Ji Pianran was truly angry now.
In her pair of pitch-black eyes, the tiny specks of starlight dimmed.
"Gu Chen didn't steal or rob to buy clothes for the child. It's his hard-earned money. And besides, what happens in our family is hardly any of your concern."
Her voice wasn't loud, but the indifference in her tone was laced with a chill.
It had a subtle, oppressive quality, especially when paired with her distant and cool expression.
For a moment, Shen Cuilan was actually panicked, not knowing what to say to regain her footing.
Next door, Aunt Zhang was in the courtyard feeding rabbits.
She heard the conversation at the gate between Shen Cuilan and Ji Pianran.
Knowing these two were about to quarrel again and fearing Ji Pianran might be at a disadvantage, she dropped her handful of grass and ran outside.
