Chapter 431 - Cui Luixian’s Ending IX
Jiang Ruolan giggled as well, but then she remembered about the Old Man. She was about to sit up while anxiously asked, "Where's grandfather? How is he? Is he okay?"
"Sigh, there are some of his bones broken, and the doctor has already reattached it. He is now lying in the ward and was already awake. The Old Man seemed in a good spirit, but for now, he couldn't move." Zhan An answered honestly. There was indeed anxiety in Jiang Ruolan's eyes and Zhan An knew that deliberately hiding this from her would only make her more worried.
Upon hearing that, Jiang Ruolan immediately tried to get up. "I'm going to see grandpa!"
"Don't move." Xian Zihao walked into the room. Seeing that Jiang Ruolan had woken up, he heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he spoke up to stop her. "Grandpa is asleep now. Your first problem is to take care of yourself."
Seeing Xian Zihao's clear expression as if he was teaching a child lesson, Jiang Ruolan immediately backed away on the bed and gently put one hand on her stomach, while the other hand tugged at Zhan An. "Mom, go take care of grandpa. I'm fine and the children are safe. Yesterday everyone protected me and grandfather was injured like this because of me. Quickly find him. Don't worry about me, I will be fine."
"Alright then. Since Zihao is here, I will let him take care of you. Your father and I will go to the Old Man's place."
Zhan An smiled tactfully, patted her hand comfortingly, and left with Xian Jian.
The moment Xian Zihao walked over, Jiang Ruolan suddenly grabbed his hand. Xian Zihao originally wanted to place some things on the table, but after getting grabbed like this, he turned around to look at her. Seeing her eyes filled with happiness, he chuckled and sat down on the bed, then softly said, "Idiot, after a night of suffering, our children are finally safe, but during the labor, I must accompany you. You must make sure that you are completely safe. From now on, take care of the health of your body. Are you listening to me?"
Jiang Ruolan smiled and bring his hand to her chest. She then lightly nibbled on his finger. Seeing Xian Zihao raise his eyebrows at the same time, she giggled and looked at him, saying, "As long as the children safe, and grandpa is fine, then I will be at ease. But I heard grandfather's bones were broken, is he really all right?"
Xian Zihao gave her a comforting smile and lifted the blanket over her body, saying softly, "The main one is his ribs. Luckily the broken bone didn't hurt his internal organs, so they performed the surgery the same night. Grandfather is already old, the injuries he suffered when he was young were much worse than this. He didn't even care about this injury. Once he came out of the operating room, he opened his eyes and insisted on coming to see you. Asking me whether you are all right."
Jiang Ruolan was relieved, but she still felt a bit scared. Seeing Xian Zihao's gentle gaze full of concern and comfort, she smiled and gently held his hand, placing it on her stomach.
"Yesterday, when I saw the blood, I really thought that our children would never be able to be saved. It scared me to death. Luckily, these two little things are very strong." As she spoke, she laughed happily.
Xian Zihao smiled as he scratched her nose. "You are becoming more and more like a child. Our babies are unwilling to part with such a good mother who loves them dearly."
Jiang Ruolan immediately grinned. When she thought about how he tried to save her yesterday, ignoring the wound that had just healed, she suddenly wanted to sit up and looked at the wound.
"Zihao, let me see the wound on your back. Did it reopen again?"
"It's fine. The doctor has already treated it. Don't worry, you just have to take care of yourself. Be obedient, hm?" He gently pressed her shoulder down and caressed her forehead. With a gentle gaze, he said, "Sleep well. Many matters need to be settled at the Xian Residence right now. Grandfather is injured, dad is busy with army matters. I might need to take some time before coming back here."
Upon hearing his words, Jiang Ruolan immediately understood what he meant.
Was he going to deal with Cui Liuxian?
Regardless of what had happened to her, after what had happened to the Old Man, how could Cui Liuxian really not care about him? Did she have a little bit of guilt and worry? All these years, the Old Man had pampered and doted on her.
Once a person lost her mind, her conscience would be dominated by negative emotions. It was truly terrifying.
"How do you plan to deal with this?" Jiang Ruolan could not lie down. She was fine, but her stomach had rolled three or four times on the stairs. Now that she was fine and her body was not that weak, she insisted on sitting up.
Seeing her insistence, Xian Zihao took the pillow and put it on her back, making her lean against it. Jiang Ruolan didn't say anything about it, she just stared at him.
In fact, she could understand.. After all, Cui Liuxian had grown up in the Xian Family. Even if everyone could not tolerate her and felt that she was a hateful person, the feelings they had for her over the past years were not fake. At least, when Xian Zihao was young, there was a young and insensible girl who liked to stick by his side and call him Zihao over and over again.
No matter how much Cui Liuxian had lost her conscience, it was undeniable that her love for Xian Zihao was real.
Being with him was the dream she had when she was young, and it became a kind of persistence. Although she failed in using Jiang Yijun to achieve her goals, but in her heart, she still loved Xian Zihao.
At that time, Jiang Ruolan had seen the murderous intent in Xian Zihao's eyes and she didn't know how he would deal with Cui Liuxian. However, since he didn't say anything, she didn't continue to pester him about it.
Jiang Ruolan gently grabbed Xian Zihao's hand. Her fingers moved back and forth on the back of his hand, and her gaze was also gentle as she said, "Zihao, after living together for so long, there will be the feeling of love. I can understand that because of grandpa's protection, you have always been patient with her. Even until today, I have never blame anyone for whatever had happened to me."
Xian Zihao sighed and held her hand, "Idiot, you are saying that because the children are safe. If they are not saved, the first person who wants to kill her will be you. Everyone would blame themselves for this. For the sake of a little ingrate who grew up in the Xian Family, for the sake of grandpa, I let her go after what she did to you. But yesterday, watching her harm you and our children … I should have dealt with her a long time ago."
How could Jiang Ruolan didn't understand his feelings? As she was lying in the emergency room, she wanted to cut Cui Liuxian into a thousand pieces. It just... She didn't want Xian Zihao and the Xian Family to blame themselves. So right now, the only thing she could do was only laugh, "At the time, her mood was so low that everyone thought she would go quietly like this. No one thought that she would force herself into a corner."
With that, Jiang Ruolan shook her head again, "She's just felt wronged and unwilling. In the end, she's run out of tricks. She's been pampered since she was young. Plus, since she closed with Jiang Bingqing, you all should know that in the end, she will choose the wrong path."
At that moment, the ward door was pushed open. Xian Guiying stood outside the door with a serious expression and said, "Brother, Cui Liuxian came."
