Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom-Chapter 282: I Won’t Let Great-Grandpa Bully Dad

"I can trust them."

Jiang Ran smiled as she spoke, "Besides, I don’t like relying on others. I am others’ reliance; I can be their harbor."

If someone else said these words, Jiang Zhi might disregard them.

But when Jiang Ran said it, Jiang Zhi could only remain silent.

Because Jiang Zhi knew that what Jiang Ran said was true.

Before Jiang Ran and the others returned, Jiang Zhi had been here for over an hour.

During this time, not only was he sitting in the snack shop waiting for Jiang Ran, but he also inquired about her.

He learned that Jiang Ran built her success from scratch, working tirelessly day and night.

He knew that the achievements Jiang Ran had were all from her own hands.

Jiang Ran was right; she doesn’t need to rely on anyone; she is the reliance for others.

Facing Jiang Ran like this, Jiang Zhi found himself speechless for a moment.

Move Jiang Ran with familial ties?

Familial ties aren’t enough.

Move Jiang Ran with something else?

Jiang Ran already has it.

Jiang Zhi felt a bit defeated, his posture not as straight as before.

Jiang Ran glanced at Jiang Zhi, not intending to continue debating with him, "You’ve been on the train for so long, you must be tired. Rest for a while, we’ll eat later."

Words can wait, but meals still need to be prepared.

Although Jiang Ran doesn’t plan to acknowledge her ancestry, Jiang Zhi is an elder who traveled here for days by night train; she can’t let him go hungry, right?

After chatting with Jiang Zhi for a while, Jiang Ran understood that although Jiang Zhi’s views were old-fashioned, he wasn’t malicious.

He had no familial attachment to her, but traveled a long way here just as he said, not wanting the Jiang Family’s lineage to be lost outside.

As Jiang Ran got up to leave, Jiang Zhi called out to Pei Huai.

Pei Huai glanced at Jiang Ran’s departing figure and then sat down, taking the seat Jiang Ran had just occupied.

Jiang Zhi stared sharply at Pei Huai, "Why don’t you come back for several years? She’s just a girl; even if she’s truly amazing, you can’t really think you don’t have to do anything, right?"

——

After leaving the main room, Jiang Ran let out a long sigh.

As soon as she exhaled, Little Jing dashed over with his short legs, "Mommy!"

Jiang Ran bent down and picked up Little Jing, "Little Jing, what’s wrong?"

"Mommy, is the great-grandfather inside here to take you away?"

Little Jing, at such a young age, couldn’t possibly understand the family hierarchy.

He accurately called out ’great-grandfather,’ which Wang Cuilan must have taught him.

This was both Little Jing’s question and Wang Cuilan’s question.

Jiang Ran tapped Little Jing’s nose, "Mommy is not leaving. Mommy isn’t going anywhere."

"Really?" Little Jing asked with a smile, his eyes shining like stars.

"Of course it’s true. Mommy never lies."

"I trust Mommy!"

"Little Jing, go inside, and don’t let great-grandfather bully your dad."

Jiang Ran wasn’t exactly worried about Pei Huai; mainly, she didn’t want Jiang Zhi to think Pei Huai was her weakness, implying she had a hard time at the Pei Family.

Children always wish to be strong, strong enough to protect grown-ups.

Thus, when Little Jing heard Jiang Ran’s words, he nodded vigorously, his voice cute yet extraordinarily firm, saying, "Don’t worry, Mommy. I won’t let great-grandfather bully Daddy."
