CHAPTER 185: CHAPTER 185: SENSE OF CRISIS

After a while, Ye Xinluo lifted her head, "I’m fine now."

She forced a smile.

Seeing her like this, Lan Shan was a bit worried, "Really okay now?"

"Yeah." Ye Xinluo nodded, slightly annoyed as she held her hand, "Since when did you become so nagging?"

Lan Shan rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Forget it, good intentions aren’t rewarded."

The two of them caused a ruckus in their seats for a while, unaware that someone not far away was keeping a constant eye on them.

"Sister Shihan, can you tell what their relationship is?"

Jiang Shihan smirked mockingly, surprised that this woman could even captivate the eldest daughter of the Lan Family.

A servant walked up to the two, "Miss, the master is looking for you."

Jiang Shihan turned her head, "What does he want with me?"

"I don’t know, the master asked you to go to the study on the second floor."

Next to her, Jiang Yue nudged her arm, "Sister Shihan, hurry up, maybe uncle really has something to see you about."

Jiang Shihan smiled, "You watch here for a bit, I’ll be right back."

With that, she lifted her skirt and headed towards the second floor.

Jiang Zhengguo stood in front of the study’s full-length window, turning around when he heard the door open.

Jiang Shihan pushed the door open, stepped inside, and closed it, "Dad, did you want to see me?"

Jiang Zhengguo turned around, glanced at his daughter, "Shihan, later you should apologize to Arui with me."

Jiang Shihan smiled slightly, "Dad, is that why you called me up here?"

Hadn’t this been mentioned a few days ago?

She had already gritted her teeth and endured it, so what’s the point of saying it again?

"No." Jiang Zhengguo said earnestly, "You must hold on tight to Arui."

"Dad, what do you mean by that?"

No idea why her father suddenly brought this up.

"Did you see the woman Arui brought today?"

Jiang Shihan nodded.

"Your Grandpa Bei Chen asked her in front of me if she wanted to be his granddaughter-in-law."

Jiang Shihan was stunned, almost unable to believe what she heard, her fists clenched tightly, a sense of crisis welled up.

...

Beichen Rui was chatting with someone when he saw the Jiang father and daughter walking towards him, raising an eyebrow slightly.

He could probably guess their intention.

"Rui." Jiang Shihan approached Beichen Rui and greeted him.

Beichen Rui barely reacted, just gave a slight nod before diverting his gaze from her.

About ten seconds of silence passed, Jiang Shihan bit her lip before speaking, "Rui, about the other day, I’m sorry."

"What about?" Beichen Rui raised an eyebrow.

Clearly, he wanted her to make things clear.

Her fists clenched, she had never apologized to anyone before, especially in such a public setting, she felt embarrassed.

"I shouldn’t have spoken against Jingxi."

Hearing this, Beichen Rui actually looked at her, speaking with a cold tone, "I also ask Miss Jiang not to speak carelessly in front of the child in the future."

Listening to his words, Jiang Shihan felt a chill in her heart, how could she not hear the coldness in his words.

Her heart ached as the distance between them had grown ever since that child returned to the Beichen Family.

Was it just her imagination?

Not far away, Ye Xinluo sat alone, and from where she sat, she could just see Beichen Rui’s direction.

She wondered what they talked about, seeing Jiang Shihan looking so upset.

At that moment, a figure blocked Ye Xinluo’s view.

Looking up, she saw Jiang Yue standing a couple of steps away, looking down at her condescendingly.

"Ye Xinluo, I really didn’t see it coming, you’re quite the capable one." Jiang Yue said sarcastically.
