Chapter 408 - Let Them Feel At Ease For A Few Days And Be Unaware Of Our Steps

Jiang Ruolan glanced at Zhan Lian"s smiling face and calmly took the bananas. She thanked her and didn"t speak to her again. "Ruolan, I know you had a great deal of dissatisfaction towards me when you were young, but so many years have pa.s.sed, at least I"m considered half a mother in name, and Guanyu is also your real father. After so many years, just give aunt a bit of a face and don"t get angry."

"How about this, when Zihao"s injuries are better and he gets discharged, I"ll personally invite you to return to the Jiang Family. I"ll take care of your diet during your pregnancy and promise to be a loving stepmother, what do you think? Child, you have to give your aunt a chance to atone for her sins, right? All of you youngsters are p.r.o.ne to making mistakes. Back then, I was also young, and now it"s too late for me to regret it. I can only try my best to make up for it."

After saying that, Zhan Lian tried to grab Jiang Ruolan"s arm.

Jiang Ruolan hid her arm and looked at her without expression. Zhan Lian looked at her with an indifferent look, as if she was trying to warn her not to do anything bad.

After dodging, Jiang Ruolan laughed softly, "Auntie Lian"s actions today are a bit strange. Usually, you don"t really care about me. What happened? Could it be that you have a guilty conscience?"

Xian Zihao"s expression didn"t change at all. After Jiang Ruolan said this, he rebuked in a low voice, seemingly dissatisfied with her choice of words, "Ruolan, how can you say that?"

Jiang Ruolan immediately understood his action and her face blushed. She grumbled in a low and aggrieved voice.

Only by doing so could Xian Zihao could get Zhan Lian to continue acting. Jiang Ruolan, on the other hand, wanted to hear the bottom line of this hypocritical woman.

Xian Zihao didn"t even bother to speak up to interrupt her (Zhan Lian).

Seeing that Jiang Ruolan did not give her any face at all, but Xian Zihao did, Zhan Lian hesitated. She looked at Xian Zihao, who was in a pretty good mood with a smile, then looked at Jiang Ruolan, who was mumbling to herself.

Jiang Guanyu sighed and walked towards them. "Zihao, since we are a family, I will not beat around the bush. What are you going to do with this case? This matter has nothing to do with Bingqing. Actually, we are not sure if the perpetrator will use Bingqing or not, but because of the causal relationship between the two of them, we are afraid she will suffer more. She was already locked up and educated, so we wanted to come and see the situation. You see, Bingqing still didn"t know how to differentiate between right and wrong. Although she"s already grown-up, she is still immature."

"Uncle, you are too worried. If Bingqing were innocent, our Xian Family would not have treated your family members" so cruelly. Why do you have to come so far?" Xian Zihao"s face was warm as he signaled for Jiang Guanyu to sit down.

Jiang Guanyu nodded and sat down. After thinking for a while, he said, "But about Bingqing …"

However, at this moment, Xian Zihao suddenly raised his hand and pressed it to his forehead. With a pale and pained expression, he said, "My head hurts."

Jiang Ruolan was shocked and quickly leaned over. Seeing that his face was really pale, she asked softly, "Zihao." After saying that, she stood up. "I"ll call the doctor!"

Xian Zihao didn"t stop her. Jiang Ruolan immediately ran out with an anxious expression. Jiang Guanyu and Zhan Lian, who were in the ward, wanted to plead for mercy, but seeing the situation, they were unable to do so. They can only approach and ask, "Zihao, how is it? Is it painful?"

Xian Zihao was frowning and didn"t answer their question. He sat on the edge of the bed and held his forehead with one hand, as if he was in so much pain.

At this moment, Jiang Guanyu secretly raised his eyebrow and glanced at Zhan Lian. She also looked at Xian Zihao with an anxious expression, as if she was afraid that he would be really sick and the Xian Family would not let them off.

At this moment, the ward"s door was pushed open and the doctor on duty came inside. Upon seeing a large number of people in the ward, the doctor coldly said, "The patient just woke up last night, shouldn"t you guys be more careful? The patient needs to rest quietly."

Zhan Lian was about to say something when Jiang Guanyu pulled her back and gave her a look. They both walked to the door together, and before leaving, they hesitantly looked at Xian Zihao, who was being checked by the doctor. Then, they turned and looked at Jiang Ruolan, who was standing next to the bed with a worried expression.

At first, Jiang Ruolan thought that Xian Zihao"s headache was too coincidental and also a bit suspicious, but she was afraid that his head was really hurt, so all her doubts disappeared immediately.

Now, when she saw that Xian Zihao was lying down peacefully and only opened his eyes to give her a gentle smile, she immediately understood and couldn"t help but laugh as she glared at him, "You scared me to death!"

The doctor examined Xian Zihao for a moment and said that he had just woken up and couldn"t speak for too long. He needed to rest more and the visitors can"t come as they like and so on. After that, the doctor took the needle from the back of Xian Zihao"s hand and left.

"Was it really painful just now?" Jiang Ruolan sat on the edge of the bed and stroked the gauze on his head carefully.

Xian Zihao held her hand and lightly pulled it down. He held her hand, laid it on his chest, and said with a smile, "If I didn"t fool you, how can they leave so easily? Always trying to ruin my time with my wife."

Jiang Ruolan did understand this, so she could only mumble. "Zihao, even though I don"t hate the Jiang Family very much but regarding this matter... You are too polite to them!"

Xian Zihao smiled and squeezed her hand. "Have you forgotten who I am?"

Jiang Ruolan immediately understood that no matter how big the storm was, this unchanging att.i.tude was something Xian Zihao usually wore. If he showed all of it on his face, he would be trapped in someone else"s trap easily.

She couldn"t help but laugh. "All right, I know. It"s just that I"m too worried."

Xian Zihao said with a gentle smile. "The Jiang Family"s purpose is very obvious this time. They are here to investigate this matter. They wanted to find out whether we have already investigated the whole situation or not and if so, they would probably resort to dangerous means."

"If that"s the case, we can let them feel at ease for a few days and be unaware of our steps. This is more convenient for us, otherwise, if the Jiang Family were to do something ruthless in order to protect Bingqing, can you handle it by yourself in time?"

Upon hearing his words, Jiang Ruolan"s gaze froze for a moment. "Zihao, you mean..." She couldn"t finish her words.

The smile in Xian Zihao"s eyes gradually disappeared, but he held her hand tightly. His tone was calm as he said, "The other party is directly taking your life this time. If it weren"t for the fact that my car was coincidentally sent for inspection, Ruolan, I"m afraid I"ll regret it for the rest of my life for not being able to protect you."
