My Little Sweet Wife Chapter 169 - Divorce

Chapter 169 - Divorce

Hearing Jiang Ruolan defending Xian Zihao like this, Qin Gengxin was so angry that he put his hands on his hips, turned around, and started pacing back and forth in the ward. As he paced, he grinded his teeth. "I just missed knowing some news and this has happened. You two have been acting in front of me for a long time and making me look like a clown!"

"So, you got married because of those ridiculous reasons. Why? Why am I a step too late?" Qin Gengxin turned around immediately. "No matter what, leave her! Divorce immediately!"

Xian Zihao remained calm and composed. He didn't show any change in expression. However, Jiang Ruolan panicked. "Why are you deciding for me?"

Qin Gengxin glared at her. "You need to divorce him!"

"How can you force others to divorce just because you don't like the marriage!" Jiang Ruolan was infuriated. She tried to get up, but just as she moved her shoulders slightly, Xian Zihao immediately pushed her back.

She glared at Xian Zihao and could only lie there obediently and not move. She looked at Qin Gengxin, who still had an ugly expression on his face and said, "As the old saying goes, I would rather tear down ten temples than destroy my marriage!"

"Since you two are strangers, then there's no need to tie the knot. You were framed. Now that the rumors have pa.s.sed, as long as Zihao is willing to settle it, the traces of your marriage can be completely wiped out! As long as you get divorced immediately, I don't mind your previous marriage!" Qin Gengxin was so angry that his chest heaved up and down.

Every word of him emphasized the fact that they had to get divorced. Clearly, this was his main purpose for coming here today.

Jiang Ruolan was about to open her mouth when Xian Zihao cut her. His voice had already turned soft, "Gengxin, let's talk outside."

Qin Gengxin was about to go berserk when he suddenly glanced at the pale-faced Jiang Ruolan. He remembered that she had just pa.s.sed a dangerous period.

"Zihao…"

Although Xian Zihao gave her a comforting look, Jiang Ruolan was still a little worried. She reached out to grab his sleeve, only to see him give her a gentle smile. He turned around and held her hand, patting her lightly as if comforting her, "Rest first. Leave this to me."

Jiang Ruolan would have preferred him to talk with Qin Gengxin in the ward, at least she could hear everything they said. Although it might have been useless for her to listen to them talking about men and their ways of solving problems, she was still a little fl.u.s.tered.

Jiang Ruolan pursed her lips, loosened the cuff of his s.h.i.+rt, and pulled her hand away from his. She nodded slightly as she did not dare move her head.

Seeing his handsome back disappear from the ward door, Jiang Ruolan raised her head and stared at the ceiling in confusion.

Qin Gengxin must have investigated everything that had happened before and after, including their ident.i.ties, and so on. Her marriage with Xian Zihao had nothing to do with love, so Qin Gengxin was certain that there was no relations.h.i.+p between the two of them, which was why he forced her to get divorced.

What would Xian Zihao do?

Could he also make Qin Gengxin stop?

What would she say to him?

About ten minutes later, the door to the ward was pushed open again. Jiang Ruolan immediately looked in the door's direction and saw Zhan An walking in with a thermos in her hand.

"Child, you almost walked through the gates of h.e.l.l. If I hadn't called Zihao last night, I wouldn't even have known that something had happened to you. Fortunately, you pa.s.sed through the dangerous period. Here, drink this red date ginseng chicken soup to replenish your energy and blood." As soon as Zhan An walked in, she hurriedly brought the thermos and put it on the table, next to the bed.

"Mom, I'm fine." Jiang Ruolan didn't expect to alarm Zhan An. She looked at the worry in her eyes with an apologetic look.

"It's good that you're fine. Drink this chicken soup. I heard you lost a lot of blood. You silly child, you really made me worried." Zhan An looked at Jiang Ruolan with a pained expression as she helped her sit up.

Jiang Ruolan was initially embarra.s.sed, but she couldn't move without someone's help. She sat on the bed carefully. Zhan An served a bowl of chicken soup to her. "Come, have a drink."

Jiang Ruolan looked at the chicken soup in front of her and was stunned for a moment.

