"You knew all this from the beginning?" she asked.
Jiang Yijun looked at her for a long time before he shook his head and said, "What is the truth? To be honest, I'm not sure at all. If you want to know, you can either ask Xian Zihao, or you can ask Jia Zhenzhen yourself."
There was something in Jiang Yijun's words that made Jiang Ruolan even more confused. She looked at him suspiciously while he picked up the fruit basket on the table and casually picked up the fruit.
At this moment, the commotion came from outside the door. Jiang Yijun and Jiang Ruolan looked at each other, then he got up and opened the door to the ward. He saw Zhan An rushing out.
Seeing the door open, Zhan An said to Jiang Yijun anxiously, "Zihao is still not back. Cui Liuxian is outside the hospital, and Guiying went down to see. But I heard there is a problem downstairs. I'm worried Guiying is in trouble, so I'll go take a look first. You stay here with Ruolan!"
Jiang Yijun paused, "I will go down to take a look."
"But Ruolan, she …"
When Jiang Ruolan heard something happened to Xian Guiying, she hurriedly stood up and walked to the door, "Mom, I'm fine. I didn't have any injuries on my body, as long as nothing happened to my stomach, I will be fine. How's Guiying? What happened?"
"Sigh, it's a long story. Cui Liuxian is the culprit for whatever grievance Guiying had suffered. She always disliked her since she was young. Seeing that Cui Liuxian was still causing problems even now, she immediately went down to chase her out. In the end, things were out of hand. Guiying will be in labor in a month or so, I'm afraid something will happen to her."
Zhan An said anxiously while sighing.
"Didn't Cui Liuxian was kicked out yesterday?"
"Yes, she did. Everyone's been busy taking care of you and the Old Man in the hospital for the past few days. We let Old Li and the others keep watch over her until you and the Old Man are discharged. Only then we can punish her properly, but who would have thought she ran out by herself last night! I don't know which bar she stayed at, but I heard that when she comes here today, her body is reeking of alcohol." Zhan An shook her head. "What more does she want to do?"
Hearing her words, it seemed that the Xian Family was really going to deal with Cui Liuxian. Jiang Ruolan only pondered for a moment before pushing Jiang Yijun out. "Quickly go down and take a look. Don't let anything happen to Guiying!"
Jiang Yijun nodded and nudged Jiang Ruolan. "Go back and lie down first, I'll be right back."
After that, he hurriedly walked downstairs with Zhan An.
Jiang Ruolan hesitated whether she should go down and take a look. After thinking for a moment, she opened the window and looked down. She noticed that people already surrounded the colored walkway in front of the hospital, and several flower beds were lined with people standing on the side of the road.
After a while, Jiang Yijun came out of the hospital and pushed through the crowd. Only then did Jiang Ruolan see Xian Guiying. She paused, unable to comprehend what was going on below. This can't be good. She needed to go down as well and take a look.
"Mrs. Xian, are you going out?" As Jiang Ruolan was about to enter the elevator, a nurse passed by and looked at her. She couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Jiang Ruolan stopped walking and smiled. "The weather isn't bad today. I don't think there will be a problem if I take a walk."
"I just heard that it's quite chaotic down there. Be careful, don't let yourself get injured." The nurse nodded, "The weather is good, so it's good to go for a walk, but don't take too long."
Jiang Ruolan was relieved to hear the nurse say that. She entered the elevator, and when she reached the first floor, she finally heard a commotion outside.
Jiang Ruolan hurriedly walked out, only to hear a group of spectators discuss what had just happened.
"This woman is actually the adopted child of the Xian Family. The Xian Family is very large and has a high status in our city, but their family members are usually too low-key. I heard that President Xian was the grandson of the Old General and this woman seems to be a mistress."
Just then, screams came out of the crowd, "Who's Little San¹? You bastard!"
It was Cui Liuxian's voice.
