Chapter 307 - Can You Ask Yijun To Come Back To The Xian Family? (1/2)
Not long after that, Dr Li arrived. He checked Jiang Ruolan's body first to make sure that she was healthy and that her vital energy was much more stable than before. Once Dr Li said Jiang Ruolan's condition had improved, only then did Zhan An and Old Man Xian feel at ease.
However, Dr Li advised them that it would be best to take another month's worth of Chinese medicine. After all, Western medicine was not allowed to be used carelessly during pregnancy. Although Chinese medicine took quite a while to be effective, it was still very beneficial to both mother and child.
Thus, Zhan An quickly ordered someone to bring Sister Yanmei to the Xian Residence.
The Old Man liked to play chess whenever he was bored. That night, when Jiang Ruolan went downstairs, she saw the Old Man playing chess by himself, so she walked over with a smile. ”Grandpa, let me play with you.”
”Spoiled girl, you know how to play chess?” Old Man Xian looked at her with a smile, but he didn't refuse. He gestured for her to sit down. ”Come, come. Sit down.”
”I only know the basics. Compared to a veteran like you, grandpa, I'd probably lose within a few steps.” Jiang Ruolan set down the chess in front of her, ”It's better for two people to play chess than to play chess alone. I'll help you relieve your boredom.”
”Alright, alright. Come and let this Old Man test your skills.”
When Jiang Ruolan saw that Hong Qi was on her side, she took a step forward. The Old Man immediately laughed. ”You, spoiled girl, from the moment you showed up, you already wanted to eat this Old Man's pawn. Do you think I'm that easy to provoke?”
”Grandfather, I only know how to play like this. I don't know much about other things, but this is something that I vaguely remember from when I was three or four years old. It was something my mother taught me.”
The Old Man stopped moving his chess pieces and suddenly looked at her. He asked sternly, ”Spoiled girl, this Old Man has something to ask you. You need to speak the truth.”
”Grandpa wants to ask about Yijun?”
”Smart! As expected, talking to you is not tiring!”
Old Man Xian looked at her and said in a low voice, ”I would never have thought that my grandson, who has been missing for more than twenty years, would actually grow up beside you. The matter regarding my grandson is a huge taboo in our Xian Family, and no one has said anything about it in the past twenty years. However, since Yijun is very close to you, I might as well tell you about it.”
Jiang Ruolan poured a cup of tea for the Old Man and placed it in front of him. She didn't say much and just listened quietly. Old Man Xian seemed to have more trust in her as he smiled and nodded at her, ”Twenty years ago, Jian had an affair with a woman and had a child outside. Zihao was only five years old at the time, and Guiying was only three years old. When I found out about it, I ended Jian's contact with that woman.”
