Xu Yufen was being scolded by Wang Cuilan, pointing at her nose, causing her face to turn red.
But her face was red not just out of embarrassment.
More than anything, it was out of anger.
"Sister-in-law, I never realized before that you could speak so harshly."
"What’s this talk about scheming? We’re all family, what’s the point in arguing over these things?"
"I’m not doing this just for myself, isn’t it for everyone to make money together, to have better lives?"
"Even though the recipe is yours, haven’t I contributed too? If it weren’t for me, how would you have gotten in touch with the big boss and started making money together? Just relying on a few of you, how much can you make with those few hands?"
"The big boss has a big factory, so many people and machines. How can you not produce whatever you want? When we sell a lot, won’t the money come in?"
"We’re family; when there’s good business, I think of you all. If it were someone else, I wouldn’t even bother with them."
Jiang Ran, "..."
Wang Cuilan, "..."
Staying silent for a good while, Wang Cuilan finally found her voice.
"I have just realized your talent for talking nonsense and distorting the truth."
"I—"
Before Xu Yufen could say anything, Wang Cuilan waved her hand weakly.
"There’s nothing to discuss if we’re not on the same page. I’m not bothering to talk to you. You leave right now, and if it’s about this matter, don’t bother coming again."
Wang Cuilan straightforwardly issued an eviction order, and firmly stated her position.
Just moments ago, Xu Yufen had been wearing a smug expression, but hearing this, she suddenly panicked a little.
The reason she could live like this was not due to her own greatness.
It was because she had promised others that she had a way to get the recipe from Jiang Ran.
If she were actually kicked out like this, it would be difficult to come back and talk about this matter again.
Thinking this through, Xu Yufen leaned over the table, clutching its edge tightly with both hands.
"No way, you can’t kick me out. I’ve already promised them and reached an agreement. If you don’t agree, what am I supposed to do?"
Hearing Xu Yufen’s words, Wang Cuilan was so angry she burst into laughter.
"That recipe belongs to my Ranran, not yours. What right do you have to promise it to others? Since you promised them, it’s your own problem, nothing to do with us."
"Don’t ramble on with me about this. There’s no negotiating here, you leave right now."
Saying this, Wang Cuilan stepped forward, intending to pull Xu Yufen up.
However, Xu Yufen somehow found immense strength.
No matter how Wang Cuilan pulled, she couldn’t move her at all.
Seeing Wang Cuilan’s face turn flush and her neck thicken with effort, Jiang Ran quickly intervened to stop her.
"Mom, you rest aside, I can handle it."
Xu Yufen had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Jiang Ran’s words.
However, Xu Yufen didn’t think much of it.
Although Jiang Ran was tall, she had slender arms and legs and probably wasn’t strong.
Just as she was thinking this, she saw Jiang Ran already come forward, grabbing her arms with both hands.
As her arms were seized, Xu Yufen felt as though her hands were caught in a vice.
The sharp pain made her face turn pale and cold sweat break out immediately.
Jiang Ran applied slight pressure with her hands, "Will you stand up on your own, or should I pull you up?"
