"Where did all this nonsense come from? Hurry up and get in the car." Xian Zihao glanced at her as if he was impatient, but there was a small smile in his eyes.
Xian Guiying pursed her lips and said mockingly, "It must be because my sister-in-law wanted to pick me up, otherwise, you wouldn't have come!"
After receiving Xian Zihao's mischievous glance, Xian Guiying smiled and got into the car.
As soon as Xian Guiying sat in the car, Jiang Ruolan looked at her in the rearview mirror. She glanced at her loose sportswear and remembered what happened two months ago during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
She took advantage of the time Xian Zihao got in the car to look at Xian Guiying's stomach in the rearview mirror. Because of her loose clothes, she couldn't see anything, but …
Did Xian Guiying want to keep everyone in the dark just like that?
Xian Zihao returned to the car, and after a while, the car was driven out of the airport like an arrow that had left a bow.
"Brother, why did you suddenly send Brother Fang to Boston and tell him to take over the company's affairs? Do you not trust my ability?" Xian Guiying put her bag on the side and lazily leaned against the back seat.
It was only now that Jiang Ruolan realized that Xian Guiying would get rid of her cold and arrogant attitude when she was with Xian Zihao. She had no sense of pride at all.
Xian Zihao looked at the road ahead with indifference. "Other than Qin Gengxin, he's the only one who can make me feel at ease. If I don't let him take over, you will definitely not go home."
"Isn't the old man just celebrating his birthdays?" Xian Guiying tilted her head and snickered. "How many years has it been since the last time I came back? If it weren't for me wanting to meet my new sister-in-law two months ago, I wouldn't even have bothered to take a step into the Xian Residence! If that old man really cared whether I'd come back or not, why wait till now? Why are you the one who had to tell me to come back? Those people already have a happy life even without me there."
"Those people?" Xian Zihao's voice was cold. "Isn't your surname is Xian too?"
Xian Guiying snorted coldly, "So what if my surname is Xian? It wasn't as good as Cui! Anyway, if it weren't for you and sister-in-law, I wouldn't bother to come back this time."
Jiang Ruolan was just quietly listening to the conversation between the two siblings. She did not want to interrupt, but seeing Xian Zihao's unhappy face, she had to open her mouth and tried to alleviate their fights. "Guiying ~"
Jiang Ruolan looked back and smiled at Xian Guiying. "We'll go back to Xian Residence tomorrow. Do you want to stay with us tonight?"
"No, I don't want to bother both of you." Xian Guiying replied half-jokingly, but she also seemed to be used to treating herself as someone who was not taken seriously. Her eyes were calm and her voice was clear and cold. "I'll stay at the hotel."
"You don't want to try my cooking?" Jiang Ruolan tried to persuade her. "Even your brother has a new level of respect for my culinary skills. Wouldn't you like to try it too?"
Xian Guiying forced a smile on her face, but she did not waver, "No need, I will stay at the hotel."
For a moment, Jiang Ruolan sensed that Xian Guiying had seen through her intentions and understood her good intentions. However, she purposefully rejected this kind of intention. It was as it made her feel she was being pitied and comforted.
That was why she rejected the offer so straightforwardly.
Noticing Xian Zihao's gaze on her, Jiang Ruolan turned around and saw him looking back at her. The look in his eyes was telling her that this trick wouldn't work on Xian Guiying. He was telling her not to waste her breath.
"Sister-in-law, don't you see how calm my brother is?" Xian Guiying suddenly changed the topic with a smile. "He can't do anything to me now because he's too lazy to bother with me. When I was young, I was the only one who could make his hair stand on end."
"Are you for real? Xian Zihao had a temper too?" Jiang Ruolan looked at Xian Zihao in disbelief, while the latter's face darkened by half.
"Of course, but you can't be too obedient or too rational in order to make my brother explode. You have to use reverse thinking, and if you intentionally anger him, he won't be angry, but will still be able to beat you half to death. You have to push him to that point bit by bit inadvertently." Xian Guiying gently pushed strands of hair behind her ear, then continued to share her precious experience.
"When we were young, he always protected Cui Liuxian, so I definitely would run to mom and tell her about it with tears."
"My brother has always received love letters, chocolates, and the like at school since he was eleven years old, but he always ignored them. Some of the girls would also suddenly appear in front of him and hand him the folded love letters, but he never took them. When I found out later on, I always stuck to him. Whenever I saw a girl sending a love letter or something delicious, I would accept it for him."
"Afterwards, those girls found me very easy to talk to. They always gave me chocolates and also had me deliver those love letters. I put those love letters in my bag and took them home, reading them out loud in front of my parents and grandfather."
"Then, there was one time when a particularly overbearing girl blocked my brother's way and insisted on asking him if he had read her love letter. My brother directly bypassed her and left, but that girl actually entangled him and held onto him like a koala. At that time, my brother looked at that girl like she was a monster. I sympathized with her, so I went to her and said that my brother already read her love letter. He really likes you and you are going to be my sister-in-law."
"And then? What happened next?" Jiang Ruolan listened with relish.
"Then, my brother immediately became angry. He said, 'Xian. Guiying! If you continue to act rashly, I'll sell you out!" Xian Guiying imitated Xian Zihao's voice, and her expression also was abnormally vivid.
Jiang Ruolan immediately covered her mouth with her hands. She was laughing so hard that tears came out of her eyes. When she turned to look at Xian Zihao, she saw the helplessness in his eyes.
"However, when my brother went to Boston to further his study, I didn't see him again for a few years. Later on, I stayed in the United States and worked in Xian Corporation for two years. During that time, my brother was especially strict with me. Every time I saw him, I couldn't help but secretly cursed him."
"Hmm? You cursing me?" Xian Zihao suddenly interrupted.
Xian Guiying: "…."
She just realized Xian Zihao was also in the car.
