Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 646: Iβm Really Easy to Talk To (Second Update)
Xuan Chu, having finished his business, came out to see Erdan being petted by Yun Ran, who was making kissing noises.
"Good boy, if you keep being this good, Iβll give you a Solid Essence Pill every day, okay?" π³ππ²ππ¨ππ―πππ§ππΉ.π°πΌπ
Xuan Chu: ...
This Erdan, acting all naive and sweet, had been hit by Yunβs βsugar-coated bulletsβ.
This scene reminded him of how he too had gradually fallen into Yun Ranβs elaborate schemes before.
Xuan Chu sighed and shook his head slightly, already able to foresee that Erdan was destined to be the next one sold by Yun Ran, while still helping her count money.
If not for the Heavenly Dao Origin absorbed by Erdan, which couldnβt be extracted.
He wouldnβt be turning a blind eye to Erdan becoming Yun Ranβs accessory.
Yun Ran, noticing Xuan Chuβs complex expression, knew he wouldnβt expose her intentions. She picked up Erdan and was ready to go back to the room to rest.
That night, Yun Ran slept well, and Erdan, lulled by a Solid Essence Pill from Yun Ran, slept like a log.
But none of the other people involved with Yun Ran had a restful night.
Yun Ranβs identity, after that night, was known by only a few people who realized she was the master of Qingfeng Temple, backed by the Xie Family.
The majority only found out she was the Third Miss of the Hai City Yun Family.
Among ladies like Zhang Weilin and Chu Feifei, that status wouldnβt even secure her a role as a sidekick.
"Is this Yun Ran out of her mind? Even if the Hai City Yun Family is doing well recently, their foundation is still shallow. How does she dare confront Miss Zhang and reject Miss Chuβs alliance?"
"I think sheβs either naive or has someone supporting her behind the scenes. What do you guys think it is?"
"I heard sheβs a stepdaughter of the Hai City Yun Family, and her reputation isnβt great. Surely itβs because sheβs too naive and doesnβt know the height of the heavens!"
"Miss Chu was originally planning to humiliate Miss Zhang, but unexpectedly, the stage was set, and the performer didnβt show up, making a big fool of herself."
...
In the circles of these second and third generations, few knew Yun Ran had someone behind her.
Many of their familyβs elders dismissed it as βchildren being unrulyβ.
As long as they didnβt involve themselves, Yun Ran standing alone against so many people deserved what she got.
If Yun Ran couldnβt afford to lose and used her status to oppress people, it would be her humiliation.
They never considered Yun Ran might win. After all, she was just one person.
Unfortunately, their imaginations were hopeful, but the reality was that Yun Ran didnβt play by the normal rules at all.
The next morning, someone had already found Yun Ranβs address and came trying to make acquaintances.
Until they saw the address of Yun Ranβs villa, they were all left dumbfounded.
"No way, how is Yun Ran the owner of that seaside villa!"
Despite Huannan being large, exquisite locations were limited and mostly taken by the elite class.
It essentially required birthright to own such places.
Unless a family fell from grace, properties like these never entered the market.
After the Zhao Family was suppressed, many industries and properties changed hands, taken by powerful family forces.
The seaside villa under Yun Ranβs name was known to be the Zhao Familyβs auspicious place, passed down for over a hundred years, later receiving lavish maintenance. Just the private beach was immensely valuable.
The Zhao Family never disclosed this place publicly. Only the direct lineage of the Zhao Family had the chance to visit here annually.
Such a prime location was naturally coveted, but no family in Huannan had managed to seize it.
Now, this place was in the hands of the Hai City Yun Familyβs little Third Miss.
If this was a coincidence, it would truly insult their intelligence.
The second-generation and third-generation playboys who previously boasted about teaching Yun Ran a lesson were left speechless.
They usually acted with arrogance, but they knew when to respect the major and minor power players.
Soon, the narrative in the Huannan circles of second and third generations changed entirely.
"Too bad we didnβt get to meet Third Miss Yun yesterday. Maybe we couldβve become friends."
"I heard Third Miss Yun is still a student; coincidentally, my younger brother just got an international Olympiad gold medal. They should have common topics!"
"My younger sister is also in high school. I heard students these days enjoy study tours. I wonder if Third Miss Yun would be interested..."
Though Xuan Chu didnβt leave the house, the outside developments were quickly reported to him.
Watching Yun Ran devour her breakfast.
Xuan Chu hesitated but then looked at her.
"If you have something to say, just say it. I donβt have a rule against speaking while eating."
"When you had things delivered here earlier, did you already predict that those people would investigate? And once they discovered youβre the villa owner..."
After finishing a basket of dumplings, Yun Ran wiped her mouth and said, "Sometimes, using power against power is a strategy.
Rather than jumping around boasting about my prowess to them, itβs better to let them investigate. They love filling in the blanks themselves.
By then, I wonβt even need to say anything. Theyβll restrain their claws and face me with smiles."
Now, without doing anything, sheβs already made them back down, knowing what they should or shouldnβt do. Isnβt that great?
Xuan Chu couldnβt help but admire Yun Ranβs skills in manipulating peopleβs minds to such a masterful degree.
Luckily, he and Yun Ran werenβt sworn enemies. Otherwise, he might find himself being spun in circles by her.
"When do you think the Zhang Family will come to visit?"
Yun Ran glanced at the sunlight outside the French window. Although it was still morning, the sun was already scorching.
"Probably before noon. But as long as they come, Iβm quite agreeable."
Xuan Chu just listened to this.
Now, he clearly understood that Yun Ran could be quite laid-back sometimes, but other times, she could be petty.
If the Zhang Family came late, Yun Ran might not openly hold it against them.
But she would definitely remember, and given the chance, she would absolutely make the Zhang Family pay for it.
