Chapter 244 - Old Man Xian’s Punishment I (1/2)

”Tell Mrs. Xian, I will slowly reciprocate what had happened twenty years ago.”

Jiang Ruolan was shocked. She could only stare at Jiang Yijun's back as he opened his car door. She looked in the direction where the car drove off, with her heart beating like a drum.

'Tell Mrs. Xian, I will slowly reciprocate what had happened twenty years ago.'

What did Jiang Yijun mean by that?

Jiang Ruolan turned around and saw Zhan An's eyes looking at Jiang Yijun's fading car. She looked like she was thinking about something.

”Mom.” Jiang Ruolan called out her name.

Zhan An retracted her gaze and smiled at her. ”Are you cold?”

Without waiting for Jiang Ruolan's replied, Zhan An lifted her collar and smoothed it. ”Child, you have been alone for many years. You are actually just a little girl back then but you can raise your brother well.”

Jiang Ruolan did not know if there was a hidden meaning behind Zhan An's words, she couldn't say anything recklessly. She just pursed her lip and said, ”Mom, it's not easy for every woman. Whether it's for my brother or my own child, I will fight for the people I love until my last breath.”

Zhan An nodded and patted her hand. Many things cannot be proved by words alone, but also by deeds. ”Good child, to have such a state of mind is enough to prove that you are more sensible than many others.”

Jiang Ruolan only smiled.

Actually, she wasn't very sensible. She was just used to understanding.

In this world, if one were too demanding and did not have a magnanimous heart to understand everything, then the one who would suffer the most would be herself. In reality, this was only her protection.

Precisely at 7 pm, as Zhan An said earlier, the Xian Family's driver came to Greenville Residence to pick up Xian Zihao and Jiang Ruolan to Xian Residence.

As soon as they got there, Zhan An was already waiting for them at the door and quickly took Jiang Ruolan's hand, bringing her into the house. Xian Zihao just smiled, following them both from behind.

”Our Ruolan is a lucky star to our Xian Family. She often encounters troubles, but she's still carrying the great-grandson that you've been waiting for all this time.” Zhan An's voice contained a sense of happiness.

The moment Jiang Ruolan entered the door, she saw Old Man Xian, who was wearing a rare formal attire and was full of spirit, waiting for her.

”Grandfather.” Jiang Ruolan had already mentally prepared herself before coming here, so she smiled daintily at him. Old Man Xian looked away.

Xian Zihao smiled as he gently pushed Jiang Ruolan towards the Old Man. At the same time, he said softly in a voice that only she could hear, ”Grandpa is really awkward with his emotion. He might not be very happy right now but it doesn't mean that he will hurt you. Go, don't be afraid.”

”Huh?” Jiang Ruolan turned around and looked at Xian Zihao, then looked back at Old Man Xian's majestic appearance. She weighed him in her heart and then moved closer to him, ”Grandpa …”

”Come with me to the study.” Old Man Xian suddenly stood up and leered at her with his walking stick before turning around and heading upstairs.

Jiang Ruolan froze on the spot, unable to react for a moment.

”I'm talking to you, why is this girl like a piece of wood?” Old Man Xian suddenly turned his head and shot her another sidelong glance, as if he was in a bad mood.

”Oh …” Jiang Ruolan was a little confused. She turned around and looked at Zhan An, who was smiling, and Xian Zihao, who was gesturing for her to follow the Old Man. Jiang Ruolan had no choice but to follow the Old Man upstairs.
