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

Chapter 704 Power, what a wonderful thing!

The indignant woman from the second branch of the Yun family was warned by her own husband (father).

Their rational mind told them that Yun Ran was currently riding high, and they had to avoid her.

Emotionally, they found it hard to accept that the person who was once the butt of their jokes was now making them smile at him. What difference was there between that and slapping them in the face?

Knowing the true character of his wife and daughters, the second wife's husband watched as more guests arrived.

He could only glare at his wife and daughter again: "Shut up, both of you. Today, even if you're faking it, you'd better pretend to be happy!"

After saying those words, he left in a hurry. There were quite a few people he wouldn't normally be able to meet today, so he had to make sure they were familiar with him.

When Yun Ran arrived, she could see from afar that all the Yun family members were so busy that their feet barely touched the ground, and their faces were beaming with smiles.

Looking at the crowds everywhere, Yunran couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Power is truly a wonderful thing."

Xuan Chu followed Yun Ran's gaze and said sarcastically, "It seems that everyone in Haicheng with a bit of face has come."

"Tsk tsk tsk, thankfully this mountaintop hotel is big enough, otherwise, it would be just like those tourist attractions packed with people during holidays."

Yun Ran glanced at Xuan Chu, somewhat speechless.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Xuan Chu had changed somewhat after returning to Haicheng with her this time, though she couldn't quite put her finger on what was different.

But I just feel that Xuan Chu is a bit cheeky right now.

"Now I am, after all, the abbot of Qingfeng Temple, and the Yun family has also taken advantage of my influence to have some dealings with the Wang family in the capital."

"The Yun family is giving me face now; it's just a gift. In the entire Haicheng, anyone who isn't a mortal enemy of the Yun family has to give them some respect, right?"

The mountaintop hotel had set up a special passage for the Yun family and other important guests early on, so they didn't have to squeeze through the crowd.

Yunran arrived at the lounge prepared for her at the hotel. Standing on the balcony, she could see the lively scene below.

Xuan Chu, holding a glass of champagne, sneakily approached and looked down at the two young women downstairs who clearly looked exactly alike.

"Are those two your eldest and second young ladies from the Yun family? I've heard you two have a terrible relationship. I didn't expect that these two young ladies would come to support you today."

Yun Wan and Yun Qing were all smiles as they toasted and drank with everyone. No one would have thought they were unwilling.

"Of course, it's because they were won over by my character."

Yun Wan and Yun Qing downstairs were chatting happily when, for some reason, they suddenly felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were being watched by something.

If it were before, given their temperaments, their expressions would probably have changed drastically long ago.

But now, after Yun Wan was taught a lesson by Yun Ran, Yun Qing also went through a life-or-death experience and was almost stripped of all her shares by her older brother.

They are no longer the self-important young ladies they once were.

Not to mention feeling a chill down your spine, even if someone died right in front of them, they could still calmly continue chatting and laughing.

This is probably what it looks like after being brutally beaten down by social reality and learning one's lesson.

"Knock Knock Knock..."

There was a knock on the door of the lounge. Xuan Chu was now acting as both Yun Ran's bodyguard and assistant.

Because there are so many ordinary people here now, beings like little paper figures cannot appear easily.

Therefore, Xuan Chu had no choice but to resign himself to opening the door. Yun Jingyang, dressed in a well-tailored, custom-made suit, saw Yun Ran standing on the balcony as soon as the door opened.

He wasn't wearing the dresses that he had previously sent to young girls, the kind that were most suitable for them.

However, Yun Jingyang had no objections. Today's coming-of-age ceremony was a way for the Yun family to show respect to Yun Ran, so all her preferences were naturally to be followed.

Even if Yunran were to wear a beggar's outfit instead of a luxury suit, everyone would politely praise her for being creative.

"Big brother, what brings you here?"

Yun Ran withdrew her gaze from the balcony and returned to the lounge, greeting Yun Jingyang with a smile.

"I heard from the staff that you've arrived, so I came to see you. Also, Principal Du and the others are here; would you like to go see them?"

Yun Ran might not necessarily meet with anyone else, but she still had to give Principal Du face.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

As they were leaving, one of the little paper figures quietly flew out of Yunran's pocket.

When the door to the lounge was closed, the sneaky little paper figure suddenly seemed to gasp for breath, like someone who had been holding their breath for a long time.

The scene downstairs was so lively that the little paper figure, who loves watching excitement, stuck it directly onto the stone pillar on the balcony and observed the people below with great interest.

Whether it's on TV or in novels, it's always said that these kinds of banquets are where the most troublemakers are.

Just as the little paper doll was thinking that it would definitely see a lot of gossip, it heard rustling sounds coming from downstairs.

The very curious little paper figure immediately hugged the stone pillar, kicked its legs, and slid down, getting just the right angle to see the window from which the sound was coming.

"Please let me go, I really didn't mean to."

A young girl dressed as a waitress looked at the elegantly dressed young ladies in front of her with tears streaming down her face.

The leader's face showed intense malice.

"You think it wasn't intentional just because you say so? Do you know how much this dress is worth? Even if I sold you, you couldn't afford to pay for it!"

The people following behind her naturally echoed her sentiments.

"Exactly! Do you think I don't know a slut like you? You have such a pitiful face, but you think you can rise to the top and become a phoenix!"

"How disgusting! You know perfectly well that Yao Yao is engaged to Senior Ming He, yet you're always here!"

"How shameless! Is this a place you can come to? You used to work as a waitress in a bar, and now you're working as a waiter at this mountaintop hotel. Just how many men are you trying to hook up with?!"

……

Countless derogatory and cursing words reached the little paper doll's ears.

At first, it thought it was some kind of hair-pulling drama, but after watching for a while, it suddenly realized that this was bullying!

But none of this made Xiaozhi feel much of a sense of justice.

Its gaze was now fixed on the young waitress who had been bullied; she was emanating a faint halo.

Just as the little paper figure was trying to figure out the origin of the halo, the halo suddenly attacked it.
