Chapter 724 - Visiting The Qin Family I (1/2)

”Are the two of you looking down on my cooking?” Xian Guiying suddenly walked towards them and glanced at Qin Gengxin. ”We have our own food. There's no need to go to sister-in-law's for food.”

She then glared at him. ”What kind of wild ambition are you harboring? Am I not good enough to cook?”

Qin Gengxin smiled apologetically. ”No, no, you cook the most delicious food. Who wants to go to their house to eat rice?”

Xian Guiying burst out laughing. Xian Zihao only raised his eyebrow, showing a helpless expression towards the two of them.

G City.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiaowen looked at his wife, who was sitting next to him.

Mrs. Qin also listened to what Qin Gengxin had said. During the conversation, she only had an indifferent attitude and just sat next to her husband in silence.

”Your family's matters should not affect the happiness of our son's marriage.” Qin Xiaowen said softly. ”Guiying is innocent after all. Besides, we have our granddaughter. Because of the unfamiliarity of our family, she isn't close to us at all.”

Mrs. Qin sighed. ”You think I want to do this? I haven't seen my father since I was born. My mother raised me on her own and she's always been unwilling to instigate the hatred in me. If I didn't keep pressuring her to tell me about my father, maybe I would never know about this. My mother had hated Xian Tingfeng all her life. Now that they're going to bring him here, I really don't know what kind of attitude she will have when she meets this bastard.”

Qin Xiaowen nodded. ”Then mom …”

”I don't know how to tell her.” Mrs. Qin sighed. ”Let me think again. Gengxin said that Xian Tingfeng wanted to come to see her. What's the point? After years of quarreling, whether he comes to apologize or not, my mother suffered for her whole life, so what's the point?”

Qin Xiaowen was familiar with his wife's and mother-in-law's temper.

No matter how eccentric his wife was, she wouldn't be too eccentric.

He understood the Old Woman quite well, just as he understood the suffering of Qin Gengxin and Xian Guiying.

”But the kids...I could tell that Guiying and Gengxin weren't on good terms after they were married, but Gengxin later told me that he really liked her. If it wasn't for the matter with mom, they wouldn't suffer so much. We're both old now; they're young, let these young people go. Don't implicate them.” Qin Xiaowen said.

”Yes, I used to think Gengxin didn't like Xian Guiying. When he rushed over and grabbed my wrist, his eyes reddened. I think our son must have felt bad in his heart and I actually regretted it a lot. While I don't know what happened between her and the guy surnamed Wei,  I actually shouldn't have attacked them.”

”You have been quiet all your life, but now that you are old and careless, what is the point of reciting Buddhist scriptures every day?”

Mrs. Qin smiled helplessly at his words. ”If she wasn't Xian Tingfeng's granddaughter, maybe I would ...”

”So what if she's Xian Tingfeng's granddaughter? Do you really think she wants to be born in that family? To be treated as an enemy by her husband? She wants her daughter not accepted by her-in-laws? Or do you really hope those husband and wife aren't close at all?” Qin Xiaowen snapped.

Mrs. Qin no longer spoke. Thinking of Qin Wenqian, thinking of her son, thinking of Xian Guiying, Mrs. Qin did not say much.

At some point, the Old Woman had come down the stairs, carrying shoes, which she had recently put away, and was looking for something.

”Mom, what are you looking for?” Mrs. Qin saw her and walked over.

”Find a plastic bag to put the shoes in. It looks like it's going to rain in these two days, I don't want the shoes to get wet. When the time comes, I won't be able to burn them for your father.” Old Woman turned to look at Mrs. Qin. ”Why are you two sitting there? Xiaowen, you're not going out today?”

”Mom, leave your shoes here and ask the servant to find a bag to pack later. Don't be busy.” Qin Xiaowen said.

”It's fine, I can't stay idle.” As the Old Woman spoke, she walked back and forth. Suddenly, she thought of something. ”Oh yes, will Gengxin return? I'm still waiting for him to come with me to pay respect to his grandfather.”
