Chapter 233: Chapter 232: Old Ginger Is Spicier

Yang Family Master and his group, who considered themselves patient, liked to watch their prey walk into their territory voluntarily.

But Yun Ran and Little Fatty were obviously not like those they had encountered before.

Others who entered this banquet hall, even those of the same status as Yang Family Master, would restrain their temper somewhat and politely greet the people present.

Yun Ran, however, completely ignored these big shots in the banquet hall. She didn’t even bother to greet them, not to mention giving them an extra glance.

Lacking confidence? Not at all. She was very confident. Even when she was offended by someone from the Xie Family like Xie Xuzhi, she dares to show her displeasure, let alone these people.

And Little Fatty, being a child with no real power, wasn’t enough to introduce Yun Ran to them.

The two, like a unique duo, brazenly headed toward the small hall where Old Man Zhu was located.

Wang Qianyu, who came down from upstairs, chuckled: "This Yun Ran is quite interesting. If it were someone else entering such a gathering of significant figures,

No matter the personality, they would pretend to be composed and show their manners, and proactively greet these people whom they couldn’t normally connect with.

She, on the other hand, treated these people as if they were nothing, just left directly, disregarding these insignificant figures, making their faces swollen with embarrassment.

It’s unknown whether this is her true nature, or if it’s because she relies on Xie Xuzhi’s influence, thinking she can do whatever she wants in Hai City."

People downstairs noticed Wang Qianyu wanting to approach him to flatter, but were stopped by his gaze.

Today, he came here, using his identity as a member of Wang Family’s followers.

Just to see how Hai City’s families react to the failure of Hai City’s Richest Family, Jing Family, due to Xie Xuzhi.

Having the rare opportunity to see so many people gathered, he naturally wanted to join in the excitement and, if possible, create some obstacles.

When Yun Ran and Little Fatty entered the small hall where Old Man Zhu was, only then the onlookers who had been watching Yun Ran withdrew their gazes.

It’s said ’when a giant whale falls, numerous creatures benefit.’ After the fall of the Jing Family, it’s unknown whose path Zhu Family took to grab the biggest share, which is why people were so willing to give face to Zhu Family.

Now, Zhu Family blatantly brings along a person almost unknown in the circle around the city, naturally, they want to thoroughly check Yun Ran’s background.

The assistants and others around them, receiving their bosses’ signals without a word, tacitly started to investigate Yun Ran’s identity.

Upon entering the small hall where Old Man Zhu was, Yun Ran saw that it was full of old men.

Old Man Zhu, despite being the host, was not sitting in the middle.

The group of old men assessing Yun Ran had no arrogance due to her unfamiliar face, thankfully, since these people were all astute.

The old man sitting in the highest seat looked amiably at Yun Ran: "Which family’s child are you, my dear? You look very pretty."

Yun Ran: ...

It had been many years since any old man had called her a child.

Since she was five and became notorious for her mischief, nobody treated her like a child anymore.

Old Man Zhu, intent on promoting Yun Ran, naturally took over the conversation: "This child is the Third Miss of the Yun Family, and also the noble benefactor of my two unworthy grandsons."

Wow, just with a few words, Yun Ran’s status was suddenly elevated immensely, from an unwanted burden directly to a noble of the Zhu Family.

Then, Old Man Zhu, with an affectionate look, introduced the other old men’s identities to Yun Ran.

Although it was their first meeting, his eyes seemed very familiar with Yun Ran, treating her like his own younger relative.

Yun Ran couldn’t help but twitch her lips; indeed, experience speaks for itself, acting so naturally that if she weren’t the person involved, she would have believed it herself.

Ginsengfruit was also bewildered by Old Man Zhu’s maneuvers but still realized that Old Man Zhu was elevating the host’s status.

[Host, are you about to rise high?]

"Perhaps, should be, probably, maybe."

After the introductions, Yun Ran then knew that the old man sitting at the head of the table was the Family Head of She Family, a side branch relative by marriage of the Xie Family.

A truly high-ranking and influential figure, no wonder he could sit at the head of the table.

Rounding up, this old man, being Xie Xuzhi’s person, was almost half her own.

Yun Ran’s attitude immediately improved: "Honored to meet all the respected elders."

Old Master She hadn’t expected that his first encounter with Yun Ran would be on such an occasion.

He naturally knew that Yun Ran was one of Xie Xuzhi’s confidants. He had only heard about it before and was curious about how a young girl caught his eye.

Although not many in Hai City knew about Yun Ran’s connection with the Xie Family, this wasn’t a secret, and a few well-informed families were aware.

Old Master She naturally couldn’t pretend not to recognize Yun Ran, leaving any ill words behind, but also wouldn’t explicitly point out anything.

He smiled and said: "So you are the young lady from Yun Family, looking spirited. Very good, very good."

With Old Master She and the host Old Man Zhu giving Yun Ran so much face, others in the small hall naturally did the same.

One after another, they praised Yun Ran as if she was a precious and favored young lady.

Little Fatty listened to these old men’s praises, anxious.

Before coming, he hadn’t known there would be so many people here.

Stealing a glance at the composed Yun Ran, Little Fatty’s admiration for her was as endless as a flowing river.

Old Man Zhu, wanting Yun Ran to make an appearance in Hai City’s top circles, had achieved his goal and wouldn’t keep a young girl with these old folks any longer.

He said with a smile: "Knowing you young people like liveliness, Xiao Jia, accompany Ranran well today."

Hearing this, others valued Yun Ran even more, planning to tell their younger relatives to take the opportunity to get acquainted with the Third Miss of the Yun Family.

Old Man Zhu’s words were exactly what Yun Ran wanted. Although she didn’t mind interacting with these old men, she didn’t actually enjoy it.

"Then thank you very much for the arrangement, Grandpa Zhu."

Everyone was paving the way for her, so why wouldn’t she call him Grandpa Zhu.

Old Man Zhu’s eyes immediately crinkled with a smile, liking such a clear and straightforward child.
