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

Chapter 115 Short-tempered (2nd update)
How many idiots can be among the people who can participate in study tours at this school?

Those from wealthy families are taught by their elders from a young age who they can and cannot offend.

Those who are intelligent know even better what can be said and what cannot be said.

When it was time for dinner, Yunran went to Tianxiang Restaurant.

Looking at the grand and luxurious decorations here, and the aroma of top-grade sandalwood wafting from the lobby, the word "extravagant" is simply insufficient to describe it.

The chubby boy had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Yunran in the distance, he quickly walked forward.

In just over twenty days, the chubby boy had clearly lost a lot of weight, his skin had darkened, but he also looked much stronger.

"My older sister will be here soon. I'll take you to the private room first."

Following the chubby boy to the private room, we found that there was even a rockery and flowing water inside, reminiscent of the ancient Chinese poem "Floating Wine Cups on a Winding Stream," which looked very comfortable.

"Tianxianglou is also a family business, and my eldest sister is currently managing it."

Yunran looked around and saw that the feng shui here was very good. It seemed that the feng shui master worshipped by the Zhu family had really put in the effort.

A short while later, Zhu Xuejun, the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, arrived dressed in a smart suit.

Behind her followed a number of people, all carrying trays.

After the waiters left, Zhu Xuejun finally spoke: "Thank you so much, Yunran, this time. I won't say anything more. If you ever need my help in Haicheng, just let me know!"

[Host, this Zhu Xuejun seems like someone you can get along with.]

Yunran also agreed with this statement. Zhu Xuejun has a good appearance. After getting through that hurdle, things will basically go smoothly for her from now on.

"Thank you, Miss Zhu."

"Hi, what's your name, Miss Zhu? From now on, you and Xiao Jia can both call me 'sister'."

It is said that having more friends means having more options, so Yunran naturally wouldn't mind others taking the initiative to befriend her.

"Thank you, Sister Zhu."

Zhu Xuejun's gaze towards Yun Ran immediately became even more satisfied; she liked this little girl.

Although there were rumors that she had a bad reputation, we are all in this industry, and often, only the parties involved know the truth about things.

Of course, she didn't care whether Yun Ran had a good reputation or not, as long as she liked her.

"These are all top-quality ingredients that I specially reserved for you. See if you like them. If you do, come here often."

This doesn't mean that Yunran should take care of Tianxianglou's business.

Tianxianglou is a very famous restaurant in Haicheng. Ordinary people are not qualified to eat here. If Yunran is invited to come often, it means it's free and she can eat as much as she wants.

"Then I won't be polite."

Zhu Xuejun is capable of managing such a large restaurant, so she is not a traditional, law-abiding young lady.

The more he looked at Yunran, the more he felt that she was genuine, and his affection for Yunran grew even stronger.

Seeing the abundance of delicious food, Yunran didn't stand on ceremony.

The Yun family's chefs were already very skilled, but she never expected that the chefs at Tianxianglou would be even more skilled, making her very satisfied with her meal.

When it was over, Yunran touched her stomach. She hadn't eaten her fill in a long time, and it felt great.

Before leaving, Zhu Xuejun gave Yunran a card: "This is a black diamond card for all restaurants and hotels under the Zhu family. You can spend as much as you want without any limit."

Last time, the chubby boy gave her a card, but she refused. Now that Zhu Xuejun has offered it again, Yun Ran hasn't refused this time. The card given by a young lady raised as an heir carries a different meaning.

This means that the Zhu family is expressing their willingness to befriend Yun Ran, and she naturally has to give them face.

"Then I won't be polite."

Even after seeing Yunran get into the car, the chubby boy's face was still puffed up with anger.

Seeing her younger brother like this, Zhu Xuejun asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Last time I gave her a gift card, she refused to accept it, but when you gave her a gift card, she accepted it!"

The Zhu family has a good family tradition; although there are conflicts within the family, they are all positive.

Otherwise, when she got into trouble, the second branch of the family wouldn't have needed to kick her while she was down; they could have just stood by and watched the first branch of the family fall apart, and then rightfully taken over the Zhu family.

At this moment, Zhu Xuejun also wanted to mentor this younger brother, after all, like father, like son, and like siblings, they fought side by side.

"The cards we give her serve similar purposes, but the meanings are different. The card you give her only represents gratitude; it's purely a monetary gesture."

But I am the current head of Tianxianglou. The card I gave her represents the Zhu family's willingness to befriend her; it's about connections.

The chubby boy was silent for a while. It wasn't that he didn't understand, nor was he the type to get stuck on trivial matters; he just felt a sense of dejection, as if he was really bad at the game.

“When you come of age, Grandpa will give you a restaurant to practice at. During this time, cut off all your unnecessary social interactions and stay by my side to see how I manage the restaurant.”

Yun Ran was unaware that her exceptional talent and radiant presence had cost a young boy a significant amount of his free time.

When I returned to the Yun family home, I was surprised to find Yun Wan there.

"Hmph, as expected, a pheasant can't become a phoenix, and even in a dragon robe, he doesn't look like a prince!"

Yun Ran had already gotten used to Yun Wan's sarcastic and unpredictable manner.

"Just say what you want to say, stop talking nonsense!"

Yun Wan was furious and wanted to slap her, but she knew she couldn't beat Yun Ran, so she could only glare at Yun Ran fiercely.

"What kind of bewitching drug did you give your elder brother? You're just a burden, what right do you have to represent the Yun family's young lady at the Zhao family's banquet?"

Seeing that Yun Wan was clearly on the verge of losing her guard, Yun Ran was immediately filled with joy.

She raised an eyebrow: "Could it be that my brother is only taking me this time? Oh dear, some people are really jealous, they might as well die of jealousy."

I don't know who said it before, "The capable should take the lead." Since your older brother didn't take you, haven't you reflected on your own actions?

Yun Ran is not a kind-hearted person. If she doesn't have the chance, so be it. But if she does, she will definitely give certain people a good stab in the heart.

Sure enough, Yun Wan became increasingly vulnerable. She was the eldest daughter of the Yun family, yet she was being trampled on by a burden.

In Haicheng, or rather, all the prominent families across the country that had business dealings with the Zhao family were invited.

Especially those people from Haicheng, they all knew Yunran's background and how miserable she had been in the past.

If Yun Ran steals the spotlight this time, then she, the eldest daughter of the Yun family, will become a laughing stock in the entire circle.

The mere thought of losing face made Yun Wan so angry that her blood rushed to her head, and she felt a wave of dizziness before her eyes, then she fainted.

Yunran: ...

Good heavens, Yun Wan has such a temper! She fainted from anger after just a few words!
