My Little Sweet Wife

Chapter 88 - Confrontation III

Chapter 88 - Confrontation III

Since he was not her father, she had no right or reason to rebuke at him. Thus, Jiang Ruolan calmly lowered her bloodshot eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice, "I didn't push her, nor did I steal something from her. Whether you believe it or not, I don't care."

With that, she pushed the necklace into Zhan An's hand. Jiang Ruolan took a deep breath as she forced herself to remain rational. She quickly turned around to leave the house that she felt was like hell.

"Scram! Scram far away! Our Xian Family does not welcome such a vicious woman like you!" Xian Jian cursed angrily.

"Xian Jian!" Although Zhan An didn't stop Jiang Ruolan, she still felt her husband was too much.

The old man had long rushed upstairs with Cui Liuxian.

Xian Zihao just stood there, looking at Jiang Ruolan's red eyes. He wanted to hear an explanation from her.

Just as she walked out the door, he finally frowned and shouted in a low voice, "Wait."

Jiang Ruolan acting as if she didn't hear him and walked out mechanically step by step. The coldness in Xian Zihao's eyes gradually increased as he lifted his feet and walked towards her.

"Zihao, stop right there!" Seeing that he dared to keep the woman, Xian Jian shouted and glared at him.

Xian Zihao only paused for a moment before looking at Xian Jian who was about to explode, "This matter has yet to be proven. Your slap not only hit your daughter-in-law but also my face!! Just based on Cui Liuxian's words alone, you convicted Ruolan. Which family's law does this belong to?"

"You!" Xian Jian roared in anger.

Xian Zihao had already turned around and walked out, "Jiang Ruolan, stop right there!"

Jiang Ruolan was lost in her own thoughts. She hadn't heard the voices behind her. Suddenly, she was stopped by someone. She staggered and quickly stabilized her body. She slowly turned her head and looked doubtfully at Xian Zihao, who had a little bit of coldness in his eyes.

Why was his expression so cold?

Was it because he also believes in Cui Liuxian's words? The anger and humiliation from his father and Old Man Xian were not enough.

Did he also want to give her another slap?

Jiang Ruolan smirked as she hid her sadness. "If you don't believe me, I can accept it. I accepted this slap from your father because he is an elder. But Xian Zihao, before we know the truth, I hope you can at least give this nominal wife of yours some dignity."

Xian Zihao just looked at her and pursed his lips in silence.

Jiang Ruolan took a deep breath. "Since you are my husband, can you turn off your car identification system and lend me your car keys? This place is too far away from the city and if I wanted to walk back, I'm afraid it would be impossible. You want me to leave too right?"

Seeing that Xian Zihao was doing nothing, Jiang Ruolan smiled helplessly. She forcefully pulled her wrist away from his grip and walked briskly.

She had only taken a few steps before her wrist was pulled back with a slight tug. She looked back to face his cold face.

"Since you didn't do it, what's the point of leaving?" His voice was neither loud nor low, but it was like a drop of sweet spring water that had long since seeped into her heart and numbed it.

Jiang Ruolan was stunned. The anger in her eyes gradually faded as she looked at him stiffly. "You … Believe in me?" She stared at his eyes with disbelief.

"I do."?Xian Zihao let go of her wrist and caressed her red and swollen face. The wrinkles on his forehead and the coldness in his eyes were clearly not due to her.

His slender but warm fingers caressed her face gently. Jiang Ruolan hissed in pain. "Dad was angry and he was an impatient person. Even mom couldn't stand his temper, so let's talk about it after Cui Liuxian woke up."

"You will blame me when she wakes up?"

Xian Zihao ignored her words. He immediately turned around and walked back to the door, while saying indifferently, "You do not need to leave, even if you want to leave, I will accompany you. Jiang Ruolan, we're husband and wife, understand?"

She did.

She did believe him.

Because they were husband and wife.

Even in her dream, she never thought that Xian Zihao would believe her. In fact, she had long predicted that Cui Liuxian might cause problems so that she would not have a place in the Xian Family.

