Chapter 736 - I Have Never Been Able To Figure Out Why He Did What He Did Back Then (1/2)
”Grandfather!” Xian Guiying rushed to the side of the bed and grabbed his hand. He's obviously still warm, but why wasn't he moving? In the blink of an eye, she looked at the Heart Surveillance Monitor and felt her body grow cold.
Several doctors heard the scream and entered. They looked at the device, then walked over to the bed and inspected the Old Man's body. The doctors exchanged glances at each other and quietly shook their heads.
Xian Guiying laid on the bed and cried out. Qin Gengxin hurried in to help her. ”Guiying, don't be like this. The Old Man is leaving peacefully. He will feel sad if he sees you like this.”
Xian Guiying suddenly looked at the chair by the bed and looked at the silent Old Woman. Qin Gengxin was afraid Xian Guiying would be upset with the Old Man's death and cause more trouble to his grandmother, so he helped her up. ”We are here for you, you're not alone now. Are you listening to me?”
Xian Guiying just cried and did not say anything. Qin Gengxin forcefully pulled her out of the ward.

Old Man Xian's funeral was not something that can be done in G City. Instead, they specifically send the Old Man's body back to H City, burying him at the green mountain of H City, the place where he loved.
Qin Gengxin was always on Xian Guiying's side, and at the same time, he also received many calls from the United States but right now, he could not be distracted. He only focused on accompanying Xian Guiying. She was very calm, but Qin Gengxin knew that her heart was in pain. He was afraid that something would happen to her, so he could not be separated from her for the last few days.
On the day of Old Man Xian's funeral, Xian Guiying wore a black dress with small white flowers on her chest, stood outside the auditorium, looking quietly into the distance.
The Xian Family was prestigious in the country. Their relationship with other people was good, and therefore, the funeral lasted from morning until night.
In the meantime, Qin Gengxin let Xian Guiying go to rest first.
When Xian Guiying went to take a seat next door, he stood outside the funeral hall and politely nodded his head and thanked the guests who had come to send Old Man Xian off.
Jiang Ruolan, who was standing nearby, saw that Xian Zihao was busy handling the funeral and Xian Guiying had gone in to rest, so she asked Qin Gengxin, ”We've been busy with the Old Man's funeral these past few days, so we haven't paid much attention to it. Guiying has always been in good health and condition, moreover with her character, even if she was sad, she should have calmed down by now. No matter how I look at her recently, she has been very tired. Is she sick?”
Qin Gengxin raised his eyebrow at her and whispered, ”She's pregnant.”
Jiang Ruolan glared at him, looking if he was joking or not, before smiling. ”Really?”
”Why would I lie to you? But right now, sending the Old Man peacefully is more important, we can talk about it after the funeral. Everyone's not in a good mood right now, so we didn't say anything about it.” Qin Gengxin nodded as he spoke.
Jiang Ruolan didn't expect herself to be accurate. It seemed that Guiying intended to keep this child, otherwise she wouldn't be so careful and obedient.
She smiled lightly and said, ”Yesterday, Nanny Cheng took out some things from grandfather's study room. There was a small box in it. I thought it was a cigarette holder; however, when I opened it, I found that there wasn't any cigarette holder, but rather very old letters.”
Qin Gengxin looked in another direction with an indifferent expression as he replied in a low voice, ”I've heard so too.”
”I didn't see clearly what was written on the letters, but I heard from Zihao that it was two suicide letters that your grandfather had left behind. Inside the box, there is grandfather's military emblem when he was a general in the north and a wedding ring with emeralds on it.”
”Where is the box now?” Qin Gengxin sighed softly.
”After Zihao and his parents read the letter, they handed the box and everything to your grandmother.” Jiang Ruolan looked at him and said, ”Qin Gengxin, Guiying is very rational. She knows that it was her grandfather who owed your grandmother, so she doesn't blame you for her grandfather's death. You must treat her well, and don't disappoint us again.”
