Chapter 1222 - 1241: Narrow Victory
Footsteps were drawing nearer, and just when a collision seemed imminent, Zhuanzhuan suddenly made her move. The girl pressed her callused hand forcefully onto Leng Ran’s shoulder, her strength so great that Leng Ran was utterly helpless, feeling a faint pain transmitting from her shoulder, even making her think she was restrained by a burly man.
The three of them suddenly stopped in their tracks.
Shi Cin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Although his heart had settled back down, he didn’t feel relieved inside.
He knew, in this confrontation, Leng Ran had lost.
Leng Ran’s fearlessness was commendable, yet in front of Jiang Zhuanzhuan, who handled it with ease, she was clearly outmatched. Coupled with the first clash at the villa halfway up the mountain, Leng Ran had lost for the second time.
"Where are you heading?" Zhuanzhuan said with a smile, keeping her hand on Leng Ran’s shoulder, not withdrawing it but gradually increasing the force.
Leng Ran’s pupils constricted sharply as a piercing pain came from her shoulder, yet she didn’t show it at all, instead tilting her mouth slightly and revealing a mocking smile.
"I’m going to see your sister. I heard she’s sick, and quite seriously too."
Zhuanzhuan suddenly exerted more force, her veins bulging on the back of her hand, a trace of ferocity flashing through her eyes. "Seeing my sister!" she murmured to herself, "Not everyone is qualified to visit my sister." She finished speaking, looked at Leng Ran’s ashen face, and finally let go.
She quickly apologized, her eyes sincere, "Did I hurt you just now? I’m really sorry, I’ve been chopping wood and feeding pigs and doing household chores since I was a kid, so I’m stronger than the average person."
"You..." Leng Ran gritted her teeth, staring fiercely at Zhuanzhuan.
"Let’s go! Since it’s to see my sister, we might as well go together. It’s been a long time since I’ve been home. Now that my sister is back, I should return too." After speaking, she walked past Leng Ran leading the way.