Zhan An immediately smiled, "Don't worry, this is the chicken soup that I got Nanny Cheng to make for you early in the morning, I didn't make it. Quickly drink it. If it weren't for me calling Zihao, he wouldn't tell me about this. Nanny Cheng to stew this for you. If you like it, mom will bring it to you again tomorrow. "

Jiang Ruolan's heart was filled with warmth. She obediently opened her mouth to drink the chicken soup that Zhan Ann fed her.

"Mom, for you brought this chicken soup today, that's already enough for me. I'm fine, you don't have to worry too much about me. It will take more than two hours to get from the Xian Residence to the city center, so there's no need for you to come again." Jiang Ruolan said sincerely after drinking the chicken soup.

"What's there to feel sorry for? I'm your mother-in-law, it's only right for me to come to see you when you're hospitalized and take care of you. I was just about to tell you, the old man seemed to have heard the reason behind your injury. When I asked Nanny Cheng to stew the chicken soup for you, the old man saw it on his way downstairs. He didn't hesitate to give an order to add more red dates to make up for blood loss. He also said not to let that girl, Jiang Ruolan, die so quickly."

Jiang Ruolan almost spat out the mouthful of soup she had just drunk.

"Aiya, child, slow down. Why are you choking?" Seeing that Jiang Ruolan was barely able to hold back from coughing, Zhan An quickly patted on her back

Jiang Ruolan grinned and she was a little embarra.s.sed. She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. Zhan An took the handkerchief and was about to help her, but she quickly said, "Mom, I'll do it myself."

Knowing that she was embarra.s.sed, Zhan An didn't force her and allowed her to take the handkerchief to wipe her mouth. She then fed the soup again.

Zhan An smiled with a pleased look in her eyes when she saw Jiang Ruolan obediently finish the soup. "Good child, after what had happened during the Mid-Autumn Festival, mom believes that we will meet again."

"I don't ask everyone to like me either. After all, I'm not someone that is so precious." Jiang Ruolan playfully stuck out her tongue and smiled. "As long as grandpa and dad don't reject me so much, as long as they won't be so unhappy when they see me, I'll be satisfied."

"What are you saying?" Zhan An shook her head. "Mom is more accurate when it comes to judging people. To tell you the truth, I came back because Liuxian asked me to help her. I heard that you and Zihao got married for a reason that wasn't appropriate. Therefore, when I first saw you, I didn't have that much prejudice in my heart. After being together for a few days, I felt that you, as a child, were very smart, had a sense of propriety in your speech and actions, and that you weren't the least bit pampered. And seeing that Zihao was not bad to you, I naturally accepted you as well."

After saying that, Zhan An put down the empty bowl and looked at Jiang Ruolan with a smile. "But after that Mid-Autumn Festival, I suddenly realized that Zihao really married the right person. You are really too sensible, even I feel sorry for you. Mom started liking you from that time onwards. I originally should have gone back to America with Guiying, but I stayed behind and spent my days arguing with Jian and the Old Man about your matters. Ah, if it really came down, Jian and the Old Man wouldn't have been able to do anything to me, so don't worry, you are still going to remain in the Xian Family. Zihao, Guiying, and I also like you. It's not certain who can suppress whom!"

It was a lie to say she wasn't touched. Jiang Ruolan held back the tears that were welling up in her eyes and laughed bitterly. "Thanks, mom."

"Old Man has watched Liuxian grow up for so many years. Cui Liuxian's grandfather sacrificed himself to save him on the battlefield. He promised the Cui Family that the Xian Family would definitely make Cui Liuxian grow up happily for the rest of her life. Cui Liuxian likes Zihao, so the Old Man decided to let them get married. He is afraid that she will be wronged and won't be able to repay her grandfather's life, that's why he is particularly against you. But this time, you took a risk and almost lost your life because of Zihao. The Old Man's heart is grown big, he can see it, and he can feel it, after all. He only has a grandson like Zihao. So, mom believes that the Old Man will like you one day." Zhan An put away the thermos with a smile.

Jiang Ruolan smiled faintly, but her smile suddenly froze.

The Old Man only had a grandson like Zihao?
