Chapter 509 - Qin Gengxin’s Coldness
After that, he got into the car, threw the toy next to him aside, and said after a few seconds, "What happened to Xian Enterprise in the last few days? Is Wei Zhengsheng still in charge?"
The driver was stunned for a moment, then he looked at the expressionless Qin Gengxin through the rearview mirror. "You haven"t talked about Xian Enterprise in these two years, and you"ve also canceled two important cooperation plans. Why did you suddenly mention it?"
Qin Gengxin closed his eyes to calm his mind. Although he did not open his eyes, his tone was neither cold nor warm. "Am I asking you or are you asking me?"
After hesitating for a moment, the driver said, "Xian Enterprise has always been controlled by Xian Guiying and Wei Zhengsheng for many years, but I have heard that Xian Guiying is rarely involved in company"s matters these last two or three years. Nowadays, almost all of Xian Enterprise"s authority is in the hands of Wei Zhengsheng and I heard that this man used to be Xian Zihao"s right-hand man."
Hearing this unprofessional "driver" spouting nonsense that Qin Gengxin, himself, had known about for many years, he glared at him. "You don"t want a raise this year, do you? Do you want to go to the logistics department and train again?"
The driver immediately cleared his throat. "What I mean is, Wei Zhengsheng is currently in charge of Xian Enterprise. As for Xian Guiying, I think she should be at the age where she should get married, and I haven"t heard anything about her in the past two years. Yet, thinking of the cold beauty that is famous in the American business world, it"s very hard to imagine who could get her, tsk tsk ~"
"Eh? Speaking of Xian Guiying. Last year, I heard that she lived in a villa on the east side of Boston. Haven"t you also lived there before, President Qin? Why haven"t I seen you live there in the last two years?"
While the driver was driving, he looked at Qin Gengxin in the rearview mirror.
Qin Gengxin didn"t open his eyes. He just sat silently and didn"t answer the question.
The driver pursed his lips. He knew that even though Qin Gengxin always treated him well, a calm atmosphere like this might have meant that he wasn"t in a good mood. He better not offend him.

"Mommy." Little Qin Wenqian hid in Xian Guiying"s arms and looked around as if she was trying to hide from someone.
When Xian Guiying saw Qin Gengxin here, she immediately turned around and walked away. Qin Wenqian thought her mother was hiding from something, so she obediently kept hugging her, not making any noise.
After Qin Gengxin"s car left, Xian Guiying slowly walked out of the corner with Qin Wenqian in her arms. She calmly looked at the Bentley, which was getting farther and farther away.
She had been married to Qin Gengxin for two years, and he had arrived late on the day of the wedding. His face was expressionless and without a sense of guilt at that time.
When the Qin Family received their son"s marriage notice, they rushed to H City, where they found out that Xian Guiying was pregnant and about to give birth. The Qin Family knew that the Xian Family was a famous family and they also knew that Xian Guiying would never get married for these kinds of reasons. They thought the marriage between their son and Xian Guiying was based on love.
However, Qin Gengxin"s att.i.tude at the wedding was neither too warm nor too cold, causing Xian Guiying, who had never interacted much with the Qin Family, to feel embarra.s.sed. She remembered the confused gaze of her parents-in-law that day and various expressions from friends and relatives of the Qin Family.
She also remembered that day when they had taken the oath before the priest. Qin Gengxin put his hand in his pocket and looked sloppy. When he said "I"m willing", he looked at her coldly.
At that time, Xian Guiying already felt a chill on her spine, but it was already too late for her to regret it.
At night, Qin Gengxin immediately said to her, "Xian Guiying, I, Qin Gengxin really hate being forced by others! I can give you marriage, but you must never show your face in front of me again! We will never meet each other again!"
At that time, Xian Guiying was standing by the door of a very beautiful new room that had been decorated by the Qin Family. She quietly watched his back as he opened the door and left.
Ever since Qin Gengxin rushed to Xian Residence to admit that her child was his, and ever since the day he clenched his teeth and decided to take on some responsibilities in front of her grandfather, Xian Guiying knew that she and Qin Gengxin would never be friends again for the rest of their lives.
In less than a week, they both returned to the United States. Qin Gengxin took her back to his residence in Boston, asking her to stay there.
He had never set foot in the house again, no matter whether it"s on a holiday or a special day.
Even on the day Qin Wenqian was born, Xian Guiying was in the middle of a meeting at the company and Wei Zhengsheng, who was in the conference room with her, took her to the hospital. As the father of the child, Qin Gengxin only called the hospital a day after the birth and asked the doctor about the child"s condition.
Qin Wenqian never met her father, and for the past two years, Xian Guiying only inadvertently saw Qin Gengxin"s silhouette or the back of his figure in some well-known business or Times magazine.
She hadn"t asked about him because she"d known from the start that the marriage was a ritual he"d used to get back at her.
To say it was a wedding, it would be more like a funeral for her.
"Mommy, why aren"t you talking?" Qin Wenqian moved slightly in her arms, touching her chin with her (Qin Wenqian) small hand.
Xian Guiying regained her sense and patted her daughter"s back. She smiled, "Does Qianqian still want a Barbie doll? I will buy it for you when I get there. Can I take you to Auntie Dai to get some candy with her?"
"Oh." Qin Wenqian blinked her eyes and nodded. She looked unhappy, but she did not dare to protest. She could only pout her little mouth.
Qin Wenqian"s personality was very lively, but she was only lively in front of Xian Guiying. Other than her, when in front of everyone else, she was very obedient and quiet. Even Secretary Dai, who often came to play with her after she was born, wouldn"t be too intimate.
Xian Guiying didn"t want her child to notice something was wrong. Although Qin Wenqian was still young, she was very sensitive to many things.
After sending Qin Wenqian to Secretary Dai, Xian Guiying walked back to the children"s toy store. After confirming that Qin Gengxin was gone, she went in to buy a Barbie doll for her daughter.
Qin Wenqian hadn"t yet reached the age where she cried and begged for her father, but she was still sane enough to know that she didn"t have a father. When she was two years old, she would ask the question, "Where is Qianqian"s daddy?"
This question was quite difficult for Xian Guiying to answer.
That she didn"t have a father? However, Qin Gengxin was still alive. Furthermore, they live in the same city and deliberately avoid each other. It was quite difficult to prevent their child from suffering, but if so, where was her father?
Until a few months ago, after Qin Wenqian watched the cartoon, she stood at the door of the room with a Barbie doll in her hand and said sadly that she wanted a father.
