My Little Sweet Wife

Chapter 432 - Cui Luixian’s Ending X



  Xian Zihao's face was calm as he asked, "Where is she?"

"Outside grandpa's ward. Grandpa had just fallen asleep, but he woke up because of her loud cries. She just came to make a fuss. She was kneeling outside the room. It seemed she had been overwhelmed by her impulsiveness yesterday, and now she regretted it, she tried to approached grandpa and begging for mercy. She knelt in front of the door, crying and won't leave until grandpa talked to her." Xian Guiying said with an annoyed face. "Did she really think that grandpa would always be her savior?! I've really never seen such a cheap woman!"

Xian Zihao seemed to be in deep thought. He walked towards Xian Guiying and asked, "How's grandpa?"

Xian Guiying didn't come in but leaned over Xian Zihao's shoulder and waved her hand at Jiang Ruolan. 

Jiang Ruolan smiled at Xian Guiying's actions, and then she saw her stand on her tiptoes and whisper something into Xian Zihao's ear.

"You go over first, don't let her meet grandpa. I'll be there shortly." Xian Zihao gestured for Xian Guiying to return to the Old Man's side first.

Xian Guiying nodded and turned away.

Jiang Ruolan watched Xian Guiying leave before Xian Zihao went back to her bed and helped her lie down. "You rest first. I'll go to see grandpa. If you can't sleep, you can talk to the babies, hmm?"

Xian Zihao bent down and kissed her. With a clear and calm smile on her face, Jiang Ruolan nodded her head obediently. "Go, I'm fine."

"Don't wander around!" Just as Xian Zihao was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and said in a serious tone.

Jiang Ruolan giggled. "Go, don't worry about me. I'm not a child!"

Xian Zihao's gaze became gentle as he sighed, "I already said that with me by your side, you don't have to be worried." The words that came out of his mouth contained a bit of heartache and a sense of affection. He then smiled and left the ward.

Only after Xian Zihao left, Jiang Ruolan get up. Her stomach was still uncomfortable, but her body was still quite agile.

To be honest, she can't be blamed for being so careful about Cui Liuxian. She was worried that Cui Liuxian still had some extraordinary trick in her sleeve. She was worried that Cui Liuxian will continue to trick Old Man Xian. That's why she couldn't be at ease lying in the ward like this.

Her ward was on the obstetric side, on the seventh floor. The Old Man's ward was on the orthopedics side, and she had to pass through the corridor between the two floors. Jiang Ruolan went to the receptionist desk to ask the Old Man's room before walking there.

Jiang Ruolan had just raised her hand to knock on the door when she suddenly heard Cui Liuxian crying.

"Grandpa, please forgive me. I really didn't want you to get hurt. I was impulsive yesterday, I just ..."

"After what had happened, you still don't want to admit you were wrong?!" Zhan An sighed. The normally calm tone was now filled with impatience.

"Jiang Ruolan forced me to do that! Grandpa, mom, please think about it. Before Jiang Ruolan married into the Xian Family, what did I look like? After she married into the family, how did I look? I was forced into this state by her!" Cui Liuxian shouted. "I just want to target her! I don't want to ruin the Xian Family! I don't want to hurt grandpa!"

"Grandfather, please forgive me. Let me take care of you, okay?"

"Forget about it. I'm afraid that if you act impulsively and lose your head, you'll kill the Old Man who could have lived to a hundred years of age." Xian Guiying reprimanded her. "Are you done yet? Letting Uncle Li and the others watch you by pretending to be a white lotus, you even have the guts to ask them to send you to the hospital. You are really looking for death! Did you come here to act? There's a time for acting. Didn't you see how's grandpa now? Did you know he almost died on the operation table last night?"

"Grandfather..." Cui Liuxian continued to cry.

As Jiang Ruolan listened, she couldn't help herself from opening the door and entered, wanting to see how the Old Man was doing. However, when she opened the door, she saw Xian Jian kick Cui Liuxian away as she (Cui Liuxian) was about to pounce on the Old Man's bed.

"Grandfather..." Cui Liuxian continued to cry as she crawled up on the ground and wiped her tears away. She looked pitifully at Old Man Xian, who was on the bed with his eyes closed but was frowning as if he was annoyed by the noise. "I know my wrongs. I will never dare to do it again!"

"The Xian Family gave you too many chances, but you didn't cherish it. You should have known your mistake since the first time you were given a chance. It's too late to regret now!" As Zhan An spoke, she turned around to check on the IV drips. 

Afterward, she sighed and said, "Zihao, quickly get someone to take her away. The Old Man is too weak now. He couldn't stand this annoying voice."

"Grandfather... I know you're awake. Can you talk to me for a moment? Grandpa, don't ignore me. I really know my mistakes."

Seeing Jiang Ruolan entered, Xian Zihao frowned and walked to her side, protecting her behind him. He didn't want to give Cui Liuxian another chance to attack her.

Jiang Ruolan wasn't that weak. What had happened last night was because of a moment of carelessness, but Xian Zihao's misgivings were natural, that's why she didn't say anything when he did that. Jiang Ruolan took the opportunity to look at the Old Man by the bed, then she carefully walked towards him, getting closer to the bed.

Seeing that it was Jiang Ruolan, Zhan An didn't try to stop her. She just looked at her, indicating that she had to speak softly. 

Jiang Ruolan nodded and carefully bent over. Leaning against the bed, she whispered, "Grandpa …"

As expected, the Old Man had not slept. When he heard Jiang Ruolan's voice, his eyebrows furrowed and he slowly opened his eyes. He turned his head with much effort and looked at her, "Spoiled girl, are you all right?"

Jiang Ruolan's heart ached as she carefully held the Old Man's thin hand, "Mn, I'm fine now. Grandpa, you risked your life to save me, how are you? Does it hurt? This is all my fault. You had suffered because of me."

Old Man Xian smiled as if he didn't hear the sound of Cui Liuxian crying while holding tightly onto Jiang Ruolan's hand. The Old Man then thought of something and said meaningfully, "Good child, don't blame yourself. Grandpa had let you down, grandpa owes you."

"Grandfather, what are you talking about? Didn't you explain the misunderstanding? How can you owe me? This is all just a misunderstanding!" Jiang Ruolan comforted him in a low voice.

Old Man Xian just smiled and didn't explain anything. Hearing Cui Liuxian crying and begging for mercy, he sighed and waved his hand, "Quick! Take Cui Liuxian out of here. The Xian Family can't tolerate having a person like her and this Old Man can't even afford to hurt her. Don't let me drive her away with my own hands, you guys handle it."

After he said that, the Old Man closed his eyes. His entire body was filled with the exhaustion and powerlessness of someone who had just been wounded.
