Chapter 614 – Insisted On Relying On Herself
Qin Gengxin pursed his lip and smiled faintly. "Yes."
"Where do you want to go? I will arrange it soon."
"No need, don't let Wei Zhengsheng know my whereabouts." Qin Gengxin put the tab in his hand and glanced at Huang Jingguo. "Find something to keep him busy. Create trouble for him."
After saying that, Qin Gengxin glanced at the photo in the corner of the table and smiled.
Huang Jingguo had followed him for years and immediately understood that the reason why he suddenly turned down all the social events was not just because he wanted to take a break.
A few seconds ago, he thought that Qin Gengxin had something to do with Bai Nuying because she was smiling happily outside the door. But now, it seems that he's overthinking.
Qin Gengxin hadn't signed the divorce agreement. At that time, Huang Jingguo got a divorce agreement in advance, so he knew a few things. He also knew that Qin Gengxin put the agreement in the drawer at the bottom.

Wei Shanyuan stopped in a modern district located just outside Wuyuan Ancient Town. The district had international stores such as KFC, McDonald's, and Dexters. Although the city looks ancient, but that didn't mean shops like this did not exist, just not many.
He looked around and walked into the building that Xian Guiying had mentioned. He found that there was no light here, it was pitch black. He had to use the flashlight on his phone to get there.
Looking at Xian Guiying's poor living conditions for the past year, Wei Shanyuan frowned. He kicked a trash bag away from his feet that was placed on the stairs by an unknown family and continued to walk up.
Xian Guiying lived on the fourth floor, which was the highest floor in the building. As soon as he arrived in front of the door, he knocked on it a few times. The door in front of him was pushed open from the inside.
However, when the door was opened, Xian Guiying was nowhere to be seen. A surprised shout came from beneath his feet. "Wah!"
Wei Shanyuan was stunned. He looked down and saw Qin Wenqian, who he hadn't seen for a year, standing in front of the door with an oversized slipper on, wearing cute rabbit pajamas and staring at him curiously.
"Qianqian, bring a slipper for Uncle Shanyuan." Xian Guiying's voice came from the kitchen.
Qin Wenqian didn't answer. Instead, she took off the big slippers she was wearing, brought them to the door, and said with a smile, "Uncle, here, I'll let you wear my slipper."
Then, with a sweet smile on her face, she turned around and eagerly put on her cute little cartoon slippers.
As Wei Shanyuan walked in, he closed the door and put on the slipper. As soon as he entered, Qin Wenqian ran to the side of the tea table and arranged the two plates neatly. She turned around and said, "Uncle, mommy said you could eat fruit first while waiting for her to finish cooking. We have Lanmei¹, pomegranate, and this is —"
"Little thing, you're very obedient." Wei Shanyuan walked over and smiled. He was about to pick up the cute girl in front of him when Xian Guiying poked her head out of the kitchen. "It's been a year since the last time you two met, right? How is it? Our Qianqian has grown, right?"
Xian Guiying came out while wiping her hands with a clean towel. She then gestured for Wei Shanyuan to sit on the couch. Then she called her daughter. Qin Wenqian obediently ran to her feet.
"Qianqian, this is Uncle Shanyuan. A year ago, he was the one who saved you in the hospital. At that time, you called him Uncle Yuan. Do you still remember him?" Xian Guiying gently patted her daughter's head.
Qin Wenqian blinked. Although she treated the guests very kindly according to her mother's instructions a moment ago, it was clear that her memory of the time was not very clear. She hesitantly looked at this Uncle Yuan, who had a very beautiful smile on his face and shook her head.
This was within Wei Shanyuan's expectations. He hadn't had much contact with the child before, and when he found her at that time, she was in critical condition.
Wei Shanyuan smiled and squatted down, pulled out a small Barbie doll box behind him as if he was doing a magic trick. "Qianqian doesn't remember Uncle Yuan, it's okay. Here, this is a gift from uncle."
Qin Wenqian's eyes immediately brightened when she saw the doll. However, before reaching out to accept it, she glanced at her mother. When she saw Xian Guiying nodded, she grinned and accepted it.
She then ran to the couch to open the box.
"It's only been a year. This little baby is getting taller and fatter. It seems that her mental state is pretty good." Wei Shanyuan stood up.
"It must be said that heaven has taken care of me. In the end, they still haven't beaten me to the eighteenth level of hell, and they even left me with a glimmer of hope." Xian Guiying looked at her daughter with a smile. "Sit down first. The food will be ready in a moment."
"I remember that when you left that time, you transferred a certain amount of deposit in your name to another credit card. With this money, you don't have to live in this county. Why don't you move to another place?" Wei Shanyuan casually asked as he sat down.
"Most of the houses here are like this, and the better ones are too expensive. There are quite a few small villas, however, they are too far away from the city, so it's not convenient for me to stay there while doing business here." Xian Guiying answered while pouring some water.
"Qianqian's kindergarten is also closer here. This place is considered a more prosperous circle of life and everything is very convenient. In any case, it is just a place to live." Xian Guiying took the glass and placed it on the tea table before pushing it in front of him. She then turned to Qin Wenqian, "Qianqian, be good and stay here to accompany Uncle Yuan. Mommy needs to finish cooking dinner."
Qin Wenqian nodded obediently. She played with the cute doll in her hand for a moment, then obediently put it back in the box and placed it in the corner of the couch. Then she ran to Wei Shanyuan's side with her cute slippers, picked up the plate on the tea table, and dragged it in front of him while saying, "Uncle Yuan, eat the fruit!"
Wei Shanyuan took the cute girl in front of him and hugged her to his chest. He found out that her body temperature was moderate, unlike her previous condition.
"Uncle came in a hurry today and didn't bring a stethoscope. I'll check your body properly when uncle comes tomorrow." Wei Shanyuan touched her small head and said lovingly.
"Stethoscope?" Qin Wenqian immediately pushed him away. Wei Shanyuan put her down gently and watched her run to the bedroom, and after about two or three minutes, she came towards him with a small box.
Qin Wenqian put down the box on the couch and said with a smile, "Uncle Yuan, I have a stethoscope here."
Wei Shanyuan opened the box and saw some simple household medical equipment. He looked at the stethoscope and the blood pressure meter in it. He paused, then looked at the figure who was busy in the kitchen.
It seemed that during the year, while living alone with her daughter, Xian Guiying also learned to examine her daughter's body regularly at home.
Even after experiencing so many storms, she always insisted on relying on herself. She never thought of relying on the help of others or asking them to do something.
Wei Shanyuan looked at Xian Guiying, who was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, then to Qin Wenqian, who was curiously holding a box of medicine on the couch. He then looked at the stethoscope in his hand.
"Xian Guiying, can you at least give me a chance to take advantage of your weakness?" When he put on the stethoscope, he said this in an indifferent tone. He brought Qin Wenqian closer to him to examine her body. He didn't care whether Xian Guiying, who was in the kitchen, heard him or not.
