Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Going with Grandma

Jiang Ran didn’t head towards the main house; instead, she walked directly to the front door and opened it.

Standing outside the door, Chen Bing looked at the suddenly opened door and gave Jiang Ran a smile.

"Ranran, I was just about to knock when you came over. Your hearing is great..."

Chen Bing seemed to be speaking to Jiang Ran, but his gaze drifted towards Pei Huai, who was beside her.

Jiang Ran and Pei Huai didn’t say much about the underlying meaning in his words, they just smiled.

"How was it today? Everything smooth?" Jiang Ran asked.

Chen Bing nodded, "Smooth, smooth."

"That’s good to hear." Jiang Ran nodded and then pointed to the watch on her wrist, "It’s time to go pick up Little Jing, let’s head over."

She was speaking to Pei Huai, who immediately nodded.

"Okay, let’s go then."

Pei Huai agreed and then told Chen Bing, "I’m going with Ranran to pick up Little Jing, you go inside and rest. We can talk later when I get back."

Chen Bing waved his hand, "Sure, sure, go ahead. By the way, do you want to drive there? It might be quicker."

Jiang Ran directly refused, "The distance isn’t far, no need to drive. Besides, there are a lot of kids at the kindergarten, driving isn’t convenient."

Hearing this, Chen Bing nodded in agreement, "You’re thoughtful, as expected. In that case, you should go ahead."

Jiang Ran and Pei Huai headed towards the kindergarten, chatting along the way about what they had done throughout the day.

As they talked, they arrived at the kindergarten entrance.

They arrived early, with a few minutes to spare before dismissal.

Quite a few parents were already standing outside, waiting to pick up their children.

While talking to Pei Huai, Jiang Ran casually scanned the people around them.

But with just a glance, Jiang Ran was stunned.

Because Jiang Ran saw someone unexpected.

It was Chen Meirong!

What was Chen Meirong doing here?

Could it be that her family also had a child attending this school?

It’s not an impossible situation.

Due to this thought, Jiang Ran didn’t rush over immediately.

After all, this was a public place; she could be here just as Chen Meirong could be.

But for some reason, after seeing Chen Meirong, Jiang Ran’s heart became a bit unsettled.

A few minutes felt particularly long.

Each second was like torture.

Fortunately, those minutes finally passed.

With the sound of the bell, the kindergarten doors opened.

Parents waiting at the entrance swarmed in, disappearing quickly from the doorway.

Chen Meirong disappeared as well.

Jiang Ran no longer paid attention to her and quickly walked towards Little Jing’s classroom. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Yet, just as she reached the door, she saw Chen Meirong standing there, holding Little Jing in one hand and gripping the door frame with the other, attempting to pull Little Jing out.

As she got closer, Jiang Ran could hear what Chen Meirong was saying.

"Little Jing, be good! Come with Grandma to Grandma’s house. Grandma will give you treats, okay? Your mom is busy today, she can’t come to pick you up. You’ll wait at Grandma’s house for your mom to pick you up, alright?"

Little Jing may not be an ignorant child, as Jiang Ran had often taught him about things like not going off with strangers.

So, no matter how kind Chen Meirong seemed or how nice her words sounded, Little Jing was unwilling to go with her.
