With Jiang Zhi’s words, Jiang Ran felt much more at ease.
As for Jiang Zhi’s character, Jiang Ran didn’t claim to understand fully, but had some insight.
Jiang Zhi isn’t a short-sighted person, nor would he do things that harm others without benefiting himself for petty gains.
He would never do things like what Chen Meirong did.
If Chen Meirong had let Jiang Zhi know before doing those things, Jiang Zhi would have definitely stopped her.
However, even knowing it now isn’t too late.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ran turned her head and met Wang Cuilan’s eyes full of concern.
"Ranran, how did it go?"
Jiang Ran nodded, "Mom, don’t worry."
Wang Cuilan sighed, "Don’t worry! Don’t worry!"
Although she said so, Jiang Ran knew that Wang Cuilan wasn’t at ease at all.
After all, knowing someone is lurking in the shadows watching your child, trying to plot against them, how could anyone be at ease?
But this matter, no matter the urgency, needed to allow Jiang Zhi time to handle it.
Wang Cuilan understood this point, so she didn’t say much.
Later, when Pei Baoshan came back, Wang Cuilan found a moment to tell him about it.
After listening, Pei Baoshan turned red with anger, stood up immediately, and said he’d go settle accounts with Pei Baoshu’s family.
Even outsiders hadn’t considered such things, but Pei Baoshu’s family had gone so far as to calculate against their own people.
Such things, anyone else wouldn’t do them.
Seeing Pei Baoshan so angry, Wang Cuilan didn’t stop him at first.
After Pei Baoshan vented a bit, she then spoke softly.
"You think I’m not angry? But now it’s not the time for anger or to go confront them."
"Ranran already called them today to see how they handle it first."
"If they handle it well, that’d be great. If not, we’ll definitely stand up for Ranran; we can’t let her be wronged like this."
Pei Baoshan wasn’t an impulsive person and understood that Wang Cuilan made a lot of sense.
After thinking for a bit, he agreed with a nod.
"Alright, let’s do as you say. We’ll wait and see."
Though Pei Baoshan said he’d wait, he was still holding in his frustration.
Who knows how long they would have to wait?
If there wasn’t any news from them, should they just keep waiting?
Fortunately, they didn’t have to wait too long.
Two afternoons later, the door of their house was knocked on.
Hearing the door being knocked without any pattern, but rather urgently, Wang Cuilan, even before opening the door, already had a guess in her mind.
When she reached the door, instead of hurriedly opening it, she asked first, "Who is it?"
"Sister-in-law! It’s me! Open the door!"
Xu Yufen’s voice came through the door with a hint of panic and sobbing.
Upon hearing Xu Yufen’s voice, Wang Cuilan’s anger flared up immediately.
"Didn’t I tell you last time? From now on, we go our separate ways. Don’t come over anymore. It’s only been a few days, and you’ve already forgotten?"
"Sister-in-law, we’re still family after all, even if bones are broken, tendons still connect. You can’t do this! Look, the weather is gloomy, looks like it’s going to rain. Even if you’re angry at me, you can’t let the kids suffer outside, right?"
