Chapter 261 - A Strong Woman II (1/2)

The phone screen kept blinking. Jiang Ruolan only looked at the number she was already familiar with, she did not answer or hung up the phone.

When the ringtone stopped ringing, the screen went dark again.

Every marriage should have a sense of all love and affection. Being together didn't mean that you will never be separated. It was rare for a marriage to last long, especially for a marriage that initially begins without love.

In fact, this ending was already in anticipation. This marriage lasted only because of her obsession and because she wanted something that was not hers.

Separated by the unconnected phone, Jiang Ruolan couldn't see Xian Zihao's expression, but she was sure it was relaxed. Maybe he will feel a little remorse for letting this relationship linger one day.

This so-called love, until the end, you will never know how fragile it was.

Unlike H City, F City was not as bustling as during the day, nor it was bright with lights at night.

At this time, the residential area looked quiet and almost deserted. Jiang Ruolan switched off her cell phone, took out the small sim card, and broke it. Then she threw it into the trash can.

A bird landed on the concrete windowsill next to her window. It stretched its neck and screamed twice. It was unknown whether it was calling its lost companion or not.

Perhaps one day, this bird will also be like her. Life in this world was like glass. How many glasses need to be shattered before one finally finds his happiness? Jiang Ruolan will always remember the figure in the blue pool of the Clubhouse. She will remember Xian Zihao's words to her while he was hugging her in their house, Greenville Residence.

Jiang Ruolan will also remember the words Xian Zihao said to her when he held her hand. She will always remember everything he did for her. But will Xian Zihao remember her one day?

Perhaps, at some point in a certain year, Xian Zihao will remember that he once married Jiang Ruolan and all the promises he once made to her. But as time goes on, he will slowly forget about her.

Jiang Ruolan went back into the kitchen to heat up the milk. She looked at the flickering blue flames under the hot milk pot while lost in her thought once again.

The next morning, Jiang Ruolan was awakened by a knock on the door. She blurrily got up from the bed and opened the door. Sister Qiao was waiting for her at the door.

”Ruolan, aren't you saying that you are looking for a job? Aren't you a journalist and editor in the Commerce Department? I have a job vacancy for you, but not in that department but in another department. They are really in a hurry to recruit people. It is a vacancy in the entertainment journalist division. Do you want to try it? Since we are old friends, they will probably give you a chance on my behalf.” As soon as Sister Qiao entered the door, she nagged her, ”By the way, I heard that you broke up with that Han guy?”

Jiang Ruolan and Han Xuegang have been exemplary couples at the university for two years. They were both famous among various aunties nearby. However, when Jiang Ruolan heard his name from Sister Qiao, she felt it was a lifetime ago.

Seeing Jiang Ruolan nod, Sister Qiao immediately pulled her to a couch and sat next to each other. ”I have a 25-year-old nephew. He is only a few months older than you. He works in a chemical plant in F City and has a good family situation, has two houses with a monthly salary of more than 5,000 yuan, he can even get accommodating his wife and children very well. He has reached the age of marriage, but in the unit, the one where he stays, there are all the men by his side, and he does not have the opportunity to come in contact with some suitable girls.”

Jiang Ruolan laughed as she did not expect Sister Qiao would be her matchmaker.

In the blink of an eye, it was as if her life had returned to the past and nothing had changed. Just like Yi Meixiu had said, how could she, Jiang Ruolan, have a relationship with a CEO?
