Chapter 358: What’s the Difference Between You Being Here or Not
Xu Cuihua brushed off the snow on her body and turned to run outside.
When she reached the door, she looked back and glared fiercely at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran was not afraid of Xu Cuihua’s gaze at all; instead, she glared back even more fiercely.
Being glared at by Jiang Ran like this, Xu Cuihua ran even faster.
The remaining people looked at Xu Cuihua running away and then at Jiang Ran, and finally remembered how fierce Jiang Ran used to be.
This was someone who could slap you flying with just one hand.
Even if they hadn’t seen Jiang Ran slap someone flying, they had just seen her easily lift Xu Cuihua up.
Xu Cuihua, a full-grown adult, must weigh at least a hundred pounds, yet Jiang Ran picked her up with one hand and walked away effortlessly.
What kind of strength is this!
Thinking about how they caused trouble earlier with Xu Cuihua, the skin on everyone’s body tightened a bit.
Not daring to stay longer, everyone said goodbye to Wang Cuilan.
As for Jiang Ran, no one dared to talk to her now.
When they walked past Jiang Ran, they all kept their distance.
Jiang Ran didn’t mind this at all.
With others afraid of her, naturally, they wouldn’t cause her trouble, which was a good thing.
Compared to endless trouble, Jiang Ran preferred that these people avoided her.
Jiang Ran was willing, but Wang Cuilan was not.
Wang Cuilan walked up to Jiang Ran, looking at her with concern, "Ranran, why are you taking the lead on this? Let Pei Huai handle it."
Speaking of this, Wang Cuilan turned to Pei Huai, "Why are you just standing there? Letting Ranran handle everything, what difference does it make if you’re there or not?"
Pei Huai, after being scolded, wasn’t upset at all; instead, he sincerely nodded, "Mom, you’re right, it won’t happen again next time."
He hadn’t been able to react just now.
Jiang Ran’s action of lifting Xu Cuihua was too quick and sudden.
When he saw it, Jiang Ran had already picked her up.
If he had spoken then to ask Jiang Ran to put her down, others might have thought he wasn’t on Jiang Ran’s side, so Pei Huai held back and didn’t speak up.
Wang Cuilan didn’t know what Pei Huai was thinking and continued to nag Pei Huai until he promised it wouldn’t happen again, and only then did Wang Cuilan stop talking.
Jiang Ran looked towards the main room and saw a mess inside.
The Pei family was always diligent, usually kept tidy, and definitely wouldn’t let the house become this messy.
But now, the floor was covered with trash, with discarded peanut shells and melon seeds everywhere.
In addition to that, there were candy wrappers, apple cores, orange peels, and so on.
The table was covered with these as well.
Furthermore, there was also quite a bit of ash.
This didn’t look like someone was just watching TV here; it seemed more like a party had taken place.
Otherwise, it couldn’t be this dirty and messy.
Seeing Jiang Ran’s expression and gaze, Wang Cuilan knew what she was thinking and quickly comforted her with a smile, "It’s nothing, Ranran, it’ll be tidied up in no time."
Jiang Ran sighed, said nothing more, and just helped tidy up together.
On New Year’s Day, one couldn’t take out the trash, so they just swept it up and put it in a corner of the room.
With the table wiped clean and the floor swept, the room finally looked presentable.
Since the door had been kept open, the smoke inside had dispersed, and the smell was no longer so unpleasant.
