Chapter 86 - Confrontation I (1/2)

Jiang Ruolan shuddered. For unknown reasons, she felt there were many things that Cui Liuxian wanted to convey to her. The battle will begin now.

”Are you getting used to the Xian Family?” Cui Liuxian walked gracefully step by step with a sinister smile on her face. She saw doubt in Jiang Ruolan's eyes and walked towards her.

Cui Liuxian in front of her was different from Cui Liuxian who was in Greenville Residence.

The person in front of her was the real Cui Liuxian. The one in front of the Xian Family was the fake one.

If that was the case, then Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but admire this two-face woman in front of her.

Zhan An had once comforted her (Jiang Ruolan) when Cui Liuxian had brazenly provoked her, and Xian Zihao had explained everything that she had said to her. He also once said that Cui Liuxian was still immature, which was why she acted like this.

Cui Liuxian was the younger sister who was taken care of by Xian Zihao until she was an adult. No matter how stubborn she was, it was natural that he didn't think too much about her behaviour.

From Jiang Ruolan's point of view, although she did not want to compete with Cui Liuxian for anything, but from her (Cui Liuxian) sinister look, she (Jiang Ruolan) still could not prevent herself from being an enemy to her.

Among women, especially love rivals, there was never true harmony. Not to mention, no one was stupid, so they all know how to control themselves.

At this time, Xian Zihao was upstairs with the Old Man. Cui Liuxian knew this, that's why she suddenly came downstairs and took this opportunity to confront her.

”That was Tie Guanyin that grandpa and dad loved to drink. This is a good quality Tie Guanyin delivered every year by a 100-year-old tea house in Fujian. Grandpa was too old to drink too much tea, but every day he would behave like a child and ask me to make him bubble tea using that tea.” Cui Liuxian's gaze landed on the teacup next to Jiang Ruolan.

”I can see that the Old Man really likes you.” Jiang Ruolan smiled sincerely as she looked at Cui Liuxian right in the eye. ”With you by his side, he will be the happiest thing in the world.”

Cui Liuxian smiled proudly as her gaze shifted to two ink and water paintings at the bottom of the stairs. ”Both paintings were painted by me when I was in high school, and I gave them to grandpa as a gift for his seventy-fifth birthday. They have been there ever since, for so many years.”

Jiang Ruolan looked at the two paintings without batting an eyelid, ”So you painted them? I only know a little about this aspect, so I can only say that it is very beautiful.

Cui Liuxian looked at her for a long time before finally saying, ”Dad will be back in a while. Zihao is currently with grandpa, do you want to accompany me for a walk?”

”Alright, I was just feeling bored sitting here by myself.”

Cui Liuxian pursed her lips. She seemed to have noticed the softness and lack of edge in Jiang Ruolan's words, so she restrained herself and walked towards the door.

Not that Jiang Ruolan did not know what Cui Liuxian was trying to convey. She understood what she (Cui Liuxian) was trying to say; her importance to the Xian Family, her position in the Xian Family and even more so, her position in Xian Zihao's heart.

However, Jiang Ruolan deliberately acted foolishly and pretended not to understand what she said. When Cui Liuxian didn't receive a response from her, she will naturally stop using words to coerce her.

If her guess was right, Cui Liuxian would force herself to back down by using any means at all. This was just the beginning.

Cui Liuxian was smarter than she imagines. At the very least, in front of Xian's Family members, she (Cui Liuxian) was very good at restraining her temper, making people gasp in admiration.

”I grew up with the Xian Family since I was little. Zihao was the only boy that I've only had around me.”

The two of them walked along a small path paved with goose eggs, passing through a scattered bamboo forest on both sides, and slowly paced around a perfectly formed swimming pool in the front yard of the Xian Residence.

Jiang Ruolan didn't say anything as she listened to Cui Liuxian's words. She quietly looked at the natural rocks around the pool. Some of the rocks had sharp horns.

”Zihao really loves me. Since I was young, no matter if I'm crying or making a fuss, as long as he's by my side, he will hug me, wipe my tears, pushed Guiying, who always bullied me aside, and protects me behind his back from time to time again. When I was very young, I've always thought that when I grow up, I'll marry him.”
