Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Revenge that Ended Before it Began

Outside the gate, Yun Rulan stayed on the ground for a long time until her limbs were stiff. Only then did she stagger to get up, shaking her frozen hands and feet, and shiveringly climbed into the car to return to the Yun Family.

In the Yun Family’s hall, Elder Yun and Yun Lan sat upright and anxious, looking toward the door, hoping Yun Rulan could bring back good news. Elder Yun clenched the cane in his hand, thinking that no matter what, the Yun Family must not fall under his watch.

At this moment, the housekeeper’s delighted voice came through, "The young lady is back!"

Joy suddenly lit up the previously desolate hall. Everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, and their glasses showed a bit more relaxation.

"Grandfather, you don’t have to worry. Xu Ke spoils my little sister so much; he will definitely help us with this matter," Yun Lan said with a slightly relaxed tone to Elder Yun.

"Let’s hope so." Although Elder Yun’s words sounded somewhat pessimistic, his suddenly lively eyes still showed his current good mood to the outside, indicating that his view on this matter was not as bleak as it seemed from An Yang. As Yun Lan said, Xu Ke spoils Yun Rulan so much; he would certainly agree to help the Yun Family with this.

But their confidence diminished when Yun Rulan stepped into the hall and stood before them. "Xiao Lan, why do you look like this after going out? Why are you so disheveled? Did you roll around outside? Xu Ke didn’t say anything seeing you like this, did he? By the way, how did the conversation with Xu Ke go? Did he say when he would help us?" Yun Lan asked with a frown as he looked at Yun Rulan.

Yun Rulan, who had been in a daze outside, reacted the moment she heard Xu Ke’s name. Her once utterly cold eyes suddenly became alive, but they were filled with hostility, looking like an avenging spirit. Even Elder Yun couldn’t help but get goosebumps seeing his granddaughter’s expression.

"Your brother is talking to you. Why aren’t you responding? Didn’t you go out to find Xu Ke? How did you get all muddy? Did you encounter some trouble on the way?" Elder Yun asked Yun Rulan, who remained silent yet looked somewhat unwell.

"Grandfather, Brother, do you love me?" Yun Rulan tried hard to suppress her emotions in her eyes, focusing intently on the two most important men in her life sitting on the sofa as she asked persistently.

Neither expected Yun Rulan to ask such a question, and their expressions looked dazed for a moment. But soon, they came back to their senses and said with a smile, "Of course we do. Why would you think we don’t? No matter what happens in the future, you are always the little Princess of the Yun Family," Yun Lan said with a smile, looking at Yun Rulan’s not-so-good complexion.

"You still haven’t told us how the negotiation went. Did Xu Ke agree to help us?" At this point, Yun Lan couldn’t help but lean forward, looking anxious and inquisitive as he asked.

Elder Yun said nothing, but the cane in his hand began tapping the floor, like a silent urge. Meanwhile, Yun Rulan looked at the two men in front of her, reinforcing the resolve she had already made in her heart by adding another layer of seal.

Yun Rulan shook her head slowly, "He didn’t agree, but I’ve already found a solution. In a few days, the Yun Family’s crisis will be resolved, so don’t worry." Yun Rulan showed a determined smile, her eyes glinting with a strange intensity, terrifyingly bright.

"What solution do you have?" Yun Lan had not yet recovered from the fact that Xu Ke refused to help. Hearing Yun Rulan say she had found a solution, he instinctively frowned and asked in a somewhat stiff tone.

"You won’t have to worry about this, Brother. Just wait and see how it turns out." Yun Rulan regained her previous energy, with a peculiar smile on her lips. She ignored Yun Lan’s calls from behind, as if she hadn’t heard anything, and walked upstairs without stopping.

Behind her, Yun Lan’s somewhat annoyed voice came through, but Yun Rulan responded by cheerfully humming a tune.

Nightclub.

Long Ge was enjoying himself, holding a scantily clad and curvy woman beside him, squinting as he looked over his territory.

"Long Ge, don’t look at the woman in the center of the dance floor. Look at me; I dance much better than her," the curvy woman said, pouting and cupping Long Ge’s face coquettishly.

"Really? Then go down and dance for me. Let me see if you’re really that good." Long Ge’s hand lingered on the woman’s slender waist. Just then, his phone vibrated in his pocket, pulling him from the beauty’s embrace.

Seeing the unfamiliar caller ID on the phone, Long Ge raised an eyebrow and pressed the answer button.

"Who’s this?" Long Ge’s rough voice mixed with the pounding music of the nightclub, making Yun Rulan instinctively frown over the phone, tempted to hang up. However, remembering that her plan required Long Ge’s help, she restrained herself.

"This is Yun Rulan from the Yun Family. I want to discuss a business deal with you." Yun Rulan’s cold and dangerous voice rang through the phone, crashing into Long Ge’s ear, prompting him to unconsciously suppress the smile on his face and push the eager woman onto the floor.

"I wonder what kind of business you’re talking about?" Long Ge asked nonchalantly, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

"What other business is there with Long Ge? I need you to help me deal with someone. As long as you can bring that person to me and lend me a few hands for the aftermath, I can give you fifty million." Yun Rulan squinted her eyes, her voice chilly.

"As expected from the Yun Family, so generous. Who is it you want to deal with?" Long Ge stubbed out his cigarette in an ashtray and laughed out loud, but this laughter vanished after Yun Rulan revealed the name, even showing a dangerous glint in his eyes.

Tonight was destined to be eventful. Just as Xu Ke rested his head on the pillow and started to feel sleepy, his phone lit up abruptly in the dark. If not for Xu Ke’s quick reflexes, the ringtone would have woken the sleeping Lin Mengyao.

Holding his phone, Xu Ke quietly tiptoed out of the room, went to the balcony, and whispered into the phone, "Why call me this late at night? What’s up?"

"Xu Ke, you better tell me honestly, did you do something to offend the Yun Family?" Long Ge’s rough voice rang out.

Xu Ke quickly grasped Long Ge’s intention and replied with a light laugh, leisurely, "It seems Yun Rulan has approached you."
