Chapter 114 - The Past I (1/2)

Marriott Hotel was a high-end hotel belonging to the first and second families in the country. Most of the people who were able to stay in the Marriott Hotel were rare and influential.

As soon as Jiang Ruolan stepped out of the car, she shivered from the cold wind that suddenly hit her face. She only wore a long-sleeved shirt and a thin jacket, but she did not think that the city was now colder in the fall than a few years ago.

She couldn't help but raise her hand to rub her arm. Suddenly, she felt the warmth in the back of her shoulder. As she turned around, she saw Xian Zihao unconsciously take off his jacket and put it on her.

”Have them take you to your room and ask the hotel staff to prepare some food. I still have some things I need to do. You could use this time to revise the materials Secretary Du gave you.” Xian Zihao pointed at the two hotel staff who were already guarding the entrance of the hotel.

”Then I'll be going in.” Jiang Ruolan nodded and suddenly stopped in front of the entrance. She wanted to return his coat, but when she looked back, Xian Zihao was already in the car, and the black car fled in the blink of an eye.

She looked at the car and thought that no matter where Xian Zihao went, there would always be a limousine to pick him up. He probably wouldn't catch a cold.

Jiang Ruolan turned around and followed the hotel staff inside.

When the two staff went in, they specifically asked her if she should get another room or go to President Xian's room. Without thinking, Jiang Ruolan asked for another room.

She knew Xian Zihao's room was 1909, and her room had been arranged by the two staff numbered 1908, just across from his room.

Jiang Ruolan only glanced at the door opposite and went into her room.

This was the Marriott Hotel's VIP suite. As soon as she entered, his feet stepped on the soft carpet. She turned on the lights and looked inside. The room looks very luxurious and comfortable.

Jiang Ruolan slowly walked to the large and bright window and lightly opened the heavy dark gold curtain. Although it was not even 6 o'clock, the sky had already darkened by more than half.

It has been more than seven years, and Jiang Ruolan never thought she would set foot in this city again.

This city had given her too many memories that she would never forget. Perhaps all those memories had already been deeply ingrained in her life. She had thought that those memories were things that could be passed on and could be forgotten forever but now, standing in this city once again, her heart was unable to feel at ease.

Looking at the city from a distance, which was already lit with lights and at the twenty-four-storey building next to the TV tower, Jiang Ruolan suddenly remembered the memory of her mother committing suicide twenty years ago.

Back then, that building was the only tallest building in G City, and 20 years later, there were skyscrapers everywhere. If it wasn't for her clear sense of direction, she probably wouldn't have been able to find the 24 story building that had been renovated countless times.

She suddenly remembered her father, Jiang Guanyu...

The famous chairman of the Jiang Family in G City. Back then, Jiang Guanyu was only a department manager who had just obtained a degree, and it had taken him more than ten years to reach this position. And the person who helped him reach the top was his wife, Zhan An's sister, Zhan Lian.

Jiang Ruolan remembered that she was only a few months older than Jiang Bingqing. Did someone abandon their wife and daughter to marry into another family for the sake of their fame and position, or was her mother really just a mistress that he, Jiang Guanyu, had been with?

It was clear to all of them that the reason why Zhan An didn't make things difficult for Jiang Ruolan and accepted her was because she had personally watched her own sister snatch Jiang Guanyu away from her mother.
