Chapter 396: Do You Love the Body or the Soul?
Wang Cuilan said that what she mentioned was true.
Jiang Ran could leave whenever she wanted because others from the Pei Family were helping with these tasks.
But if they wanted everyone to come to beishi, it wasn’t something they could do at a whim.
At the very least, current matters needed to be explained clearly.
Jiang Ran thought for a moment, then said, "Mom, the house here is almost ready. Once it’s cleaned up, I’ll make a trip back, help arrange things there properly, and then return.
Of course, Wang Cuilan had no objections to Jiang Ran’s words and immediately agreed wholeheartedly.
In Wang Cuilan’s heart, regardless of whether things could be handled properly, at least Jiang Ran and the others would be returning.
It’s been a long time without seeing each other; wanting to reunite is real.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ran told Pei Jing and Pei Yang about returning home in a few days.
Neither Pei Jing nor Pei Yang could hide their excitement upon hearing this.
Although life in beishi was good, they still missed their family.
Besides, Jiang Ran also mentioned that the main purpose of this trip was to bring the family over.
Being able to see family and bring them along makes it two good things combined.
How could they possibly not want such good things!
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and the final touches on the house were completed at last.
The new bathrooms and kitchen are bright, clean, and particularly convenient to use.
Other rooms had their furniture repaired and repainted, making them look brand new.
The electrical wiring was all concealed, not visible at first glance.
But there were enough sockets reserved, so Jiang Ran asked people to leave options wherever they might be needed in the future.
This type of house isn’t suitable for installing ceiling fans, so Jiang Ran bought floor fans to place in various rooms.
As for the location and wiring for installing air conditioners, Jiang Ran had them pre-reserved.
It’s just that buying air conditioners now is too expensive; installing so many would be too much even for Xu Qingmei.
They’ll have to wait and see.
In a few years, the price of air conditioners will drop, and the performance will also improve.
The house’s high ceiling means it’s not easily heated thoroughly even in the summer, and with the floor fans, it’s quite enough.
The furniture arrangements are all set; what’s missing now are clothes, bedding, and some daily necessities.
They’ll bring those things back on this trip.
With everything sorted, train tickets bought, they were ready to take the train back.
Thinking about sitting on the train and seeing Pei Huai in two to three days makes Jiang Ran’s feelings quite complicated.
She thought coming to beishi and leaving Pei Huai behind would give her time to contemplate their relationship.
But reality was quite different.
After arriving in beishi, all she thought about was buying and renovating the house, leaving her no time to consider Pei Huai.
It was only when she sat on the train that Jiang Ran had the time and mood to think about Pei Huai.
In terms of ability and appearance, Pei Huai had no shortcomings.
The only issue between them was the past years.
But those years weren’t Jiang Ran’s experience; they were the original owner’s life.
What Jiang Ran cared more about was who Pei Huai truly liked.
Did Pei Huai like the appearance of this slimmed-down body, or was it the soul beneath this exterior?
