The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 114 You get what you pay for
As soon as I returned to the Yun family home, I saw Yun Jingyang sitting in the living room, still holding a tablet and processing emails.

"came back?"

Yun Ran was a little curious. She had been seeing Yun Jingyang at home quite often lately. Was the Yun family not busy these days?

Didn't they say that the Si family is in big trouble now, and many families are starting to frantically erode the Si family's market share? Why is the Yun family still so calm?

"Big brother seems to have some free time lately?"

Actually, the person who was the most idle was Yun Ran; she should have continued going to school.

But she was clearly not a studious person. With Principal Du's approval at school and the Yun family knowing that she had made connections with the Xie family, they didn't interfere much in her affairs.

Now, no one is forcing her to go to school anymore, which is exactly the situation Yunran likes.

Yun Jingyang glanced at Yun Ran. If it were before, he wouldn't have answered Yun Ran's question like that.

Now, all I can say is that when a person has value, every word they say will be responded to.

“If I have to do everything myself, then what are the people in the company for?”

Yun Ran shrugged. Well, she didn't need to ask that question.

Just as they were about to go upstairs, Yun Jingyang suddenly said, "In a few days, come with me to a banquet."

Yunran: ? ? ?
Seeing the bewildered look on Yun Ran's face, Yun Jingyang remained calm and showed no embarrassment whatsoever.

"This is the first public appearance of the daughter of the richest man in South China. The Yun family and the Zhao family, the richest family in South China, also have some business dealings."

Hearing this, Yunran understood. It meant that families of similar status would meet, eat and drink together, and casually discuss cooperation.

"okay, I get it."

Back in her room, Yunran took out the medicinal herbs she had obtained from the Si family and threw them into the bathtub, intending to take a bath.

Suddenly, she remembered what Yun Jingyang had mentioned before: the Zhao family, the richest family in South China, had invited the Yun family.

The place where Tang Mingshan's children had their accident was in the sea area of ​​South China, and it seemed to be some kind of banquet. Could there be any connection?
Just as I was about to ask for more details, my phone rang. It was Shen Zhe calling.

"Ranran, I have checked the information you sent me before. There are no problems on the surface. All the activities have been registered."

However, since you've anticipated something amiss, the higher-ups have decided to send someone over to investigate. The people at the South China branch will fully cooperate.

"Captain Shen, I'd like to ask, is the cocktail party I asked you to investigate related to the Zhao family, the richest family in South China?"

"how do you know?"

Yunran: ...

Alright, it's confirmed. Without any merit to protect her, she was once again entangled in this powerful karma.

Shen Zhe, on the other end of the phone, was clearly unaware of Yun Ran's inner thoughts and continued, "The banquet you mentioned was organized by the South China Chamber of Commerce, with the Zhao family as the organizer."

The Zhao family is a large family, and their eldest daughter has always been very mysterious, with no information or photos ever revealed.

The new head of the Zhao family is a ruthless character who sent his wife and daughters abroad a long time ago.

Based on the incomplete information I have, the internal strife within the Zhao family has been severe over the years, but now it has settled down and the young lady has returned.

The cocktail party you mentioned earlier was most likely a test by the Zhao family to promote this young lady to the forefront.

Shen Zhe didn't provide much information, but it was information that no one but someone on their side could possibly know.

If the incident at this seaside party is caused by internal strife within the Zhao family, regardless of the cause, the head of the Zhao family and the eldest daughter will suffer a severe blow.

Yun Ran rubbed her forehead. Sure enough, wherever there are people, there will be countless struggles. "I know, thank you, Captain Shen."

After hanging up the phone, Yun Ran immediately immersed herself in the medicinal bath.

The medicine gradually seeped into Yunran's body, and a warm feeling mixed with some pain swept over her consciousness, leaving her no mind to think about anything else.

After a long while, Yunran finally opened her eyes, and a layer of hazy gray appeared on her body.

"You really do get what you pay for. This top-quality medicinal bath is equivalent to ten baths in the past, just one soak."

After washing up, Yunran saw a new WeChat message on her phone.

This piqued her curiosity, as the original owner didn't have many friends, only a superficial best friend named Meng Yue.

Last time at school, Meng Yue clearly sided with Si Man. Even if she's shameless, she can't pretend nothing happened now.

Upon opening it, I found a series of messages from the chubby boy.

[Ranran, I'm back at school, but I haven't seen you! I was going to treat you to a meal!]

[The whole school is saying you're pretending to be weak while actually being strong, and you've completely outmaneuvered Senior Si Man.]

When are you going back to school?

……

Although there were many messages, Yunran didn't feel any aversion to them. Fortunately, they were all text messages; if they were all voice messages, she would have been in real trouble.

I immediately replied with a message: 【I'm not going back to school for now.】

The message came back instantly: "When are you free? I'd like to treat you to dinner; my older sister will be there too."

She could choose to eat this meal or not, but the chubby boy was a nice person, and she didn't dislike him.

I'm free tonight.

Shortly after, the other party sent the address and time.

Unbeknownst to Yunran, the chubby boy on the other end of the phone was breathing a huge sigh of relief.

When he returned to school and heard most people talking about how amazing Yunran was, he felt proud, since he had already become friends with Yunran first.

When he saw Yun Ran beating up those senior students, sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.

In his mind, the image of Yun Ran punching through the seat back in the car kept replaying in his mind, as well as his cowardly feeling at the time, not daring to offend Yun Ran.

"Zhu Shijia, are you really friends with Yun Ran?"

"Do you know where she learned her martial arts?"

"I heard from other people that she used to tell fortunes. Is that true? It's such a pity that I didn't go with you this time."

……

Zhu Shijia watched as her classmates chattered incessantly, asking about Yunran.

In the past, given his personality, he definitely wouldn't have given a cold shoulder or made the conversation awkward; he would have at least said a few words.

But now, I'm sorry, Yun Ran is putting a lot of pressure on him, and he doesn't dare to say anything about Yun Ran.

The rest of the study tour group members also tacitly kept quiet and never mentioned Yunran.
