Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 238 - 237: Our Ranran? (2nd Update)

Gu Yuan now considered himself as Yun Ran’s half-brother with a different father, and someone was bullying his sister—how could he bear it?

After hanging up the phone, he hurried to Xie Xuzhi to apply medicine to his eyes.

"Boss, look at these people. Aren’t they just relying on their connections to target our Ranran?

Luckily our Ranran is talented both in letters and arms. Otherwise, she would have really suffered. I’m just afraid that the Yang Family’s connections in Kyoto might take action against our Ranran..."

Xie Xuzhi put down the documents in his hand, his brow slightly furrowed: "Our Ranran?"

Gu Yuan was interrupted and hesitated, unsure of what he had said wrong.

"Huh?"

"Since when have you and Yun Ran become so close?"

When did the boss start caring about such matters? ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Gu Yuan was initially applying eye medicine, but this question stunned him.

Still, he answered honestly: "Ranran and I are life-and-death friends; we are half-siblings with different fathers."

Xie Xuzhi looked at Gu Yuan with some disdain: "You’re underestimating her. If she needs help, she will ask for it herself. There’s no need for you to fawn over her here."

Gu Yuan: ...

Why does the boss look at him as if he’s looking at an idiot?

Since the boss already knows, he doesn’t need to worry too much.

It’s different if the boss doesn’t know, but knowing it, the boss is very protective.

However, Gu Yuan still secretly had someone keep an eye on the Wang and Zhou Families to prevent them from interfering and affecting Yun Ran’s performance.

Yun Ran had just finished breakfast when she received a message from Yun Jinyang’s assistant—people from the Yang Family were more impatient than she had expected.

Oh, it’s not so much impatience as it is that they are unconcerned.

"Third Miss, the Yang Family has proposed a partnership."

Yun Ran chuckled lightly: "No matter what they propose, just make it difficult for them; for the rest, you can play it by ear."

Her adversaries couldn’t wait to kill her, and she was just as eager to deal with them swiftly.

The experienced bodyguard had a strong perception of murderous intent.

Although Yun Ran was smiling at the moment, he could feel the killing intent bursting from her, which was enough to startle even someone like him.

"Lady Yun..."

"Go check the situation of the Wang and Zhou Families; don’t let them mess up my plans."

The book she transmigrated into mainly revolves around Qu Ying and Yun Shaotang, with very little mention of the Four Great Families of Kyoto.

But she wasn’t ignorant—such top-tier aristocratic families, even if on par with each other, definitely did a lot of tripping each other up in the shadows.

Some of her information, targeting certain individuals, could be temporarily cut off.

But such disruption of information couldn’t fool those at the very top.

Aside from their family’s secrets, other information is almost transparent to people of their level.

Now that she stands with the Xie Family, others naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity to suppress her.

The bodyguard instantly understood Yun Ran’s intentions.

People from the Wang and Zhou Families had come to Hai City; indeed, they had heard some rumors.

Now they needed to ascertain where they were, at least to be wary of any stabs in the back.

"Alright, I’ll have someone check on that."

No sooner had the two returned to Imperial Cauldron Club than the whereabouts of the Wang and Zhou Family members were discovered.

Such speed—only at this moment did Yun Ran truly realize that Xie Xuzhi, the Deputy Director of the Special Administration Bureau Headquarters, hadn’t been idling during his time in Hai City.

Wang Qianyu and Zhou Ying, who were being investigated, naturally received the information as well.

On one hand, it was because Yun Ran had those who were investigating deliberately show their hand.

On the other hand, it was because the Wang and Zhou Families weren’t pushovers either, and there were very few who could inquire about them without alerting their people.

"Ayue, do you think Yun Ran is discreetly warning us, letting us know she’s aware we’re in Hai City, telling us to behave and not to mess with her?"

Wang Qianyu sat cross-legged on a rosewood divan, leisurely sipping the tribute tea that only emperors could enjoy in ancient times, exuding a relaxed demeanor.

He seemed completely unfazed by the matter at hand.

"Her attitude is irrelevant. Our objective has always been Xie Xuzhi of the Xie Family. If he doesn’t make a move, we naturally won’t."

Who would have thought that a branch member of the Xie Family could be so formidable that the main branches of the Wang and Zhou Families had to come out to suppress him.

Mentioning Xie Xuzhi, Zhou Ying’s emotions were also slightly affected.

"The Jing Family of Hai City, the Zhao Family of Huannan, the richest families of the two regions, have all been raided by that Xie Xuzhi. How could a branch member have the courage to do this?"

Wang Qianyu chuckled: "What of a branch member? Among the direct descendants of the Four Great Families of Kyoto, there are plenty of incompetents.

Moreover, Young Master Xie of the Xie Family is not only good at scheming but also good at using people. He has never shown his face for many years, but no one dares to challenge the Xie Family.

Having a formidable branch member take charge of the Special Administration Bureau, moving unrestrictedly, has already given him a head start."

The Four Great Families of Kyoto were once on equal footing, but over the years, with Young Master Xie, the Xie Family has taken a leading position.

If left unchecked, the Xie Family would eventually surpass them all.

Zhou Ying also sat down and casually poured himself a cup of tea.

"To be honest, I’m curious whether Xie Xuzhi will confront the other aristocratic families of Kyoto for the sake of a negligible subordinate like Yun Ran."

"Then let’s give him a hand."

The two exchanged a smile, clearly having made a plan.

When Yun Ran and the Yang Family are at each other’s throats, they will add fuel to the fire, forcing Xie Xuzhi to step in to protect Yun Ran.

Disputes between the Xie Family and other aristocratic families, no matter who wins or who loses, would not bode well for the Xie Family.

The Yang Family was acting urgently. If Yun Ran were truly a beloved and prestigious young lady, perhaps the Yang Family Master would be willing to be patient and accommodating.

But now, Yun Ran’s flaws are like a fishbone in the throat for the Yang Family Master, who is known for ’perfectionism.’

If he doesn’t whip Yun Ran and hear her screams, he feels as if ants are biting him, making him unbearably agitated.

In the struggle for interests, Yun Jinyang almost blew his cover several times.

For someone like Yun Jinyang, who has a bit of pride, the Yang Family Master is like a malignant tumor.

But in order not to affect Yun Ran’s plans, he had to keep a stern face.

Inadvertently, it created an illusion for the other side—that the Yun Family was eager to sell Yun Ran at a good price.

Unbeknownst to them, this further agitated the Yang Family Master, who was becoming increasingly eager to torture Yun Ran to vent his frustration.
