Chapter 315 - Cui Liuxian Has Been Scolded

"Both of you had been living together these past few years, does that mean you also sleep together often? It wouldn"t be strange if you two are really siblings, but you two aren"t blood-related." Cui Liuxian blinked her eyes and smiled curiously and innocently.

Jiang Ruolan looked at her blandly, while Jiang Yijun glanced at her expressionlessly.

The first to go on a rampage was actually Xian Guiying, who had been silent for two whole days.

She slammed down her chopsticks. Because of what happened two days ago, she had become a lot more haggard. She also had spent these days alone in her room. She didn"t come out much and didn"t say much, but now she looked at Cui Liuxian with a cold expression. "Why do you always try to find problems with other people? Is it because you are bored and there is nothing else to do all day?"

Cui Liuxian paused and looked at Xian Guiying with a wronged expression. She then said in a soft voice, "I don"t have any other intentions, but these two aren"t related. What if there"s any problem? Look at you, Big Sister Guiying. You are not even married yet getting pregnant. That"s hard to say whether she"s really clean."

Xian Guiying immediately frowned. Before she could say anything, the Old Man suddenly said, "Liuxian, grandpa"s in a good mood today. Say less, don"t make things difficult for me."

Upon hearing the Old Man"s words, Xian Guiying held herself back, but her appet.i.te was clearly gone. She put down her chopsticks and stopped picking them up.

Cui Liuxian bit her lips. She didn"t expect that the Old Man who usually doted on her, would treat her like this and teach her a lesson in front of everyone. Her smug expression from just a moment ago had disappeared, but she unwillingly gave up.

Cui Liuxian lowered her head and used her chopsticks to poke the bowl in front of her as he muttered, "What I said was the truth."

"Liuxian!" Zhan An also frowned and scolded her in a low voice.

Cui Liuxian bit her lips and kept quiet.

Jiang Ruolan didn"t have to open her mouth. As the crowd reprimanded Cui Liuxian, she just sat there looking at her calmly.

At this time, Xian Zihao took the freshly heated milk that Nanny Chen had brought and poured a cup for her.

He put it in front of her. At the same time, he smiled faintly, "I only found out that Yijun has a few nice houses in F City when I went to pick you up. Instead of living alone in an old building near the University, why don"t you stay in one of his houses?"

When he said this, Xian Zihao"s expression was calm. His words making Cui Liuxian"s accusation just now were just a joke.

Xian Zihao looked at Jiang Ruolan with a gentle smile and said in an indifferent voice. He easily told everyone the answer they had doubted but did not want to ask.

Jiang Ruolan understood his intention immediately, and laughed calmly, "Although Yijun and I have always been on good terms, I stayed in the dorms when I was in University. When I was about to take an internship, I rented an apartment near the University. After Yijun graduated, I let him choose F University and he also stayed in the dorm. Then he got a job and lived in the apartment the company had arranged for him. He rarely came to my place. I haven"t moved into any of the houses he has because I was used to living alone."

What Jiang Ruolan said was the truth. Even though they were siblings and they would inevitably live together, such opportunities were really rare. Even if they lived together, they would always be separated. She slept in her room and Jiang Yijun slept in his room. There was nothing to hide.

However, with Cui Liuxian"s forceful questioning just now, even if Jiang Ruolan had answered, the atmosphere might not have improved. Instead, it would have made everyone think that she was just hiding something and making her even more suspicious.

Jiang Yijun noticed Jiang Ruolan"s gaze and when he saw Cui Liuxian"s previously indifferent expression, he smiled as if he was actually interested in her question. "Miss Cui is so "innocent", it"s rare for her to ask such a sharp question. She even had the guts to question our relationship. Those who don"t know this will think that you"ve been forced to act foolishly, making people think that you had something to hide." Jiang Yijun pointed to Jiang Ruolan as he said the last two sentences.

"You …" Cui Liuxian opened her mouth and stared at Jiang Yijun in surprise.

Jiang Yijun didn"t even look at her, and directly shifted his gaze away while saying calmly. "Since seven years ago, when Ruolan suffered from serious frostbite at the Jiang Family, she would easily get a high fever as long as she had a cold. I normally don"t have many opportunities to take care of her, because she likes to be independent. She always said that I am always in her way."

It was a joke, but it also made the relationship between the brother and sister sound harmonious and pure. Then Jiang Yijun glanced at the smiling Xian Zihao. For once, the two of them joined forces against a common enemy.

Jiang Ruolan felt that she could finally rest in peace.

"Yeah, Ruolan is one year older than Yijun and has the demeanor of a big sister. Even if they aren"t related by blood, these twenty-something years of sisterhood are real. Liuxian, stop watching those bad TV dramas and don"t let your imagination run wild."

Zhan An"s words made the dinner return to its previous blissful state. Only Cui Liuxian looked like she had suffered a grievance. She lowered her head and eating her food without a word.

The Old Man occasionally chatted with Xian Jian while smiling. From time to time, he would shift his gaze between Jiang Ruolan and Jiang Yijun as if he was observing something.

Apparently, the Old Man took this matter to heart. He didn"t consider it at first, but after Cui Liuxian"s implicit reminder, Old Man Xian started to pay attention to their actions.

Therefore, Cui Liuxian was indeed a ticking time bomb.

Jiang Ruolan glanced at Cui Liuxian, thinking that she really wouldn"t give up until she hit the wall. This kind of perseverance was enough to make her admire Cui Liuxian. If they were not enemies, they would become best friends. Too bad that things wouldn"t happen.

Xian Zihao gave Jiang Ruolan a bowl of soup. She easily pushed the bowl of soup to Jiang Yijun, asking him to drink first, and then under everyone"s surprised gaze, she said intimately to Xian Zihao, "Hubby, help me fill another bowl. Let"s both drink in the same bowl, I can"t drink that much."

Xian Zihao smiled. "Why? Is your appet.i.te so bad tonight?" Even though he said that, he casually helped her fill another bowl and placed it in front of her. His gentle voice was filled with tenderness as he said, "Drink it first. If you can"t finish it, then give it to me."

Jiang Ruolan"s feelings and care for her brother, as well as her close intimacy with Xian Zihao, were all-natural. The Old Man decided to think that he was overly concerned. The observing look in his eyes gradually disappeared. Afterward, he glanced at Cui Liuxian indifferently, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with her poking out a few words and ruined the New Year"s Eve meal.

"Spoiled girl, drink some soup. It"s good for the body and it"s good for the child as well." The Old Man smiled kindly.

Although the Old Man was pleased tonight, he didn"t eat that much. He had been watching everyone eat with a smile on his face the entire time.

His eyes were filled with satisfaction.

Cui Liuxian remained silent from beginning to end. Occasionally, she would raise her gaze to glance at Jiang Yijun and Jiang Ruolan. It was unknown what she was thinking.

Xian Zihao, on the other hand, noticed Cui Liuxian"s action. Although he was calm and spent his time treating Jiang Ruolan, but it was clear that he saw Cui Liuxian"s gaze and every move.

Cui Liuxian immediately averted her gaze, avoiding the faint warning look in Xian Zihao"s eyes. She took a tissue, lowering her head, and quietly wiped her tears.