Otherwise, why would Cui Liuxian drag her to the pool?

Jiang Ruolan knew that no matter how she explained, no one would believe her. That's why she didn't want to waste her breath and make herself look even more shameful. What's the use of explaining everything when no one believes you.

However, what she didn't expect was … Xian Zihao's trust on her.

Realizing there was no movement from her, Xian Zihao, who was about to enter the house, glanced at her and said, "Come with me."

Although she wasn't very willing, but…

Jiang Ruolan touched her face and showed her grievance. She imitated Cui Liuxian's gentle voice and said, "Brother Zihao,?my face hurts a lot. I was accused of stealing your adopted sister's engagement ring and then my face was slapped too."

The latter's face immediately turned black. Xian Zihao grabbed her hand and pulled her into the house.

Jiang Ruolan noticed a young woman dressed very fashionable standing in front of the door with her arms crossed and gave her (Jiang Ruolan)?a faint smile.

The smile in Jiang Ruolan''s eyes faded as she heard Xian Zihao said, "Guiying, stay here with your sister-in-law. I'll go take a look."

The young woman standing in front of the door nodded in agreement. Her gaze once again landed on Jiang Ruolan's face, causing her to feel a little anxious.

The person in front of her was Xian Zihao's sister, Xian Guiying?

That Xian Guiying, who had been helping him manage the Xian's Enterprise all these years?

By this time, Xian Jian and Zhan An were no longer in the living room. They should have gone to check on Cui Liuxian's condition.?Xian Zihao went upstairs and left Jiang Ruolan with his sister.

Wasn't Xian Guiying, the granddaughter of Old Man Xian? Why did she take so long to return to Xian Residence?

"Why are you standing there? Come in and sit down. I'm not my father, I won't hit you." Xian Guiying expressionlessly walked to the middle of the living room to sit.

Her wavy chestnut curly hair hanging down behind her. She was dressed in the latest and most fashionable casual female attire and was dressed in dark style clothes.

Jiang Ruolan didn't expect Xian Zihao''s sister to be such a cold beauty. She was stunned for a moment, then returned to her senses and walked inside.

She sat in the sandalwood chair across from her and watched as Xian Guiying took the fruit plate on the tea table and inserted the pineapple slices into her mouth one by one with a toothpick. As she ate, she raised his head to look at her (Jiang Ruolan).

"Such a change in fortune, I am far away from this family. Now, there is another person in this family who will be the place to vent their anger. Today, Cui Liuxian was playing the part where she lost her life. No one can blame my dad for trusting her so much. Who would risk their life on something like this? " Xian Guiying's smile was rather cold.

Jiang Ruolan was surprised.

"You saw it too, right?" Xian Guiying took a tissue and wiped her hand.

She was looking at the confused Jiang Ruolan. "I grew up in a situation like this. I was obviously a person with a Xian surname, but I, the Second Miss of the Xian Family, always bullied the adopted daughter."

"The adopted daughter became a precious daughter of the Xian Family. No one was as obedient as her. No one was as pitiful as her. No one was worthy of the old man's love other than her."

Xian Guiying's voice was neither warm nor cold. There was no sour tone in her voice. She was very calm as if she was narrating a story.

She would rather live in Boston to help her brother manage his business than return to the Xian Family.

Jiang Ruolan could tell that this Xian Guiying was a very strong woman. She vaguely remembered hearing that Xian Guiying was twenty-six years old, and when she went to Boston, she hadn't graduated from university.

If her guess was correct, it should be Xian Zihao, who arranged Xian Guiying to follow him back to Boston.

The scene at the pool earlier was also clearly seen by Xian Jian and Xian Guiying who were both sitting in the car.

Both of them could clearly see the situation from the same angle.

People were always like this, they only believed what they were willing to believe.

Therefore, Xian Jian believed in Cui Liuxian. Although Xian Guiying didn't seem to like Jiang Ruolan's sudden appearance, she still believed her.
