Chapter 722 - You Women Think Too Much Of Things

After lunch, the Old Man was still sitting on the wheelchair by the window in a daze. Previously, he had always liked to sit here in the rocking chair and listen to his tape while sleeping, but now he was clearly in low spirits and rarely slept during the day.

Qin Gengxin sat on the couch and pointed out something on the globe to Xian Jian.

Old Man Xian didn"t know what they were talking about, but he watched how Xian Jian listened to Qin Gengxin seriously.

"Gengxin." Suddenly, the Old Man, who had been hanging his head so low that people thought he was asleep, raised it and turned to look at Qin Gengxin.

Qin Gengxin stopped spinning the globe and turned around.

"Come here." The Old Man said.

Qin Gengxin took a glance at Xian Jian. Xian Jian waved his hand, indicating that he can study the matter on his own. Qin Gengxin then got up and walked towards the Old Man.

The Old Man said in a voice that only he could hear. "Is it almost time for your grandfather"s death anniversary?"

Qin Gengxin pursed his lips and said, "Yes, I received a call from my mother last night. She said it is this Sunday."

"Sunday... Three more days … "The Old Man closed his eyes and stayed silent for a while. Then he frowned and said, "Think of a way for me. I want to go to G City."

The calm smile in Qin Gengxin"s eyes gradually faded as he looked at him with a heavy gaze. "You …"

"I am already nearly dying man." Old Man Xian sighed and said, "I can"t just bury my regrets in the ground. That way, I won"t be able to rest in peace for the rest of my life."

Old Man Xian looked at him. "Little Qin, grandfather knows that you accepted this family because of Guiying. Because of her, you hold back your resentment towards me. As Xing Jia"s grandson, whether it is your grandmother or your mother, they must have warned you."

"You don"t have to say it like that. I do have a grudge, but right now, I know what"s the most important thing. I don"t want to bring any more regrets to everyone, including to the child." Qin Gengxin said softly. "You are currently not allowed to fly. The high pressure will affect your body greatly. You need to recuperate."

"If I can"t go there by airplane, then I can go by car or by boat. Child, dozens of years have pa.s.sed. My heart has always felt uncomfortable. She has always been hiding from me, so I …" The Old Man"s aged face carried an awkward expression. "I want to meet her …"

Qin Gengxin frowned slightly. When Xian Guiying walked over, she vaguely heard the Old Man"s words and looked hesitantly at Qin Gengxin.

Qin Gengxin didn"t say anything. Xian Guiying walked towards them. "Grandfather."

She leaned against the chair next to the Old Man"s wheelchair and caressed the back of his wrinkled hand. Then, she held it in her hand. "If you really plan to go, we"ll help you."

Qin Gengxin immediately glanced at her, but Xian Guiying didn"t look at him. Instead, she gently held the Old Man"s hand and patiently said, "The traffic is so developed these days. Indeed, we can take the car. As long as you take good care of yourself, we can go."

"Little girl, you"re just coaxing me." The Old Man was so angry that he immediately pulled his hand away from her.

Xian Guiying"s gaze darkened. She shifted her gaze to Qin Gengxin, who was also looking at her.

She knew he didn"t want the Old Man to see his grandmother. Some things, even a word of apology, were useless or perhaps, he didn"t want the Old Man to cause unnecessary conflict.

She looked at him again for a moment, then hesitated. "Well, grandpa, let"s talk it over and see what"s the best thing to do, shall we?"

"You just need to discuss how to send me there. Even if I am old, I can still see through some things. I know what the two of you are afraid of. I don"t want to affect you, youngsters. It"s precisely because I don"t want to affect you that I have to go see her. After all, I was the one who let her down and hurt her."

Old Man Xian looked at Qin Gengxin. "Gengxin, grandfather knows I can"t ask you to do anything, but Xing Jia has hated me for her entire life. I don"t want to be buried with her hatred against me."

"You want to see her, but what if she refuses to see you?" Qin Gengxin asked seriously.

Old Man Xian had obviously thought of this before. He chuckled, "Then I"ll wait outside the door."

"How long? One day? Two days?"

The Old Man didn"t answer directly, but it was obvious that he was serious. When he looked at Qin Gengxin, it was obvious that one or two days wasn"t a problem, even if it meant waiting until he died.

Qin Gengxin sighed faintly. Xian Guiying held the Old Man"s hand and said, "Grandfather, I"ll help you."

The Old Man nodded, but he still had to see if Qin Gengxin agreed. Thus, the Old Man looked towards him.

Qin Gengxin was silent for a moment before he said lightly, "I"ll arrange it."

The Old Man"s face finally revealed the slightest hint of relief, as if he could step onto the road to meet her right away. This made him feel much more at ease.

After that, Qin Gengxin and Xian Guiying went to the courtyard to help Nanny Cheng. Watching Qin Gengxin walking in front, Xian Guiying looked at him for a while. Then she saw him standing in front of the flower garden, looking in an unknown direction. She didn"t know what he was thinking, so she walked over and whispered, "You don"t want grandfather to see her."

Qin Gengxin casually placed his hand on the fence in front of the flower bed and said, "To be honest, I don"t wish for him to meet her."

"You"re afraid that grandmother will be provoked when she sees him and that things won"t go as smoothly as we thought, that they won"t be able to forgive and accept each other."

"Guiying, you women think too much of things and even after hearing a story, you think too much into it. You think that everything can become logical because of relationships." Qin Gengxin calmly said. "I can"t say that she hated him all her life, she just regretted it. She regrets saving him. Otherwise, she wouldn"t have been so sad in her life."

"I think she probably doesn"t hate him at all. She just didn"t understand why she saved such a person back then. Xian Tingfeng"s personality is too unyielding, and he also cares too much about his face. My grandmother should be feeling more regret than hatred." Qin Gengxin sighed and said, "Even if he goes to G City, my grandmother wouldn"t necessarily meet him. Why bother letting him go through such a long journey?"

"After all, there are some things that the two of us can"t calculate. After all, we are spectators. If we don"t try, who would know the result?" Xian Guiying chuckled. "Your grandmother is a woman after all, and I am a woman as well. I should have a deeper understanding than you."

Qin Gengxin turned around, put his arm around her shoulders, and pulled her into his embrace. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Then, when we return to the United States, are we going to remarry?"
