Upon hearing Xia Qiufang's words, Jiang Ran finally looked up from his busy work.
"Go ahead. It's still raining outside. You don't have to walk so fast with an umbrella. Why don't you ask one of them to go with you? That way you won't be able to carry them all by yourself."
Xia Qiufang waved her hands. "No, no, I can do it myself."
Upon hearing Xia Qiufang's words, Jiang Ran only nodded and didn't say anything else.
After Xia Qiufang left with the umbrella, Jiang Zhi asked Jiang Ran, "Do you guys provide lunch?"
Jiang Ran nodded. "Yes."
Jiang Zhi looked at Jiang Ran and didn't say anything for a while.
It was just a small shop, yet they still provided lunch.
She didn't know what Jiang Ran was thinking.
But looking at Jiang Ran's expression, it was obvious that he felt that this was a matter of course, so Jiang Zhi didn't say anything.
Xia Qiufang came back half an hour later with a basket in her hands. The basket was covered with a plastic sheet to ensure that the lunch boxes inside wouldn't get wet.
They left the workshop and went to the lounge next door to eat.
The rain was pitter-patter, and the air was damp, but the food was steaming hot.
There was still a box of rice for everyone and seaweed and egg soup.
After the hot soup entered their stomachs, they felt warm all over.
After eating, they chatted for a while and rested for a while.
After a while, they returned to their respective work stations.
Jiang Ran wasn't in a hurry to go back. He and Jiang Zhi continued to sit in the room.
Looking at the continuous rain outside, Jiang Ran couldn't help but frown.
Autumn rain was different from summer rain.
Summer rain came and went quickly, and the sky would soon clear up.
But autumn rain didn't stop. Although the rain wasn't heavy, it could last for a few days.
The rain didn't look like it would stop anytime soon. It was too much of a delay.
Jiang Ran was staring outside when Jiang Zhi suddenly said, "Did Pei Huai tell you what I asked him to tell you yesterday?"
Suddenly hearing Jiang Zhi's words, Jiang Ran was not surprised. He nodded and said, "Yes."
"Then what do you think?"
What thoughts?
The truth was, he had no such thoughts.
Regardless of whether it was before or after transmigrating, Jiang Ran always believed that only the things that she worked hard for were the things that truly belonged to her.
Before she wore it, she could peacefully enjoy everything her family brought her.
Because her family loved her and she loved her family too.
It was a way of expressing love, not a transaction.
But now, even if Jiang Zhi was really her biological grandfather, she would not accept anything from Jiang Zhi.
It wasn't a relationship between them. It was just a transaction.
Although Jiang Ran was a businessman, he didn't want to make such a deal.
