Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 663: First Time Losing the Desire to Express

Chapter 663: Chapter 663: First Time Losing the Desire to Express

Though they were unwilling, the truth was already on the table, and no one else could keep pretending to go along with it.

"I have no objections!"

"No objections."

"No objections."

...

After expressing their insincere opinions, no one wanted to say more, they were completely fed up!

At this moment, they were all deeply wary of Yun Ran, who really spoke her mind and challenged them!

They were afraid that anything more they said might be seized upon by Yun Ran, and they would truly lose face.

Since they had been in power, they had never suffered such indignity, especially since she was someone they couldn’t suppress.

What’s more important, Taoist Xia, who was once their ally, now stood on the opposite side.

If they still couldn’t see that Taoist Xia and Yun Ran were in cahoots, then they were truly blind.

All these factors combined made these old men, full of condescending superiority, lose their desire to express themselves for the first time.

The scene fell silent, but Yun Ran didn’t feel it was her fault, and instead ’kindly’ asked a question. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"This issue has been resolved, you all can continue discussing other matters."

As for the other matters they mentioned, whether she would continue to express opinions if it displeased her, that couldn’t be guaranteed.

Everyone: ...

What should have been a good engagement was completely ruined by the presence of Yun Ran, such an anomaly, leaving them with no interest to continue the discussion.

The Great Clan Elder of the She Family also felt it was all in vain, and there was no longer any need to discuss the following matters.

Who didn’t know that this so-called conference was just an opportunity for their own internal people to ’divide the cake’?

Now that someone had exposed them and disrupted the meeting, who had the mood to continue discussing these things?

Then with a light cough: "We’ve more or less covered earlier points, for now, let’s freely share some past experiences."

According to the routine before, once everyone divided the corresponding cake, they could proceed to the exchange and sharing.

In other words, it was the next phase of mutual flattery.

Finally, they would eat and drink, and then the conference would end perfectly.

The Great Clan Elder of the She Family thought that, later on, when everyone showcased their family’s achievements, even with Yun Ran’s thick skin, she’d be embarrassed to jump out again, right?

His words were like a signal, as soon as he finished speaking, everyone immediately stood up and left the negotiation table.

Then, in groups of twos or threes, familiar folks began to gather for friendly, intimate exchanges.

Yun Ran and Taoist Xia naturally became those ’unintentionally’ isolated by everyone.

But, neither Yun Ran nor Taoist Xia seemed to care much about being isolated.

Yun Ran glanced at Taoist Xia, who had revealed a new side, and chuckled lightly: "Didn’t you just say earlier that I should act according to your cues?

Some of them spoke in such suffocating ways, it’s only natural I stepped on them a bit, why didn’t you resist jumping out yourself?"

Taoist Xia naturally understood that Yun Ran was teasing him.

"What else could I do, did you really think I was already half-buried? Before, I just had no opportunity to break away.

Now, this was the perfect chance to reveal my true self, it’s like I used you, I’m worried you might be angry with me."

"Not angry, but are you sure revealing your true self won’t affect you?"

People who previously had a good relationship with Taoist Xia were now all ignoring him, even though no one openly declared anything childish like a break up.

But still, these people in the future would definitely not be close to Taoist Xia.

They might even constantly keep a cautious eye on him, and if given the chance, would stomp on him hard.

"It doesn’t matter, with my current status and position, they can’t touch me anyway."

Thinking of something, Taoist Xia looked at Yun Ran with a slight ingratiating smile.

"So, at some point, could I bother you to put in a few good words for me with others at the Special Administration Bureau?

It’s not like I meant to hide it from them, it’s just that I had no choice..."

Before, he could still rely on his ’age’ to pretend to be brothers with Daoist Qingmu and others, now he inexplicably felt a bit guilty.

"I thought you had planned your retreat when you revealed your true self."

Taoist Xia’s eyes showed some guilt. He had indeed planned, according to his original plan it would take a few more years.

But just now, it was a flush of emotions, and seeing someone as young as Yun Ran dare to directly confront others in such a setting,

He had the timing and favorable circumstances, so naturally, he exposed himself in advance.

Yun Ran didn’t plan to mock Taoist Xia, after all, they had once shared life-and-death moments.

"Don’t worry, we are on the same side after all, I’ll definitely put in good words for you!"

With no more worries, Taoist Xia immediately crumpled the nearby disguise items and tossed them into the trash bin.

Yun Ran: ...

It seems that Taoist Xia truly didn’t like dressing up as an old man before.

Beyond where Yun Ran and Taoist Xia were the focus, the engagement meeting became meaningless because of the two of them.

The segment that everyone used to love the most, pumping each other up with praises, lost its charm.

Especially since Yun Ran and others showed no restraint, sitting there so boldly, laughing loudly.

It really affected them.

"Well, I have some things to tend to at home, so I’d like to leave first."

"Is that so, I also have some matters, should we leave together!"

"I also have someone to meet..."

In no time, many people went to bid farewell to the organizer of this engagement, the Great Clan Elder of the She Family.

It’s not just these people who wanted to leave, even the Great Clan Elder of the She Family himself wanted to leave.

In the past, everyone would wait until nightfall, fully satisfied, before leaving.

The Great Clan Elder of the She Family glanced out the window, the sun was shining brightly, there were still at least several hours until dark.

He sighed lightly; today’s engagement was completely ruined.

Then he nodded: "Alright, if you have things to do, go ahead and attend to them."

Humans have a herd mentality, seeing some leaving, others began to invent various reasons to leave.

In less than half an hour, the engagement that was once full of people suddenly lost a third of them.

Seeing the venue suddenly become much emptier, Yun Ran wasn’t embarrassed at all, and instead felt the air was much fresher.

Anyway, she wouldn’t leave early, she planned to wait for the evening buffet.

Taoist Xia had mentioned there would be lots of good food.

The ones who didn’t leave didn’t want to be there either, they just had to give face to the Great Clan Elder of the She Family, at least they couldn’t leave before he did.
