Chapter 253 - Senior Zhou Interrogation II (1/2)
Jiang Ruolan had lost her thought once she heard the word 'illegitimate daughter'. She raised her head and looked at the probing look in Senior Zhou's eyes. Suddenly, she remembered her mother's name.
Zhou Qingling.
There can not be so many coincidences in this world. Jiang Ruolan didn't think much of her mother's surname, but when Senior Zhou asked this question, she had no choice but to think about it. Her eyes stared at Senior Zhou's face, which was as dignified as ever.
Jiang Ruolan's appearance was very similar to her mother's. She always looked at herself in the mirror and compared herself to her mother's photo when she was young. To hear Senior Zhou asked this question directly, it was as if he was sure who her mother was.
Jiang Ruolan pondered for a moment, then chuckled. ”Senior Zhou, from your tone, you seem to know my mother?”
Seeing that she did not hide it lightly, Senior Zhou took out a small black and white photograph and pushed it in front of her. The photo looks like it belongs to a 14 or 15 year old girl, but it was a clear picture of her mother when she was a teenager.
”Is your mother her?” Senior Zhou did not beat around the bush.
Whether it was or not, Jiang Ruolan wouldn't admit it. She was still a little dazed by the old photo.
What kind of family, what kind of childhood did her mother had that caused her to fall in love with Jiang Guanyu and then commit suicide due to her emotional trauma? Was it because of a lack of love, or was it because she was too fragile?
”Miss Jiang?”
In a trace, Jiang Ruolan heard Senior Zhou call her. She came back to her senses and looked into Senior Zhou's eyes.
Jiang Ruolan let out a sigh, took the photo, and looked at it. She then smiled, ”I wonder what Senior Zhou relationship with the person in the photo is? She really does look like me.”
Senior Zhou was stunned. He didn't expect her to give such an ambiguous answer, ”The girl in this photo and I are relatives. A relative that have not met each other for a long time.” He answered politely. The word ”relatives” was emphasized and was a bit deliberate.
Jiang Ruolan did not want to get involved in the complicated past and family. Vengeance between the older generations had nothing to do with her. Whether her mother, who committed suicide or Senior Zhou has blood ties or not, it all had nothing to do with her.
What she was sure was that both of them were hypocrites. To her, those were the things she did not want to look back on.
Jiang Ruolan was about to say something when the ringtone of her phone cut her. She answered the call and heard Xiong Ruogang say she needed to go home immediately because there was an emergency in her dorm.
”I will be there immediately.” Jiang Ruolan hung up the phone and looked at Senior Zhou. ”Senior Zhou, I'm sorry. My friend was waiting for me in the parking lot. Is there something else Senior Zhou wanted to ask me? Let's be direct.”
Senior Zhou hesitated and looked at her indifferently. ”Since there's something urgent, then Miss Jiang should go. We could talk again later.” As he said that, he took back the picture. It seemed that he was quite displeased with her concealed attitude.
”Alright, I'll be leaving first.” Jiang Ruolan immediately got up from her seat.
”Miss Jiang, I heard that the wedding between you and Zihao would take place in three days. I want to remind you.” Suddenly, Senior Zhou opened his mouth indifferently.
Jiang Ruolan paused and looked at him.
”Zhou Shufen is my only granddaughter. I will unconditionally give up everything to fight for what she wants.”
Jiang Ruolan only looked at him for a moment before she left without looking back.
When she returned home that night, Xian Zihao hadn't come back yet. Sister Yanmei was boiling some Chinese medicine for her. The faint fragrance of Chinese medicine wafted around the room.
