"Tell Mrs. Xian, I will slowly reciprocate what had happened twenty years ago.

"

Jiang Ruolan was shocked. She could only stare at Jiang Yijun's back as he opened his car door. She looked in the direction where the car drove off, with her heart beating like a drum.

'Tell Mrs. Xian, I will slowly reciprocate what had happened twenty years ago.'

What did Jiang Yijun mean by that?

Jiang Ruolan turned around and saw Zhan An's eyes looking at Jiang Yijun's fading car. She looked like she was thinking about something.

"Mom.

" Jiang Ruolan called out her name.

Zhan An retracted her gaze and smiled at her.

"Are you cold?

"

Without waiting for Jiang Ruolan's replied, Zhan An lifted her collar and smoothed it.

"Child, you have been alone for many years. You are actually just a little girl back then but you can raise your brother well.

"

Jiang Ruolan did not know if there was a hidden meaning behind Zhan An's words, she couldn't say anything recklessly. She just pursed her lip and said,

"Mom, it's not easy for every woman. Whether it's for my brother or my own child, I will fight for the people I love until my last breath.

"

Zhan An nodded and patted her hand. Many things cannot be proved by words alone, but also by deeds.

"Good child, to have such a state of mind is enough to prove that you are more sensible than many others.

"

Jiang Ruolan only smiled.

Actually, she wasn't very sensible. She was just used to understanding.

In this world, if one were too demanding and did not have a magnanimous heart to understand everything, then the one who would suffer the most would be herself. In reality, this was only her protection.

****

Precisely at 7 pm, as Zhan An said earlier, the Xian Family's driver came to Greenville Residence to pick up Xian Zihao and Jiang Ruolan to Xian Residence.

As soon as they got there, Zhan An was already waiting for them at the door and quickly took Jiang Ruolan's hand, bringing her into the house. Xian Zihao just smiled, following them both from behind.

"Our Ruolan is a lucky star to our Xian Family. She often encounters troubles, but she's still carrying the great-grandson that you've been waiting for all this time.

" Zhan An's voice contained a sense of happiness.

The moment Jiang Ruolan entered the door, she saw Old Man Xian, who was wearing a rare formal attire and was full of spirit, waiting for her.

"Grandfather.

" Jiang Ruolan had already mentally prepared herself before coming here, so she smiled daintily at him. Old Man Xian looked away.

Xian Zihao smiled as he gently pushed Jiang Ruolan towards the Old Man. At the same time, he said softly in a voice that only she could hear,

"Grandpa is really awkward with his emotion. He might not be very happy right now but it doesn't mean that he will hurt you. Go, don't be afraid.

"

"Huh?

" Jiang Ruolan turned around and looked at Xian Zihao, then looked back at Old Man Xian's majestic appearance. She weighed him in her heart and then moved closer to him,

"Grandpa …

"

"Come with me to the study.

" Old Man Xian suddenly stood up and leered at her with his walking stick before turning around and heading upstairs.

Jiang Ruolan froze on the spot, unable to react for a moment.

"I'm talking to you, why is this girl like a piece of wood?

" Old Man Xian suddenly turned his head and shot her another sidelong glance, as if he was in a bad mood.

"Oh …

" Jiang Ruolan was a little confused. She turned around and looked at Zhan An, who was smiling, and Xian Zihao, who was gesturing for her to follow the Old Man. Jiang Ruolan had no choice but to follow the Old Man upstairs.

"You're pregnant so quickly, spoiled girl!

" Old Man Xian muttered as he walked inside the study.

"How should I explain it to the late Old Cui!

"

Jiang Ruolan was a little embarrassed. The old man went around the desk and said,

"Close the door.

"

Jiang Ruolan hurriedly closed the door to the study, but she was a little perturbed. She didn't know what kind of thoughts the Old Man had in his mind. Would he use one of the top ten torture methods on her?

"

"Spoiled girl, you! Come here.

"

"Oh.

" Jiang Ruolan quickly walked over and stood in the middle of the study. She looked around and saw two bookshelves filled with books and two old weapons but apparently functioning hanging on the wall.

Xian Zihao had just said that the Old Man was actually feeling awkward, so right now, she's trying to figure out how she should persuade and steal his heart.

Her eyes landed on a box of tea on the desk.

Jiang Ruolan suddenly recalled the Old Man liked to drink tea, so she quickly walked to a thermos on the table nearby. She carefully poured a cup of tea and walked over to the Old Man,

"Grandpa, do you want to drink tea?

"

"What are you doing? I haven't slept for two days, and you still want me to drink tea?

" The Old Man roared with vigor.

"Ugh… I… I'm sorry. I thought you were thirsty.

" Jiang Ruolan innocently opened her eyes wide and carefully put down the teacup.

"Don't stand on my side. Go stand over there!

" The Old Man suddenly frowned and pointed to the bookshelf behind her.

Jiang Ruolan was confused and didn't understand what the Old Man was trying to do, but she still took two steps back and stood in front of the bookshelf.

The Old Man just sat at his chair and glanced at the cup. He didn't drink it, but he didn't throw it away either.

Jiang Ruolan's mouth twitched.

"Grandpa... Do you want to talk to me about something?

"

"What can I talk to you about?

" The Old Man glanced at her and continued to sing in that melodious melody, shaking his head as he hummed,

"In that dream of spring, there were flowers everywhere. Today, the roof is green and the trees are green. Why is there no news of your departure? The beginnings of the flower have been waiting until now.

"

Just as Jiang Ruolan was about to take a step forward, the Old Man suddenly pulled out a ruler from nowhere and slapped it on his hand. He did not even look at her,

"Don't move, stand there with your chest puffed out!

"

"Standing up just like a soldier?

" Jiang Ruolan froze.

"Don't think that this Old Man can't do anything to you just because you have Zihao protecting you.

" The Old Man crossed his legs and continued to shake his head. The ruler in his hand also lightly tapped back and forth.

Jiang Ruolan's mouth twitched again as she stood rooted to the spot.

After a while, the Old Man picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, smacked his lips, and then put it down again,

"Hmm, your skill on brewing tea is not bad. You know how much water is needed to fill the cup.

" After saying that, he turned and glanced at her.

"Spoiled girl, can you make Tieguanyin tea?

"

Jiang Ruolan immediately answered honestly,

"No.

" Then she added,

"If grandpa likes it, I can learn it. Hehe!

"

The Old Man glanced at her and gave a cold snort.

"You're quite quick-witted, but this Old Man likes silly girls. I don't like monkeys!

"

Jiang Ruolan immediately stopped smiling and pursed her lips. It was obvious that the Old Man wasn't fair. His doting on Cui Luixian made him completely blind. If not, how can the double-faced Cui Luixian deceive him? Everyone else was a monkey to him.

"What is it? You're cursing me in your heart, aren't you?

"

Jiang Ruolan:

"....

"
