"Later on, Zhou Shufen didn't go to work at Xian Enterprise after graduation. She majored in finance, and she wanted to create her own world, but she was also great. In just two to three years, she created many excellent records in financial analysis in the United States."
"But then, something happened. My brother risked his life to save her. They were both locked in the cellar all night, and if it weren't for the trap my brother had prepared in advance, Zhou Shufen and my brother would definitely not have survived the second day." Xian Guiying's face was filled with anger.
"Later on, my brother advised her to restrain her temper a little, saying that if she was too sharp, there would only be more and more disasters happening. Although he had the ability to protect her, it doesn't mean that she would always be able to get away from danger by luck, but Zhou Shufen disliked his tone, which sounded like he was teaching her. Not only did he not coax her, he even taught her a lesson."
At this point, Jiang Ruolan suddenly raised her head and remembered something Xian Zihao once said.
Xian Guiying's angry expression carried a vivid memory. Jiang Ruolan lowered her head and placed the plate in her hand on the table silently.
She then said softly, "Zihao's advice was one of the ways he showed his love. From the sound of it, Zhou Shufen's temper is indeed too excessive, but even though she was sure that Zihao really cared about her, how can she act so hastily? When a woman recklessly makes a ruckus in front of a man, it's only because she knows that the man loves her deeply."
Xian Guiying paused. "Maybe what the sister-in-law said was true, but for three months Zhou Shufen was gone, even though my brother was very angry, he did not want her in danger. He sent people to investigate her whereabouts, and only stopped after he was convinced that she had gone to New York and was safe."
"Even though he had always been indulgent towards her, my brother was very determined about what happened that time. After all, if he continued to indulge her, then sooner or later something would happen to Zhou Shufen due to her temper. One day, she finally came back…but with a man. She said that my brother didn't love her and didn't care about her, so she decided to find a man who cared about her."
"At that time, due to the financial crisis, Xian Enterprise's stock continued to decline. My brother was very busy, and he was tired after several consecutive days of attending shareholders' meetings. However, with Zhou Shufen making a fuss like this, he gave up his short break and went to look at her."
"Sister-in-law, do you know how much Zhou Shufen loved to play? She was waiting for my brother to find her, even going so far as to get drunk with that man in the bar, just to make him angry. But when my brother found her, she was with the man she brought back from New York…Having sex!"
"She's the eldest miss of the Zhou Family, she doesn't care if she plays with the world or not. She felt that even if my brother loved her, he must still put her first, die for her, live for her, and cry for her alone. This is Zhou Shufen's view of love, just like her view of life, so insufferably arrogant!"
Xian Guiying took a deep breath, "My brother witnessed everything that happened between Zhou Shufen and the man with his own eyes. At that time, he was exhausted and needed rest, but he didn't leave. When Zhou Shufen and that man woke up the next morning and when she saw my brother, she was initially scared and regretted it, but when she faced my brother, she actually said the world is vast and as long as it was a man she wanted, that man would definitely submit to her. There are still a lot of men waiting for her and to love her. She dared to say that this was a small punishment for my brother."
Xian Guiying laughed as she spoke, "Zhou Shufen is too proud to lower her head even though she knows she did something wrong. If she was willing to admit and realize her mistakes, maybe things wouldn't go this far, but she is just like that. Even if she is wrong, she must be told right, even if it is wrong, she must use the tone of punishing others to proclaim her innocence."
"Then Zihao, what happened to him? Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but ask.
"My brother?" Xian Guiying sneered.
"My brother gave Zhou Shufen his patience, his indulgence, his love, and all his tenderness but in the end, he was left like a pair of shoes by her. My brother turned away without a word of rebuke. Zhou Shufen waited for him to turn around, apologized to her, but she didn't know, at that time my brother stayed in the hospital for half a month because his stomach was bleeding. He didn't have enough rest, busy managing company affairs."
"At the time, Zhou Shufen thought he was provoked by her, and she finally went to see him in the hospital, and finally decided to end the cold war with a smile. When she arrived there, my brother was already out of the hospital that morning, and she never saw him again."
"A month later, Zhou Shufen found out that she was pregnant and the child was the child of the man that she had brought back from New York. She later found out that the man was the leader of a gang in New York and he has been watching her."
"She agreed to marry him, but my brother never once stopped caring about her. After that, he taught me how to manage a company, and after a year, he returned to China. He never returned to Boston again."
"Laughable, isn't it? Zhou Shufen went to look for him at the company later on. She always thought that my brother wouldn't leave just like that. She was too confident. She was so confident that she could push away a man as good as my brother with her own hands until she finally regretted it. She tried everything she could to get my brother to be with her again, but it was already too late."
"My brother loved Zhou Shufen, and although he was calm and collected at that time, he had already planned their future."
When Jiang Ruolan heard this, she couldn't help but smile. "Was it really because of her that Zihao came back?"
"I'm not sure about that. My brother didn't intend to do that in the beginning, but after he went back to Beijing for a meeting, he started teaching me how to manage the company. After that, my brother returned home to manage the family business. They all said it was because of Zhou Shufen, but I don't think so! But other than that, I can't think of any other reason."
"Sister-in-law." Xian Guiying suddenly extended her hand and covered Jiang Ruolan's hand, which was on the side of the bed. "When I first saw you, I thought the reason why you and my brother got married was because you and Zhou Shufen are quite similar."
This was the topic that Jiang Ruolan didn't want to touch the most. She forced a smile and said, "You think so too?"
Xian Guiying smiled, "But gradually, I realized that you and Zhou Shufen are completely different. You are a great, smart, and strong woman. You know how to hold back yourself. You and Zhou Shufen are two completely different people, and the two of you don't actually resemble each other that much. It's just that you have some similarities in appearance. If you think about it carefully, after all these years, my brother has lost his feelings for Zhou Shufen, so why would he marry you because of the similarities?"
"Sister-in-law…" Xian Guiying held Jiang Ruolan's hand tightly and said sincerely, "My brother treats you sincerely. It has nothing to do with anyone. He loves you."
Jiang Ruolan could not tell what kind of feeling she had in her heart after hearing this story. She laughed softly, "Guiying, you don't have to be afraid and try to comfort my heart. Everyone has an unforgettable and sacred first love, but that doesn't mean they will end up in marriage. Since it's in the past, I will be more comfortable now after knowing about it."
"Sister-in-law, why should I comfort you? What I said was true! A person's eyes cannot be deceived by others. Zhou Shufen actually has some friendship with me. After all we have been together in the United States for a period of time. I know her very well. She is competitive, proud, and increasingly scheming, but luckily she could not do anything as despicable as Cui Liuxian. She was only gambling on my brother's feelings for her, but she was wrong. She always said that my brother only felt responsible for your marriage, but she never paid attention to my brother's eyes, how he always looks at you. She is just deceiving herself!"
Jiang Ruolan, of course, believed that Xian Zihao's feelings for her were sincere. It was just that the phrase "hidden space of the heart" made her feel uncomfortable. Perhaps women were greedy, but at least for now, she would rather believe Xian Guiying's words.
"My brother really loves you. You must treasure him well." Xian Guiying pulled Jiang Ruolan's hand and said very seriously.
Jiang Ruolan nodded with a smile and shook her hand soothingly.
Just at this moment, a bolt of lightning flashed outside the window, followed by a clap of thunder. The two people were simultaneously stunned as they looked outside the window in the blink of an eye.
