Chapter 443 - Zhou Shufen’s Last Appearance I (2/2)
During this month, Senior Zhou often tried to find a way to see her, but she often turned him down because of her unwell body. Seeing the phone screen continue to flicker, she pressed the answer button and placed it next to her ear. ”Hello.”
”Hello, Ruolan, are you free today? Let's meet. There are only you and me and no grandfather.” Unexpectedly, Zhou Shufen's voice came over the phone.
Half a month ago, the day Xiaoyi was seriously ill, the Zhou Family received a notification from a reputable brain hospital in the United States saying that they had found a cure to stabilize her condition. At that time, Zhou Shufen had called Xian Zihao before she brought Xiaoyi back to the United States.
No matter what role Zhou Shufen had played between her (Jiang Ruolan) and Xian Zihao's relationship, Xiaoyi was just an innocent and cute child. Jiang Ruolan was glad that she survived.
It was just that she didn't expect Zhou Shufen to return from America in half a month.
Judging from Zhou Shufen's tone, she seemed to have relaxed a lot. She was no longer weak and stressed as she was. According to time, Xiaoyi should have escaped from danger. Her operation in the United States was a success, otherwise, Zhou Shufen wouldn't have returned so quickly.
Jiang Ruolan looked at the time and then rejected it. ”Recently, my stomach has been getting bigger and heavier. Zihao will walk with me every day when he comes back from work. I'm not in a good mood. Sorry, Miss Zhou, I can't see you.”
”Ruolan, I just want to talk to you. You should know that I will never hurt you. From beginning to end, I never tried to hurt you, whether because you are Zihao's wife or my grandfather's granddaughter. I just want to talk to you.”
Jiang Ruolan sighed. ”Alright then, what time? Where shall we meet?”
After Zhou Shufen told her the location and time, she hung up the phone.
”Sis Jiang, do you have an appointment today? Aren't you going to see the wedding dress?” Xiong Ruogang asked.
Jiang Ruolan gave a soft smile and gently pinched her ear. ”You're always curious about these. Aren't you so busy, so how can you go out and accompany me for a maternity check-up? Why don't you come home early and rest? I won't see the wedding dress today.”
”Sure, then I'll accompany you tomorrow to see it. After all, President Xian personally told me to do it. I don't dare to disobey ~” Xiong Ruogang smiled.
Jiang Ruolan merely smiled and didn't say anything else.
Seeing Zhou Shufen, for Jiang Ruolan, it was a complicated thing. Zhou Shufen was a woman with higher self-confidence. When faced with her husband's old love, her heart will still be tied a little. But seeing her (Zhou Shufen) was a necessary process for Jiang Ruolan.
Zhou Shufen had already waited for a long time at the Beidou Avenue Tea House. When Jiang Ruolan sat down, Zhou Shufen immediately looked at her and said, ”Sorry, I forgot that you're pregnant. Since you can't drink tea, why don't we change somewhere else?”
”No need, I'll just drink water.” Jiang Ruolan called the waiter and ordered a glass of warm water.
Zhou Shufen drank two sips of tea before she said, ”My daughter's life is temporarily saved. The doctor says that she needs to undergo another operation before October. If the operation before the age of ten can be done smoothly, Xiaoyi will be able to live well like any other children.”
”Congratulations.” Jiang Ruolan smiled sincerely. At the same time, she placed her hand on her stomach.
Seeing Jiang Ruolan's subconscious actions, Zhou Shufen pursed her lips and said, ”Jiang Ruolan, I admit it for so long, I look down on you. I thought for years I was with him, and all the good he had done for me made me not believe that he has already transferred his love to another woman. This time, after suffering from watching Xiaoyi's illness and a sudden miracle, I finally saw many things.”
