Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 120: It’s their own fault for not striving to do better, who else can they blame?
Chapter 120: It’s their own fault for not striving to do better, who else can they blame?
Song Ye, who was originally somewhat worried, watched the awe-inspiring Little Paperman and immediately put his heart back in his stomach.
On the other side, after swearing and venting her anger, Yun Ran cast the Magic Spell to recall Little Paperman again, and this time, she got a response. Little Paperman wooshed and appeared in front of Yun Ran.
Looking at the Little Paperman, which was the size of a baby and had transformed from a paper doll to a toy-like appearance, Yun Ran’s anger completely dissipated.
"Master, they all wanted to catch me~"
Little Paperman, oh no, now it should be called Little Toy, voiced with boundless grievance.
"Next time if these people dare to covet you again, don’t give them face, just straight up slap them for me!"
The Little Toy was originally refined by Heavenly Thunder and had already undergone a complete transformation. Even if those Mystical Sect aristocratic families really had a master, they might not necessarily stand a chance against it.
"I knew Master is the best, who loves me the most!"
Saying so, Little Toy turned back into the palm-sized Little Paperman and obediently stuck to Yun Ran’s cloth bag.
Shen Zhe, who was watching this scene, pursed his lips and ultimately didn’t say anything.
Although he was the team leader, he did not have much say when it came to the higher-ups, nor did he have any position to comfort Yun Ran not to take it to heart.
He had realized that Yun Ran would not suffer the grievances they could.
After Yun Ran left, Wang Lin put on his helmet; his sideline was a designated driver.
All of them, apart from when they had missions, usually had their own sidelines, which were all jobs that could navigate through every corner of the city.
This was to facilitate keeping watch from the shadows at any time and also served to hide their identities.
After returning, Yun Ran saw that Yun Jinyang was still awake, sitting in the living room and diligently dealing with work.
This made her a bit curious. The Yun Family didn’t lack a study, and she had seen Yun Jinyang dealing with the company’s work in the living room countless times.
"Big Brother, why haven’t you slept yet?"
Glancing at the clock not far from the living room, um, it was already three in the morning.
"I heard from the servants that you went out alone today without a driver. The company happens to have a lot of things unprocessed, so I waited for you."
Yun Ran: ...
This feeling of being waited for didn’t give Yun Ran any warm fuzzies.
If she were the original owner, who had been neglected and bullied since childhood, and is now so cared for by the eldest son of the Yun Family, she would definitely be moved to tears.
Unfortunately, she was not the original owner. She didn’t lack love, and such small favors only showed her Yun Jinyang’s attitude, nothing more.
"Big Brother also needs to take care of his health. Staying up late like this is not a good habit."
Now it was Yun Jinyang’s turn to be at a loss for words.
After a silence of two seconds, Yun Jinyang changed the topic: "Hmm, don’t worry, I have a sense of measure. Also, we are setting off for Huannan tomorrow, so make sure to rest well."
Was this leaving ahead of schedule? Yun Ran didn’t think much of it and nodded.
Just after getting back to her room, her phone chimed with a notification of a new deposit. If it were before, she might have been excited.
But now, with so many bonuses, she had become numb. At the moment, she only wished for Merit.
As she thought this, streaks of golden light assimilated into Yun Ran’s body.
Yun Ran: ...
So Merit could be wished for? Just when she was thinking about it, a wave arrived.
The previous discomfort in her body caused by being shunned by the Heavenly Dao suddenly lessened a lot.
Ginsengfruit also benefited: [It seems I need to pick more fights with those Evil Cultivators. This Merit is really like free money.]
Yun Ran also agreed with Ginsengfruit’s point. Since that was the case, she wouldn’t be polite anymore.
Little Paperman had swallowed a considerable amount of Evil Energy, and if it encountered the same type of Evil Energy again, it would detect it instantly. By then, she would not hold back her blows.
Feeling better, Yun Ran happily lay down and drifted into dreamland.
But for many people, it was a sleepless night.
After finishing the last document, Xie Xuzhi rubbed his temples and then turned to look at Gu Yuan in the office corner.
"What are you still doing here?"
Gu Yuan: ...
He really wanted to protest his innocence. Was it his wish to stay here like a guardian deity?
Suddenly, Gu Yuan looked at Xie Xuzhi with a face full of grievance: "Boss, how can you say that without a conscience? Am I willing to be here?
Don’t forget, today I was on your side. Didn’t you see the look my second uncle gave me as if he wished to send me back to the foundry for remolding?
And you, you could have easily vetoed those people’s proposals, but you insisted on this democratic charade and even used Yun Ran’s mouth to insult them.
They don’t know that once you decide on something, it’s never going to change. It’s just a lesson for them to slap their own faces."
Xie Xuzhi did have a good laugh, feeling caught between a rock and a hard place, oh, what a life, when will it end.
But compared to others, it seemed more miserable. With this comparison, he felt slightly less miserable himself.
Thinking this, Gu Yuan felt a bit more comfortable.
Those people thought that because Xie Xuzhi was not from the Xuan Sect, he would be subject to their control.
But they didn’t know that even if someone was from the Xuan Sect, they were still human, and humans have weaknesses. Xie Xuzhi was best at manipulating hearts.
If they followed Xie Xuzhi, at worst they would be left sitting on a cold bench, but if they opposed him, he wouldn’t start by directly pressing them with power.
Instead, he would slowly torment those people to death, and make them feel that their woes were due to not knowing what’s good for them, not because their deputy director of the Special Administration Bureau was unjust.
Listening to Gu Yuan’s complaints, Xie Xuzhi chuckled lightly: "Heh, didn’t I give them a chance? It’s their own failure, who’s to blame?"
Xie Xuzhi’s ’democracy’ was always just a performance of ’democracy’ arranged by him.
"I think Yun Ran is really angry, you used her mouth to offend those Mystical Sect’s people. They wouldn’t dare to vent on you, but they will surely turn toward Yun Ran.
Not to mention, Yun Ran has many good items on her, just the Little Paperman alone has made them envious. There are quite a few who know she has even more treasures."
At that time, Yun Ran could withstand Heavenly Thunder and refined many of her Magic Artifacts with Heavenly Thunder. Before, everyone hadn’t set their sights on Yun Ran.
This time, the strength demonstrated by Yun Ran’s Little Paperman was enough to bring her to everyone’s attention.
"She is not as weak as you think, and besides, how do you know she would fear those people?"
