Chapter 301 - You Deserved Those Slaps III (1/2)

From the expression on Old Man Xian's face when he saw Zhou Shufen just now, he looked quite afraid of her appearance. Perhaps it was due to an incident of Xiaoyi called Xian Zihao 'daddy' and why he didn't attend the wedding ceremony. Xian Zihao must have already told his reason; otherwise, Old Man Xian definitely wouldn't have looked at Zhou Shufen with an estranged smile on his face.

Xiaoyi was pitiful, but what was Zhou Shufen's motive for doing this? Old Man Xian probably saw it very clearly too.

Jiang Ruolan went straight to find Xian Zihao. When she arrived on the sixth floor, she realized that the Old Man's room was on the sixth floor too, because Chaoxiang was lying at the door, holding Xian Zihao's pants in its mouth as it moaned pitifully.

'Good heavens, Old Man, you're really a weirdo. You even bring this dog along when you're out of the house!'

It seemed like this little guy was really closed with the Old Man. It would be able to hitch a ride to Beijing. ”How is Old Bai?” Jiang Ruolan immediately asked as she walked closer.

Xian Zihao closed the door and pulled her into his embrace. ”He's already gone to sleep. After all, he's already old and has high blood pressure. Old Bai only has this chance to come to Beijing, but he can't keep standing around and socializing for a long time.”

As he spoke, he caressed her face. ”Why do you look so pale?”

”Maybe because I smiled for too long, so my face became stiff? Who would have thought that grandpa had so many friends? He keeps smiling every time he sees one!”

It was rare for Jiang Ruolan to act like a spoiled child. Since there's no one in the corridor, she took this advantage to lean into Xian Zihao's arms and transferred her weight to him.

Xian Zihao sighed, ”Then after the banquet ended, I will take you home. But first, go rest. Our room is there.”

”It's alright. Oh, by the way, grandpa just called you from the lobby.”

Jiang Ruolan coquettishly wrapped her hands around Xian Zihao's shoulder, and when she saw the gentleness in his eyes, she grinned.

”I'll go take a look.” Xian Zihao patted her shoulder and glanced at her pale face again. Then, he took out their room card and opened the door to a room not far away. ”Go rest. I'll come to pick you up once the banquet ends.”

Jiang Ruolan nodded. She was indeed tired, so it was good to find a room to lie down for a while.

It wasn't until Xian Zihao took the elevator down that Jiang Ruolan glanced at Chaoxiang, who was lying in front of the Old Man's door.

Jiang Ruolan narrowed her eyes and walked over. She bent down and patted its head. ”Hey, buddy, did you miss me?”

Chaoxiang shook its tail at her. Jiang Ruolan smiled and squatted in front of it, trying to continue making this little brat, who had already submitted to her, into her best friend.

She touched its head and said with a gentle and ingratiating voice. ”Ah Xiang, you are really lucky for having Old Man Xian as your master. Only someone like the Old Man would have the courage to bring you out to see the world.”

Jiang Ruolan thought that it wouldn't understand, but who knew that it would suddenly explode and shout at her. ”Woof! Woof! Grrr! Woof!”

All right …

”Ah Xiang, let's have the Old Man take you out into the wilderness tonight. Let's light a bonfire and roast the meat.”

Chaoxiang wagged its tail at her cheerfully.

Jiang Ruolan teased Chaoxiang for a while. She then turned around and entered the room. She originally wanted to lie down and rest, but when she entered the room, she stopped.

Just now, there seemed to be a figure there.

Jiang Ruolan took a step back from the door and looked outside. Sure enough, she saw a slightly well-dressed, half-bald man in his fifties standing by the elevator. He was looking left and right as if he was checking if there was anyone around.

Jiang Ruolan narrowed her eyes and looked at the man. Thinking that it had nothing to do with her, she started to walk back in.

”Miss Jiang!” The man suddenly called her.

Jiang Ruolan paused for a moment and looked back, only to see the man striding towards her in quick steps. She didn't know this man, so she was wary of him. She glanced at the camera in the corridor, then looked at the alarm before her, thinking that if this man acted maliciously, she would definitely call for help.
