Chapter 160 – Only Zihao Deserves To Be Your Grandson-in-Law

To prevent Xian Jian from feeling angry and really making the old man shoot her, Jiang Ruolan smiled at him again. At the same time that he glared at her, she quickly disappeared in front of his eyes.

She passed through the crowd and noticed Xian Zihao's figure in the shadows. He stood at the other end of the crowd, tall and imposing, and when she noticed him, he already saw her in the crowd. He was looking at her with a touch of admiration and encouragement in his gentle eyes.

Only then did she realize that Xian Zihao had seen her earlier when she was chatting with Xian Jian.

Suddenly, Jiang Ruolan too, smiled and raised her eyebrows. Just as she was about to walk towards him, she caught sight of a figure coming in from the front door of the hotel.

The Old Man's temperament was the same as Old Man Xian. Even though he was very old, his eyes were bright and spirited, and based on the information she had gathered, he was seventy-four years old, but he looked younger and very energetic.

Although his hair was white, his steps were steady and firm.

Zhou Shufen smiled confidently and sweetly. Her long hair was tied up into a neat ponytail and hung down the back of her head. Her fair and pretty face was dyed with makeup.

Jiang Ruolan was in a trance for a moment. She even felt as if Zhou Shufen's gaze drifted towards her as soon as she entered the room.

When Jiang Ruolan looked at her again, Zhou Shufen's gaze was already drifting to everyone around her. She was walking behind Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang did not wear any extravagant attire and was only modestly dressed, but her eyes still exuded a faint spirit. Sweeping across the crowd, her eyes once again landed on Zhou Yang, and there was a faint sense of playfulness in her eyes.

Applause was heard in all directions in the hall, and everyone greeted with a smile. Jiang Ruolan was only a few steps away from Zhou Shufen and Senior Zhou. She forced herself to stand still and lowered her head to fiddle with the glass in her hand.

Just as she was about to raise the glass, she seemed to feel a cold and dignified gaze on her. Jiang Ruolan subconsciously raised her head, only to see Senior Zhou's eyes on her. The imposing aura he emitted made the surrounding people sigh.

Ironically, she had been accustomed to the disgusting and cold look of the people towards her since she was little. Naturally, she was not afraid. However, Senior Zhou's gaze was like a myriad of arrows that instantly pierced her heart.

When everyone's gaze fell on her, Jiang Ruolan slowly curled her lips and looked at Senior Zhou without fear. She smiled at him with indifferent expressions on her face.

Especially when Cui Liuxian's gaze turned towards her direction, her beautiful eyes were filled with faint ridicule.

It was rare for Cui Liuxian not to get involved with Xian Zihao in such a formal manner. Why was that so?

Was it because she knew about Zhou Shufen and Xian Zihao's past?

Due to the relationship between Zhou Shufen and Senior Zhou, she didn't dare to act rashly?

Or was it because Senior Zhou was here that she didn't dare to be impudent?

Or could it be that in front of Old Man Xian, she would always play the role of that gentle, quiet, and cute, obedient girl? So, that's why she just stayed by the Old Man's side and didn't say a word?

In order to gain a foothold in the Xian Family, Cui Liuxian had to suppress all of her emotions and nature like this. Living in such a disgraceful manner, why would she need to do so?

Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed onto her hand. Xian Zihao had walked towards her at some point and was holding her hand in front of everyone.

At that moment, the mocking expression in Cui Liuxian's eyes gradually turned cold. She clenched her hands into fists and endured it.

When Xian Zihao standing next to Jiang Ruolan, Senior Zhou's gaze fell on him, and a rare smile appeared on his face. "Good boy, after five years of not seeing you, you have become even more high-spirited! Look, we seniors are about to be outdone by you!"

Senior Zhou pointed at Old Man Xian and Xian Jian. "Occupying the Central Region, your son at that time was enough to make me look at him with a new light. Now, your grandson is far greater!"

"Isn't your beloved granddaughter also an impressive person?" Old Man Xian walked with a smile and looked at Zhou Shufen with appreciation.

"Senior Zhou has been in the business and military world for decades and has a very high reputation. How dare I compete with you? I am afraid that Senior Zhou just needs to show your spear and my little life will be gone." Xian Zihao said with a calm and collected voice, which made Senior Zhou nod with a smile on his face.

"Five years ago, when your grandfather told you to go back home and take over your family's business, I already couldn't bear to see you leave the United States. I didn't expect that in just five years, you would have already shocked the entire mainland's business community. Haish..It's a pity that I did not force this spoiled girl to hold tight on you."

