Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 115 - 114 Quick-Tempered (2 more updates)
Chapter 115: 114 Quick-Tempered (2 more updates)
In this school, how many foolish people could there be in the study tour group?
The ones with wealthy families are instructed early on by their elders about who they can offend and who they cannot; they are very clear about it in their minds.
Those who are intellectually sharp know exactly what can be said and what cannot.
By the time it was dinner, Yun Ran arrived at Tianxiang Building.
Looking at the grand and luxurious decorations here, and the wafting scent of top-grade sandalwood from the lobby, the word ’extravagant’ wouldn’t suffice to describe it.
Little Fatty had been waiting there early and quickly approached upon spotting Yun Ran from afar.
Having not seen him for just over twenty days, Little Fatty had noticeably slimmed down, his skin had darkened, but he appeared much stronger.
"My elder sister will be here soon; I’ll take you to the private room first."
Following Little Fatty to the private room, there were even artificial hills and running water inside, somewhat giving off a sense of ’floating cups along a winding stream’, which felt very comforting.
"Tianxiang Building is also a business owned by my family, currently managed by my elder sister."
Yun Ran looked around; the feng shui here was arranged very well, it seems the Feng Shui master patronized by the Zhu Family really put great efforts.
Not long after, Lady Zhu, Zhu Xuejun, arrived dressed in a smart western suit.
She was followed by quite a number of people, all carrying trays.
Once the waiters had left, Zhu Xuejun spoke up, "I really owe you one this time, Yun Ran. I won’t bother with formalities; if you ever need anything in Hai City, just let Zhu Xuejun know!"
[Host, Zhu Xuejun seems like a competent person.]
Yun Ran also agreed with this observation; Zhu Xuejun has a favorable appearance and seemed to have successfully gotten past her previous hurdle and was likely to have smooth sailing ahead.
"Thank you, Lady Zhu."
"Hey, what ’Lady Zhu’? You can call me ’Sister’ like Xiao Jia does."
It’s said that having more friends opens more paths, Yun Ran naturally wouldn’t mind others’ goodwill.
"Thank you, Sister Zhu."
Zhu Xuejun’s gaze towards Yun Ran grew even more approving—she liked this young girl.
Although there were rumors that she had a bad reputation, everyone belongs to the same circle, and often, only those involved know the truth of the matter.
Of course, she didn’t mind whether Yun Ran had a good reputation or not; getting along well was enough for her.
"These are top-quality ingredients that I’ve specifically set aside for you, see if you like them. If you do, feel free to come often."
These words weren’t implying that Yun Ran should come to take care of Tianxiang Building’s business.
In Hai City, Tianxiang Building holds a prestigious reputation, where ordinary people barely qualify to dine, thus suggesting Yun Ran to come often undoubtedly meant dining for free at any time.
"I won’t be shy then."
Zhu Xuejun, capable of managing such a grand restaurant, was clearly not a conventional, rule-following young lady.
The more she observed Yun Ran, the more she recognized her true nature, and the fondness in her heart for Yun Ran rose.
Seeing the table filled with delicious food, Yun Ran didn’t hold back.
While the Yun Family’s chef was already very skilled, the chef at Tianxiang Building appeared even more superior, significantly satisfying her gastronomic desires.
At the end, Yun Ran patted her stomach; it had been a long while since she had eaten to her fill. This feeling was exhilarating.
When leaving, Zhu Xuejun gave Yun Ran a card: "This is the Black Diamond Card for all the restaurants and hotels under the Zhu Family, allowing unlimited spending."
Last time, Little Fatty had given her a card, but she refused.
Now that Zhu Xuejun offered it again, Yun Ran did not refuse this time. Coming from an heiress raised as the successor, the card she offers has a different meaning.
This represents that the Zhu Family intends to express their desire to befriend Yun Ran. Of course, she should give them face.
"Then I won’t be polite."
Until he saw Yun Ran get into the car, Little Fatty still had a sulky look on his face.
Seeing her brother like this, Zhu Xuejun was also curious: "What’s wrong?"
"Last time I gave her a card, she didn’t accept it. But when you give her one, she accepts it~"
The Zhu Family has a good family tradition, although there is rivalry within the clan, it’s all positive.
Otherwise, when she was in trouble, people from the second house didn’t need to kick someone when they’re down, they just had to stand by and watch the main house fall apart, then rightfully take over the Zhu Family.
At this moment, Zhu Xuejun also intends to cultivate this younger brother, after all, fighting tigers is best done with siblings.
"The cards we give her serve a similar purpose, but the meanings are different. Your card represents gratitude, merely a financial connection.
But as the current master of Tianxiang Building, my card represents the Zhu Family’s willingness to connect with her socially, it’s about networking."
Little Fatty remained silent for a while. It’s not that he didn’t understand or was someone to dwell on trivial matters, but he couldn’t shake off a sense of being utterly incompetent.
"When you’re of age, Grandfather will let you manage a restaurant to practice. For now, cut off those unnecessary social connections, and stay by my side to see how I manage the restaurant."
Yun Ran didn’t know that just because she was too outstanding, shining brightly, she inadvertently cost a young boy quite a bit of his leisure time.
Upon returning to the Yun Family, she unexpectedly saw Yun Wan at home.
"Hmph, indeed a pheasant cannot become a phoenix, even dressed in dragon robes doesn’t make one a Crown Prince!"
Yun Ran was already used to Yun Wan’s sarcastic tone.
"Speak directly if you have something to say, all you know is to fart!"
Yun Wan was immediately furious, itching to slap her, but she was well aware that she couldn’t beat Yun Ran and could only glare fiercely at her.
"What kind of love potion did you give to Big Brother, you a burdensome tagalong, what right do you have to represent the Eldest Lady Yun at the Zhao Family’s banquet?"
Seeing Yun Wan obviously breaking down, Yun Ran instantly felt a karmic satisfaction.
With a raised eyebrow, she mocked: "Could it be that this time Brother only took me, oh dear, someone is really bitter, might as well die of bitterness.
Wasn’t it you who said before, may the capable occupy the position? Brother didn’t take you, shouldn’t you reflect on yourself?"
Yun Ran was not a very nice person; if opportunities arose, she would definitely dig deep into the hearts of certain people.
Indeed, Yun Wan was breaking down even further; she was supposed to be the Eldest Lady Yun, yet now, she was trampled underfoot by a mere tagalong.
Hai City, no, it should be said that families from all over the country with decent reputations who had business dealings with the Zhao Family were all invited.
Especially the people in Hai City who knew the details of Yun Ran and how embarrassed she used to be.
If Yun Ran made a spectacle of herself this time, then she, the Eldest Lady Yun, would become the joke of the entire circle.
Just the thought of losing so much face made Yun Wan so furious that she felt a surge of blood rush to her head and then blacked out.
Yun Ran: ...
My goodness, Yun Wan’s temperament is too explosive, just a few words and she fainted from anger!
