Chapter 88 - Confrontation III (1/2)

Since he was not her father, she had no right or reason to rebuke at him. Thus, Jiang Ruolan calmly lowered her bloodshot eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice, ”I didn't push her, nor did I steal something from her. Whether you believe it or not, I don't care.”

With that, she pushed the necklace into Zhan An's hand. Jiang Ruolan took a deep breath as she forced herself to remain rational. She quickly turned around to leave the house that she felt was like hell.

”Scram! Scram far away! Our Xian Family does not welcome such a vicious woman like you!” Xian Jian cursed angrily.

”Xian Jian!” Although Zhan An didn't stop Jiang Ruolan, she still felt her husband was too much.

The old man had long rushed upstairs with Cui Liuxian.

Xian Zihao just stood there, looking at Jiang Ruolan's red eyes. He wanted to hear an explanation from her.

Just as she walked out the door, he finally frowned and shouted in a low voice, ”Wait.”

Jiang Ruolan acting as if she didn't hear him and walked out mechanically step by step. The coldness in Xian Zihao's eyes gradually increased as he lifted his feet and walked towards her.

”Zihao, stop right there!” Seeing that he dared to keep the woman, Xian Jian shouted and glared at him.

Xian Zihao only paused for a moment before looking at Xian Jian who was about to explode, ”This matter has yet to be proven. Your slap not only hit your daughter-in-law but also my face!! Just based on Cui Liuxian's words alone, you convicted Ruolan. Which family's law does this belong to?”

”You!” Xian Jian roared in anger.

Xian Zihao had already turned around and walked out, ”Jiang Ruolan, stop right there!”

Jiang Ruolan was lost in her own thoughts. She hadn't heard the voices behind her. Suddenly, she was stopped by someone. She staggered and quickly stabilized her body. She slowly turned her head and looked doubtfully at Xian Zihao, who had a little bit of coldness in his eyes.

Why was his expression so cold?

Was it because he also believes in Cui Liuxian's words? The anger and humiliation from his father and Old Man Xian were not enough.

Did he also want to give her another slap?

Jiang Ruolan smirked as she hid her sadness. ”If you don't believe me, I can accept it. I accepted this slap from your father because he is an elder. But Xian Zihao, before we know the truth, I hope you can at least give this nominal wife of yours some dignity.”

Xian Zihao just looked at her and pursed his lips in silence.

Jiang Ruolan took a deep breath. ”Since you are my husband, can you turn off your car identification system and lend me your car keys? This place is too far away from the city and if I wanted to walk back, I'm afraid it would be impossible. You want me to leave too right?”

Seeing that Xian Zihao was doing nothing, Jiang Ruolan smiled helplessly. She forcefully pulled her wrist away from his grip and walked briskly.

She had only taken a few steps before her wrist was pulled back with a slight tug. She looked back to face his cold face.

”Since you didn't do it, what's the point of leaving?” His voice was neither loud nor low, but it was like a drop of sweet spring water that had long since seeped into her heart and numbed it.

Jiang Ruolan was stunned. The anger in her eyes gradually faded as she looked at him stiffly. ”You … Believe in me?” She stared at his eyes with disbelief.

”I do.” Xian Zihao let go of her wrist and caressed her red and swollen face. The wrinkles on his forehead and the coldness in his eyes were clearly not due to her.

His slender but warm fingers caressed her face gently. Jiang Ruolan hissed in pain. ”Dad was angry and he was an impatient person. Even mom couldn't stand his temper, so let's talk about it after Cui Liuxian woke up.”

”You will blame me when she wakes up?”

Xian Zihao ignored her words. He immediately turned around and walked back to the door, while saying indifferently, ”You do not need to leave, even if you want to leave, I will accompany you. Jiang Ruolan, we're husband and wife, understand?”

She did.

She did believe him.

Because they were husband and wife.

Even in her dream, she never thought that Xian Zihao would believe her. In fact, she had long predicted that Cui Liuxian might cause problems so that she would not have a place in the Xian Family.
