Chapter 322 - Jiang Bingqing’s Fate II (1/2)

”Zhan Lian, how do you usually teach Bingqing? How can you let her be friends with scum like Wei Donghai?! I heard he was one of the hoodlums in G City. It was because of your overindulge, she was like this. Just like eight years ago, how old was Ruolan at that time? She was only seventeen years old and how could you just watch a seventeen year old girl being taken away by those people? In any case, Ruolan was also Guanyu's daughter!”

Zhan An's dissatisfied words suddenly made Jiang Ruolan feel chill on her back.

Eight years ago... The incident when she was seventeen. Even though it was a long time ago, what had happened at that time was still fresh in her mind.

Jiang Ruolan sat stiffly on the couch. Old Man Xian, who was next to her, suddenly clapped her hands when he felt her uneasiness. ”Spoiled girl, don't be afraid. Grandpa is here.”

Jiang Ruolan looked at him. From his gaze, she could tell that Old Man Xian already knew what happened to her that year.

Seeing the comfort in the Old Man's eyes, Jiang Ruolan's heart immediately became warm as she smiled and nodded, ”Thank you, grandpa.”

Old Man Xian smiled contentedly. His eyes filled with love and heartache. ”You, spoiled girl, no wonder you are usually so carefree. It turns out that all the storms in life have been experienced by you since you were young. In the future, the Xian Family will be your backer. What you didn't have when you were young, grandpa will definitely tell Zihao to compensate you.”

Jiang Ruolan shook her head. She was so touched to the point that she wanted to cry. She had to endure it. She can't shed any tears in front of these people from the Jiang Family.

At this moment, Jiang Guanyu finally spoke up helplessly. ”I was very busy with what happened that year and completely unaware of what happened to Ruolan. When I found out that she was in critical danger, she was already in her last breath.”

”Ruolan, if dad knew what had happened to you, I would not let the bastard off! But I really did not know, you were unconscious at that time.”

”After you woke up, you did not say a word. After that, you suddenly ran away from home. You disappeared for seven years. I …” Jiang Guanyu looked at Jiang Ruolan with a pained expression, as if he had only just learned the truth. ”I'm sorry, child. Dad didn't expect Bingqing to be so immature at that time.”

”Yeah, Bingqing was too young at the time. She was one year younger than Ruolan. At that time, she was only sixteen years old and was still in the rebellious phase. As parents, we didn't care about her and didn't know what kind of person she knew outside.” Zhan Lian explained in a soft voice.

”You don't know?” Jiang Ruolan asked sarcastically with a smile. ”Since you don't know, then why did you throw me, who had a fever with a temperature of 39 degrees to the front yard of the Jiang Family on the second day I was rescued?”

”Why did you let me, who was wearing a single thin garment, be frozen in the snow for nearly two days? So how can you not know? And why would you do that? That's because you want to make a false impression of my unfortunate death, to cover up the big mistake your daughter has made!”

Zhan Lian frowned and immediately explained. ”You are wrong. Ruolan, you weren't in a good condition at that time and weren't suitable to receive an injection. I was also confused at the time and thought if I used an ice bag to cool the temperature, it was no different than using snow. So for that reason, I let you be exposed to the snow at that time. I did all this to cool your body temperature. It's just that at that time, Ruolan was too willful. She just laid in the snow and didn't move, making people think that her stepmother had mistreated her.”

As if she knew that Jiang Ruolan never let this matter go and knew that her chances were low, Zhan Lian smiled and kindly said, ”Ruolan, at that time, when you were in the Jiang Family, you often called me Aunt Lian. I treated you and Yijun as if you were both my own children. Even though you mysteriously escaped from home when you were seventeen, you have to remember, you had stayed in Jiang Residence since you were four.”

”If I really want to do anything to you, why have I waited until you were seventeen years old and an adult before hurting you? Your dad and I are here to apologize to you for the harm Bingqing brought to you due to her ignorance.”
