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

Chapter 424 Workaholics are really awesome!!! (2nd update)
Yun Ran's eyes paused slightly: "Wang Qianyu came to you?"

"Yeah, I guess they got the news as soon as I called to try and cut my losses. They really are as well-informed as the Wang family, one of the four great families of Kyoto."

What Yun Jingyang didn't say was that the Wang family's matriarch probably also knew about this news, and if he didn't get involved with either side...

Perhaps the old lady simply dislikes him, but she wouldn't lower herself to deal with him.

Although the Yun family is wealthy and has been on the list of billionaires, in the eyes of these true aristocratic families, the Yun family is nothing more than ants.

But now that the Ninth Young Master of the Wang family has called, Yun Jingyang has to think more.

"You suspect that Wang Qianyu wants to drag the Yun family into this mess?"

Yun Jingyang nodded: "These people from aristocratic families are all cunning and scheming. We, the ants, have always been the ones begging them. When will they ever take the initiative to extend an olive branch?"

Perhaps, the person they truly want to tie down is you. The Yun family is merely an add-on, a small pawn used to control you.

Looking at the eldest son of the Yun family, who was full of vigor in Haicheng, he lacked confidence when speaking in Kyoto. He even joked that he had to add a small word before the chess piece.

At this moment, Yunran truly realized that there was indeed a gap between the wealthy class and the truly powerful families.

"What do you think?"

Yun Ran is not a direct descendant of the Yun family, but the Yun family did indeed have the kindness of raising the original owner of this body.

Although it wasn't taken too seriously, one could even say it was going with the flow, watching Qu Ying step on the original owner's persona of being indifferent and detached.

The Yun family never mistreated the original owner. In terms of food, clothing, and daily necessities, there was no difference in treatment. Even the pocket money was handed over voluntarily by the original owner after being manipulated by Qu Ying.

Yun Ran's attitude towards the Yun family was based on mutual benefit, after all, her household registration was still on the Yun family's household register.

Right now, she doesn't want to be directly involved in the Yun family's decisions about the future, lest something go wrong and become unclear.

However, considering that Yun Jingyang is a smart person, he is still a good partner.

If Yun Jingyang wants to take risks, she will do her best to help him, but if Yun Jingyang wants to play it safe, she can naturally ensure that the Yun family can get out unscathed.

Upon hearing Yun Ran's question, Yun Jingyang's expression was a mixture of pride and melancholy.

He never imagined that the word "tacit understanding" would be applied to him and his stepsister Yunran.

Fortunately, Yun Jingyang wasn't a pretentious person. He pulled up a table on his tablet and handed it to Yun Ran.

"This is the data analysis table that we just made. If we continue to cooperate with the Wang family, the Yun family's profits in the next few years will increase several times over."

If all goes well, the title of the richest family in Haicheng will probably soon fall to the Yun family.

Since the Jing family, once the richest family in Haicheng, was suppressed and fell into decline, many prominent families in Kyoto have been searching for a representative who can firmly hold the position of Haicheng's richest family..."

Yunran understood. Although those powerful families didn't think much of the wealthy class.

But they need these people as pawns to control the economy and resources of a region.

Just like the Jing family, the richest family in Haicheng, and the Zhao family, the richest family in South China, they all had powerful families backing them.

However, in just six months, Yunran witnessed two once-prosperous and wealthy families fall into ruin because of a single sentence from the head of one of these families.

"You want to become the spokesperson for those aristocratic families?"

They are called spokespeople, but they are actually just pawns. If things go wrong, they can be controlled and become puppets who have no control over their own lives.

Yun Jingyang shook his head. He was an ambitious man, how could he be willing to become a puppet of a powerful family, where life and death were merely a matter of the other party's whim?

"So you mean..." "In ancient times, there was the merit of following the emperor. Now, there is also mutual benefit. If your side has a better chance of winning, perhaps you can take another path."

If someone else had said this to Yunran, she might have thought that person was a bit arrogant.

But Yun Jingyang said she felt there was still a good chance.

Therefore, he said directly, "My chances of winning are ninety percent, which should have been one hundred percent, but we have to take into account that Wang Mian is a fame-seeking person."

Yun Jingyang originally thought that a 50% chance of winning would be pretty good, but he didn't expect it to be as high as 90%.

However, Yun Ran's concerns were not without reason. He had come into contact with quite a few people from aristocratic families and had also met many people who seemed kind and friendly but were actually aloof and looked down on them.

"Okay, I understand. I'll have someone add all the risk factors back in right away."

As he spoke, Yun Jingyang hurriedly entered the study, intending to hold a video conference with his confidants.

Yunran: ...

Workaholics are truly amazing!!!

If she had been this dedicated back then, she wouldn't have been chased and beaten by her master and uncles.

She still preferred the days of eating and drinking, just as Yunran was planning to go for a soak in a hot spring.

Suddenly, she frowned, her voice filled with disbelief: "You've recovered so quickly?"

"Host, what's wrong?"

Ginseng Fruit was holding a small swimming ring in its hand. Seeing Yun Ran stop, it muttered to itself and looked at her with some confusion.

"Wang Mian's vitality has been restored!"

"What? So fast? Did it absorb some kind of immortal energy?!"

Although he was waiting outside the garden, he and Yun Ran were bound by soul, so he knew how weak and frail Wang Mian's body was.

Even with the life-giving talisman provided by the host, it couldn't possibly recover so quickly. It would take at least three to five days to recover some of its vitality.

"Let's go to the Wang family's old residence now!"

The recovery of vitality was too fast, and Yunran hadn't noticed anything wrong until the vitality was almost full.

If there were no other reasons, she would be willing to gamble with her own life.

Yun Ran immediately took out her phone and called Wang Qianyu.

Wang Qianyu, on the other end of the phone, looked at Yun Ran's phone and never imagined that Yun Ran was doing it for his third uncle's sake.

He thought Yun Ran was upset because he had called Yun Jingyang today, and suddenly felt a little guilty.

Who told him to have his own little schemes?

But he couldn't hang up the phone, so he had no choice but to answer it.

Yun Ran's voice came through coldly: "Come pick me up at the X Hotel right now. There's been a change in the situation with Master Wang."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qianyu's guilty expression immediately turned gloomy.

"Okay, I'm coming!"

As he left, he thought viciously: Could something have happened to Sonoko? Damn it, if he finds out who the traitor is, he'll skin him alive!
