Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 130 - 129 eyelid twitching

Qu Ying simply wanted to make a good sale by reminding the wealthy merchants earlier. Her family’s restaurant boasts numerous top-tier fresh ingredients, all sourced from the Southwest.

Business tactics are common in trading, but exploiting someone’s weakness for business will eventually backfire.

The merchants felt embarrassed. On Zhao Family’s turf, they had actually uttered such words. If someone with ulterior motives overheard and exploited it, they were likely in for bad luck.

At this moment, one of them looked at Zhu Xuejun with a trace of gratitude in his eyes, believing her to be a truly forthright person.

She could have caught him in his words but chose to remind him in such a manner, giving both sides a way out.

Now, he actually found himself appreciating Zhu Xuejun. Initially, he was reluctant to partner with her, not because of discrimination against her as a woman.

In the business arena, gender matters little. His concern was that Zhu Xuejun was too shrewd; a partnership might not yield enough benefits.

But now, he changed his mind. Some business deals make money, while others build connections, and he decided to agree to a project the two had previously discussed.

Elsewhere, Xie Xuzhi sat in a high seat, observing the nearly breathless elderly head of the Zhao Family with sharp acumen.

A flash of disgust crossed his mind, although his face showed none of it, as his hands leisurely fiddled with two walnuts that had become smooth from handling.

They had nearly extolled Zhao Mingzhu to the skies, hoping to gain Xie Xuzhi’s approval for her to take over the Xie Family.

The public believed that the head of the Zhao Family only needed internal approval. In truth, the Zhao Family head also needed the recognition of the Xie Family.

After Zhao Mingzhu gave Yun Ran a large sum of money, she immediately turned ruthless, seeking to drain Yun Ran’s usefulness completely. freёweɓnovel.com

It proved that Zhao Mingzhu was a decisive and heartlessly shrewd Family Head, endowed with both courage and strategy.

But such characteristics had little impact on the Xie Family. After all, who cares if their ’claws and teeth’ appear vicious to others, or if they have flaws in character.

If Xie Xuzhi had not known Yun Ran, whom he personally endorsed, he might have already agreed now.

Yet, upon seeing Yun Ran at the banquet, Xie Xuzhi suddenly realized that he, to outsiders a coldhearted and merciless Young Master Xie, felt a tinge of pity for Yun Ran, innocently entangled in these matters.

Hence, his look was so complex, and for the first time, he considered Yun Ran, someone who might change his destiny, to be truly special in his life.

In other words, does he fear death more than he imagined he would? Indeed, this is not good news.

Amid the hopeful gaze of the Zhao Family elder, Xie Xuzhi spoke indifferently: "Let’s discuss this matter later!"

The father and son of the Zhao Family were momentarily stunned. They thought this was a mere formality.

The Xie Family had been supporting the Zhao Family for generations. Apart from necessary tasks, the Xie Family never interfered in their internal matters.

What’s happening this time? Has something gone wrong? Zhao Mingzhu was their trump card, carefully concealed.

Knowing Zhao Mingzhu’s Life Chart was immensely valuable, a Phoenix Fate if in ancient times, the family would not have harbored such great ambition.

Especially upon meeting the renowned Young Master Xie, their eagerness to ’grasp the dragon and attach to the phoenix’ grew more urgent.

The Zhao Family was already wealthy enough, but no one is ever content. To climb higher, they needed even closer ties.

Marriage alliances were the least costly yet most rewarding option they could think of.

Zhao Mingzhu had been nurtured excellently, her abilities, cunning, methods, and vision meriting the finest men.

They believed, once Zhao Mingzhu took over the Zhao Family, and interacted more with the next Family Head of the Xie Family, things would naturally fall into place.

But they never expected Xie Xuzhi to put off their proposal.

Now, the Zhao father and son were somewhat panicked, unsure of what had gone wrong to displease the Young Master.

However, they dared not be presumptuous or ask questions before Xie Xuzhi. They had no choice but to hold back and shift the topic to other matters.

Yun Ran finished eating and drinking, and the auspicious moment arrived for Zhao Mingzhu to finally make an appearance.

The surrounding lights dimmed, leaving only a single beam of white light illuminating the nearby building.

Zhao Mingzhu, like a messenger chosen by the light, descended slowly from the building.

Her body adorned with exorbitantly priced jewels shone under the light, imperiously announcing to the gathered crowd that she was the sole protagonist.

A wave of envy arose among the guests. Zhao Mingzhu indeed looked beautiful, surpassing the female lead Qu Ying by several margins.

But in the novel, there was hardly any mention of the business circles of Huannan, and Zhao Mingzhu’s character was never featured from start to finish.

[Host, do not doubt life. Although we are in a novel world, the stories written in the book are only a part of this world.

The so-called male and female leads are merely the individuals with the strongest Qi Fortune in their region, but in a world with so many people, there are many with strong Qi Fortune.

Perhaps, in another book, Zhao Mingzhu is the one with strong Qi Fortune, and you are Passerby A, with no one being the absolute protagonist.]

Yun Ran’s eyes flickered in understanding. So that was it. No wonder she felt the Heavenly Dao’s restraint on her was limited after arriving in Huannan.

But after aiding Zhao Mingzhu, that familiar pressure from the Heavenly Dao resumed, something she had subconsciously overlooked.

With Zhao Mingzhu’s configuration, she certainly had the makings of a female lead, with Qi Fortune even surpassing her own mother, Qu Ying.

No wonder she could see traces of the ghost baby planted on Zhao Mingzhu but couldn’t see her malevolence.

The way Zhao Mingzhu and her ’sisters’ played with others’ lives under the guise of games, how could they be of good nature?

When stepping out of Zhao Mingzhu’s courtyard, Yun Ran regretted helping her, uncertain of the trouble this causality might bring her.

Yun Ran’s worries seemed trivial at this banquet, where she was just a Passerby A, unable to bask in the limelight.

Zhao Mingzhu’s debut was undoubtedly perfect and successful.

As the event came to a close, many guests didn’t retreat to their hotels to rest but headed directly to the estate’s private beach.

Not far away was a private dock, where guests could board yachts moored alongside and head out to sea for pleasure.

Suddenly, Yun Ran’s eyelids began to twitch.
