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

Chapter 233 Old ginger is spicier

The Yang family head and his group considered themselves to be patient people; they enjoyed watching their prey walk into their territory on its own.

But Yunran and the chubby boy were clearly different from the people they had encountered before.

When others enter this banquet hall, even those of the same status as the head of the Yang family, they will restrain their temper and greet everyone present politely.

Yun Ran completely ignored the important figures in the banquet hall, not only refusing to greet them but also not even glancing at them.

Feeling guilty and lacking confidence? Not at all. She's very confident. Even when Xie Xuzhi and other members of the Xie family offended her, she dared to give them the cold shoulder, let alone these people.

And the chubby kid, with no real power, wasn't qualified to introduce Yunran to them.

The two of them, like a special pair, headed casually towards the small hall where the old master of the Zhu family was.

Wang Qianyu, who came downstairs, burst out laughing: "This Yun Ran is quite interesting. If it were anyone else entering a place where such important people gather..."

Regardless of her temperament, she would put on a brave face and show her good manners, greeting these people she could never have reached before.

She treated these people like they were nothing and just left. Being looked down upon by an unknown nobody, these people were thoroughly humiliated.

I don't know if this is her true nature, or if she's relying on Xie Xuzhi's influence and thinks she can do whatever she wants in Haicheng.

Someone downstairs saw Wang Qianyu and wanted to go up and flatter him, but was stopped by his gaze.

Today, he is here using the identity of a nephew or niece who is a supporter of the Wang family.

I just wanted to see how the other families in Haicheng would react after the Jing family, the richest family in Haicheng, lost because of Xie Xuzhi.

It's a rare opportunity for so many people to gather together, so naturally he wanted to join in the fun. Of course, it would be even better if he could cause some minor trouble.

Yunran and the chubby boy entered the small hall where the Zhu family patriarch was. Only after the door was closed did those who had been watching Yunran avert their gaze.

It is said that when a whale falls, all things are born. After the Jing family fell, the Zhu family, through some unknown means, managed to get the lion's share. This is why everyone is willing to give the Zhu family so much face.

Now that the Zhu family is blatantly parading around with someone almost no one in the circle has ever seen before, they are naturally going to investigate Yun Ran's background.

The assistants and others following him, receiving a look from their boss, tacitly began to investigate Yun Ran's identity without needing to say a word.

Yun Ran entered the small hall where the Zhu family patriarch was, and only then did she see that it was full of old men.

Despite being the host, Mr. Zhu was not the one sitting in the middle.

When the group of old men saw Yun Ran, they all looked her up and down. Fortunately, these people were all shrewd and did not become arrogant because Yun Ran was a stranger.

The old man sitting at the head of the table looked at Yun Ran with great kindness and said, "Who is this little girl from? She's so pretty."

Yunran: ...

It's been so many years, and no old man has ever called her "little girl" before.

Since she was 5 years old, she has started to do things like climbing on the roof and tearing off tiles if she is not disciplined every day, and no one treats her like a little child anymore.

Old Master Zhu, wanting to elevate Yun Ran, naturally took over the conversation: "This child is the third young lady of the Yun family, and also the benefactor of my two good-for-nothing grandsons."

Good heavens, with just a few words, Yun Ran's status was elevated countless times, transforming her from a despised burden into a benefactor of the Zhu family. Then, Old Master Zhu looked at Yun Ran with a loving expression and introduced her to the identities of the other old men present.

Even though this was her first meeting with the Zhu family patriarch, his eyes seemed to regard Yun Ran as someone he knew very well, as if he truly considered her a junior member of his own family.

Yun Ran couldn't help but twitch her lips. Sure enough, the older the ginger, the spicier it is. When it comes to acting, it's even more superb. If she weren't the person involved, she would believe it.

The ginseng fruit was also confused by the actions of the Zhu family patriarch, but it could still see that the Zhu family patriarch was elevating the status of his host.

[Host, are you about to soar to the heavens?]

"Perhaps, should, probably, maybe."

After the introductions were finished, Yunran realized that the old man sitting at the head of the table was actually the head of the She family, a branch of the Xie family by marriage.

He truly holds a high position and wields great power; no wonder he sits at the head of the table.

Rounding up, this old man is Xie Xuzhi's man, practically half one of his own.

Yun Ran's attitude immediately improved: "Greetings, gentlemen."

The old master of the She family never expected that his first meeting with Yun Ran would be in such a setting.

He naturally knew that Yun Ran was one of Xie Xuzhi's 'confidants'. He had only heard about it before, and he was also curious about how a young girl could catch that person's eye.

Although not many people in Haicheng knew that Yunran had climbed up to the Xie family, the matter was not concealed, and there were always a few well-informed families who knew about it.

The old master of the She family would naturally not pretend not to know Yun Ran and leave any room for gossip, but he would not take the initiative to make anything clear.

He immediately smiled and said, "So you're the young lady from the Yun family. You look very energetic. Not bad, not bad."

The people in the small hall were also divided into big and small kings. Since the old master of the She family and the host, the old master of the Zhu family, gave Yunran so much face, the others naturally had to give her face as well.

They praised Yunran as if she were a pampered and spoiled girl.

The chubby boy listened to the old men's praise, his heart pounding in his chest.

Before he came, he really didn't know that there were so many people here.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the composed Yun Ran. The little fat boy's admiration for Yun Ran was like a surging river, never-ending.

Grandpa Zhu wanted Yunran to appear in Haicheng's top circles, and now that his goal has been achieved, it's not good to keep a young girl like Yunran from staying with these old folks.

He said with a smile, "I know you young people like excitement, Xiao Jia, you should accompany Ranran around today."

Upon hearing this, the others valued Yun Ran even more and went back to tell the younger generation in their families to find an opportunity to get to know this third young lady of the Yun family.

Grandpa Zhu's words were exactly what Yun Ran wanted to hear. Although she didn't dislike being around these old men, she didn't really like it either.

"Then thank you very much for Grandpa Zhu's arrangements."

People have already paved the way for her, so what's wrong with her calling out "Grandpa Zhu"?

Grandpa Zhu's eyes immediately crinkled with laughter; he loved such a bright and insightful child.
