Chapter 726 - Visiting The Qin Family III

"Grandfather!" Xian Guiying walked quickly, but the Old Man still gently brushed her hand away.

Seeing that Old Man Xian"s steps were slow and heavy, and every step he took, he seemed about to fall, Qin Gengxin held out his hand to help him, but the Old Man said, "No need."

Mrs. Qin glanced at the Old Man. In the end, it was still because she hadn"t seen her father since the day she was born, and also because her father was forced to die by Old Man Xian in prison, so she only glanced at him once. There"s no expression on her face. Looking back at Qin Gengxin, she said, "Gengxin, when you called to tell us yesterday, it wasn"t enough time for mom and dad to talk about it with your grandmother."

Qin Gengxin did not retort, "I know."

"Then why did you …"

"However, I cannot turn a blind eye to the Old Man"s pleading. Or maybe, mom, you want grandmother to put this hatred until the Old Man is buried into the ground?"

Mrs. Qin opened her mouth but could not say anything. She only frowned as she saw Old Man Xian slowly prop himself up with his cane and miraculously walked towards the Qin Family yard little by little.

Then, she said with a frown, "How do you want your grandmother to act? It"s been so hard for her."

"Mrs. Qin." Xian Guiying held Qin Wenqian"s hand as they walked forward. She and Qin Gengxin were divorced, and Mrs. Qin had beaten her before, so Xian Guiying could only call her that. Still, her expression was polite as she understood Mrs. Qin"s hatred of her family. "Please give my grandfather a chance."

Mrs. Qin glanced at her but said nothing. When she saw Qin Wenqian, her expression was finally relaxed. She slowly bent down and said, "Qianqian, come. grandmother will take you inside."

On the way back, Qin Gengxin had taught his daughter to call Mrs. Qin, grandmother, pa.s.sionately after arriving at Qin Family and to be more intimate with her grandparents.

Since her father told her that, Qin Wenqian had agreed, and when Mrs. Qin bent down to hug her, she didn"t reject it anymore. However, she still hesitated and shrank back a little. When she saw Qin Gengxin"s encouraging smile, she cautiously took a step forward and said in a small voice, "Grandmother …"

"Sigh." Mrs. Qin beamed as she hugged her and kissed her cheek. "Come on, let grandmother take you inside. This is grandmother"s house. Honey, tell grandmother what you want to eat."

Seeing Mrs. Qin happily carrying the child, Xian Guiying"s heart finally calmed a little. The Old Man was walking slowly and when Mrs. Qin brought the child into the house, the Old Man walked to the front of Qin Family"s courtyard, and then, using his cane, he stood there silently. It had been a long time since he had walked this far, even though the distance was only twenty meters, for him, the distance was already very far.

Qin Gengxin and Xian Guiying walked towards him, but they heard the Old Man said, "Twenty-four years ago, I came to G City because of Zhou Qingling and Jia Zhenzhen. I also went to the Jiang Family, which is right next door. I pa.s.sed by this place before, but I never knew that she was originally here."

Xian Guiying walked over and gently held his arm. "Grandpa, since we"re already here, let"s go inside."

The Old Man nodded. He had just taken a step when he turned around to look at Qin Gengxin hesitantly. Qin Gengxin pursed his lips. "Come inside."

Only then did the Old Man smile and nodded his head, allowing Xian Guiying to support him as he walked inside.

When they entered the house, Mrs. Qin was putting Qin Wenqian on the couch, happily asking the servant to prepare the room. When she said this, she smiled at Qin Gengxin. "You have finally managed to bring the child back to the Qin Family. The children"s room we prepared for Qianqian is always cleaned every day."

As soon as she finished, Old Man Xian walked over with his cane.

"Old Man Xian, I don"t care what your motive is for coming to our Qin Family today, but I hope you won"t anger my mother too much. Her body is currently in bad condition, and after suffering for a lifetime, she was finally able to live in peace." Mrs. Qin looked at Old Man Xian with a cold expression.

Old Man Xian looked at her for a long time. "You are... that child Xing Jia -"

Mrs. Qin looked at him for a moment before chuckling, "Old Man, what are you trying to say? Should I be thanking you for not being so heartless as to have my mother give birth? Otherwise, how could I exist in this world?"

Old Man Xian"s face was suddenly full of guilt. "Child, I"m sorry."

Mrs. Qin was unmoved by his apology. "You don"t have to apologize to me. I"ve never seen you before, just like I"ve never seen my father. One of them is someone who enjoys great honor and power in the country, while the other is someone who is famous outside the country but is hated by my mother and me. I have never seen both of them, but this hatred never ends. The apology you said in front of me, I really don"t feel anything at all."

Old Man Xian nodded in understanding. "I understand."

"Since you understand, it"s good. No matter what, Qianqian is the granddaughter of Xiaowen and me. Guiying is indeed innocent. I can apologize for my indifference to her in the past and for everything I"ve done. As an elder, there are some things I"ve done wrong, but Old Man, you don"t have the qualifications to stand in the Qin Family."

Hearing Mrs. Qin directly apologizing to her without the slightest reluctance, Xian Guiying"s heart finally softened. Back then, in Wuyuan, she understood Mrs. Qin"s behavior towards her.

After all, she and Wei Zhengsheng were indeed trying to get along. No matter what happened between her and Qin Gengxin, it was a huge sin in Mrs. Qin"s eyes.

Xian Guiying lowered her eyes and whispered, "Mrs. Qin …"

Hearing that Xian Guiying still called her Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Qin looked at her and asked directly, "You and Gengxin are divorced, right?"

Xian Guiying was stunned. Just as she was about to speak, Qin Gengxin held her hand and held it lightly. "Mom, we"re always together. You don"t have to make a wild guess."

"That Wei fellow …" Mrs. Qin still couldn"t bear to hold it any longer. She often dreamed about the scene of Xian Guiying wiping Wei Zhengsheng"s sweat after she came back.

"Wei Zhengsheng treats Guiying like his own sister. After all, he is good friends with Xian Zihao. I don"t even feel like there"s anything intimate between the two of them, so why are you thinking too much?" Qin Gengxin smiled and said, "I"m not jealous at all."

Mrs. Qin paused and sighed. "Forget it, I don"t want to care about the matters of you youngsters. As long as my granddaughter is happy and safe, I don"t care about anything else."

She sat on the couch again and held Qin Wenqian in her arms. She caressed the child"s head lovingly but didn"t look at the Old Man again.
