Chapter 454 - Move Somewhere Else

After the divorce, Jiang Ruolan rarely left her house and only occasionally went out to buy vegetables and other necessities for her life. Her stomach was getting bigger and bigger, and she couldn't walk around randomly.  She needed to be prepared for delivery, and from then on, other than Jiang Yijun, she really could not see any Xian Family's members. 

Xian Zihao did keep his promise. She did not know what method he used or what he said to his Xian Family. In short, no one disturbed her current tranquility. It was as if they had never met each other in the past year.

Nothing seemed to have changed. Inside the house, other than her, there's only Jiang Yijun. Speaking of Jiang Yijun, his character had become more silent than before.

A few days later, due to Jiang Ruolan's request, Jiang Yijun went to the sanatorium to bring Jia Zhenzhen over to Greenville Residence.

After that, they both started taking care of her. No matter how eccentric Jia Zhenzhen was sometimes, Jiang Ruolan didn't say much. Jia Zhenzhen was Jiang Yijun's mother, and after her own mother died, she could only take care of his mother like her mother.

Jiang Yijun often visited her, but he did not spend the night.

And when Jiang Ruolan returned from her 9 month's pregnancy checkup, she heard that there was an intern two years younger than Jiang Yijun in a certain department, started chasing after him brutally. 

At the time, the intern was only 22 years old. She was even younger than Xiong Ruogang, but she was so persistent that she could be praised. That girl would go to Jiang Yijun's office all day and brought her homemade lunch for him, but Jiang Yijun, the stinky brat, didn't appreciate it at all.

Jia Zhenzhen listened to what Jiang Ruolan said about Jiang Yijun attentively, and the two of them laughed at him as if he was a joke. 

Jiang Ruolan even said, "Aiya, I think I will bring some food to him and take a look."

One day, while they're having dinner,  the intern sent Jiang Yijun a voice message.                           

Jiang Yijun casually opened it without checking the sender's name. Once the message played, the girl's public confession instantly came out of his phone, catching him off guard.

This time it's not just Jiang Ruolan, even Jia Zhenzhen encouraged him to try.

Jiang Yijun was very calm. He glanced at his phone and casually replied, "Just eat your food."

Since then, the intern who Jiang Yijun had rejected become a gossip conversation in the unit. As a result, the girls in his unit no longer dared to provoke him.

Jiang Ruolan facepalmed. 

Jiang Ruolan's relationship with Jia Zhenzhen was getting closer. However, there's one thing she didn't understand. Jia Zhenzhen and Jiang Yijun were the real mother and son, so why was it that every time he came, although Jia Zhenzhen was good to him, their conversation was very polite. 

On the other hand, Jia Zhenzhen was constantly nagging like a proper mother when she talked to her.

This often gave Jiang Ruolan the illusion that Jia Zhenzhen was her mother, not Jiang Yijun's.

This was only her imagination. A wild imagination. Every time she thought about it, she would feel weird and strange.

***

The weather was very sunny this weekend. Jiang Ruolan still had two weeks before her due date, and since doctors told her to walk more to smooth out the birthing process, she took advantage of the good weather to push Jia Zhenzhen's wheelchair and walk around the housing.

"Lan, even though Greenville Residence is a comfortable place to live, there are too many memories in there. After these two children were born, why don't we go somewhere else to stay?" Jia Zhenzhen said out of sudden.

Jiang Ruolan paused in her steps and turned around to look at the few familiar neighbors. She smiled and nodded to them before asking, "Auntie Jia, where do you want to go?"

Jia Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows and looked ahead, "I heard that Jiang Bingqing was sentenced to thirty years in prison. Jiang Guanyu and Zhan Lian both ran out of time and couldn't get her out. I want to go to G City to watch the show."

Jiang Ruolan was stunned. "I thought you would want to stay in H City and see Xian Jian."

Jia Zhenzhen did not say anything, only looked at her. "The Xian Family and Jiang Family are both the same to me. Whoever among them receives retribution will make my mood become good. You don't want to leave H City, do you? You wanted to keep living here. What are you waiting for, Lan?"

Jiang Ruolan pushed the wheelchair forward, looked up at the sky, and sighed, "What can I wait for? All paths have been determined by me."

"I heard ..." Jia Zhenzhen glanced at her. "Xian Zihao has left H City, but I don't know where he went. However, the current Xian Group's CEO has been appointed by someone else. He's already gone, don't think about him anymore. The Xian Family is not worth for you to remember."

Jiang Ruolan frowned, "I don't want to quarrel with you, Auntie Jia. Can we not talk about this anymore? I promise you after the children are born, we'll stay in another place. Yijun can also move out at the Xian Residence. If you want him to stay with you, you can discuss the location with him. I'm fine anywhere."

Looking at her attitude,  Jia Zhenzhen raised her head and looked at her. She then sighed, "Are you blaming me for inciting hatred in you and ruining your marriage?"

Jiang Ruolan smiled, "Since everything is true, how can I blame you? A few days ago, the Xian Family was waiting for me outside the Greenville Residence door. I was asleep at that time, and it was you, Auntie Jia, who sent them out, right?"

"Since I already chose this path, don't you ever use me as your chess piece. I'm still going to stand by my words. Since you are Yijun's mother, I will take care of you. I will show you my filial piety because this is my duty.  You have been imprisoned for over twenty years, and it is up to you whether you wanted to hate the Xian Family, but don't... Don't ever involve me in this.  I am only looking for peace. Don't always think of ways to instigate your hatred by using me."

"So now you feel sorry for this pathetic old woman?" Jia Zhenzhen narrowed her eyes at Jiang Ruolan.

"I took care of you because of Yijun. I take care of you like you were my own mother, but I am not you. You have resentment and hatred towards the Xian Family in your heart, but you cannot try to use Yijun and me to mess up the Xian Family just because of this. You are blinded by hatred. Do not involve the fate of your juniors in this. I cannot let go of my mother's death, so I choose to leave the Xian Family."

Jia Zhenzhen nodded but laughed coldly, "Right. The person who was locked up for more than twenty years was me, the person who played stupid and crazy was me, not you. If you can be devoted to me, that will be my sustenance, I can't ask too much of you. I can't put any hope of revenge on you, I'm the one who thinks too much, hehe…"

Hearing that, Jiang Ruolan immediately squatted down and held Jia Zhenzhen's hand gently, "Your hatred is justified, but you have left that place. You have just passed the age of fifty and actually have many good days to enjoy. Let's forget about the Xian Family, the Jiang Family, or the Zhou Family and stay away from all these problems and live our own lives."

"If you don't hate Xian Zihao, why did you leave him?" Jia Zhenzhen lowered her head and looked at Jiang Ruolan deeply.
