Chapter 204 - Old Man Xian’s Birthday Banquet IV

"Ah!" Zhou Shufen"s pained cry and Cui Liuxian"s innocent retreat were seen by everyone.

The moment the door was pushed open again, Zhou Shufen bit her lips and did not continue to cry out in pain. However, her wrist instantly turned completely red, and even her snow-white skin was scratched by the slightly sharp groove beside the door.

The faint smile on Jiang Ruolan"s lips was frozen by this sudden development.

"Just as you said, no wonder Cui Liuxian has such a good relationship with Bingqing." Xian Zihao did not take any action because of the sudden turn of events, instead, he spoke to Jiang Ruolan with an indifferent tone. His eyes tinged with a hint of coldness.

Jiang Ruolan raised her head to look at him. When she saw that he was slightly dissatisfied with the way Cui Liuxian retreated innocently, she slightly frowned.

The moment Zhou Shufen"s wrist was injured, it was unknown if those people were doing it on purpose or not, but a lot of gazes were suddenly thrown in their direction. Jiang Ruolan didn"t have the time to distinguish the gazes of those people, as her waist was already gently embraced by Xian Zihao.

"Let"s go take a look." His eyes were calm and self-contained, solemn, and cold. He took her in his arms and walked in that direction.

Jiang Ruolan felt a twinge of pain in her heart. She didn"t know if the coldness and dissatisfaction in his eyes were because Cui Liuxian had hurt Zhou Shufen or not.

However, she didn"t express the unease in her heart. Instead, she naturally wore a bright smile that was like the morning sun.

The two of them walked to the door, and by then, Zhou Shufen had already been helped into the room.

It was clear that other than the two of them who had been standing far away during the chaos earlier, no one else had discovered who had caused all of this.

They had only thought that someone had accidentally closed the door and hadn"t noticed her hand.

Senior Zhou asked in a cold tone, "How"s your wrist? Are there any injuries?"

Although Senior Zhou was asking Zhou Shufen, the rebuke was clearly directed towards the Xian Family. Old Man Xian had long since called for a servant. "Hurry and get the medicine and apply it on Miss Zhou"s wrist!"

"I"m fine." Zhou Shufen shook her head, her face still pale. She forced out a smile towards Old Man Xian, who had worry written all over his face. "Don"t worry, grandpa Xian. These are all small injuries. I"m not that spoiled."

"This kid, your wrist is already injured like this, and you still call it a small wound. Do you think that when I led the army back then, I was only injured because the bullets were in my flesh? You are youngsters, how can you bear such pain?" Old Man Xian sighed with heartache.

He was also impressed by Zhou Shufen"s att.i.tude. He raised his head and looked at Senior Zhou, who had a tense expression, "Senior Zhou, it"s my fault that your granddaughter was injured."

Senior Zhou"s gaze was very cold. He glanced at the wound on Zhou Shufen"s wrist with a dignified expression. He knitted his eyebrows and asked, "Why is there so much blood?"

"Oh, this could be a cut on the artery!" Zhan Lian stepped forward to take a look

"Artery?" Senior Zhou suddenly looked worried and was about to grab Zhou Shufen"s wrist. "We have to think of a way to stop the bleeding!

A servant of the Xian Family rushed over with some medicine and was about to apply it on Zhou Shufen when Senior Zhou pursed his lips and said coldly, "What"s the use of applying for the medicine now? It can"t stop the bleeding!"

"How can I stop the bleeding?" Zhou Shufen was asking for help as she looked at the people around her. Blood was flowing profusely from her wrist.

Everyone knew how to do simple hemostasis, but arterial bleeding wasn"t simple.

Jiang Ruolan had just entered the house when she heard this conversation. At the same time, Xian Zihao"s grip on her waist loosened.

Jiang Ruolan froze. She saw his tall and straight figure had already walked in quickly, pressing down Zhou Shufen"s wrist under the crowd"s gaze.

It was as if Xian Zihao would never let her go if something really happened to her. Seeing the concern in his eyes, in that instant, it was as if the blood had drained out of Jiang Ruolan"s body completely.

Zhou Shufen"s bright eyes stared directly at his eyes, and a bright smile appeared on her lips.

"Don"t move." Xian Zihao scolded Zhou Shufeng in a low voice just as she was about to raise her wrist. The concern in his eyes couldn"t be concealed.

On the contrary, Zhou Shufen"s smile became even more resolute. Her eyes continued staring straight at him, as if she too was not willing to let him go.

This scene caused Jiang Ruolan to stand stiffly at the door, almost forgetting to breathe.

"Zihao, being cynical is my fault. Back then, I shouldn"t have been so unrestrained, causing me to lose you. Zihao, stop getting angry at me, alright? It"s been five years, and this kind of torture is enough for us!" Zhou Shufen"s eyes showed no fear. She didn"t care about the gazes of the crowd as she stared at him seriously.

Jiang Ruolan"s heart ached. She was surrounded by a feeling of suffocation. She stood motionlessly in the doorway.

Xian Zihao"s eyes were calm as if he didn"t hear Zhou Shufen"s words,

"Go get a doctor, quick!" Old Man Xian was the first to suddenly realize what was going on and urged loudly.

"Calling a doctor is useless now. Dr. Li is the closest to this place, but it will take him at least half an hour to get here." Xian Zihao said in a serious tone, "Press down her wrist to reduce the amount of blood on her wrist! Guiying, go call Dr. Li and ask him for the most effective way to stop the bleeding from the arteries. We need to control it before he arrives!"

As he said this, Xian Zihao continued to press down on Zhou Shufen"s wrist at the same time. His hand was already stained with her blood, and his eyebrows were tightly knitted. He calmly instructed Xian Guiying, who had come over.

Xian Guiying nodded and turned to pick up the phone.

"Let me do it." Just when everyone was worried about how long it would take for Zhou Shufen"s blood to stop bleeding and how close the relationship between Xian Zihao and Zhou Shufen was, Jiang Ruolan, who was standing by the door, suddenly opened her mouth.

Her three words caused everyone to turn to look at her.
