Chapter 428 – Cui Luixian’s Ending VI
Jiang Ruolan was about to raise her head, however, Xian Zihao firmly held her head on his chest.
Since the photos had been thrown out, there was no point for her to hide now. However, the Old Man's reaction was like he already knew about it. If the Old Man minded about it, he would have minded it a long time ago!
Jiang Ruolan suddenly remembered that there were some black-and-white photos of two women eating with a group of people at a table. She just glanced at it and remembered that Cui Liuxian mentioned her mother and Jia Zhenzhen, so she wanted to see it again.
However, Xian Zihao firmly held her head, not allowing her to look anywhere else.
"Before you clearly saw Cui Liuxian's true face, you were actually still biased towards her in your heart."
Jiang Yijun's words were sharp, but the Old Man didn't refute them. He just looked at Jiang Ruolan and sighed, "Spoiled girl, grandfather was wrong."
Jiang Ruolan finally raised her head, but she didn't look at the photos; instead, she looked at the earnest Old Man, thinking that he was very old, yet he would apologize to her like this for such a trivial matter.
Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but smile emotionally, "Grandpa, I understand. It's not a big deal because nothing happened. Plus, now that I can be considered a treasure in your heart, that's enough for me."
The Old Man nodded, "Good child, in the future, grandfather will no longer believe the rumors spread about you."
With that, Old Man Xian turned his head and looked at the pale-faced Cui Liuxian. "Especially when the rumors come from Cui Liuxian! Grandpa has let you live free without any punishment for too long! You really don't know what's good for you! Do you want the Xian Family to chase you away, or do you want to pack up and leave by yourself!"
Cui Liuxian was silent for a moment, trying her best to look calm. She gritted her teeth and suddenly looked at Jiang Ruolan, who was being hugged by Xian Zihao with a cold look. "You! Your mother, Zhou Qingling, is just like Jia Zhenzhen! Don't think too highly of yourself!"
After saying that, she looked at Xian Zihao with a cold smile. "Also, Xian Zihao, you know exactly who forced Zhou Qingling to commit suicide. I've already told you that nothing good will happen between you and Jiang Ruolan and you don't believe it! Hahahaha! Using selfish feelings to tie a woman who has a grudge against the Xian Family, what intentions do you have?"
"Cui Liuxian!" Without waiting for Xian Zihao to speak, the Old Man suddenly shouted, "You want all my feelings for you all these years to completely disappear in one night, don't you?!"
Cui Liuxian shrugged and started laughing madly, "Hahahahahaha! Grandpa, I've already reached this step. How much of a difference would it make if you started hating me. It's already like this, do you think I care?"
Cui Liuxian suddenly knelt down with unexpected speed and reached for a photo from a pile of photos that Xian Zihao had kicked. She held it in front of Jiang Ruolan. "Look! This is the photo of Zhou Qingling and Jia Zhenzhen from back then. These two women–"
Before Cui Liuxian could complete her sentence, her heart suddenly froze because of Xian Zihao's calm but threatening expression.
Jiang Ruolan was startled for a moment, but she did not become angry. Instead, she remained eerily quiet as she looked at Cui Liuxian with an indifferent gaze.
Jiang Ruolan didn't pay attention to Xian Zihao and Cui Liuxian's expressions, she just looked at the photo in front of her. The two women in the photo were indeed Jia Zhenzhen and her mother. These two women were sitting at a table with heavy make-up on their faces, and there's a man next to them. That man was Xian Jian.
Jiang Ruolan knew about Jia Zhenzhen's relationship with Xian Jian, but how could her mother have anything to do with these things?
Jiang Ruolan was a little confused. She remembered what Cui Liuxian had just said and raised her head to look at her (Cui Liuxian).
Cui Liuxian held up the photo and said no other words. She just looked at her with a threatening look and taunted Xian Zihao, who was behind her.
Jiang Ruolan was about to face Xian Zihao when Cui Liuxian, who was standing in front of her, threw the photo to the ground.
Her red eyes were filled with tears, and a smirk formed on her lips. It was a desperate smile on the face of a loser who was about to compromise.
It was ice-cold and filled with hatred and unwillingness.
"No matter what, I still lost." Cui Liuxian suddenly said calmly. After that, she raised her head and clenched her fists on both sides of her body. She turned around and walked along the corridor, heading towards the stairs.
Jiang Ruolan stood there without saying a word, her head lowered as she looked at the picture on the floor suspiciously.
At this moment, Xian Zihao hugged her again and patted her shoulder. "Ruolan, don't let your thoughts go wild."
Zhan An continued to talk, "Ruolan must have been in shock. She just climbed down from the balcony earlier with her big stomach. Zihao, help her. Let Nanny Cheng prepare some warm juice and let her drink it to calm down."
No one noticed and paid attention to Cui Liuxian, who was planning to leave. However, when Cui Liuxian heard everyone's indifference and attention towards Jiang Ruolan, her footsteps stopped. When Xian Zihao walked past her with Jiang Ruolan in his arms, Cui Liuxian slowly raised her head and looked at the pair of figures in front of her.
"I have already come to this far …" Suddenly, Cui Liuxian opened her mouth and said in a low voice, "What should I be afraid of?"
Just as she finished her sentences, Jiang Ruolan stopped in her tracks. She looked back at Cui Liuxian hesitantly. She didn't understand what Cui Liuxian meant by that.
Could there actually be something in those photos now?
As she thought about it, Xian Zihao patted her shoulder calmly. "Let's go down first. Don't stand here. It's not safe standing by the stairs."
Jiang Ruolan thought about it calmly and nodded, not saying anything more.
Just as they were both about to descend the stairs, Cui Liuxian, who had a cold expression, suddenly ran forward. Taking advantage of their lack of awareness, she forcibly pushed Jiang Ruolan's back with her hands and hissing loudly as if she was enjoying something, "Jiang Ruolan, go to hell!"
"Cui Liuxian! What are you doing?!"
Jiang Yijun rushed forward to stop her, but it was already too late.
"Ruolan!"
"Spoiled girl!"
Old Man Xian and Zhan An couldn't help but scream in shock.
"Ahh!" Jiang Ruolan had not expected Cui Liuxian to be so desperate. Xian Zihao had been holding her gently, so in that instant, she slipped and fell down the stairs.
"Ruolan!" Xian Zihao's voice was heard, and in just a few moments, a ringing sound and everyone's alarm cries were heard.
"Hahahahahaha, Jiang Ruolan, you forced me to the point where I had no other choice. You should go and die too! Go to hell! Go to hell!"
Cui Liuxian stood on the stairs and laughed madly, but her eyes filled with tears.
And at that moment, Xian Zihao suddenly ignored the stairs in front of him and the wound on his body that was just about to heal. He immediately rushed down before Jiang Ruolan fell to the ground. He grabbed her hand and protected her with his body before they both fell.
However, they were on the second floor. The moment he protected her, the two of them uncontrollably fall down the stairs. Xian Zihao muttered a prayer under his breath.
On the other side, the Old Man was already startling beyond everyone's expectations when he threw down his cane and rushed downstairs. As the two of them hugged each other and were falling, the Old Man used his body to block them, minimizing their injuries.
"Dad!"
"Grandfather!"
"Ah!
