Chapter 240 - Untitled (1/2)
Jiang Ruolan didn't know what to say when Xian Zihao mentioned Jiang Bingqing. After all, she was still his cousin, Zhan An's niece, Jiang Guanyu's daughter, and her half-sister.
However, from Xian Zihao's tone, it seemed that he did not intend to let Jiang Bingqing continue relying on her family's influence to defy the law. Jiang Ruolan could only remain silent regarding Xian Zihao's actions against Jiang Bingqing.
”Why was Qin Gengxin with you yesterday?” she asked suddenly.
”He was in the hospital when I learned you'd been kidnapped.”
”No wonder, but how did you find out so quickly that I was kidnapped?” Jiang Ruolan looked at him with puzzlement.
”Do you have a hundred thousand questions in your head?” Xian Zihao didn't answer her question. Instead, he continued giving her the fish meat she liked. ”Eat.”
Jiang Ruolan pouted and she looked like a kid who had been reprimanded by an adult during dinner. Embarrassed, she lowered her head to eat the food in her bowl.
As soon as she put a piece of fish into her mouth, she felt her stomach churn due to the strong fishy smell. Jiang Ruolan did not know since when her senses were very sensitive, and even though this fish meat didn't have much of a fishy smell, she still felt like vomiting.
Jiang Ruolan immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth, and under Xian Zihao's surprised gaze, she rushed into the bathroom and threw up.
”What's wrong?” Xian Zihao walked over and patted her back. ”Why are you throwing up like this?”
Then, there was the sound of someone knocking on the door. Xian Zihao paused for a moment, and with one hand holding a towel, he placed it beside Jiang Ruolan.
Jiang Ruolan continued to throw up as she shook her head at him, ”I'm fine. You go and open the door.”
Xian Zihao frowned. He left the bathroom and walked towards the door while casually picking up the phone at the tea table. He wanted to call a family doctor and at the same time, he went to the door and opened it.
”Dad?”
Jiang Ruolan retched for a while but still didn't spit anything out. She quickly put her hand under the water pipe and rinsed her mouth. Then she walked out.
”Dad.” Jiang Ruolan was slightly shocked when she saw Xian Jian. However, when she looked into Xian Jian's cold eyes, she felt a trace of disgust towards her.
Jiang Ruolan immediately understood the reason why Xian Jian suddenly appeared here today.
Although no one in the media dared to divulge what happened yesterday, it was impossible for the Xian Family not to know about it.
”You're still not going to the hospital even though you were injured like this! Do you want to die? Do you really think you were raised under your grandfather's spear?” Xian Jian frowned while scolding Xian Zihao.
”Let's talk outside.” Xian Zihao remained expressionless as he walked out the door.
Xian Jian snorted coldly and turned around to follow him out. Jiang Ruolan quickly walked over, only to see Xian Zihao closing the door. He gave her a look that told her not to worry.
Jiang Ruolan was alert to the fact that she really gave Xian Zihao a lot of trouble. She walked to the door to eavesdrop but found that they had walked far away. Only Xian Jian's angry voice could be heard, but she couldn't hear Xian Zihao's voice clearly.
Just as she turned to clean the dishes and boxes on the table, Xian Jian suddenly shouted from outside.” A woman like Jiang Ruolan will make you lose your reputation sooner or later! This time she was kidnapped and this thing almost exploded up. Will there be some dirty pictures to be released next time?”
Jiang Ruolan's feet stiffened, and her grip on the lunchbox gradually tightened. In her other hand, a chopstick suddenly fell, letting out a low and crisp sound as it landed on the floor.