Jiang Ruolan frowned and pushed through the crowd. As she entered the crowd, she was stopped by someone. Jiang Ruolan turned around and saw Xiong Ruogang. She was momentarily stunned.
Xiong Ruogang whispered in her ear, "Sis Jiang, I heard you were at the hospital, so I come to visit you. Before I even went upstairs, I saw someone arguing over there. Don't go over there, just in case you get hit by that alcohol reeking woman! If you are injured, then the situation will go bizarre."
Jiang Ruolan didn't walk over but anxiously looked at Cui Liuxian, who was standing in the crowd. Her eyes were red, and her fine dress was wrinkled, making her look quite pitiful. However, her gaze was too frightening, as it traveled through the crowd, staring at everyone.
"Cui Liuxian, I really didn't expect you to be so shameless. The Xian Family is already not letting you go, and yet you still want to cause trouble? If you know how to appreciate favors, then scram! If not, I will say what you've done in front of everyone here and the one who will be embarrassed in the end is you."
Xian Guiying was held by Zhan An, but she didn't rush forward. Instead, she stood in place and spoke with an expressionless face.
It seemed that Cui Liuxian had just made a fuss. Xian Guiying couldn't help scolding her. Because Cui Liuxiang was too annoying, she told what had she (Cui Luixian) done one by one in front of the crowd. No wonder there were so many people watching.
Cui Liuxian, on the other hand, was clearly distracted by the contemptuous gaze of the crowd. She suddenly yelled like a crazy mad woman, "Xian Guiying, don't pretend like you are a pure person. You are the same kind of trash as Jiang Ruolan! You're not married, and yet, you're still pregnant! Don't you remember how you got such a big belly? Qin Gengxin didn't care about you at all! You, on the other hand, climbed into his bed while he was drunk and forced him to marry you by having his child! Do you think you're glorious? You're f*cking dirtier than anyone else!"
"Say that again!" Xian Guiying's expression froze as she abruptly walked towards her in anger.
"Guiying! She's already gone mad, so don't bother with her!" Zhan An quickly pulled her back. "Be obedient. Don't listen to what she said. If she likes to cause trouble, then so be it. She wants to ruin the Xian Family's reputation, let her. We will let her know the consequence of offending the Xian Family! Don't get angry because of her. It's not worth it."
"Godmother!" When Cui Liuxian heard Zhan An's words, she cried out for her.
Zhan An acted as if she couldn't hear her and sighed. She didn't even look at Cui Liuxian but just held Xian Guiying's arm. "She deliberately provoked you. She's not having a good time by herself, that's why she isn't letting everyone have a good time too. You're not stupid, why are you arguing with her?"
"Humans are invincible when they are humble. I have personally witnessed it myself."
Xian Guiying seemed to be a bit agitated. After being comforted by Zhan An, she became calmer.
The criticism in the crowd was still all on Cui Liuxian. No one would care about Xian Guiying. Moreover, in this world, those who shamelessly wanted to break up other people's marriages were far more likely to be involved in gossip.
A nice woman in the crowd scolded her, "Shameless as hell. The young lady of the Xian Family just said that this woman was trying to break up her older brother's marriage and wanted to climb into his bed just to be Old General Xian's granddaughter."
"Who are you talking about? Say that again!"
Cui Liuxian's sharp eyes turned to the people in the crowd.
No one made a sound, and the woman who had spoken earlier also closed her mouth. She quietly lowered her head and took a bite of the grilled sausage she had just bought nearby.
On the other hand, Cui Liuxian turned around and rushed over, running into the crowd to grab the woman. "I f***king asked you to say that again!"
"Ah!
"She hit me! Someone call the police!"
What was initially a crowd of spectators immediately turned into a brawl. The audience couldn't watch anymore, and some of them went to pull Cui Liuxian from that woman. Suddenly, dozens of people started to fight with each other.
"This bitch dares to be so arrogant! Hit her! Hit her!"
