My Little Sweet Wife Chapter 247

"All right, let's all have dinner. Ruolan, tonight Nanny Cheng will cook ginger soup for you to drink. This soup is very good to prevent your stomach from catching a cold."
Jiang Ruolan smiled. Everyone followed Zhan An and sat at the long table. Xian Zihao sat next to her and did not say anything about Xian Guiying.
Xian Guiying also did not talk much.
"Zihao, where's dad?" When Jiang Ruolan saw the Old Man come down, she quickly looked around but did not see Xian Jian.
"He went out." Xian Zihao poured a glass of fresh fruit juice and gave it to her. "You can't drink fresh water right now. You must drink fruit juice from time to time to balance the nutrients in your body."
Seeing that he was acting as if nothing had happened, Jiang Ruolan took the glass and looked at the silent Xian Guiying with suspicion.
"Liuxian isn't back yet?" As the Old Man sat down, he handed the walking stick to Nanny Cheng. He glanced at his family members on the table and said with dissatisfaction.
"Miss Liuxian's phone could not be reached. I have tried to call her several times and it was always off." Nanny Cheng said on the side.
The Old Man shook his head, "This child." However, he did not say anything further. He looked at Xian Guiying, who was not in a good mental state, and asked, "Has the doctor examined Guiying's body?"
Xian Guiying paused for a moment but didn't reply. Instead, her gaze shifted to Xian Zihao, who was in the middle of scooping soup for Jiang Ruolan.
The Old Man followed her gaze, "Zihao, didn't you call Dr. Li just now? Is Guiying fever serious? Has she been given an injection?"
"Her fever is 37 degrees. Doctor Li just told her to take medicine, and she does not need an injection. Her fever is easy to treat." Xian Zihao glanced at Xian Guiying, who looked a little nervous.

Xian Guiying immediately sighed in relief and lowered her head to eat her food. After eating two mouthfuls, she said with a smile, "Grandpa, don't just care about me. The wound on my brother's shoulder is still not healed."
"His flesh and bones are fine. It would be strange if a man became weak just because of small wounds like this. I was shot many times in my arms and legs, and I am still alive and well! Looking at your brother's mental state, whatever pain he was feeling has long been dispelled by the child in the spoiled girl's stomach. Do you still need me to worry about him?" The Old Man snorted as he looked at the smiling Xian Zihao, "Have you changed your bandage today?"
"I did." Xian Zihao smiled. He glanced at the cold Coke glass next to Xian Guiying, which Nanny Cheng had poured for her. Without saying anything, he poured a little hot water into the cup next to him and exchanged it for Xian Guiying's glass.
"You have a fever, don't drink carbonated drinks. Drink more hot water." He whispered to Xian Guiying.
Xian Guiying didn't say anything. On the other side, Nanny Cheng patted her forehead. "Oh my God! Second Young Miss, I'm sorry. I forgot you had a cold. I remember you usually like to drink Coke, that's why I poured it to your glass."
"It's alright, Nanny Cheng. Recently, I like to drink fruit juice. Just give me the same drink sister-in-law have." In the blink of an eye, Xian Guiying went to comfort Nanny Cheng.
Jiang Ruolan did not say anything. She turned to look at Xian Zihao, only to see that he calmly took a piece of Red Braised Meat and put it into her bowl. "From now on, you must eat more vegetables and meat. You can not be picky."
Jiang Ruolan felt like she was being treated like a child, but when she saw Xian Zihao's attentive and loving eyes, she smiled happily. Her smile full of happiness seemed to make the atmosphere around the table more lively.

Jiang Ruolan's face immediately turned red. She picked up the chopsticks that she didn't use and gave some of the food to the Old Man, "Grandpa, have some food too."
The Old Man looked at her calmly. "Spoiled girl, does your leg hurt?"
How should Jiang Ruolan answer this question?
Jiang Ruolan could clearly see the shrewdness shining in the Old Man's eyes. If she said 'pain', the Old Man would probably make fun of her, but if she said 'no', then the Old Man would extend the punishment.
She was able to tell that Xian Zihao inherited the Old Man's personality. When talking to the Old Man, Jiang Ruolan had to think her answer carefully.
Seeing that she blinked innocently but didn't answer, the Old Man looked at her for a while and then laughed. "Humph! You are really a spoiled girl."
Xian Zihao glanced at Jiang Rullan with a smile on his face. Jiang Ruolan pursed her lips and lowered her head to drink the soup under his gentle and smiling gaze.
"It's been a few months since your grandpa last smiled like this. It seems like he is really in a good mood today ~" Zhan An said as she gave Xian Guiying some food.
The Old Man immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth. Zhan An smiled, "Enough dad. Before, the only one who can cure your bad temper is Zihao. Now there's even Ruolan. Look at yourself right now. You can't even hold back your smiles."
"That's right. For so many years, every time grandpa lost his temper, other than my brother who can coax him, who else would dare to come close to him!" Xian Guiying said while taking a sip of the hot water in her cup. She glanced sideways at the Old Man, and her eyes brimming with jealousy. "Including Cui Liuxian, originally your grandchildren are only the three of us. Tch, I was always the one that was ignored the most."
"This girl, sit next to me and eat. Your mood is still sour!" Old Man Xian glanced at her.
Xian Guiying ignored the Old Man and turned to Jiang Ruolan. "Sister-in-law, grandpa is so biased, right?"
"Stop teasing your grandfather! You always made him angry, and now you even want to drag Ruolan with you." Zhan An put a piece of meat in Xian Guiying's bowl and said, "Even mealtime can't stop you from opening your mouth. You are still so energetic even though you have a fever!"
Xian Guiying pursed her lips and looked at Jiang Ruolan as if they shared a mutual understanding. They then smiled at each other.
While everyone was enjoying themselves, the sound of cars came from outside. Cui Liuxian, who reeked of alcohol, staggered into the room, and almost at the same time, everyone turned to look at her.
Her clothes were a bit messy as if she had been drinking outside for an entire day. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Xian Zihao, then Jiang Ruolan. Cui Liuxian suddenly leaned against the door and stared at them.
"Liuxian, you went out to drink?" Zhan An stood up in surprise.
The Old Man frowned as well. "You don't listen to my words! You even spent your day outside and came back smelling of alcohol!"
Cui Liuxian's eyes immediately reddened when she heard the Old Man scolding her. She bit her lips and stood by the door. She stared intently at Xian Zihao, who was pouring Jiang Ruolan another bowl of soup.
