She entered the room, and the snow wolf behind her followed. When the maid saw the wolf behind Lin Yue, she was so frightened that her legs went weak.
She's been through a lot, killing so many snakes and rats, but even if those were poisonous, they were small and could be killed with any long stick. But this is a wolf!
"It doesn't bite." After saying that, Lin Yue ignored the maid who was weak in the knees and led the snow wolf towards the main house.
She had only been here once before, but she remembered the way. The Yun family's courtyard was large, but there was only one main road leading to the main house. She was certain she wouldn't get lost. The paved road was vastly different from the previous gravel road.
When she arrived at the main house of the Yun family, the door was open. She went up and knocked on the door, and Yun's father, who was sitting in the hall, looked up.
Upon seeing that it was Lin Yue, Yun Zhang stood up but did not come out to greet her; he simply stood there.
"Miss Lin, welcome. Please come in and have a seat." Yun Zhang gestured to the table and chairs to the side, inviting Lin Yue to sit down. Then he called out to his right, "Qi'er, pour a cup of tea for Miss Lin."
Chen Qi'er is Yun Zhang's wife, and she is currently making desserts in the kitchen.
"Mr. Yun, you're too kind!" Lin Yue followed his instructions and sat down inside. The snow wolf sat obediently beside her, not even glancing around.
Chen Qi'er was quick; she brought out a cup of tea in no time and placed it on the table next to Lin Yue with a smile.
"Miss Lin, please have some tea!" Chen Qi'er looked at Lin Yue and thought she was likable in every way, except for one thing: she had a boyfriend.
Chen Qi'er is undoubtedly a great beauty. Her beauty is bright and striking, unlike Lin Yue's gentle and graceful appearance. In short, she is very beautiful.
"Thank you! Lin Yue is always polite, and she said thank you very smoothly. She said it even more smoothly to a beautiful lady."
"What a polite child," Chen Qi'er praised.
After saying that, he sat down on the other side.
Lin Yue didn't want to exchange pleasantries anymore, so she went straight to the point: "Mr. Yun, I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'm here today to ask the Yun family for their promise. Yun Zechen came to me in the middle of the night to get medicine, and he promised me that as long as it could cure Old Master Yun, I could name my price. I wonder if the Yun family agrees to that?"
Even if the Yun family denies it, she can still cause trouble for Yun Zechen. In short, she will not suffer any loss.
"Of course I agree. May I ask what Miss Lin would like to exchange?" Yun Zhang asked after taking a sip of water.
"I want all the remaining antiques, jewelry, and valuable ornaments from the Yun family, including the jade bracelet on Mrs. Yun's wrist." She was greedy, making herself sound like a miser.
"You want the jade bracelet on my hand?" Chen Qi'er immediately took off the jade bracelet on her hand, stood up and walked to Lin Yue, and put the bracelet on the table. "Miss Lin, it's nothing valuable, please don't look down on it."
Yun Zhang bought this jade bracelet at an auction. It was only worth a few hundred thousand yuan at the time, so it wasn't really worth much.
But now it's the apocalypse, and these things are neither edible nor drinkable. Nobody would even glance at them if they were left outside. They wouldn't even be worth a pound of grain. They're worthless.
Lin Yue glanced at the jade bracelet and rubbed the mark on her hand.
I wonder if there's any space inside this jade bracelet?
After looking at the jade bracelet, she looked at Yunzhang, waiting for his answer.
"Sister, is it really you?" Yun Zechen's voice was full of surprise from upstairs.
Honestly, no one told him Lin Yue was coming. If he hadn't vaguely heard her voice and come out to check, he wouldn't have known!
Lin Yue didn't respond to Yun Zechen's voice, but just nodded at him.
Yunzhang really wanted to give his son a good beating.
The girl isn't even as old as him, why is he calling her "sister"? It makes her sound old for no reason.
Moreover, he was just about to answer Lin Yue's question when this kid came out and started shouting. Wasn't that delaying things?
Seeing Lin Yue looking over again, Yun Zhang's face almost turned red. He quickly replied, "I'll have someone check the things Miss Lin requested right away. Would Miss Lin like to come and take a look together?"
Everything is in the warehouse; we just need to pack it up and take it out.
"Sister, what do you want? I'll take you to see it," Yun Zechen said enthusiastically.
Yun Zhang resisted the urge to cover his face.
Chen Qi'er looked at her son with a smile and secretly gave him a thumbs up.
As the saying goes, "If you swing the hoe well, no wall will stand still." Who knows, if my son is enthusiastic enough, he might be able to dig down the wall and pick this flower.
"No need, I believe Mr. Yun wouldn't betray me." Lin Yue still didn't reply to Yun Zechen's words, only answering Yun Zhang's.
She really didn't want to talk to him; Cang Yu, who was quiet, was more likable.
Sigh! I wonder how long I'll be gone this time?
When Yun Zechen saw his old man sending someone to pack things up in the storeroom, he stopped asking Lin Yue and went over to check on them.
Lin Yue's request cannot be dealt with casually; it would be bad if the maid, being so careless, broke something.
"Mr. Yun, besides these, there's one more thing I'd like to ask for." Lin Yue picked up the teacup, took a sip as usual, but didn't actually drink any tea.
Yun Zhang was a cunning old fox. He knew exactly what Lin Yue was doing. He could only sigh inwardly at Lin Yue's caution, realizing that his son was no match for her.
"I wonder if Miss Lin would like anything else?"
The other party saved the old man's life, so it's normal for them to ask for more.
"There's a small submarine in the swimming pool in the Yun family's backyard, and a simulated spaceship by the pool. I'm not greedy, I'll give you one of the two." See, she really isn't greedy, she even leaves one for the other person.
"Which one would Miss Lin like?" These things are useless to keep, but they're good for doing favors, so it's a good use of them.
"I want a submarine." This thing will be very useful if I ever have the chance to explore the ocean depths.
"Sure, but this thing is very heavy and requires a crane. There's only one crane in the base, and I'm afraid I don't have that kind of influence."
He was telling the truth. The only crane at the base was always used for infrastructure construction. When it wasn't being used, it was maintained by a specialist, so it was very difficult to borrow. He really didn't have that much influence to borrow it.
"Don't worry about that, as long as Mr. Yun agrees to give it to you."
She might be able to borrow it, after all, because of Professor Qin and Professor Xu's matter, Qin Chao had been making things convenient for them, both openly and secretly. Moreover, Cang Yu was the base's military advisor, so borrowing a crane shouldn't be a problem.
If all else fails, she can sneak over at night, take the thing, and then act like she doesn't want it anymore.
"Of course I agree." This was a promise his family had made, and there was no reason for him to go back on his word; otherwise, how could he establish himself in the business world?
"Okay. There are too many things. I'd appreciate it if Mr. Yun could have someone help me load them into the car later. Also, please wrap up this bracelet and put it in my car as well." The car was parked outside the yard, a bit far away.
As for the bracelet...
Although the space didn't signal to her that she wanted to eat, she didn't dare to gamble and go directly to take it. If it disappeared, wouldn't that expose her to others, and silencing her would be a troublesome matter?
Moreover, the Yun family is protected by the military, so she might not be able to eliminate them quietly.
Lin Yue sat there petting the snow wolf at the Yun family's house until they had all moved out before driving away.
