Even now, suddenly seeing Jiang Zhan, Wang Cuilan felt extremely surprised.
"Why have you come at this time? Come in, come in."
Jiang Zhan greeted Wang Cuilan, then after a hesitant glance at her, he finally walked in.
Jiang Ran was sitting at the table and heard the conversation between Wang Cuilan and Jiang Zhan, so he didn’t get up and just waited for Jiang Zhan to come in.
After Jiang Zhan entered, he saw Jiang Ran sitting by the table and quickly walked over.
"Sister."
Jiang Ran gave Jiang Zhan a smile, "How come you have time to come over today?"
Jiang Zhan pressed his lips and didn’t respond immediately.
Not only did he not answer, but his expression also became very complicated.
Just by looking at his expression, it wasn’t hard to guess that he was concealing something in his heart.
He wanted to speak but didn’t know how, making him appear very troubled.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Ran didn’t press him but quietly watched, waiting for him to respond on his own.
Jiang Ran never liked forcing others.
Whatever Jiang Zhan wanted to say, it was up to him; Jiang Ran wouldn’t force an answer out of him.
After waiting for a while, Jiang Zhan finally spoke slowly.
"Actually, today, I followed... the person who just came."
The person just now?
Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow. Was Jiang Zhan talking about Xu Yufen?
"Do you mean the person who just left the front gate?"
Though Jiang Ran already had a guess in his heart, to avoid any misunderstandings, he chose to ask clearly.
Jiang Zhan nodded, "Yes. It was the person who just left the front gate."
"I saw mom talking to her before, and she even mentioned your name. I wanted to ask what was going on, but mom wouldn’t tell me. She said I’m just a kid and shouldn’t bother with these things."
"But I felt something was off, so I kept an eye on them. Today, mom went to meet her again and even had the driver bring her here. I secretly followed along."
Jiang Ran, "..."
Suddenly knowing who was secretly supporting Xu Yufen, Jiang Ran felt quite conflicted inside.
Turns out, the person plotting against me is Chen Meirong.
This result was unexpected, yet upon reflection, it made sense.
There was truly no affection between her and Chen Meirong.
For the sake of profit, it’s normal for Chen Meirong to plot against her.
Jiang Ran could think this way, but Wang Cuilan couldn’t.
Wang Cuilan was so angry that her face turned red.
"How can there be such a person in this world?"
She was a mother too, and upon self-reflection, she would never do such a thing.
Even if Chen Meirong didn’t raise Jiang Ran and there was no mother-daughter relationship developed.
At least they could leave each other undisturbed.
But plotting against Jiang Ran, trying to steal her secret, isn’t that going too far?
Seeing Wang Cuilan so angry, Jiang Ran was genuinely afraid of the harm it might cause her.
She quickly went over, helped Wang Cuilan sit down, and gently patted her back.
"Mom! There’s no use getting mad over this. They didn’t succeed anyway. Now that we know she’s the one behind it, we’ll just be more cautious in the future."
Wang Cuilan looked at Jiang Ran with a complex expression, "It’s easy to say, but there’s a saying that goes, you can stop a thief for a day, but not for a thousand days."
After saying this, Wang Cuilan suddenly remembered that Jiang Zhan was still sitting nearby.
