Chapter 89 – Confrontation IV
Not long after, the doctor rushed over and hurried upstairs under the guidance of a servant.Half an hour later, Zhan An, accompanied by Nanny Cheng, went downstairs.
Jiang Ruolan hurriedly stood up and looked at Zhan An with a helpless look in her eyes. "Mom."
Zhan An's benevolent gaze fell on her and she smiled. She walked over and said, "Good child, tell mom what happened?"
"Mom, don't you know that Cui Liuxian? I was kicked out of this house because of her. Now, she changed her targets, she also wants to drive sister-in-law away!" Without waiting for Jiang Ruolan to speak, Xian Guiying said this in an indifferent tone.
Zhan An looked at Xian Guiying in astonishment. "Guiying? I heard from your father that you all saw how Cui Liuxian fell into the pool, right?"
Xian Guiying sat on the bench with her arms crossed.
She looked at her mother, who was looking at her with a serious expression. She knew that her mother wanted to hear the truth from her.
Xian Guiying laughed coldly, "So what if I saw it? So what if it's not the sister-in-law who was pushing her? All we can do here is trust my sister-in-law. You alone know, even if dad and grandpa knew the truth, they still would not believe that Cui Liuxian would frame sister-in-law!"
Jiang Ruolan stood on the spot and didn't say anything.
Zhan An looked at her and after a while, she nodded, "I understand."
She did not go to comfort her, nor did she say another word. Her usually childish and naughty nature eventually disappeared like a mist.
Everyone had their own opinion, including Zhan An.
Xian Guiying didn't say anything else. She picked up the plate of fruit again and ate its contents. From time to time, she would glance at the expressionless Jiang Ruolan.
Her eyes didn't have any warmth.
After about half an hour, the doctor came down, followed by Xian Jian.
"You have to pay attention to Miss Cui's mood recently. I just saw that her pupils are unstable. It's due to psychological pressure. Try your best to not let her suffer any kind of shock." The doctor said as he walked, "Also, don't let her forehead get wet for a week. The wound on her forehead isn't very deep, and it doesn't hurt her bones, but … A two to three centimeters long scar may be left on her forehead for the time being. If Miss Cui cares about it in the future, you can go to the plastic surgery hospital to remove the scar after she completely recovers."
"Alright, alright. As long as Liuxian's life isn't in danger, everything will be fine." Xian Jian nodded and turned his head to look at Old Li.
Old Li knew what he meant, so he nodded and sent the doctor away.
All of a sudden, only expressionless Jiang Ruolan, Xian Jian, who had a cold expression and Xian Guiying, who was eating fruits one bite at a time, were left in the living room.
"Luckily, nothing bad happened to Liuxian. Otherwise, my Xian Family would have you, a vicious woman, pay with your life!" Xian Jian looked at Jiang Ruolan coldly with disgust in his eyes.
Jiang Ruolan took a deep breath and looked at the cold look in Xian Jian's eyes. "Mr. Xian, you sound
Xian Jian was expressionless: "What do you mean? I saw you push Cui Liuxian with my own eyes."
"What else is there to say to her? Immediately get someone to send her away! Send a car to take her back to the city. Our Xian Family does not welcome this kind of woman! " Old Man Xian's old but vigorous voice sounded from the second floor. "Let Commander Li send her away! Immediately!"
"Tsk, tsk. No matter what, she's still my sister-in-law. I'm really not sure if grandpa and dad know who the real Xian Family member is!"
Xian Guiying stood up and walked towards Jiang Ruolan in high heels. She grabbed her (Jiang Ruolan) arm and said, "My brother wanted me to stay with you, He wanted me to watch you and do not let you leave. Since grandfather and dad still haven't figured out the truth, I don't think you should leave. Come to my room, let's go."
With that, Xian Guiying dragged Jiang Ruolan upstairs.
Old Man Xian suddenly blocked the stairs with the cane in his hand and stared at Xian Guiying in anger. "Little Ying, you want to piss me off, don't you?"
Xian Guiying could sense that Jiang Ruolan was more or less resistant to the idea.
She knew that Jiang Ruolan would leave to avoid this matter from getting worse.
She looked back at her. "If you didn't go upstairs now, my brother will definitely be pestered by Cui Liuxian. She wouldn't let him see you! You two are already married. Do you want to hand over your man to someone else?"
"What are you saying!? I'm the one who asked Zihao to accompany Liuxian! Stop bullying that kid!" Old Master Xian glared angrily at Xian Guiying.
"Yes, yes, yes, my elders always doted and believed in that pitiful little girl surnamed Cui. They won't believe in their granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law. There is no one else more important in this world other than Cui Liuxian!"
"Grandpa, I knew that you wanted to chase away and embarrass my sister-in-law just because of Cui Liuxian. Isn't this a bit too much?" Xian Guiying held her head high.
She looked at the old man's cane without hesitation. "You've been behaving like this for years. You always accuse without knowing the truth! So what's wrong with me protecting my sister-in-law? In any case, the person who I protected and has a legitimate relationship with my brother. What does Cui Liuxian count for?!"
"You!" Old Man Xian's hand, which was holding the cane, gradually trembled.
"Guiying! Why are you talking to your grandfather like that?" Xian Jian suddenly shouted.
Xian Guiying snorted. She ignored the voice behind her and held Jian Ruolan's hand tightly. "You think I wanted to stay here? If it wasn't for mom saying that I haven't been back in so many years and wanted me to meet my sister-in-law, I wouldn't have even bothered to come back and see the both of you!"
"Grandfather, I am your granddaughter, not one of the soldiers you served when you were young! What kind of ability do you have to accuse people without investigating the truth? You've already retired for so many years! Huh! Old habits don't change, do they? My brother might bear with all of you, but not me!"
After saying that, Xian Guiying pulled Jiang Ruolan down the stairs, "If I don't go back to my room, then I have nowhere else to go? There are so many houses in the Xian Residence, if worse comes to worst, I'll stay in the guest room with my sister-in-law!"
With that, Xian Guiying dragged Jiang Ruolan out of the house.
"Guiying! Stop right there! " Xian Jian took a step forward.
However, Xian Guiying acted as if she did not hear him and walked faster. Jiang Ruolan, who had been forcefully dragged along, had a stunned look on her face as she looked at Xian Guiying, whose hair had been messed up by the wind. "It's not easy for you to go home. To help me, you had a falling out with your family. Is it worth it?"
Xian Guiying's footsteps stopped. She turned and glanced at Jiang Ruolan, then released her hand. She carelessly strokes her hair, "To be honest, I really don't need to help you. But I like people that my grandfather and my father don't like! I like people who can threaten Cui Liuxian!"
She suddenly laughed coldly and leaned against a bamboo tree, squinting her beautiful black eyes, "My brother's heart has died once. I once despaired that he would accept his fate and marry Cui Liuxian under the insistence of my family. This is the last thing I want to see."
"As for your appearance, though a little sudden, I do not need to help you from the beginning. Just now, you clearly did not explain too much, but my brother said he believed you. I think that's why Cui Liuxian would rather risk her life to break you up. She can see that you are threatening her position in my brother's heart and I am very happy to see that happen."
Xian Guiying suddenly took out a small box of cigarettes from her pocket, lit one, and offered her another.
Jiang Ruolan waved her hand. "I'm not used to smoking."
Xian Guiying shrugged and did not force her. Leaning against the bamboo, she lightly smoked the thin cigarette. The thin smoke surrounding her face as she tilted her head and chuckled softly. "It would be even better if my brother fell in love with you. At that time, Cui Liuxian would probably really go crazy."
