Chapter 36 Don't be so greedy! (2 updates)
Seeing the disgusted and resentful expressions on the Yun family's faces, Yun Ran immediately smiled.

The Yun family had raised the original owner for so many years, and she felt indebted to them. She accepted this karmic debt.

But the Yun family always uses these methods to suppress her, and the male and female protagonists repeatedly violate her boundaries. She no longer wants to tolerate it.

Unlike the original owner, Yun Ran didn't have a strong sense of self-esteem and reacted as if her hair had been blown off by Yun Wan's sarcasm, rushing forward to tear into her.

He glanced at Yun Wan briefly before looking away.

Yun Wan was almost provoked to the point of breaking down by Yun Ran's gaze; it was clearly mocking her as a clown!

Just as she was about to continue cursing, she saw the look her older brother gave her and immediately shut up, then obediently sat down.

This scene naturally did not escape Yun Ran's eyes, and a hint of mockery immediately appeared in her eyes.

The argument that could have been avoided with just a glance from the person who truly held power in the Yun family has dragged on for a full ten years—how ironic.

Yunran didn't want to be treated like a monkey by these people anymore.

He dusted off non-existent dust from his body, had a servant bring him a stool, and sat down directly opposite these people.

At this moment, it truly felt like she was being interrogated.

"Tell me, why are you in such a hurry to drag me back from outside? Are you short of actors on the stage? You've been watching for ten years, aren't you tired of it!"

The crowd, who had been waiting to see Yun Ran get angry and yell so they could seize on her weakness, all changed their expressions upon hearing Yun Ran's words.

Yun Jingyang narrowed his eyes as he looked at Yun Ran. He knew about what had happened in the family, but he had never interfered.

Born into such a family, one must be wary of even one's own siblings, let alone those brought from outside.

The more his younger siblings made a ruckus, the more secure his position became; sometimes, he even welcomed such a situation.

But now, Yun Ran's words are telling them that she knows what they want to see, so she has been trying to cooperate with them for the past ten years.

If that's the case, it's not good news for Yun Jingyang.

He can take care of his younger siblings equally, but he will not allow anyone to exceed his control and expectations.

"Ranran, what nonsense are you talking about?"

The Yun family members looked on with serious expressions when they saw that it was Yun Jingyang who spoke. This was not what they had expected.

Yun Ran crossed her legs and didn't answer Yun Jingyang's question immediately. Instead, she looked at the servants who had stayed behind and instructed them, "Go and prepare some food for me."

The servants who remained were there to pull her away if she got into a fight with others; this was the usual practice.

This time, however, Yun Ran showed no intention of fighting and instead took it for granted that she should prepare food, which left the servant somewhat at a loss.

The maid glanced at the pale-faced Madam Yun and the other ladies of the Yun family, and for the first time felt that she was somewhat superfluous.

"What? I'm still the third young lady of the Yun family. I'm just asking you to prepare some food for me, and you can't even order you around anymore!"

Yun Ran's voice carried a hint of anger without being authoritative, which intimidated the old lady opposite her.

At this moment, she seemed to finally believe what her disliked daughter-in-law had said: this child truly had a rebellious nature. "Hurry up and go!"

With the old lady's words, the servants immediately ran off to prepare the food.

Yun Ran didn't speak again, and neither did the Yun family members opposite her who were subtly confronting her.

Soon, the servants brought over a bowl of bird's nest porridge and some pastries, which were what Qu Ying wanted to eat and were always ready to serve.

Yun Ran finished her food in a few bites, waved away the servants, and then looked at Yun Jingyang.

"Brother, you know I've always respected you. Just tell me what you need, and if it's something I can do, I'll definitely do it without hesitation."

After all, the Yun family raised me for ten years. Although I don't like you, I wouldn't be ungrateful.

I'm already 16, a young woman now, and I'll be an adult in a couple of years. There's no need for those old-fashioned playhouse scenes anymore.

If you want to suppress me, you don't need to deliberately provoke me on one hand, and then act as if I'm unteachable and you can't do anything about it on the other.

These methods were indeed useful when I was a child. Saying that I was just a child and didn't know any better would make people imagine countless scenarios of me being a naughty child.

But now that I'm older, using such methods would seem a bit low. The Yun family is, after all, a prestigious family in Haicheng; their behavior is too unseemly!

Over the years, the Yun family has indeed benefited greatly from the image of the gentle and unassuming matriarch that Qu Ying cultivated.

It is also because such a perfect wife has a daughter who inherited her ex-husband's greedy genes that people feel sorry for her.

Even the Yun family's rivals often used this saying to mock the Yun family, thus weakening their vigilance against them.

A family needs a good reputation, but it doesn't need to be all good reputations, otherwise it will attract countless troubles. Therefore, Yun Ran's stain perfectly dispelled a lot of potential prying eyes and hostility.

It can be said that because of the existence of two extremes like Qu Ying and Yun Ran, the Yun family has gained countless unseen benefits.

Hearing Yun Ran directly state these things, the Yun family members sitting opposite her all changed their expressions.

Yun Wan's face turned deathly pale. She wasn't stupid; it was just that the pampered life she had been living over the years had blinded her. So, she was just a pawn after all?

The second wife of the Yun family was not a good-tempered person. She immediately scolded, "You are a burden. If it weren't for the Yun family, would you be able to eat well, dress well, and even attend a prestigious school?"
"Who gave you the audacity to speak like that? You're truly lawless! You inherited the trash genes. The Yun family letting you in is the worst luck imaginable..."

Yun Ran used one hand to strike, uttering the word "forbidden." The Second Madam's mouth was still opening and closing, but no sound came out.

She didn't hide her methods; she just wanted to intimidate the Yun family, to make them think she was the original owner of this body, that little dumpling.

Except for Yun Jingyang and Yun Shaotang, who hadn't spoken at all, the entire Yun family showed expressions of fear.

However, Yun Jingyang's expression changed from calm at the beginning to solemn now.

"Ranran, your second aunt didn't mean any harm, she just has a bad temper..."

"Brother, my patience is limited. You called me back not just to punish me, right? If you don't get to the point, then I'm not going to keep you company any longer!"
