My Little Sweet Wife Chapter 114 - The Past I

Chapter 114 - The Past I

Marriott Hotel was a high-end hotel belonging to the first and second families in the country. Most of the people who were able to stay in the Marriott Hotel were rare and influential.

As soon as Jiang Ruolan stepped out of the car, she shivered from the cold wind that suddenly hit her face. She only wore a long-sleeved shirt and a thin jacket, but she did not think that the city was now colder in the fall than a few years ago.

She couldn't help but raise her hand to rub her arm. Suddenly, she felt the warmth in the back of her shoulder. As she turned around, she saw Xian Zihao unconsciously take off his jacket and put it on her.

"Have them take you to your room and ask the hotel staff to prepare some food. I still have some things I need to do. You could use this time to revise the materials Secretary Du gave you." Xian Zihao pointed at the two hotel staff who were already guarding the entrance of the hotel.

"Then I'll be going in." Jiang Ruolan nodded and suddenly stopped in front of the entrance. She wanted to return his coat, but when she looked back, Xian Zihao was already in the car, and the black car fled in the blink of an eye.

She looked at the car and thought that no matter where Xian Zihao went, there would always be a limousine to pick him up. He probably wouldn't catch a cold.

Jiang Ruolan turned around and followed the hotel staff inside.

When the two staff went in, they specifically asked her if she should get another room or go to President Xian's room. Without thinking, Jiang Ruolan asked for another room.

She knew Xian Zihao's room was 1909, and her room had been arranged by the two staff numbered 1908, just across from his room.

Jiang Ruolan only glanced at the door opposite and went into her room.

This was the Marriott Hotel's VIP suite. As soon as she entered, his feet stepped on the soft carpet. She turned on the lights and looked inside. The room looks very luxurious and comfortable.

Jiang Ruolan slowly walked to the large and bright window and lightly opened the heavy dark gold curtain. Although it was not even 6 o'clock, the sky had already darkened by more than half.

It has been more than seven years, and Jiang Ruolan never thought she would set foot in this city again.

This city had given her too many memories that she would never forget. Perhaps all those memories had already been deeply ingrained in her life. She had thought that those memories were things that could be pa.s.sed on and could be forgotten forever but now, standing in this city once again, her heart was unable to feel at ease.

Looking at the city from a distance, which was already lit with lights and at the twenty-four-storey building next to the TV tower, Jiang Ruolan suddenly remembered the memory of her mother committing suicide twenty years ago.

Back then, that building was the only tallest building in G City, and 20 years later, there were skysc.r.a.pers everywhere. If it wasn't for her clear sense of direction, she probably wouldn't have been able to find the 24 story building that had been renovated countless times.

She suddenly remembered her father, Jiang Guanyu...

The famous chairman of the Jiang Family in G City. Back then, Jiang Guanyu was only a department manager who had just obtained a degree, and it had taken him more than ten years to reach this position. And the person who helped him reach the top was his wife, Zhan An's sister, Zhan Lian.

Jiang Ruolan remembered that she was only a few months older than Jiang Bingqing. Did someone abandon their wife and daughter to marry into another family for the sake of their fame and position, or was her mother really just a mistress that he, Jiang Guanyu, had been with?

It was clear to all of them that the reason why Zhan An didn't make things difficult for Jiang Ruolan and accepted her was because she had personally watched her own sister s.n.a.t.c.h Jiang Guanyu away from her mother.

Since things had come to this, Jiang Ruolan could only blame her mother for her foolishness in the past… It was also so foolish that it made people's hearts ache for her.

At that time, although the Zhan Family was not considered to be a large family in the country, they were not a small family either. On top of that, the Zhan Family was related to General Xian, and Zhan Lian was pregnant as well.

In the end, Jiang Guanyu chose to be the son-in-law of the Zhan Family, kicking away the woman who was willing to give herself to him, including the child in her womb. He did not even slightest care about it.

As for who was the third party, those who were virtuous all along clearly understood it and yet they gave the innocent and dead the name of a moral traitor.

Where did the word mistress come from?

That's because Zhan Lian had told everyone who had seen her and Jiang Yijun, "This child, they were abandoned by their mother. Their mother was my husband's mistress. He was young and unmarried at the time. Their mother abandoned them, and I can't watch them starve to death. That's why I raised them."

When she was young, Jiang Ruolan didn't know anything. She thought that her mother really did destroy other people's families ...

Madam Jiang had said that her mother was a shameless b*tch, and Jiang Bingqing had said that her mother had destroyed other people's families and said that she (Jiang Ruolan) shouldn't have lived in this world because she's a bad child.

Since she was young, she had always thought that she owed others everything. Even though she clearly had the strength to resist, she could only allow herself to be beaten and scolded. She didn't dare to retaliate, and she didn't even dare to talk back because she felt that her existence at that time was a mistake.

When Jiang Ruolan was sixteen, she found out the truth from the mouths of a few elderly people. Even though she already knew the truth, there was still nothing she could do. Perhaps it was because she had been in the Jiang Family for twelve years, she was already accustomed to all the insults hurled at her.

Until she turned seventeen, and what happened that year made her entirely determined to leave the Jiang Family.

Because of Jiang Guanyu's cowardice, Zhan Lian's arrogance and Jiang Bingqing's spiteful appearance, Jiang Ruolan decided that she couldn't take it anymore.

Even though you are not in the wrong, and even if you had evidence, no one would care about you. Instead, they would drive yourself mad. Some people were just like this.

There was no justice in the world. Jiang Ruolan knew that at a very young age. When she could not resist it all, she had chosen to stay away from these nightmares. She couldn't decide her fate seventeen years ago, but since she left the Jiang Family, she was able to determine the future for herself.

Her future could no longer be related to anyone from the Jiang Family!

Therefore, when Jiang Ruolan found out that Han Xuegang had chosen Ling Fei'er for the sake of fame, she would act so calmly and sneer at them. She wouldn't waste her time on this kind of people.

The world has become so rotten that emotions can always be used against each other. Women always wanted to find tall tree branches to fly and become a phoenix, and incompetent men always wanted to find a woman who can help them rise to power.

Memories of the past sprang up like a spring.

Jiang Ruolan was standing in front of the french windows and looking at the edifice that had unveiled the beginning of her tragic childhood.
