Chapter 205 - You May Feel Confused About Something Right Now But Once You Realize The Truth, You Might Even Want To Kill Yourself

When Xian Zihao saw her calmly walking over, his expression froze. His dark eyes gradually filled with guilt and helplessness.

"Ruolan?" He frowned.

"I used to work in a small clinic near the university for more than a year. Occasionally, there would be girls who would cut their wrists and commit suicide due to various setbacks. It's pretty easy for me to stop the bleeding and bandage them." Jiang Ruolan remained calm, there's no slightest hint of pain in her eyes.

On the contrary, she smiled magnanimously and naturally stood by her husband and the Xian Family. With her status as Xian Zihao's wife, she decided to help Zhou Shufen.

She didn't know if every member of the Xian Family knew about Xian Zihao's past relationship with Zhou Shufen, but right now, she didn't have time to care about those various gazes on her.

When Xian Zihao's burning gaze was fixed on her, she lowered her eyes, avoiding his gaze, and watched Zhou Shufen's slightly pale face.

"Miss Zhou, if you believe me, let's go upstairs. I will try to help you stop the bleeding."

Zhou Shufen glanced at her without fear. However, when she saw the peaceful smile in Jiang Ruolan's eyes, she was slightly surprised. However, in a split-second, she asked, "Can Miss Jiang really stop this bleeding?"

"This is not an ordinary minor injury. Arterial hemorrhage is nothing compared to the others. Miss Jiang, stop boasting!" Senior Zhou suddenly said coldly.

Jiang Ruolan turned around and looked at the rebuke in Senior Zhou's eyes. She smiled and said, "What if I promised you that if I could not stop the bleeding, and if something really happened to her, you can use my life to compensate her."

With that, Jiang Ruolan immediately grabbed Zhou Shufen's arm. She saw Senior Zhou staring at her face from a distance, and at the same time, she looked up at Xian Zihao, who was still holding onto Zhou Shufen's wrist. His eyes were on her.

"Leave her to me." Facing Xian Zihao's cold and serious black eyes, she smiled.

He slowly let go of Zhou Shufen's hand. Jiang Ruolan used a little of her strength to help Zhou Shufen got up, and at that moment, her arm was suddenly gripped tightly by the familiar and warm palm.

Jiang Ruolan lowered her head and her gaze following the thick, warm hand and then met with Xian Zihao's eyes, which seemed to contain thousands of emotions.

"Ruolan." He called out to her in a faint voice. Seeing her calm face, he said nothing more but simply said softly, "Thank you for your help."

Jiang Ruolan smiled faintly and pulled her arm out of his grasp without leaving a trace. After a moment, she stopped smiling and turned around, supporting Zhou Shufen as they walked towards the stairs.

Zhou Shufen walked all the way up the stairs with Jiang Ruolan supporting her. She looked at the stairs from time to time as well at Jiang Ruolan's expressionless face.

When they reached the second floor, Jiang Ruolan brought her into the guest room shown by the Xian Family servant.

As they inside the room, Zhou Shufen opened her mouth and said, "Miss Jiang, your thoughts are really deep. Even I am surprised by your calmness."

Jiang Ruolan helped her to sit down, her gaze sweeping over her pale face. But the promise in her bright eyes was still as obvious as ever. She didn't say anything. She knew that if she didn't stop the bleeding now, the consequences would be even greater.

Jiang Ruolan's hand quickly took the clean towel provided by the Xian Family servants and covered the wound on Zhou Shufen's wrist. After wiping off her blood, she quickly disinfected the wound before more blood gushed out, then replaced it with a clean sterile.

Since Old Man Xian likes to live in such a remote place, which was quite far from medical facilities, the Xian Family provided an emergency medical kit in each room.

Jiang Ruolan took out a bandage and a triangular towel and bandaged it tightly on the wound to stop the bleeding. Then she wrapped it three times above her arm, tied it into a half knot, put a short stick on it, and then tied it into a double knot.

The tourniquet was tightly tied up by her, and the bleeding gradually lessened. After a few minutes, the bleeding gradually stopped.

