Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 201 - 200: Lazing Around Without Motivation

Whoever realizes they are about to lose a fortune would be scared into breaking a cold sweat—this is surely the cruelest punishment of all.

It would seem that staying here for long is inadvisable, even if this small courtyard has been reinforced with a special Array that generally goes unnoticed by most people.

But just the thought of losing money made Yun Ran feel like her butt was on fire. She hastily grabbed her things and ran off toward Yun Jinyang’s place.

Yun Jinyang was born into wealth and could help her fend off these misfortunes.

The Tan Family people had been watching from the shadows, only intending to show up at a crucial moment. Unexpectedly, they ended up witnessing firsthand what it means when even a powerful dragon can’t overpower a local tyrant.

Fearing that unnecessary misunderstandings could arise, the Tan Family people had no choice but to reveal themselves and negotiate with the White-tailed Eagle’s people. Eventually, both parties agreed to search for Yun Ran together.

The people of the White-tailed Eagle, true to their reputation as the local tyrants, managed to track her down to the vicinity of the small courtyard after a bit of investigation.

Unfortunately, they were one step too late, and Yun Ran had already vanished into thin air.

The entire small town had been searched, without any sight of Yun Ran. Were it not for the fact that she had indeed paid the management fee earlier, they would have suspected that this Lady Yun was a fictional character.

"This Lady Yun is really good at hiding~"

The Tan Family people were completely out of temper now. They now had some understanding of why their master could become friends with this Lady Yun.

Leaving other things aside, just considering Lady Yun’s ability to escape, if placed on a world ranking list, she would certainly rank at the top.

With such "outstanding" qualities, she indeed had the right to be friends with their master.

Just then, the Tan Family leader received an order from their superiors to withdraw.

"Aren’t we looking for Lady Yun anymore?"

The person on the phone was silent for a few seconds, seemingly speechless or perhaps feeling something else.

The tone of voice carried an indistinct emotion: "Lady Yun is currently at the negotiation site between the Xiyeno Family and the Yun Family."

The person on the call also fell into silence. Here they were, turning the whole town upside down, only to find out she had already left.

This rendered them somewhat useless; not only had they been unable to find her, but they were even unaware of Yun Ran’s straightforward departure from the town.

As members of the Tan Family, none of them had ever experienced such a stupefying defeat.

"I understand, I’ll withdraw everyone right away!"

Tan Chengbi, knowing that the people he sent out were utterly useless, wasn’t angry but actually felt somewhat relieved.

Having your own abilities is the best; relying on others is never sustainable.

After thinking it over, Tan Chengbi decided to go to the negotiation site as well, especially since the Bartley family members were there, and his presence wouldn’t be out of place.

"Have someone arrange it, I’m going to be a witness~"

"No, young master, I am still a patient here, didn’t you say to let me rest for a few days?"

Tan Chengbi glanced at his shocked assistant: "You can arrange things while lying in bed too!"

The assistant, currently in bed: ...

As the number one lackey, how could he have the nerve to stay at home while the young master was going out? Even if his leg was broken, he would have them carry him there.

In the end, the assistant wasn’t carried out, but instead was seated in the world’s most advanced fully automatic wheelchair.

It kept up with the young master’s pace; the only downside was having to look up at his master’s face, which felt a bit silly.

Right now, Yun Ran sat behind Yun Jinyang, beside his third assistant, secretly wearing earplugs and playing on her mobile phone, totally relaxed and unaware of outside matters.

Yun Jinyang and the Xiyeno Natsuo sat like a pair of stoic eagles, while the people they brought were arguing incessantly.

It appeared that the Yun Family had the upper hand for the time being, as Barry Rolls, who looked no different from a disheveled old man, was beating back the Xiyeno Family’s people retreat after retreat.

The third assistant poked Yun Ran’s shoulder, indicating that she should look across to the not-too-distant other side.

Looking up, she met Tan Chengbi’s smiling face and his waving gesture, as though he had been waving at her for quite some time.

"Miss Third, do you know the people of the Tan Family?"

"The one waving at me?"

The third assistant hurriedly nodded. He himself was a top scholar who had studied abroad and had been recruited back by the eldest son with a high salary.

Though called an assistant, he was responsible for a multitude of tasks, earning almost as much as the senior executives.

His knowledge was naturally different; he might not recognize all the young masters and young ladies of the Tan Family, but he knew the people the Tan Family dealt with for external affairs.

The middle-aged man standing beside Tan Chengbi was someone the third assistant had seen before, of course, he wasn’t qualified to speak with the man.

It was at another banquet that he had seen him, and now seeing this person stand so respectfully behind Tan Chengbi, he could guess that the young man must be from the Tan Family—although it was unclear whether he was from the main branch or a side branch.

Yun Ran looked around, somewhat puzzled, "Wasn’t it said this place is heavily guarded and not just anyone can enter?"

She had gone through several levels of checks to enter, and it was only after Yun Jinyang’s assistant personally came to fetch her that she was able to get in.

Now, seeing Tan Chengbi’s entourage of at least thirty people so easily enter, it seems puzzling.

Even if the arguing between the Yun Family and Xiyeno Family was a bit loud, it shouldn’t have allowed dozens of people to pass through scrutiny without her noticing.

The third assistant looked helplessly at Yun Ran. He hadn’t previously interacted with the third mistress and indeed believed the rumors about her. freewēbnoveℓ.com

But now, he wanted to say, who is spreading these rumors? The third mistress is not aggressive or competitive; she’s clearly someone who likes to neglect duties and lacks ambition.

He had spelled out the identities of the people opposite them, yet the third mistress still managed to ask such a low-level question.

He missed the point that she knew the people from the Tan Family—such an ’adorably clueless’ third mistress could not have a wicked heart.

"Some rules, Miss Third, are for those who abide by them."

Yun Ran: ...

Alright, she understood, the other party’s status is amazing.

No wonder he could come in quietly without being noticed by her.

However, since the other side didn’t feel the need to pretend not to know her, she would have to reciprocate their enthusiasm.

She stood up from her seat and stealthily made her way towards Tan Chengbi, careful not to disturb the arguing parties.

The third assistant, unable to stop her in time, could not approach the Tan Family people so casually and could only watch helplessly as Yun Ran departed.

Tan Chengbi, seeing Yun Ran approaching, noticed that his bodyguards became alert. He waved his hand: "Don’t be nervous, she’s my friend."
