Chapter 249 - Cui Luixian’s Anger III
Jiang Ruolan came down the stairs without saying anything and thought she just had to pour a gla.s.s of water and then go back upstairs. She walked to the low cabinet, picked up the thermos, and poured a gla.s.s of hot water. Just as Jiang Ruolan was about to bring it to Cui Liuxian, she suddenly froze in her steps and the gla.s.s in her hand was almost falling off. The hot water made her hand immediately turn red.
Jiang Ruolan barely managed to hold the gla.s.s as she looked at Cui Liuxian, who was holding a fruit knife with a gloomy expression on her face.
"Here"s some water for you." Seeing Cui Liuxian looking at her with a dark expression, Jiang Ruolan immediately frowned. Although she was not afraid of her at all, it was better not to cause trouble.
However, instead of taking the gla.s.s from Jiang Ruolan"s hand, Cui Liuxian slowly raised the fruit knife. The instant Jiang Ruolan sensed danger, she quickly went to dodge, but the sharp knife suddenly touched her face.
"Don"t move." Cui Liuxian"s low voice slowly sounded and her eyes filled with hatred.
Jiang Ruolan frowned. "Cui Liuxian, what are you trying to do?"
"Don"t move! Don"t make a sound! Otherwise, I will directly cut a few lines on your face so that you won"t be able to see anyone for the rest of your life!"
"Alright, I won"t move." Jiang Ruolan tried her best to stay calm. This was the Xian Residence, and although it was late at night and no one else was walking around the living room, and the servants had all gone to bed, Cui Liuxian would never do anything too crazy inside the residence.
Jiang Ruolan let out a soft sigh as she watched Cui Liuxian move the fruit knife away from her face. When she went downstairs, Cui Liuxian must already felt her coming down and her hand paused for a moment before she called out to Nanny Cheng. This was Cui Liuxian"s plan all along and Jiang Ruolan was too stupid for not noticed it sooner.
"What do you want? This is the Xian Residence." Jiang Ruolan looked calmly at Cui Liuxian"s face and eyes. She could tell from Cui Liuxian"s gaze that she was not in the right mind.
"I know this is the Xian Residence, and I also know if I harmed you, my entire family cannot tolerate me, just like they couldn"t tolerate you back then." Cui Liuxian chuckled lowly, tears streaming down her face. "Jiang Ruolan, you"re really amazing. I"ve been in the Xian Family for twenty-three years, and my father and grandfather have never scolded me. But now look at what had happened. Because of you, I was scolded by my grandfather!"
"I always thought that when I grew up, I would marry Zihao. But you, Jiang Ruolan, what right did you have to steal my dream?! I"ve fought for myself to get back my Zihao, but why all is not effective! What"s wrong with me?"
Jiang Ruolan frowned. "You are completely wrong. When Zihao and I got married, we never intended to walk and be together. Cui Liuxian, in this world, only you can have warmth and someone to love you. Only you can have something that no one else can touch? That"s why you try to do anything against Guiying because you are afraid she will steal all your belongings and you want the whole family only to love you."
"You want to marry Xian Zihao, so all the women around him are your hindrance. Do you want to use the same method to drive me away from Zihao"s life too? In your brain, you"re the only one who is right and others have no right to defend themselves. Do you know how despicable your selfishness is? Because of your selfishness, your so-called father slapped me and accused me only by listening to your b.l.o.o.d.y and tearful complaints without a single word of truth!"
Jiang Ruolan saw the hatred gather in Cui Liuxian"s eyes. No matter what she said, it wouldn"t be accepted by Cui Liuxian.
Jiang Ruolan sighed. "Cui Liuxian, aren"t you watching too many idyllic dramas? Do you think this is a fairy tale? To make someone love you is not wrong, but you have always used the despicable method! Sooner or later, you will be trapped in a trap that you set for yourself since you were young!"
"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to stand here and talk to me like that?!" Cui Liuxian sneered as she tightened her grip on the fruit knife.
Jiang Ruolan could clearly feel the sharp blade of the fruit knife on her cheek. The ice-cold feeling of the knife made her feel scared, but she was currently trapped between Cui Liuxian and the cabinet. On her right was a chair blocking her way, and on her left was her knife.
"Do you know? Jiang Ruolan, if there wasn"t you in this world, then I wouldn"t have been ignored by Zihao. I wouldn"t have done so many things to make Zihao hate me and I wouldn"t have even let grandfather see my bad side and scold me. Zihao would have married me, I would have become an honorable Xian Family, and wouldn"t have been left behind by others!"
"But you! You"re the one who ruined it all! You"re the one who ruined my dream and my life! So, since I"ve already been destroyed by you, why don"t I destroy you as well." As soon as Cui Liuxian finished speaking, she turned the fruit knife in her hand.
"Cui Liuxian!" Jiang Ruolan immediately shouted out a warning, ordering her not to be impulsive. At this moment, her heart was pounding with fear. "Don"t be like this!"
"Don"t worry, I know Zihao"s character. Even if I make your face look completely different from before, he"ll only feel more sorry for you!" Cui Liuxian slowly put down the fruit knife. Jiang Ruolan let out a sigh of relief and when she wanted to run away, she abruptly felt the sharp knife at her stomach.
Jiang Ruolan felt a chill run down her spine. She looked at Cui Liuxian with shock. "Don"t be rash!"
"I"m not impulsive! It was this child that made me so desperate! This child"s presence made G.o.dfather and grandpa have no reason to reject you! Your position in the Xian Family will be consolidated because of him! Since this child should not have appeared, why not just let him die in your stomach!" Cui Liuxian sneered and with tremendous force, she tried to stab the fruit knife forward violently.
Cui Liuxian was crazy! She was absolutely insane!
Jiang Ruolan was no longer able to maintain her calm. She no longer cares if Cui Liuxian will do something even more shockingly scary when she struggles because right now, Jiang Ruolan couldn"t let her hurt her child.
"I gave him so much money, but he still can"t destroy you! Then let me destroy you myself! to make you disappear with this f.u.c.king kid!"
"Let me go! Let go!" The two of them lifted their hands and started tearing at each other. Although Cui Liuxian wasn"t as strong as Jiang Ruolan, she (Cui Liuxian) still tried her best to use her strength to stop her (Jiang Ruolan).
"Jiang Ruolan! Go to h.e.l.l! Go to h.e.l.l!"
"Stop!"
In the blink of an eye, Xian Zihao held the fruit knife in Cui Liuxian"s hand. With a slight force, Cui Liuxian"s hand relaxed and the fruit knife fell to the floor. He swung Cui Liuxian away and turned to support Jiang Ruolan. "Are you hurt?"
Jiang Ruolan shook her head lightly, but she was terrified. She frowned as she looked at Cui Liuxian, who had fallen onto a chair to the side.
"What"s going on? I heard a commotion downstairs! What are the three of you have been doing?" The Old Man hurriedly walked down with his walking stick. He immediately saw Cui Liuxian and Xian Zihao, who both had frightened expressions, and Jiang Ruolan, whose face was slightly pale. Then the Old Man saw the fruit knife on the floor.
