Chapter 653 – Does That Woman Want Something From You
"But Guiying should have taught her. It looks like she didn't even show the photo of us to the child. Yes, in this generation, older people now don't live with their kids, but I think, as a parent, she should show our pictures to the child and tell her who we are. Xian Guiying must have done this on purpose!"
Mrs. Qin went on, "Also, Gengxin, if she wants a divorce, not only will we not let her take the child away from us, but we will not let her take our property. If she dares to take even the slightest bit, don't blame your mother for not telling you today, because you know my temperament."
"Mom knows that the granddaughter of the Xian Family is not interested in our Qin Family at all. After all, she is from the same family, so, of course, she did not marry you because of money, but, son, you should know, if women in this world lose their hearts, they will use money to make up for the emptiness in their hearts. Maybe Xian Guiying has been planning to empty our Qin Family now … "
"Mom, this is life, not a shopping mall or a battlefield. Where do all these accusations come from?"Qin Gengxin frowned. "She is not that kind of person."
Mrs. Qin retorted immediately, "She is not such a person? Then what is she like? She dared to engage openly with that Wei guy before the divorce. You didn't see her back then, but I saw it with my own eyes. She used a towel to clean that Wei guy's sweat. Her actions are so intimate!"
Qin Gengxin raised his hand and rubbed his glabella, thinking back to when he went to the hospital and saw the intimate actions of two people in the ward.
'Qin Gengxin, we have no future, so I will answer you with the sentence you gave last time. Let go.'
That day at the hotel, her last words echoed in his ears.
Qin Gengxin opened his eyes, but he did not look at Mrs. Qin. He lowered his gaze and spoke in a cold and malicious voice, "Mom, do you really not know the reason why I ignored Xian Guiying?"
Mrs. Qin's expression froze as she stared at him blankly.
Qin Gengxin looked up, his eyes were dull and cold. "You really don't know?"
Mrs. Qin frowned. "Son …"
"You've said it before, too. If it weren't for you seeing her belly grow so big and that she was carrying the Qin Family's heir, you and grandmother would never have let the Xian Family's granddaughter take a step into the Qin Family's door."
Qin Gengxin said calmly, "Mom, did you know that in the past few years, there has been an extraordinary woman by my side? She can only be admired but can't be loved. I can be with any woman, but only Xian Tingfeng's granddaughter can't. Do you know how much resilience your son has to restrain himself?"
Mrs. Qin's face tensed a little, "Didn't you always like the girl from the Jiang Family? You were sad when she disappeared and have been looking for her for years … "
"How can I not be sad?" Qin Gengxin laughed softly, as if he was telling a story from the past. His voice was also light. "From the moment Jiang Ruolan was accepted by the Jiang Family, when I stood on the wall between our house and the Jiang Family, I could always see Zhan Lian pushing the little girl to the ground and hitting her. That pretty little girl was always gritting her teeth, enduring the pain alone. I even felt pain for her. "
He said with a small laugh, "Mom, I feel sorry for Jiang Ruolan. I want to protect her, give her a safe life, give her a safe home, and that's what I've always wanted since childhood, and I don't know if what I feel for her is love or not, I just know that, for someone like Jiang Ruolan, if Xian Zihao no longer wants her, I will find a way to take care of her, even if she doesn't need my care. You know, the sense of justice in my bones comes from birth."
"When I was eight years old, I watched her being harassed and beaten, and that thought has lingered in my heart since I was eight years old. I want her to be happy."
"So? You still like that girl from the Jiang Family, don't you? That's why you –"
"Here, it hurts so much that your son is about to die." Qin Gengxin poked his chest with his finger, his voice was hoarse. "I knew from the beginning that I couldn't touch her. Maybe without the coincidental brotherhood between Xian Zihao and me, Guiying and I would never have known each other in this life. Would never have had any relationship. But then, she just appeared right in front of me, and it just so happened that the woman I couldn't touch lived by my side for twelve years."
"And what did I give her in return? A full indifference after marriage." Qin Gengxin mocked himself as he spoke, "Mom, tell me, is your son really a good person?"
Mrs. Qin didn't say anything. She just sat silently on the couch, looking at the normally unrestrained man who seemed to have no heart, sitting on the couch talking to his heart's content. One sentence at a time.
That was her son, but she never really understood him because he was always away from her.
"About the previous generation." Qin Gengxin said, "I don't want to care about it anymore. I really don't want to throw my own wife and children into a cold house because of all the love and hate disputes that have been going on for decades."
"Mom, Qianqian's health is not good. She has been going to the hospital and receiving injections since she was born. As a father, I never gave her comfort or courage. Last year, when she was seriously ill at City Center Hospital, I was not by her side. Maybe this is not the reason why Xian Guiying hates me the most, but this alone is enough to make our Qin Family ashamed!"
"Qianqian is seriously ill? Last year?" Mrs. Qin was stunned. "How can that be? That's impossible!"
When Qin Gengxin heard that her mother, as his daughter's grandmother, didn't know that the child was dying, he said nothing. He just smiled coldly. It was not clear whether he was laughing at his family or just laughing at himself.
"Impossible! Gengxin, don't be fooled by Xian Guiying! Look at our adorable and healthy little Qianqian; how could she have died almost a year ago? Does that woman want something from you? Or maybe she has another motive, which is to use the child to scheme against you. You idiot, you better not take it seriously! I–"
"Mom!" Qin Gengxin looked at her coldly.
Mrs. Qin was startled by his loud voice and immediately shut her mouth. She sighed and looked away. "I won't believe it."
Then she suddenly stood up and walked to the bedroom. She opened the door and looked inside and saw Qin Wenqian was sound asleep. She still didn't believe that this child was that sick.
Besides, what kind of illness will the child suffer from? Her family has no inherited diseases. The diseases that cause the deaths of young children were never discovered by their ancestors, and not even in the Xian Family. So, how could this child have health problems?
Qin Gengxin leaned his arm against the arm of the couch and leaned his head back. Suddenly, he heard the sound of an incoming message.
