Chapter 86 - Confrontation I (2/2)
”Ruolan, I understand that you are also a victim of those circumstances. Even you also disagreed with this marriage, right?” Cui Liuxian suddenly turned to look at her.
Jiang Ruolan raised her head and looked at Cui Liuxian pleading gaze. She couldn't answer for a while, so she could only stiffly look at Cui Liuxian's tantalizing tears that were about to fall.
Did she guess correctly? Cui Liuxian will force her to back down from this marriage.
”Before you get married, Zihao promised grandpa that we would find a good day to fulfil his wishes after next year's Spring Festival. Initially, we were supposed to take wedding photos in the coming months and start testing the wedding dress, but the news from two months ago turned all the happiness we had planned into futile.” Cui Liuxian said with a wry smile.
”Zihao is very disappointed as well. But to appease the public opinion, he took responsibility for everything that happened and had no choice but to marry you. I know you are not happy with this marriage either.”
”Jiang Ruolan, this marriage was opposed by the Xian Family. You probably should leave.”
”Miss Cui, you may have misunderstood.” Jiang Ruolan finally could not hold it in anymore.
Cui Liuxian was such a f*cking hypocrite and two-faced!
Since you wanted to be Lin Daiyu so much, this old lady will also use Xue Bao Chai method.
Cui Liuxian's pitiful acts may be effective against others, but not for Jiang Ruolan!
Cui Liuxian was not stupid but she, Jiang Ruolan was even more so!
”The decision of this marriage has never been mine. Whether it is because you want to comfort me or to sympathize with my misfortune, I think I can only thank you. As for my feelings for Xian Zihao, outsiders have no right to know and intervene. As for your statement that this marriage restrained me, it did not exist at all!”
Cui Liuxian looked at her for a moment before giving her a gentle smile. ”In the end, you just don't want to let go, right?”
”My husband, why should I let go?” Jiang Ruolan''s clear and limpid eyes looked at her in such a manner. There was no hostility in them, nor was there any intention to show any signs of weakness. She was merely stating a fact.
Since Xian Zihao didn't treat this marriage as child's play and would keep his distance from Cui Liuxian, what reason did she Jiang Ruolan have to back down?
”Your husband?” The smile in Cui Liuxian's eyes finally evoked a bit of arrogance and coldness, ”Apart from the marriage certificate, and the media, who else knows that Zihao is married? Are you engaged? Has the marriage ever happened? Has the wedding ever happened? Have you met with each other's relatives? Did you take a wedding photo? And rings, do you have them? Seeing that the two of you are so distant and polite with each other, I believe that he has never had the interest to touch you, right?”
Suddenly, she raised her hand and pulled out a white gold necklace with a diamond ring hanging in the middle of its collar. The word ”WQ” appeared to be engraved on the bottom of the necklace.
”This is the wedding ring that grandpa asked Zihao and I adjusted last year. It's a pair of rings, one with my name engraved on it, the other with Zihao's name engraved on it. That ring should still be at Zihao's place, have you seen it?”
Cui Liuxian's small face emitted a trace of coldness and resolution under the moonlight. She believed that Xian Zihao had always loved her. She stared at Jiang Ruolan without blinking, ”Jiang Ruolan, other than legally being his wife, what else could you be?”
Jiang Ruolan looked at the arrogant Cui Liuxian in front of her in silence.
”Do you really expect Zihao to fall in love with you?” Cui Liuxian's smile suddenly became somewhat strange as she walked closer step by step. She whispered into Jiang Ruolan's ear with a chuckle,
”Did you know that when I was nineteen, I was already his woman?! Five years ago, when he came back from Boston, he drank so much that he couldn't even walk steadily, and was sent back to his room by the driver at around midnight. The driver was afraid that he would disturb his grandfather and father, so I was the only one who helped him go back to his room. You should be able to guess what happened that night? Xian Family still doesn't know about this matter, and this is a secret between Zihao and me. Have you ever thought about it?”
Jiang Ruolan was still looking at her silently. She did not react as to whether she believed Cui Liuxian's words or not.
