Chapter 514 - If I Can"t Discipline Her, Then, Who Can

Although Xian Guiying didn"t know much about the characters of Qin Xiaowen and Mrs. Qin, she could still feel that Qin Xiaowen was a more traditional male chauvinist.

Because of Qin Gengxin"s att.i.tude of neither cold nor warm towards her on the wedding day, Qin Xiaowen was suspicious of her. If they knew that Qin Gengxin didn"t return in two years, that Qin Wenqian never knows about her father, it would be a big uproar.

One hour later.

"Madam, Mr. Qin and his a.s.sistant could not be reached by the phone." Darna, another servant from the family, came with a phone and said with a troubled expression.

Xian Guiying nodded. "All right, I understand."

After that, she stood alone in the bedroom. When she saw the photo of Qin Wenqian and her on the table next to the bed, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

At this time, it would be extremely difficult to find Qin Gengxin and bring him home. It seemed like the storm that was waiting to hit all these years would hit.

When she walked out of the bedroom and went downstairs, Xian Guiying saw Mrs. Qin, who had woken up at some point, sitting on the couch with Qin Gengxin"s grandmother and watching TV. At her feet was a white Labrador Retriever.

"Guiying, you"re awake?" When Mrs. Qin saw Xian Guiying, a dissatisfied expression appeared on her face. She exclaimed, "How did you educate my granddaughter? So scared of strangers? Which child from our Qin Family would be so shy? Also, why is she so skinny? How do you take care of your child!"

A look of disgust appeared in Mrs. Qin"s eyes when she looked at how well-maintained Xian Guiying was. "You"re no longer young, you"re already twenty-eight, right? Why are you still only concerned with yourself and not your children?"

Xian Guiying walked over and didn"t have time to reply to Mrs. Qin. She glanced hesitantly at the dog at her feet and said, "Mom, Qianqian is indeed a little afraid of strangers. She will be fine when she is older. After all, she is only three years old. But ..."

She tried to keep her voice even as she said, "Where did this dog come from?"

"Gengxin"s grandma loves to keep pets. Yesterday, after getting off the plane, she pa.s.sed a pet store and loved this dog, so we bought it. Coincidentally, I saw your house doesn"t have pets, so once we leave, this dog will leave here for you to take care of. I heard that Americans love to let dogs and kids grow up together, so Qianqian will definitely love this little thing."

Xian Guiying was about to open her mouth and said something, but she stopped herself.

Although Mrs. Qin had a temper and her words were not gentle enough, but she didn"t have hidden motives. It"s understandable that she wanted to give Qin Wenqian a cute little gift, but ...

Qin Wenqian"s health was not good. She was allergic to pet hair. It wouldn"t be good to Qin Wenqian if Xian Guiying didn"t say anything, but if she did, Mrs. Qin might not be happy.

The servant didn"t dare to speak carelessly either.

Xian Guiying looked at the Labrador Retriever with a faint headache.

"Qianqian, come here and let grandma hug you. Be good. Grandma has a little dog here, a very cute little dog ~~" Mrs. Qin glanced at Xian Guiying again before turning her gaze to Qin Wenqian.

She held out her hand with a wide smile, "Come here, give grandma a big kiss, ok?"

Qin Wenqian ran to Xian Guiying. She grabbed the leg of her (Xian Guiying) pants with her small hand and said, "Mommy…"

"Qianqian, come here." Mrs. Qin stood up and walked over to them. She smiled and bent down to hug Qin Wenqian.

Qin Wenqian stood in place and stared at Mrs. Qin, at loss of what to do. Then she raised her head to look at her mother again, clinging to her (Xian Guiying) feet, not wanting to let Mrs. Qin carried her.

Mrs. Qin simply reached out and hugged her. When she"s about to kiss her, Qin Wenqian immediately cried and fought with all her might. Normally, she wouldn"t make a sound even if a stranger hugged her, but now, she suddenly started punching and kicking Mrs. Qin while crying.

Mrs. Qin"s earrings were almost torn off by her. It was so painful that she immediately put the child in Xian Guiying"s arms. "This child! How do you educate her!"

Xian Guiying immediately hugged her daughter, who was crying so hard that she couldn"t almost catch her breath.

Xian Guiying was shocked. No matter how scared Qin Wenqian was, she would never do something like this. Seeing her daughter curled up in her arms, hugging her own neck, not letting go, Xian Guiying finally remembered Mrs. Qin"s stiff att.i.tude when she spoke to her a moment ago.

It was probably because Qin Wenqian was too sensitive and she felt her mother was being bullied, which was why she rejected Mrs. Qin.

Mrs. Qin was so angry that she immediately turned around and caressed the lower part of her aching ear. She walked back to the couch and sat down angrily. "Your dad said that Gengxin rarely comes back. It looks like Qianqian was taught by you alone. Is that how you taught my granddaughter? Taught her to be so rude towards her grandmother!"

"Meili, that"s enough. The child is still young and has her own opinion. Don"t blame your daughter-in-law for this. Just wait until she"s a little older." Qin Xiaowen interrupted. "No one is born to be a mother. For the past two years, we have not been by the child"s side, so it is natural if the child doesn"t know us."

Mrs. Qin controlled her temper and turned to the old woman sitting next to her. "Mom, were you bothered by the mess just now?"

"No, this is a two-generation family thing. I"m too lazy to stick my nose in it. I"m already old and this is not my cup of tea." Qin Gengxin"s grandmother leaned back against the couch and turned to look at Xian Guiying, who was busy comforting her daughter.

Qin Gengxin"s grandmother looked her up and down, "But Meili, your daughter-in-law, seems to have a stubborn nature and she doesn"t care about us, the elders. She hates me for bringing the dog. When her daughter cried and attacked you, she just stood there, doing nothing."

"Oh yes, at the time, because I was hospitalized, I didn"t attend their wedding. I heard that your daughter-in-law came with a big belly, right? Tsk, tsk, she is completely different from a woman back then. She dared to get pregnant before getting married."

The Old Woman"s eyes were filled with different emotions and full of contempt. She looked at Xian Guiying as if the person standing there was not her grandson"s wife but a shameless and impolite prost.i.tute.

Qin Wenqian still hugged Xian Guiying"s neck tightly as if she was protecting her mother. Xian Guiying patted her daughter"s back lightly and heard the Old Woman"s words.

A polite smile appeared on her face. "Grandmother, mom, even though the times are different, I know that all of you are doing this for my own good. If there"s something you don"t like and if you think I"m bad at anything, just say it out loud. I"ll definitely change it. If it can"t be changed, then please take care of me."

Qin Gengxin"s grandmother smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. Her face still had an unsightly expression, "This Old Xian"s granddaughter has the same att.i.tude as he did back then. She"s not weak. I"m afraid if we let this continue, she will step on our head."

"Mom, what kind of era is this? We live our own lives, what is the need for discipline?" Qin Xiaowen said with a smile.

"I can"t discipline her? Then, who can? What"s the point of living in such a big house? The child doesn"t do the household works at all. She didn"t wash the clothes, didn"t clean the room, she even invited a group of outsiders to serve her. When you all become old and can"t get out of bed, I"m afraid this daughter-in-law won"t visit you at all. You"re just going to let her do as she pleases?"

Mrs. Qin was stunned for a moment. Originally, she only said a few words because she didn"t see her son and because her granddaughter wasn"t close to her, so she was a little uncomfortable. However, she never thought the Old Woman didn"t like Xian Guiying at all.
