My Little Sweet Wife

Chapter 87 – Confrontation II

What a foolish woman.

If Xian Zihao heard her words, did she think he will approach her in the future?

When the proud and aloof smile in Cui Liuxian's eyes gradually faded, Jiang Ruolan casually smiled, "Miss Cui, everyone has a past. As long as my husband isn't involved with other women after our marriage, why should I care about his past? At the age of twenty-eight, he may have several women. Should I had to mind every single one of them?"

Most importantly, she did not believe Cui Liuxian's words at all. Based on Xian Zihao's character, he knew very well who exactly he can touch and who he can't touch. His reason would overwhelm all desires.

Cui Liuxian's expression changed as she stared at Jiang Ruolan. She whispered in Jiang Ruolan's ear in a low voice that only both of them could hear, "Jiang Ruolan, stop pretending to be great. Zihao and I have known each other for twenty-three years. Do you know him?"

It was autumn and the night wind was blowing, causing people to feel cold on their faces. Jiang Ruolan was fine, she could still withstand the cold, but Cui Liuxian, who stared at her with red eyes, was trembling.

It was unknown whether she was cold or angry.

Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but sigh, thinking that Cui Liuxian was just a spoiled child. "Aren't you cold? If it's cold, why don't we go inside?"

"What right do you have to talk to me like that?! Don't use that hypocritical attitude of yours to put on airs with me!" Cui Liuxian pushed her away roughly.

Jiang Ruolan quickly stabilized her body and did not retaliate. She looked at Cui Liuxian in disbelief.

Cui Liuxian was acting like an immature child.

How many years had it been since Jiang Ruolan behaved like Cui Liuxian?

After recalling her memories, she suddenly realized that she never act so recklessly before.

Jiang Ruolan didn't want to retaliate against her because she knew the woman Xian Zihao loved was not Cui Liuxian at all. For a moment, she suddenly felt sympathy for the woman in front of her.

The man she had loved since childhood never loved her. His heart had never been given to her and the marriage also was never belonged to her.

She must be very, very sad.

Although she didn't like Cui Liuxian, the human heart was still made of flesh. She could still understand her (Cui Liuxian) feelings.

Just as Jiang Ruolan wanted to console her, suddenly, a glaring light flashed from a distance, followed by the sound of a car engine.

It was probably Xian Zihao's father's car.

Jiang Ruolan didn't know what was happening, but the expression in Cui Liuxian's eyes suddenly changed. When the light once again shone on them, she suddenly let go of the necklace around her neck, and accidentally slipped the ring and necklace into Jiang Ruolan's hand.

Jiang Ruolan was confused and wanted to return the item to her.

"Ah!" Shouts of distress and the sound of Jiang Ruolan sucking in a cold breath came from the side of the cold pool.

No matter how she thought about it, she would never have imagined that this dramatic and bloody scene would happen to her.

Cui Liuxian fell into the pool behind her, and as if she didn't have a good grasp of the direction, her forehead heavily smashed against a sharp rock at the side of the pool.

Jiang Ruolan stood blankly by the pool, looking at Cui Liuxian's figure drowning in the water. For a moment, she was at a loss.

She was so confused that she almost forgot to ask for help and even forgot to save her.

She just stared in disbelief at the blood floating on the surface of the water.

She didn't understand.

To obtain Xian Zihao, Cui Liuxian was even willing to sacrifice her life?

The headlights approached from a distance until a car stopped at the side of the road. The car door suddenly opened and a tall, muscular figure rushed out. "Liuxian?!"

Xian Jian, who had just returned, never expected to see such a scene once he returned. Unsurprisingly, he glared coldly at Jiang Ruolan. "Don't tell me you're Jiang Ruolan?!"

Jiang Ruolan looked at Xian Jian, who was in his fifties but was full of righteousness, and guessed that he was definitely Xian Zihao's father. Before she could open her mouth, Xian Jian suddenly turned around and shouted, "Old Li, save her now!"

Following that, Old Li, who had been listening to his orders, quickly walked over.

Jiang Ruolan's sharp eyes discovered that Commander Li was the thirty-year old young officer who had almost brought her to the Xian Residence before.

