Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 37 Apply both kindness and authority

Yun Jinyang deeply glanced at Yun Ran before turning his head to look at the visibly enraged Old Madam Yun and the other Mrs. Yuns.

"Grandmother, it’s getting late. You should rest early, and the aunts should head home, too."

Although the women of the Yun Family seemed to have a significant say usually, once the true authoritative figures spoke, they could only smoothly descend the slope.

It was the first time Old Madam Yun was offended by a younger generation, but now her most cherished and valued eldest grandson stepped in to mediate, and she had to give him face.

"Alright then. You and your father handle the remaining matters."

With the Old Madam herself speaking, no one else dared to say anything.

Even Yun Wan, who usually loved to oppose Yun Ran, stood up quietly at this moment and turned to leave.

Yun Shaotang’s gaze was even more oppressive than Yun Jinyang’s; after all, he is the male protagonist of the book, naturally different.

If it were the original character, she might have been shattered by such a look, but now sitting in front of them is Yun Ran, the little Daoist priest from Qingfeng Temple with the highest talent ever recorded.

"It’s already ten o’clock in the evening. Though it’s not a big deal for children to stay up late, I don’t like staying up. If there’s something, just say it directly."

"Come to the study with me!"

Yun Ran raised an eyebrow; it seems not just about Qu Ying, there must be something very important.

Following him to the study, Yun Ran then saw, not only were there motion-activated cameras all around the study ready to sound an alarm if someone approached.

There was even the latest high-tech equipment waiting here, any eavesdropping or electronic devices that entered could potentially be demagnetized.

At this point, Yun Ran suddenly felt that she might have been misled by the plot of the book.

How could such a meticulously calculating person be a giddy fool over a woman?

This was clearly a performance, just like previously using Qu Ying and herself as a stepping stone for others, making outsiders think they were not to be feared.

Yun Ran immediately sharpened her attention on Yun Jinyang and Yun Shaotang across her, thinking the Yun Family might be hiding some crucial secrets.

"Have a seat."

Yun Ran did not hesitate and directly sat down; Yun Jinyang personally poured a glass of juice for her, still her favorite pineapple juice.

Yun Shaotang saw Yun Ran staring at the pineapple juice somewhat dazedly and lightly said, "The preferences and temperaments of everyone in the Yun Family are well-documented."

Hearing this, Yun Ran immediately understood that the head of the Yun Family was telling her that everyone in his presence was transparent.

Thus, exploiting those who depend on the Yun Family for their livelihood was normal. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Yun Shaotang’s voice rang out again: "But I never expected to be caught off-guard; such a young girl, yet so scheming."

The original character was simple; wasn’t she used up entirely, paving the way for the love and careers of the male and female protagonists until her death?

But Yun Ran did not respond; she was not the original character, her temperament and capabilities all different.

Instead of making others suspicious, better to let everyone know that she was indeed scheming from the start, that she was acting all along.

At least this way, the Yun Family’s attitude towards her might change, right now isn’t this the best proof?

The study of the head of the Yun Family was not a place for a burdensome stepdaughter.

"To receive such an evaluation from dad, it looks like what I did before was quite successful."

Listening to Yun Ran just accept it like that, Yun Shaotang and Yun Jinyang actually felt somewhat relieved.

If it weren’t for Qu Ying pressing, they might never have realized they were harboring such a dangerous individual in their home.

If they continued their previous actions, once Yun Ran came of age and left the Yun Family, they might have a formidable enemy.

Fortunately, there was still a chance to remedy this.

"Over the years, the Yun Family has not treated you poorly. Your mother lacks a sense of security and needs something to grasp onto, the Yun Family also needs to establish a specific external image. I will ask finance to grant you a compensation, as a reward for your hard cooperation over these years."

Yun Ran chuckled softly, now the actions of the Yun Family truly validated a saying: the good are bullied, wicked grind the wicked.

The Yun Family had indeed shown favor, and the remaining resentments could be resolved with money.

Yun Ran did not dislike this method of mixing kindness with severity; she wasn’t a person who saw everything in black and white.

Living in this world, some things need to be done decisively, but other things, if being overly harsh doesn’t benefit oneself, then one can take a step back.

"I won’t be polite then, thank you, dad."

"Your mom’s side, I’ll handle it. Let’s talk about the rest tomorrow, you go back and rest for now."

Yun Ran definitely didn’t think that was Yun Shaotang showing consideration for her; rather, he wanted to wait until she received the compensation. Only after that would some things be better discussed, otherwise, it seemed like empty promises.

So far, it seemed that the head of the Yun Family had indeed become much more cautious around her and didn’t lump her in with those that could be casually brushed off and promised with empty gestures.

Yun Ran was somewhat satisfied, not in vain had she not kept her cards too close to her chest and taught Second Madam a lesson while tearing her relationship with the Yun Family apart.

"Alright, then I will go back to rest first."

As she reached the door, Yun Ran stopped her steps. Since they had taken a step back, she ought to give them some face.

At least until she came of age, she couldn’t let the people of the Yun Family feel threatened by her future potential harm to the Yun Family.

"Second Aunt has a foul mouth. My Silence Spell is effective for 7 days; it’s just a small punishment for her, no need to panic and look everywhere for help."

Yun Ran opened the door and left, and from the surveillance, one could see her going downstairs.

Yun Shaotang picked up a cigarette and took a strong drag before looking at Yun Jinyang, "This girl, what do you think?"

Yun Jinyang was silent for a while.

A few days ago, his stepmother made a scene, wanting to summon Yun Ran back to continue to manipulate her; he hadn’t taken it seriously.

After all, a hypocritical stepmother, always boasting of her uncompetitive, chrysanthemum-like temperament, was advantageous to him.

So he had never considered such a foolish and unaware person seriously, nor had he seen any danger.

But Yun Ran refused to come back, even directly making the principal of Xinghua handle this matter, which raised some doubts in Yun Jinyang.

He didn’t know how Yun Ran managed to persuade that principal to step in, but he felt like a chess piece was moving right under his nose.

And now, having thoroughly investigated Yun Ran’s affairs, everything amiss turned out to have happened after Yun Ran went to study abroad.

They naturally saw the footage of Yun Ran performing fortune-telling.

But at that time, their first reaction was that someone was backing Yun Ran, helping her create a momentum.
