Chapter 213 - Jiang Ruolan, You Are Amazing

"Guiying?" Seeing her strange expression, Jiang Ruolan couldn"t help but call out to her.

Xian Guiying paused for a moment then came back to her senses. She pursed her lips into a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, I heard you grew up with Qin Gengxin."

The corner of Jiang Ruolan"s mouth twitched. "Growing up with him was a big word. Can I say that I was bullied by him? I haven"t seen him in seven years."

At this point, she casually asked, "Why did you ask me about that?"

"I just wanted to ask." Xian Guiying was full of smiles. However, her mouth let out a faint sigh. The corner of her mouth slightly curled up as if she was mocking herself.

At around 10 in the morning, Old Man Xian and his entourage returned. Jiang Ruolan was hugging a very stubborn dog and sneaking in the garden at Xian Residence.

When she saw them come back and before she could walk, the dog in her hand ran to the Old Man"s feet and rubbed his pants."Senior Zhou, Zhou Shufen seems to be writing something in the ancestral hall just now. She is completely secretive!"

"Haha, this girl often copies the calligraphy of the ancient master at home. It"s been a while since the last time she did it. I hope her calligraphy is not bad but compared to Xian Family"s calligraphy writing, isn"t it like fighting a sword with Old Man Xian?"

As he said that, Senior Zhou glanced at Zhou Shufen behind him and his eyes were full of love.

"Grandpa Xian has already praised me all the way. If you keep on praising me like this, I"ll blush ~" Zhou Shufen"s eyes were curved with a smile. She wore a green dress and had her hands behind her back. She looked like an 18 or 19 year old lively girl.

"What a humble child. If only our child, Guiying, could have the patience to learn from you, Miss Zhou, that would be great. Sigh ~"

Hearing the conversation over there, Jiang Ruolan thought for a moment and before she decided to approach. She nodded politely to the crowd and didn"t interrupt them.

Senior Zhou glanced at her. Jiang Ruolan suddenly felt that Senior Zhou"s look was a bit deep as if he was staring through her.

"Grandpa, what"s wrong?" Zhou Shufen noticed that something was wrong with Senior Zhou"s gaze and asked in a low voice.

"It"s nothing." Senior Zhou restrained his expression.

Old Man Xian glanced at Senior Zhou"s expression and saw the puzzled look on his face. Xian Zihao took this opportunity to walk towards Jiang Ruolan. He touched her head with his hand as if he was looking at a dazed child.

With a low voice and smile, he asked, "What are you thinking?"

Jiang Ruolan"s expression did not change, "I found you look quite handsome by wearing this shirt today."

At this moment, she was being stared at by Old Man Xian, so how could she say anything about the Senior Zhou"s expression just now.

Hmm … Something was unusual...

Noticing her absent-mindedness, Xian Zihao turned her head so that she could face him. "Grandfather was preparing to go to the ancestral hall at 5 in the morning. I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn"t wake you up."

"Is the ancestral hall far from here?" Jiang Ruolan came back to herself.

"It"s not that far. If you want to go, I will accompany you there later." Xian Zihao had a soft smile in his eyes. He had just returned from the ancestral room, so his body carried the faint aroma of sandalwood, making it smell very unpleasant.

As everyone entered the house, Cui Liuxian walked one step towards Jiang Ruolan. In a low, mocking voice, she said, "Jiang Ruolan, you are amazing!"

After uttering those words, Cui Liuxian walked away with a cold snort. Jiang Ruolan, who was in the back was shocked. Xian Zihao also looked coldly at Cui Liuxian and as he watched her walk briskly towards the Old Man, the dissatisfaction in his eyes became more obvious.

"What happened to her?"Jiang Ruolan asked in a low voice as she walked side by side with Xian Zihao.

Xian Zihao paused before saying, "Bingqing said something that could not be said in the ancestral hall. Cui Liuxian agreed with her. For the first time in more than twenty years, grandpa mercilessly said a few words to her."

