NOVEL NEXT Chapter 406: Earning Extra Income
Yun Ran, who was sitting on the sofa, originally had a calm expression, but when she heard these words, she paused slightly and then looked at the other party with a puzzled gaze.
So they weren't here to cause trouble. If only they had said that earlier, her attitude might have been better.
"The Wang Family, one of the Four Great Families in the Capital City? I don't think we have any connections. Why would you come to me for help?"
The leading man was actually not clear why someone from the direct branch passed the message to them, insisting that they must find Yun Ran.
They had spent quite a bit of effort to visit her at the first opportunity.
Otherwise, they would have been angry after being humiliated by Yun Ran previously. The Wang Family in the Capital City is not to be trifled with.
Maybe because Yun Ran's attitude was a little better now, the man explained briefly.
"It's the ninth young master of the family, who went against many objections to invite Lady Yun."
Seemingly worried that Yun Ran might refuse outright, the man continued, "The ninth young master once had a brief encounter with Lady Yun and trusts her greatly. As long as Lady Yun is willing to make the journey, you may name your own reward."
The Wang Family in the Capital City is a family that can rival the Xie Family. Being able to offer a reward at your discretion means the matter is definitely a tricky one.
Yun Ran was still considering when she saw the man take out a document envelope from a bag behind him.
"This is a deposit from our ninth young master to Lady Yun."
Old Liu, who had been standing nearby as background, hurriedly stepped forward, took the envelope, checked it, and seeing there were no issues, handed it to Yun Ran.
Yun Ran was also somewhat curious about what the Wang Family had offered as a deposit.
If it was indeed generous, then she wouldn't mind earning some extra cash during this period.
"Alright, let me take a look!"
When she opened it, a land transfer agreement appeared in front of Yun Ran.
Although Yun Ran is not a business person, she could tell how valuable this transfer agreement was.
This speaks to the generosity of aristocratic families; Yun Ran immediately showed a perfectly timed smile.
"Who is the person that the Wang Family wants me to save?"
Yun Ran was satisfied with the Wang Family's sincerity, but if the person needing rescue was embroiled in big trouble, she didn't want to get involved.
Her small stature meant she didn't want to entangle herself in too many troublesome causes.
The previous matter with Xie Xuzhi had already made her give up part of her Lifebound Magical Artifact.
Seeing Yun Ran relent, the leading man finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's a clan uncle from the direct branch of the Wang Family."
This explanation did not reveal the person's identity, but Yun Ran didn't mind.
She had experience dealing with such aristocratic families and wouldn't easily expose the troubles of important family members.
Yun Ran calculated for a bit and figured there wouldn't be any major obstacles.
"Alright, then I'll go and take a look!"
Seeing Yun Ran not minding their concealment and agreeing so readily, the man quickly glanced at Yun Ran.
Now, he seemed to somewhat understand why the ninth young master insisted they come to invite Yun Ran.
Previously, their Wang Family had also sent people to invite other renowned figures, but upon hearing similar answers...
Though they remained polite outwardly, they were actually quite displeased, and their words implied boasting.
Even though the man was eager to take Yun Ran away immediately, he restrained his urgency and asked tentatively:
"I wonder when Lady Yun is available to depart; I will then arrange the flight."
"I'm available anytime."
Yun Ran's overly straightforward reply made the other party pause for a moment before they reacted and hurried to make arrangements.
"You all wait here; I'll go back to change an outfit."
Once she stepped out of the glass tea chamber, Yun Ran glanced at Old Liu and handed the land transfer agreement to him.
"Have the Yun Family find someone to handle the subsequent matters of this land as soon as possible."
For professional matters, it's best to let professionals handle them to avoid many detours.
"Alright, Miss."
Old Liu took the envelope and immediately left.
Yun Ran returned to her room and changed into a convenient outfit. When she was heading downstairs, she saw Ginsengfruit already pushing a suitcase taller than himself.
Without even looking, she knew it was all Ginsengfruit's stuff. Her belongings could fit into a small tote bag.
"Why are you carrying such a big suitcase!"
"Of course, it's to serve as a cover for you, the Host. Otherwise, others will surely guess that you have some treasure holding all your belongings."
Yun Ran didn't mind others knowing, as no one could snatch anything from her hand anyway.
But seeing that Ginsengfruit still understood the need to provide cover for her now, she burst into laughter: "Alright, in the future, let these trivial matters be handled by you."
Arranging a flight for the Wang Family only required a phone call, and once Yun Ran was out, the flight was already arranged.
"Lady Yun, the plane is ready."
Yun Ran nodded and then looked towards the temporary housekeeper: "I'm going on a trip. During this period, if anyone comes looking for me, have them register their name."
"Yes."
At the entrance, the Wang Family's car awaited outside, making it unnecessary for Old Liu to send her off.
When Old Liu personally delivered the envelope to Yun Jinyang, he didn't open it immediately.
Instead, he asked, "Do you mean Ranran left with people from the Wang Family?"
He had just learned Yun Ran was back and had planned to visit her after work to discuss something about her studies.
Who would've known that the girl left so quickly.
Old Liu, although nominally employed by the Yun Family, was essentially Yun Ran's person. He knew well what should be said and what not.
"Yes, Young Master, this is the deposit given by the Wang Family."
Yun Jinyang opened the envelope only to see that it was the piece of land he had heard about before, and his expression immediately changed.
The Yun Family has numerous industries, and while they also dabble in real estate, it's not their main focus.
A few years ago, he attended a Capital City auction and heard that a piece of prime land had been bought for a huge sum.
At the time, many people thought it'd be nice to split a share through collaboration.
Unfortunately, after inquiring around, no one knew who had bought the land.
Unexpectedly, after all this time, this land ended up in Yun Ran's hands.
Yun Jinyang understands well that the richer the reward, the more troublesome the task would be.
Yun Ran previously had deep ties with the Xie Family, and now she's getting involved with the Wang Family.
In the past, he would have been quite pleased by this, as it meant the Yun Family could gain considerable benefits.
However, now, after Yun Ran helped the Yun Family avoid troubles several times, he has sincerely developed a brotherly affection for her, worried that she might get caught in a whirlpool of trouble.
