Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling Chapter 114 - 113 You get what you pay for
Just returned to the Yun Family’s house, Yun Ran saw Yun Jinyang sitting in the living room, still handling emails on his tablet.
"Back already?"
Yun Ran was a bit curious, as she had been seeing Yun Jinyang at ho quite often lately. Could it be that the Yun Family business isn’t busy now?
Wasn’t it said that the Si Family had run into big trouble and many families were starting to fiercely encroach on the Si Family’s market? Why was the Yun Family still so calm?
"Big brother seems a bit idle lately?"
Actually, the person who was truly idle was Yun Ran, who was supposed to continue attending school.
But clearly, she wasn’t soone who loved studying. With Principal Du’s approval from the school side and the Yun Family knowing she had connected with the Xie Family, they no longer inquired much into her affairs.
Now, there really was no one to force her to go to school anymore, which was a state Yun Ran liked.
Yun Jinyang glanced at Yun Ran. In the past, he wouldn’t have answered such a question from her.
Now, it can only be said that when a person has value, every word she says gets a response.
"If I have to personally handle everything, then what are those people at the company for?"
Yun Ran shrugged her shoulders, alright, that question was redundant.
Just as she was about to go upstairs, she heard Yun Jinyang suddenly say, "In a few days, co with to a banquet."
Yun Ran: ???
Looking at the puzzled expression on Yun Ran’s face, Yun Jinyang was completely calm, not embarrassed in the slightest.
"It’s the first public appearance of the daughter of Huanan’s Richest from the Zhao Family, and the Yun Family does have so business dealings with the Zhao Family."
Hearing this, Yun Ran understood. It’s just an event where families of similar standing et, eat, drink, and casually talk about potential collaborations.
"Alright, I got it."
Back in her room, Yun Ran took out the dicinal herbs she had previously obtained from the Si Family and threw them into the bathtub for a soak.
Suddenly, she rembered what Yun Jinyang ntioned about the Zhao Family’s invitation to the Yun Family.
Tang Mingshan’s children, the incident happened in the waters of Huannan, and it seed to be related to so kind of wine party. Could there be a connection?
Just as she was about to ask for details, her phone rang. It was a call from Shen Zhe.
"Ranran, I’ve checked the information you sent . There’s nothing overtly wrong; all activities had been recorded.
However, since you sensed sothing off, the superiors still decided to send soone to take a look, and the South China Branch will fully cooperate."
"Captain Shen, I want to ask, does that party I asked you to check have any connection with Huanan’s Richest Zhao Family?"
"How did you know?"
Yun Ran: ...
Alright, it’s confird now. Without the protection of rit, the potent causality has roped her in again.
On the other side of the phone, Shen Zhe, clearly unaware of Yun Ran’s inner thoughts, continued, "The party you ntioned is hosted by the Huannan Chamber of Comrce, and the Zhao Family is the lead organizer.
The Zhao Family is a major family, their eldest daughter has always been mysterious, never revealing any information or photos.
The new head of the Zhao Family is a tough character who sent his wife and daughter overseas early on.
From the incomplete information I have, the Zhao Family has had severe internal conflicts over the years, but now that it’s settled, this eldest daughter has returned.
The party you ntioned is likely a trial for putting this eldest daughter in the spotlight."
Shen Zhe’s information wasn’t abundant, but this information couldn’t possibly be known by soone outside their own circle.
If sothing goes wrong at this mariti party, caused by internal strife within the Zhao Family, no matter the reason, both the head of the Zhao Family and the eldest daughter will take a severe hit.
Yun Ran touched her forehead, indeed, where there are people, there are countless struggles.
"I understand, thank you, Captain Shen."
After hanging up the phone, Yun Ran subrged herself into the dicinal bath.
As the efficacy of the dicine gradually integrated into Yun Ran’s body, a warmth mixed with so pain swept over her consciousness, rendering her unable to think about anything else.
After a long while, Yun Ran finally opened her eyes, her body covered in a thin layer of gray mist.
"So true, you get what you pay for. This top-grade dicinal bath, one soak is equivalent to ten before."
After washing up, Yun Ran saw a new WeChat ssage on her phone.
This made her a bit curious; the original host didn’t have many friends, just a plastic bestie, ng Yue.
Last ti at school, ng Yue clearly sided with Si Man, and it would be embarrassing to act as if nothing had happened now.
Upon opening it, she found a string of ssages from Little Fatty.
[Ranran, I’m back at school. Why haven’t I seen you around? I was going to invite you to a al!]
[The whole school is talking about how you played ’dumb and beat the tiger,’ even subduing senior Si Man.]
[When are you returning to school?]
...
Although there were many ssages, Yun Ran didn’t feel annoyed; luckily they were all texts. If they had been voice ssages, that would have been overwhelming.
She imdiately replied with a ssage: [Not returning to school for now.]
The response from the other side was almost instantaneous: [Then when are you free? I’ll treat you to a al, my sister will be there too.]
She could take or leave this al, but she didn’t dislike Little Fatty who was quite a good person.
[I’m free tonight.]
Soon, the other side sent an address and ti.
What Yun Ran didn’t know was that at this mont, Little Fatty on the other side of the phone breathed a huge sigh of relief.
When he returned to school and heard most people talking about how formidable Yun Ran was, he felt proud, since he had already beco friends with Yun Ran beforehand.
However, when he recalled seeing Yun Ran beating up several senior students, sweat appeared on his forehead.
In his mind, the scene of Yun Ran punching through the car seatback on the bus, and his own timid feelings of not daring to offend Yun Ran kept flashing back.
"Zhu Shijia, are you really friends with Yun Ran?"
"Do you know where she learned her martial arts?"
"I heard from others that she used to do fortune telling, is it true? It’s a pity I didn’t go with you guys this ti."
...
Zhu Shijia, faced with the incessant chatter of his classmates inquiring about Yun Ran, would normally not keep a straight face and would have spoken up.
But now, embarrassed, the pressure Yun Ran placed on him was too great; he didn’t dare ntion anything about her.
The rest of the traveling group also tacitly remained silent, never bringing up Yun Ran’s matters.