Jiang Ruolan raised an eyebrow as she watched Cui Liuxian closely follow behind the Old Man. "She"s so afraid that grandfather won"t like her?"

Xian Zihao lowered his head and gave Jiang Ruolan a soft smile. With his arms around her shoulders, he gently pulled her into his embrace. He watched her for a moment before asking in a low voice, "Have you gained weight lately?"

"What?" Jiang Ruolan looked up and saw his eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with laughter.

She couldn"t help but struggle in his arms. "I"ve been resting a lot recently, so it"s normal I"ve gotten fat! What? Do you dislike me now?"

He put his hand on her shoulder down and gently put it around her waist. "It is a good thing. It"s fine if you get a little fatter, it will make me feel very comfortable to hug you."

"Xian Zihao, I"ve just realized…"

"Hmm?"

"Being your woman makes me feel very happy."

There was a glimmer in his eyes and he was full of smiles.

****

That night, the two of them returned to the city. After all, Xian Zihao was the company"s final decision maker and his presence was naturally needed in Xian Group.

Jiang Ruolan never once despised the way Xian Zihao drove his car because he had always prioritized safety. Usually, when she was in his car, she wouldn"t feel any discomfort. However, on the way back, she felt her stomach churning and her face turning pale.

"Ruolan, are you feeling alright?" Xian Zihao noticed that she had been covering her mouth with her hands the whole time, and her face turned pale. He slowed down a bit, reached out a hand to take her hand, and carefully examined her face.

"I"m fine." Jiang Ruolan lied. She didn"t want to make Xian Zihao worry, so she forced out a smile and said, "Anyway, we"re almost at the Greenville Residence, there"s no need to worry about me."

"You never get carsick, how can you get carsick all of a sudden? I"ll take you to the hospital!" Xian Zihao immediately turned the car around and headed in the other direction.

Jiang Ruolan originally wanted to say that she didn"t need to go to the hospital, but considering her recent physical condition, she also felt anxious. Her period was also late. Of course, she did not think nonsense. After all, nausea and vomiting could be caused by eating the wrong food, and a late period could be because she lost too much blood, causing her body to be in a state of disarray.

Probably because she had been on leave for too long, her body became lazy, but since she was unsure, she did not dare tell Xian Zihao.

It would be nice to go to the hospital for a checkup, so Jiang Ruolan did not stop Xian Zihao. She raised her hand to cover her mouth again, holding back the disgust and the nausea feeling.

Upon arrival at the side hospital closest to Greenville Residence, Xian Zihao immediately parked his car in the parking lot, then got out of the car. He went to the pa.s.senger side.

Before Jiang Ruolan could get out of the car, he already opened the door and reached out to help her. After seeing her pale face, Xian Zihao immediately frowned.

He simply wanted to hug her, but Jiang Ruolan embarra.s.sedly dodged him. "With so many people here, how can I be so weak?"

Xian Zihao burst into laughter. Ignoring her shy look, he said, "Idiot." Even so, he was still supporting her body while walking into the hospital. Xian Zihao was about to make a call when Jiang Ruolan stopped him.

"Zihao, why should we use our privileges to our advantage? We can queue up too and wait for the doctors to come over. The people who are queuing up in this hospital are all patients and they are all very anxious." she said sincerely as she looked at the crowd in the waiting room.

Xian Zihao paused for a moment, He looked around and then glanced at her. He put down the phone, faintly smiled, "Alright, sit down first. I"ll go register for you."

Jiang Ruolan chuckled and obediently sat down on the vacant seat in the resting area. At this moment, the LED TV screen on the wall of the hospital"s first floor was broadcasting the entire news of what had just happened in the city.

The news anchor was reporting about a car accident that happened half an hour ago on a road in the southern part of H City. A young man had died in a car accident. At this moment, the camera had captured the situation of a certain hospital and the families of the victims were crying loudly until a familiar figure with red eyes was seen at the end of the crowd.

That was …

Xiong Ruogang!
