Chapter 333 - Suspicious Jiang Yijun

Jiang Ruolan's eyelids twitched as she began to have a bad hunch. She looked at the Old Man quietly.

"Since when did Yijun find out about his background?"

"Maybe ... It was in the year when I just entered university. In my opinion, Yijun's behavior changed a bit that year, but I'm not sure when exactly."

Old Man Xian narrowed his eyes and turned his head to look out the window. He looked gloomy and asked in a low voice that only she could hear. "Does he know about his mother?"

Jiang Ruolan was stunned as she raised her head to look at the Old Man in surprise. He actually mentioned to her things that no one else had ever talked about. It was quite a surprise to her.

"Grandfather, even though Yijun grew up with me, the path he took and including his world were always very simple. In the beginning, he didn't even know his own background. I think... He hasn't had any opportunities to come into contact with anything related to his mother." Jiang Ruolan hesitated, not sure if she should say it or not, but when she saw the Old Man's eyes, she still whispered in the end, "I heard from Zihao that Yijun's mother had been sent to the United States due to her mental illness."

The Old Man looked at her seriously for a moment, then smiled and added a little warning in his voice, "Spoiled girl, because you already know about it, then this Old Man won't hide it from you either. However, this is something that happened twenty years ago. and when you mention it, this Old Man suddenly suspects something now."

"What did grandpa suspect?"

"You say that Yijun has lived with you since he was young. His world has always been very simple, and even the people who have interacted with him have nothing to do with what happened more than twenty years ago. So how did he know about his background?" Old Man Xian paused, then continued. "A few days ago I had a long conversation with him. This child has accepted his identity as the grandson of the Xian Family and is willing to stay here to accompany this Old Man. I am very happy. He said he only knew his background from an old butler in the Jiang Family. and after that, he found some information along the way, but he wasn't sure for years, so he didn't care very much about it."

Jiang Ruolan listened to the Old Man as she lifted the thin blanket to his lap, not interrupting him.

Old Man Xian went on to say, "Although his words make sense, but recently I have sent someone to investigate and find out that the old butler had died a few years ago. Moreover, he died in the year you left the Jiang Family. That is to say, Yijun had known his identity for a long time and deliberately hid it from anyone. He took advantage of the fact that the old butler died to lie. Even though I am old, I still have a hunch as to whether that thing is right or not. Tell grandpa, did Yijun have any contact with suspicious people that year?"

Jiang Ruolan never suspected that Jiang Yijun knew his background in advance and never thought of investigating it. Plus, he's always by her side, and she knew what sort of character he had, so she naturally won't overthink it. However, the Old Man's words made her heart jump.

Noticing Jiang Ruolan's faint astonishment, Old Man Xian cast her a sidelong glance and sighed. "You don't even know?"

"Grandpa, maybe Yijun remembered the wrong time." Jiang Ruolan whispered. At least, she never thought that Jiang Yijun would deliberately hide anything from her.

But after she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered the words Jiang Yijun had said that day in front of her house's door.

Old Man Xian patted his hands and said, "Alright, spoiled girl, you don't have to think too much about him. Grandpa is too concerned about this child because I want to fill the twenty years of love and family emptiness he has experienced. Grandpa has a lot to worry about. Since you are not clear about that, then just forget."

For some reason, Jiang Ruolan felt there was something behind the Old Man's words. It seems that if she knew too much about Jiang Yijun, that would make the Old Man unhappy.

Could it be that the Old Man remembered what Cui Liuxian had said at this New Year's Eve dinner?

"Ruolan, you are here! Eh, what is this?" At this moment, Zhan An was walking down the stairs. When she saw Jiang Ruolan, she smiled at her, then her eyes immediately drifted towards the beautiful box on the table. She could not refrain from asking as she walked down the stairs.

Jiang Ruolan stood up and looked at the table as well.

"Ruolan, what did you bring back?" Zhan An took the box. She weighed it in her hand and opened it to see. She saw that there were nine small boxes in the box. "It's quite fragrant ~"

"Mom, I came back in a hurry and did not have time to bring anything. I saw this box was already on this table when I entered." Jiang Ruolan walked with a smile and also looked at a box containing fragrant perfume.

This delicate box was filled with nine small boxes of fragrant perfume. It smells fragrant because it came from a foreign country. Jiang Ruolan rarely touched these things, so she couldn't help but lower her head to smell them.

However, when she was about to smell it, Zhan An suddenly moved the box slightly to the side and carefully said, "Wait, Ruolan, you can't smell all these fragrant things. What if there is musk? Mom has heard and read that musk is not good for pregnant women. There may be musk in this spice. You are pregnant now, so don't smell these things. Mom feared it will affect your body."

Jiang Ruolan could not help but be cautious when she heard that. She chuckled and said, "Mom, fortunately, I have you here. I usually don't even notice this thing."

"This is the first time you are pregnant. As expected, it is still up to us, seniors, to keep an eye on you." Zhan An smiled and shook her head.

The Old Man suddenly opened his mouth, "The box was brought by Liuxian's friend who had just returned from India. When she brought it back this morning, I was worried there might be something bad in it that would affect Ruolan and the child, so I asked Dr. Li to come and check it. My action really made Liuxian angry and she threw the box there."

"Dr. Li had check it, there's no substance that could cause an abortion in the box. It is just some soothing Indian incense. Young girls nowadays love this weird foreign thing, I was wrong about it this time. Liuxian might be sulking in the room right now!"

"This is also a good thing. Liuxian, after all, grew up in the Xian Family and she has been really willful recently. Look Ruolan, for your sake, the Old Man is vigilant about everything in this house. He's afraid the child might cause you trouble." Zhan An smiled, sniffed the perfume again, then handed the box to Ruolan. "Look, there are nine different colors here, and the smell is also varied. No wonder, young women like this now."

Jiang Ruolan was about to take a look when she heard Cui Liuxian's resentful voice from the stairs, "Jiang Ruolan, take your dirty hands away. Don't touch my things!"
