Chapter 718 - Xian Jian’s Anger

Xian Guiying didn"t expect Jiang Ruolan to suddenly bring up this topic. A trace of awkwardness flashed across her face. "Qianqian"s health isn"t good. I only wanted to focus on taking care of her, and I don"t want to be distracted. I"ve never thought about having another child."

"Why would you be distracted? You are only giving birth to a playmate for your child. The two children aren"t too far from each other in terms of age. They could grow up together and accompany each other as they grew up. Have you ever thought that no matter how much parents love their children, they will always leave before their children do? At that time, with no one at her side, will you be at ease?"

"Moreover …" Jiang Ruolan glanced at Qin Gengxin, who had just finished with his call. "You"re not going to take care of the kids yourself. Let Qin Gengxin fully understand how much he missed out on in the years after your marriage."

"What are you talking about?" Qin Gengxin walked over and smiled at them. When he saw the two of them turning to look at him with a judging gaze, he sighed and said, "What"s wrong? Why is everyone looking at me?"

"Discussing life matters with your wife." Jiang Ruolan smiled as she bent down to hand the children a piece of a jigsaw puzzle they had been looking for.

When Qin Gengxin turned to look at Xian Guiying, she only said, "My dad is coming back soon. Think about how to face him."

Zhan An could stop pursuing the matter, and the Old Man could also stop pursuing the matter of Qin Gengxin not coming home with Xian Guiying for the past few years because he knew who Qin Gengxin"s grandmother was.

But what about Xian Jian?

"We"ll deal with it when it"s time." Qin Gengxin smiled.

Xian Guiying reprimanded him with a smile. "You sound so relaxed."

As she was speaking, Nanny Cheng"s voice came from the door. "You"re back?"

"Yes." The door was opened. As soon as Xian Jian, who was covered in dust, entered the house, his eyes fell on the few people standing in the living room. His gaze instantly fell on Qin Gengxin.

Qin Gengxin looked at him. Xian Jian snorted coldly, handed the hat to Nanny Cheng behind him, and said coldly, "You guys still know to come back? Could it be that if the Old Man isn"t so sick, all of you only intend to return in a few years to bury his corpse?"

Qin Gengxin was about to say something, but Xian Guiying frowned and said, "Dad, how can you say that? Even if Qin Gengxin and I are at fault, there"s no need for you to curse grandpa. "

"When did I curse your grandfather? Everyone knows what"s going on. Even if you come back to accompany the Old Man, you would only come back for a while and then run around outside all day. I don"t want to be involved with the affairs of you young people either, but Guiying, you never once come back after the wedding." Xian Jian looked coldly at Qin Gengxin. "You must be thinking too lowly of us, the elders, right?"

"Dad, I"m sorry." Qin Gengxin sincerely apologized.

"You don"t need to apologize to me. I don"t care what the reason is. All I know is that after the wedding, you treated the Xian Family like nothing. Only a kid like you can do it. This is a great unfilial act!".

"Dad, don"t talk so much. We finally managed to return after so much difficulty. Can"t you just quietly let bygones be bygones? My mom is just a woman, but she understands it better than you do. She knows that some things that happened in the past are already in the past, and since everyone in the present is happy, then she won"t say anything to make things worse. It"s not easy for anyone to get happiness, so you don"t have to come and settle old scores when everyone is happy. In the years after Qin Gengxin and I got married, there was a misunderstanding between us. He didn"t return to the Xian Family, and I didn"t go visit the Qin Family! What would you think if I went to the Qin Family and my father-in-law and mother-in-law were to speak ill of me, just like you do?"

Xian Jian suddenly choked and glared at her. "Are you going to go head to head with me? As his father-in-law, can"t I teach him a lesson?"

"Now that everyone is happy, do you really have to make a ruckus again? If you"re angry, just say it. Qin Gengxin is also sincerely apologizing. What else do you want?"

Although Xian Jian had a bad temper, he indeed could be said to be very filial. He took these matters between young and old people very seriously.

He looked at Xian Guiying for a moment, then coldly at Qin Gengxin, who pulled Xian Guiying away. "It"s fine; I understand why dad is so angry. I married his daughter and never once brought her back to visit her family." Qin Gengxin held Xian Guiying down, knowing that she and her own father were always at loggerheads. He didn"t want to cause too much trouble and kept signaling her not to speak again.

"It"s good that you know this!" Xian Jian looked at them coldly. "I have been out all year, and no matter how far the journey is, I have to take the train and take the bus back to accompany my father. And you, young people, only know to enjoy your own little world!"

"Dad, there are some things that can"t be done perfectly. Do you think there are no other important things besides being filial? You"ve also done something wrong back then."

"You little girl!" Xian Jian frowned, "You"re forcing me to argue!"

Qin Gengxin continued to hold Xian Guiying"s hand. Only then did she bear with it and stop talking.

"Aiya, why are you still talking about this? You clearly missed your daughter, so why do you keep arguing with her?" Zhan An came back from outside and sighed, "Stop quarreling. It took so much effort for our family to reunite. Furthermore, Qin Gengxin is indeed good to our Guiying now. He also apologized. If you still have anything you"re not satisfied with, you two can talk about it privately."

"Besides, didn"t Guiying say that when they didn"t come back in the past few years, it was because of some misunderstanding between them? Since they are back now, as parents, we shouldn"t meddle in their affairs. Who hasn"t quarreled after marriage? It"s normal for the cold war to last two to three years." Zhan An glanced at Xian Jian as she spoke.

Indeed, Zhan An had ignored him for a few years. She was angry that he didn"t accompany her back to her parent"s home during the New Year. Everyone knew about this.

Xian Jian was suddenly at a loss for words. His face was livid with anger, but he merely snorted coldly.

Well, he seemed to feel that he had lost a lot of faces.

Seeing Xian Jian"s livid face, Xian Guiying couldn"t help but laugh. Jiang Ruolan, who was beside her, held it in for a while. She looked down and her lips curled as she said, "Dad, don"t be angry. Sit down and eat some fruits first. I remembered when Zihao went to the United States to recuperate, it took me a while to bring the children to come here. You told me the past is the past and that we shouldn"t talk about it anymore. Since we are family, then stop quarreling."

Xian Jian just sighed. "Indeed, this Xian Family is the home of all of you. Although I have a bad temper and did many wrong things when I was young, now I"m also old. I"m also looking forward to a family reunion like the Old Man."

Xian Guiying looked at him. "If you and grandpa didn"t throw a tantrum, I"ll definitely come back often. Even if I don"t want to come back, Qin Gengxin will drag me back. You should know his characters very well. Moreover, he has already apologized."

"Alright, let"s not talk about this anymore. Since you"re back, then we"ll have a good time. I"ll listen to your mother and not add to this mess." Xian Jian sighed as he said this. Then, he looked at Zhan An.

However, Zhan An just glanced at him indifferently before she turned around and walked away, not giving him any face at all.

Seeing that Zhan An did not give Xian Jian any face at all, Xian Guiying smiled and looked at Qin Gengxin. They both smiled.
