NOVPUB"Mr. Mu, are you always so idle every day?" She raised a brow teasingly.
"I am only idle for you."
It was one quick reply that made her laugh.
"Charming."
Mu Chen very quickly sent Yue Ran back to her home before leaving. He was actually very busy, and there were still many things that needed to be done, but he would always find time to accompany Yue Ran.
If there are none, then he will simply make one. 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝖔𝔪

"Mom, I'm back!" When Yue Ran arrived home, she gave Mother Yue a big hug before asking, "Where's Dad?"
"Your dad is in the study. There's something wrong with the company these days. Your dad hasn't had a good night's sleep because of it."
There was worry in Mother Yue's eyes, and she hoped that Yue Ran could help her father, but she also knew that she could do nothing, at least not right now. Moreover, she knew that her daughter had no interest in the family's company. Regardless, the Yue family would be in the hands of Yue Ran in the future.
To her surprise, Yue Ran smiled. "I'll go to the study to see if there's anything I can do for Dad."
Wasn't her daughter the most impatient with the company's affairs? Why did she suddenly change her mind?
In fact, Yue Ran knew that Rui Qin had finally made her move. Apart from the male protagonists and a few supporting actors, this female protagonist receives a lot of foreign aid; otherwise, how could she be called the female protagonist?
The current situation faced by the Yue family is that the female protagonists knew that Yue Ran was close to the three male protagonists and thus was burning with jealousy.
After all, Yue Ran did steal the attention of the men that Rui Qin was interested in. How could she not take action against her?
This kind of female protagonist with a dark mindset is extremely possessive and doesn't allow any woman to have any kind of contact with men she likes.
If God blocks, then kill God; if Buddha blocks, then kill Buddha.
Yue Ran and the female protagonists have quite a similar motto.
While thinking about this, she stepped inside Father Yue's study.
"Why did you come in again?"
Father Yue thought it was Mother Yue, thus he said this casually. But when he raised his eyes, all he saw was his daughter.
This is a rare thing. In the past, Yue Ran would never come to his study if nothing urgent was going on.
"Dad, I know who is the mastermind behind the company's issues."
Father Yue was taken aback.
"Ran Ran, do you know who it is? Have you finally taken an interest in your old man's company? But why the change of heart, though?"
"Well, I may or may not have something to do with it." Yue Ran blinked and pouted her lips, looking a little guilty. "Is this a bad thing?"
Father Yue just laughed and joked. "It's very bad indeed."
Yue Ran rolled her eyes and then circled her hands on her father's arms, lying her head on his shoulder.
These two parents really did love the original body so much that even if she always brought trouble back into the family or ruined the family's company, they wouldn't get mad at her at all.
"Then tell me, who did our little princess offend to let people suppress our company like this?"
Father Yue was still smiling as he lightly pinched Yue Ran's nose.
"It's Rui Qin." Yue Ran replied blatantly. There was no longer a need to shy away from the truth. It's time to cut off the female protagonist's wings.
He was caught unprepared by her answer.
Father Yue was a little hesitant when answering, one of his rare moments.
"Rui Qin? As far as I know, she doesn't have this huge ability."
The female protagonist's company is vulnerable when coming face-to-face with the Yue family's company, so Father Yue felt doubtful about Yue Ran's words.
"It's really her, Dad; you can check it out yourself." Yue Ran tilted her head and smiled at her father.
"Okay, okay, I'll check it out myself."
Even though Father Yue still didn't fully believe Yue Ran's words, he still called his subordinates to investigate Rui Qin regardless. After all, if he doesn't believe in his own daughter, who else would he believe in?
Father Yue is the original body's father, the father of the villainous supporting character in this plot, who adores his daughter and would not look up to or appreciate Rui Qin's talents.
He was not like the other leaders in this world, who are certain that Rui Qin will achieve great things in the future and would not mind if Rui Qin used them as a stepping stone for her to ascend to her position of power.
Fortunately, the plot hadn't yet progressed to the point where all the bigwigs in the business circle turned against each other, and the female protagonist would, of course, find a way to benefit herself in this chaos.
In any case, there is no doubt that the Yue family's company is still a giant in the business world.
Now that the Yue family's first crisis is resolved, the rest can easily be breezed over, and Yue Ran can happily continue her task: to make Lord God's life harder and to one day enact her revenge.

Jin Yao stared at the computers in front of him and sighed. He looks tired—he has dark circles under his eyes, and his short hair sticks out a little at random, like he's been pulling an all-nighter, which he did.
After looking through CCTV recordings around Yue Ran for the last week with his super hacking skills, he managed to find only one suspicious point that could only be the explanation for Yue Ran's sudden change in attitude towards him: Rui Qin.
The night before Yue Ran's sudden change of heart, she met Rui Qin.
Was this the reason why Yue Ran doesn't like him anymore?
The surveillance video only showed the two of them talking for about twenty minutes.
Since they were quite far away from the cameras around, even if Jin Yao zoomed into their faces, he could still hardly read their lips to be able to tell what they were talking about.
Everything was just a blur of colors.
This recording had long left him restless—he couldn't sleep all night.
Many thoughts were hovering in his head; he didn't really know what to think.
On one hand was Rui Qin, his Sister Qin, who had been very important to him since childhood. On the other hand, there is Yue Ran, with whom he just found out that he has romantic feelings.
Currently, he only wanted to know what exactly the two were talking about.
It was still not clear whether Yue Ran's sudden change in attitude was actually because of this or not.
He didn't want to jump into any occlusions so quickly, especially when Rui Qin was involved in them.
After freshening himself up, Jin Yao went out of his house and took a taxi to find Yue Ran.
But he never would've thought that he would see Jiang Yi and Yue Ran embracing at the gate of the Yue family's residence.
