Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom

Chapter 558: Do You Think I Need Anyone’s Protection?

Jiang Ran walked out of the living room and soon reached the front door.

She stepped out the door and casually closed it behind her. As soon as Jiang Ran turned around, she saw a person sitting at the bottom of the steps.

She could only see the back and not the face.

But the person’s clothing was very familiar to Jiang Ran.

After all, she had just recently met this person. There was always some impression left.

Seeing him sitting there, Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow.

However, Jiang Ran didn’t speak up or acknowledge him. She just walked right past him.

Jiang Ran intended to leave directly, but the person wasn’t blind, naturally seeing Jiang Ran’s departing figure.

"Wait up!"

Hearing the boy’s urgent voice from behind her, Jiang Ran didn’t stop and continued walking forward.

She needed to pick up Pei Jing and didn’t have time to waste here with him.

Probably because Jiang Ran didn’t stop, the boy got anxious and quickly stood up from the ground, jogging to catch up with Jiang Ran and blocking her path.

Looking at the person blocking her way, Jiang Ran finally spoke.

"Don’t block my way. I need to pick up the kid from school."

If I’m late, Pei Jing will be upset.

After hearing Jiang Ran’s words, the boy was momentarily stunned, but he stepped aside.

As soon as he moved, Jiang Ran strode forward.

Watching Jiang Ran leave again, the boy hurried to catch up.

"Aren’t you called Jiang Ran? My name is Jiang Zhan."

Upon hearing Jiang Zhan’s name, Jiang Ran’s expression remained unchanged, and she didn’t hesitate for a second, continuing to walk forward.

Although Jiang Zhan looked like a young boy, he was evidently talkative.

"I should be your younger brother. I heard you’ve been in Beishi for a long time, but they all said you didn’t want to come home or have anything to do with the Jiang Family. I wanted to find you but didn’t know your address."

"Fortunately, I’m quite lucky. Even though I didn’t know where your address was, I still managed to meet you."

Saying this, Jiang Zhan flashed a brilliant smile, and upon careful inspection, one could detect a hint of pride.

After all, he was just a teenager; it’s normal to feel proud.

After smiling, Jiang Zhan continued, "I know you feel that the family lost you on purpose back then and didn’t even try their hardest to find you, and you’re definitely angry."

"But so many years have passed. They know they were wrong. You could give them a chance to make it up to you."

"I’ve grown up too, I’m a man now, and I can protect you in the future."

Listening to Jiang Zhan’s incessant chatter, Jiang Ran’s face showed no emotion.

What’s there to say about it?

She almost suspected that there was something wrong with the Jiang Family members’ brains.

She had already told them countless times, yet there were always people rushing forward incessantly.

They spoke so righteously, as if they were considering her greatly.

But in reality, they only thought about themselves.

Of course, Jiang Ran had to admit.

She was also thinking about herself.

This is how life is; if you don’t look out for yourself, the heavens will destroy you. Especially in situations like this, no one should make themselves suffer.

Living is already hard enough; why should she let herself suffer?

Jiang Ran cast a sidelong glance at Jiang Zhan, "I can lift the stove with one hand. Do you think I need anyone’s protection?"
