Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 69 - 68 You can actually talk to me!!! (2 updates)

Watching Yun Ran’s gaze fall on the Old Turtle, the servant hurriedly introduced: "This was bought by the principal a few years ago while he was out for a walk.

At that time, it was captured and almost got eaten. When it saw the principal, it kept kowtowing to beg for help. The principal felt this Old Turtle had spiritual wisdom, so he bought it back.

These years, it has been well taken care of with fine food and drink, and has been quite trouble-free. Usually, it only comes out for strolls in the evening or when the principal is resting at home."

Having said that, the servant muttered to himself: Could it have come out so early today because it knows there’s a celebration at home?

Yun Ran chuckled, this guy indeed has spiritual wisdom. After all, it has developed spiritual intelligence, not only regarding itself as part of the Du Family but even knowing how to mock people!

Old Turtle was just casually making some sarcastic remarks and took the opportunity to stretch its limbs.

These days, with more people around the house, it’s quite noisy and it has disrupted its biological clock. However, thinking that today is the young master’s big day, it decided not to fuss over it.

But just as it stretched its neck out, Old Turtle felt an inexplicable chilly sensation on its neck—yet the weather is quite nice~

Yun Ran saw a row of clothes and picked out a set of branded casual wear for the two, then waited outside with the servant.

After the two changed, their temperament was completely different; at least they looked normal.

At the moment, Yun Jinyang was in the study ’negotiating’ with the principal.

Principal Du, when doing official business, is truly about business, but when it comes to being slick, he’s slipperier than an eel.

"Mr. Yun, it’s not that I’m unwilling to help. After all, you were once a student at Xinghua, but you should have some understanding of how Nangong operates—he has his own principles."

Allowing Yun Jinyang to come to the Du Residence for a referral was already a courtesy extended for Yun Ran. There would be no more than that.

Though he had spoken up, Nangong would definitely honor this, but the Yun Family wasn’t worth him speaking to an old classmate.

Before coming here, Yun Jinyang had already prepared for this outcome. Now that he had been rejected, he didn’t feel discouraged.

At least he now had the opportunity to meet Professor Nangong.

However, it was a pity not to have formed a connection with someone like Principal Du right away.

Who would have thought that Principal Du had so many hidden connections? No wonder he has been firmly seated as the principal of Xinghua for so many years.

In the top ten prestigious institutes across the country, many national research institutions have Principal Du’s old classmates, all of whom are heavy hitters.

"I understand, but still, thank you, principal. My sister will be at Xinghua for the next few years, so I will need to trouble you to look after her.

If you need financial support in the future, you can contact the Yun Family directly."

Mentioning Yun Ran, the somewhat cooled atmosphere suddenly warmed up considerably.

"Ranran has been kind to my two sons; I will definitely take good care of her."

Principal Du didn’t take the bait about financial support. Yun Jinyang didn’t persist and stood up to leave the study.

Many people had already arrived at the Du Residence, and Yun Jinyang would not miss the chance to network with these tycoons holding numerous patents.

Yun Ran found an opportunity to sneak away from others and located the Old Turtle hiding in a corner.

Her little leather shoes lightly kicked the Old Turtle: "You old thing, daring to call me an idiot just now, do you have a death wish?!"

Old Turtle had initially not taken Yun Ran seriously, and even when her little shoe kicked over, it just calmly retracted its head.

But it had never expected that Yun Ran could understand its words, and even talk to it.

The head that had just retracted popped out again, its eyes showing a very human-like shock.

[You... you you you, you can talk to me!!!]

"Otherwise? You’re quite clever, knowing to secure yourself a steady meal ticket. But as an Old Turtle with spiritual wisdom, you are quite a nourishing delicacy!"

The Old Turtle was terrified. How many years of peaceful life had it had? Was it going to be eaten now?

Several of its brothers had been eaten by people, who even ground their shells into powder.

The Old Turtle wanted to cry out for help, but then it saw Yun Ran cast the Concealing Decision with one hand into its body.

The Old Turtle felt as if there were golden ripples circulating within its body.

"People come and go in the principal’s house, and we can’t guarantee they are all ordinary people. The Concealing Decision can hide the aura of your spiritual wisdom. From now on, to outsiders, you’ll just be an ordinary Old Turtle.

Be more careful, don’t show this silly look you have now. If someone sees you, it’s all over. Life forms with opened spiritual wisdom are also very nourishing!"

The Old Turtle thought its life was over, but to its surprise, this woman turned out to be quite kind~

[Who are you?]

"One does not change their name, nor does one sit and change their surname, I am Yun Ran!"

The Old Turtle felt that the name sounded very familiar, but why couldn’t it remember now?

When Yun Ran turned to leave, she saw Xie Xuzhi standing not far away in the corridor, looking at her with a profound expression.

"When did you come here!"

She failed to detect Xie Xuzhi’s presence, which meant that he was carrying treasures on him, treasures that could completely conceal his aura.

"I’ve been here for a while now. Oh, I saw everything when you were teaching that Old Turtle a lesson just now."

Yun Ran: ...

But she wasn’t worried that Xie Xuzhi would take any interest in the Old Turtle. Given his status, these common life forms with opened spiritual wisdom were nothing to him.

Xie Xuzhi glanced at the Old Turtle before withdrawing his gaze.

However, he felt in his heart that the Old Turtle was quite fortunate to meet a straightforward and honest person like Yun Ran.

"Aren’t you from the Xie Family? The Du Family’s recognition banquet doesn’t have the right to disturb you, does it?"

"I’m just here to play a supporting role today."

A disbelieving expression instantly appeared on Yun Ran’s face. When have people from the Xie Family ever been just a side act? She hates those who brag the most!

But she wasn’t the kind of person to outright expose others. She quickly put on a professional smile and then turned to leave.

By now, the Du Residence had become lively, and from afar, she could see Yun Jinyang flitting about like a ’social butterfly’.

Yun Ran picked up some food from the buffet area, intending to find a quiet spot to sit down and eat. Then she heard a clear female voice.

"Was it you who told Dad that I’m not his daughter?"

Du Qianqian looked at Yun Ran with a face full of hatred. From being the apple of her father’s eye to this embarrassing situation, the thirteen-year-old girl naturally found it difficult to accept.

Yun Ran, however, did not feel any guilt and said frankly, "It was me."

"You’re not happy with your own life, so you come to ruin mine. Why are you so mean!"
