The kindergarten teacher stood next to Pei Jing and Chen Meirong, trying her best to dissuade Chen Meirong.

"Auntie, I’ve never seen you before. There’s no way I can let Little Jing go with you. Besides, his parents dropped him off this morning and said they’d definitely pick him up tonight..."

"What’s wrong with you, teacher? I already told you, his parents can’t make it tonight and asked me to pick him up. Why aren’t you listening?"

"I’m his grandmother, am I going to sell him or what? Didn’t I just tell you? I know his parents’ names, and I know his name. If I weren’t his grandmother, would I know these things?"

"I’m warning you, let me take him away quickly, otherwise—"

"Otherwise, what do you want to do?" Jiang Ran said, stepping forward until she was beside Chen Meirong.

As soon as Pei Jing saw Jiang Ran, he pursed his little mouth, clearly about to cry, "Mom!"

Even though he was very aggrieved and wanted to cry, Pei Jing didn’t let the tears fall, even though they were already welling up in his eyes.

Seeing Pei Jing like this, Jiang Ran immediately felt heartbroken.

She didn’t bother wasting words with Chen Meirong, but rather reached out to pull Chen Meirong’s hand away, bent down, and picked up Pei Jing.

"Teacher, thank you for today. In the future, unless it’s me or his grandmother picking him up, don’t hand him over to anyone else."

The teacher visibly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jiang Ran, nodding repeatedly after hearing this.

"Don’t worry, since the child is in our care, we’ll certainly ensure their safety. If it’s not you coming to pick them up, we absolutely won’t release them."

After the recent incident, Jiang Ran naturally trusted the teacher’s words.

Jiang Ran didn’t spare another glance at Chen Meirong and left directly with Pei Jing in her arms.

Seeing this, a trace of panic flashed across Chen Meirong’s face, but she quickly followed suit.

"Ranran! Ranran!"

"I really didn’t have any bad intentions. I just heard he was studying here and wanted to see him. After all, he’s my grandson, and since he’s come to beishi, of course, he should visit his grandmother’s house, don’t you think?"

"I originally intended to invite you all, but thinking about how unpleasant our last encounter was, I thought I’d try approaching through the child..."

Jiang Ran walked swiftly, ignoring what Chen Meirong was saying behind her.

At this moment, Jiang Ran felt some regret.

She wished she had listened to Chen Bing and driven over directly.

If she had driven, she could have left immediately once they got in the car, and Chen Meirong wouldn’t have been able to catch up.

Probably annoyed from the pursuit, Chen Meirong shouted sternly, "Jiang Ran, you stop right there!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran didn’t pause in her stride and continued moving briskly forward.

Pei Huai, following behind Jiang Ran, did stop at this point, turning to face Chen Meirong.

"If we report your behavior just now, it would be an attempted kidnapping."

Chen Meirong was clearly startled when she heard Pei Huai say this.

But soon, she regained a calm demeanor.

"What nonsense are you talking? I’m his grandmother. How is taking him to his grandmother’s house kidnapping?"

"You’re his grandmother? Who can prove it? Does Jiang Ran have any connection with you?"
