Chapter 159 - I Have Always Believed That We Will Meet Again In The Future (2/2)

For the first time in twenty years, Zhou Yang returned to the city. Naturally, the head of the city-wide delegation will personally arrange a banquet for him.

In the lobby of the most famous hotel in H City, chandeliers were lit, and red carpets covered the floor. Since Jiang Ruolan was a reporter with a job, she took a small camera with her and walked to a crowded place to record the rare scene in front of her.

On the other side of the crowd, Cui Liuxian and Old Man Xian were standing together. Old Man Xian was happily chatting with a middle-aged man in military uniform, while Cui Liuxian was quietly listening to their conversation without interrupting them.

Xian Jian was standing in front of them. Coincidentally, when he glanced over, he saw Jiang Ruolan and his face immediately didn't look good.

Out of politeness, Jiang Ruolan slowly walked towards them. ”Dad. How are you?”

Xian Jian glanced at her coldly. A few people were standing close to him, so he answered indifferently. However, seeing that there were people around who were giving her face and responding to her, Jiang Ruolan immediately gave a gentle smile and slowly walked forward, handing him a glass of juice that she had just held in her hand.

”Senior Zhou is coming to H City tonight. I'm afraid that everyone will be accompanying him until late tonight and you seem to have rushed over this afternoon. You didn't eat dinner yet, aren't you? So why don't you drink some juice first?”

”Thanks, no need.” Xian Jian rejected it indifferently.

Jiang Ruolan wasn't discouraged. She held the glass in her hand and a natural smile showed on her lips. ”Dad, what happened during Mid-Autumn Festival, actually, I did something wrong too. I made you and grandfather unhappy. I want to apologize to you.” She blinked and looked at Xian Jiang, whose face didn't soften at all. ”For the sake of being your daughter-in-law, please don't take it to heart, okay?”

Xian Jian looked at her coldly. At that time, he had slapped her without investigating the truth.

Although there was an unwillingness in Jiang Ruolan's eyes, she had also calmed down a lot, not defending herself, only waiting and allowing the facts to speak. Although she was being mistreated, she did not cry, not acting wildly, always moving forward and even more so not bearing a grudge in her heart. Yet now, she lowered head and trying to apologize,

A hint of appreciation flashed across Xian Jian's eyes, but he still said in a stern voice. ”Jiang Ruolan, it's a good thing you know your limits, but if you use this little trick again, you won't know what consequence you will face!”

Jiang Ruolan's lips curved into a reserved smile. How could she not understand what he meant? The meaning of his words was that she had played some tricks to marry Xian Zihao. She had used a little trick to sneak into Xian Family, which was why she did not have the right to call him father.

It seemed that Cui Liuxian had already penetrated and poisoned their minds. Her act of using public opinion to climb up a high branch can be used to nail the boards.

As for what had happened at the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cui Liuxian was too sad at that time. She admitted that she fell down by herself and because she couldn't get over her anger, she pushed the blame onto you.” Xian Jian suddenly said.

Jiang Ruolan, however, wasn't happy because of his final sentence. Xian Jian didn't have the slightest intention of blaming Cui Liuxian. He looked at her coldly and said in a very indifferent tone, ”People get married occasionally due to negative emotions. Cui Liuxian is ignorant, and the reason she did that is also due to her love for Xian Zihao.”

Jiang Ruolan chuckled. She could even blame this kind of framing on the Xian Family. It's because they loved and pampered Cui Liuxian too much, these things happened.

But instead of blaming her, Xian Jian rather blamed Jiang Ruolan. He even had a nerve saying that it was because of her appearance, Cui Liuxian had become like this.

At this moment, Jiang Ruolan didn't know what to do other than laugh. Her heart was cold.

”Dad.” She raised her eyes and fearlessly looked into Xian Jian's dignified eyes. ”Every girl in this world grows up from ignorance. Maybe I'm not more sensible than her, but I'm more tolerant than her.”

Jiang Ruolan smiled and met Xian Jian's frosty gaze without fear.

”You mean, you still want to try to enter our Xian Family?” Xian Jian squinted, his eyes filled with displeasure.

”I have always believed that we will meet again in the future.” Jiang Ruolan smiled back.

Xian Jian took a deep breath in anger. He just stared at her as if she was the kind of woman that was hard to deal with. Perhaps if she wasn't a woman, he might just shoot her.

At this moment, there was a commotion in front of the hotel's front door. People's voices could be heard. ”Senior Zhou has arrived!”
