Chapter 38: 38 Overnight Wealth (2 more updates)

They didn’t make a move right away, instead waiting for the investigation results of those they had dispatched.

They were even more eager to ascertain whether the person secretly bolstering Yun Ran’s momentum intended to use her to the Yun Family’s disadvantage.

But after a long search, they found no one backing Yun Ran; instead, they discovered that Yun Ran had connections to the Zhu Family and the Qu Family.

When they wanted to continue their thorough investigation, they received a warning.

A major project highly valued by the Yun Family was ordered to halt for a three-month rectification, causing them a loss of at least ten billion.

What alarmed them even more was that they had no idea who had warned them.

Now, they were nowhere near stable, resorting to forceful measures to demand Yun Ran’s immediate return.

Yun Ran had only been let out for a few days, and she had already put considerable pressure on them.

If Yun Ran was allowed to remain outside for longer, the Yun Family might face unprecedented trouble.

What was even more shocking was that Yun Ran had been with the Yun Family since she was six, and they had watched her grow up, yet they had no idea that she possessed techniques from the Xuan Sect, revealing just how deep Yun Ran had buried her secrets.

People with such abilities were not to be trifled with; ordinary folks could provoke serious enmity, perhaps leading to their downfall without even knowing when.

Yun Jinyang sighed softly, “We all misjudged her; she’s no mere lamb to the slaughter.

However, over the years, she has been compliant, never using her power against anyone, perhaps out of gratitude for the Yun Family’s nurturing.

Now that she’s dropped her disguise, it’s likely that she’s matured, and the person behind the scenes who has been cultivating her for so long wouldn’t always let her be exploited by the Yun Family.

We can no longer deal with her using our past methods, especially my mother; you’ll need to restrain her from now on.

This girl’s scheming is so patient and deep, she can’t be short-sighted. As an orphan, without sufficient support, her future would be nothing but a tool for others.

She grew up in the Yun Family, knows the family well, and has emotional ties. As long as we offer her enough benefits, it will also become a source of support for her, and she’s unlikely not to be so foolish as to confront the Yun Family.

Anyone would prefer to climb higher rather than be trampled underfoot. For the Yun Family, this is also an opportunity. Cooperation is a win-win situation, and it would be even better if we could connect with the person behind her.”

Yun Shaotang nodded, obviously agreeing with Yun Jinyang’s analysis.

The Yun Family was wealthy, and both he and Yun Jinyang were clearly not satisfied with the family’s current situation.

But climbing higher was difficult for them; without a Noble’s help, they wouldn’t even dare to reveal their ambitions.

They feared offending someone higher up who could crush them with a single footstep.

“Alright, you handle this. We must ensure that the Yun Family gains the maximum benefit before she comes of age!”

Yun Jinyang instantly understood his father’s intentions; if Yun Ran was smart and used the Yun Family to elevate her own status, they would cooperate.

But if Yun Ran was ignorant, then while her guardianship was still in the hands of the Yun Family, they would squeeze every last bit of value from her, ensuring Yun Ran wouldn’t have the chance to break away from the Yun Family and seek revenge.

After returning to her room, Yun Ran thought of nothing, merely washed up and went straight to sleep.

The next morning, the attitude of the house servants changed 180 degrees. It was as though she wasn’t the Yun Family’s burden but instead had the status of a young master.

Yun Wan, with her huge dark circles, was silent throughout breakfast and then boarded the car to University City like a ghost.

This was the first time that she and Yun Wan did not quarrel, making Yun Ran, who retained the memories of the original host, feel somewhat unaccustomed.

“Ding”

Yun Ran looked at her phone; a bank card previously arranged by the Yun Family showed a deposit of one billion.

Ginsengfruit was stunned: [Why is the Yun Family suddenly making such a generous move!]

Previously, Yun Ran’s allowance was ten thousand a month. According to the Yun Family’s standard, it should have been fifty thousand, but Qu Ying, the troublemaker, deliberately reduced it to ten thousand.

Yet even this ten thousand would often be siphoned away by Qu Ying under the pretense that Yun Ran, being a child, shouldn’t carry too much money on her.

It was nothing but fear that if the original host had money, she might make other friends outside, and then she wouldn’t be so easily controlled.

For the second and third generations of wealthy families, not all are extremely materialistic, but at least they dislike those who never treat and always mooch off others.

The saying “No money, no confidence” holds true; the original host was inferior and didn’t socialize with her peers, so very few really knew her.

Even when various rumors surfaced, no one spoke up for her, and some even subconsciously felt that such odd behaviors from someone like her were normal.

Now, this billion that was transferred to her, for Yun Ran, felt like a person on welfare suddenly striking it rich, dazing her completely.

But Yun Ran was only dazed for less than two seconds before deciding to transfer the money away promptly, not because she feared the Yun Family would go back on their word and ask for the money back.

Instead, her card could be accessed by Qu Ying, who might take the money away at any moment.

It took Yun Ran half an hour to finally transfer that sum to various accounts.

Now Yun Ran finally felt the relief of secured gains.

“Ranran!”

Hearing the familiar voice, Yun Ran wasn’t surprised at all; whenever Qu Ying wasn’t around, she always felt like the other shoe had yet to drop.

Yun Ran turned to look and her eyes flickered; she didn’t expect that Qu Ying would mess herself up to such an extent in just the week she was gone.

Not only was she pale, but she also seemed to have been through a serious illness.

“Where did you put all that money!”

Qu Ying’s gaunt face, her large eyes Piercingly fixed on Yun Ran. The formerly feigned kindness was nowhere to be found on her face now.

Had it been the original Yun Ran, she would have been trembling beneath Qu Ying’s gaze, but Yun Ran herself was not frightened.

Yun Ran spoke in an indifferent tone: “What money? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Qu Ying’s voice suddenly became shrill: “You’re still lying, how did mother teach you, good girls don’t lie, nor are they vain.

You’re still young, you can’t distinguish right from wrong, having too much money will lead you astray.

Look at what you’ve done now, transferring all that money out, you’ve let mother down!”

Yun Ran: …

She truly didn’t want to deal with such self-contradictory and irrational logic, wondering how such a unique yet contradictory thought process formed.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying. What do you want with me early in the morning?!”