Commander Li quickly took off his jacket and jumped into the pond. In less than a minute, Cui Liuxian, who was covered in blood, was successfully saved.

Xian Jian looked coldly at the pale-faced Jiang Ruolan as if he couldn't be bothered to reprimand her. Then, he carried Cui Liuxian, who fainted inside the house quickly.

Although Old Li was not as cold as Xian Jian's, he still didn't have a pleasant expression on his face. He was looking at her as if he was looking at a wicked woman whose heart was like a scorpion's.

He frowned and said, "Try your best to beg the heavens to protect Miss Cui. If there is anything wrong with her, just wait for the Old Man to kill you himself."

With that, Old Li shook the water off his body and quickly walked inside.

Jiang Ruolan turned around in shock. She just felt a lump in her chest. She didn't realize that another figure had gotten out of the car. The figure immediately followed Old Li.

It was unknown when the Old Man Xian and Xian Zihao went downstairs. Xian Jian shouted for the doctor to come immediately.

The Old Man looked at Cui Liuxian whose face was covered in blood and asked in a trembling voice, "What happened to Liuxian? Why is her face covered in blood? Liuxian, don't scare grandpa."

Xian Zihao was only stunned for a moment before he looked at the silent Jiang Ruolan who had entered the living room. When he caught sight of the necklace and ring in her hand, he frowned slightly.

"What's going on?" He asked coldly. His gaze turned towards Cui Liuxian, who was slowly opening her eyes in Xian Jian's arms.

Zhan An, a few servants, and Nanny Cheng hurriedly went over to get a hot towel. "Come, come, come. Quickly help Liuxian clean up!"

Cui Liuxian opened her eyes in a daze. Her forehead was already dripping blood, and her face was weak and pale. She said in a weak and hoarse voice, "Zihao…My ring."

In the blink of an eye, everyone in the room looked in the direction pointed by Cui Liuxian with her hand.

In Jiang Ruolan's hands were necklaces and rings that she (Cui Liuxian) had always valued.

"Let… Let her return it to me.."

"Don't take it away… My ring …"

Tears rolled down Cui Liuxian's face. The wound on her forehead as a result of being hit by a sharp stone was still bleeding. Her face was pale and she trembled in Xian Jian's arms. "Don't let her take it…Bring it back to …me."

"Damn it!" Old Man Xian suddenly dropped the stick to the ground. He no longer looked at Jiang Ruolan and hurriedly said, "Hurry and bring Liuxian upstairs.. By the time the doctor arrives, it will be too late! Help her stop the bleeding first! I only have this one treasure! I can't let anything happen to her!"

Everyone who was still in a daze started to move as soon as the Old Man finished his sentence. Nanny Cheng with another servant, rushed forward and carried Cui Liuxian who had passed out again, up the stairs in a hurry.

Xian Jian's hands were free and he quickly slapped Jiang Ruolan's face.

*Pah!*

Five bright red hints immediately appeared on Jiang Ruolan's face. She stood there stiffly without moving. She looked at the furious Xian Jian without a trace of emotion in her eyes.

"Aiya! Jian! How can you hit her! " Zhan An cried in shock and ran towards her. She held Jiang Ruolan's arm with one hand and asked anxiously, "Ruolan, what's going on? Is what Liuxian said is true?"

"Why are you still asking? I saw this woman steal the Liuxian's ring and pushed her into the pool with my own eyes!" Xian Jian shouted.

"This woman really has the most venomous heart. Jiang Ruolan, forget about my Xian Family, I've never agreed with your marriage. From now on, don't even think about stepping your foot into my Xian Family's gate for the rest of your life! Get out! Scram!"

Jiang Ruolan tightly held the necklace in her hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She just stared at Xian Jian.

Jiang Guanyu once said that as long as she obediently stayed in the Jiang Family and did not cause trouble, nothing will happen to her.

She should not think of being treated equally with Jiang Bingqing.

Having him as her father was a virtue for her.

In the blink of an eye, a few years passed. She did not think that she would suffer the same fate in Xian's household. Her nails dug into her palms. She couldn't glare at Xian Jian.
