Although Jiang Ran was sitting to the side, she was almost like an invisible person.

Neither Pei Shanshan nor Qin Chuan paid attention to her.

At this moment, Pei Yang walked over.

As soon as Pei Yang approached, he saw Jiang Ran sitting there expressionless, lost in thought. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Sister-in-law, what’s wrong? What are you thinking about? Where’s Shanshan?"

Pei Yang rattled off a series of questions without waiting for Jiang Ran to answer, then he noticed Pei Shanshan nearby, beaming as she spoke with someone.

Pei Yang, "???"

Pei Yang blinked hard, confirming he wasn’t seeing things.

However, thinking back carefully, although Pei Shanshan often smiled, laughing heartily like this was truly uncommon.

Looking at Pei Shanshan like this, Pei Yang opened his mouth but didn’t say anything in the end, nor did he interrupt them. He just stood by watching.

Nobody knew how much time had passed when Pei Shanshan turned her head and saw Pei Yang standing there.

"Second Brother?" Pei Shanshan exclaimed in surprise, "When did you come over? Why aren’t you saying anything?"

Pei Yang, "..."

I’ve been here quite a while, you just didn’t see me.

Before Pei Yang could speak, Pei Shanshan continued, "Second Brother, look, this is Qin Chuan, the one from the park that day. He lives nearby too! Isn’t that quite a coincidence?"

Pei Yang looked at Qin Chuan, then nodded, "It is quite a coincidence."

As they talked, Qin Chuan stood up.

When facing Pei Yang, Qin Chuan was visibly somewhat uneasy, but seeing Pei Yang wasn’t scowling or angry, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and gave Pei Yang a smile.

But to Jiang Ran, that smile still appeared somewhat awkward.

Awkwardness was normal, after all, last time Pei Yang hadn’t treated him well.

Since Pei Yang was here, Jiang Ran decided to stand up.

"You all chat here, I’ll go check on Little Jing."

Pei Yang, though not very old, was quite mature.

He could easily handle such a situation.

Besides, in public, Qin Chuan couldn’t do anything, so Jiang Ran was quite assured.

Jiang Ran didn’t go far but went to check on Pei Jing and the others.

Pei Jing was playing with some kids, while Wang Cuilan and Pei Baoshan watched from not far away, occasionally chatting with those beside them, but their eyes never leaving Pei Jing.

Seeing them like this, Jiang Ran realized they were still frightened by what Chen Meirong had done.

Fearful that if they’re not careful, Pei Jing might be taken away.

Although they seemed like startled birds, being cautious was a good thing.

Being a bit cautious prevents many unexpected events.

If something does happen and it’s not noticed, it will be too late to find out whose responsibility it was.

Jiang Ran walked over to Pei Baoshan and Wang Cuilan and said, "Mom, Dad, you should go rest for a while, I’ll watch Little Jing here."

Wang Cuilan shook her head, "We’re not tired, what’s the need for rest? Why are you here? Where are Shanshan and Pei Yang?"

Hearing Wang Cuilan’s question, Jiang Ran thought for a moment and decided to tell Wang Cuilan and Pei Baoshan about what was happening over there.

Upon hearing this, Wang Cuilan and Pei Baoshan exchanged glances.

Wang Cuilan looked around, then lowered her voice and asked Jiang Ran, "Ranran, what do you think of this Qin Chuan?"
