Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Yun Jinyang thought for a moment and said to his assistant next to him, "Arrange things to be handled this week as soon as possible, I need to go to the Capital City."

Old Liu quickly glanced at Yun Jinyang; his face was filled with worry, without any hint of sly delight.

Only then did he slightly ease his mind. If Yun Jinyang had the idea to follow Yun Ran to the Capital City to climb the ranks by meeting a Noble, Old Liu would have to create some obstacles to prevent it.

After instructing the assistant, Yun Jinyang looked at Old Liu again: "You're coming with me!"

Old Liu did not refuse and promptly nodded, "Yes, Young Master!"

Yun Ran, still unaware, didn't know that Yun Jinyang feared she was too young and might be easily fooled, so he also planned to go to the Capital City.

The plane landed directly at the old residence of the Wang Family, surprisingly surrounded by mountains.

Just off the plane, a familiar face appeared in Yun Ran's line of sight.

Wang Qianyu was wearing a custom-tailored suit with a suitably pleasant smile, steadily approaching.

"Lady Yun, nice to see you again."

"It's you. Are you the ninth son of the Wang Family?"

Wang Qianyu slightly apologized to Yun Ran: "Previously, I hid my identity. I hope Lady Yun can forgive me."

Yun Ran understood that in these big families, unless it was necessary for appearances, they typically wouldn't actively reveal their identities.

Of course, more importantly, she had merely crossed paths with this person with no personal connection. It wasn't illegal for them not to inform her of their identity, so why should she be angry?

"It's a trivial matter; the ninth son needn't worry about it."

While on the plane, Yun Ran had already inquired that this ninth son, although considered part of the Wang Family's Direct Branch, was not from the main house.

He had some status and influence, but there were many people above him.

The fact that someone with a moderate rank was the one inviting her suggested an urgent situation that forced their hand.

Wang Qianyu learned about Yun Ran's character entirely from previous documents.

But when he really interacted with Yun Ran due to a mutual interest, he found she seemed particularly easy-going, which made things much simpler.

The Wang Family lacked neither resources nor money; they feared no one could get things done even if paid.

"I'll have someone take Lady Yun to rest for a while..."

Before Wang Qianyu finished his sentence, Yun Ran interrupted him; she belonged to the younger generation, prioritizing efficiency.

Unlike the older generation, who placed a premium on appearances.

"No need, first take me to see the person we need to rescue. If I can help, then we can discuss the reward. If I can't, I won't waste your time."

The people who came with Wang Qianyu were all wearing identical servant uniforms.

Upon hearing Yun Ran's words, a man who appeared to be in his forties directly looked at Yun Ran with a hint of reproach in his gaze.

It seemed like Yun Ran's words violated some rule, especially when his gaze swiftly turned into contempt.

Yun Ran's gaze instantly met his, her tone carrying a hint of casualness: "Does the Wang Family make even the servants exceptionally precious?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qianyu turned sharply and happened to see the fleeting contempt in the eyes of the middle-aged man.

A rush of anger surged to Wang Qianyu's head; he had spent so much effort inviting Yun Ran over.

Yet now, the situation was almost ruined by a servant!

Especially thinking that this person was sent by the old mistress, ostensibly to help welcome Yun Ran but actually to gather information, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

However, with Yun Ran present, he naturally couldn't expose some internal Wang Family conflicts.

He immediately reprimanded the middle-aged man: "Someone, take this person who broke Wang Family rules away!"

Yun Ran watched lightly the entire time, even raising her eyebrow at the middle-aged man.

Others might consider the Wang Family's standing and let it slide, given that it was just an insolent glance; most would bear it.

But for Yun Ran, any grievance received from someone must be returned tenfold.

The bigger the family, the more they valued face, losing face in front of guests, and being called out by guests directly.

Even if this person was a Relationship, well-regarded, in the future, he would likely only be relegated to a cold bench.

If anyone dared to show contempt, she'd directly cut off their future.

Yun Ran's lips curled into a faint smile: She's really a wicked person, hee-hee~

The middle-aged man was taken away by a few people dressed as bodyguards; from their gestures, it was evident he was speechless with bitterness.

This little episode passed, and Wang Qianyu checked Yun Ran's expression, noticing no dissatisfaction from neglect or offense, instead seeing an ever-present smile.

He didn't understand Yun Ran's mood, but he understood she was entirely different from the people he'd known before.

"Since Lady Yun isn't tired, let's go see now."

Yun Ran nodded, Ginsengfruit quickly following with no one stopping him, and even his large suitcase had someone carrying it behind him.

The Wang Family's old residence was truly vast, seemingly spanning several mountain tops.

On their way to the destination, naturally, they wouldn't walk, for vehicles were already waiting for them.

After ten minutes, the car stopped, revealing a courtyard that looked at least a few hundred years old.

Even before entering, Yun Ran could smell the ancient essence of the old residence.

Such a residence, anywhere else, would surely be protected as a heritage building, not meant for habitation.

The courtyard before her showed signs of being lived in everywhere.

Before reaching the gate, standing there was a man with gold-rimmed glasses, clearly exuding an elite aura.

Upon seeing Wang Qianyu and Yun Ran, he slightly bowed, "Greetings, Ninth Young Master, Lady Yun."

Blocked by this man, Yun Ran glanced at Wang Qianyu, evidently waiting for his explanation.

Wang Qianyu felt a bit embarrassed, then explained: "Clan uncle's status is rather special; everyone who comes must sign a confidentiality agreement..."

Previously, others invited by the Wang Family had turned back in anger upon reaching the gate when asked to sign the confidentiality agreement.

Wang Qianyu originally planned to inform Yun Ran in advance, but Yun Ran's efficiency made him unsure how to broach the subject.

Just as he was about to say the Wang Family had no intent to offend, he saw Yun Ran had already taken the pen, glanced at the agreement, confirmed there were no issues, and signed her name swiftly.
