Chapter 383 - Senior Zhou’s Arrival II
If Senior Zhou knew about what happened that year, would there be so kind of trouble again? Her life had finally cald down and she did not want to cause any more trouble, but her mother's grievances and the pain that she had suffered in the Jiang Family, should she just let it go like this?
Xian Zihao imdiately looked at Jiang Ruolan. He had a gentle and loving smile on his face. Jiang Ruolan's conflicting heart imdiately calm because of his comforting and silent encouragent.
Although she did not want to disturb the peace in her life, but because soone was willing to take revenge on her, she had to be fair to her mother. Senior Zhou owes a lot to Zhou Qingling for committing cris several decades ago.
Just as Jiang Ruolan was about to ask Senior Zhou to lend her a hand, Jiang Yijun opened his mouth and said, "Zhou Qingling died 20 years ago. Wouldn't it be too late for Senior Zhou to atone for your mistakes now?"
His words caused Senior Zhou's face to tremble. He stood up abruptly and looked at Jiang Yijun.
Jiang Ruolan's words were almost swallowed back in her throat.
While she was still hesitating on whether she should say it or not, Jiang Yijun made a rare decision for her.
She turned her head and looked at him, but Jiang Yijun simply looked at Senior Zhou indifferently. "As for the cause of death, Senior Zhou should have gone to the Jiang Family to investigate, not the Xian Family. The grievances Ruolan suffered since she was young, from Jiang Guanyu to Jiang Bingqing, who knows about the trauma and loneliness that the so-called family of three brought to her childhood? Asking Ruolan these questions is equivalent to having her open her own wounds in front of you and show it to you. If Senior Zhou's heart truly loves this granddaughter of yours, why don't you give her so ti and space to let her live her current life in peace! If you want to know the truth, go find the Jiang Family and see what kind of good things they did back then!"
Senior Zhou's expression was sowhat of a skeleton. He frowned and looked at Jiang Yijun quietly, as if he was considering the authenticity of his words.
Jiang Ruolan just wanted to cherish the peaceful and warm life she was living now, not wanting to be broken by anyone. But even she didn't know what had happened to her mother that year, so perhaps letting Senior Zhou investigate it himself would be twice the result with half the effort.
From Senior Zhou's expression, it was like he really didn't expect that Zhou Qingling was no longer alive. He didn't expect her to have died twenty years ago. Senior Zhou imdiately turned around to look at Jiang Ruolan.
Jiang Ruolan's indifferent expression seed to confirm it and it made Senior Zhou's expression turn solemn and terrifying instantly.
"Jiang Family?" Senior Zhou squinted his eyes and imdiately smiled.
He smiled at Old Man Xian, who didn't say much all this ti. "Looks like my granddaughter's path is a little rough. I've troubled you today. Let's co out another day and have a drink."
"Sure, sure." Old Man Xian also stood up with a smile.
Senior Zhou nodded, his mind full of thoughts. He then looked at Jiang Ruolan, who was silent and thought for a mont. He shifted his gaze to Xian Zihao and said, "Initially, Shufen was my favorite, but now Ruolan and Shufen are my granddaughters. They are both from the sa flesh. Zihao, one of my granddaughters doesn't want to get married anymore because of you and as for Ruolan, you have to treat her well."
Senior Zhou's sudden change was unexpected, but Jiang Ruolan still didn't say anything. It was unknown if his sudden change was a good or bad thing. She clearly didn't have any intention of getting involved with the Zhou Family.
Xian Zihao's lips curved into a faint smile, "Ruolan is my wife, of course, I will treat her well. As for Zhou Shufen, it's just an old story. Senior Zhou should calm her down and persuade her to et other n as soon as possible."
Xian Zihao's voice was gentle like jade. He held Jiang Ruolan's hand the entire ti, giving her the strength to face all of this.
Jiang Ruolan could feel the warmth he gave to her, so she looked up and glanced at Senior Zhou. She nodded politely. "Take care."
Senior Zhou was not angry even though Jiang Ruolan ordered him out as soon as she opened her mouth. He just looked at her, sighed, and left.
After Senior Zhou left, Jiang Yijun sat on the couch near where Jiang Ruolan sat. He glanced at her. "If you don't want to recognize him, then you can just not admit it. The Zhou Family is too deep, who knows what he is thinking right now."
Before this, when Senior Zhou knew she was the daughter-in-law of the Xian Family, he was unhappy. It was obvious that Senior Zhou wanted Zhou Shufen to marry into the Xian Family. In the end, the Xian Family did not accept the marriage, and now that Jiang Ruolan was his granddaughter, Senior Zhou was in such a hurry to co over. No one knew what he was planning.
That's why Old Man Xian didn't say anything until Senior Zhou left. Then he looked at Jiang Ruolan thoughtfully.
"No matter from which angle we stand, if we don't control ourselves, we will eventually beco pawns in soone's hands. Even if Ruolan had this layer of relationship with the Zhou Family, with her current personality, she will definitely not have any influence in this world. Ruolan is not a person who travels with the flow, and no one can easily waver her heart."
When Xian Zihao said this, he clearly knows what Old Man Xian and Xian Jian were thinking at the mont. His tone was light and it was like he was talking about normal things.
His words made the Old Man and Xian Jian calm down a bit. The Old Man nodded. "I really didn't expect Ruolan would be Senior Zhou's granddaughter."
He then shook his head, "The world is very small, but what you just said was also true. I knew spoiled girl's character very well. A child who suffered greatly after entering the Jiang Family, but still able to straighten her back and stay upright, must have a clear mind."
There was a hidden aning behind Old Man Xian's words.
He reminded Jiang Ruolan always to be vigilant and not to forget her true self because of her relationship with the Zhou Family.
Jiang Ruolan smiled. "Grandfather, I will not disappoint you."
"Alright, good child."
Hearing her words, Old Man Xian nodded with a pleased smile. "Grandpa has never been disappointed with you, but as for what Senior Zhou wants to do with the Jiang Family and if it affects our Xian Family, you don't need to worry. If there are any problems, grandpa will support you here!"
Jiang Ruolan grinned. At the sa ti, Xian Zihao also lowered his head to look at her with a smile. His dark black eyes were filled with tender concern.
It was almost 9 pm when they left Xian Residence. Before returning ho, Old Man Xian warned Jiang Ruolan not to overthink it.
Originally, Jiang Ruolan was worried the Xian Family would be prejudiced against her because of this. After all, she hid her background from them and fortunately, the Old Man was reasonable, and Xian Zihao spoke for her. Instead, she gets more attention from the elders.
When Xian Zihao walked out of the bathroom, he saw Jiang Ruolan sitting on the bed, leaning on the headboard, reading a civil servant exam book in her hand. Sotis she nodded her head, sotis she would shake it, and sotis she even muttered sothing.
Xian Zihao seed to be infected by her smile. He sat on the other side of the bed and hugged her. "Why are you so happy?"
Jiang Ruolan handed the book in her hand to him and lay on his chest with a smile. She rubbed her head against his chest like a kitten, found a comfortable position, and leaned against it.
