Zhan An, Xian Guiying, Nanny Cheng, and the other servant hurried downstairs as well.

"What's going on?" Zhan An asked in surprise and quickly stepped forward, "Ruolan? Are you okay?"

Jiang Ruolan smiled. "Mom, I'm fine."

Zhan An looked at the fruit knife on the floor and looked at Cui Liuxian, who was sitting there in tears, but before she could open her mouth, the Old Man knocked his walking stick onto the floor hatefully, "Bastard! Liuxian, are you stupid?"

Instead of explaining, Cui Liuxian just sat there, crying. The pungent smell of alcohol that accompanied her tears made people unable to bear to look at her, but at the same time, it also made them hate her to the bone.

Jiang Ruolan never thought that Cui Liuxian would want to hurt her child. The last shred of tolerance in her heart finally broke down. If it wasn't for Xian Zihao's timely appearance and comforting words, she would definitely slap Cui Liuxian right away!

Cui Liuxian was crying loudly as she slowly raised her head to look at the frowning Xian Zihao with tears in her eyes.

Xian Zihao was looking at her with a cold gaze as he consoled Jiang Ruolan. He pursed his lips and did not say anything. Just as Cui Liuxian was about to open her mouth to call his name, Xian Zihao frowned and said indifferently, "If something happened to her, I won't let you go."

Cui Liuxian immediately bit her lips and looked at him helplessly. After a moment, she slowly turned her head and looked at Old Man Xian, who had an ice-cold expression on his face. "Grandpa …"

"How can you be so stupid!" The Old Man was outraged. He took in two deep breaths and shook his head painfully. "Liuxian, you have let grandpa down!"

"Sister-in-law?" Xian Guiying walked closer and took the fruit knife from the floor. She glanced at Jiang Ruolan who looked scared but was not injured, then gripped the fruit knife tightly and looked coldly at Cui Liuxian who was sitting there helplessly with tears and laughed out loud. "Are you crazy? Ever since you were little, you have always been like this. It doesn't matter if I tolerate you, but now you can not even tolerate the child in my sister-in-law's womb? You better think clearly, the person you want to hurt with this knife is grandpa's great-grandson!"

After saying that, Xian Guiying threw the fruit knife on Cui Liuxian's body. "What a brainless idiot!"

Cui Liuxian bit her lip as she suddenly took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice, "Jiang Ruolan, what right do you have to steal everything from me!? Why? Why?!"

"What's wrong with you? If it weren't for grandfather pitying you, how could you have acted so arrogantly and carelessly in the Xian Family all these years! Grandpa only did all this because your grandfather sacrificed himself to save him. Do you really think that you are so great that everyone must bow down to you?! How many times have you said the word 'snatch'? When everything in this world that you want is taken away by someone else, in your mind, that person was evil because she had snatched everything from you? Then look at yourself! Everything in this family is mine and you snatch it from me but do I make a big fuss about it? Heh, what a joke! Did you get water in your head? Do you need me to send you to the hospital to take a look?" Xian Guiying glared at her coldly.

Needless to say, after more than twenty years of playing the role of a thief and being accused of being a villain, Xian Guiying had never complained with tears in her eyes before. What qualifications did Cui Liuxian have to complain about it?

"Grandpa…" Cui Liuxian sniffed with her nose, and suddenly ran to the Old Man, who still had anger written on his face.

Seeing that the Old Man didn't look too good, Cui Liuxian immediately knelt in front of him while crying, "Grandpa, you promised that you will not let outsiders be your grandson's wife easily! You said that you would make Jiang Ruolan leave the Xian Family! You said that you will definitely let Zihao marry me! You promised me! Grandpa, can you not accept her? If you accept her, then there will be no one else by my side! Grandpa, please. I beg you."

Cui Liuxian cried as she grabbed on the Old Man's pants, crying as if she was in despair, like an orphan who had been abandoned by everyone. Not to mention the Old Man, even Xian Guiying couldn't stand her attitude any longer. She forcefully turned her head and sat to the side, ready to watch from the sidelines.

Xian Guiying knew that Old Man Xian wouldn't do anything to Cui Liuxian! She didn't even need to have a shred of hope. All she needed to do was quietly watch.

The Old Man just stood there with his walking stick, looking down at Cui Liuxian's crying and wronged expression, not saying a word.

"Grandpa …" Cui Liuxian continued kneeling on the floor, "I know my mistake, and I also know that you always close your eyes and protect me but I really like Zihao. Grandpa... You know, Zihao is the future I want."

"If my brother really wanted to marry you, he would have done so a long time ago. He won't wait for sister-in-law to appear. Even without her presence, my brother refused to marry you after so many years. Don't you know what that means? How ridiculous it is when you truly consider yourself a highly sought after goods." Xian Guiying frowned.

Cui Liuxian froze and knelt on the spot, tugging at the Old Man's pants. She didn't plead to him anymore, only letting her tears fall.

"If my brother is willing to marry you, why do you need to ask grandfather? Could it be that you want grandfather to be the judge for you and personally kill his unborn great-grandson? Cui Liuxian, has your selfishness evolved to this extent?"

"That's not Zihao's child! No! She must be sleeping with another man! She might be faking it! It was to make grandpa like her! Even if she was really pregnant with Zihao's child, grandpa only loved that child! Grandfather will never accept her!" Cui Liuxian muttered to herself.

She then laughed, "That won't happen--"

*Pah!*

A loud slap echoed in the living room.

The Old Man's teeth itched with hatred as he looked at Cui Liuxian, who was lying on the floor after being slapped by him. "Evil creature! You are such an evil creature!"

Cui Liuxian never expected the Old Man to hit her. She stared at him blankly and lay there without moving, but her entire body was trembling as tears kept falling down from her eyes.

"Cui Liuxian, you..." The Old Man pointed at her hatefully. "Did I spoil you too much? Do you really think I'm blind!?"

"Grandpa …"

The Old Man was about to say something when he suddenly gasped harshly. Jiang Ruolan was startled and immediately pushed Xian Zihao away. Everyone immediately walked over to the Old Man.

"Grandfather!"

"Old Master!"

Jiang Ruolan touched his chest and rubbed gently. "Grandpa, don't be angry, this is my fault. Don't be angry, you have to take care of your body."

The Old Man shook his head and sighed, "I'm fine. I'm too old to be too angry!"

As he said that, he coughed once, placing his hand on Xian Zihao's and Jiang Ruolan's hand, and shook it hard, "My own grandson and granddaughter, no matter how I scold you, all of the blood in your body is still my blood. I know the nature of my grandchildren. My heart aches when something bad happens to you, but Liuxian, you… Grandpa has doted on you for so many years, partly because I feel that I owe Old Cui, and secondly because I have a merciful heart. But you …You really disappoint me."

Cui Liuxian just lay on the ground floor, crying and unable to speak.

"Dad, calm down." Zhan An also went to stroke the Old Man's chest. Her eyes were full of worry.

"Put Liuxian in her room and let her think things through!" The Old Man closed his eyes and sighed.
