Chapter 382 - Senior Zhou’s Arrival I

Jiang Ruolan raised her head and looked at Xian Zihao in surprise, only to see him looking at her with a soft smile. She sighed almost inaudibly, then leaned back into his arms with a straight face on her face, "Hey, who told you that I married you so easily? In this world, there is no man who marries a woman as easily as you. You think a marriage certificate is enough to tie me up?"

Xian Zihao could not help but laugh. "What? The last time I was late at the wedding, some bride ran away because of all the misunderstandings that happened, and now you want me to make it up to you? I thought you didn"t even want to get married?"

Jiang Ruolan just smiled and didn"t say anything else. Sometimes, women should not speak constantly, and there were also many things that had nothing to do with principles. She would let her husband decide what to do.

"When our children are born, let them be our flower boy and flower girl. You just need to be a beautiful and happy bride." Xian Zihao smiled and held her close. "And don"t ever leave me again, Ruolan."

Jiang Ruolan lay quietly in his arms, nodding as she heard his heartbeat.

Suddenly, Nanny Cheng"s voice came from outside the door, "Young Master, Young Madam...Senior Zhou is here."

Jiang Ruolan"s expression froze when she heard Senior Zhou"s name. She immediately frowned. "What is he doing here?"

After Nanny Cheng finished her sentence, she left. Jiang Ruolan immediately looked at Xian Zihao and his gaze on her was gentle and remained calm as if Senior Zhou"s arrival didn"t have any effect on him at all.

"It looks like the Zhou Family is deciding to make a showdown." He swore.

"A showdown?"

Jiang Ruolan froze for a moment. Before she could respond, Xian Zihao had hugged her and kissed her forehead. "No matter what happens, I will always be by your side. You have to face what you have to face. Let"s go down."

Jiang Ruolan understood his meaning. She gave him a grateful look, then nodded again.

Originally, she didn"t want to have anything to do with the Zhou Family, but if there really were a blood relationship between them, she would not be able to do anything. There were some things that were really true, and she will never be able to control them.

As they both went downstairs, they saw Senior Zhou enter the house and greet Old Man Xian with a smile.

When Jiang Ruolan walked down, Senior Zhou"s gaze immediately shifted to her, "Ruolan, you have returned from America, but you don"t come and see your grandfather?"

His half-smile and words caused everyone in the room to be in shock. Old Man Xian first looked at Senior Zhou"s expression and then looked at Jiang Ruolan"s expression. Although she didn"t smile, it was clear whatever Senior Zhou said just now was true.

"Grandfather?" Xian Jian asked, "What does Senior Zhou mean?"

"What? Hasn"t this child told you yet?"

Nanny Cheng and some servants brought tea and poured it for all the people in the living room. Senior Zhou sat on the couch and said with a smile.

"Ruolan"s mother was the daughter of a wife I divorced. You may not have heard of this. I was in a bad mood at the time and accidentally kicked my unborn daughter out of the family. After years of searching for her, I finally found her. Ruolan is very similar to her mother. When I was in Xian Residence last time, I knew her at first glance, but unfortunately, she was so stubborn and refused to recognize me."

Old Man Xian just smiled politely before looking at Jiang Ruolan, who was walking to the couch. His gaze changed from looking at her normally to examining her.

Xian Jian was also somewhat surprised. "So Jiang Guanyu is also counted as your son-in-law?"

If Jiang Ruolan"s mother was Senior Zhou"s daughter, how can Jiang Guanyu marry Zhan Lian?

Wouldn"t the Zhou Family be able to help him become a peerless existence?

Just when everyone was feeling suspicious, Jiang Ruolan suddenly opened her mouth. "Senior Zhou, this is the after all Xian Family. The old matters that you speak of are our private matters. Is there a need to gather so many people?"

The Zhou Family was influential in the business world, and everyone knows that in the past, the position of this family in the country was something that no one dared to be underestimated. Now, his words were naturally heavy, like a thousand mountains.

Senior Zhou had deliberately emphasized this matter, and it made Jiang Ruolan really felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing Jiang Ruolan"s expression was not very good, Senior Zhou just stared at her for a moment and did not reply. He just smiled as he looked at Xian Zihao. "Zihao, it looks like what I said before was true. In the end, you are still my grandson-in-law."

When Xian Zihao heard this, the corner of his mouth curved into a faint smile. "Hehe, Senior Zhou gathered a lot of people, I thought something had happened. I did not think your presence here was just to acknowledge Ruolan as your granddaughter. However, some of the past events are already decades old and there is no need for Senior Zhou to hold onto it and not let it go, not to mention, Ruolan might not be able to adapt to your existence as her grandfather. Please don"t force her."

Xian Zihao"s words were polite. In fact, if Senior Zhou really wanted to acknowledge Jiang Ruolan as his granddaughter, they wouldn"t need to be so polite. But who was Xian Zihao?

The Xian Family, who had a high reputation and had produced several generations of generals, still could not be too powerful in the end when facing such a man like Senior Zhou.

At this moment, Jiang Yijun entered the house. He saw the situation in the living room, then looked at Jiang Ruolan"s expression. He frowned and walked towards her. "What happened?"

When Senior Zhou heard Jiang Yijun"s voice, he turned around and glanced at him. Immediately, he seemed to have thought of something and smiled, "I know quite a bit about Ruolan and Yijun. Recently, along with Ruolan"s relationship with the Zhou Family, I also know a lot about the past."

Then Senior Zhou looked at Jiang Ruolan firmly. "Child, you can temporarily reject this grandfather. I know that in the last twenty years, our Zhou Family has not given you the love you deserve. Some things are also related to Shufen."

As he said this, Senior Zhou"s eyes swept across Xian Zihao and he seemed to think that this matter should not be brought up now. He paused for a moment and continued, "Your father is Jiang Guanyu, but I have some knowledge about the couple in the Jiang Family."

Senior Zhou looked at Xian Jian and Old Man Xian faintly as he talked about these things. The latter remained silent as if they were not listening at all.

There was a strange smile in the corner of Senior Zhou"s mouth as he said, "I believe Old Man Xian and Xian Jian also knew that when Jiang Guanyu got married, I gave him two big gifts because of my good relationship with Jiang Family. Who knew that twenty years later, Jiang Guanyu would give a big gift to me! My daughter and granddaughter did not live well when they were in the Jiang Family, and my daughter has been missing for the past twenty years. I am very curious, how did he do it?"

Currently, the meaning of Senior Zhou"s words was very simple. He wanted to know the reason why Zhou Qingling was left behind by Jiang Guanyu many years ago and also to find her whereabouts.

Or perhaps, he had already guessed that Zhou Qingling had died, but that incident that year was controlled single-handedly by the Jiang Family. Twenty years later, when Senior Zhou wanted to investigate all aspects, he was unable to find a place to do so.
