Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 79 - 78 Miss Three is in a bit more danger (2nd update)

No sooner had she lain down than a servant came knocking. Yun Ran opened the door with a displeased expression.

The servant cautiously glanced at Yun Ran’s expression: "Third Miss, the Second Miss has returned. She requests your presence."

She was clearly a bit afraid of this newly established Third Miss, who might criticize her harshly if she displeased her.

Yun Ran had already known about Yun Qing’s return, so she was not surprised, but she hadn’t expected Yun Qing to be so arrogant as to try to put her in her place as soon as she returned.

"I’m busy. Have her wait!"

After the door closed, the servant stood outside for a while, obviously weighing the pros and cons of offending either the Third or the Second Miss.

Seeing that Third Miss’s quarters were larger than those of the Second Miss, the servant felt more assured.

The Third Miss seemed the more dangerous one to offend.

Yun Qing returned to her own room, freshened up, and then went downstairs, only to see Yun Wan looking at her with a face full of resentment, but there was no sign of Yun Ran.

Her brows immediately furrowed as she turned to the servant: "Where’s Yun Ran?"

Although the servant had made her choice, she dared not repeat Yun Ran’s exact words. She was just a working person, still relying on her salary to pay the mortgage.

"Second Miss, the Third Miss has already gone to sleep, saying she will catch up with you tomorrow."

Yun Qing’s expression immediately darkened. She had thought Yun Wan’s words were an exaggeration.

Now it seemed this burden had really grown formidable, daring to give her the cold shoulder.

"Understood, you may leave."

The servants scattered in haste, well aware not to intrude on the conversations between the Second Miss and the eldest.

Yun Qing looked at Yun Wan, who appeared so aggrieved, especially since her face bore such a striking resemblance to her own, it made her blood boil.

"How can you, as the Yun Family’s eldest daughter, be driven out by a burden!"

If not for her own reputation, Yun Qing really wanted to knock some sense into Yun Wan’s head. What kind of proper eldest daughter allows herself to be outdone by a burden? It was disgraceful.

Yun Wan might be a bit slow compared to the other cunning members of the Yun Family, but she wasn’t truly as foolish as a pig. If she really wasn’t favored, she wouldn’t have been raised with this temperament.

She had called Yun Qing back to be her ally, not to find a ’mother’.

Especially after hearing the disdain in those words, Yun Wan couldn’t sit still anymore and plopped down on the sofa.

"What do you mean by that? I’m your elder sister. Is this how you talk to your sister?"

"Did I say anything wrong? When I left, that burden was so oppressed she was nearly mad with it. And in such a short time, she managed to turn the tables!"

Yun Wan immediately remembered that night, when Yun Ran returned with an air of icy determination, instantly subduing them all with her actions.

Her grandmother and aunts were no pushovers, but the look in Yun Ran’s eyes, that desire to crush them, literally made everyone afraid to act rashly.

In the end, Yun Ran even accompanied their elder brother to their father’s study—a privilege not even the second son enjoyed.

Thinking back to Yun Ran’s gaze at that time, Yun Wan felt her heart pounding with apprehension.

Seeing that the second eldest still carried herself with such disdainful aloofness, Yun Wan feared that her sister might be unaware of Yun Ran’s true capabilities and fall victim to her schemes.

She could only lower her voice to tell her, "That wretched girl is eerily cunning; she had been pretending all along. Aunt Qu personally identified her as the one who caused the miscarriage.

Yet, the final piece of evidence proved it had nothing to do with her. To appease her, Dad and Big Brother even gave her a billion yuan. freeweɓnøvel.com

They even vented their anger on my Second Aunt’s family, who told me about it; they’ve all been banished to some godforsaken place, and Grandma was dispatched early to the summer retreat.

And there’s me, warned by Dad to move to the apartment in University City. If I don’t go, he’ll dock my allowance."

Yun Qing clearly didn’t believe Yun Wan’s words; it’s not like she had never lived with Yun Ran before.

She never doubted her own judgment of character. In her eyes, Yun Ran is someone strong on the outside but weak on the inside, extremely starved for affection, which is why she’s been used by Aunt Qu time and again.

But this exploitation was advantageous for the Yun Family, so everyone turned a blind eye, watching Yun Ran being pushed to that extent with open eyes.

Now, to tell her it was all fake, that the Yun Family was played by a mere tagalong, Yun Qing wouldn’t believe any of it.

A person couldn’t possibly change so drastically, unless, they truly had a change of brain.

For a moment, Yun Qing wondered if Yun Ran, whom Yun Wan was wary of and whom Dad and Big Brother wanted to win over, was an imposter.

Yun Wan, however, was unaware that Yun Qing had already suspected that Yun Ran had been switched out.

She continued, "If it were in the past, if we went looking for her, she would definitely charge over like a firework and scream at us.

Now, she can keep her composure. She even says she was sleeping, do you believe that? In my opinion, that little wench is truly Aunt Qu’s daughter; she’s so good at pretending."

"Repeat to me, from when did she start changing!"

Yun Wan was originally just venting to Yun Qing, but Yun Qing’s sudden question caught her off guard.

"What do you mean by that?"

"A person won’t change dramatically for no reason; there must have been some incident. Tell me everything that happened before in detail."

Thinking of something, a thought flashed through Yun Wan’s mind, but it was too quick and she couldn’t grasp it.

In the end, she honestly repeated the events after returning from paying respects to the ancestors, how Yun Ran had changed.

"So you’re saying, that time when you pushed her and she cracked her head, after that she spent her time alone in Zhen, and you were separated from her for almost ten days?"

Seeing Yun Qing’s serious demeanor, Yun Wan was a bit frightened by her.

"No, you’re being a bit scary. You can’t possibly think she’s a fake, can you!!!"

Yun Qing had yet to speak when Yun Wan confirmed her own conclusion: "Impossible, she has grown up with me since we were little. They say the person who knows you the best isn’t necessarily your friend, but an enemy definitely knows you.

I’ve seen the ugly birthmark behind her ear, and there’s still a scar where she cracked the back of her head."

Yun Qing was silent for a while and ignored Yun Wan.

"Forget it, I’ll see when I meet her in person."

When Yun Jinyang came back, he paused while taking off his suit jacket upon hearing from the butler that Yun Qing had returned.

Qu Ying was back; he knew that, after all, even the most upscale hospital room wasn’t as comfortable as home.

But wasn’t Yun Qing studying abroad and doing well? Why had she suddenly returned?

He suddenly thought of what Yun Ran had said that afternoon, that the project he was leading might be thwarted by human intervention...
