Chapter 347 - You Should Know Her Well
Seeing his funny expression, Jiang Ruolan thought to herself that if Xian Zihao didn't tell her, she would definitely feel bad about it. But looking at his expression, it seemed that the room had nothing to do with Zhou Shufen at all.
"It has nothing to do with her." At the same time, Xian Zihao also calmly answered her doubts.
Jiang Ruolan began to despise herself. A woman's heart is sometimes really small, but once she cares so much about things, she will 100% put her heart on it.
Jiang Ruolan just leaned into Xian Zihao's embrace, trying to divert the conversation with Zhou Shufen, and asked directly. "Then why is the room locked? I rarely see you come in, and on the first day of the wedding, you say that I can do whatever I want in Greenville Residence, but I can't touch that small room."
Although she was curious, she did not keep asking. Seeing that Xian Zihao did not say anything, she just let him hug her, not wanting to investigate his secret. Everyone had their own space, so maybe she shouldn't have asked this question from the beginning.
However, Xian Zihao's silence made her feel as if something was up. She subconsciously tightened the fabric of his shirt around his waist. After a moment of silence, he said in a slightly deep voice, "There is some important information."
With that, he stopped talking, and Jiang Ruolan didn't ask any further questions, but just hugged him tightly.
After that, a nurse came in to give her an injection. That was to cure the inflammation, and then Old Man Xian suddenly came in. As soon as he entered the ward, he immediately walked towards the bed. "Spoiled girl, do you feel better? I've been looking back at the matter of the overseer for the past two days. I heard from Zhan An that you're better now, so I found some time to come and see you again. Does your head still hurt?"
Jiang Ruolan looked at the Old Man's smiling face, then she said, "Grandpa, I'm fine now. Don't worry, I'm a young woman. It's okay to knock my head off once in a while."
"You spoiled girl, the things in your stomach are the treasures of our Xian Family, you can't talk like that. At that time, you did scare me to death. Seeing you in a coma, my heart is very uncomfortable." Old Man Xian shook his head, still a bit scared.
Jiang Ruolan smiled calmly. A suspicion arose in her heart because of what the Old Man had just said.
The collapse of the Xian Family's ancestral hall was a strange occurrence. It seemed that the Old Man never planned to investigate it. As soon as Xian Zihao had just returned, he had planned to rebuild the ancestral hall, as if hiding something.
Did Old Man Xian know something about it? At that time, she and the Old Man were both present at the scene. Although the Old Man was rescued later, the situation was so urgent and coincidental.
Old Man Xian was a shrewd person, yet he didn't say anything suspicious afterward. Now, he wanted to rebuild the ancestral hall before Xian Zihao went to inspect it?
Although Jiang Ruolan really didn't want things to turn out as she had guessed, she still kept this matter in her heart and didn't want to reveal it to the public. But seeing Old Man Xian's attitude, she thought in her heart, it was impossible for Old Man to know the mastermind behind this. The Old Man just wanted to have his family around him and have a good time, right?
She subconsciously lifted her gaze to Xian Zihao, only to see him looking at the Old Man.
Old Man Xian avoided Xian Zihao's gaze and only cared about Jiang Ruolan's condition. He did not mention anything else about the ancestral hall.
Although Xian Zihao had rushed to the hospital to find Jiang Ruolan as soon as he returned, he was still concerned with that matter. And now, seeing and hearing the Old Man planning to destroy all the evidence at the scene, he will definitely go to check it out.
Xian Zihao just calmly looked at Old Man Xian. After the Old Man saw that Jiang Ruolan was fine, he said that he had an appointment with an old friend. He will return to Xian Residence tomorrow and stay with an old friend tonight.
When the Old Man left, Xian Zihao went out to send him off.
"Zihao, are you going to stay with me in the hospital tonight? There are no extra beds here, go back to Greenville Residence and have a good night's sleep, alright? Don't worry about me."
Jiang Ruolan didn't know what they were saying, but when Xian Zihao entered the ward again, she spoke without warning.
Xian Zihao slowly closed the door. "It's okay. There's a sofa here."
"The sofa is only for one person, there's no way to lie down."
Jiang Ruolan wanted him to go back and rest, but he clearly had no intention of leaving.
In these past few days, due to her trying to be brave, she didn't want to trouble the Xian Family to take care of her, so she kept urging everyone to return. Thus, it was unavoidable for her to be lonely here every night, but she didn't want anyone else to know about it.
Xian Zihao, on the other hand, was able to see through her disguise. It was as if, even if the whole world believed in her tenacity, only he understood the fragility that lurked inside her.
Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but laugh proudly at that.
After a while, Zhou Shufen returned with some food and some soup in her hand. "Zihao, you can't eat too much meat, have you forgotten? I have bought some vegetables and soup, please eat it."
Of course, Zhou Shufen also passed Jiang Ruolan a box of food with meat. Next to her box, there were still two small boxes of vegetarian foods.
This was the "family of three" vegetarian meal. Only she, Jiang Ruolan, was capable of eating meat?
Huh.
Jiang Ruolan received it with a beaming smile and thanked her.
Zhou Shufen was polite this time and even though Jiang Ruolan understood that she had other motives, but who cares?
Food was food.
Only a fool would not accept a 'free' food.
Xian Zihao merely smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Miss Zhou. My three meals have been stable in recent months, and my stomach has recovered a lot. There's no need to be picky about this. I'm not hungry, just eat by yourself."
Although Xian Zihao's food was delicious, he could only cook some of it when he wasn't too busy. Normally, when he came home from work, Jiang Ruolan would set the table for him, and unless he were on a business trip or working overtime, she would always ensure that he ate on time.
She also paid attention to his stomach's nutrition regulation, intentionally avoiding irritating food, which made his stomach feel a lot better.
It went without saying that Zhou Shufen understood the meaning behind his words. She looked at him blankly, as if she didn't want to believe that he would be so cruel to her.
Jiang Ruolan lowered her head and ate the meat. It tasted pretty good, and also very clean. With Zhou Shufen's personality, this box of rice may not be made by some small restaurant.
At this moment, Xiaoyi woke up. She rubbed her eyes and mumbled, "Mommy~"
Zhou Shufen regained her senses and looked at Xian Zihao with a gaze full of bitterness. Seeing his calm expression, she let out a painful smile, "Xian Zihao, why? You should know her well before--"
Xian Zihao glanced at her indifferently at the same time. His eyes were unperturbed but unreadable. His black eyes were as deep as the ocean. Although he looked calm, there was a hint of coldness within his eyes.
Zhou Shufen suddenly stopped talking. Hearing Xiaoyi's call, she placed the box of food beside him and said, "Eat when you're hungry. Otherwise, it'll be a waste."
With that, she turned around and returned to Xiaoyi's bed.
During that time, Xian Zihao had been in rather awkward silence. Jiang Ruolan was eating the food that Zhou Shufen had bought, but her hearing was still quite good. When she heard Zhou Shufen's words and saw Xian Zihao's indifferent look just now, she did not think too much and only sneered in her heart.
