Chapter 160 - Only Zihao Deserves To Be Your Grandson-in-Law (1/2)
To prevent Xian Jian from feeling angry and really making the old man shoot her, Jiang Ruolan smiled at him again. At the same time that he glared at her, she quickly disappeared in front of his eyes.
She passed through the crowd and noticed Xian Zihao's figure in the shadows. He stood at the other end of the crowd, tall and imposing, and when she noticed him, he already saw her in the crowd. He was looking at her with a touch of admiration and encouragement in his gentle eyes.
Only then did she realize that Xian Zihao had seen her earlier when she was chatting with Xian Jian.
Suddenly, Jiang Ruolan too, smiled and raised her eyebrows. Just as she was about to walk towards him, she caught sight of a figure coming in from the front door of the hotel.
The Old Man's temperament was the same as Old Man Xian. Even though he was very old, his eyes were bright and spirited, and based on the information she had gathered, he was seventy-four years old, but he looked younger and very energetic.
Although his hair was white, his steps were steady and firm.
Zhou Shufen smiled confidently and sweetly. Her long hair was tied up into a neat ponytail and hung down the back of her head. Her fair and pretty face was dyed with makeup.
Jiang Ruolan was in a trance for a moment. She even felt as if Zhou Shufen's gaze drifted towards her as soon as she entered the room.
When Jiang Ruolan looked at her again, Zhou Shufen's gaze was already drifting to everyone around her. She was walking behind Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang did not wear any extravagant attire and was only modestly dressed, but her eyes still exuded a faint spirit. Sweeping across the crowd, her eyes once again landed on Zhou Yang, and there was a faint sense of playfulness in her eyes.
Applause was heard in all directions in the hall, and everyone greeted with a smile. Jiang Ruolan was only a few steps away from Zhou Shufen and Senior Zhou. She forced herself to stand still and lowered her head to fiddle with the glass in her hand.
Just as she was about to raise the glass, she seemed to feel a cold and dignified gaze on her. Jiang Ruolan subconsciously raised her head, only to see Senior Zhou's eyes on her. The imposing aura he emitted made the surrounding people sigh.
Ironically, she had been accustomed to the disgusting and cold look of the people towards her since she was little. Naturally, she was not afraid. However, Senior Zhou's gaze was like a myriad of arrows that instantly pierced her heart.
When everyone's gaze fell on her, Jiang Ruolan slowly curled her lips and looked at Senior Zhou without fear. She smiled at him with indifferent expressions on her face.
Especially when Cui Liuxian's gaze turned towards her direction, her beautiful eyes were filled with faint ridicule.
It was rare for Cui Liuxian not to get involved with Xian Zihao in such a formal manner. Why was that so?
Was it because she knew about Zhou Shufen and Xian Zihao's past?
Due to the relationship between Zhou Shufen and Senior Zhou, she didn't dare to act rashly?
Or was it because Senior Zhou was here that she didn't dare to be impudent?
Or could it be that in front of Old Man Xian, she would always play the role of that gentle, quiet, and cute, obedient girl? So, that's why she just stayed by the Old Man's side and didn't say a word?
In order to gain a foothold in the Xian Family, Cui Liuxian had to suppress all of her emotions and nature like this. Living in such a disgraceful manner, why would she need to do so?
Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed onto her hand. Xian Zihao had walked towards her at some point and was holding her hand in front of everyone.
At that moment, the mocking expression in Cui Liuxian's eyes gradually turned cold. She clenched her hands into fists and endured it.
When Xian Zihao standing next to Jiang Ruolan, Senior Zhou's gaze fell on him, and a rare smile appeared on his face. ”Good boy, after five years of not seeing you, you have become even more high-spirited! Look, we seniors are about to be outdone by you!”
Senior Zhou pointed at Old Man Xian and Xian Jian. ”Occupying the Central Region, your son at that time was enough to make me look at him with a new light. Now, your grandson is far greater!”
”Isn't your beloved granddaughter also an impressive person?” Old Man Xian walked with a smile and looked at Zhou Shufen with appreciation.
”Senior Zhou has been in the business and military world for decades and has a very high reputation. How dare I compete with you? I am afraid that Senior Zhou just needs to show your spear and my little life will be gone.” Xian Zihao said with a calm and collected voice, which made Senior Zhou nod with a smile on his face.
