Chapter Twenty-Four: Handling Methods

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yi immediately begged for mercy: "Mrs. Si, I'm so sorry, it's all our fault, please be merciful and let us go."

He doesn't care about saving face anymore; without the Cheng family, he has nothing.

Cheng Xi's mother then realized the seriousness of the matter.

He hurriedly chimed in, "Yes, yes, it's all our fault. We were blind to your greatness; it was our ignorance..."

Just as she was about to continue apologizing, Jiang Ran interrupted her.

"I'm sorry, it's too late to realize this now. To mess with the Si family is to court death."

Jiang Ran's tone was gentle, but her eyes were full of coldness.

Then he walked up to Cheng Xi and asked softly, "Little friend, do you still want to continue going to school?"

Despite being a beautiful woman with a gentle voice, Jiang Ran appeared to Cheng Xi like a monstrous beast.

In a panic, he lost control and his pants started to leak.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ran frowned slightly and took a few steps back.

He had the guts to mock Si Zuochen, but not the guts to face the consequences.

You wet your pants like that? Shame on you!

Having said that, he ignored their pleas for mercy and turned to walk up to Si Zuochen.

"Let's go."

Si Zuochen looked puzzled but didn't move.

Jiang Ran chuckled softly: "What? You're not leaving and want to watch the show?"

"The play is over, there's nothing left to see."

Upon seeing this, Si Youlin quickly stepped forward and grabbed Si Zuochen's sleeve.

Jiang Ran didn't say goodbye to Gu Nan before leaving, if he still couldn't understand what she meant.

The title of Si Yanxiao's right-hand man is not worth having.

After taking the two brothers out of the school, she drove back to the villa.

Si Zuochen remained silent throughout the journey. Jiang Ran glanced at his expression in the rearview mirror but couldn't discern his emotions.

Si Youlin, on the other hand, kept his head down, looking somewhat restless.

Jiang Ran withdrew her gaze and chuckled silently.

Their personalities are really awkward... but they complement each other quite well.

She had a rough idea of ​​why things had happened today. Since they were bringing up family matters, it was probably because of her image as a "wicked mother."

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran felt a pang of guilt.

Ultimately, it's my own fault; I should have made this trip today.

After returning to the villa, Jiang Ran didn't plan to have any interaction with the two men, since they didn't like her anyway.

"You must be tired today, go back to your rooms and get some rest."

As a mother, Jiang Ran still chose to speak up and show her concern.

She didn't expect them to reply, so she headed towards the elevator.

Just then, Si Zuochen's voice suddenly rang out from behind.

"Don't think we'll thank you."

Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow and turned to look at him: "There's no need for that, and I don't need your thanks."

"If you are truly sincere, you should thank me for my great kindness in bringing you into this world."

She spoke slowly, but Si Zuochen's expression suddenly changed.

"Then I'd rather have never been born!"

"Oh?" Jiang Ran glanced at him sideways: "Too late."

"So why did you help us today?"

Jiang Ran reached up and touched her forehead, her voice still gentle as she said, "I can scold and discipline my child, but I won't tolerate others gossiping about him, let alone humiliating him."

"They're not qualified yet..."

To put it bluntly, it's a classic case of protecting one's own.

Hearing her explanation, Si Zuochen lowered his eyes slightly.

Si Youlin couldn't help but speak up and question, "But we locked you up, and you ran away, didn't you? You should be watching the show and making a fool of yourself."

Jiang Ran looked up at him, a hint of mockery in her eyes: "Were you disappointed when you heard they couldn't lock me up?"

"You guys are really simple-minded. I'm not without hands and feet. Knowing I'm locked up, why don't I try to escape? Are you stupid?"

Si Youlin looked somewhat embarrassed.

Jiang Ran continued, "You don't need to worry about me retaliating. I locked you up once before, and now you've locked me up too."

"Even if we're even, this is a one-time exception. If it happens again, I won't be so lenient."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Si Youlin's face.

She's been acting so strangely lately, it's like she's become a completely different person.

Unlike Si Zuochen, he was not stoic; whenever something made him suspicious, he would ask for the reason.

"As for today's events," Jiang Ran paused slightly before continuing, "you were only implicated because of my bad reputation. Ultimately, the cause lies with me, so it's only right that I intervene."

"Also, the way you handled things today was correct." She nodded after saying that.

How to handle this?

What's the meaning?

Was she praising them for hitting someone?

Noticing the confusion in their eyes, Jiang Ran explained.

"I won't offend others unless they offend me, but if someone comes looking for trouble, there's no need to hold back."

"Let's fight then. As long as we don't suffer any losses, you don't need to worry about the rest."

Hearing Jiang Ran's words, Si Zuochen suddenly sneered, looked at Jiang Ran, and his eyes were full of mockery.

"So you're saying you're thinking of us after all?"

Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow at him, shrugged, and remained noncommittal.

"Do you think we'd believe your nonsense? You think you can buy us off with this little bit of goodwill? Dream on!"

Jiang Ran had always known that Si Zuochen was very hostile towards her, but she never expected that he had so many thoughts.

buy?

Why would she need to bribe them?

Is this a case of helping someone but making a mistake?

"Is that how you think of me?" Jiang Ran retorted.

Si Zuochen looked at her seriously. Jiang Ran looked at his similar eyebrows and eyes to Si Yanxiao. Despite his young age, he exuded a sense of pressure.

Isn't that so?

Jiang Ran found it somewhat amusing, so she decided not to go upstairs and went straight to the sofa to sit down.

Si Zuochen looked at her warily.

"Then tell me, what do I hope to gain by showing you goodwill?"

"If I wanted to profit from you, I wouldn't have treated you this way in the first place. Shouldn't we have acted like mother and son?"

Upon hearing this, a look of bewilderment flashed across Si Zuochen's face.

Jiang Ran was right, but given her unusual behavior, he couldn't help but think more about it.

But he still forced himself to say, "Who knows?"

Jiang Ran shook her head, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes: "Children't they have such complicated thoughts? Don't they get tired of living every day?"

"I've said everything I needed to say. Believe it or not, it's up to you."

She was too lazy to waste words with him, and there was no need to explain what she had done to him.

I originally thought I could just give him a way out and let him take it.

To everyone's surprise, Si Zuochen frowned and replied, "I don't believe it."

After saying that, he pulled Si Youlin and walked towards the room.

As Jiang Ran watched their departing figures, she felt a strange surge of anger rising in her chest.

What kind of child is this?

Not only is she deep-seated, but she also dares to disobey her elders!

Just as Jiang Ran was feeling indignant, Gu Nan walked in from outside the door.
