Chapter 83: 82 Being Shameless is Also a Kind of Talent (2 more updates)
Others walked away in high spirits. As Qingmu Elder left, he deliberately looked back at Yun Ran with a gaze that clearly read "well done".
When they all had left, Yun Ran’s gaze finally settled on Gu Yuan.
"I want to apply for work-related injury benefits!"
Gu Yuan immediately became worried and examined Yun Ran up and down but couldn’t see any physical injuries on her.
"Where are you injured?"
"My heart and feelings are hurt. Although I get paid to do things, right now, this is self-sabotage which goes against my preference for keeping a low profile.
Plus, I’ve offended these people who obviously seem petty. Don’t I have to always be on guard for their revenge?
I could have been a popular genius, but now I’ve become a troublemaker. So, tell me, isn’t this a work-related injury?"
For the first time, Gu Yuan felt that shamelessness was also a Talent, and he obviously didn’t have it.
"Do you know who you offended today?"
Yun Ran, seemingly boneless, directly sat on a chair and looked at Gu Yuan with a half-smiling gaze, "Even if it were the Emperor of Heaven, didn’t you guys push me, your pawn, to the front? I did as I was told.
Talking about this now, doesn’t it seem a bit hypocritical? Since it’s done, don’t show that pitiful look, just provide adequate compensation.
Although I don’t know what your internal struggles look like right now, I think, my Golden Thigh Dad, he hasn’t told others that he has found someone who could save his life, right?
Continuing to let these people hop around under him, isn’t that just an opportunity to clean up those with ulterior motives?
I’m not someone with great aspirations, but if people from the Mystical Sect become chaotic and greedy, the consequences will be unimaginable.
If I hadn’t seen that Xie Xuzhi could suppress this chaos, I would definitely not willingly become a tool for your use!"
She needed to use the people associated with Xie Xuzhi to find those who harmed the original Host, and also ensure that people from the Mystical Sect did not become disorderly.
Yun Ran had no intention of testing limits with Xie Xuzhi and his companions; she just needed to make her stance clear.
As a confidant of Xie Xu, Gu Yuan naturally understood Yun Ran’s words.
This moment’s Yun Ran bore an uncanny resemblance to the mighty young master, sacrificing his own interests for the rights that belonged to others.
Gu Yuan fell into an uncommon silence.
Outsiders only knew that the Xie Family had a genius. As long as this genius known as the young master was in Capital City, the other families did not dare to mess with the Xie Family in the slightest.
In reality, although the Four Great Families appeared to be intermarried and supporting each other, the underlying conflicts were never missing.
Should the Xie Family falter, the first to rush forward to devour it would be those relations by marriage.
To save his life, the young master had borrowed the identity of a distant relative of the Xie Family and made a deal with the former director, becoming the deputy director.
Though the deal had ended, watching the complex mess within the Special Administration Bureau, the young master inevitably took on responsibilities that were not his.
He painstakingly managed the Bureau’s affairs and also dealt with matters on the Xie Family’s side in Capital City, significantly taxing his mental energy.
Yet the identity of a distant relative from the Xie Family was still insufficient to deter all the evil spirits.
The young master’s condition could fool others, but not those from aristocratic families of the Mystical Sect.
Even though the young master had promoted enough newcomers, compared to those deep-rooted aristocratic families entrenched in the Bureau, their strength was still significantly weaker.
As a confidant of Xie Xuzhi, Gu Yuan was well aware of how much Xie Xuzhi had sacrificed.
If even a bit selfish, sacrificing the fairness of common folk, the Special Administration Bureau would have long become a place ruled solely by Xie Xuzhi’s word.
After leaving the headquarters [*After leaving the Hai City Special Administration Bureau’s headquarters, Yun Ran glanced at Old Liu, who was opening the car door for her.
Although her gaze was faint, as if merely glancing unintentionally, Old Liu still felt as if he had been seen through.
After getting into the car, Yun Ran didn’t say anything and closed her eyes to rest, as if making up for lost sleep.
Old Liu felt somewhat uneasy.
Until they returned to the Yun Family’s villa, Yun Ran still hadn’t spoken.
Ginsengfruit was quite puzzled: [Host, you clearly noticed that Old Liu had been influenced by Xuan Sect’s methods, why didn’t you ask him? Aren’t you worried that he’s been arranged by the Special Administration Bureau to monitor you?]
"How would it help if I asked? I’m not planning any secret operations right now; there are many eyes on me, one more doesn’t make a difference.
Besides, he’s assigned by the Yun Family, I didn’t spend a penny on him, I’m getting a free ride, and you’re still complaining about this or that. Are you getting carried away?"
Ginsengfruit: ...
It was actually left speechless!
Just entering the living room, Yun Ran distinctly felt an air of gunpowder; Yun Jinyang, who should have been at work, was still at home.
"Where have you been?"
Looking at Yun Qing who asked the question, Yun Ran suddenly felt like it was raining red from the sky.
The memory of the original host clearly showed Yun Qing being haughty; unless necessary, she absolutely wouldn’t speak to the original host, clearly feeling that the original host lowered her status.
"Is there an issue?"
Yun Qing’s brow slightly furrowed; she clearly didn’t expect Yun Ran to respond this way.
Not only did she not answer her question, the tone seemed to carry a hint of provocation!
Fortunately, Yun Ran didn’t know her inner thoughts; if she did, she would definitely feel unjustly accused. Heaven and earth bear witness, this was just her habitual saying, devoid of any emotional undertones.
"Do you still remember that you are the third young lady of the Yun Family?"
At this moment, Yun Ran suddenly felt the same sensation as Yun Wan; that the 18-year-old Yun Qing had a profound ’maternal’ air.
Could Yun Ran endure this? She replied sarcastically, "Whether I remember or not isn’t important. What’s important is that you’ve always despised me as a burden. Now you’re emphasizing my status as the third young lady of the Yun Family, are you alright?"
"Yun Ran, is that how you talk to me!"
This remark instantly gave Yun Ran goosebumps. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Yun Jinyang also found the words somewhat grating.
"I’ve already used the respectful term ’you’, Second Miss. What else do you want from me, to grovel? I can’t do that; I still have some bottom lines."
Though not many.
"Big brother, is this what you told me, to not interfere? I’m also part of the Yun Family, even a shareholder. I have the right to reclaim that one billion you’ve given to her."
Yun Jinyang’s eyes slightly narrowed; he seemed to have underestimated his sister’s ambitions.
And Yun Ran, who was initially indifferent, upon hearing this, suddenly got agitated—wanting to take money out of her bag, has she been asked yet?