Senior Zhou looked meaningfully at Zhou Shufen who was standing behind him. His eyes were filled with helplessness.

"Grandpa, look at how pleased you are with yourself. You once said that Zihao has done a lot of good and now, you can't stop talking about him the moment you saw him." Zhou Shufen smiled and turned to Xian Zihao.

Her clear and pleasant voice continued, "But you also said that only Zihao deserves to be your grandson-in-law."

Zhou Shufen looked at Xian Zihao's face as if she was trying to convey something and then looked at Jiang Ruolan.

Jiang Ruolan felt Xian Zihao's grip on her hand becoming slightly stronger. He encouraged her. Jiang Ruolan smiled indifferently and fixed Zhou Shufen with her gaze.

She smiled, and so did Zhou Shufen.

Zhou Shufen then glanced at their interlocked hands at the same time, but there was no change in her eyes. Her gaze slowly moved upwards, gently and silently landing on Xian Zihao's face.

"That's right, Zihao. Back then, I was too preoccupied with my own thoughts. All of you ..Ai.." Senior Zhou let out a low sigh. As there were too many people present, it was inconvenient for him to talk more. He turned around and went over to Old Man's side to chat.

The moment Zhou Shufen's gaze fell on Xian Zihao''s face, his eyes became slightly cold. He looked at Zhou Shufen and in the end, he ignored what she was saying about "past events" and tightly pursed his lips.

Zhou Shufen looked at him calmly, politely and indifferently, just like when she was at the door of the Xian Group that day.

This kind of courtesy, this kind of savage smile from Zhou Shufen, this kind of careless yet faintly playful attitude, was completely ignored by Xian Zihao from the beginning to the end.

However, Jiang Ruolan felt chilliness spreading from the bottom of her feet. She remembered that Qin Gengxin had mentioned the reason for Xian Zihao's return was because of a woman, but he never mentioned the woman's name. She also remembered that Xian Guiying had once said that Zhou Shufen was a taboo in Xian Zihao's world, that's why she warned her not to casually mention the name to him.

Jiang Ruolan thought that Xian Zihao would be moved when he saw Zhou Shufen, but that day, he stopped by her side and held her hand, telling Zhou Shufen that she was his wife.

Although Xian Zihao was calm and self-controlled, Jiang Ruolan still could feel Zhou Shufen's appearance was within his expectation.

Why did she say that? It was because when they passed the plaza that morning and when Xian Zihao saw the figure standing under the flagpole, he already knew that it was Zhou Shufen. Still, his composure and serenity were different from what Jiang Ruolan had imagined.

When she thought about what had happened before, although Xian Zihao was sufficiently calm, it did not mean that Zhou Shufen's appearance did not have any influence on him.

On the contrary, Xian Zihao was someone who knew how to restrain his emotions. Although he drew an estrangement symbol between him and Zhou Shufen, it also proved that he had deliberately avoided her.

The reason why Xian Zihao purposely avoided and distanced himself from Zhou Shufen was that he knew that Jiang Ruolan cared about it and could not say anything about her bitterness.

If he really forgot Zhou Shufen, there was no need for him to evade. Jiang Ruolan lowered her eyes, trying to hide her emotion.

At the same time, Senior Zhou had already walked to Old Man Xian's side with a smile on his face. It was unknown what he was talking about, but Cui Liuxian's gaze was darting back and forth between Zhou Shufe and Jiang Ruolan, it was as if there was some hidden ray of light flashing in the depths of her eyes.

Even though today was a welcoming feast held in the name of Old Man Xian, some of his old comrades and business elites, but the main goal was to celebrate the return of Zhou Yang, who hadn't returned for more than twenty years, and most of the people who came today were elders over sixty years old.

Xian Zihao was deliberately low key, so the center today wasn't him. Jiang Ruolan stood beside him, and it was rare for her to be quiet.

When Senior Zhou called Zhou Shufen over to greet a few seniors that she had never seen before, she turned around and left the spot without any hesitation.

Zhou Shufen was too confident in her way of doing things. Was it because she believed that Xian Zihao's heart was with her, or because she believed that Jiang Ruolan was not worth mentioning?

Suddenly, there was a slight pain in her hand. It was Xian Zihao who had suddenly squeezed her hand. Jiang Ruolan subconsciously looked at him and saw that he was smiling gently at her.
