Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 88 - 87 I only like real gold and silver
Chapter 88: 87 I only like real gold and silver
The principal no longer tried to persuade, but instead started to invite Yun Ran to eat.
After eating and drinking her fill, Yun Ran was preparing to leave when Principal Du suddenly said, "I heard you’re selling peace charms, can I buy a few?"
Special Assistant Yan had been with Principal Du for many years and knew that the principal was very strict with himself, never having any monetary transactions with students or their parents.
This time, not only did he offer protection to Yun Ran, but he even wanted to buy something from her. Special Assistant Yan suddenly saw Yun Ran in a different light.
Yun Ran stopped in her tracks and sized up Principal Du before shaking her head: "You will have a smooth and easy path ahead; you won’t need peace charms."
She paused and then added, "Neither will your two sons."
Principal Du had his own connections and already knew that his two sons had been swapped by their grandmother, and there was an intrigue behind it.
Thinking about the incident at the Du Residence earlier, he was worried that the people behind the scenes wouldn’t let his children off easily.
As a parent, one always hopes for their children’s safety and well-being.
Hearing Yun Ran’s refusal, Principal Du was a bit puzzled. Even if the peace charms were not needed, buying them wouldn’t hurt since he was not short of money.
While they were talking, Special Assistant Yan and Old Liu tactfully left the room first.
Yun Ran didn’t need to be concerned about anything and directly said, "Your family has already been included in the protected circle, those people won’t come near you.
Having too many things is not always better. Du Xi and Du Lin attracted trouble precisely because their Qi Fortune was too abundant..."
In Principal Du’s mind, the phrase "extreme prosperity leads to decline" emerged, and he suddenly understood why Yun Ran said they didn’t need the peace charms.
"I understand now, thank you, Yun Ran, for clarifying."
When Yun Ran returned to the classroom, she saw an envelope on the desk.
One of the classmates who had previously ignored her looked over, then pretending to pass by her, muttered softly, "Don’t go!"
Yun Ran, feeling baffled, opened the envelope. It turned out to be a challenge letter asking her to go to the school’s martial arts grounds.
Xinghua School was extremely wealthy and offered various extracurricular hobby classes, with several buildings dedicated to these venues.
The original owner had been considered an ’odd ball’ in school, like a background character, and rarely mingled with others.
Now that she had arrived, someone was eagerly challenging her, which was rather interesting.
Since she had nothing else to do, she decided to go check it out, treating it like a walk.
Stuffed the letter casually into her pocket, she was about to head to the martial arts grounds, leaving the person who had rarely shown kindness by warning her quite annoyed.
"No, what is she thinking, we told her not to go, why is she rushing to get herself thrashed?"
"Hey, I heard before that she’s a weird one who doesn’t understand human language, turns out it’s true."
"Should we go watch? After all, we’re in the same class, even if we can’t help, we might at least be able to call the school doctor for her if needed."
...
The few classmates exchanged glances, then also followed suit.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, they finally reached the extracurricular building. The martial arts ground was spacious; usually, there weren’t many people here, but today, for some reason, it was particularly crowded.
Those waiting outside saw Yun Ran arriving.
They hurriedly whispered to those beside them, though Yun Ran couldn’t hear what they saidiable she손tero---uaubstantial because of her.
As Yun Ran approached, the crowd that was watching the fun automatically parted to let her through.
"That’s her; I don’t know how she offended the upperclassmen, seniors and juniors, but she’s definitely getting a lesson."
"You don’t know anything; people from prominent families also have ranks. She offended Senior Sister Si. The Si Family is the top wealthy family in Hai City, she’s doomed!"
"It’s really tragic, the last person who offended Senior Sister Si ended up bankrupt."
...
Yun Ran now heard this and felt a bit dazed— the Si Family? She had been in this small world for some time now, but had never encountered anyone from the Si Family. How did she end up offending them?
The martial arts ground was large, and as soon as Yun Ran entered, she saw about a dozen people who looked like they could fight, glaring at her menacingly.
In the middle surrounded by those people was a girl sitting with one leg cocked over the other, her demeanor haughty and aloof.
With a "snap", a set of boxing gloves were thrown in front of Yun Ran.
In the stands of the martial arts grounds where several people were sitting, Yun Ran immediately spotted Meng Yue sitting in the first row.
Meng Yue was fidgeting, and when she saw Yun Ran looking over, she quickly turned her head away.
"I heard you’re good at fighting," said Si Man, her expression mocking, acting superior. This kind of gaze was not unfamiliar in the original host’s memory.
But Yun Ran was unimpressed by such a look. With her hands in her pockets, she casually glanced at Si Man. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
She chuckled and directly tore off the other person’s pretense:"Heard from whom? I didn’t expect Miss Si from the Si Family to be so hypocritical. Why not just say you want someone to give me a proper lesson, why go through so much trouble?"
Speaking of which, she then took the challenge letter from her pocket, slowly tore it to pieces, and scattered them casually.
Amidst the incredulous gazes of the others, Yun Ran’s voice suddenly rose: "A challenge must follow the rules of a challenge, don’t be so petty!
I, Yun Ran, put up fifty million as a stake. I’ll take on any of you, no matter how many you send to fight; if you win, the fifty million is yours.
But if you lose, not only do you have to pay me fifty million, but you also have to publicly declare on Xinghua’s school website that you, Si Man, were defeated by me, Yun Ran! Do you dare?"
Ginsengfruit, watching Yun Ran being so dramatically cool, felt a sense of shame.
[Host, aren’t you being a bit too pretentious? They all have participated in the national martial arts competition and have won awards.
Si Man used the name of challenges before to deal with a lot of people, leaving them bruised without a word to utter and ultimately forcing them to apologize.]
"It seems your system’s brain isn’t very useful, seeing only my bravado, not realizing I’m deliberately provoking her.
Such a proud and strong-willed person like her can’t stand being humiliated, especially in front of so many people.
What I wanted, from beginning to end, was just the fifty million stake. I’m not the pushover that the original host was.
They’ve set me up, how can I not make them bleed? I don’t need any verbal apologies; I only like cold, hard cash."
Ginsengfruit couldn’t help but feel some sympathy towards those on the opposite side; it could already foresee their tragic defeat.
