Chapter 383 - Senior Zhou’s Arrival II (1/2)
If Senior Zhou knew about what happened that year, would there be some kind of trouble again? Her life had finally calmed down and she did not want to cause any more trouble, but her mother's grievances and the pain that she had suffered in the Jiang Family, should she just let it go like this?
Xian Zihao immediately looked at Jiang Ruolan. He had a gentle and loving smile on his face. Jiang Ruolan's conflicting heart immediately calm because of his comforting and silent encouragement.
Although she did not want to disturb the peace in her life, but because someone was willing to take revenge on her, she had to be fair to her mother. Senior Zhou owes a lot to Zhou Qingling for committing crimes several decades ago.
Just as Jiang Ruolan was about to ask Senior Zhou to lend her a hand, Jiang Yijun opened his mouth and said, ”Zhou Qingling died 20 years ago. Wouldn't it be too late for Senior Zhou to atone for your mistakes now?”
His words caused Senior Zhou's face to tremble. He stood up abruptly and looked at Jiang Yijun.
Jiang Ruolan's words were almost swallowed back in her throat.
While she was still hesitating on whether she should say it or not, Jiang Yijun made a rare decision for her.
She turned her head and looked at him, but Jiang Yijun simply looked at Senior Zhou indifferently. ”As for the cause of death, Senior Zhou should have gone to the Jiang Family to investigate, not the Xian Family. The grievances Ruolan suffered since she was young, from Jiang Guanyu to Jiang Bingqing, who knows about the trauma and loneliness that the so-called family of three brought to her childhood? Asking Ruolan these questions is equivalent to having her open her own wounds in front of you and show it to you. If Senior Zhou's heart truly loves this granddaughter of yours, why don't you give her some time and space to let her live her current life in peace! If you want to know the truth, go find the Jiang Family and see what kind of good things they did back then!”
Senior Zhou's expression was somewhat of a skeleton. He frowned and looked at Jiang Yijun quietly, as if he was considering the authenticity of his words.
Jiang Ruolan just wanted to cherish the peaceful and warm life she was living now, not wanting to be broken by anyone. But even she didn't know what had happened to her mother that year, so perhaps letting Senior Zhou investigate it himself would be twice the result with half the effort.
From Senior Zhou's expression, it was like he really didn't expect that Zhou Qingling was no longer alive. He didn't expect her to have died twenty years ago. Senior Zhou immediately turned around to look at Jiang Ruolan.
Jiang Ruolan's indifferent expression seemed to confirm it and it made Senior Zhou's expression turn solemn and terrifying instantly.
”Jiang Family?” Senior Zhou squinted his eyes and immediately smiled.
He smiled at Old Man Xian, who didn't say much all this time. ”Looks like my granddaughter's path is a little rough. I've troubled you today. Let's come out another day and have a drink.”
”Sure, sure.” Old Man Xian also stood up with a smile.
Senior Zhou nodded, his mind full of thoughts. He then looked at Jiang Ruolan, who was silent and thought for a moment. He shifted his gaze to Xian Zihao and said, ”Initially, Shufen was my favorite, but now Ruolan and Shufen are my granddaughters. They are both from the same flesh. Zihao, one of my granddaughters doesn't want to get married anymore because of you and as for Ruolan, you have to treat her well.”
Senior Zhou's sudden change was unexpected, but Jiang Ruolan still didn't say anything. It was unknown if his sudden change was a good or bad thing. She clearly didn't have any intention of getting involved with the Zhou Family.
Xian Zihao's lips curved into a faint smile, ”Ruolan is my wife, of course, I will treat her well. As for Zhou Shufen, it's just an old story. Senior Zhou should calm her down and persuade her to meet other men as soon as possible.”
Xian Zihao's voice was gentle like jade. He held Jiang Ruolan's hand the entire time, giving her the strength to face all of this.
Jiang Ruolan could feel the warmth he gave to her, so she looked up and glanced at Senior Zhou. She nodded politely. ”Take care.”
