Chapter 227 Reprimand
Upon hearing this, Si Zuochen's expression darkened, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.
Thinking of Bai Zhuwei's nonchalant singing on her sickbed, she now stood in stark contrast to Jiang Ran.
Thinking of this, a look of disdain flashed across his face, and he suddenly let out a cold sneer.
Jiang Ran noticed that his expression was strange, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he looked puzzled.
Si Youlin, who had been observing these small details, quickly changed the subject and asked, "It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. Did the doctor give any instructions on precautions?"
Hearing him recite these proverbs at such a young age, Jiang Ran smiled slightly and chuckled, "You certainly know a lot."
Then she slowly opened her mouth to comfort him, "It's just a matter of avoiding spicy food and water. It's nothing serious, don't be so nervous."
Si Youlin felt somewhat relieved after hearing her repeated assurances. Seeing that Jiang Ran was about to leave, he exchanged a glance with Si Zuochen, nodded slightly, and instantly understood.
He hurriedly followed Jiang Ran back to the villa, taking care of her with unusual attentiveness.
Jiang Ran was shocked to see the two people attending to her so attentively. In the past, they had been somewhat restrained and awkward in taking care of her, but this time they were completely thinking of her and paying attention to every detail.
Lost in thought, Jiang Ran heard a knock at the door. She looked up and saw Si Youlin slowly walking in with dinner in his arms.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran's gaze fell on the tray, a look of surprise flashed across her face, and she chuckled helplessly, "I injured my arm, not my legs, so there's no need to bring this up for me."
Si Youlin ignored her words, walked straight to her, placed the tray on the table, and then replied, "My brother said you are a patient and need special treatment."
Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow, her face showing surprise. She hadn't expected such words to come from the usually cold-faced Si Zuochen. Then, her eyes flashed, and she asked softly, "Where is he?"
"The housekeeper said that stewing pig's trotters will make them cook faster, so he's supervising the process downstairs."
Seeing the two of them doing everything themselves, Jiang Ran felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
Just then, something suddenly occurred to him, his eyes flashed, and he asked in confusion, "By the way, what are you doing at Anhe Hospital?"
Upon hearing this, Si Youlin paused in his rice-serving motion, but only for a moment before resuming his normal routine.
With her lips slightly pursed, she slowly began to explain, "My brother and I went to ask Uncle Anan."
Upon hearing his explanation, Jiang Ran instantly understood. It seemed that Si Youlin hadn't stopped them from leaving, so he went to discuss it with Si Zuochen, and had no choice but to ask Gu Nan for advice.
Seeing that she didn't suspect anything, Si Youlin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He still felt indignant. If Si Zuochen hadn't hinted to him beforehand not to say anything, he would have told Jiang Ran about that woman's shameful behavior!
Just then, there was a sudden, abrupt knocking on the door.
"Come in."
Jiang Ran spoke in a deep voice, and Gu Nan pushed the door open and entered from outside.
When Si Youlin saw the person who came, he was startled. He had just gone to the hospital under the pretense of asking him about something, and now the person in question was right in front of him. It looked like he was about to be exposed.
He quickly made an excuse and turned to leave. Jiang Ran didn't think much of it when she saw this.
Then, she looked up at Gu Nan, raised an eyebrow, and asked in a cold voice, "Is there something you need?"
His words carried a hint of coldness, after all, he was one of the people who had previously doubted her.
Seeing her displeasure, Gu Nan knew she was still holding a grudge about what happened before. Her gaze swept over her and then noticed the wound on her arm.
He lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before."
Seeing that he was remorseful and had a good attitude, Jiang Ran didn't say anything more, and her expression softened a little.
Gu Nan then explained her purpose: "I was originally worried that there would be a conflict between Achen and the other person and that person, but I didn't expect to get news that they had already returned after I went to the hospital."
Jiang Ran realized that the person he was referring to was Bai Zhuwei, but she didn't expect that they would be in the same hospital. What a coincidence.
Then, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly realized something. A look of surprise crossed his face, and his gaze darkened as he asked, "How did they know she was in the hospital? Wasn't she waiting for me there?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Nan frowned, a look of surprise flashing across his face, and then he began to explain the whole story to her.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran's eyes sharpened, and she immediately understood why they had been evasive and changed the subject when she first asked them. So that was the reason.
