Chapter 251 - Xian Family’s Heirloom (1/2)

Zhan An hurriedly looked at the servant. A few servants quickly helped Cui Liuxian get up to her room. Cui Liuxian did not fight, she just looked at the Old Man pitifully.

”Reflect on it. If you still did not realize your mistake, I, your grandfather, will not be able to save you!” The Old Man did not look at her but said with a cold expression.

Cui Liuxian bit her lips and lowered her head.

”Grandfather, are you alright?” Xian Guiying poured a glass of water and said, ”Come, drink some water and suppress your anger. You're already so old, why are you so angry? Isn't this scary!?”

The Old Man stroked his chest as he glared at her. ”You damned girl. Don't try to act good here.”

Xian Guiying stuck out her tongue.

”Spoiled girl, let's go to the study room.” The Old Man paused, then suddenly put his hand on Jiang Ruolan's arm, meaning for her to help him.

Jiang Ruolan was stunned for a moment. She thought she had done nothing wrong, so why should she stand like a soldier again, but since the Old Man had already asked her to support him, she did not say anything and obediently helped him up the stairs.

The Old Man didn't speak as they entered the study. Jiang Ruolan stood upright in front of the desk, staring at the Old Man's demeanor and actions.

The Old Man walked to the bookcase and took out a wooden box. Then he opened it and took out an old-fashioned Chinese pipe with emerald green jade. The item looked very high quality. The Old Man patted it with his hand gently.” Aiya, many years have passed.”

”Although the Xian Family has grown over several generations, our generation has experienced a lot of haste. We have not even been able to find the items that were originally in our clan, let alone the family heritage, but this pipe is something my grandfather left to me. It has been over a hundred years, and this is not a good thing, but it is also the closest thing this Old Man has ever had.” With that, the Old Man put the pipe back into the box and pushed the box forward. ”Although this thing isn't a treasure, I've never shown it to anyone before. Spoiled girl, whether I accept you or not, you're a smart person. I don't need to say it clearly.”

”Grandfather, since it's your personal item, how could I possibly accept it?” Jiang Ruolan understood the meaning behind the Old Man's words. Of course, seeing the Old Man's attitude towards her during the day, she knew that he had accepted her.

No matter if it was because of the child or for other reasons, it didn't matter anymore. Jiang Ruolan had never expected herself to be liked by everyone.

She quickly pushed the box back. ”I'm just pregnant, so there's no need for grandpa to be like this. I understand a lot of things. Grandpa, your heart is just like a mirror, brighter than anyone else. To me, as long as my entire family can be at peace with one another, that would be the greatest happiness. Grandpa's acknowledgement would also be the greatest reward for me.”

The Old Man sat down and looked at Jiang Ruolan's sincere expression for a moment. He then looked at the pipe in the box and suddenly said, ”This pipe holder is the Xian Family's heirloom. If I passed it down to my great-grandson, is that okay?”

Jiang Ruolan's mouth twitched as she chuckled, ”Grandfather, you can do whatever you want.”

”But I'm afraid that my future great-grandchildren will laugh at me.” The Old Man stroked his chin, feeling quite annoyed.

Jiang Ruolan just chuckled and didn't say anything but in her heart, she silently cursed. 'If your descendants knew that they had an ancestor that was currently considering this issue, they would definitely vomit blood.'

”Then it won't be passed on.” The Old Man muttered to himself, ”Indeed, I can not give it to them.” As he spoke, he put the box back on the bookshelf. He seemed reluctant to part with it.

Jiang Ruolan was unable to describe her current feelings. She had a nagging feeling that this Old Man was in a dilemma. It seemed like the Old Man lacked love. In the future, she should show more filial piety towards him.

Before going to bed, Jiang Ruolan went to retake a shower. When she came out, Xian Zihao had fallen asleep. She smiled and walked over to the bed, looking at his sleeping face before lowering her head like a prankster and biting his neck.

Xian Zihao winced in pain and his brow furrowed. Without Jiang Ruolan noticed, his hand slowly went around her waist and he immediately rolled her around onto the bed. Xian Zihao pressed down her body as he viciously said, ”How dare you bite me! You must be tired of living!”
