Chapter 250 - 249: Sheâs Too Unconventional
Ginsengfruit instantly became sullen; it was being rejected by its host, its host didnât love it anymore, wuuu~~~
Song Ye frowned at the iron chains bound to Yun Ran, but he was confident that Yun Ran had a way to break them.
"What are you still doing with those chains on?"
Yun Ran, with legs crossed, swung her foot, causing the chains to clatter.
"You donât understand, Iâm now the victim. These chains are my bargaining chip, as well as my tool to wealth."
Song Ye: ...
Alright, Yun Ranâs affairs were none of his concern anyway, so he turned and followed the others to check on the situation in the dungeons.
The She Family members hadnât left yet, but at this moment they felt somewhat awkward. Since Yun Ran didnât ask them to leave before, it wasnât polite for them to go.
It seemed there was no need for them to stay here any longer.
Yun Jinyang, however, calmly sat aside, without a trace of awkwardness; he seemed quite at ease with his current role as a victimâs relative.
"Um, Third Miss Yun, we..."
Yun Ran turned her head to look at the She Family members, as well as the other people who were dragged in to bulk up the numbers.
Thankfully, Yun Ran had never relied on these people from the start. Their presence was merely to prevent her side from appearing too desolate.
Since they had fulfilled their purpose, of course she had to show them some courtesy.
"Alright, you can go back first. Later, Iâll send over a token of gratitude."
The She Family members were somewhat puzzled, clearly not grasping Yun Ranâs intentions.
But it didnât stop them from distinctly sensing that Yun Ran had no intention of currying favor with the She Family.
"Okay, then weâll take our leave first. If thereâs anything you need, feel free to contact us."
With that, the leading member of the She Family gave his private number to Yun Ran.
Regardless of their senses about Yun Ran, this didnât interfere with their completion of the task handed down by their elders.
Watching the She Family members and the others leave, Yun Jinyang approached Yun Ran and asked calmly, "Did you just eliminate them?"
Yun Ran glanced sideways at Yun Jinyang, finding, for the first time, that Yun Jinyang could be quite incisive when he spoke.
"If you were raised in an aristocratic family, that would be truly frightening."
Hearing Yun Ranâs praise, Yun Jinyang rarely showed a smile and responded, "Mutual, mutual!"
Both were smart people; after Yun Jinyang first realized Yun Ran was not simple, he immediately adjusted his attitude towards her.
And Yun Ran, even if not entirely satisfied with the Yun Family, interacted with Yun Jinyang, her elder brother, with a cooperative mindset rather than a confrontational one.
It would only be trouble for herself if she turned a smart person into an enemy simply because of a bit of personal likes and dislikes.
Yang Wu is a clear example: relying on his status, he indulged his preferences, showing disdain and bullying those of lower status, thinking everything should make way for his likings, which is what provoked her as a formidable opponent.
"If thereâs any need for the Yun Family, feel free to arrange it."
Yun Ran nodded, since she was, after all, the Third Miss Yun, she naturally wouldnât be courteous.
Of course, she would also pull some benefits for the Yun Family; an exchange of interests is the most solid relationship.
"Yeah, you go back first too. When I need you to show up, youâll show up. These next few days, the Yun Family had best keep a low profile."
Yun Jinyang understood what Yun Ran meant; just because the Meng Family couldnât do anything to Yun Ran for the time being, didnât mean they couldnât do anything to the Yun Family.
The wealthy could not compete against an influential aristocratic family without suffering a loss.
"Donât worry, I have everything arranged. For the next month, Yun Familyâs projects will be on hold."
"It wonât take a month, no more than a week and this matter will be over!"
Wang Qianyu and Zhou Ying had been closely watching the whole affair, and their people had witnessed the entire process of the incident as well.
They never expected the situation to develop like this.
If they had not taken this trip, their sense of superiority might still lead them to view someone of Yun Ranâs background through a prejudiced lens.
"Now I understand why Yang Family Master, who spends his days hunting with eagles, would fall to Yun Ran."
Up to this point, they still couldnât quite believe that Yun Ran was acting with a sense of justice in the whole matter.
In their path to growth, only family interests mattered; nothing else was important.
If they were faced with this situation today, they would have tried to cover it up and then negotiate.
But Yun Ran directly reported it, and even dared to challenge the interest circle centered around the Yang Family alone, something even they were not capable of.
For Wang Qianyu and Zhou Ying, the people wronged by Yang Family Master were insignificant; they did not have much genuine sense of justice.
Had someone told them before that the peaks of Hai Cityâs aristocratic pyramid could do nothing against a young girl, they would have scoffed.
But now, faced with this reality and a flurry of moves they had yet to unleash, they suddenly felt a bit at a loss.
Zhou Ying smiled bitterly: "I just wanted people to know she was ruthless, but now, compared to the trouble sheâs brought upon herself, my moves seem childish."
"She dares to do this, and itâs not unrelated to her being part of the Xuanmen; itâs not our issue, itâs that sheâs too unconventional. Now, itâs just to see if the aristocratic families from the Capital City will take action."
Zhou Ying sighed lightly: "Iâm afraid those families from the Capital City wonât make a move now. Weâve been confused by her wild punches, and so will the others."
At least Zhou Ying himself wouldnât take action anymore. He had no life-or-death grudge against Yun Ran, and previously it was just opportunism, beneficial for them.
There were no advantages to be had from intervening now, plus they would suffer reverse losses. Zhou Ying didnât think he was a good person, but he wasnât stupid either.
Wang Qianyu obviously understood Zhou Yingâs implication and sighed as well.
None of the aristocratic families who could hold their ground in Capital City were to be trifled with. Were it not for the strong foundation and flourishing prosperity of the Four Great Families, it would still be an open question whether they could suppress the rest.
The Kyoto Families mentioned were immediately informed, and naturally, they were furious.
The layout in Hai City had been their long-time planning, and Yang Wu was the lapdog they had carefully selected. The interests of both sides had been very solid for many years.
Messing with the Yang Family was tantamount to cutting off their own limbs. Could they tolerate that?
But before they could act, they received a portion of the evidence (the only portion) sent from the Xie Family.
The implied warning was not to get involved, or it wouldnât just be a warning, but a reckoning!
This frightened these families terribly, then they quickly made a decision: to amputate to survive, they must never allow the dog they raised to drag them down.
Song Ye frowned at the iron chains bound to Yun Ran, but he was confident that Yun Ran had a way to break them.
