My Little Sweet Wife Chapter 389

"Whether you help me or not, that is your choice, Senior Zhou. What has that got to do with me?" Jiang Ruolan said coldly.
Senior Zhou was unhappy with her indifferent attitude, but he just sighed. "Do you really think I'm a fool? Even if you didn't say it, I know about it. Someone was trying to separate a mother from her precious daughter and try scheming something on her daughter. After so many years, no one tried to give trouble to the Jiang Family, but this time, their family is suddenly in trouble. I know that's all thanks to Zihao. I know his character very well. If it weren't for Jiang Bingqing making him angry, he wouldn't have treated her like this."
"Child, tell me the truth. What really happened between you and the Jiang Family? Since Jiang Guanyu is your father, why didn't he say anything about you when I went to the Jiang Family? And when I mentioned you, why did Zhan Lian avoid the topic?" Senior Zhou narrowed his eyes and looked at her with a serious expression. "I met a man in jail yesterday. His name is Wei Donghai."
Jiang Ruolan suddenly felt very uncomfortable. She frowned and looked at Senior Zhou coldly.
Senior Zhou also just laughed lightly, "If I'm not mistaken, the man with the surname Wei also has a relationship with the Jiang Family. Wei Donghai will be sentenced to death next month, but the news about him has been sealed very tightly."
"I can see that, to avoid disturbing your emotions, Zihao has completely eliminated this bastard from your life. I have no intention at all to let him touch you, and Zihao has protected you pretty well now. Ruolan, if you don't want to recognize me as your grandfather, at least you should let me know how Jiang Guanyu betrayed my daughter at that time, how the Jiang Family bullied you, my granddaughter, and how Jiang Bingqing forced you to live like this."

Jiang Ruolan didn't expect Wei Donghai had been arrested. She looked at Xian Zihao in surprise. He didn't say anything but just smiled softly at her. She knew that Senior Zhou was right. Xian Zihao had protected her very well. He let her forget about it bit by bit and also chose to let the people who hurt her completely disappear before she knew it so that she wouldn't have too many memories.
For Senior Zhou to utter these words, it was clear that he had used a special channel to investigate many things and only asked for confirmation from her.
"Regarding Jiang Bingqing, if you want to help the Jiang Family, then please do so. The family doesn't have much justice to speak of. You have a lot of rights, you can release someone just because you want to. Being able to get your help is also Jiang Family's good fortune, so I will not interfere with it. In my entire life, I have never truly deluded that she would really reap the consequences. Jiang Family has people protecting them and helps them. Now that you have also come to ask for my opinion, what else can I say?"
Jiang Ruolan did not want to mention anything regarding Jiang Bingqing.
Whether Jiang Bingqing was being dealt with or being released had nothing to do with her. Xian Zihao had done a lot for her and she was satisfied with it. However, if Senior Zhou insisted on interfering, she didn't want her husband to go against him for no reason and she didn't want to create any trouble for him (Xian Zihao).
No matter what Xian Zihao thought, Jiang Ruolan didn't want to give him any more trouble.
"You think I really want to save that vicious girl?" Senior Zhou frowned. "Ruolan, are you trying to play dumb with me?"
At this moment, Senior Zhou's tone was a little agitated, "Zhou Qingling is my daughter after all. How can I harm you? Little girl, you …"

"Of course you will not hurt me. Even if you want to hurt me, now is the time for you to do it. What should I be afraid of? Zhou Qingling chose not to see you for the rest of her life, so why should I be related to you? Senior Zhou, you must behave yourself!"
"You!" Senior Zhou was furious.
"Senior Zhou, let's go have a chat." Xian Zihao spoke at the right time. His voice was light, but it successfully suppressed Senior Zhou's anger. "Ruolan rushed all morning to get here. Let her accompany her mother for a while."
Senior Zhou frowned but didn't say anything else. He turned around and followed Xian Zihao.
Before Xian Zihao left, he lightly patted Jiang Ruolan's shoulder to comfort her. Jiang Ruolan understood it and tried her best to smile at him.
When they walked out of the cemetery, Jiang Ruolan let out a deep breath and stood in silence for a while.
She was about to clean Zhou Qingling's tombstone when she suddenly realized that this place seemed to have been taken care of by someone. Moreover, there seemed to be something ahead of the tombstone, and at a glance, she knew that it was certainly not left by Senior Zhou.
It was a handful of fresh white lilies, and in the midst of the rain and wind, in front of the tombstone, stood two white candles that had been half-extinguished. Under the candle, there were pieces of paper that hadn't completely burned.
Jiang Ruolan's face darkened as she picked up a piece of paper. Because the piece of paper did not burn completely, its width was only two to three centimeters. The paper was wet by the rain and it was stuck to the table in front of the tombstone. The words on the paper were blurry, but one could tell that the paper was filled with words, like a letter.
It was a bit hard for her to understand what these words were and since the paper was also soaked by the rain, it very vague. It was not clear what these words were, but these words were similar to the sacrificial script. It was likely that only a woman could use them.
And these lilies, these two carefully lit white candles.
Jiang Ruolan and Jiang Yijun were the only people who cleaned Zhou Qingling's grave. Jiang Guanyu had only cleaned it twice over a dozen years ago and never came here again. He hated the remoteness of the place and because Zhan Lian was unhappy that he swept Zhou Qingling's grave.
So, although every year when she and Yijun came, they would avoid coming in the morning to avoid seeing people they didn't want to see, but they all knew in their hearts that Jiang Guanyu wouldn't come at all.
However, with Senior Zhou's character, he would never send his dead daughter such a considerate bunch of lilies. Moreover, Jiang Ruolan had seen Senior Zhou's writing. His writing was a kind of neat writing style and it had the temperament of a soldier.
These candles and these papers were definitely not what Senior Zhou had written.
This definitely would not have been left behind by Yijun because his calligraphy was different.
That was to say, besides these people, there were others who had been here before, and it was a woman.
Jiang Ruolan held a piece of paper in her hand and looked at the candles and lilies on the ground. She slowly stood up and looked around. Usually, there were no people in this cemetery, but coincidentally, there was someone dressed in black sitting in a wheelchair with an umbrella in front of a tombstone in the distance.
Jiang Ruolan didn't realize that there was another person standing in front of the tombstone in the cemetery not far from her. She looked back outside and thought, 'That person must have already left.'
