Chapter 16: What a Coincidence

Chapter 16: What a Coincidence

Yun Zijin had no idea that just by attending an auction, she had already become a target. Currently, she was being escorted back to Xingyu Mansion with extreme caution by seven bodyguards.

Fortunately, Villa No. 1 was spacious enough that even with a seven-man security detail, there was plenty of room.

"Just put everything in my room, and then you can choose your own rooms. Aside from the master bedroom, feel free to pick any of them."

"Understood, Eldest Miss."

Leading the group, the head bodyguard and the other six men carried the items Yun Zijin had won at the auction. They entered her bedroom without looking sideways, placed the items down, and quickly retreated.

Yun Zijin looked at the items on her desk and moved all the jewelry into the walk-in closet. The red jade phoenix ornament was placed prominently on her desk.

Other items, such as bracelets and various pieces of jewelry, were tucked away in the closet.

【Task Released: Please spend 5,000,000.00 RMB before midnight tonight. Requirement: Use your left hand when swiping your card. Reward: To be unlocked】

When Yun Zijin woke up in the morning and saw the requirement following the spending task, she fell silent.

Wasn't this just like that joke about stepping out with your left foot first and then getting dumped?

However, Yun Zijin only complained inwardly. No matter what requirements the system set, even if she had objections, she could only obediently follow them to complete the task.

Fortunately, it was just a matter of being mindful to use her left hand when swiping her card; it wasn't an impossibly difficult requirement.

Yun Zijin ate breakfast at home at a leisurely pace before driving to her previous rental.

Although she had moved into Xingyu Mansion these past few days, there were still many things left to pack at her rental apartment.

Now that she had resigned, and with seven bodyguards to consider, Yun Zijin wanted to move everything out as quickly as possible to clear the place for the landlady, making it easier for her to find new tenants.

"You guys wait here. I'll call you once I've finished packing."

The seven bodyguards had originally intended to go up with her, but Yun Zijin stopped them.

A small one-bedroom apartment would be incredibly cramped with seven large, imposing bodyguards suddenly entering.

Furthermore, there were many of her personal belongings in the house; she felt more at ease packing them herself.

"Understood, Eldest Miss."

Their duty was to protect Yun Zijin's safety. Provided her physical safety was guaranteed, they were required to follow any of her commands unconditionally.

Yun Zijin went up to the second-floor rental and briefly packed her personal items, such as clothes and shoes.

Then, she took some photos to post in the tenant group chat created by the landlady.

『Qingqing Zijin: Hey everyone, I'm moving out soon and am here to pack today. I can't take the items in these photos with me, so if anyone needs them, feel free to come and take them.』

In truth, there wasn't much—just a small table, some stools, a hairdryer, and clothes hangers she had bought during her stay.

As for her clothes and shoes, Yun Zijin figured no one would want her second-hand goods, so she packed them into suitcases, planning to find a place to donate them later.

As soon as Yun Zijin posted, many people in the group started talking. Some asked why she was moving, while others asked where she was moving to.

Of course, there were also some snide comments, asking if she had struck it rich and no longer wanted to associate with poor people like them.

Yun Zijin ignored these messages entirely.

She spoke directly in the group, stating that she would wait in the rental for one hour. Anyone who wanted the items could come and take them directly within that hour.

After that time, moving the items wouldn't be so easy.

After all, the landlady wasn't available at all times.

Although Yun Zijin hadn't had much money before, the things she bought were always carefully compared and selected; the quality was well worth the price.

Consequently, when Yun Zijin posted the photos, many people were tempted and expressed that they would head back from their companies immediately.

Taking advantage of this time, Yun Zijin gave the landlady a call.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hello! Little girl! What is it that you're calling me for?"

The landlady's kind and energetic voice came through the receiver, making Yun Zijin feel much better.

"Landlady, it's like this. I called you before about moving out. I'm here to move today, so I was wondering when you might be free so I can return the keys to you?"

"Oh my! I'm not in Beijing right now, little girl. How about this: my grandson is in Beijing. I'll let him know, and I'll send you his contact information in a moment. You can just give the keys to him."

It was only when Fang Shuxin heard that Yun Zijin wanted to return the keys that she remembered feeling like something was unfinished before she left for her trip; it turned out to be the matter of the house keys.

"Alright, then please send me his number and I'll contact him."

"Okay, I'll hang up first. Wait a moment, I'll send it to you right away."

Yun Zijin didn't have to wait long before Fang Shuxin sent over a phone number.

There was also a voice message from the landlady: "Little girl, this is my grandson's number. Just call him directly!"

Yun Zijin sent an "OK" emoji to the landlady.

Yun Zijin tapped the phone number sent by the landlady to dial.

The first call was hung up.

Yun Zijin:!!

It was normal for a call to an unknown number to be hung up; she would just call again.

Yun Zijin tried her best to calm her emotions and redialed.

Fortunately, the second call went through.

"Hello, I am Ms. Fang Shuxin's tenant. Your grandmother gave me this number. I am moving out and need to return the keys, but the landlady isn't in Beijing, so she told me to contact you. Please let me know how I should return the keys—whether by mail or in person, either is fine."

To prevent being hung up on again, Yun Zijin identified herself immediately and quickly explained the situation.

The person on the other end clearly paused for a moment, and it took a long time before they spoke: "Miss Yun, this is Lu Yunque."