"I can stop the bleeding for now. We have to wait for the doctor to treat the wound on your wrist in a more professional way." Jiang Ruolan took a wet towel and wiped the blood from her hand.

Zhou Shufen was a little shocked. She looked at her wrist, and her bright eyes once again fell on Jiang Ruolan. "Why are you so kind to me? You want to use your magnanimity to make the Xian Family acknowledge you and use such a method to make Zihao feel guilty towards you?"

Zhou Shufen finally decided to get right to the point.

Jiang Ruolan's curved lips turned into a smile. "Miss Zhou hoped that I would behave like what you had imagined in your mind, right?"

Zhou Shufen slightly raised her eyebrows. Her cold and arrogant eyes tinged with a hint of playfulness. "Is that not the case?"

"If I really do as you say, purposely making myself look like a saint and knowing that my husband's ex-girlfriend has a goal, yet purposely showing this kind of attitude, to let guilt tie my husband's heart, then this proves that my position in his heart is not worth mentioning at all. I don't need to use this kind of method to keep a man."

Actually, everyone had already experienced this kind of feeling before. Right now, Jiang Ruolan wasn't just patiently enduring. It was just that she wasn't used to peeling her own scars, nor was she used to having her face torn off in front of so many people.

Although she had always felt that she was quite shrewd and was definitely lacking in manners, at this moment, she really wanted to rush forward and smash this woman's head into pieces.

"Miss Jiang is indeed a smart person, but a smart person like you would harm yourself instead. You may feel confused about something right now, but once you realize the truth, you might even want to kill yourself." Zhou Shufen tried to convince her in good faith.

"How could that be? Miss Zhou, who such a smart person, is still alive and doing well." Jiang Ruolan smiled.

"I was with Zihao when I was eighteen." Zhou Shufen's smile faded, and then she said seriously, "We met each other for a year, then we fell in love for three years."

Jiang Ruolan raised her delicate eyebrows. She looked straight at Zhou Shufen expressionlessly as she (Zhou Shufen) was recalling her memories.

A sweet smile gradually rose on Zhou Shufen's face.

Jiang Ruolan admitted that seeing such a happy smile really stung her eyes, but she still said nonchalantly, "So, what are you trying to say?"

"He doesn't love you. Your marriage won't last, so why should you tie yourself to a marriage that doesn't belong to you at all?"

"Here I am, thinking that Miss Zhou really knows the meaning of love? Do you know what love meant? Love = Loyal Loyalty + Observant Mentality + Validated Respect + Excuse Tolerance, not the selfish, self-righteous possessiveness, nor the so-called passion. The kind of relationship you're talking about has a short lifespan, and in less than a year, it's enough to make two people hate each other."

Looking at the confident smile in Zhou Shufen's eyes, Jiang Ruolan simply curled her lips.

"You're wrong." Zhou Shufen's eyes flashed. "There were only two kinds of love in this world. One of which was love that only existed in TV dramas and novels, no matter how dumb it was, it could move you to tears, just like Xian Zihao and I. No matter how close we were at the beginning, ultimately we lost each other in the end, but because we had a past and love between us, we have never forgotten each other for the past five years. The other type is the so-called 'love' that you said just now. Even if the other party doesn't love you, you can still stay up all night in pain for him. But Miss Jiang, you should know that no matter how much pain you suffer, everyone will only laugh at your stupidity, including that man who doesn't even love you. "

"Everyone has a beautiful first love! But there might not always be a good ending. If I were you, I would not pester a person from the past. A person who has already left your side." Jiang Ruolan lowered her eyes, replying with sincerity and seriousness to Zhou Shufen's words of contempt.

As expected, Zhou Shufen became angry and laughed coldly, "Really? So Miss Jiang thinks this emotionless marriage will be your lifelong guarantee? You won't let go even if you die?"

"Miss Zhou really can misinterpret other people's understanding of marriage." Jiang Ruolan looked into her eyes without fear, "Zihao is a very responsible man. In this marriage, the one who has always been in the lead is him, so I'm afraid there are some things that cannot be as you wish."

Zhou Shufen suddenly smiled faintly. "Do you know that Zihao came to see me the day after my grandfather came to H City?"
