Chapter 239: Chapter 238: The Fish Has Taken the Bait~

The Yang Family and Yun Family both had their calculations, and the matter was quickly settled.

That evening, Yun Ran received an invitation from the Yang Family. The address listed made the irony in Yun Ran’s eyes hard to suppress.

Although the Bodyguard did not see the words on the invitation, he knew exactly where the address was.

Yang Wu’s ’hobby’ had already been thoroughly investigated by them, and every wealthy young lady he targeted ended up being tricked into going to that place...

At this moment, veins were popping out on the Bodyguard’s forehead, wishing he could attend this so-called banquet in Yun Ran’s stead and crush that beast’s head.

Unfortunately, the Yang Family’s connections were indeed strong; even if they wanted to bring this man to justice, there was no way, as the group of lawyers the Yang Family employed were not vegetarians.

These people were best at distorting truth and using delaying tactics; they could drag a lawsuit on for years while also engaging in underhanded maneuvers.

Not many people had the sufficient capital, time, and energy to contend with them.

For Yun Ran, from the moment this man’s eyes fell on her, it was destined that she couldn’t allow this person to continue thriving for long.

"Let’s set off now, and also, be vigilant, don’t let anyone disturb us."

The Bodyguard immediately nodded—nobody would get past him to find a chance to save someone.

Yun Ran arrived at the so-called Yang Mansion, said to have been passed down from ancestors.

Here, in the center of the city, the street where Yang Mansion was located was almost void of people, as quiet as a remote suburb.

Someone stopped the Bodyguard at the door, his eyes seeming to say, ’Do you really think just anyone can enter?’

The Bodyguard felt like punching the man.

Yun Ran glanced lightly, and he managed to suppress the rage in his heart.

Respectfully, he said to Yun Ran, "Miss, I will wait for you outside."

Outside the Yang Mansion was quiet, but stepping inside, it was evident how lively it was.

Amidst the laughter and cheer, one would never imagine that beneath this mansion filled with a sense of history lay a dungeon.

"So, you are the Third Miss of the Yun Family."

Hearing a young voice, Yun Ran looked over; uh, unknown.

But Yun Ran wasn’t flustered. After all, it was them who approached her first, surely they would come over to introduce themselves.

A young woman holding a glass of champagne came over and sized up Yun Ran.

With admiration in her eyes, she said: "You really are beautiful. In a few more years, you might be the top lady in Hai City’s high society."

Yun Ran: ...

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Bai Ying, and Henglong Jewelry City belongs to my family."

Yun Ran thought for a moment and immediately realized, this was the Eldest Lady Bai, the heir to Henglong Jewelry City.

In terms of status, she was on the same level as Zhu Xuejun and Yun Jinyang.

A big question mark rose in Yun Ran’s heart; what virtue and ability did she have, a well-known freeloader and joke in the upper circle, to receive the ’favor’ of Eldest Lady Bai?

Bai Ying glanced behind Yun Ran, curious: "Did you come alone this time? I just heard your Yun Family is collaborating with the Yang Family, and I was hoping to see your elder brother."

Hearing this, Yun Ran immediately understood; this person was here for Yun Jinyang.

"My elder brother is busy with other matters."

Bai Ying’s face momentarily flashed with disappointment, but it quickly vanished.

"Stay close to me later, don’t go wandering around, okay?"

She meant to look after Yun Ran.

If Yun Ran had no ulterior motive, she wouldn’t be able to dislike Bai Ying just from her words alone.

"Mhm, I understand."

Bai Ying was immediately satisfied; she liked such a well-behaved and sensible girl, especially since she was from the Yun Family, which made her even more fond of her.

"Let’s go, I’ll introduce you to some people."

With that, she affectionately took Yun Ran by the hand and headed towards the back garden.

Yang Mansion covered a large area, especially valuable in such a prime location, where it wasn’t just money that mattered, and even ancestral heritage wasn’t enough without some powerful backing.

Yun Ran carefully observed the place; it was all to her liking, except for the dungeon beneath the mansion.

Almost instantly, Yun Ran decided: she would take over the Yang Mansion, and from then on, it would be known as Ran Mansion.

Ginsengfruit also was very satisfied with the place, arranging things even though it was still quite premature.

[Host, I’m eyeing that small garden house next door. Once you’ve concocted my body, I want that house.]

Following the direction Ginsengfruit mentioned, Yun Ran nodded immediately: "Approved~"

Not only that, but the two of them had already started discussing how to modify the places they didn’t like.

Soon, Bai Ying led Yun Ran to the back garden, which even had a sea of rose flowers, a sight so refreshing and pleasing to the eye.

"Yo, I was wondering why Miss Eldest Lady Bai rushed out in such a hurry, and she brought back a fairy-like sister so quickly."

The speaker was clearly flattering Bai Ying, and from their exaggerated manner, it was not hard to guess that they were specifically trying to curry favor with her.

"You guys always spout nonsense. Come, let me introduce you, this is Ranran, the third young lady of the Yun Family."

The others blinked when they heard this.

Bai Ying had always wanted to arrange a marriage alliance with Yun Jinyang, but despite several attempts to convey the message through intermediaries, there was no response from Yun Jinyang’s side.

Even several attempts to collaborate with the Yun Family hadn’t found an opportunity.

If they could make connections with someone from the Yun Family, regardless of whether Yun Ran was an encumbrance or not, it would be hard for the Yun Family to refuse outright from afar.

Bai Ying’s friends immediately came forward, each of their smiles almost overflowing their faces.

"Wow, such a spirited young lady, you’re from the Yun Family? You must come and play with us sisters more often in the future."

Seeing this, Yun Ran suddenly envisioned a scene where Yun Jinyang was like a piece of Tang Seng meat, with everyone trying to find an opportunity to devour him.

At this thought, Yun Ran suddenly burst into laughter.

Unfortunately, these people didn’t know that Yun Ran laughed because she thought of something else, thinking she was just an easily coaxed young girl.

When Yun Ran intended to fool someone, they definitely wouldn’t realize it.

In just half an hour, Bai Ying and her friends completely treated Yun Ran as a gullible, naive kid.

As the sky turned completely dark, people from Yang Mansion called away these guests for various reasons.

Watching the last person leave, Yun Ran’s lips curled into a slight smile: "The fish has bitten the hook~"
