Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 68 - 67 Beautiful Misunderstandings
Chapter 68: 67 Beautiful Misunderstandings
When the Du Family’s servant opened the door, Yun Ran had already adjusted her expression, presenting herself as the epitome of a well-behaved girl,
no matter who looked at her.
"Mr. Yun, Third Miss Yun, please come in."
Upon entering the villa, Yun Ran saw that while the Du Family’s villa was not as large as the Yun Family’s, it exuded the aura of a scholarly family everywhere.
It is said that if a genius emerges from an ordinary family, it is possible for that family to leap across social classes.
Now it seems that this is indeed the case; at least the current Du Family, in Hai City, also has a certain level of respectability.
Back then, Principal Du’s mother probably also recognized that her eldest son would soar to great heights, and feeling that she owed her younger son, she decided to use the eldest son’s child to make amends.
In fact, if she had told the truth to Principal Du at that time, with Principal Du and his wife’s careers, raising another child would not have been a problem at all.
Yet, the old lady insisted on doing something so foolish, truly an unclear mind.
As soon as she entered the main building, Yun Ran saw two skinny little boys standing quietly.
If she remembered correctly, these two children were 13 years old, but they looked only about eight or nine.
The two little boys, timid and shivering, although dressed in little suits, oddly gave off the impression as if monkeys were wearing human clothes, which was very mismatched.
Just from looking at them, it was clear they must have endured a lot previously, otherwise, they wouldn’t appear so worn.
When they passed the small garden earlier, the little girl they saw wearing a tulle dress was obviously a head taller than those two boys, clean and fair-skinned.
At this moment, there was a visual representation of kids raised freely in the countryside and a meticulously nurtured little princess from the city.
But Yun Ran slightly frowned; today was the day these two children were to acknowledge their family at a reception, it was their first day appearing in front of everyone, and such attire was clearly inappropriate.
Yun Jinyang also noticed this scene; in the past, he would have simply averted his gaze, pretending not to see.
Although he too had attended the high school in Xinghua, Principal Du was a shrewd person.
He rarely involved himself with students outside of school, and naturally, he was even less likely to get involved with their families.
Now, needing something from Principal Du, he could not ignore his two sons.
"Principal Du clearly cares a lot about these two children; find an opportunity to get these two kids changed into different clothes."
Yun Jinyang naturally ordered Yun Ran to handle this, treating Yun Ran as if she were his subordinate.
Although displeased, Yun Ran would not let her disagreement with Yun Jinyang prevent her from helping the two boys out of spite.
"I understand; you go about your business. I’ll take care of things here."
At the end of the day, the current Yun Ran could completely be seen as just a child, no matter what she does, as long as Yun Jinyang isn’t around, she can later use the excuse of a child’s ignorance.
Yun Ran’s previous reputation was already very bad; now it gave her a chance to do whatever without suspicion of being manipulated by someone.
"What are your names?"
These two children were not raised in the same place, but their experiences were quite similar, constantly hungry and beaten, living a life on edge.
Their skin was dark and rough, and their hands bore many scars, obviously from starting to work at a very young age.
The Yun Ran who suddenly appeared before the two boys, in their eyes, looked exactly like a princess from the television.
Dressed in a princess dress, adorned with diamond jewelry, and a small crown placed upon her styled hair.
Both of them suddenly felt embarrassed and very awkward.
Their voices were as small as mosquitos: "Dad has changed our names, I’m the older brother, Du Xi, he’s the younger brother, Du Lin."
"Du Xi, Du Lin, hello, I’m Yun Ran, you can call me Sister Yun Ran."
When the two of them were found, they knew it was someone named Yun Ran who told their father their whereabouts.
The two, who were initially cautious, suddenly looked up, their faces bright with surprise as they looked at Yun Ran.
"So you are Sister Yun Ran!"
Yun Ran reached out and touched their heads, hmm, their hair was too coarse and a bit prickly.
"Did you choose these clothes yourselves?"
Du Xi shook his head: "It was arranged by dad’s assistant."
"Do you like them?"
The two nodded, then shook their heads.
Before putting them on, they really liked them; the young masters on TV wore these types, but only after putting them on did they feel they looked ugly.
Yet, the servants at home thought they liked these clothes; even though they were very unsuitable, the servants did not dare suggest they change.
After all, these days, they were very aware of how much the principal doted on these two kids, promising the stars but not the moon.
Even if it was inappropriate and embarrassing, the principal wouldn’t care; he would just feel more heartbroken.
Thus, a beautiful misunderstanding was created.
Yun Ran believed that anyone who could become Principal Du’s assistant was definitely not a fool and wouldn’t have prepared just a single set of clothes.
She abruptly ’accidentally’ knocked over a cup of water nearby, splashing water on their pants.
"Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention and got your clothes dirty. Can I pick another set of clothes for you to make up for it?"
The two kids were not unintelligent, just inexperienced, and of course, they noticed how deliberate Yun Ran’s breaking of the water cup was.
They themselves felt awkward in these clothes, but they were too embarrassed to change. Now with an excuse to change, they immediately felt relieved.
"It’s okay, Sister Yun Ran, we will just change into another set."
The servants nearby, seeing the two young masters willingly talking and even being reliant on Third Miss Yun, were so surprised their mouths could fit an egg.
In this family, the two young masters were very guarded; unless necessary, they absolutely did not speak.
Even oftentimes, they would require the servants to taste the food before they would eat it.
Yun Ran beckoned, and the servant quickly approached: "Third Miss Yun, how can I assist you?"
"I accidentally got some water on their clothes just now; can I help them choose another set to make up for the mishap?"
The fact that the two young masters were willing to change clothes was good news, and the servant quickly led the way: "Right this way, please."
At that moment, a tortoise as big as a basin slowly crawled out from under a chair, its head still turned towards Yun Ran, its voice carrying a hint of disdain.
[Idiot! Another woman trying to fool and please the young masters, just wait, she’ll be proven wrong eventually. The young master is someone who plays dumb but catches the wise.]
Yun Ran: ...
