zijin’s smile grew a little more confident.

However, since it was their first meeting, Yun Zijin didn’t chat as much as she had with the Su Family members earlier. She just exchanged simple pleasantries so they could put faces to names.

The Sun Family of three didn’t linger at the entrance for long. After exchanging pleasantries with Yun Zijin, they entered the venue.

The next several waves of guests were all people Yun Zijin was unfamiliar with, and she relied entirely on Lu Yunque, who was by her side, to identify them.

However, Yun Zijin hadn’t expected to see members of the Situ family here so soon after the paternity test.

Situ Wenze, Situ Yunliang, Situ Anrui, and Situ Anyu had all arrived.

"Zijin, long time no see!"

Situ Yunliang, dressed in a form-fitting cheongsam and an age-appropriate pearl necklace, walked in on Situ Wenze’s arm. Situ Anrui, Situ Anyu, and Jiang He followed closely behind.

Situ Anrui and Situ Anyu apparently knew Yun Zijin’s identity as well. Upon seeing her, their faces lit up with obvious excitement.

However, seeing Yun Zijin’s placid expression, the two of them restrained the urge to go up and hug her.

Because of Yun Zijin’s dismissive attitude toward Situ Yunliang, Situ Wenze’s own attitude toward her was now neutral—not particularly warm, but not cold either.

Yun Zijin couldn’t care less about their attitude. All that mattered to her was that she would absolutely not be going with them to France to formally rejoin the family.

’After all, I’ve lived just fine without them for all these years. And now I even have the Randomly Spend system. Who knows, one day my assets might even surpass theirs.’

"Welcome."

Yun Zijin didn’t make any snide remarks, but her attitude wasn’t exactly enthusiastic either.

"Well, we’ll head inside first. Call me anytime if you need anything, Mo—... My phone will be on."

Situ Yunliang had originally wanted to refer to herself as "Mom," but thinking of Yun Zijin’s attitude toward her, she swallowed the word at the last second and stiffly corrected herself.

"Thank you for your concern, but Mei Lin is very competent. There won’t be any issues with security."

Since Tang Zhaosong’s laboratory would be built here in addition to her manor, Yan Shutang had provided security support for the groundbreaking ceremony. Furthermore, the seven members of Zero One were also keeping a constant watch over everything at the venue.

Most importantly, the entire area was well within Mei Lin’s surveillance range. On Blue Star, absolutely no one could get away with anything under Mei Lin’s watch.

Therefore, Yun Zijin had no concerns whatsoever when it came to security.

"She’s so capable, it’s not like she needs our help. You should stop worrying so much."

Seeing Yun Zijin reject Situ Yunliang yet again, Situ Wenze finally couldn’t hold back his hot temper.

A cold, mocking glint appeared in Yun Zijin’s eyes. "My skills are indeed quite something. This is an honor no one else in all of Hua Country has, you know~"

’When faced with certain people’s mockery, you have to throw it right back at them. Otherwise, they’ll think you’re a pushover they can walk all over.’

Yun Zijin’s words successfully choked off whatever Situ Wenze was about to say next.

After all, Yun Zijin was speaking the truth, which indirectly proved that her skills were indeed impressive.

"Hmph! That’s the only trick up your sleeve."

"To hear you talk, you could do it too. Why don’t you go get a permit and show me, then?"

’I know getting the permit had nothing to do with my own skills,’ Yun Zijin thought. ’It was purely good luck that I ran into Tang Zhaosong.’

’If Situ Wenze dared to take her up on it, there was a ninety-nine percent chance he would end up failing.’

But Situ Wenze had done some research on Hua Country before coming and knew that under normal circumstances, the private construction of manors was not permitted.

His clashing with Yun Zijin just now stemmed entirely from his indignation at her cold attitude toward Situ Yunliang.

But as for getting a permit himself, Situ Wenze wasn’t a fool. He was well aware of his own limitations.

Still, he couldn’t stomach admitting defeat so easily, so in the end, he could only respond with silence.

Situ Anrui and Situ Anyu restrained their emotions, said a quick hello to Yun Zijin, and then followed Situ Wenze and Situ Yunliang into the venue.

"Zijin! Long time no see!"

Not long after Situ Wenze’s group of four arrived, Yun Zijin saw Tu Tutu. The people with her were presumably her parents and older brother.

"Long time no see! And hello, Uncle Tu, Aunt Tu, and Brother Tu Hua. Thank you all for taking the time to attend this groundbreaking ceremony."

"Hello, hello! When Tutu came home and said she’d made a new friend at the banquet, I hardly believed her. I can’t believe it’s true!"

"Mr. Lu, I never expected to run into you here!"

Compared to Mrs. Tu, who was focused on Yun Zijin, Father Tu’s attention was fixed more on Lu Yunque.

He hadn’t expected to encounter such an important figure just by attending a groundbreaking ceremony.

And judging by their positions, this man’s relationship with his daughter’s new friend was clearly far from simple.

It seemed the rumors in their circle weren’t baseless after all. ’Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.’

"Hello. But Zijin is the star of the show today. Please don’t mind me."

Lu Yunque didn’t want his presence to overshadow Yun Zijin’s hard work.

He had originally just planned on accompanying Yun Zijin, but then the task of identifying guests for her was added to his duties. Lu Yunque hoped that today, he could just be the man standing behind her, rather than having everyone ignore her and focus on him instead.

"Of course, of course! Miss Yun, your invitation today was quite a surprise.

An honor unique in the entire country... it certainly amazed a lot of people!"

’He wondered how many people today had come specifically to ask Yun Zijin about her permit.’

"It was just luck. I still have much to learn from everyone in the future."

Yun Zijin was telling the truth, but there was no telling how many people actually believed her.

After exchanging pleasantries with the four members of the Tu family, for a long while afterward, the guests were all people Yun Zijin had never met. She relied entirely on Lu Yunque’s reminders from the side to even call them by name.

If Lu Yunque hadn’t been there to cover for her, the story of a host not recognizing her own guests might have started trending online.

As the time approached the auspicious hour of 2:00 PM, Yun Zijin finally spotted a few familiar faces.

Her landlady, Fang Shuxin, and her husband, Huo Wenqing.

"Grandma Fang!"

The moment she saw Fang Shuxin, Yun Zijin’s weary expression instantly brightened, as if she’d been fully revived.

"Oh, my, long time no see! You never come to visit this old lady anymore!"

Fang Shuxin began to playfully complain the moment she saw Yun Zijin, completely ignoring Lu Yunque standing beside her as if he were invisible.
