Chapter 160 - Only Zihao Deserves To Be Your Grandson-in-Law (2/2)

”Five years ago, when your grandfather told you to go back home and take over your family's business, I already couldn't bear to see you leave the United States. I didn't expect that in just five years, you would have already shocked the entire mainland's business community. Haish..It's a pity that I did not force this spoiled girl to hold tight on you.”

Senior Zhou looked meaningfully at Zhou Shufen who was standing behind him. His eyes were filled with helplessness.

”Grandpa, look at how pleased you are with yourself. You once said that Zihao has done a lot of good and now, you can't stop talking about him the moment you saw him.” Zhou Shufen smiled and turned to Xian Zihao.

Her clear and pleasant voice continued, ”But you also said that only Zihao deserves to be your grandson-in-law.”

Zhou Shufen looked at Xian Zihao's face as if she was trying to convey something and then looked at Jiang Ruolan.

Jiang Ruolan felt Xian Zihao's grip on her hand becoming slightly stronger. He encouraged her. Jiang Ruolan smiled indifferently and fixed Zhou Shufen with her gaze.

She smiled, and so did Zhou Shufen.

Zhou Shufen then glanced at their interlocked hands at the same time, but there was no change in her eyes. Her gaze slowly moved upwards, gently and silently landing on Xian Zihao's face.

”That's right, Zihao. Back then, I was too preoccupied with my own thoughts. All of you ..Ai..” Senior Zhou let out a low sigh. As there were too many people present, it was inconvenient for him to talk more. He turned around and went over to Old Man's side to chat.

The moment Zhou Shufen's gaze fell on Xian Zihao''s face, his eyes became slightly cold. He looked at Zhou Shufen and in the end, he ignored what she was saying about ”past events” and tightly pursed his lips.

Zhou Shufen looked at him calmly, politely and indifferently, just like when she was at the door of the Xian Group that day.

This kind of courtesy, this kind of savage smile from Zhou Shufen, this kind of careless yet faintly playful attitude, was completely ignored by Xian Zihao from the beginning to the end.

However, Jiang Ruolan felt chilliness spreading from the bottom of her feet. She remembered that Qin Gengxin had mentioned the reason for Xian Zihao's return was because of a woman, but he never mentioned the woman's name. She also remembered that Xian Guiying had once said that Zhou Shufen was a taboo in Xian Zihao's world, that's why she warned her not to casually mention the name to him.

Jiang Ruolan thought that Xian Zihao would be moved when he saw Zhou Shufen, but that day, he stopped by her side and held her hand, telling Zhou Shufen that she was his wife.

Although Xian Zihao was calm and self-controlled, Jiang Ruolan still could feel Zhou Shufen's appearance was within his expectation.

Why did she say that? It was because when they passed the plaza that morning and when Xian Zihao saw the figure standing under the flagpole, he already knew that it was Zhou Shufen. Still, his composure and serenity were different from what Jiang Ruolan had imagined.

When she thought about what had happened before, although Xian Zihao was sufficiently calm, it did not mean that Zhou Shufen's appearance did not have any influence on him.

On the contrary, Xian Zihao was someone who knew how to restrain his emotions. Although he drew an estrangement symbol between him and Zhou Shufen, it also proved that he had deliberately avoided her.

The reason why Xian Zihao purposely avoided and distanced himself from Zhou Shufen was that he knew that Jiang Ruolan cared about it and could not say anything about her bitterness.

If he really forgot Zhou Shufen, there was no need for him to evade. Jiang Ruolan lowered her eyes, trying to hide her emotion.

At the same time, Senior Zhou had already walked to Old Man Xian's side with a smile on his face. It was unknown what he was talking about, but Cui Liuxian's gaze was darting back and forth between Zhou Shufe and Jiang Ruolan, it was as if there was some hidden ray of light flashing in the depths of her eyes.

Even though today was a welcoming feast held in the name of Old Man Xian, some of his old comrades and business elites, but the main goal was to celebrate the return of Zhou Yang, who hadn't returned for more than twenty years, and most of the people who came today were elders over sixty years old.

Xian Zihao was deliberately low key, so the center today wasn't him. Jiang Ruolan stood beside him, and it was rare for her to be quiet.

When Senior Zhou called Zhou Shufen over to greet a few seniors that she had never seen before, she turned around and left the spot without any hesitation.

Zhou Shufen was too confident in her way of doing things. Was it because she believed that Xian Zihao's heart was with her, or because she believed that Jiang Ruolan was not worth mentioning?

Suddenly, there was a slight pain in her hand. It was Xian Zihao who had suddenly squeezed her hand. Jiang Ruolan subconsciously looked at him and saw that he was smiling gently at her.
