Chapter 623: Chapter 626: How Are the Grades?
Wang Cuilan and Pei Baoshan are not cold-hearted people, nor do they have cold hearts.
Jiang Zhan has come so many times, always with a cheerful smile.
Now, he’s greeting them with the same smile, so they just nodded with a smile.
Pei Shanshan and Qin Chuan also smiled and greeted Jiang Zhan.
In some ways, Pei Shanshan is quite happy.
After all, with Jiang Zhan, she’s no longer the youngest among her peers.
Now someone would call her "sister," which is something delightful any way you think about it.
Of course, she can’t show her happiness too obviously, or else Pei Yang might not be pleased.
As for Pei Jing, he had long enthusiastically called out "Little Uncle."
He only started calling him that after getting Jiang Ran’s permission.
Jiang Zhan harbors no malice and has never done anything bad, and Jiang Ran is not so cold-hearted as to be unsparing, so he allowed Pei Jing to call him that.
After exchanging a couple of words with others, Jiang Zhan walked up to Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran was sitting, so she had to look up to see Jiang Zhan.
She hadn’t been looking for long when Jiang Zhan suddenly sat down on a small stool beside her.
This stool belonged to Pei Jing.
Since he was small with short legs, the stool he used was particularly low.
Jiang Zhan, though not very old, was quite tall.
Sitting on such a small stool, he somehow looked rather pitiful.
But Jiang Zhan himself didn’t mind at all.
Not only did he not mind, but after sitting down, he even gave Jiang Ran a brilliant smile, "Big Sister."
Faced with Jiang Zhan’s bright smile, Jiang Ran found it both funny and exasperating.
What was there to be so cheerful about?
Before Jiang Ran could make sense of it, Jiang Zhan had already looked at Pei Huai, "Big Sister, is this Brother-in-law?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ran suddenly remembered.
Oh right.
Jiang Zhan hadn’t met Pei Huai before.
This was the first meeting.
Recognizing Pei Huai at their first meeting without an introduction showed he had a good head on his shoulders.
Thinking this, Jiang Ran nodded, "Yes."
Jiang Zhan quickly gave Pei Huai a big smile, "Hello Brother-in-law! When did you come back? Are you staying this time?"
This string of questions...
Surprisingly, they weren’t annoying at all.
In fact, it made people feel this kid was quite socially adept, quite good at conversing.
Listen to these questions, all full of concern.
Concern for Pei Huai and also for Jiang Ran.
"Just came back two days ago, and I’m staying."
Pei Huai’s answer was concise, yet it didn’t feel perfunctory.
Jiang Zhan nodded, "That’s good. Little Jing has been missing you."
Jiang Ran watched Jiang Zhan with some amusement, even though his face always had that brilliant smile.
But just by listening to his words, Jiang Ran could roughly guess that this kid was trying hard to find something to talk about!
Having a kid this age with little social experience find topics to talk about was indeed pushing him a bit.
Jiang Ran glanced at Pei Huai, who immediately smiled.
Then, he took the initiative to speak.
"How are your studies going? I heard you’re in your second year of high school?"
"Yes, I’m in Year Two, and my grades are okay."
"Have you thought about which university you want to attend?"
"Yes, I’ve thought about it. I want to apply to..."
Listening to their conversation, Jiang Ran helplessly shook her head.
