Chapter 310 - Xian Guiying’s Secret Was Finally Revealed III (1/2)
Jiang Ruolan frowned as she glanced at the stubborn expression on Xian Guiying's face as she knelt there with her hands on her stomach. She was in a protective posture, but she refused to speak.
”Still not speaking? You're not willing to say, right?!” Old Man Xian gritted his teeth and swung his cane towards Xian Guiying.
”Grandfather!” Jiang Ruolan cried out in alarm.
Xian Zihao stepped forward to block the Old Man's hand, saying calmly, ”Grandpa, are you sure you want to deal with this matter like this?”
”If I can't beat her up, then do you want her to give birth to the child that she has brought from who knows where?! Do you want our Xian Family to lose face?!” The Old Man glared at him.
”Ruolan is also pregnant. Do you have the heart to let her see you beat up Guiying and her child like this?” Xian Zihao didn't plan on provoking the Old Man, so his tone was much softer.
”Dad, Guiying might have some difficulties.” Zhan An's voice became a lot softer, but she still walked over and pleaded for Xian Guiying. ”If you have anything to say, then say it. After all, she is your granddaughter. Please don't beat her.”
”My granddaughter? Is my granddaughter capable of doing such a thing? Even if the times are different now, this Old Man will not be able to keep up with your time! I can reluctantly accept your pregnancy, but whose child is it? Who is the child's father?! You actually refused to say it! Guiying! Are you trying to piss me off!”
”Grandfather! Calm down!” Jiang Ruolan hurried towards the Old Man and took hold of his arms. She then gently pulled the cane from the Old Man's hand and put it aside so that he wouldn't swing it at Xian Guiying.
She gently held onto the Old Man's hand and carefully said, ”Grandfather, since you know that the times are different now, Guiying's matters are actually very small. It is not worth it for you to be so angry! Guiying is also not a child. She had her own life, had what she wanted and insisted. I think that when she is ready to tell you, she will say it! Don't be angry.”
Old Man Xian took two deep breaths, hatred filling his eyes.
Xian Jian sat upright on the side with a cold expression and didn't say a word.
Xian Guiying knelt on the carpet and looked up at Jiang Ruolan. She smiled bitterly, ”Sister-in-law, if grandpa could understand, he wouldn't be like this. If it wasn't for you telling him to stop, he won't stop. Even my mom couldn't stop him. I shouldn't have come back today, but now that I'm back, I know what I'm facing.”
After she said that, she looked up at the Old Man, ”Grandfather, if you want to beat me, then go ahead. I've left the Xian Family for so many years and you've never cared about me before. If you can't afford to lose your face like that, alright, just hit me, at most I'll just die!”
”You!”
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from outside. The next moment, the door was kicked open by someone. Qin Gengxin appeared in front of the door.
Everyone looked at him in shock. Xian Guiying obviously didn't know what had happened and she slowly looked behind. When she saw Qin Gengxin, her face, which hadn't even changed even when the Old Man tried to hit her, instantly turned pale.
Qin Gengxin seemed to have rushed over in a hurry. When he stood in front of the door, he was actually a little out of breath. He looked at the scene before him expressionlessly, then looked at Xian Guiying, who was kneeling on the carpet.
”Qin Gengxin?” Old Man Xian's originally livid face became even more surprised when he saw him. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and looked at Xian Guiying again.
”The child is mine.”
Qin Gengxin's words stunned everyone in the room. Only Jiang Ruolan and Xian Zihao, who already knew about the inside story, remained calm. Jiang Ruolan was worried about what Qin Gengxin would do next.
Qin Gengxin walked through the doorstep by step. He glanced at Xian Zihao, then at Jiang Ruolan. His gaze lingered on her for three seconds before he abruptly looked away.
Qin Gengxin lowered his head to look at Xian Guiying, who was trying to stand up. He went towards her and yanked her up.
Xian Guiying was obviously shocked by the sudden turn of events. She tried to struggle free from his grasp, but Qin Gengxin firmly held her wrist and frowned at her. The seriousness in his eyes was something no one had ever seen before.
