Chapter 700 - 703: Seeking a Sense of Presence

Jiang Ran, "..."

This wasn’t what she wanted at all!

Besides, between the two of them, wasn’t there already Pei Jing? Why would they need another child?

Jiang Ran looked at Pei Huai with speechless frustration.

Initially, she wanted to retort.

But before she could speak, Jiang Ran felt it would be strange to say anything, so she simply stayed quiet.

Seeing Jiang Ran silent, Pei Huai didn’t mind.

He could somewhat guess what Jiang Ran was thinking.

No matter what Jiang Ran thought, his mind wouldn’t change.

As for everything else, just leave it to time!

The weather had warmed up, and Jiang Ran had nearly finished her spring clothing designs, so she was not as busy as before.

While teaching at school, Jiang Ran also started looking for outstanding and suitable students.

She hoped to find a few suitable candidates among this batch of graduates to work at her clinic.

This way, no matter what medicine she wanted to make in the future, it would be much more convenient and efficient.

Even when she wasn’t around, the clinic could remain open.

However, finding such people was not easy; it required patience and care.

Another important aspect was that the other party also needed to be willing.

After all, university graduates were still very sought after at this time; as long as they were willing, they could secure a stable job with promising prospects.

Being able to work in a big hospital with a stable job, who would want to come to an unknown small clinic?

Knowing that this couldn’t be rushed, Jiang Ran took things slowly.

Days passed smoothly without any unexpected events.

As life became stable and Jiang Ran remained busy every day, she’d almost forgotten about Pei Baoshu and his family.

But some people just like to show up right when they’ve been forgotten by others.

Afraid that they’d be forgotten, they make sure to pop up every now and then to remind you of their existence.

Pei Baoshu’s family was just like that.

This time, it was Xu Yufen who came to visit.

After months of no contact, she looked much more well-off than before.

Probably as a result of good food and sleep in the past few months, her previously sallow complexion had improved a bit.

Not only that, but she wasn’t as skinny as before.

When extremely skinny, one tends to look gaunt and yellow.

But after gaining a bit of weight, her complexion looked much healthier.

Her dress sense wasn’t as bizarre as before either; although she still wore high heels, her walking posture was not as awkward.

When Xu Yufen got out of the car, she really did exude some of the airs of a wealthy lady.

Seeing Xu Yufen suddenly appear at their doorstep, Wang Cuilan and Jiang Ran, just back from grocery shopping, both frowned.

Neither of them welcomed the unexpected presence of Xu Yufen.

Xu Yufen laughed before speaking, "Second sister-in-law, Ranran, it’s been a while since we’ve met. How come you don’t recognize me after not seeing me for a while?"

Wang Cuilan replied indifferently, "What do you want?"

Xu Yufen giggled, "I’m here to see you, of course for something. Let’s talk inside. It’s not appropriate to speak out here."

Wang Cuilan didn’t want to let Xu Yufen in, but Xu Yufen didn’t care and walked straight to the door.

Since she was already at the door, they couldn’t just throw her out.

After entering the courtyard, they didn’t go inside the house; Wang Cuilan sat directly at the stone table in the yard.
