Xu Yufen felt like her hand was going to break.
Hearing Jiang Ran’s cold and emotionless words, she no longer dared to act tough.
"I’ll go by myself, I’ll go by myself."
Hearing this, Jiang Ran finally let go of her hand.
Once freed, Xu Yufen immediately jumped up from the stone bench, rubbing her wrists with both hands.
Even then, she still felt intense pain.
It was as though the pain had reached her bones, like they were about to shatter.
Clearly, Jiang Ran appeared tall and thin, not like someone strong, so why was her strength so great?
Faced with Xu Yufen’s puzzled gaze, Jiang Ran smiled, "What’s wrong? What are you looking at? Or what are you doubting? Do you want to try again?"
As soon as she said this, Xu Yufen, who had just been staring at Jiang Ran, instantly averted her eyes.
With Jiang Ran’s strength, if she wanted to hit her, it wouldn’t take more than a minute.
Just thinking about it made Xu Yufen feel as if all the bones in her body hurt.
She was somewhat scared and turned to run towards the door.
When she reached the door, she stopped again.
She likely felt the distance between her and Jiang Ran was enough to give her a sense of safety.
"Jiang Ran, why don’t you reconsider? This is definitely a win-win!"
Jiang Ran chuckled, "Why don’t you come over and try again?"
Hearing this response, what else could Xu Yufen not understand?
Jiang Ran had rejected her without a second thought.
Yet, even though Jiang Ran refused, she didn’t dare to say anything more.
With a resentful glance at Jiang Ran and Wang Cuilan, Xu Yufen jogged out the door and quickly got into the car.
Hearing the car start and the sound gradually fading, Wang Cuilan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally gone."
Jiang Ran walked over to Wang Cuilan and hugged her arm.
"Mom, there’s nothing to worry about. If she dares to come again next time, we just won’t let her in."
Simply not letting her in avoids hearing her nagging.
Wang Cuilan wholeheartedly agreed with this.
If she had known the purpose of Xu Yufen’s visit today, she wouldn’t have let her in the door in the first place.
"I never would have thought she’d join forces with outsiders to scheme against you."
Jiang Ran was a bit surprised when she first heard about it, but later understood.
For a person she hadn’t seen in decades, she wouldn’t know their temperament.
After spending two days together and figuring out what kind of person they were, it wasn’t surprising she would do such things.
Wang Cuilan was merely sighing; deep down, she wasn’t too shocked.
In her heart, she had already accepted that Xu Yufen was such a person.
"I’ll go close the door."
To prevent Xu Yufen from impulsively coming back.
Jiang Ran thought Xu Yufen probably wouldn’t come back.
But she didn’t stop Wang Cuilan.
Wang Cuilan had just reached the door when she saw someone hastily approaching.
She was startled, thinking Xu Yufen really had come back.
But as the person came closer, Wang Cuilan saw clearly that it wasn’t Xu Yufen, but Jiang Zhan.
Speaking of which, Jiang Zhan hadn’t visited for quite a long time.
After all, since school started, he had to spend most of his time studying and doing homework.
Besides, it seemed like the Jiang Family was keeping a closer watch on him, so he couldn’t sneak out here.
