Chapter 203 - Old Man Xian’s Birthday Banquet III

At this moment, Zhou Shufen's eyes were unflinching. She was openly looking in Xian Zihao's direction, and there was a smile in her eyes. "Zihao, am I right?"

Xian Zihao lightly pursed his lips into a smile that was neither cold nor warm. He lowered his voice and said, "Miss Zhou's memory is really good."

"Of course, how could I forget the words of someone who was too important to me in my life?" Zhou Shufen's smile carried hints of meaning as she softly glanced at Jiang Ruolan, who was standing side by side with him. The smile on her face gradually became a bit more imposing.

"Since Miss Zhou wants to go pay her respects, I'll bring you guys over when I find the time tomorrow." Old Man Xian suddenly changed the topic.

"That's right. Everyone, don't just stand here. The weather is cold right now. No matter whose body it is, even if they stood in this wind for a long time, they wouldn't be able to withstand it."

"Quickly, go inside." After Xian Jian finished his sentence, he looked at Jiang Bingqing, who was pursing her lips without a word. "Bingqing, didn't you say you missed Liuxian? Why are you two quiet and not talking?"

Jiang Bingqing stuck out her tongue and turned to look at Cui Liuxian with a smile. After a moment, she glanced in Jiang Ruolan's direction and exchanged a glance with her (Cui Liuxian).

"Uncle, I originally wanted to catch up with Liuxian, but with Senior Zhou and Miss Zhou here, I wouldn't dare to mess around. Moreover, there are some outsiders in this yard that make me unhappy." Jiang Bingqing curled her lips.

"Bingqing, don't talk nonsense." Jiang Guanyu reprimanded her in a low voice, but it wasn't too cold. It was obvious that he had left some face for his daughter.

"It was true. We were here to celebrate grandpa Xian's birthday, but who knew that this annoying woman would still have a face to stand here? She injured Cui Liuxian's forehead last time, does this mean she will still injure someone this time too?"

"Bingqing!" Zhan Lian quickly pulled her daughter's hand and said with a frown, "Don't speak nonsense."

Jiang Bingqing said "oh" and did not speak again, but her eyes kept glancing back and forth on Jiang Ruolan. Her eyes were full of mockery.

"Let's go inside." Old Man Xian's face was full of smiles. He turned around using his walking stick to clear the way. As he walked, he said, "You guys came at the right time. Although it is now winter, but the winter in H City is like the middle of autumn, and it's also a good season to view the mountain. There's nothing to see in our Xian Residence, but the mountain scenery around us is rather beautiful."

"I don't know if there is a spare room at the hotel right now, but could I stay here for a while so that I can accompany you two elders to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake and the beautiful mountains?" Zhou Shufen said lightly as she followed behind Senior Zhou.

"Of course there are empty rooms in Our Xian Residence. Since Miss Zhou and Senior Zhou think so highly of my Xian Residence, I'll have Nanny Cheng clean up the guest rooms later. Since it's rare for you to come here, shouldn't the Jiang Family stay here too for a few more days? It's only lively when there are a lot of people." Old Man Xian said with a smile.

"Old Man Xian is very nice. Then we'll stay a few more days." Jiang Guanyu's response caused Jiang Bingqing's expression to lengthen. She whispered into Zhan Lian's ear, "Isn't dad supposed to go to the Hunan in a few days? How can he agree to it just like that?"

Zhan Lian did not say a word. Her gaze swept across Jiang Ruolan, her eyes filled with understanding.

"Hehe, Shufen, you're clearly spoiled by me. A few days ago, you said that the hotel doesn't feel good, and you clearly want to live in a place with good air. You often complain to me that the domestic air is not as good as the foreign air, and if I don't let you live with me, then how are you going to make trouble for me?" Senior Zhou said helplessly with a doting look in his eyes.

Everyone naturally knew that Zhou Shufen was Senior Zhou's flesh and blood. No one was more important than her.

"Grandpa is mocking me again. I'm not as unreasonable as you say. It's obvious that you like to criticize me in front of your old friend. Right ~ In this world, only I can make you complain as much as you want."

Zhou Shufen stood in the crowd with a brilliant smile on her face. She must have been the most beautiful sight in the world. She was neither delicate nor fake, and her whole body exuded a brave and direct aura that belonged solely to the soldiers. It was hard to not like her.

Jiang Ruolan watched everything silently and turned her head to look at Xian Zihao.

His expression was cold. He expressionlessly pursed his lips and looked at Zhou Shufen. For a moment, Jiang Ruolan couldn't be sure of her true position in Xian Zihao's heart.

For a split-second, she found that her appearance was similar to Zhou Shufen's. Although the resemblance was only seen from different angles, it was enough to shock her to her core.

Back then, when Xian Zihao had unhesitatingly chosen to marry her, was it really just because of his conscience or...

Or was it because of her resemblance to Zhou Shufen?

No matter what Cui Liuxian said or did, Jiang Ruolan had never felt that she would be a threat to her marriage, and all this time, Xian Zihao had never let her down.

But now, even though Zhou Shufen was calm and collected, Jiang Ruolan somehow felt uncertain, like a frightened bird with no sense of security. She couldn't even see through Xian Zihao's thoughts.

To be so cold and heartless towards an old love, he had to be prudent. However, outside of this coldness, could it be a wall that she would never be able to reach?

"Oh, you ~ ~" Senior Zhou's gaze turned a little softer when he looked at Zhou Shufen, then he followed the Old Man Xian into the Xian Residence.

"Let's go inside too." Xian Zihao said softly, giving Jiang Ruolan a gentle smile. The indifference on his face had completely disappeared when he looked at her.

The corner of Jiang Ruolan's mouth slightly curved into a faint smile.

Cui Liuxian, who was originally supporting the Old Man, suddenly walked to the back, very close to Zhou Shufen. It was unknown if it was because of Zhou Shufen's relations.h.i.+p with Xian Zihao, or if all the women related to Xian Zihao were enemies to her because right now, she wanted to close the door.

Suddenly, a painful cry came from Zhou Shufen, and her slender white wrist was caught by the heavy door.
