Chapter 436 – Untitled
"She's been ridiculed to this extent, and yet, she's still proud of herself. She really deserves to be beaten!"
"Ahhh …"
"Hit her!"
Xian Guiying was immediately pulled over by Zhan An, preventing her from falling into the chaos that suddenly appears. If Jiang Yijun wanted to stop this fight, of course he could, but he didn't. He just coldly watched Cui Liuxian fight with a dozen people on her own with no trace of pity on his face.
More and more people started participating, but many of them also didn't intervene and turned around to leave. Jiang Ruolan saw the situation become very chaotic, and everyone knew that this matter was related to the Xian Family, so she quickly called Jiang Yijun. "Yijun, quickly pull her away! Don't let them kill her!"
"Let them fight for a while. It won't be too late to pull her back after the women taught her a good lesson."
Jiang Yijun stood there with his arms crossed, staring at the crowd, not moving at all.
Jiang Ruolan was worried, but she couldn't risk running over herself. She just frowned, "Cui Liuxian must have suffered a lot during this time. Regardless of what she did, Zihao has no intention of letting her go. It's just that he hasn't had time to take care of this matter because he's in the hospital these few days. If Cui Liuxian is injured, that will make things worse! She has more reason to blame Guiying or me, accusing us of sending someone to hit her. We can't give her any chance to cause trouble again."
When Zhan An heard this, she also nodded her head. "Indeed, you are right. Yijun, you go and pull Cui Liuxian out. Otherwise, the situation will be very bad if there is death!"
Jiang Yijun sighed and walked towards the crowd, pushing them to the side. "Stop. Don't kill her."
Although those people had participated in the commotion, but when they heard that someone was about to die, many of them also withdrew their hands.
"Scram! Get lost all of you!" Seeing that the people had stopped beating her, Cui Liuxian screamed. "All of you, scram!"
"Whore! Just by looking at your aura, I can tell that you're not a good person!" The woman on top of Cui Liuxian slapped her swollen face, then she got pulled up by someone and walked to the side, looking at her coldly.
After Cui Liuxian was slapped and because she couldn't get up from the ground, she just lay there crying. Jiang Yijun originally wanted to go over and pull her up, but seeing her like this, he didn't even want to touch her. He just stood at the side and looked at her expressionlessly. "You really aren't afraid of losing face."
Cui Liuxian was lying on the ground, wailing as her life was on the line. Jiang Ruolan was so annoyed with her crying.
"Serves you right!" Xiong Ruogang spat beside her and looked at Cui Liuxian with disgust. "She's really despicable! At this point, I can't blame these people for hitting her!"
Jiang Ruolan didn't want to care about Cui Liuxian's problem, so she let her lying there in a pathetic state. As long as there were no deaths, making it impossible for Xian Zihao to deal with it once he returned, then everything would be fine.
The crowd had all scattered to the side, but there were still many people watching this scene. Jiang Ruolan irritably looked around and said to Xian Guiying, "Guiying, let's go. It's not worth it for you to be angry with her. Standing here, watching her cry only makes your eyes bleed. What a sore sight."
"Alright."
"I'm not angry. I can't stand her bothering our family again and again." Xian Guiying said helplessly, then she turned to Jiang Ruolan, "Sister-in-law, why are you here? Hurry and go back to the ward. This is my fault. If I ignore her, there will be no commotion here, and you won't have to run here."
"I'm fine. I just come down for a walk." Jiang Ruolan smiled before turning around. Xiong Ruogang supported her as she walked back to the ward.
If it was any other time, Jiang Ruolan would definitely pull Xian Guiying along with her. But now, her state of mind was still in chaos and she felt hesitant with the Xian Family after everything Jiang Yijun had told her.
Although there were many things that she had yet to understand, at this moment, she could no longer bring out any more smiles and pleasantries.
Xiong Ruogang helped Jiang Ruolan and examined her expression. "Sis Jiang, are you in a bad mood?"
Jiang Ruolan didn't nod or shake her head. She just stopped and looked at the clock on the wall with dates written on it.
She gently placed her hand on her stomach.
"Sis Jiang?"
"Time flies. It's been six months. Next month …" Jiang Ruolan's hand gently caressed her big stomach. She sighed and smiled. "Next month is my twenty-fifth birthday."
"Hey, Sis Jiang, it's your birthday next month! What gift do you want? Can you eat cake now? Even if you haven't worked yet, our friends in the Business Reporting Department still miss you every day. When the time comes, can I call everyone to celebrate your birthday together?" Xiong Ruogang said excitedly.
Jiang Ruolan just smiled. "Aren't you guys always very busy? Besides, even though I seem to have a good relationship with everyone in the company, it's not like you don't know what they are thinking about me. They don't have a genuine feeling for me."
"How could that be? Aren't I a good friend of yours?" Xiong Ruogang's eyes widened.
Jiang Ruolan sighed and laughed. "It's because you're a weirdo!"
"Sis Jiang, you're teasing me again! You can just say that I'm still not familiar with this society! There's no need for you to scold me in a roundabout way!" Xiong Ruogang pouted as she helped Jiang Ruolan into the elevator.
Before Xian Zihao returned, Cui Liuxian had hurriedly caught a taxi and left. She wanted to run away, but she forgot that it would be easy for the Xian Family to capture her and punish her.
Cui Liuxian didn't have much cash on her, and the card the Xian Family had given to her was already frozen. She couldn't return to the Xian Residence nor the hospital. She won't be able to stay out outside any longer.
When Xian Zihao had returned to the hospital, Jiang Ruolan could clearly tell that he was hiding something from her because his concern for her became deeper.
There were many times when she caught him looking at her seriously and wanted to say something to her, but in the end, he didn't.
On the day Jiang Ruolan left the hospital, Old Man Xian was still unable to return home, but his recovery was still good. Nanny Cheng and the others often took turns looking at the Old Man, which was quite reassuring.
"You want to go back to Greenville Residence?" Seeing Jiang Ruolan had changed her clothes and sat by the sickbed, staring blankly at her round belly, Xian Zihao walked over. He caressed her face and said with a smile.
Jiang Ruolan paused for a moment and said, "Let's go back to Greenville Residence. Sister Yanmei also comes to visit me frequently these few days and goes back to clean up. I can take advantage of the time when I have nothing else to do to exercise and help her do some housework."
"Let's go back now." Xian Zihao helped her get up. Jiang Ruolan's stomach was getting bigger and heavier. The load of walking alone was too much for her and Xian Zihao couldn't bear to let her walk like this. He had supported her inseparably for many days already.
Upon getting out of the hospital, Jiang Ruolan suddenly said, "I want to go to the sanatorium to see Auntie Jia."
Xian Zihao's hand that was on the steering wheel immediately tightened, but he didn't say anything. He didn't even look at her, just silently drove the car to the sanatorium.
It had been a long time since Jiang Ruolan had vomited, but today she felt strangely uncomfortable, so she asked him to stop the car. She ran to the side of the road and retched for a long time.
Since it was summer and the weather was hot, Xian Zihao helped her walk to the shore and sat there for a while.
It was already afternoon. Xian Zihao and Jiang Ruolan were sitting side by side, watching the sea. The blue tide in front of their eyes gradually receded, giving them the illusion that it would last forever.
'Xian Zihao, will we be together for the rest of our lives?'
