Chapter 915: 915: Leverage
“As for me, I got third but our great-grandfather only nagged me for a little while. As soon as I started crying, he stopped. Do you know why?”
Di Anran grew up in a wealthy family and obviously knew about hidden messages in people’s facial expressions. She hid her own emotions, smiling while asking softly, “Maybe you could tell me why?”
“Why? This is all because of history.”
Di Ranle sighed before she continued, “Sister Anran, I really feel sorry for your family. Initially, your grandfather was the one that great-grandfather wanted to inherit the throne. Who would have thought that it would end up in the hands of my grandfather instead?”
Seeing how Di Anran wasn’t responding, Di Ranle continued, “For me, no matter if it is your family or mine, I am merely a princess and will be married off. It really doesn’t matter who becomes king. It is a fight for the men, and not meant for us women. Anran, I am taking you as my younger sister, which is why I am telling you this.
“If you want to return to the royal family, it is simple. There isn’t much money left for the family, but the Di family from Country Z is loaded. If you can get them to return, great grandfather would be delighted. He will definitely make you a princess, even if you don’t win the compet.i.tion.
Di Anran couldn’t help but fake a smile as well, “You really are a child since you are still saying such cute things. You know that I was kicked out of the family, and now you’re telling me this? Do you take me as a joke?”
Di Ranle chuckled before saying, “I knew that you would take this the wrong way. Think about it. Your family has thoroughly hurt your great grandfather’s heart, but do you know why he still wants you back? Why is it that your biological father already showed the intention of coming home, but he isn’t allowed to? The fact is that our great-grandfather isn’t a peasant’s grandfather or father. He is still a king. He has to think of the bigger picture, especially the country. He only wanted financial support from the Di family in Country Z.
“Well, of course, Country Z is a huge country and the Di family isn’t the only one who is wealthy. Even the Zhan family is now at the same height as the Di family.”
Di Ranle’s words caused a s.h.i.+mmer in Di Anran’s eyes.

As she was reminded of her Third Brother, she felt as if her heart was sliced once again.
She was 20 years old and had been born into a wealthy family. She had dominated the Imperial City and had met all the men available. The only one that caught her eye was Zhan Lichuan.
She had always a.s.sumed that Zhan Lichuan would be hers, until the day when he became paralyzed.
When he got into the accident, her heart was shattered. She gave up on him since her ident.i.ty wouldn’t allow her to marry a paralyzed man, but when he fully recovered, her life was the one that turned into chaos.
In fact, if she was still the young miss of the Di family, she really wouldn’t care about being a princess of this country. It was nothing great for her.
However, now she needed it desperately.
Especially when Di Ranle spoke about the Zhan family. It made her want it even more than before, as this was the only way for her to beat Di Jinqian.
“Why did you bring up the Zhan family? The Zhan family is not related to the Di family at all. Did you really think that because of what I said, they will move the entire Ops Corporates to Country B?”
“I didn’t say that, but Anran… Your father is in the mafia. Doesn’t he have a.s.sa.s.sins working for him?”
