Chapter 407 – Speak Of The Devil And They’ll Be Here
Jiang Guanyu was the first one to get out. Then he went to the passenger side and pulled Zhan Lian off the car. Zhan Lian crossed over a shallow puddle on the side of the road and muttered in dissatisfaction from time to time.
Jiang Ruolan looked at them indifferently. She slowly stood behind the window and looked at them. She saw Zhan Lian's anxious expression. When Jiang Guanyu saw a nurse come out, he immediately asked her for something. The nurse pointed in Jiang Ruolan's direction.
Jiang Ruolan's face darkened when she saw that in Jiang Guanyu's hand, there was a basket of fruit and gifts. She quickly walked back to the elevator.
When she returned to Xian Zihao's floor, she saw that Zhan An and the others had not yet arrived. Jiang Ruolan walked back to the ward and slowly opened the door.
Xian Zihao was sitting on the edge of the bed, with a needle in his hand, and though his face was still pale, he looked to be in much better spirits. Old Man Xian was sitting beside the bed with a solemn expression, as if he was discussing something serious with him.
A solemn and serious expression that Jiang Ruolan had never seen before.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Ruolan paused in front of the door.
Seeing that Jiang Ruolan had returned, Xian Zihao immediately looked at her and could see that she wanted to say something but was hesitant. He then smiled softly. "What's wrong?"
Old Man Xian also turned to look at her. "Spoiled girl, I heard someone calling Guiying's name from outside. Is it Guiying?"
Jiang Ruolan didn't know how to explain what was happening, so she could only say, "Jiang Guanyu and Zhan Lian are here."
Almost at the same time, the smile on Old Man Xian's face faded. He looked at Xian Zihao, who was still smiling faintly.
"Speak of the devil and they'll be here." Xian Zihao said calmly, "Looks like they're here to scout out the situation."
Old Man Xian nodded. "The perpetrator has been caught, but the mastermind is still fleeing. Even so, this person's statement is enough to ruin the Jiang Family. I'm afraid they want to take advantage of this situation and gain some leeway."
Xian Zihao didn't say anything else because Jiang Ruolan had already walked into the room. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Guanyu walked in with Zhan Lian, who was dressed in simple and unadorned clothes.
Indeed, Xian Zihao had inherited Old Man Xian's attitude. When the Old Man saw them enter, his original indifferent and serious expression turned into a polite smile. As if he didn't know anything, he laughed and said, "Why is Guanyu here?"
They both placed baskets of fruit and gifts on the small table. Zhan Lian rubbed both of her hands. At first, she wanted to say something, but then she felt it wasn't good for her to speak first, so she looked at Jiang Guanyu.
Jiang Guanyu couldn't help but smile and said, "I heard that a few days ago, Zihao was seriously injured in a car accident. After all, he is Lian's nephew and after she heard the news, she immediately asked me to accompany her and fly to H City on the same day."
Seeing that Xian Zihao was still safe and sound, Jiang Guanyu clearly felt relieved, as if he had finally got a chance to live. He smiled at the Old Man and then looked at Xian Zihao, who showed no change in expression. "Zihao, this is a supplement that Aunt Lian bought for you on the way here, as well as some of the fruit you love to eat. Aunt Lian is more interested in you than her daughter. Usually, no matter how much she spoils Bingqing, she will not be able to remember the fruits that she (Bingqing) likes to eat. However, when we were at the fruit shop today, she practically remembered all the fruit you loved when you were young."
Jiang Ruolan had been silent the entire time and quietly peeling apples from the side. With a look in his eyes, Xian Zihao signaled her to sit down beside him.
Jiang Ruolan walked over with the apple and fruit knife in her hand. She sat by the side of the bed, smiling faintly at Xian Zihao as she listened to the couple behind her.
"Yeah, everyone says that nephew is closer to aunt. These words are indeed true." Old Man Xian stood up with a smile and held his cane. "Well, since you two come here to see Zihao, then I will leave first. You guys have a talk."
With that, the Old Man calmly walked to the door of the ward. Jiang Guanyu quickly said, "You didn't need to leave. After all, we are family here."
Although Jiang Guanyu said that, he didn't stop the Old Man.
Only after Old Man Xian had left did Zhan Lian finally step forward. She glanced at Xian Zihao and then at Jiang Ruolan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and who was obviously too much of a hindrance to her eyes.
Zhan Lian looked at Xian Zihao and wanted him to invite Jiang Ruolan out as well.
However, Xian Zihao pretended not to understand her actions. He just smiled and glanced at Zhan Lian. "Aunt Lian's eyes are not comfortable?"
Immediately, Zhan Lian awkwardly lifted her hand to stroke her hair.
"That… Zihao, how is your mother these days?"
"My mother?" Xian Zihao smiled faintly, and his beautiful eyebrows raised slightly. "She is in pretty good condition. She should go to the market with Nanny Cheng now."
"Oh, as long as she's in good shape, then it's fine. I'm worried she might feel worried because of your condition." Zhan Lian immediately laughed and her tone became more relaxed.
Xian Zihao then laughed innocently, "It's not like you don't know my mother. Her heart is too big and even though she should be angry, she can still think about it more deeply. Furthermore, she never did anything shameful in her life. However, Aunt Lian's face doesn't look too good. You probably haven't slept well in these few days, right?"
Xian Zihao's innocent words made Jiang Ruolan unable to hold back her laughter. Because her back was facing Jiang Guanyu and Zhan Lian, they didn't notice a change in her expression.
Jiang Ruolan only smiled for a moment before hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand.
She raised her eyes to look at Xian Zihao and saw that he was still calmly glancing at the couple with a smile that was not a smile.
It was unknown if Jiang Guanyu and Zhan Lian heard the sarcasm in Xian Zihao's words. Jiang Guanyu chuckled and changed the topic. "Zihao, it seems you are in good spirits now."
Zhan Lian also agreed. "That's right. No matter what happens, you have to take care of yourself first!"
"It was just a small wound, I didn't expect Aunt Lian and Uncle would come here to visit." As he spoke, Xian Zihao's hand gently pressed Jiang Ruolan's hand that was still peeling the apple. He looked at her and said softly, "Aren't your hands tired? Idiot, the most nutritious way to eat an apple is along with the skin."
Jiang Ruolan's mouth twitched as she whispered, "I'm afraid your stomach still can't accept hard food. After all, you haven't eaten in a few days."
Xian Zihao just smiled and calmly took the apple in her hand, not letting her peel it anymore. After that, he looked at Jiang Guanyu with a happy smile, "Uncle, have you been busy lately?"
Seeing that Xian Zihao clearly didn't intend to change the topic, Jiang Guanyu hesitated for a moment. Then Zhan Lian walked forward and said with a smile, "Zihao, we came to H City this time for two reasons. One is to see you. Two … We know the father of the perpetrator, but don't worry, we aren't here to plead for them. In fact, the mastermind behind this is the son of a board member of our company. He is a good friend to Bingqing. That kid is too young and too hot-tempered. Perhaps it was because he's a good friend to Bingqing, so he took responsibility and did some outrageous things for her."
"But you have to believe that this matter definitely has nothing to do with Bingqing and us! If something happens to that brat right now, he will probably hold a grudge against Bingqing and maybe he will implicate her when he confesses."
"Bingqing is your cousin and even if she doesn't understand anything in the past few years and is immature, she will definitely not do all this, let alone, the one who is hurt this time is you, Zihao."
After saying this, Zhan Lian took a banana and gave it to Jiang Ruolan, "Ruolan, you also look haggard recently. Don't just spend your time taking care of Zihao. You have to take care of your own body too. You're a mother now. Here, eat more fruits."
