Chapter 340 - Why Did The Ancestral Hall Collapse

Jiang Yijun said nothing, just looked at her with a calm expression. Seeing her serious eyes and expression, he couldn't hold back a smile. "Explain what?"

"Do you want me to be clearer?" Jiang Ruolan looked at him coldly.

Jiang Yijun got up and took the banana from the fruit basket. He peeled the skin and patiently gave it to her. "Why don't you drink this chicken soup? Is it because you have no appet.i.te? Why don't you eat this fruit first while I go out to buy light fried rice and vegetables for you?"

Jiang Ruolan just looked at him. When she saw his indifference, she didn't force him anymore. She took the banana but didn't eat it. She just held it in her hand and sat on the bed, thinking.

Actually, there were many things that she would rather have guessed wrongly or thought wrongly. From her point of view, at least, she didn't want any of this to have anything to do with Jiang Yijun.

Jiang Ruolan preferred to believe that Jiang Yijun will forever be the brother she once trusted, a child who was clean, pure, kind, and bright. Until now, she preferred him to be a modest and frank man, with not much revenge hidden in the depths of his heart. She hoped that he had absolutely nothing to do with the incident at the ancestral hall that night.

Jiang Ruolan lowered her head and didn't look at the smile on his face. She immediately vented her anger on the banana by biting it hard. However, Jiang Yijun suddenly pulled the banana from her hand.

She looked at him in surprise, only to hear Jiang Yijun say while eating her banana. "I almost forgot, you just woke up. Eating bananas on an empty stomach is not good for your stomach. Why don't you drink the chicken soup first?"

Jiang Ruolan's attention was successfully distracted by him, but in her heart, she was furious.

This d.a.m.ned brat!

"This bottle of medicine is almost done. I'll go get a nurse." Jiang Yijun was very familiar with her personality. He knew that Jiang Ruolan was scolding him in her heart, so he took the opportunity to leave the ward with a smile on his face.

Jiang Ruolan could only sit on the bed and gritted her teeth while watching him leave the room.

After a while, the nurse came in and changed the medicine bottle. Meanwhile, Jiang Yijun held the medical alcohol wool on the back of Jiang Ruolan's hand for about a minute before he glanced at her and said, "You don't have to be so attentive to me. No one knows you better than me in this world."

Jiang Ruolan pushed him as hard as she could. However, since she had just woken up and had not eaten, she didn't have much strength to push him away, "Release me now. You don't need to press it anymore!"

"You think you know me very well?" Jiang Yijun didn't move, still pressing the back of her hand. He lowered his eyes and spoke in a low voice that only she could hear.

Jiang Ruolan was stunned as she looked at the side of his face. His face was similar to Xian Zihao's, but she could clearly tell that they were completely different.

Jiang Yijun slowly raised his eyes and looked at her calmly. He immediately released her hand and retreated a few steps back, but his gaze was still glued to her face.

Jiang Ruolan looked at his eyes and gradually found it hard to believe. "You …"

Jiang Yijun suddenly smiled, as if he wasn't the one looking at her with that solemn gaze from before. He raised his hand to caress her arm, "Don't let your thoughts go wild. Women who think too much will grow old quickly!"

"This chicken soup is a bit cold. I'll ask the cafeteria staff to heat it up before you eat it." With that, he took the thermos on the table and left the ward again.

"Why did the ancestral hall collapse?" As he was about to leave the ward, Jiang Ruolan suddenly spoke up.

Jiang Yijun's footsteps suddenly froze.

Jiang Ruolan's eyes gradually became misty as she stared at the man she once relied on to support her life, the brother she wanted to protect for her whole life. Her eyes were glued to his stiff back.

"Say it! Jiang Yijun, why did the ancestral hall collapse! Dad and grandpa said that more than a week ago, there was only a small gap in the roof of the ancestral hall. So, how can that solid wall mysteriously collapse?"

Jiang Yijun was silent, not saying anything, but his grip on the thermos tightened.

Jiang Ruolan bit her lip and said, "Now, only you and I are here, I need your explanation! Tell me clearly! Why did the ancestral hall collapse? Why were you there? If I were not about to die and almost buried, you wouldn't save me right?"

"Jiang Yijun, tell me, why were you there? Since you wanted revenge, why don't you bury me too and let me die with you! Anyway, I am now also part of the Xian Family, and one of the people you hated!"

Seeing that he was not moving, Jiang Ruolan became furious. She suddenly lifted the white blanket from her body and got out of bed. However, as she took two steps from the bed, her legs became soft due to a lack of strength.

Hearing the sound behind him, Jiang Yijun turned around and saw Jiang Ruolan holding the bed iron. He hurriedly walked towards her. "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you not to move? Go back to bed."

Jiang Ruolan seized the opportunity to grab his wrist. She looked at him with her bloodshot eyes. "Later on when you went to save the Old Man, mom and dad were already there. The Old Man couldn't think too much about it, you are his biological grandson after all. He will not think that you have anything to do with the collapse of the ancestral hall. Mom and dad just saw you carried me out but they didn't know what was going on, but I did! Even though I was knocked unconscious, my consciousness was still very clear!"

Jiang Yijun didn't shake off her hand. He only held her, but the hand on her shoulder became tighter and tighter.

"Why?" Seeing him silent, Jiang Ruolan suddenly felt sad because she knew he didn't want to lie to her. The coldness in her eyes gradually melted, leaving only disbelief in her voice, "Yijun, why did you do that?"

Jiang Yijun pursed his lips. He suddenly picked her up by the waist and placed her on the bed gently without saying anything.

After covering her once again with the blanket, he smiled and said, "If I can answer everything with a few words and reasons, then the world will no longer be the same. There are many reasons that cannot be explained."

"You!" Jiang Ruolan was about to get up, but Jiang Yijun pushed her down.

"Rest well, I will bring this chicken soup to the hospital cafeteria. After that, I will ask Zhan An to get it. I will not bother you again." He walked out of the room without looking back.

"Yijun! Jiang Yijun! Stop right there!"

It was clear that he didn't want Jiang Ruolan to be involved in this matter. However, this made her heart ache. Her once brother had become a completely different person. He no longer was the Jiang Yijun she knew back then.

What did Jiang Yijun want to do? What had he got to do with the collapse of the ancestral hall? Why didn't he explain to her!

Jiang Ruolan thought that Jiang Yijun's return to the Xian Family was a good thing for him. She thought that he wanted to get to know his ancestors and that he will gradually get used to living in the Xian Family. Jiang Ruolan naively thought, gradually, everything will be better.

Was it because she thought things were too simple and fate decided to prove it wrong to her?

But she didn't want to believe that Jiang Yijun, who had grown up so well in front of her, had become someone else.
