Chapter 569: Chapter 569: Not a Pretty Sight
Jiang Ran left after lunch, and now it’s been over three hours since she left.
Which means, Jiang Zhan came after she left.
If he just got here, that would be one thing, but if he was here early...
Doesn’t that mean Jiang Zhan skipped class this afternoon?
Just thinking about this made Jiang Ran frown unconsciously.
If he skipped class...
Before Jiang Ran could think further, Jiang Zhan, who hadn’t spoken before, hurriedly opened his mouth.
"No, don’t overthink it. I came after school."
After school?
Jiang Ran was startled for a moment, then nodded.
At this time, it’s normal not to have night classes.
Not only are there no night classes, but the dismissal time is also quite early.
Overall, students at this time are truly very fortunate.
Since he came after school...
Wait a minute.
Even if he came after school, there’s still an issue.
"Why are you coming here after school instead of going home?"
Jiang Zhan paused, looking at Jiang Ran, "I just want to spend more time with you, so you’ll know what kind of person I am. Maybe you’ll like me."
Jiang Ran, "..."
Even though she didn’t understand why Jiang Zhan had these thoughts, Jiang Ran helplessly shook her head.
"I already told you before. You have your own family, your own life. There’s no need to force yourself to be around me."
"But you’re also my family, you’re my sister." Jiang Zhan hurriedly replied.
Jiang Ran, "..."
This silly kid, why won’t he listen?
Jiang Ran felt that she’s already said everything she could, but Jiang Zhan just wouldn’t listen, leaving her with no choice.
Just as she was feeling helpless, Wang Cuilan spoke up.
"Did you inform your family that you came here after school? Wouldn’t they be worried if you didn’t return home?"
As an elder, Wang Cuilan was the first to consider these issues. Putting herself in his shoes, if it were Pei Yang, Pei Huai, Pei Shanshan, or Jiang Ran not coming home when they should, she would definitely be concerned.
However, who knew Jiang Zhan would shake his head upon hearing Wang Cuilan’s words.
"They all have their own things to busy themselves with; whether I go home or not, they wouldn’t know, let alone worry about me."
When saying these words, Jiang Zhan’s tone was particularly relaxed, as if this were an ordinary affair he had long been accustomed to.
But listening to this, Jiang Ran and Wang Cuilan couldn’t help but frown.
Even though Jiang Zhan is already a high school student, he’s still just a minor, a student who hasn’t experienced society.
Not going home after school, how could his family not know?
These parents are really too negligent.
Standing at the doorway wasn’t solving the problem, so Wang Cuilan opened the gate, moved her body back, and said to Jiang Ran, "Why don’t you come in first and talk inside? Standing at the door isn’t the way to handle things."
Even though Jiang Ran was reluctant to let him into the yard, Wang Cuilan had a point.
Besides, even if she didn’t let Jiang Zhan into the yard now, he wouldn’t obediently go home. He might end up sitting on the steps at the door.
That truly wouldn’t look good.
Sighing, Jiang Ran said nothing more and took the lead in entering the yard.
