Chapter 240 - Unt.i.tled

Jiang Ruolan didn"t know what to say when Xian Zihao mentioned Jiang Bingqing. After all, she was still his cousin, Zhan An"s niece, Jiang Guanyu"s daughter, and her half-sister.

However, from Xian Zihao"s tone, it seemed that he did not intend to let Jiang Bingqing continue relying on her family"s influence to defy the law. Jiang Ruolan could only remain silent regarding Xian Zihao"s actions against Jiang Bingqing.

"Why was Qin Gengxin with you yesterday?" she asked suddenly.

"He was in the hospital when I learned you"d been kidnapped."

"No wonder, but how did you find out so quickly that I was kidnapped?" Jiang Ruolan looked at him with puzzlement.

"Do you have a hundred thousand questions in your head?" Xian Zihao didn"t answer her question. Instead, he continued giving her the fish meat she liked. "Eat."

Jiang Ruolan pouted and she looked like a kid who had been reprimanded by an adult during dinner. Embarra.s.sed, she lowered her head to eat the food in her bowl.

As soon as she put a piece of fish into her mouth, she felt her stomach churn due to the strong fishy smell. Jiang Ruolan did not know since when her senses were very sensitive, and even though this fish meat didn"t have much of a fishy smell, she still felt like vomiting.

Jiang Ruolan immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth, and under Xian Zihao"s surprised gaze, she rushed into the bathroom and threw up.

"What"s wrong?" Xian Zihao walked over and patted her back. "Why are you throwing up like this?"

Then, there was the sound of someone knocking on the door. Xian Zihao paused for a moment, and with one hand holding a towel, he placed it beside Jiang Ruolan.

Jiang Ruolan continued to throw up as she shook her head at him, "I"m fine. You go and open the door."

Xian Zihao frowned. He left the bathroom and walked towards the door while casually picking up the phone at the tea table. He wanted to call a family doctor and at the same time, he went to the door and opened it.

"Dad?"

Jiang Ruolan retched for a while but still didn"t spit anything out. She quickly put her hand under the water pipe and rinsed her mouth. Then she walked out.

"Dad." Jiang Ruolan was slightly shocked when she saw Xian Jian. However, when she looked into Xian Jian"s cold eyes, she felt a trace of disgust towards her.

Jiang Ruolan immediately understood the reason why Xian Jian suddenly appeared here today.

Although no one in the media dared to divulge what happened yesterday, it was impossible for the Xian Family not to know about it.

"You"re still not going to the hospital even though you were injured like this! Do you want to die? Do you really think you were raised under your grandfather"s spear?" Xian Jian frowned while scolding Xian Zihao.

"Let"s talk outside." Xian Zihao remained expressionless as he walked out the door.

Xian Jian snorted coldly and turned around to follow him out. Jiang Ruolan quickly walked over, only to see Xian Zihao closing the door. He gave her a look that told her not to worry.

Jiang Ruolan was alert to the fact that she really gave Xian Zihao a lot of trouble. She walked to the door to eavesdrop but found that they had walked far away. Only Xian Jian"s angry voice could be heard, but she couldn"t hear Xian Zihao"s voice clearly.

Just as she turned to clean the dishes and boxes on the table, Xian Jian suddenly shouted from outside." A woman like Jiang Ruolan will make you lose your reputation sooner or later! This time she was kidnapped and this thing almost exploded up. Will there be some dirty pictures to be released next time?"

Jiang Ruolan"s feet stiffened, and her grip on the lunchbox gradually tightened. In her other hand, a chopstick suddenly fell, letting out a low and crisp sound as it landed on the floor.

After that, Xian Jian"s voice was no longer loud and Jiang Ruolan couldn"t hear him clearly, but she also couldn"t hear what Xian Zihao had said. When Jiang Ruolan had tidied up the table, she thought about it and felt that she shouldn"t have been so cowardly and hiding behind Xian Zihao.

Jiang Ruolan immediately went to the living room, and just as she was about to open the door, the door suddenly opened from outside.

"You just vomited so much. How are you?" Xian Zihao asked softly as he picked up his phone to call the doctor. At the same time, he avoided talking about Xian Jian"s recent visit.

"Better." Jiang Ruolan looked up at his concerned expression.

"Xian Zihao, you gave me everything I wanted. A warm and peaceful marriage, and happiness. To me, all of this was not only a lifesaver in the sea but also a new support in my life."

"But what did I bring to you?"

Too many thoughts flashed through Jiang Ruolan"s mind. As she looked at Xian Zihao"s worried face, she felt that she could no longer speak.

"Zihao, I.." Jiang Ruolan opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but her voice was hoa.r.s.e. "I…"

But at that time, Xian Zihao was calling the doctor and turned his back on her. He immediately asked the doctor to go back to Greenville Residence and check Jiang Ruolan"s body.

Xian Zihao was initially afraid that Jiang Ruolan would be very sensitive to the hospital and the crowd yesterday, so he took her home to calm her down but seeing her vomiting like this, he was worried. He needed to let the doctor examine her body.

"Xian Jian! Don"t be too excessive! Ruolan was just rescued from those people and if you added oil to the fire, you will hurt her too! After all, she is our daughter-in-law!"

Suddenly, Zhan An"s voice came from outside the door. Jiang Ruolan went to the window and looked outside. She saw that Xian Jian was still not leaving. Apparently, Zhan An came after him. She pulled his arm and told him to leave.

Jiang Ruolan never expected the situation to be so serious. After alerting so many people, her eyes gradually dimmed. Immediately, she saw Xian Zihao walk out once again with a knot on his forehead.

What was coming would eventually come. Escaping wasn"t a solution. Being protected again and again only added to his distress.

Jiang Ruolan took a deep breath and hurried after Xian Zihao.

Xian Zihao tried to stop her, but Jiang Ruolan looked at him with a determined gaze that made him feel sorry for her. She smiled at him. "Zihao, I"m not that weak!"

When Xian Jian saw her walk out the door, he immediately flung Zhan An away and walked over with a cold expression. "Jiang Ruolan, you should know your own limits. Our Xian Family cannot let a person like you to stay!"

"Dad! Ruolan was innocent! Aren"t you being too aggressive!" Xian Zihao frowned.

"Xian Jian! Don"t do that! Ruolan is still a child and was kidnapped. If you have to blame something, you can only blame Zihao for not protecting our daughter-in-law properly! Why do you blame Ruolan? Besides, the media had already informed us about it! Don"t take this chance to force them to divorce! Let alone Zihao, even I don"t agree with it!" Zhan An stepped forward and pushed him away.

"The Jiang Family and Xian Family have a good relationship for over twenty years. If it weren"t for her, why did everyone"s relationship become so stiff? Even though Jiang Ruolan wasn"t born from Zhan Lian, she was still her daughter! What was this supposed to mean? From the beginning to the end, I insisted on letting them divorce but you insisted on having that wedding! As your father, I will definitely not partic.i.p.ate!"

Xian Jian gritted his teeth and pointed at Jiang Ruolan"s pale face. "Jiang Ruolan! You better know your limit!"

"Xian Jian! You …" Seeing Xian Jian left after saying that, Zhan An anxiously went to catch up with him.

"Ruolan?" Suddenly, Xian Zihao"s worried voice sounded.
