Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 704: Power Truly Is a Wonderful Thing
The disgruntled members of the second branch of the Yun Family were warned by their husbands (or fathers).
Rationally, they knew that Yun Ran was currently in the spotlight, and they needed to avoid confrontation.
But emotionally, they found it hard to accept that the person who used to be a joke now required them to put on a smiling face, which felt no different than being slapped in the face.
The head of the second branch, knowing the behavior of his wife and daughter, saw more guests arriving.
He could only glare at his wife and daughter again: "All of you, behave yourselves. Today, even if you’re pretending, you have to pretend to be happy!"
After saying these words, he hurriedly left. Many people who he usually had no chance to meet had arrived today, so he had to make acquaintances.
When Yun Ran arrived, from a distance she could see all the Yun Family members were terribly busy, their smiles almost splitting their faces.
Seeing the crowd, Yun Ran couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, power is truly a wonderful thing.
Xuan Chu followed Yun Ran’s gaze and teased with a good mood: "It seems that anyone with a bit of standing in Hai City has shown up.
Clicking his tongue, it’s fortunate this hilltop hotel is large enough, otherwise it would be no different from those vacation spots crowded with people."
Yun Ran looked somewhat speechless at Xuan Chu.
Whether it was an illusion or not, she felt that Xuan Chu had changed a bit since returning to Hai City with her, although she couldn’t specify what was different.
But now, she felt that there was something shameless about him.
"After all, I am now the temple master of Qingfeng Temple, and the Yun Family, riding on my coattails, has had some interactions with the Wang Family in the Capital City.
Now the Yun Family is doing me a favor, it is merely giving a gift. In all of Hai City, anyone who’s not a mortal enemy with the Yun Family has to give some face, right?"
The hilltop hotel had already set up exclusive passages for the Yun Family and important guests, sparing them from squeezing through the crowd.
Yun Ran went to the hotel room prepared for her, standing on the balcony, she could watch the bustling scene below in its entirety.
Xuan Chu, holding a glass of champagne, sidled up shamelessly, looking at two young ladies downstairs who looked identical.
"Those two are the eldest and second young miss of your Yun Family? I heard you don’t get along well, but surprisingly, both of them are here to support you today."
Yun Wan and Yun Qing, smiling, clinking glasses with everyone, showed no trace of reluctance to anyone.
"Of course, it’s because they were conquered by my charm."
Downstairs, Yun Wan and Yun Qing, chatting away, suddenly felt a chill down their spines, as if being watched by something.
If it were before, with their temperament, their expressions would have changed dramatically by now.
But now, after Yun Wan was disciplined by Yun Ran, and Yun Qing having experienced life and death, almost having all her shares taken by her big brother,
they were no longer the self-important heiresses they once were.
Not to mention feeling a chill down their spines, even if someone died in front of them now, they could still calmly continue to laugh and chat.
This must be what it looks like to smarten up after being beaten by social reality. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
"Knock knock knock..."
The door of the lounge was knocked, and Xuan Chu at this moment not only played the role of Yun Ran’s bodyguard but also her assistant.
Because there are too many ordinary people here, the existence of small papermen cannot be easily revealed.
Therefore, Xuan Chu resignedly went to open the door.
Yun Jinyang wearing a well-tailored bespoke suit, as soon as the door opened, he saw Yun Ran standing by the balcony.
She wasn’t wearing the dresses he had sent over, which were most suitable for young girls.
However, Yun Jinyang had no objection. Today’s coming-of-age ceremony was the Yun Family doing a favor for Yun Ran, naturally, everything was according to her preferences.
Not to mention Yun Ran was wearing a luxury outfit now, even if she wanted to wear rags, everyone would gracefully compliment her creativity.
"Big brother, why did you come over?"
Yun Ran withdrew her gaze from outside the balcony, returned to the lounge, and greeted Yun Jinyang with a smile.
"I heard from the staff you arrived, so I came to check on you. Besides, Principal Du and the others have arrived, do you want to go see them?"
If it were other people, Yun Ran might not meet them, but for Principal Du, she had to show some respect.
"Alright, I’ll go with you."
As they left, a little paperman sneaked out from Yun Ran’s pocket.
As the lounge door closed, the sneaky little paperman seemed to gasp for breath after holding it for so long.
With all the buzz downstairs, the little paperman, who loved to join the fun, plastered itself on the balcony’s pillar, observing the people below with interest.
Whether on TV or in those novels, it’s often said these kinds of banquets have the most drama.
The little paperman was thinking it could see a lot of gossip when it heard rustling noises coming from downstairs.
With intense curiosity, the little paperman hugged the pillar, kicked its legs, and slipped down just right to see the window from which the noise came.
"Please, spare me, I really didn’t mean it."
A young girl in a server’s uniform, face full of tears, looked at the extravagant young socialites before her.
The leading one had a face full of malice.
"You say it wasn’t intentional, so it wasn’t? Do you know how much this dress is worth? Even if we sell you, you couldn’t afford it!"
Her followers naturally echoed.
"Exactly, I know girls like you, with that pitiful look thinking you can become a phoenix."
"So disgusting. Knowing our Yaoyao and Senior Ming He are engaged, everywhere you go, there you are!"
"Shameless, is this a place for you? Working as a waitress at the bar, now serving at this hilltop hotel, how many people are you trying to snare!"
...
Countless demeaning and cursing words reached the little paperman’s ears.
At first, it thought it was a hair-pulling drama, but after watching for a while, it understood that this was bullying!
Yet none of this inspired much sense of justice in the little paperman.
Its gaze focused entirely on the young server being bullied, as she emanated a faint halo.
Just as the little paperman tried to discern the source of the glow, it suddenly surged towards it.
