The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 37 A combination of kindness and power
Yun Jingyang gave Yun Ran a deep look before turning his head to look at the obviously furious Old Madam Yun and the other Yun family ladies.

"Grandma, it's getting late. You should go and get some rest. Your aunties should go home too."

Don't be fooled by the fact that the women of the Yun family seem to have a lot of say. But once the person in real power speaks up, they can only go along with it.

This was the first time that Madam Yun had been offended by a junior like this, but now that her most beloved and valued grandson had stepped in to smooth things over, she had to give him face.

"Alright, you and your son can handle the rest."

The matriarch of the family had spoken, and the rest of the family dared not say anything more.

Even Yun Wan, who always liked to go against Yun Ran, stood up quietly and turned to leave.

Yun Shaotang's gaze was more imposing than Yun Jingyang's; after all, he was the male protagonist of the book, so naturally they were different.

If it were the original owner, such a gaze might have driven him to the brink of madness. But sitting in front of them now was Yun Ran, the most talented young Taoist priest in the history of Qingfeng Temple.

"It's already 10 p.m. Although it's not a big deal for kids to stay up late, I don't like staying up late. If you have something to say, just say it."

"Come with me to the study!"

Yun Ran raised an eyebrow. It seemed that it wasn't just for Qu Ying; there must be something very important.

Upon arriving at the study, Yunran noticed that the area around the study was equipped with motion-sensor cameras, which would immediately sound an alarm if anyone approached.

There are even the latest high-tech devices waiting here. Any eavesdropping devices or electronic devices that come here may be magnetized.

Suddenly, Yunran realized that she had been misled by the plot of the book.

How could someone as meticulous as him be a madman who gets easily swayed by women?

This is clearly an act, just like when they used Qu Ying and her burden to put on an act, to show outsiders that they are not to be feared.

Yun Ran immediately focused her attention on the two generations of leaders of the Yun family opposite her. The Yun family might be hiding a very important secret.

"sit down."

Yun Ran didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly. Yun Jingyang personally poured Yun Ran a glass of juice, which was the original owner's favorite pineapple juice.

Seeing Yun Ran staring blankly at the pineapple juice, Yun Shaotang said calmly, "The preferences and personalities of everyone in the Yun family are all recorded."

Hearing this, Yun Ran immediately understood that the head of the Yun family was telling her that everyone was transparent to him.

Therefore, it is normal for those who depend on the Yun family for their livelihood to be exploited.

Yun Shaotang's voice rang out again: "I just didn't expect that I would misjudge you one day. You're just a young girl, yet you have such a deep mind."

The original owner was simple-minded; wasn't she just completely used up, spending her life paving the way for the romance and career of the male and female leads until her death?

However, Yunran did not reply. She was not the original owner of this body; her personality and abilities were different.

Rather than letting people suspect her, it's better to tell everyone that she is scheming and has been acting from the very beginning.

At least this way, the Yun family's attitude towards her will change, and isn't the present situation the best proof of that?

The study of the head of the Yun family is not a place where a stepdaughter with a burden like a child can enter.

"For Dad to give me such a high evaluation, it seems that what I did before was quite successful."

Hearing Yun Ran accept it so readily, Yun Shaotang and Yun Jingyang felt a sense of relief.

If Qu Ying hadn't pressed them so hard, they might never have discovered that such a dangerous person was hiding in their family. If they continued with their previous actions, once Yun Ran came of age and left the Yun family, the Yun family might have a formidable enemy in the future.

Fortunately, there is still a chance to salvage the situation.

"Over the years, the Yun family has treated you well. Your mother is insecure and needs something she can hold onto. The Yun family also needs to establish a specific image for the outside world."

I'll have the finance department give you some compensation as a reward for your hard work and cooperation over the years.

Yun Ran chuckled. The Yun family's behavior truly proved the saying: "The kind are bullied, and the wicked are punished by the wicked."

She acknowledged the kindness the Yun family had shown her, and she would use money to make up for the remaining resentment.

Yunran didn't dislike this combination of kindness and severity; she wasn't someone who saw things in black and white.

In this world, there are some things you have to do to the extreme, but there are other things that are not good for you if you go to the extreme, so you can take a step back.

"Then I won't be polite, thank you, Dad."

"I'll handle things with your mother. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow. You should go home and get some rest."

Yun Ran didn't think that Yun Shaotang was being considerate of her; he just wanted to wait until she received the compensation before they could continue their conversation. Otherwise, it would seem like he was just making empty promises.

It seems that the head of the Yun family has indeed become much more cautious about her, and has not categorized her as someone who can be dealt with perfunctorily or given empty promises.

Yun Ran was immediately satisfied. It was worth it for her not to hide anything and teach the second wife a lesson, while also breaking ties with the Yun family.

"Okay, then I'll go back and rest first."

As she reached the door, Yunran stopped. Since the other party had already yielded, she should also give them some face.

At the very least, before she comes of age, the Yun family cannot allow her to perceive her as a threat or a potential adversary to the family in the future.

"My second aunt has a terrible mouth. My silencing spell is only effective for 7 days. It's just a small punishment for her. There's no need for her to panic and seek help everywhere."

Yunran opened the door and left; the surveillance footage also shows her going downstairs.

Yun Shaotang picked up a cigarette, took a deep drag, and then looked at Yun Jingyang: "What do you think of this girl!"

Yun Jingyang remained silent for a while.

A few days ago, his stepmother caused trouble, trying to bring Yunran back to keep her under her control, but he didn't take it seriously.

After all, a hypocritical stepmother who constantly proclaims herself as someone who doesn't compete or fight and is as indifferent as a chrysanthemum is advantageous to him.

Therefore, he never took such a stupid and unaware person seriously, nor did he consider them dangerous.

However, Yun Ran refused to return and even directly asked the principal of Xinghua to handle the matter personally, which aroused Yun Jingyang's suspicion.

He didn't know how Yunran had persuaded the principal to intervene, but he had a feeling that a pawn was secretly operating right under his nose.

Sure enough, a thorough investigation into Yunran's affairs revealed that all the irregularities occurred after Yunran went on her study tour.

They naturally also saw the video of Yunran telling fortunes.

At that time, their first reaction was that Yun Ran had someone behind her helping her create momentum.
