Chapter 147: 146 ok, as you wish! (2 more updates)

Yun Ran sighed softly, no wonder Uncle Master said she still lacked worldly experience.

The schemes of society are indeed deep! Sugar-coated bullets are hard to defend against~

When she returned to the hotel, she saw Yun Jinyang waiting with a stern face: "We need to talk!"

That a workaholic like him would put aside his work and wait here made Yun Ran, whose mind was somewhat scattered, perk up slightly.

Could something serious have happened during the days she was absent?

"Okay."

The bodyguards and other staff members had the presence of mind to leave, giving space to the siblings.

Yun Jinyang looked Yun Ran up and down, noticing she only changed her clothes and hairstyle, but otherwise, she appeared the same, even her complexion seemed rosier.

"Sit down."

Listening to Yun Jinyang’s voice, which was no longer as stern as before, Yun Ran couldn’t help but let out a slight sigh of relief.

"Are you working for the Xie Family?"

Yun Ran frowned as she sat down. She thought that she and the Yun Family had always had an understanding, where surface harmony was all that was needed.

However, Yun Jinyang didn’t wait for Yun Ran to answer, and continued, "I really shouldn’t have inquired about this matter, much less intervened.

Even I could have pretended to know nothing about it. As long as you remain the Third Miss of the Yun Family, the Yun Family could benefit greatly.

But after all, you are my sister. You are smart and formidable, yet throughout history, many brilliant talents have died from schemes and betrayals.

During the days you were missing, I couldn’t sleep deeply. Even though the incident was censored, the Yun Family has its own information channels.

I don’t know what happened on that cruise ship, but the Second Branch of the Zhao Family has quieted down since, and the families of those guests refuse to speak of it.

There have also been whispers in our circles that the bankruptcy of the Han Family was your doing, are you aware that the eldest son of the newly bankrupt Han Family has hired an overseas assassin to eliminate you!

All signs indicate that Miss Zhao Mingzhu of the Zhao Family knows well how to kill with a borrowed knife, and how to keep her own hands clean.

Whether it’s the Zhao Family or the Xie Family, the waters here are too deep, and I don’t want you to fall into it just because of your talent."

The Yun Family has always wanted to climb higher and has put great effort into it.

Using Yun Ran, for the Yun Family, is a deal with only benefits.

If something were to go wrong with Yun Ran later on, the Yun Family would just need to sever ties and treat Yun Ran like a discardable pawn.

Yun Jinyang has always been the modest gentleman.

Only those who know him well, are aware of how distant and cold he can be, willing to sacrifice everyone for the Yun Family, including himself.

Now, Yun Jinyang is subtly warning her to stay away from families like the Xie Family and Zhao Family, which is completely against his life principles.

"Big brother..."

"The Yun Family is not in such dire straits, is it? I’ve said all I can, you decide for yourself!"

After speaking, Yun Jinyang stood up and left. He had already wasted too much time in Huannan, and now seeing Yun Ran return safely, he needed to leave.

Watching Yun Jinyang leave, Yun Ran felt a complicated mix of emotions.

[Host, this Yun Jinyang seems to still possess some humanity, although he has always been using the original host, it was largely because Qu Ying, her mother, led the exploitation.

The Yun Family merely added fuel to the fire. To call the Yun Family evil might be an overstatement; at most, it was indifference and nonchalance, since they had no relationship with the original host.

It’s said that a parent’s love for their children is unconditional, but in reality, some parents are the first to bully their children.

However, if it were still the original host standing here now, she probably wouldn’t have received a day of goodwill from Yun Jinyang, sigh...]

Ginsengfruit probably understood Yun Ran’s complex feelings the best at this moment. It wasn’t entirely about emotions or interests.

Fortunately, Yun Ran wasn’t someone to wallow in self-pity. She knew what she was doing and what she wanted. No need to brood over it; even a minute would be a waste.

Thinking back to what Yun Jinyang had said about the Han Family’s eldest son blaming her for his bankruptcy and hiring an overseas assassin to target her, Yun Ran absolutely couldn’t tolerate this.

Did they think she was a pushover that could be easily squashed?

She immediately picked up her phone and called Xie Xuzhi. After all, she was specially recruited, and when there’s trouble, it’s best to consult the highest authority—it saves trouble!

"What’s up?"

Listening to Xie Xuzhi’s emotionless voice, which was distinctly full of vigor, Yun Ran was somewhat impressed.

Many admired Xie Xuzhi for his high rank and power, yet they failed to see how he worked ultra-long hours. It would be unjust if such a person didn’t succeed.

After repeating the story to Xie Xuzhi, Yun Ran continued, "The last time I saw you at the Zhao Family Mansion wasn’t an illusion. Is the Zhao Family also one of the claws of the Xie Family?"

Xie Xuzhi: ...

"The Xie Family is a legitimate aristocratic family, not some villain. You calling it a claw seems tinged with personal grudges."

"Hmph, as long as you know. I don’t care what your relationship with the Zhao Family is, but let me make myself clear: I won’t accept any mediation, and don’t you think about playing peacemaker. I won’t give you that chance.

Zhao Mingzhu was two-faced, not only blamed me but also wanted to kill me. I will personally seek justice for this!"

Yun Ran didn’t mention that she had previously saved Zhao Mingzhu; being repaid with hatred for her kindness wasn’t anything to be proud of.

Of course, Yun Ran didn’t feel aggrieved, and naturally, she didn’t need to complain to Xie Xuzhi.

She had the ability to bestow kindness, naturally, she also had the strength to bear the consequences.

Xie Xuzhi fell silent for a moment, then replied, "So, you’re warning me not to interfere with this matter."

"That’s right, if you try to smooth things over, our cooperation ends here. I refuse to associate with someone who ignores their conscience for the sake of profit!"

This time, Xie Xuzhi responded almost instantaneously: "Okay, as you wish!"

After hanging up the phone, Xie Xuzhi looked towards Gu Yuan, who was busy working.

"The Han Family is bankrupt, yet has spare cash to hire an overseas assassin. It seems the aristocratic families in Huannan have become too lax. Send someone to tighten their reins."

Gu Yuan looked up, his eyes filled with confusion. Which Han Family was it? He had never heard of them before. How did they get on the nerves of this big shot?

Now they were bankrupt and still causing trouble. Serves them right.

They could have had a comfortable life with the little money left, but now it seems they might have to resort to begging.

Sigh, who knows which undutiful son caused such a disaster for his entire family. Even the family dog would jump out, cursing and swearing.

"Alright, I’m on it!"

Perfect, he could also use this chance to sneak out for a break, hehe~
