Chapter 437 - The Past I (1/2)
They didn't stay too long on the beach because Xian Zihao got a call from Xian Group. He first sent Jiang Ruolan to the sanatorium, then went to the office.
After arranging to pick her up later, Jiang Ruolan decided to rest in the sanatorium. Since she had nothing better to do, she decided to take a walk. When she arrived in front of the ward and saw the two familiar doctors, she walked over and asked where Jia Zhenzhen was.
When Jiang Ruolan found Jia Zhenzhen, she was sitting in a wheelchair, with two nurses accompanying her. Jia Zhenzhen sat alone in the backyard next to the fish pond, staring at the small fish.
Jiang Ruolan walked over to her and greeted the two nurses. She did not step forward until the nurses left.
She carefully sat down on the marble bench and looked at the quiet Jia Zhenzhen and said, ”Auntie Jia, the nurses are gone.”
Jia Zhenzhen slowly turned her head and looked at her (Jiang Ruolan) for a long time, then stared at her big stomach, ”I heard something happened to you at Xian Residence. I was recently under the observation of doctors and staff here, so I can't go out to see you.”
Jiang Ruolan just smiled and stared at her.
”What's wrong?” Seeing how Jiang Ruolan looked at her, Jia Zhenzhen's gaze became gentle. ”Child, there seems to be something on your mind.”
”I don't think there are as many things on my mind as you do, Auntie Jia.” Jiang Ruolan replied with a straight face.
Jia Zhenzhen's expression froze for a moment before she looked at her hesitantly. ”Do you already know what happened?”
”I just want to know, why did my mother commit suicide so many years ago? I can't figure out the reason. For a man like Jiang Guanyu who had abandoned his family, as an open-minded woman living in the United States, how can she choose the path to kill herself?” Jiang Ruolan's gaze didn't shift away from Jia Zhenzhen's face as she said this. ”Auntie Jia, I have met an old man with the surname Huang. I wonder if you have ever heard of this person.”
Jia Zhenzhen's face was initially calm, but when she heard 'Uncle Huang' name, she was stunned. Her eyes began to water, and after about ten seconds, she recovered from her shock and looked at Jiang Ruolan again.
”That time in G City, at my mother's grave, the words you said ...” Jiang Ruolan paused and hesitated for a moment before saying, ”You want to remind me of something, right? But you don't seem to want to talk about it after that.”
Jia Zhenzhen looked at her for a moment and nodded her head. ”I never want to ruin the warm happiness that you have, child. Actually, I really hope your happiness is not fake and that the person you marry is not Xian Zihao, but someone else. As long as it's not someone from the Xian Family, I won't object.”
Jiang Ruolan narrowed her eyes, ”Does what had happened to my mother related to the Xian Family?”
”Looks like you really know something.” Jia Zhenzhen sighed softly and looked at the fish pond in front of her as she continued, ”Since you have taken the initiative to ask me about this, would you mind hearing the long story?”
Jiang Ruolan looked at the time and said faintly. ”Can you finish telling it in two hours? Zihao will come to pick me up later. He just went to Xian Group.”
”For you to suddenly come to find me, he must have sensed something. What is rare is that he doesn't seem to intentionally hide it from you. He doesn't intentionally deceive you, he just refuses to part with you. He really treated you very well, but unfortunately ...”
