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

Chapter 234 Returning a Kindness (2rd Update)
Everyone in the banquet hall was well-informed and quickly discovered Yun Ran's identity.

I thought she was from a prestigious family, but it turns out she's a notorious burden.

However, they did not underestimate Yun Ran. Anyone who could enter this place, even if their identity had flaws, was definitely not a simple person. Let's wait and see.

The Yang family patriarch and his entourage, who had just boasted so confidently, now looked rather grim, with an angry expression of having been fooled.

They didn't think they were wrong; they only felt that Yun Ran was cunning and treacherous, misleading them and making them lose face.

If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, Patriarch Yang would probably have lost his temper on the spot.

But often, when emotions run high, the matter may simply be left unresolved.

If it is suppressed for various reasons, the subsequent outburst can be fatal.

Wang Qianyu looked at the reactions of those present with a playful gaze, then smiled and looked at Zhou Ying: "These people from Haicheng are much bolder than those from our capital. It seems they want to make a move against the Xie family."

Zhou Ying scoffed: "Idiot, you've only just touched the threshold of a powerful family, you're just half-baked. The more you understand the horror of power, the more cautious you will be in your words and actions."

They're all seasoned foxes; how could they possibly miss the emotions that flashed in those people's eyes?

"I'd like to know if Yunran can evade the schemes of these old foxes."

There's no way they'll help. They came here not with the intention of directly confronting the Xie family, but to secretly watch the show. Nobody can say anything about them.

There is no rule that they must intervene to help those in need.

On such an occasion, the Yun family was naturally among those invited, but unfortunately Yun Jingyang was extremely busy, and his stepfather Yun Shaotang had gone out of town.

The person who came this time was a cousin of the Yun family, someone who had absolutely no connection with Yun Ran.

Even with that uncle's status, he wasn't qualified to come here.

If someone were to actually attack Yunran, most people would think that Yunran wouldn't have much of a chance to escape.

After Yunran and the chubby boy came out of the small hall, they clearly felt that there were more people staring at them than before, some with malice and some just looking on to see what would happen.

Yunran felt as if she were a little lamb who had mistakenly wandered into a pack of wolves.

Zhu Xuejun brought over two glasses of juice, and when she saw Yun Ran, her eyes were clearly filled with joy.

He handed one of the orange juices to Yunran and said with a smile, "It's juice from freshly squeezed oranges that were just flown in by air."

Yun Ran took the orange juice and then heard Zhu Xuejun continue, "Aren't you curious why the Zhu family sent you to meet those people?"

She wasn't really that curious, but Yunran nodded anyway, just to play along with the other person's desire to perform.

"Our Zhu family has seized forty percent of the Jing family's market share,"

He then leaned closer to Yunran, lowered his voice, and said in a tone only she and Yunran could hear, "I know that the downfall of the Jing family is related to you, and we have a grudge against the Jing family..."

Yun Ran immediately understood. This was the Zhu family returning the favor, enhancing her status, and making her, the third young lady of the Yun family, no longer a joke.

If it were anyone else, Yun Ran would definitely deny it to the end. How could an unloved burden like her possibly bring down the richest family, the Jing family?

Looking at the spirited Zhu Xuejun in front of her, Yun Ran neither denied nor nodded in agreement.

She smiled, took a sip of orange juice, and then replied, "Congratulations, Sister Zhu!"

Whether facing friends or enemies, Yun Ran would never easily leave any ammunition for criticism.

Zhu Xuejun's smile brightened even more. No wonder she liked Yun Ran so much; Yun Ran was simply too pleasing to her. "The others aren't of much help to you for now, so I won't take you to meet them. I'll take you to explore my circle another day."

Zhu Xuejun reached out and patted Yun Ran's head, then gave the chubby boy a few more instructions before turning to leave.

"My sister is so good to you. She used to treat me like I was an animal!"

Fortunately, the chubby boy was just complaining; he wasn't jealous at all that his sister liked Yunran better.

"However, my sister is going to take you into her circle, so you'd better be careful. People at that level are almost all heirs of various families."

Outsiders are unaware that the Yun family's attitude towards her has now completely reversed.

Looking at the Zhu siblings, it's clear they've gone to great lengths to give her, this burden, more say so she won't be abandoned by the Yun family.

A warm feeling washed over Yunran.

"Don't worry, I'm smart and resourceful, I'll never hold anyone back."

The chubby boy was immediately satisfied.

Watching the two figures leave, the Yang family head's anger surged.

Even though Yunran had no interaction with him, he still felt an inexplicable anger.

Now that the prey has swaggered away, his boastful words have become a boomerang stuck in his body.

Those who used to fawn over him are now too embarrassed to speak.

This prey was not only imperfect, but also had a fatal flaw. Who would have thought that the head of the Yang family would misjudge such a thing? This was a huge loss of face.

As soon as we left the banquet hall, the bodyguards followed us.

He whispered to Yun Ran, "Miss Yun, someone in the banquet hall was checking your identity just now. Should I take care of it?"

It's normal for someone to notice her when she appears here as a new face, but it's a bit of an overreaction for someone to specifically investigate her.

"Just keep an eye on it for a bit, and if there's nothing unusual, you don't need to worry about it."

If those people are just curious about who she is, they can investigate her if they want. But if someone tries to take advantage of the situation, she won't tolerate it.

The bodyguard nodded. Dealing with those people would be a little troublesome, but for them, ensuring Yunran's safety was the top priority.

When the chubby boy saw the bodyguard talking to Yun Ran, he consciously kept a distance.

Even if the children raised in these wealthy families are simple-minded, they are generally not bad at dealing with people, at least they won't embarrass others.

After Yunran finished speaking with the bodyguard, the chubby boy stepped forward.

"Let me take you to the top of the mountain. There's a water park there, and there are animal shows too."

The group then boarded a sightseeing bus and headed up to the mountaintop.

As they approached the mountaintop, Yunran saw several enormous pine trees arranged in a way that was believed to bring bad luck and attract evil.

His gaze immediately turned cold. Even if this was a place with excellent feng shui, it couldn't withstand such harassment.

Within a year at most, someone will definitely die at this resort; such methods are somewhat despicable.
