Chapter 177 - A Marriage Without Love Usually Doesn't Have A Good Ending
"Isn't it a safety pendant?" Zhou Shufen then said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, Miss Jiang. I don't know much about these things, this item was once given to by an important person. I've always cherished it. Moreover, I've brought it along with for so many years, I thought it might be a Pendant of Peace, but I never thought that I was wrong."
Zhou Shufen's eyes curved in embarrassnt. Her eyes were big, but when she smiled, they seed to bend into two crescent moons. It was beautiful and full of spirit.
"No, I already appreciate Miss Zhou's kind intentions. Since it was an important gift from soone else, you better keep it carefully. Perhaps, so of these things can only be perfect mories but can not be repeated in your life, so you should take good care of them." Jiang Ruolan smiled brightly.
Zhou Shufen's eyes showed a hint of coldness and arrogance for a mont, but her expression didn't change. At this mont, the waiter ca and brought the desert she had just ordered.
It was unknown what Xiong Ruogang was talking about, but she succeeded in making Little Fishie laugh.?When she saw the pudding,?Little Fishie stretched out her small hand to grab the cake box and happily yelled, "Mommy,?I will give this cake to Aunt. We are good friends!"
Xiong Ruogang imdiately broke into a wide smile. "Wow, we're good friends, are we? Will you give the cake?"
"Mhmm!" Little Fishie very generously pushed the cake to Xiong Ruogang, "Auntie, you go ahead and eat it, I have pudding!"
"What a cute child." Jiang Ruolan looked at the girl who looked like Zhou Shufen and praised her wholeheartedly, "And she is very sensible. She seems to be following in her mother's footsteps. She must be very diligent. How old is she?"
Zhou Shufen touched her daughter's head. "Five years old. "Xiaoyi, say hello to Auntie Jiang."
"Hello, Auntie Jiang!" Little Fishie smiled sweetly, then turned around as if asking for a reward, and said, "Mommy, can I have the pudding now?"
"Sure." Zhou Shufen handed her the pudding spoon and smiled.
Xiaoyi took the spoon and skillfully scooped up the pudding with her spoon. She even dug out a piece of the pudding to deliver to Xiong Ruogang's mouth. "Auntie, you have so too!"
At the sa ti, Jiang Ruolan's face was calm as she stared into Zhou Shufen's eyes, which were filled with a strange smile.
Xiong Ruogang ate cake pudding with Xiaoyi while playing with her hands.
Zhou Shufen didn't eat any of the sweet snacks either, and just like Jiang Ruolan, she ordered plain water while quietly sizing up her.
What did she want to see?
Maybe Zhou Shufen didn't want to use her child to do anything, or perhaps she really wanted her to be a woman who can easily influence the wind and shadows.
Jiang Ruolan cursed silently. She was no longer a teenager. If a person grew up to be twenty-four or twenty-five without even the most basic of knowledge and ntality, then wouldn't her life have been in vain?
Zhou Shufen's daughter was very similar to Zhou Shufen. Even though the child was five years old, she still could not represent anything. Plus, this cute little thing was surely not Xian Zihao's daughter. If she was still curious, there was a dical test called DNA in this society, so of course she will not think too much about it.
Seeing that her expression was calm, Zhou Shufen could only smile. Hearing how Xiong Ruogang had gotten into a fight with Xiaoyi, she smiled happily.
Zhou Shufen looked at Xiong Ruogang and asked, "Oh right, I have forgotten to ask? This is …"
"I'm Sis Jiang's colleague." Xiong Ruogang's face was full of smiles as she looked up at Zhou Shufen. "Your daughter is so cute! I like little kids like her."
"It's rare for Xiaoyi to get along with strangers." Zhou Shufen smiled amiably at her. Her gaze seed to analyze the type of friend Jiang Ruolan had.
"Wow, looks like I'm quite popular, aren't I, Little Fishie!" Xiong Ruogang didn't pay attention to Zhou Shufen's expression as she continued to tease the child.
Seeing Xiong Ruogang's childish behavior, Jiang Ruolan could only helplessly sigh and smile. In the blink of an eye, a radiant smile appeared on her face as she looked at Zhou Shufen, "I heard that Miss Zhou got married a few years ago? What is your daughter surnad?"
"Miss Jiang seems to be very clear about my situation?" Zhou Shufen raised her eyebrows and suddenly revealed a knowing smile. "I'm sorry, I almost forgot, you're from the dia."
Zhou Shufen's words didn't have any hint of edge. She was still looking at Jiang Ruolan with the sa faint playful expression. She didn't even reveal any trace of provocation in her eyes.
It had been so long, but Zhou Shufen still wasn't making any move. It was as if she had never really intended to take action, but she was trying to penetrate into everything. She seed calm and collected, but she seed to be waiting for sothing.
Was the ti not right?
"We t at the Xian Group's entrance at that ti, and I once said that I ca to H City with Qin Gengxin. I heard that Miss Jiang grew up with him? The childhood sweetheart's experience was so enviable, why didn't the two of you get together? As far as I know, Qin Gengxin seems to have a soft spot for you, Miss Jiang." Zhou Shufen smiled. A sly glimr shone in her clear eyes.
"Eh? President Qin likes you?" When Xiong Ruogang heard this, she imdiately looked at Jiang Ruolan with her gossipy eyes.
"Of course, we both grew up together but Qin Gengxin is not my type." Jiang Ruolan responded indifferently.
"Is that so? What type of man do you like, Miss Jiang?" Zhou Shufen blinked her eyes. It was as if she was very curious about it. She's also behaved like both of them were very familiar with each other.
"Aiya, is there even a need to ask? With a good husband like President Xian, other than loving her own husband, who else could she love?" Xiong Ruogang, who was sitting beside her, interrupted with a confused expression, causing Zhou Shufen's expression to freeze for a mont.
"Really?" Zhou Shufen quickly smiled. She looked at Xiong Ruogang with a confident smile, "Sotis, a marriage without love is lantable. Just like so of the sisters who have good relationships with . They often get married for the benefit of their family and in the end, their loveless marriages end up in failure."
Xiong Ruogang was stunned by Zhou Shufen's words. She finally understood sothing, but she couldn't be sure. In the blink of an eye, she glanced at Jiang Ruolan.
Jiang Ruolan's expression remained unchanged.?Her clear eyes filled with a natural smile, as if she was listening to soone else's story and hadn't heard the disagreent within those words.
"Sis Jiang used to be just like , a small citizen. She definitely doesn't have any family interests. Besides, Sis Jiang and President Xian are so fond of each other. Their affections almost made die from envy!" Whether it was intentional or not, Xiong Ruogang no longer focused on playing with Little Fishie. Her gaze faintly fell on Zhou Shufen's face, as if she was trying to guess the woman's motives.
"Ruogang, what are you trying to say? Miss Zhou is talking about her own sister. Why are you ntioning my na?" Jiang Ruolan playfully scolded her.
When her eyes fell on Xiong Ruogang's face, she smiled because she understood what Jiang Ruola was trying to do.
"Indeed. Since Miss Jiang has such a good husband, she should cherish him well!" Zhou Shufen's smile was like a flower. "I was just saying that a marriage without love usually doesn't have a good ending. Marriage must have the basis of feelings. Otherwise, it won't last for long."
"It seems that Miss Zhou has learned a lot in your five years' marriage." Jiang Ruolan took a sip of water and lightly put down her glass. "I once thought that my husband simply liked , but after hearing you say so, I recalled his tender and considerate attitude towards , as well as the way he occasionally showed rcy and indulgence to , liked I was a child. No matter when or where, he always trusted and encouraged . He pampered a lot."
