Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom-Chapter 293: She Is Herself

Jiang Zhi only said half of what he wanted to say and didn’t continue.

Perhaps he also felt that saying more would be inappropriate.

Jiang Ran could guess what Jiang Zhi was going to say, nothing more than comparing her to someone else.

As for this "someone," it’s probably her cheap brother and sister.

Although she knew in her heart, Jiang Ran didn’t want to pick up on that topic.

There was no need.

She wasn’t interested in people from the Jiang family, nor did she feel like anyone else.

She was herself, and only herself.

Jiang Ran planned to go to the train station herself the next day to buy Jiang Zhi a sleeper ticket back home.

But when Pei Huai came back in the evening and heard about this, he told Jiang Ran not to bother, he would buy the ticket.

Jiang Ran wouldn’t be too picky with Pei Huai right now. Since Pei Huai said so, Jiang Ran didn’t refuse and left it to him.

Early the next day, after Pei Huai sent Pei Jing to school, he went to the station.

It didn’t rain today, but the sky was still gloomy, as if it could rain again at any moment.

Thinking Jiang Zhi might leave today, Jiang Ran didn’t go to the boutique but stayed home.

Wang Cuilan and Pei Baoshan were eager to go home, and after breakfast, they rushed off.

After all, they had poultry back home and fields to tend to, which couldn’t be ignored.

Everyone went their separate ways, leaving Jiang Ran and Jiang Zhi alone again.

This time, Jiang Zhi didn’t mention anything about the Jiang family.

"How are you and Pei Huai getting along?"

Hearing this question, Jiang Ran almost thought she was hallucinating.

After all, people of this era, especially the elderly, rarely talk about emotions.

Many people of this era are actually shy to express feelings.

Jiang Zhi’s age was there, even if he wasn’t an old fossil...

Well, in Jiang Ran’s mind, Jiang Zhi was an old fossil.

Jiang "old fossil" Zhi looked at Jiang Ran with a smile, a hint of mockery in his eyes, "You two don’t seem to get along well."

It wasn’t phrased as a question, but as a statement.

Clearly, Jiang Zhi was confident in his words.

But thinking about it, Jiang Zhi was so old, he’d seen everything, so noticing the superficial harmony between Jiang Ran and Pei Huai wasn’t unusual.

Besides, neither Jiang Ran nor Pei Huai was interested in putting on a show of marital bliss.

Even the Pei family was used to Jiang Ran and Pei Huai sleeping in separate rooms.

Jiang Ran smiled back at Jiang Zhi, "It’s just okay."

Actually, it wasn’t even okay. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Jiang Ran’s inner complaints, of course, couldn’t be heard by Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi put away his smile, sat up straight, and said to Jiang Ran, "No matter the relationship, emotions need to be nurtured and maintained. I can see that you have a good relationship with the Pei Family."

"But you must also understand, Pei Family parents will grow older and one day won’t be around. Pei Yang and Pei Shanshan, including Pei Jing, will grow up and live their own lives; they can’t always be with you."

"The only one who can walk through life with you, rely on each other, and support each other, is Pei Huai."

"You’re a smart girl, I’m sure you understand what I mean, think it over."

Jiang Ran listened silently, feeling nothing in particular, except that Jiang Zhi’s words this time sounded like what an elder should say.

This was much better than the previous talk about acknowledging one’s ancestors.
