Chapter 121: 120 once again took the blame for a heavy burden (2 more updates)
Gu Yuan immediately mourned for Yun Ran silently in his heart for three minutes.
People disliked by Xie Xuzhi are miserable, but those favored by him aren’t much better off either.
Take him, for instance, seen as Director Xie’s confidant by everyone, but the occasional frustration really made him want to go mad.
However, this sympathy was fleeting. Thinking that someone else would be suffering the same frustration as him, Gu Yuan immediately cheered himself up. Finally, he was not the only one suffering, hehe~
The next morning, Yun Ran woke up feeling refreshed. As she walked downstairs, she coincidentally saw Yun Wan giving her a disdainful look, complete with provocation.
"If you have a problem with your eyes, go get them treated!"
Yun Wan reflexively wanted to mock Yun Ran, but swallowed her words before they came out.
"Hmph, I’m not falling for your tricks. You just want big brother to see us arguing so he changes his mind about letting me go to Huannan."
Seeing Yun Wan’s ’I see through all your tricks’ expression, Yun Ran felt that she was really quite ill.
"What does it matter to me where you go? I’m not in charge of the Yun Family."
At this moment, Yun Jinyang came downstairs and saw his two sisters staring each other down. He pretended not to notice and wasn’t inclined to favor either.
After calling the servants to pack some simple luggage, and right after Yun Ran had finished her breakfast, the group set off.
Although Yun Wan was several years older than Yun Ran, at that moment she acted like a child vying for affection, insisting on sitting with Yun Jinyang.
She even provocatively glanced at Yun Ran, as if to say that she was the favored daughter, and Yun Ran would always be a burden.
Old Liu followed behind Yun Ran and seeing the young mistress’s behavior, he realized that the miss was actually just a 16-year-old girl.
He wondered when he had started forgetting Yun Ran’s age. Could it be because the young miss was too impressive?
The group, each with their own thoughts, until they reached the airport and saw many acquaintances.
Many families from Hai City had been invited, demonstrating the influence of Huanan’s Richest, Zhao Family.
Aside from those who were tied up, most were planning to head to Huannan early.
It looked like many people had ulterior motives. Yun Ran had little interest in the commercial battles between these wealthy families, choosing instead to rest in a corner of the VIP lounge.
"Ranran, you’re here too!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Yun Ran opened her eyes and saw Zhu Xuejun looking at her excitedly.
"Sister Zhu, we meet again."
Not far away, Yun Jinyang saw this scene and his eyes flickered. He hadn’t expected Yun Ran to have such a good relationship with Zhu Xuejun.
In the circles of the second and third generations of the wealthy, there are hierarchies.
One part was the circle of successors who would inherit family businesses, and another, comprised of their younger siblings.
Zhu Xuejun directly sat down next to Yun Ran, and only then did her gaze drift to Yun Jinyang nearby; she didn’t feel awkward at all.
People at their level, if they didn’t have even this amount of tolerance, would have been beaten back to reality long ago.
Relations between Zhu Family and Yun Family were just passable, without much business interaction. Zhu Xuejun simply nodded faintly towards Yun Jinyang as a greeting.
Yun Jinyang also nodded in response, and the two heirs of the families completed their greeting ritual.
Zhu Xuejun withdrew her gaze and continued talking softly with Yun Ran, but seeing her smile blooming like a flower, it was obvious they were having a good conversation.
Yun Wan saw this scene and felt it was an eyesore to the extreme.
If it had been anyone else, her sarcasm might have immediately erupted.
But the person opposite was Zhu Xuejun; although she was impulsive, she clearly knew whom she could offend and whom she could not.
She could only mutter softly, "Truly birds of a feather flock together, a shameless old man offering himself disgustingly, and a malicious clingy bane!"
Zhu Xuejun made a contract with the cunning Hand-rubbing Green, her mind poisoned and confused. Although her previous actions were not widely publicized,
those who should know still knew. Many people watched in secret, waiting to see when Zhu Xuejun, once a high and mighty heiress, would fall from grace.
Who would have thought, the Zhu Family, as if insane, still hadn’t given up on Zhu Xuejun despite everything.
Now that Zhu Xuejun’s love-struck brain had recovered, she had driven that disgusting old man and his family away, still sitting securely in the heir’s position.
Her past scandals, except for her arch-enemies, the rest could only murmur secretly, not daring to speak out directly.
Yun Jinyang, seated close to Yun Wan, clearly heard her words, and his gaze immediately grew colder.
He was a highly capable person, and hence carried an air of pride, accustomed to both overt and covert schemes.
But he especially despised people gossiping in his presence, let alone when the person was his own blood sister.
"You are the Yun Family’s eldest daughter, not a gossip. Outside, you represent the face of the Yun Family. If you continue being so reckless, you might as well just go live abroad!"
Yun Jinyang rarely reprimanded his younger siblings, not because he was of good temper, but because he disdained to do so.
Everyone in the Yun Family knew Yun Jinyang rarely lost his temper, but once he did, not everyone could withstand it.
Yun Wan’s face turned pale immediately; how could she have forgotten her elder brother’s taboo?
"Sorry, Brother, I was out of line. I will never dare again!"
Although Yun Wan was apologizing with her words, in her heart, she once again blamed Yun Ran for the scolding she received.
Meanwhile, Yun Ran, oblivious, had unknowingly become the scapegoat for something she hadn’t done.
At this moment, hearing the news Zhu Xuejun had just shared, her face was full of surprise.
"Sister Zhu, are you serious? Is the Si Family really going bankrupt?"
If Zhu Xuejun didn’t know about Yun Ran’s grudge with the younger generation of the Si Family, she wouldn’t have shared the news she had obtained in advance with her.
"This information is from a very reliable elder; the Si Family is done for. You don’t have to worry about the Si Family people making a move on you now."
Zhu Xuejun was also worried about Yun Ran being scared, seeing as Yun Ran was just a dependent of the Yun Family, and the Yun Family was not particularly kind to her; otherwise, Yun Ran’s reputation wouldn’t be so tainted.
Moreover, Yun Ran was very capable, yet the Yun Family was unaware, clearly guarding against her. If the Si Family really caused trouble, perhaps, the Yun Family would have compromised.
Sharing this news was to ease Yun Ran’s mind.
Yun Ran, this girl, suited her temperament; of course, more so because Yun Ran was competent, and naturally, she wanted to win Yun Ran over as soon as possible.
