Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 618: Heartache and Headache (Second Update)
Yun Ran spread her hands: "I only found out not long ago. Besides, I’m an outsider here, how was I to know I’d have to clean up the mess and have a big daddy descend from the sky? Truly, there’s no place for reason!"
Xuan Chu knew that Yun Ran’s current body wasn’t forcefully seized.
But since Yun Ran is using this body, she naturally has to bear this body’s karma.
Thinking of Yun Ran’s Life Chart and all those messy relationships, Xuan Chu felt a twinge of sympathy for the first time.
If only she had better luck, swapped bodies, she wouldn’t have to worry about all these sickening issues.
Xuan Chu suddenly planned to offer some comfort: "Forget it, lighten up. At least, now you’re young and promising."
Yun Ran: ...
For the first time, she felt someone’s comfort sounded so grating, like a green tea!
"Heartfelt suggestion, next time your Heavenly Dao Village trains kids, add an emotional intelligence class!"
Being disdained by Yun Ran, Xuan Chu let it pass in one ear and out the other. His core was stable, never consuming energy from others’ words.
On the other side, Ah Ding had just returned, only to get a tap on the head from his boss.
"You’re courting death, you wretched brat! Even dared to defy orders guarding the young lady’s door. If you want to die, don’t drag me along!!!"
Ah Ding originally didn’t want anyone to see him beaten like a pig’s head by the young lady’s Little Paperman, hence kept his head down.
But now, he couldn’t take the blame.
Instantly, he raised his head, just about to speak, but the pain from the torn corners of his mouth by the Little Paperman kicked in.
"Ow~ Bro, I didn’t, don’t accuse me!"
His boss, furious as ever, upon seeing Ah Ding’s bruised and swollen face, couldn’t help but roar: "Who did this!?"
"Such nerve, daring to beat you like this!"
Ah Ding hurriedly pulled at his boss’s clothes: "Bro, keep your voice down!!!"
Finally, unable to withstand his boss’s vicious gaze, he stammered out the story.
"So you were sneaking around the young lady’s villa, got caught by her people, and then beaten up by her magic artifact?"
Ah Ding looked at his boss with resentment, wondering why repeat the point knowing the story wasn’t helping.
"Okay, you hurry and apply some medicine, leave the rest to me!"
Saying this, his boss rushed off to report. The young lady had arrived in Huannan, their stronghold, must inform the gentleman.
Shen Jun, living in the darkroom, paused slightly upon hearing Yun Ran arrived at Huannan.
Although he really wanted to see Yun Ran, he was injured by the Black Robed People adept in Fire Techniques.
Being alive was already fortunate; now he couldn’t face sunlight, otherwise, his body would burn painfully.
This darkroom was crafted with countless manpower and resources for him.
Forcing him to linger till now; if not for the obsession in his heart, he wouldn’t have survived.
"Since she specially instructed Ah Ding to keep quiet, let’s pretend we don’t know. I can’t see her like this now."
After the darkroom returned to silence, Shen Jun firmly removed the mask on his face.
His people had found some medicine beforehand, stopping him from enduring constant pain daily. But recovery is too hard, this darkroom was now a lifetime abode.
After a while, Shen Jun discarded the mask, gazing at the photograph on the desk, where Yun Ran smiled brightly.
Near his own daughter, yet unable to meet, deepened Shen Jun’s hatred threefold.
Following Shen Jun’s order, his men deliberately avoided the villa area of Yun Ran.
Simultaneously, cut off the message channels intentionally or unintentionally.
This way, the news of Yun Ran arriving at Huannan was thoroughly silenced.
While Yun Ran was leisurely enjoying the seaside villa, Gu Yuan was miserably exhausted.
After two consecutive sleepless nights, Gu Yuan finally could rest, but found Lin Xiang’er squatting at his door.
Her tear-streaked face made him both sympathetic and frustrated.
Even though he didn’t know why he felt sympathetic, he knew Lin Xiang’er had big problems.
If not for casting a long line for big fish, he truly wouldn’t want to see this woman for a second, too bizarre.
"Brother Lu~"
Gu Yuan and Lu Zhen swapped identities, hence in Lin Xiang’er’s eyes, Gu Yuan was Brother Lu.
This voice immediately gave Gu Yuan goosebumps.
Previously, he often felt defeated because Yun Ran was reluctant to call him brother.
Now, ha, heaven help him if anyone casually calls him brother, he’ll twist off their head!
"Brother Lu, do you know where Gu Chu is? I just want to thank him for saving me.
If not for him descending like a deity to save me, who knows my fate now. Why does he always avoid me?"
Gu Yuan immediately internally complained: How could he not avoid you? You’re like a sticky plaster, even he couldn’t stand it, let alone Lu Zhen who values his reputation.
Despite having countless snarky thoughts, Gu Yuan couldn’t outright say them, still had to kindly soothe.
"Miss Lin, don’t overthink it, Gu Chu is just too busy."
At this moment, Gu Yuan was immensely thankful, fortunate to have swapped identities with Lu Zhen.
That guy’s Dao Heart is firm; put anyone else in his place, called tenderly "brother" daily, who’d know if they might cave in.
Even he dared not claim he’d definitely withstand such an odd character.
"Well, I’ve got matters, please head back and rest, I’ll inform him once Gu Chu returns!"
With that, Gu Yuan bolted away, even forgoing sleep temporarily.
Lin Xiang’er watched Gu Yuan disappear instantly, her eyes slightly red, suddenly filled with hostility as she stomped her foot hard.
"Damn it, why are none of them biting? Is the Love Poison not working?"
Gu Yuan searched around, when he saw Lu Zhen munching chicken feet, instantly infuriated.
Yet Lu Zhen sensed no warning, grinning wide: "Boss, these chicken feet taste authentic, try some!"
Gu Yuan glared at Lu Zhen fiercely, snatched the plate of chicken feet to himself, then spat fiercely.
"I’ve covered these with my saliva, now it’s all mine!"
Lu Zhen: ...
"Boss, did I offend you somehow?"
Gu Yuan took a bite of the chicken foot, gnawed a bit, and spat out the bones before speaking: "That Lin Xiang’er couldn’t find you, so she pestered me."
Lu Zhen’s brow furrowed slightly, evidently displeased with Lin Xiang’er, not even willing to utter a word about her as bait.
