Jiang Ruolan's urgent cry caused his lips to stop nearer hers, his deep gaze firmly locking onto her eyes. After a long time, as if he had finally recovered his consciousness, Jiang Yijun suddenly retreated and released her.
Jiang Ruolan immediately ran and left the room without looking back. She only stopped running once at the hotel entrance. She looked up at the sky. The color of the sky had changed. It's nearly evening now.
'Why is this happening…'
While driving towards the company, Jiang Ruolan passed the Ling Group. She unconsciously glanced at the building and suddenly saw that disgusting Wei Donghai, smiling as he got in the red BMW.
Jiang Ruolan narrowed her eyes and looked at the red BMW in the distance hesitantly. After thinking for a while, she decided to follow the car.
Since Wei Donghai suddenly became the Ling Group's head manager, his backer must be truly not small. She wanted to see who this bastard's backer was.
Jiang Ruolan followed the red BMW within nearly a distance and noticed the car stopped at a coffee shop two streets away from the Ling Group. She parked her car 100 meters away from the red BMW. She stood behind a potted plant with luxuriant leaves and starred in the direction of the coffee shop.
Without needing to get close, she was able to see the young woman wearing sunglasses walking out from the driver seat of the BMW.
That was … Jiang Bingqing …
Jiang Family naturally could not be underestimated in the business world. Due to her family's connections, Jiang Bingqing could easily promote a nobody to be a Ling Group manager.
After seeing Jiang Bingqing, Jiang Ruolan finally understood what was going on. Her hand tightened around the potted leaves as she looked at Wei Donghai, who was following behind Jiang Bingqing with a respectful and submissive expression.
It seemed that he had done a lot of things for Jiang Bingqing. In recent years, Jiang Bingqing's connections had grown more and more, so perhaps Wei Donghai was not the only one she had helped.
Jiang Ruolan suddenly wanted to laugh, but her heart was in turmoil.
After so many years, the seemingly brainless Jiang Bingqing was actually able to cultivate so many forces and methods under her hands. No wonder she knew everything so quickly. Could it be that Wei Donghai was an informant to keep an eye on her, or … It's just a simple promotion?
From a young age, Jiang Bingqing had been influenced by Zhan Lian to be an ambitious and tricky person. At such a young age, she already knew how to pave the way for herself, and she could even make use of Jiang Family's wealth to do many things.
Jiang Ruolan didn't know whether to find Jiang Bingqing laughable or terrifying.
However, just as she was about to turn around and leave, she caught sight of two men staring at her from the corner of her eye. When she turned around, the two men turned around as if it was just her imagination.
Jiang Ruolan paused for a moment as Xiong Ruogang's figure flashed through her mind. She hurriedly called her, and only after confirming that Xiong Ruogang was alright, did she heave a sigh of relief.
Seeing these two, Jiang Ruolan immediately remembered that Xian Zihao had once said that if she found anyone around her suspicious, she had to tell him quickly.
Right now, Jiang Ruolan wasn't sure whether those two men were really following her or it was just a coincidence.
Jiang Ruolan glanced at her watch and hurriedly went to her car, drove to Xian Group.
When she arrived at Xian Group, Assistant Bai told her that Xian Zihao was not in the company and had left two hours ago.
When she called Xian Zihao to ask where he was, he paused, just for a moment, but it was long enough for her to guess what he was doing.
Jiang Ruolan went to the children's hospital and saw Xian Zihao's car parked by the road's side. He stood beside the car and waited for her with a calm expression.
It wasn't until Jiang Ruolan saw Zhou Shufen walking out of the hospital with Little Fishie in tow that she admitted she had felt as if thousands of knives had stabbed her heart.
Xian Zihao walked to greet her. He did not let her go near Xiaoyi and Zhou Shufen. He immediately explained in a soft voice, "Recently, this child's flu became serious. Xiaoyi suddenly got a high fever at Senior Zhou's place. Senior Zhou called me for help." He calmed her down softly as if he didn't want her misunderstood.
Jiang Ruolan looked at him and said nothing.
Xian Zihao put his arm around her. "Ruolan."
Little Fishie was standing beside Zhou Shufen's legs, her chubby arms tightly hugging Zhou Shufen's legs. However, her large eyes were staring in their direction, blinking in confusion. Then, she continued to stare at Xian Zihao's back, and her small white face filled with a happy smile.
When Little Fishie saw Xian Zihao, she looked so happy as if she was a daughter seeing her father. The smile in her eyes made Jiang Ruolan speechless.
Jiang Ruolan pursed her lips and smiled.
However, her smile instantly froze once she heard Little Fishie's words.
Xiaoyi stood beside Zhou Shufen, gently tugging at her mother's skirt in puzzlement and shouting, "Mommy, didn't you say we will go to the cafeteria with daddy? Little Fishie wanted pudding and pineapple!"
Zhou Shufen didn't say anything. She bent down to pick up Little Fishie, walked over to Xian Zihao, and stood behind him. She looked at Jiang Ruolan and said, "I wasn't at the hotel during the day, and Xiaoyi was playing in my grandfather's room when she suddenly had a high fever. Because in H City, my grandfather trusted Zihao more, so he called him and asked him to bring Xiaoyi to the hospital. I also just arrived."
Zhou Shufen's explanation finally attracted Jiang Ruolan's attention, but she (Jiang Ruolan) only lightly glanced at her before turning to Xian Zihao and said, "Xian Zihao, if it's really me who intervened in this mess and delayed anything, and you're too embarrassed to speak to me about it, then please give me a clear sentence! If you are truly willing to follow me down this path, then don't display your love and grandeur here!"
Jiang Ruolan didn't have time to fight, but her marriage and life also had its own dignity! She also had her bottom line!
Xian Zihao frowned as he held her gently, pulling her body to his embrace. With a strict look of worry in his eyes, he said, "Let's go back first."
His thin lips pursed slightly, his eyes fixed on her, open and sincere and earnest.
"Miss Jiang, don't blame Zihao. It was my grandfather who asked for his help. Zihao only–." Zhou Shufen interrupted from the side.
Zhou Shufen didn't know that Jiang Ruolan was waiting for her to say this.
"Miss Zhou." Jiang Ruolan pushed Xian Zihao away and slowly walked towards her. Her gaze was calm. "This is the entrance to the children's hospital, not the entrance to the Bureau of Civil Affairs, where the divorce procedure is conducted! What is your position, may I ask, to say that? If you want to defend someone, you have to do it when he doesn't have a wife, right?"
