My Little Sweet Wife

Chapter 321 - Jiang Bingqing’s Fate I

"You!" Cui Liuxian glared at her and was about to slap her.

Jiang Ruolan looked at her coldly. Last time, Cui Liuxian had almost threatened her with a fruit knife and it was because she had been caught off guard and the knife was already pressed against her stomach, she let Cui Liuxian threaten her without a hitch.

Even after so many years, Jiang Ruolan could still climb up to the fifth floor with two water potions in her hands. Cui Liuxian's slender arms and slender legs were nothing to her.

Just as Cui Liuxian's hand was about to land on her face, Jiang Ruolan immediately dodged to the side and at the same time, she grabbed her arm with so much force.

Cui Liuxian froze on the spot and a five-fingered mark could be seen on her cheek. Jiang Ruolan flung her arm away harshly.

Right now, Cui Liuxian was looking like she had been bullied. She stood there glaring at her, "Jiang Ruolan!"

"You deserved that slapped." Jiang Ruolan stood up from the bed and slapped Cui Liuxian's face again. "This slap is a retribution for my kidnapping caused by you and Jiang Bingqing! You should know that my slap is already light!"

Cui Liuxian's mouth quivered as she was completely overwhelmed by Jiang Ruolan's aura. As she stood up, she couldn't help but take a step back with a trace of cowardice in her eyes.

"Cui Liuxian, I can tell you this clearly. After all this time, I have been tolerating and giving in to you not because I'm afraid of you, nor am I afraid of grandpa, but because I pity you. I pity you, a little girl who has no relatives, living under someone else's roof. Every day, you are trying to find ways to get everyone's love, to squeeze Guiying away, including the current me. Don't take my tolerance for you as your capital to continue to be shameless! Get out!"

Cui Liuxian took a deep breath and gritted her teeth as she looked at her. She won't admit that Jiang Ruolan's words had stabbed her heart. Her shoulders trembled as hatred filled her eyes.

Jiang Ruolan, on the other hand, no longer looked at Cui Liuxian. She had said what she wanted to say. She had never intended to tolerate any slanders and give way out to her. If Cui Liuxian was really that brainless and wanted to cause trouble again, then she, Jiang Ruolan, didn't mind going all out.

At this moment, someone lightly knocked on the door. Nanny Cheng walked over and saw that the door was open. She stood in front of the door and knocked while saying, "Young Madam, the Old Master wanted to see you."

After Nanny Cheng said this, she noticed that Cui Liuxian was actually here. She couldn't help but be startled. "Miss Liuxian, why are you here as well?"

Cui Liuxian's eyes immediately reddened as she turned around and ran to the door. With a wronged expression, she threw herself into Nanny Cheng's arms. "Nanny Cheng!"

"What's wrong with your face?"

"Nanny Cheng. You have seen me raised before your own eyes. Now, in this Xian Family, I don't even have the status of a servant. Some people can hit me at will just because they don't want to hear the truth. She also took advantage of the fact that she carried grandpa's precious grandson to bully me. I don't dare to retaliate."

Cui Liuxian tearfully complained of her grievance.

Nanny Cheng was stunned. She subconsciously patted Cui Liuxian's shoulder to coax her, then looked at the calm expression on Jiang Ruolan's face as she turned around. She had already made up her mind.

Nanny Cheng knew what Cui Liuxian was like, and she could almost see what kind of personality Jiang Ruolan had. Nanny Cheng secretly gave Jiang Ruolan a comforting look, but at the same time, she was patting Cui Liuxian on the side. It was obvious that she wanted to reduce the fuss and avoid the trouble.

Jiang Ruolan nodded to Nanny Cheng as she was also aware of the situation. Since it was the first of the first month, she couldn't be bothered to cause too much trouble. She asked, "Grandpa called me?"

"Right, look at my memory, this disturbance almost made me forget it. The Jiang Family suddenly visited and their arrival this time was a bit strange. Normally, the Jiang Family would come to pay their respects after the fifth day of the new year, but now, they would suddenly rush over on the first day of the new year. And this time, Miss Bingqing didn't come along with them." Nanny Cheng muttered to herself.

When Jiang Ruolan heard that it was Jiang Guanyu and the rest who had come, she quickly wanted to refuse and didn't want to see them. However, the Old Man should have known that her relationship with the Jiang Family was cold, so he would not call her so suddenly.

Jiang Ruolan changed her clothes and tied her hair back. Only then did she notice the faint pink mark on her neck. She suddenly remembered Xian Zihao's smiling and mischievous expression while staring at her neck in the morning.

She stopped for a moment, and her face turned red.

Jiang Ruolan quickly went to find a high-necked goose-yellow sweater to put on and as she was pregnant, she only wore a pair of loose and comfortable jeans.

It wasn't until she went downstairs that she realized that most of the politicians who came to visit during the day had left.

When she walked into the living room, other than the Xian Family, there was only Jiang Guanyu and Zhan Lian.

Jiang Guanyu, who was initially sitting on the couch, suddenly stood up and looked towards her.

Jiang Ruolan calmly glanced at him. There was no expression on her face.

Something was a bit amiss on Jiang Guanyu's expression.

"Ruolan, come here." Although Old Man Xian was smiling right now, Jiang Ruolan could see that his eyes were brimming with ingenuity and experience. When he called out her name, the level of intimacy can all be seen by the people of the Jiang Family.

Seeing that Old Man Xian was so concerned about Jiang Ruolan, the faint smile on Zhan Lian's face immediately became compulsive.

"Ruolan, come sit here." Zhan An waved back and pulled Jiang Ruolan to sit next to her.

"Mom, grandpa." Before sitting down, Jiang Ruolan greeted everyone. When she saw Xian Jian was also there, she directly called out, "Dad."

Of course, this "dad" had nothing to do with Jiang Guanyu. When she sat down, she looked at Jiang Guanyu, who sat down slowly in embarrassment. Her eyes were very calm as if she was just looking at someone that had nothing to do with her.

"Alright, now that Ruolan is here, you guys can talk to her directly. However, I'm afraid you would not be able to meet with Zihao for the time being because he is having a temporary meeting this afternoon. However, since this matter is related to Ruolan, it is not a problem for you to talk to her." Old Man Xian said calmly with bright eyes.

"This ..." Jiang Guanyu forced a smile. He looked at Jiang Ruolan and seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't. He could only sigh.

Zhan Lian was Zhan An's sister and the relationship between the Jiang and Xian Families had been sustained for so many years due to the relationship between these two sisters.

Zhan Lian was much more confident than Jiang Guanyu.

After a while, Zhan Lian smiled and turned to look at Zhan An. "Sis, is Zihao currently in Xian Group? How long will he be busy today? If it's not trouble, Old Jiang and I will be waiting for him here."

Zhan An shook her head. "I'm not too sure. I don't think he'll be able to see you all for the time being."

Zhan Lian immediately frowned. She seemed dissatisfied with her sister's attitude, which did not help her at all. However, she did not dare to say anything. Zhan Lian just sat there and glanced at Jiang Ruolan.

"The most important person is Ruolan.?Her decision is the same as Zihao's decision." The Old Man crossed his hands on his cane and said half-jokingly. "This matter still depends on whether Ruolan is willing to let the past grudge go. If she doesn't want to let it go, then Zihao will definitely seek justice for his wife and children."

Jiang Ruolan can tell there's something wrong with Old Man Xian's words. Could it be that Jiang Guanyu and Zhan Lian's sudden arrival at the Xian Residence was related to Jiang Bingqing?
