Chapter 658 – Divorcing Her Is The Best Option
"I haven't kissed my granddaughter in three years. Three years ago, you were the one who told me that Guiying was too busy and didn't have time to bring her daughter back to see us. It was all just an excuse for her. If she had a filial piety, no matter how busy she was, she would bring her daughter back to see us!"
"Your son will figure out a way, so you don't have to worry. Your granddaughter is your granddaughter. She's not someone else's flesh and blood. Don't cry, hmm?"
Mrs. Qin pushed him away and turned to wipe her tears with a tissue. "Don't use that deception to persuade your mother. Don't think that I don't know what you're doing. When you married Xian Guiying, we asked you how you made her pregnant, but you never told us the truth. You only came to tell us when her stomach was already big until we didn't even have the chance to refuse it. Until the end, you didn't say a single truthful word, instead claiming that you took a fancy to that girl and forced her to do so."
"Now that I think about it, I feel that something is wrong. If you really wanted to marry her, you should have told us when she was just pregnant, and it's also impossible for you not to go back and live a good life with her even after getting married for so long." As she spoke, Mrs. Qin immediately turned to look at her son. "Gengxin, is Guiying–."
"Alright, stop guessing, I'll tell you the truth." Qin Gengxin felt a headache coming. There were so many things that had happened. The matter with his grandmother and his mother also came to join in the fun. All of these were happening at such a crucial time.
"I was the one who liked her back then, and she didn't agree. I just drank some wine and took her down. Then, a while before we were married, she and I had some kind of misunderstanding. Don't you know your son's temper? Actually, it's not as you think. Even if I don't go back, Guiying will come to Qin's to look for me and even send me a lunch."
"I don't believe you." Mrs. Qin narrowed her eyes at him.
The corner of Qin Gengxin's mouth twitched. "Whether you believe it or not has nothing to do with this."
"Son, you only know how to walk in circles with me. The reason for going around in circles is because you don't want me to find her, right? I just want to ask her, how did my son disappoint her? How can she not give the Qin Family a face and even go to court to file for a divorce! Do you think she sees your parents as elderly in her eyes?"
"Alright, that's enough. Calm down. We'll talk about it later." Qin Gengxin smiled as he hugged Mrs. Qin's shoulder.
Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the situation between Xian Guiying and her son was not that easy, so she stood up.
Just when Qin Gengxin was about to persuade her, his phone rang again. Seeing that it was Huang Jingguo calling again, he didn't want to answer it because he was afraid his mother would find out about the situation at the company.
"Is it Guiying? "
"No."
"Let me see." Mrs. Qin reached for his phone. Qin Gengxin showed it to her and said, "It's from Huang Jingguo."
"Why are you not answering? Did something happen at the company?"
"No." Qin Gengxin's head hurt so much that he felt like it was going to explode. He got up and went to his bedroom to answer the phone.
"Boss, Bai Group canceled the project contract we signed last year. Mrs. Bai said -."
"I understand. From now on, don't call me about company problems. Send them to my mailbox. I'll figure out a way to deal with them!"
With that, he hung up the phone and hurriedly left the bedroom, only to see that Mrs. Qin had disappeared.
Qin Gengxin looked at the empty living room and closed his eyes helplessly.
At this moment, he truly felt the way Jiang Ruolan had felt when she chose to divorce her husband and leave the Xian Family.
He really did know how painful her divorce had been and how tenacious she had to be to make such a decision. It must be a life worse than death.

Xian Guiying had just finished undergoing X-ray scanning and she was helped by Wei Zhengsheng out of the clinic. The doctor at the clinic said that she would be fine. After a few days of rest, she would be fine, but she had to stay in the hospital for the observation process.
As soon as they returned to the ward, they saw a figure standing in the doorway.
Xian Guiying was not surprised to see Mrs. Qin. She had long guessed that Mrs. Qin would come looking for her, and she also knew that Qin Wenqian would certainly not recognize her.
Xian Guiying walked back to the room. Her hair was tied in a high ponytail, showing the swollen spots on her forehead. The spot was no longer swollen, but was black and blue.
Seeing Mrs. Qin, Wei Zhengsheng said, "Mrs. Qin, this is a hospital."
He clearly reminded her not to cause trouble here.
Mrs. Qin looked at him indifferently, "I'm old, so I know my limits. Yesterday, I was too angry, and seeing the wound on her head, I really didn't think she would be admitted to the hospital."
Wei Zhengsheng frowned and wanted to say something, but Xian Guiying grabbed his hand to stop him. "I'm fine, but you really misunderstood Wei Zhengsheng and me. No matter what happened between us at the time, before a formal divorce, our relationship is pure."
"Pure?" Mrs. Qin walked step by step and looked at Xian Guiying. "Whether it is pure or not, I don't want to know. Guiying, I didn't come here today to discuss this with you. Since you want a divorce, well, our Qin Family won't stop you but, Qianqian's custody –"
"Qianqian is my daughter!" Xian Guiying interrupted Mrs. Qin with a firm look on her face. "Don't get any ideas in your head."
Mrs. Qin immediately looked at her. "Xian Guiying, even though Qianqian was born from you, I am still the child's biological grandmother. You haven't allowed the child to see us for the past three years, so the child doesn't know anyone from our Qin Family at all!"
"Whatever you do, know this one thing. You can't take MY daughter away from me." Xian Guiying no longer looked at Mrs. Qin. She walked past her and went inside the ward.
Mrs. Qin stood in place with anger in her eyes. Wei Zhengsheng also walked past her, giving her a brief glance before pushing open the door and entering the ward.
Mrs. Qin took a deep breath and turned to follow him. Suddenly, Qin Gengxin appeared in front of her, blocking her path. He then closed the ward's door, which was slightly open.
"What are you doing?" Mrs. Qin looked at him with dissatisfaction.
"I'm the one who should ask. What are you trying to do?" Qin Gengixin looked at Mrs. Qin indifferently.
Xian Guiying, who was in the ward, heard someone closing the door outside. She turned and looked toward the door. Wei Zhengsheng also turned and looked towards the door. They then looked at each other.
She didn't say anything. Although her head was not severely injured, a slight concussion would cause her head to ache for several days. She was a little tired, so she decided to sit on the bed.
Mrs. Qin looked at her son and hesitated for a moment. She didn't go into the ward anymore. She just walked to the end of the corridor, stood by the window, and looked at the view outside.
Qin Gengxin looked at the situation in the ward through the window. He saw Xian Guying leaning on the bed with her eyes closed. He stared at her for a while before approaching Mrs. Qin.
"Son, in fact, divorcing her is the best option. Other people may not know the relationship between our Qin Family and the Xian Family, but you must have heard those stories from your grandmother since you were young. Your grandmother was hospitalized on the day of your wedding. She hasn't been really happy for a day in years and if you divorce Xian Guiying, your mother will be able to rest."
Mrs. Qin sighed and said softly, "Don't blame your mother for being cruel, but can you really ignore your grandfather's death and your grandmother's broken heart for the rest of your life?"
Qin Gengxin was silent for a moment. Then, when Mrs. Qin turned to look at him, he said, "Guiying is innocent."
