Chapter 129: Chapter 129: The Ruse of Self-Infliction

The news that Yun Rulan returned home with a bruised and swollen face quickly reached Old Master Yun’s ears. By the time he arrived, Yun Rulan had already locked herself in her room, refusing to see anyone. At the slightest noise, she would throw things, scaring everyone into not daring to call her name anymore.

"Rulan, come out and tell me what happened. Tell Grandpa who bullied you, and I’ll stand up for you," Old Master Yun said, tapping the door with his cane.

"Go away, don’t bother me!" Yun Rulan shouted loudly from inside the room, accompanied by the sound of things breaking.

"Rulan, I’m your grandfather. If you’ve been wronged, can’t you tell me? Come out and explain the situation clearly to Grandpa. I’ll stand up for you. Do you hear me?" Old Master Yun tapped his cane against the floor and shouted towards the door.

After a while, the door finally opened, revealing Yun Rulan with her swollen and red face, "Grandpa~" Yun Rulan called out, her voice thick with nasal congestion.

Old Master Yun was taken aback by the appearance of his precious granddaughter. His usually unchanged visage became terrifyingly grim. "Who exactly dared to hit my granddaughter on the Yun Clan’s turf?" He slammed his cane on the floor, his voice low but filled with anger.

"It was Lin Mengyao’s mom, and not just her, Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao too. Their family ganged up to bully me. Grandpa, you must stand up for me. If I can’t vent this resentment, I’ll feel terrible inside, Grandpa," Yun Rulan said as she started crying.

Old Master Yun’s cloudy eyes flashed with a sharpness. "My sweet granddaughter, tell Grandpa what happened, and I’ll find a way to get back at them for you. Don’t cry anymore, or you’ll become a crying kitten and won’t be pretty," he said lovingly, wiping the tears from Yun Rulan’s face.

"Nonsense! I’m the prettiest," Yun Rulan stood still, allowing Old Master Yun to clean her face, calming down a bit before narrating the events.
