Chapter 398 - Has Anyone Approached This Car Recently
After staying in G City for a day, they finally flew back to H City on Sunday afternoon. By the time they returned to Greenville Residence, the sky was dark.
Their plan to go shopping and buy their child's clothes was delayed, but Xian Zihao promised to accompany her next week.
On Sunday morning, a week later, Jiang Ruolan intends to go out after dressing. She was supposed to get into Xian Zihao's car, but as she walked out the door, she saw Xian Zihao walking back from outside without a car.
"Where's your car?" She immediately asked.
"Assistant Bai brought my car to the annual inspection. The city is not too far from here, I will take your car." Xian Zihao entered the house and took her white Nissan Sylphy key, and exited again.
After the car left the garage, Jiang Ruolan casually searched her bag. Xian Zihao, who was driving, suddenly said, "Do you remember what Bingqing said last time? Even if she can't get out, with Jiang Family's background and acquaintances, it will be easy for them to visit her. She might be looking for someone to take revenge for her."
"It can't be?"
"It's good to be careful, I'll place more people around you." Xian Zihao said gently, "This is an extraordinary time. If we are careful, we will be able to sail a ship for ten thousand years."
Jiang Ruolan nodded and took the magazine from the bag. She didn't disturb Xian Zihao as he drove and silently looked at the parent-child clothes on the magazine's cover before turning her head to see the color of Xian Zihao's skin. She was considering which color to buy.
Seeing that Jiang Ruolan occasionally raised her head to look at him and occasionally looked at the magazine in her hand, Xian Zihao's hand firmly gripped the steering wheel. He looked at her and smiled.
Jiang Ruolan flipped through the magazine while muttering, "I can tell that this little frog sweater is pretty good. It's suitable for both boys and girls. If our child is a boy and a girl, they will look beautiful in it."
Xian Zihao chuckled. "It's up to you. If you like all the parent-child clothes you see in the store later, you can buy some more."
"That's impossible. The children's bodies are growing too fast. Today, let's buy the clothes they wore before they were one year old. We can buy the other clothes later when they grow up. Otherwise, the patterns would be outdated."
As she spoke, Jiang Ruolan closed the magazine in her hand and leaned her head back in her seat while staring at Xian Zihao as he drove.
Although they were slightly apart, she could still feel his calm breathing, and because of her gaze, the curve of his lips was even more charming.
"Zihao …"
"En."
"Zihao …"
"En."
"Zihao…"
Xian Zihao laughed and turned to look at her. "Don't be naughty, I'm driving."
"It's not that I'm bothering you, I'm just calling you." Jiang Ruolan looked at him with a satisfied expression. She smiled and raised her eyebrow, then suddenly thought of what Qin Gengxin had said last week.
Jiang Ruolan couldn't restrain herself from asking, "Guiying still has two to three months left before her child is born, right? Does she still not want to marry Qin Gengxin?"
Xian Zihao's slender fingers gently grasped the steering wheel as he steadily turned it. After a moment, he lightly said, "Guiying's personality is too stubborn and too forceful. She can tell that the marriage that Qin Gengxin promised was only a moment of extreme anger, and she also knows that his heart isn't with her. She doesn't want to get married like this. She would rather live alone with her child."
"But even if Guiying wanted to be strong, she shouldn't have considered having a child. If the child didn't have a father, how pitiful would it be? Even if the child was born without any worries in the Xian Family, the lack of fatherly love can't be made up by the wealth." Jiang Ruolan sighed emotionally.
"Now the situation has been known by grandpa, with his stubborn and conservative mind, it is natural for Guiying to marry Qin Gengxin. But if this marriage doesn't work, then grandpa will be the first to kick her out of the house. Although I can guarantee that Guiying will not roam around the country, with her stubborn personality, if she was kicked out, she would never return."
Xian Zihao was also helpless about this matter. He sighed faintly.
