Chapter 250 She's Too Different (2 Updates)
The ginseng fruit immediately became depressed. Its host disliked it; the host didn't love it anymore. Waaaaah~~~
Song Ye frowned as he looked at the iron chains binding Yun Ran, but he believed that Yun Ran had a way to break them.

"Why are you still wearing these chains?"

Yun Ran crossed her legs and swung her feet, causing the iron chains to rattle.

“You don’t understand. I am the victim now. These chains are my bargaining chips and tools for making money.”

Song Ye: ...

Alright, it's none of his business to concern himself with Yun Ran's affairs anyway. He turned around and went to investigate the situation in the dungeon.

The She family hadn't left yet, but they felt a little awkward. Yun Ran hadn't let them leave, so they couldn't very well go either.

It seems there's no need for them to stay here now.

Yun Jingyang sat calmly to the side, without the slightest embarrassment. He seemed quite comfortable with his current identity as a victim's family member.

"Um, Miss Yun, we..."

Yunran turned to look at the She family members, as well as the other people who had been brought in to make up the numbers.

Fortunately, Yunran never relied on these people from beginning to end; their existence was merely to make her side appear less desolate.

Since they've completed their task, she naturally has to give them a friendly welcome.

"Okay, you can go back now. I'll send you a thank-you gift later."

The She family members exchanged bewildered glances, clearly not understanding Yunran's meaning.

However, this did not prevent them from clearly perceiving that Yun Ran had no intention of currying favor with the She family.

"Okay, we'll be going now. Please feel free to contact us if you need anything."

As he spoke, the leader of the She family gave Yunran his private phone number.

Regardless of their feelings towards Yunran, it doesn't affect their ability to complete the tasks assigned by their elders.

Watching the She family and the others leave, Yun Jingyang walked to Yun Ran's side and calmly said, "So you eliminated them?"

Yun Ran turned her head to look at Yun Jingyang, and for the first time felt that Yun Jingyang's words were sometimes really insightful.

“If you were born into a prestigious family, that would be quite terrifying.”

Hearing Yun Ran's praise, Yun Jingyang rarely smiled, and then replied, "Likewise!"

Both of them were intelligent people. After Yun Jingyang first realized that Yun Ran was not simple, he immediately adjusted his attitude towards her.

Even though Yun Ran wasn't entirely satisfied with the Yun family, she approached her elder brother Yun Jingyang with a cooperative mindset and had no intention of breaking ties with him.

If you were to make an enemy of a smart person just because of a little personal like or dislike, you would only be asking for trouble.

Yang Wu only provoked her because he relied on his status, indulged his own preferences, and looked down on and domineering people of lower status, thinking that everything should give way to his preferences.

"If there's anything the Yun family needs, just let us know."

Yun Ran nodded. Now that she was the third young lady of the Yun family, she naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony.

Of course, she would also try to squeeze some benefits out of the Yun family; an exchange of interests is the strongest bond. "Well, you should go back first. When I ask you to step forward, then you can do so. The Yun family should keep a low profile these next few days."

Yun Jingyang understood what Yun Ran meant. Just because the Meng family couldn't do anything to Yun Ran for the time being didn't mean they couldn't do anything to the Yun family.

In the end, wealthy families will always suffer when they clash with powerful and influential clans.

"Don't worry, I have everything arranged. The Yun family's projects will be suspended for the next month."

"This matter will be over in less than a month, at most a week!"

Wang Qianyu and Zhou Ying had been keeping a close eye on this matter, and their people naturally witnessed the entire process.

They never expected things to turn out this way.

If they hadn't come out on this trip, their sense of superiority might still have made them view people like Yun Ran with prejudice.

"Now I understand why someone like Patriarch Yang, who spends his days hunting eagles, would fall for Yun Ran."

Even now, they still don't quite believe that Yunran really did the whole thing out of a sense of justice.

Throughout their upbringing, only the interests of their family mattered; nothing else mattered.

If they were facing this situation today, they would definitely cover it up and then negotiate.

But Yunran directly reported it, and even challenged the interest circle centered on the Yang family on her own. Even the two of them did not have such combat power.

Those who were harmed by the Yang family head were nothing in the eyes of people like Wang Qianyu and Zhou Ying; they didn't have much of a pure sense of justice.

If someone had told them before that the powerful families at the pinnacle of Haicheng's society were helpless against a little girl and were being led by the nose by her, they would have scoffed.

But that's just how it is, which left them, who had been expecting a series of follow-up events, feeling somewhat lost and helpless.

Zhou Ying smiled wryly: "I just wanted people to know how ruthless she was, but now, compared to the trouble she brought upon herself, my methods seem a bit childish."

"The fact that she dared to do this is not unrelated to the fact that she is a member of the Xuanmen sect. It's not our problem, but that she is too unconventional. Now, let's see if those aristocratic families in the capital will make a move."

Zhou Ying sighed softly: "I'm afraid those powerful families in the capital won't make a move. Even we were stunned by her chaotic punches, and the others are probably in the same boat."

At least Zhou Ying himself will not make a move again. He has no life-or-death feud with Yun Ran. He was just trying to take advantage of the chaos to benefit them.

Making a move now would bring no benefit and would only put him at a disadvantage. Zhou Ying didn't consider himself a good person, but he wasn't stupid either.

Wang Qianyu clearly understood Zhou Ying's meaning and also sighed.

No aristocratic family that can establish itself in Kyoto is easy to deal with. If it weren't for the strong foundation and extensive branches of the four great families, it would be hard to say whether they could have surpassed them.

The Kyoto aristocratic families mentioned received the news immediately, and they were naturally furious.

In Haicheng, they had been planning for a long time, and Yang Wu was the most suitable henchman they had chosen. Over the years, the interests of both sides had become very solid.

To mess with the Yang family is tantamount to cutting off their left and right arms. How can we tolerate that?

But before they could take any action, they received some evidence from the Xie family (that was all).

The message was a veiled warning: do not interfere, or it wouldn't be a warning, but a reckoning!
This terrified the families, who immediately made a decision to cut off their own arm to save their lives, determined not to let the dog they owned drag them down with them.
