Chapter 9: Sky-high Child Support
"So you still think of me as your sister?" Yun Zheng looked at him with eyes full of sarcasm.
"But I don't want to be your sister anymore. How can a brother who tries to push his sister into trouble be considered a good brother?"
Yun Jingyuan had been watching this farce with a cold face. How could he not know the grievances Yun Zheng had suffered recently? He also knew that this time her family had gone a little too far.
But this matter had nothing to do with him directly, so he was too lazy to get involved and just watched as a bystander.
"You! You..." Yun Rongtin was speechless after being rebuked by Yun Zheng. He pointed at her for a long time but couldn't make any statement. He could only retract his fingers in disappointment.
Yun Zheng's cold eyes swept over them lightly, and the warmth that used to appear in her eyes was now covered by frost.
"I don't want you as my brother anymore, and there's nothing worth staying in this family for. I'll leave and won't be an eyesore or disturb your family reunion."
Yun Zheng's tone was cold and indifferent, without a trace of emotion.
As soon as she finished speaking, the living room fell into deathly silence.
Yun Rongtian looked at Yun Zheng in shock, his eyes full of surprise. He obviously didn't expect Yun Zheng to take the initiative to ask to leave.
Yun Tianqing's anger was also frozen at this moment, and he stared at Yun Zheng blankly.
Even Yun Ruzhu, who was curled up in Jiang Yan's arms, did not expect Yun Zheng to take the initiative to leave.
She didn't like Yun Zheng and wanted to get rid of her from the moment she came back.
She did everything she could, including sowing discord and doing bad things behind the scenes.
But the Yun family never agreed to kick Yun Zheng out, and they didn't expect that she would take the initiative to leave.
It is true that when you try hard to plant flowers, they don’t bloom, but when you plant willows by accident, they grow into a shade!
After Yun Zheng finished speaking, she turned around and went upstairs to pack her things without waiting for their reaction.
Her room was on the 3rd floor, which was originally the best room in the entire villa on the 2nd floor.
But after Yun Ruzhu came back, they let her move out and move into the guest room upstairs.
She actually has quite a lot of things, all bought for her by them.
It's true that they loved her in the past, but it's also true that they don't love her now.
Love may not disappear, but it certainly shifts.
The preference that once belonged to her alone has now become someone else's exclusive property.
Yun Zheng simply packed up and took some of her own things. She didn't take anything else.
Soon she came downstairs with her 20-inch suitcase.
Although Yun Yancheng was still young, he knew what was happening.
Knowing that she was leaving, he was reluctant to let her go. He quickly ran forward and hugged Yun Zheng's legs, looking up at her with tears in his eyes, "Sister, please don't leave, okay?"
Yun Zheng looked down at Yun Yancheng who was hugging her legs, and the frost in her eyes softened a little.
She let go of the suitcase, squatted down, reached out and gently touched Yun Yancheng's head, her voice softened a little, "Chengcheng, be good, don't cry. This is Chengcheng's home, but not your sister's home. You can't live here forever."
"No, sister, I don't want you to leave." Yun Yancheng cried even harder, and her small body hugged Yun Zheng's legs tightly, as if she would disappear if she let go.
Yun Zheng's eyes were slightly red, and she reached out to wipe the tears from his eyes. "Chengcheng, don't you have my sister's WeChat? If you miss me, just call me on video. I'll come to see you when I have time."
She tried to pry Yun Yancheng's hands open, but he held her too tightly, and Yun Zheng's heart ached.
Yun Rongtian stepped forward and pulled Yun Yancheng away, "Why are you crying? If she wants to leave, let her go!"
Yun Yancheng struggled desperately, shouting, "I don't want my sister to leave!"
Yun Zheng took a deep breath, straightened her back, and dragged her suitcase towards the door.
Just after taking two steps, Yun Ruzhu suddenly ran towards her and grabbed her hand, "Sister, there is nothing that cannot be discussed peacefully among family members. Just apologize to Dad and Brother, and they won't hold it against you."
Yun Zheng lowered her eyes to glance at the hand held by Yun Ruzhu, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, "Let go!"
Yun Ruzhu was frightened by her look and her hands loosened uncontrollably.
When Yun Rongtin saw that Yun Ruzhu was wronged, he quickly put Yun Yancheng in his arms into Yun Jingyuan's arms and walked towards them quickly.
"Zhuzhu, let her go. Someone like her who doesn't know how to be grateful is not worthy of you speaking for her." Yun Rongtin carefully protected Yun Ruzhu, and his eyes were full of heartache when he looked at her.
Yun Zheng didn't want to talk to them any more. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard Yun Tianqing suddenly say, "Wait."
Yun Zheng paused when she heard that and turned to look at him, "Mr. Yun, is there anything else?"
"You want to leave like this? It's not that easy! Over the years, you've had no worries about food and clothing in the Yun family, and received the best education. All of this cost a lot!"
"Even if you want to leave, you have to pay off the Yun family's child support before you can leave!"
Yun Zheng didn't expect Yun Tianqing to be so heartless.
But come to think of it, she should pay back the child support. Once she pays it back, she will have nothing to do with them anymore.
"Okay, how much? Just tell me the number."
When Yun Tianqing heard Yun Zheng's straightforward response, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his indifference and determination.
He stretched out five fingers and waved them at Yun Zheng.
"50 million?" Yun Zheng asked.
Yun Tianqing shook his head calculatingly, his eyes gleaming. "No, five hundred million! The Yun family has invested far more than this in you over the years, but considering you've lived in the Yun family for so many years, you have some affection for them. This is the amount, not a cent less!"
There was a sudden sound of gasps in the living room, and Yun Rongtin widened his eyes slightly, as if even he found the number a little shocking. However, he did not object out loud, but just looked at Yun Zheng with glee, as if waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
Yun Zheng's heart sank suddenly. Five hundred million was undoubtedly an astronomical figure for her.
Although she had been living a comfortable life in the Yun family, she also had some savings. If it was 50 million, she could still scrape together the money.
But this is not 50 million, it is 500 million!
This is a bit too much.
After Yun Zheng turned 18, she didn't spend much of the Yun family's money. She had her own scholarship and also received a lot of prize money from design competitions.
Although she was raised in pampering by them, Yun Zheng definitely did not spend so much money on them in the past 20 years.
Yun Zheng's hands unconsciously clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, anger and unwillingness surging in her chest.
She raised her eyes and looked straight at Yun Tianqing. Her eyes were like a sharp cold blade, as if she wanted to see through the man in front of her whom she had called dad for more than 20 years.
"Five hundred million?" Yun Zheng's voice trembled slightly, but she still spoke clearly. "Mr. Yun, am I, Yun Zheng, worth that much?"
