After contracting to have a child, the icy female CEO became addicted.

Jiang Ran glanced sideways at Huang Xiao, who looked so confident.

Five thousand yuan isn't a lot, especially since it's my good brother's cousin, who's practically family.

Jiang Ran didn't say anything more, and transferred five thousand yuan to Huang Xiao using her phone.

At the same time, he asked, "So what are you planning to sell?"

"Don't worry about that!" Huang Xiao skillfully accepted the transfer, her eyes sparkling. "Brother Jiang Ran, don't worry, we'll definitely break even!"

As she spoke, she sent another location to Jiang Ran's phone, saying, "Brother, I'll prepare things when I get back tonight. Come to this location at 1 PM tomorrow, and we'll officially begin."

Jiang Ran checked the location and saw that it was roughly in a village outside Beijing.

The place wasn't far; it only took him an hour to drive there.

Jiang Ran nodded, guessing it was probably some kind of village market. "Okay."

"I'll be going now, Jiang Ran, see you tomorrow!"

Huang Xiao opened the car door and waved to Jiang Ran with a smile.

Before Jiang Ran could even offer to give her a ride, Huang Xiao had already disappeared in a flash.

Looking in the rearview mirror, Jiang Ran sighed helplessly and opened Lao Wu's private chat.

Jiang: [Old Wu, is your cousin reliable?]

AAA Building Materials Wholesale Angkor: [How could that be unreliable! Don't underestimate my sister just because she's young. She earned tens of thousands of yuan this summer after graduating high school by livestreaming and playing on the internet!]

Doing live streaming and playing on the internet?!

Recalling the sparkling eyes Huang Xiao had given her just now, Jiang Ran suddenly had a bad feeling...

AAA Building Materials Wholesaler Angkor: [Don't worry, my cousin, although she's a bit of a scatterbrain in her studies, is just like your sister—her character is absolutely impeccable!]

Looking at the message sent by Wu Qihang, Jiang Ran thought of her aunt's daughter, Chen Jingyu.

Just like her name suggests, Chen Jingyu has been obedient and well-behaved since childhood, and she also excels in her studies. This year, she was admitted to the top class of senior high school.

If all goes well, she should be studying at her alma mater, Peking University, by this time next year.

Knowing that Wu Qihang wouldn't lie to her, Jiang Ran felt relieved.

He figured Wen Ling wouldn't be back for another three days, and the refrigerator at home was empty. Jiang Ran decided to take advantage of this time to go to the supermarket and buy more food to take back. Luckily, the car had a large capacity and could fit everything.

Just do it!

Jiang Ran found the nearest Shanmu Supermarket, turned on the navigation, and stepped on the gas to drive there.

After half an hour.

Jiang Ran parked his car in a parking space in front of the Shanmu Supermarket, then got out and walked inside.

There are many things to buy, and he basically has to buy them all according to the list that Wen Ling sent him.

However, aside from less oil, less salt, less chili, and ice cream, everything else is pretty much the same as a normal diet.

It was lunchtime, and the supermarket was quite crowded. Jiang Ran pushed a large shopping cart inside.

He stuffed all the raw chicken, duck, and fish into the cart.

Anyway, he had seen the refrigerator at home; it was very spacious and could hold half a month's worth of food.

As Jiang Ran walked, he suddenly stopped and glanced at the people queuing up to weigh themselves. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Not far ahead in the group, his ex-girlfriend Qin Yiyao, wrapped in a light yellow down jacket, was smiling at the man beside her who was looking at his phone...

To Jiang Ran's shock, standing next to Qin Yiyao was none other than his college roommate, Li Yicheng!

Holy crap, when did they get together?!

Before Jiang Ran could even react with surprise, almost instinctively, she pulled out her phone, took a picture of the two of them, and quickly sent it to the group chat.

Visibly, Li Yicheng, who was playing on his phone, suddenly changed his expression, turned his head straight to meet Jiang Ran's face!

"Hey, old classmate!"

Without the slightest hint of embarrassment, Li Yicheng's lips curled up, and a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes.

Beside her, Qin Yiyao also noticed Jiang Ran. Her expression froze, and she subconsciously grabbed Li Yicheng's arm.

"Are they out stocking up on groceries?"

Glancing at the items in Jiang Ran's shopping cart, Li Yicheng said with a hint of sarcasm, "You bought so much? The prices at this supermarket aren't cheap."

The implication is: it's so expensive, can you afford it?

Jiang Ran understood what he was saying, but at that moment, the fact that Qin Yiyao was with her roommate Li Yicheng was far more shocking than the sarcastic remarks.

"Jiang Ran, what brings you to Shanmu Supermarket?"

Beside her, Qin Yiyao frowned.

In my memory, Jiang Ran usually frequents roadside convenience stores or large supermarkets.

Shanmu Supermarket requires a membership to enter, and the prices inside are far higher than outside. Let alone bringing her here, the only time she ever got in before was with a scalper outside. Entering was like opening Pandora's box...

Why would Jiang Ran come to a place like this now, buying only cooking ingredients...?

Is he already able to afford all this?!

"Come buy groceries, huh?"

Having finally sorted out his thoughts, Jiang Ran casually offered an explanation and ignored them, pushing his bike straight to the back of the line.

What he's most looking forward to now is the reaction of his other two roommates when they see this message.

No, this is absolutely mind-blowing!

He kept looking at his phone screen, waiting for news from Wu Qihang and Pan Haisheng.

However, the next second, Qin Yiyao and Li Yicheng broke away from the group and walked straight towards Jiang Ran.

"Jiang Ran, there's no use you staying with me. I've told you so many times, we're not right for each other, I deserve someone better."

As soon as they met, Qin Yiyao spoke without hesitation.

Beside her, Li Yicheng casually hooked his arm around Qin Yiyao's shoulder and pulled her into his arms, his expression smug and self-satisfied, as if to say, "I'm the better one."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran's lips twitched.

He broke up with Qin Yiyao a week ago, but he didn't expect her to still act so aloof.

No, he's already married, why would Qin Yiyao tell him these things?!

Jiang Ran ignored him and looked down at her phone.

"Your silence won't help. There's no way I can be with you anymore, Jiang Ran. Let's let each other go and not make things too ugly. From now on, we can still be friends."

Beside him, Li Yicheng raised an eyebrow, seeing that Jiang Ran was staring at his phone, he knew that Jiang Ran was just too embarrassed to say anything.

Li Yicheng laughed and said, "Since you're all busy setting up stalls, don't worry about Yao Yao anymore. She's not someone you can handle."

Jiang Ran glanced up, but ignored them. He walked a few steps forward with the line, put the items on the scale, and after weighing them, he stepped aside to tidy up the shopping cart.

Then, he quickly tapped his fingers on the phone screen and created a group chat for three people.

"Forget it, you can't talk about ice with a summer insect!"

Seeing that Jiang Ran was ignoring them, Qin Yiyao rolled her eyes and said something rather speechless.

She reached out and grabbed Li Yicheng's arm, smiling sweetly, and said, "Brother Cheng, let's go, let's ignore him."

"it is good."

Li Yicheng nodded with a smile, then gave Jiang Ran a provocative look.

Seeing the two of them so affectionate, Jiang Ran stroked his chin and kindly reminded them, "It seems like your food hasn't been weighed yet."

Amidst their bewildered expressions, Jiang Ran placed her hand on the shopping cart and left, casually remarking, "Go and queue up again. Cutting in line is rather rude..."
