Zhan An hugged her tightly, patting her on the back. "Mom knows the Xian Family has let you down. This year, you avoid seeing us, mom understands. Mom knows what you're feeling in your heart, and mom also knows that you're not willing to part with Zihao, or else you wouldn't have accompanied him until this moment. Mom understands all of it. The Xian Family are the causes of your nightmares, that's why you don't want to go back to the Xian Family."

"Even if I understand, but for the sake of Zihao and the children, can you stop looking back? Please, don't ever leave Zihao again. The Old Man is already old and the people of his generation used their authority to do many selfish things when they were young, but mom can't say anything about it because this is the matter of the older generation. Child, stop tormenting yourself because of this."

Jiang Ruolan burst into tears and hugged Zhan An back tightly. "Zihao won't die. He won't die. He is Xian Zihao, he won't die."

Zhan An turned around and looked at the light outside the emergency room's door. Her eyes were filled with grief, but she did not say anything. She simply hugged Jiang Ruolan and comforted her softly.

On the other side, Xian Jian seriously asked the doctors about Xian Zihao's condition. Xian Zihao's condition was indeed very critical. Because of a severe head injury, in addition, he also had been soaked by the rain for two days, and in such a harsh environment, all his wounds were infected.

But the doctors are still giving their all.

Time passed minute by minute.

It's been two hours and Xian Zihao still hadn't come out. Jiang Ruolan sat numbly beside Zhan An, with her hands clasped in front of her chest.

The elevator door opened and two figures appeared. Jiang Yijun pushed Jia Zhenzhen, who was sitting in a wheelchair, towards Jiang Ruolan.

"Ruolan!"

"Lan!"

Jiang Ruolan raised her head slowly. Jiang Yijun and Jia Zhenzhen, who had rushed over to Imperial City a few days ago after finding out about her disappearance, had just gotten the news from the hospital.

Jiang Ruolan said nothing, only glanced at them once, then closed her eyes and clasped her hands together.

"Are you all right?" Jiang Yijun squatted down in front of her and held her shoulder. He frowned as he looked at her blank face and wounds. "How can you be trapped? Why are there so many wounds on your face?"

Jiang Ruolan didn't move but raised her head and asked softly, "What are you doing here? Where're Chiahao and An Na?"

Jiang Yijun paused for a moment before saying, "You went missing. When we can't contact you, the two of us immediately came here, but we can't casually enter the earthquake zone. I called Sister Yanmei to help take care of the children for two days, so don't worry, they're already a year old. They'll be safer with Sister Yanmei. Are you hurt?"

Jiang Ruolan didn't have the strength to reply, but after hearing that the children were temporarily given to Sister Yanmei to take care of, she finally relaxed.

Suddenly, Xian Jian stood up and looked at Jia Zhenzhen, who was sitting in a wheelchair, anxiously.

His actions caused everyone to look up. Zhan An stared at Jia Zhenzhen, not knowing what to think.

Jiang Ruolan's heart froze. Jia Zhenzhen was Jiang Yijun's mother and the woman who had an affair with Xian Jian.

Meanwhile, Xian Jian's gaze didn't seem to be that simple. Jiang Yijun frowned, as if he didn't expect that the Xian Family would arrive at this time.

Jiang Ruolan was about to open her mouth to ease the situation, but the way Xian Jian called Jia Zhenzhen caused her to freeze on the spot.

"You're not Jia Zhenzhen! You're Zhou Qingling!"

Jia Zhenzhen, who only wanted to see Jiang Ruolan's condition, turned around and looked at Xian Jian expressionlessly.

Jiang Ruolan astonishingly looked at the calm and somewhat terrifying 'Jia Zhenzhen'.

Zhou Qingling looked at Xian Jian indifferently, "So what if I wasn't Jia Zhenzhen? She also acted like this. What? Too speechless? After all, she was still forced to death by you, and I was just a substitute who lived for her."

Her words were a total admission for Xian Jian's words.

Jiang Ruolan's heart, which had been in a state of chaos, was frozen into ice within moments. She looked at the woman in front of her with a pale face. "You?

Zhan An then frowned as well. "I was wondering why you looked so different from before. After all, I had met Jia Zhenzhen twice. The most unusual thing is the look in your eyes. So you're not the same person. What's going on?"

Jiang Ruolan looked away from Zhou Qingling, looking at the silent Jiang Yijun who seemed to understand everything, then looked at the puzzled Zhan An and at the cold and furious Xian Jian.

"Is she Zhou Qingling?" She asked in an almost inaudible voice. Despite her efforts to suppress her emotions and calm herself down, her trembling voice still revealed her current state of mind.

"No wonder every time I wanted to look at you, you would throw things at me, preventing me from getting close to you. It's because you can't let me see your face!" Xian Jian stared at her in disbelief. "You weren't the one who died all those years ago."

Zhou Qingling laughed coldly. "Does it even matter? The two innocent women were still forced into a corner by your Xian Family. One was crazy, the other died. Since I became crazy in the end, of course she would die."

"You …" Xian Jian was furious, "You actually lied to everyone for so many years!"

"That's right, the one who should die many years ago was supposed to be me! The year before, I went to visit Xiaozhen in a sanatorium with my friend's help. She was really driven half crazy by you guys, but she was still conscious sometimes. But so what? She was still living a life worse than death until she wanted to commit suicide. I tried to stop her from dying like this, but her tolerance, compared to me, it's really too lacking."

"She was originally a kind and innocent woman without much scheming, and after being cheated by you, her son went missing just like that. She hated you and hated herself for falling in love with you. In the end, she was driven mad! She wanted to see her son, so I told her that her son had been adopted by me and had a good life. She wanted to visit her son and since we both have the same similarities, I pretended to be her for the time being and let her go. The funny thing is, when she left, she unknowingly had saved my life. As far as I know, during that year, Jiang Family and the Xian family forced her to hand over the necklace that Jiang Guanyu gave me back then."

"What is it? Can't I hate both of your families? Yijun is Xiaozhen's child, and Ruolan is my daughter! What do I have to be afraid of? As long as I can survive, as long as I can leave that damned place alive, I will take revenge! Take revenge for myself, for Xiaozhen, for the misfortunes my children had suffered! But I never thought that my daughter would actually marry into your Xian Family! I hate it, but at the same time, I don't want to hurt her. I can't stand the hypocritical face of your family!"

"Now that things have developed to this point, I'm not afraid to tell all of you, that I have planned all these things in such a long time! Jiang Guanyu, that heartless guy, had already gone into jail, and Zhan Lian, that crazy woman, also went in. The Jiang Family had fallen! Zhou Yang will never be able to find his own daughter or granddaughter and will never be able to get our forgiveness! And as for your Xian Family, the time for your retribution has come!"

"You're actually Zhou Qingling." Zhan An stood up and looked at her in disbelief.

Zhou Qingling sneered, "Do you know how Cui Liuxian was r*ped? Heavens never have eyes; of course, it wouldn't take revenge for my daughter! If I didn't send someone to destroy that Cui Liuxian secretly, how could I be willing to let her hurt my daughter again and again? Since Jiang Bingqing already went into jail, I can't do anything to her. Cui Liuxian can only be a scapegoat for death ~"
