Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 649: So, She Knew Everything All Along~
Hearing the angry shout on the other end of the phone, Zhang Weilin was somewhat dumbfounded.
Ever since she was young, no matter what she did, her father always unconditionally helped her clean up the aftermath.
The Family Head of Zhang Family waited for a long while but did not get a response, and his patience was completely exhausted.
He shouted again towards the phone: "Are you deaf!!!"
Zhang Weilin never imagined that one day, her father’s anger would be directed at her, and a wave of unease welled up in her heart.
"Dad, why are you yelling at me like this?"
In the past, Zhang Weilin was the treasure in the palm of the Family Head of Zhang Family. Those she bullied were, in his eyes, nothing more than ants.
He genuinely believed that anyone fortunate enough to be bullied by his precious daughter was lucky.
But now that Zhang Weilin has crossed someone she couldn’t suppress, the Family Head’s previous indifference and mockery had all become a boomerang.
"Now, tell me exactly what you did!"
Listening to her father’s obviously repressed anger, Zhang Weilin didn’t dare continue acting spoiled.
Despite having a bad feeling, she still asked with a bit of hope: "Dad, what do you mean, what could I have done?"
"Yun Ran accepted the compensation but refused to sign the reconciliation agreement. She even asked your third uncle to come back and question what you did!"
At this point, Zhang Weilin had no trace of hope left, as overwhelming regret filled her heart.
She regretted underestimating Yun Ran and acting rashly.
She and Zhao Mingzhu were truly ’kindred spirits.’ The two of them committed several outlaw acts abroad.
But due to their unusual status, they always managed to escape unscathed.
This gave them the illusion of being above everyone else, as if the world would make way for them regardless of what they did.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t live abroad forever. Reaching a certain age, they had to return and bear their responsibilities.
When Zhao Mingzhu introduced Yun Ran to those in their circle, she knew that Yun Ran was Zhao Mingzhu’s prey.
Zhang Weilin even bet with friends about when Yun Ran would die, and when the Yun Family would go bankrupt.
Unfortunately, she only received news of the Zhao Family being suppressed and Zhao Mingzhu’s sudden disappearance.
Yet Yun Ran, whom Zhao Mingzhu considered an ant, was still alive and well.
She didn’t know the truth behind the fall of the Zhao Family, but that didn’t stop her from disliking Yun Ran.
Yun Ran’s very presence seemed to be a constant reminder to her.
The little group that thrived abroad, upon returning home, became tigers without claws or teeth.
Eliminating Yun Ran was not just fulfilling Zhao Mingzhu’s unfinished business; it was also due to her own pent-up frustrations.
The moment she saw Yun Ran, the violent surge in her heart rose again, and every cell in her body screamed to tear Yun Ran apart.
Never did Zhang Weilin expect that Yun Ran would be so sharp and bold enough to retaliate!
Her hand holding the phone immediately showed bulging veins.
In another year, she was to marry an aristocratic family in the Capital City on behalf of the Zhang Family, which wasn’t the life she wanted.
Instantly, Zhang Weilin shed her usual charming facade, her voice taking on a slightly cold cruelty.
"What could I do? I just wanted her dead. I didn’t expect her to be so bold; no wonder Mingzhu didn’t succeed before."
The Family Head of Zhang Family knew his daughter wasn’t benevolent but never thought she’d say such cold words.
Shock now completely overwhelmed his anger, his tone tinged with uncertainty: "What did you say?"
"I said I wanted her dead, but unfortunately, whether it was the little ghosts I raised or hiring someone to kill her, none succeeded. I thought it was a coincidence, but she knew all along~"
At this point, the Family Head of Zhang Family was truly at his wits’ end: "You’re crazy!"
Of course, he didn’t care whether his daughter raised little ghosts or hired an assassin.
What mattered was that what his daughter did had been uncovered.
"If what you did is found out by people in the Capital City, everything we’ve worked for will be wasted!!!"
For people of aristocratic families, maintaining face is paramount.
Though they may get involved in dirty dealings in private, nothing should surface in public; appearances must always remain clean.
If Zhang Weilin’s dealings with little ghosts and assassins were made public, no self-respecting aristocratic family would want someone like that as the young mistress!
At this moment, the Family Head of Zhang Family was genuinely about to lose his mind. Now, the critical thing was to suppress this matter.
"I’ll deal with you when I get back!"
With that, he hung up the phone directly and called Zhang San again.
Families like theirs naturally have people to handle matters that can’t be publicized.
When Zhang San saw the Family Head calling, he quickly answered. To be honest, he was also curious about what the young lady had done.
Until he heard the Family Head’s words over the phone, Zhang San felt his blood nearly run cold.
Even someone as cautious as him had his mind muddled for a moment.
When he found out that Yun Ran was the temple master of Qingfeng Temple, Zhang San didn’t panic at all.
In the Xuan Sect, the more prominent someone is, the less likely they are to use treacherous tricks against ordinary people.
Now, since their young lady was the first to use deceitful tricks, any retaliation by Yun Ran after this could not be blamed on either the Special Administration Bureau or the Xuan Sect Alliance.
"Old Three, I don’t care what method you use, but you must get Yun Ran to sign the reconciliation agreement; otherwise, don’t come back!"
Looking at the disconnected call, Zhang San, known to the outside world as a mad dog, found his head spinning in confusion.
The other Zhang Family members in the car didn’t know what happened, but seeing Zhang San’s expression, they instantly felt a bad premonition in their hearts.
"Third Uncle, what’s wrong?"
"Is the Family Head upset we didn’t get the reconciliation agreement signed? But this isn’t entirely our fault; that Yun Ran doesn’t seem easy to deal with..."
Zhang San, at this time, couldn’t listen to any comforting words and shouted directly: "Stop the car!"
With his words, the car gradually pulled over and stopped.
Zhang San ignored the others and opened the car door directly.
The sun outside was scorching, but Zhang San still felt the coldness in his body hadn’t dissipated.
All he could think about now was, if he were Yun Ran, holding onto such leverage and standing on the moral high ground, what would he do?
Now, it seemed any previous neglect by Yun Ran towards them could be considered an act of kindness.