"Since everything has reached this stage, why does Guiying not want to get married?" Jiang Ruolan was confused, "Obviously, she really liked Qin Gengxin. Although Qin Gengxin was drunk that night, she was just greedy and wanted to leave unforgettable memories. She didn't think that she would get pregnant easily. Anyway, it's too late for her to regret it now."
"Because Qin Gengxin doesn't love her." Xian Zihao said calmly.
Jiang Ruolan curled her lips. "When we got married, we were strangers. But after that, we both fell in love with each other. Since Guiying is very outstanding, it will not be too long for Qin Gengxin to have feelings for her. Moreover, Qin Gengxin is just angry with her for hiding this matter from him and for interrupting his plans. However, if he doesn't have feelings for Guiying, he will definitely not decide to get married."
"Qin Gengxin is indeed responsible, but with my understanding of him …" Xian Zihao frowned and a hint of hesitation could be seen in his eyes. "He only intends to be responsible, but if he really marries Guiying, it's hard to say that he won't take revenge."
"Revenge? How?" Jiang Ruolan was shocked.
Xian Zihao shook his head slightly and stopped talking. After a while, he said, "Qin Gengxin's personality is indeed cheerful, as if he doesn't care about anything. You don't understand him, but once you crossed his line, he will be more frightening than anyone else."
Jiang Ruolan suddenly remembered when Qin Gengxin laughed and said that he would probably call her "sister-in-law". The mockery and playfulness on his face instantly turned cold.
Today was a Sunday, so there was a lot of traffic on the road. The white Nissan Sylphy drove steadily under Xian Zihao's control on H City's main road. He held her hand as he drove the car.
Thinking about Qin Gengxin's attitude towards Xian Guiying while holding the magazine in her hand, Jiang Ruolan suddenly became very worried that Xian Guiying would suffer from revenge. She couldn't help but want to take out her cell phone to call Xian Guiying and check out her current situation and mood.
Just then, a faint smell of burnt things came from inside the car. Jiang Ruolan was very sensitive to smell due to her pregnancy. She couldn't help but look around and asked hesitantly, "Zihao, do you smell something?"
Xian Zihao seemed to be looking for an opportunity to park the car by the side of the road. However, the area on this main road didn't allow cars to be parked casually, and there was a lot of traffic here as well as danger. He glanced at his feet and asked in a low, cold voice, "Has anyone approached this car recently?"
Seeing the change in Xian Zihao's expression as if he suspected something was wrong with the car, Jiang Ruolan immediately said, "Yesterday, when I was driving for lunch with Ruogang, I thought the brakes didn't function well, so I sent this car to a nearby repair shop. After lunch, I went to get it and drive back."
"This is still considered a new car, why are the brakes suddenly not working?" Xian Zihao's expression was slightly cold as he looked straight ahead, seemingly paying attention to something.
"I'm not sure either, but I noticed later that something seemed to be wrong with the brake film. Could someone have done something to it?"
Thinking about that, Jiang Ruolan immediately lowered her head to look at Xian Zihao's feet. She immediately cried out, "Zihao! Stop the car! Smoke is coming out!"
"I can't stop." Xian Zihao frowned and said softly, as if he didn't want to scare her. He then turned to look at her and calmly said, "Fasten the seatbelt, and don't move! It's just that there's a problem with the brakes right now, so I'll find a place to stop at the front."
Jiang Ruolan nodded and checked her seat belt. She suddenly saw two large trucks containing metal items coming towards them. The closer the truck was, the faster it was speeding. It was heading towards them. She whispered, "Be careful!"
Xian Zihao had already discovered that there was something wrong with the two trucks. He had to avoid it faster. But now that the brakes had failed, speeding up was equally dangerous. Since Jiang Ruolan was pregnant, jumping out of the car was not an option either.
Jiang Ruolan immediately thought of something, she suddenly turned her body to look behind her. Looking at the speed of the traffic behind her, it seemed these people were unaware of the situation on their side. If Xian Zihao turned the car around just like that, chances were…
However, just as she thought of that, Xian Zihao suddenly shouted, "Ruolan, sit tight!"