Seeing that her expression was strange, Gu Nan spoke again, "I was worried that they wouldn't listen to my advice, so I specifically checked the positioning system on their watches. I didn't expect that they would actually be right."
Jiang Ran listened to Gu Nan's explanation, pursed her lips, and replied softly, "Okay, I understand."
"So you came to me this time hoping I could persuade them?"
When Gu Nan heard Jiang Ran directly state the purpose of her visit, a look of unease flashed across her face.
After all, who would ask their current partner to persuade their child not to hold a grudge against their ex? Isn't that just pure nonsense?
But given the current situation, he couldn't afford to think about all that. Si Yanxiao had his own plans and would naturally handle the situation thoroughly.
My only worry now is my two children. If they get angry and spread the news, the consequences could be disastrous.
Seeing Gu Nan hesitate, Jiang Ran's eyes suddenly sharpened, and she replied coldly, "You can leave now. I'll handle things myself."
Although he didn't give a clear answer in his words, he made his attitude clear.
Gu Nan immediately understood, nodded slightly, and replied softly, "Thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Ran seemed not to hear, while Gu Nan's face showed a hint of embarrassment before she turned and left.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Bai Zhuwei saw Si Yanxiao's cold expression and her eyes flashed. She gently comforted him, "Ayan, don't overthink it. Their words just now were probably just a moment of anger and unintentional."
"Children don't have that kind of thinking. How could they possibly have a reasonable and well-founded condemnation of the relationship between you and me? They've probably been tricked by someone with ulterior motives."
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao pursed his lips and showed displeasure.
Seeing that Si Yanxiao did not respond, Bai Zhuwei's eyes flashed with a strange light, and she continued, "Ayan, do you think it's possible that Jiang Ran is the mastermind behind this?"
"On the surface, they put on a very magnanimous appearance, but behind the scenes, they make their children the ones to take the lead."
As he spoke, he suddenly let out a cold sneer, his tone full of disdain, as if he had already concluded that it was Jiang Ran who did it.
As Si Yanxiao listened to her analysis, a cold look flashed across his face, and he felt a surge of anger rising in his heart.
He then coldly rebuked, "Whether Jiang Ran instructed them or not remains to be verified. Don't jump to conclusions. This is none of your business."
His words carried a strong warning. Bai Zhuwei was surprised that Si Yanxiao was so agitated. A sense of astonishment flashed through her mind, but she did not show it on her face.
With her brows slightly lowered and feigning a wronged expression, she quickly explained, "I didn't mean to interfere in your affairs; I was just saying it casually."
"Ayan, don't be angry..."
After realizing that his emotions were fluctuating quite a bit, Si Yanxiao lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I'm not angry."
After saying that, Fu offered a few more words of comfort in a soft voice, then excused himself and left.
Bai Zhuwei watched his departing figure, her eyes suddenly sharpening, her expression unreadable.
After leaving, Si Yanxiao drove straight to the villa.
He was extremely irritable throughout the journey. Since waking up, he had never scolded Bai Zhuwei harshly, simply because he felt that she had suffered a lot in the past six years.
It is already a great achievement to be able to return now, and we naturally cherish what we have lost and regained.
But for some reason today, hearing her make unwarranted comments about Jiang Ran and make arbitrary speculations, I couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
Upon arriving at the villa, Si Yanxiao stepped out of the car and walked towards the main hall.
At this moment, Jiang Ran was in the room questioning Si Zuochen and the others about the cause and effect they knew. Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Si Zuochen was preparing to tell them everything.
Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door.
Si Zuochen's words came to an abrupt halt. Upon seeing this, Si Youlin got up to look at the door. When he saw the person outside, his eyes sharpened, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his face.
Seeing that he was standing outside the door without making a move, Si Zuochen couldn't help but ask, "Ah Lin, who is it?"
Si Youlin lowered his gaze, turned around and walked inside, replying in a deep voice, "Daddy."
Si Yanxiao clearly sensed a change in their attitude towards him. He pursed his lips and a stern look flashed across his face.
He then walked straight into the room. Jiang Ran was surprised to see him suddenly visit.
