Chapter 410 – Untitled
Jiang Ruolan may not believe her words.
Qin Gengxin never made her feel cold. Even when she was still young, the reason she was so upset with him was because he always bullied her. That kind of passion was simply heaven-angering.
But today, in front of the hospital, the cold and heartless Qin Gengxin was a stranger to Jiang Ruolan.
What Xian Guiying said was right. Only she really knew him very well.
Could it be that Qin Gengxin, who has a wild smile on his face, but was actually cold and had a ruthless heart, was the real him?
Xian Guiying suddenly pulled Jiang Ruolan's hand while smiling. "Forget it, sister-in-law. The sea wind is too strong here. You are pregnant too. Let's not stay here anymore. Come, accompany me to drink milk tea."
Jiang Ruolan said nothing and just quietly accompanied Xian Guiying. They both seemed to have seen through each other's thoughts as they both smiled and went to a nearby tea shop and ordered two cups of regular milk tea without additives.
When they were sitting, Jiang Ruolan immediately asked, "What other plans do you have?"
Xian Guiying smiled. "I'm waiting."
"Wait for what?"
"When my heart is truly numb from the pain, when I am tired of this love, when I no longer love him." Xian Guiying smiled as she bit the straw, as if she was talking about someone else. Her eyes were curved and her entire body exuded a kind of tenacity that belonged solely to her.
Perhaps everyone didn't really know her. Although Xian Guiying always showed a strong appearance on the surface, but Xian Guiying in front of her now was so fragile that she would collapse if the wind blew.
This tall and thin Xian Guiying was stronger than anyone else.
Qin Gengxin never lacked in women, but to have a woman like Xian Guiying by his side, it could be considered a blessing for him.
And yet, he couldn't see it.
Jiang Ruolan suddenly felt the milk tea in her mouth was a bit bitter. As she raised her head to look at Xian Guiying, she found that she (Xian Guiying) was casually flipping through financial magazines on the table.
When Jiang Ruolan returned to the hospital, before she even went upstairs, she noticed a person walking towards her.
It was a neatly dressed man in his thirties. When he passed by her, he suddenly lowered his head and said, "Miss Jiang, someone is waiting for you at the coffee shop opposite the hospital."
Jiang Ruolan halted her steps and turned around abruptly. The man politely nodded to her before leaving.
Jiang Ruolan looked at the man suspiciously and was convinced that she did not recognize him. Still, he looks very mysterious, as if someone sent him. He had the smell of medicine on him and from his temperament, he looked like an experienced doctor.
Jiang Ruolan hesitated for a moment and looked towards the coffee shop across the hospital. This coffee shop was huge. If someone wanted to hurt her, they would definitely not choose a place like this.
She will definitely not go there blindly. Jiang Ruolan stopped at the hospital's entrance and took a close look at the coffee shop's third-floor window. When she saw the recognizable figure, her heart skipped a beat and she quickly went there fast.
"You're here?"
As Jiang Ruolan approached, the person who was sitting silently at the elegant round table turned around and smiled at her.
"Auntie Jia? Why did you suddenly come here?" Jiang Ruolan asked in surprise.
Jia Zhenzhen, who was dressed elegantly, said with a smile, "Take a seat first."
After Jiang Ruolan sat down, she said, "I came here because I was worried about you. I heard that you had a car accident a few days ago, but after hearing from many people that you were not injured, I was relieved."
"I saw Jiang Guanyu came with Zhan Lian. I watched them from here. I never thought that after many years, the old fox would remain so charming. The sky is actually really blind because it still let him have a good life."
The sharpness of Jia Zhenzhen's tone made Jiang Ruolan a little uncomfortable. On the surface, she could only smile, "Auntie Jia, are you trying to help my mother? So many years have passed, but my mother still has a good friend like you. She will definitely be very pleased in the heaven."
Seeing that she had changed the topic, Jia Zhenzhen calmly looked at her. After a while, she asked, "Lan, the white crystal necklace your mother left that year, is still in your hands?"
Jiang Ruolan secretly tightened her grip on the glass on the table, but her expression didn't change. "What does Auntie Jia mean?"
"Oh, I have no other intention. I just want to confirm if the very important thing your mother left that year was in your hands. If it is with you, then I can relax." Jia Zhenzhen's expression changed very quickly.
"Is the necklace important?" Zhan Lian once looked for it. She looked very nervous when she asked where the necklace was. At that time, Jiang Ruolan didn't answer her question but instead asked her another question.
Seeing her attitude, Jia Zhenzhen actually smiled happily and said to her, "Girl, you're used to playing dumb. You actually don't trust me. You haven't revealed anything about that to the old fox Zhan Lian, right?"
Jiang Ruolan was increasingly unable to understand Jia Zhenzhen's attitude towards her. She didn't know if the woman in front of her was truly awake, or if she was in between a state of insanity and a state of sobriety. It was just that some of her words and her sudden warm attitude made it impossible for her to determine what she (Jia Zhenzhen) was thinking.
Seeing that Jiang Ruolan just lowered her head to sip water, Jia Zhenzhen smiled. She was not angry with her attitude at all.
Just when Jiang Ruolan felt this was not right and just as she put down the glass, Jia Zhenzhen suddenly held her hand gently.
Jiang Ruolan was stunned for a moment before she looked at Jia Zhenzhen hesitantly. "Auntie Jia?"
"Lan, it's almost your birthday, right?" she asked with a kind smile.
Jiang Ruolan thought for a moment and realized that her birthday was coming up soon. She said embarrassedly, "It seems so. But there are still another two months."
Jia Zhenzhen nodded. "Child, since you don't want to talk about your mother and the necklace, then tell auntie how you celebrated your birthday this past few years. Tell auntie about the happy and sad things you have done. Let auntie know about you and let auntie make up for the lack of motherly love, okay?"
Jia Zhenzhen's hand was warm, just like her mother's. Jiang Ruolan was stunned as she looked at the thin but warm hand on the back of her hand. Jia Zhenzhen was no longer as cold as the first time she returned from America. Her body temperature was normal now, and it seemed that she had really regained her freedom here.
Jiang Ruolan couldn't understand why Jia Zhenzhen was locked up for so long, and why she had to keep pretending to be crazy. If she didn't pretend to be crazy, wouldn't she be able to leave as soon as possible?
Or maybe, the problem was even deeper than she had imagined.
