"How come I didn't know any of this?" Jiang Guanyu turned his head and looked at Zhan Lian in disbelief, "Didn't you say that Ruolan was too mischievous when she was young? You couldn't stand her and only hit her occasionally as a lesson? No wonder every time I go home, I see this child hiding at the side or hiding in the room, not daring to come close. No wonder Bingqing's hatred for Ruolan is so deep until now! How did you become a mother? How did you educate your daughter? Didn't you say that Bingqing was bullied by Ruolan when she was young?"
Zhan Lian's face turned pale. Faced with her husband's sudden question, she didn't know how to answer it. She was alone and did not have any help. She glared fiercely at Jiang Guanyu and whispered, "Why are you still pursuing this now!? Don't you want Bingqing to come out?!"
"You …" Jiang Guanyu looked at her and gnashed his teeth. "I'll deal with you when we get home!"
Zhan Lian was embarrassed, so she could only speak with a cold face, "The hospital's proof is an exaggeration. Ruolan is alive and well, there is no disease anywhere, and her bones are developing normally, and I can see that she is also very healthy and has not suffered any injuries. Senior Zhou, why should you believe the things that are exaggerated in this medical science? Don't you know that the hospital is darker than any other place, and anyone can be sent there to be diagnosed with a serious illness."
"Enough! Come back with me!" Jiang Guanyu couldn't bear to hear her explanation. He suddenly stood up and looked at her with a stern face. "Let's go!"
"Jiang Guanyu, why are you shouting at me?" Zhan Lian suddenly stood up and threw a tantrum.
"Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Even I don't believe these explanations, do you think Senior Zhou and Zihao are fools? Didn't you see them not even saying a word and instead, watching you act like a monkey here? Follow me, immediately!"
Jiang Guanyu couldn't stay there any longer. After saying that, he turned around and quickly walked out.
"Jiang Guanyu!"
Zhan Lian cursed loudly as she chased after him, "Jiang Guanyu, you …"
Senior Zhou just sat there with his eyes closed and took a deep breath. He opened his eyes and stared coldly at the door.
Xian Zihao slowly picked up the medical records on the table. The yellowed pages were filled with every injury Jiang Ruolan had suffered in the last thirteen years at Jiang Family. The strength of the grip on her wrist gradually increased as his gaze never left the words written on it.
The atmosphere in the chartered room was frighteningly stuffy. This was the result of the anger of an old man who used to have great power and now added with the anger from a man who had great power in the business world.
It was extremely cold.
Jiang Ruolan took the documents in Xian Zihao's hand, then pulled her hand away. "Zihao, stop looking at this. It's all in the past!"
Xian Zihao didn't say anything. She could feel his self-blame, but what was there to blame for? They didn't even know each other at that time.
Xian Zihao once said that if he had a divine lamp to make a wish, he wanted to go back twenty years ago.
It was the year her mother jumped out of the building.
That was to say, he wanted to appear by her side at that time?
Thinking up to here, Jiang Ruolan's heart warmed as she grabbed his hand with all her strength. "Zihao, some of my past experiences were bestowed upon us by life. If it weren't for those experiences when I was young, you wouldn't have the current me by your side right now. I wouldn't have your love and concern. Everything I've experienced is worth it. Don't care about these, okay?"
Xian Zihao said nothing. He just quietly took her hand and looked at her deeply. Seeing her smile, the corners of his lips were slightly curved.
"There's no need for your Xian Family to do this. Zihao, there's no need for you to do this." Senior Zhou suddenly said.
When they were looking at Senior Zhou, he held onto the medical record in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Let me do something for my daughter and granddaughter. Even if Ruolan still doesn't want to recognize me, I will still let the Jiang Family know the meaning of losing!"
Jiang Ruolan said nothing when she looked at Senior Zhou. After a while, she said, "Senior Zhou, I think I should state my position."
Seeing Jiang Ruolan took the initiative to talk to him, Senior Zhou looked at her and listened to her patiently.
"No matter what kind of treatment I experienced when I was young, as I said before, the past is the past. The revenge between the Jiang Family and me is limited to Jiang Guanyu, who did not fulfill his father's duties, and for other things, I can only treat them as smoke passing by that caused by Jiang Bingqing to me."
"I don't have any hatred in my heart. I only blame myself for having such a father, but right now, I am living a very grateful life. No matter what you want to do right now, I hope that you can consider my feelings. Don't make things too big, and don't let my peaceful life be affected in the slightest."
"As for Zihao, he knows that I don't want this investigation to continue, so he didn't investigate any further. He knew what I was thinking, so he focused on giving me warmth, peace, and happiness. Happiness is the most important thing to me. If I wanted revenge, Zihao would have done it first, but I don't want to. I might have actually hated Jiang Bingqing, but now that she has received retribution, I don't want to hear about anything related to her, including the Jiang Family. Now that everything has been exposed, Zhan Lian will definitely not admit it."
Senior Zhou looked at her seriously. "Child, you don't have the heart to do this?"
Jiang Ruolan's lips curved into a smile, "I'm not such a saintly girl. The people who hurt me also wish me to go to hell but I value their calmness even more. So, no matter what you want to do, please don't involve me. Whether it's being selfish or fleeing, I just don't want some people's blood to dirty my own path."
Senior Zhou nodded. "Alright, I got it. Child, you really have some ideas and you are very stubborn, but I can understand. Don't worry, if I, your grandfather, do not think this for my daughter, who else can I think?"
Jiang Ruolan was not moved by his words. She put her hand on her stomach and pretended to have a stomach ache. "Zihao, my stomach hurts."
Seeing that her expression was not bad, Xian Zihao seemed to know what her purpose was. He lowered his head and looked at Senior Zhou with a helpless smile. "Ruolan is not feeling well. I will send her to see a doctor. Senior Zhou, take care."
Senior Zhou nodded and didn't say anything else.
After they both left, Jiang Ruolan suddenly grabbed Xian Zihao's hand. She looked at him with bright eyes. "Jiang Bingqing is still in the Public Security Bureau?"
Xian Zihao pushed the hair that had fallen on her cheek behind her ear. "En."
The corner of Jiang Ruolan's mouth curled up. "Zihao, let me see her."
