Chapter 393 - A Confrontation With The Jiang Family II (1/2)
Sure enough, Jiang Guanyu's face remained stiff. Zhan Lian frowned, and after long hesitation, she forced a smile and said, ”Could it be that Senior Zhou is joking? Maybe Zhou Qingling has lied to you. It's impossible that she is your daughter.”
Senior Zhou immediately glanced at Zhan Lian with a cold expression. ”Lying?”
Seeing Senior Zhou's expression showed that he had gotten a general idea of what happened that year, Zhan Lian shut her mouth and quietly tugged on Jiang Guanyu's sleeve, hinting him to say something.
Jiang Guanyu glanced at Senior Zhou, then Jiang Ruolan. ”How does Senior Zhou know Ruolan is your granddaughter? However, if that is the case, it seems that I will have to change my mind about you, Senior Zhou!”
”Eh? Change what? I've already checked Ruolan's DNA, and I've also got Xiaoling's picture. She looks really similar to Xiaoling when she (Zhou Qingling) was young. How can you, as her father can't tell?” Senior Zhou laughed coldly. ”As for changing her surname, I don't think it's worth it. After all, my daughter had the misfortune due to having a relationship with you, Jiang Guanyu! Even if you change your mind, I am afraid that your wife will not do the same!”
Jiang Guanyu's face was immediately tense as he turned to look at Zhan Lian, who had a straight face and remained silent.
The current situation clearly offended Senior Zhou. At first, they wanted to ask his help regarding Jiang Bingqing's problem, but now, they both couldn't even protect themselves.
Although Zhan Lian didn't say anything, she would look at Jiang Ruolan from time to time. As if she didn't expect Zhou Qingling was Senior Zhou's daughter.
Jiang Ruolan suddenly looked up. ”What expression did Auntie Lian have? Did you secretly hate yourself for not killing me back then and letting Senior Zhou find his granddaughter? You were afraid your actions would be exposed, so that's why you can't raise your head now or are you blaming my mom for not bringing me down when she jumped?”
At the same time, Senior Zhou was drinking something, but hearing Jiang Ruolan's words, the cup in his hand was slammed on the table. Senior Zhou looked at Zhan Lian indifferently, ”It seemed that the past few years Ruolan lived in the Jiang Family, her life was never very good.”
Zhan Lian's hand that was holding the cup stiffened. She looked at Senior Zhou in surprise, then smiled. ”What are you talking about? Senior Zhou, it was like what I said before, Ruolan was young back then, so she didn't understand. She was too naughty, and as her elder, I had to hit her a few times. It was just a lesson. If I really didn't hit her hard, Ruolan probably wouldn't be like she is now. After all, I'm not her biological mother, so she's against me.”
”Is that so? Then why was Jiang Bingqing locked up? How did Wei Donghai, an unknown nobody, offend the Xian Family until it comes to the point where he was sentenced with the death penalty?” Senior Zhou's eyes still had a hint of a smile, but it was a bit cold.
”This …” Zhan Lian wasn't sure how much Senior Zhou knew. Suddenly, she didn't know how to explain, and her eyes darkened.
At this moment, Jiang Guanyu opened his mouth, ”Zhan Lian is only a woman after all. If Senior Zhou wants to blame someone, just blame it on me. Regarding Qingling, I …”
”Ah!” Suddenly, the cup in Zhan Lian's hand fell. The hot water in the cup splashed onto the back of her hand, interrupting Jiang Guanyu's words.
