Chapter 464 - Going To Imperial City II (1/2)
”Furthermore, I found out that you two divorced because there was a discrepancy. Xian Zihao was forced to leave by you! I don't understand, if it's only because of the children, he could have taken them away, but he didn't. He left the children with you, and every month, he will receive a stack of pictures. I once visited his office when he was out for a meeting and I noticed that one of his drawers was filled with pictures of your children.”
Qin Gengxin had asked Jiang Ruolan this question before. He said that he can't understand why it can't be him because he was on par with Xian Zihao, and he was her childhood sweetheart.
Perhaps no matter how good Xian Zihao was, he was still imperfect, as no matter how great Jiang Ruolan was, she would still feel the need to avoid everything because of her mother's hatred.
But sometimes, she really didn't know what's good about her, why can't she be replaced by someone else.
The other day, Jiang Ruolan invited Shi Zheng to eat donkey meat grilled outside the company. Shi Zheng looked down on food, saying it was dirty and unhealthy. It's full of sewer oil, so how can she eat it?
Jiang Ruolan just smiled and said, ”Yes, we all know that the food outside is not clean, but we still want to eat. Xian Zihao has accompanied me to eat here many times.”
Shi Zheng didn't say anything and left. Jiang Ruolan heard that a week after Shi Zheng returned to Imperial City, she applied for a transfer and returned to Beijing.
Jiang Ruolan thought that there were only two types of love in this world. One was the true love of a lifetime, where the couple will never leave each other and the other was the great helplessness the couple had to bear for the sake of their children after a lifetime of fighting.
Later on, she found out that there was actually another love. Although the couple was clearly in love, for some reason, they can not be together, so the destruction of this peace was just a kind of excessive obsession in their hearts.
Life wasn't like on a TV show. Jiang Ruolan didn't know exactly what love really was. When her children called her mommy and as she watched them grow up day by day with the passage of time, the longing towards Xian Zihao increased. An emotion like this will explode one day.
Jiang Ruolan thought all the feelings would all disappear gradually with their separation, but she never thought that watching the news of the earthquake on TV would destroy all her rational insistence.
”It's already too dark. Unfortunately, we have to continue the search operation tomorrow.”
Originally, the place was very close to Imperial City. Although everyone's phone line was not cut off, they were not in a good mood. Suddenly, a cell phone rang, causing the few people in the tent to look over.
Jiang Ruolan was stunned, she looked down at her phone. The number was unfamiliar, but she knew it was from Imperial City.
She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt her heart tremble violently. She quickly picked up the phone and put it by her ear. ”Hello?”
On the other side, Jiang Ruolan could only hear the sound of rain falling. She frowned. ”Hello?”
However, in that instant, the other party hung up the phone, and a beeping sound was heard.
Jiang Ruolan's expression changed as she hurriedly redialed the number. However, she only heard the cold female voice on the line, saying, ”The person is temporarily unable to reach.”
The unease in her heart grew. Jiang Ruolan didn't dare to think who it was.
She redialed the number while there was still a signal, but she still couldn't reach the person until her cell phone signal was completely gone.

The next day, Jiang Ruolan followed the provincial leader on a helicopter. By the evening, they finally arrived at the disaster area.
Currently, 80% of buildings in the disaster area had collapsed, and the number of casualties hadn't yet been calculated. Helicopters can only be parked on the school field and before everyone got off, the person in charge advised everyone to stay away from the disaster buildings.
