Huang Jingguo's mouth twitched. "You scared me. I thought you're dazzled by her beauty, so you let the tiger into your own den to fight for the chassis. You just put a long line to fish …"
Receiving Qin Gengxin's gaze, Huang Jingguo immediately shut his mouth. However, after hesitating for a moment, he frowned. "Then, Bai Nuying …"
"Mrs. Bai is actually betting a lot this time as well. After all, Bai Nuying's heart is indeed with me. It's not hard to get her to turn sides and suck out the blood from the Bai as well."
"It can't be a beauty trick, right?" Huang Jingguo asked with a straight face.
Qin Gengxin frowned and looked at him with disdain. "Is your boss that despicable?"
Huang Jingguo immediately shrugged his shoulders. 'f you're not despicable, who else would be more despicable and understand your expression better than me?'
But Huang Jingguo didn't say anything and remained silent.
***
Two days later, the black Bentley drove into the villa. When Dalisay and Darna heard the sound of a car, they hurriedly opened the door and went out to greet the Qin couple and the elderly grandmother.
The Old Woman vomited twice before getting off the plane due to the turbulence. After getting off the plane and finally boarding the car, she immediately rested with her eyes half-closed.
Dalisay and Darna went to help the Old Woman. Qin Gengxin winked and told them to unload the luggage inside the car. He then walked to the back seat and patiently coaxed the Old Woman, who could barely open her eyes.
"Mom, how is it? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Mrs. Qin also wanted to go over and help her up.
The Old Woman waved her hand. "I'm fine. It's much better now. Now that I'm this old, I won't be able to play around with you, youngsters anymore."
"Help her get inside to lie down." As Qin Xiaowen said this, he also took some luggage from the car bonnet.
"Where's Guiying? Didn't you say that she had sprained her ankle and was resting at home? Why didn't I see her?" Mrs. Qin suddenly turned her head to look at the open front door of the villa and then looked at the two servants, who seemed to be attentive as she spoke with a bit of displeasure.
"Her ankle is quite injured. The doctor warned that she must be bedridden this week. She can't come out to pick you all up. Mom, go inside first." Qin Gengxin said quickly.
Although this was a reasonable argument, Mrs. Qin was still not very satisfied, but she didn't say anything.
At that moment, a sound came from the other side of the door. Xian Guiying was holding onto a crutch. It was unknown when she had walked down the stairs and stood in front of the door.
"Dad, mom, grandmother!" Xian Guiying looked at them with a bright smile on her face. She held her crutch with one arm and walked with little difficulty, "I accidentally twisted my ankle a few days ago and I can't move around too much. As I heard the sound of a car upstairs, I wanted to go down, but my speed is a bit slow."
What Xian Guiying said made sense. Mrs. Qin's slight dissatisfaction disappeared from her face. She only nodded and said, "It's fine. How did you get so badly hurt?"
"Let's go inside first." Qin Xiaowen carried his luggage and walked inside. Obviously, he didn't like listening to the endless chatter between women.
Mrs. Qin didn't say anything further and followed him.
The Old Woman patted Qin Gengxin's hand and said, "Gengxin, the last time grandma brought a puppy was because I didn't know that Qianqian had an allergy to dog fur, and also Guiying didn't say anything to me. If you have something to say, say it out loud, Don't speak behind my back."
"Yes, grandma, you're right. Let's go inside first. Don't think so much when you're not feeling well." Qin Gengxin smiled patiently.
Xian Guiying pursed her lips speechlessly but continued to smile with great effort.
The Old Woman's attitude back then clearly showed that she wouldn't allow her to speak. What did Xian Guiying do wrong? At that time, this Old Woman would probably think that it was her fault. If there's a conflict and the Old Woman was at fault, she will use her grandson to side with her.
Well, it was Xian Guiying's fault again. No matter what, it was always her fault.
Xian Guiying had already mentally prepared herself for the Old Woman's temper. She only smiled as she went over to welcome her. "Grandmother, what you've said is that I wasn't thoughtful enough and made you suffer. If it is then, I would like to apologize to you. Please don't be angry ~"
With a straight face, the Old Woman glanced at her but did not say a word. She pulled Qin Gengxin and let him help her into the house.
"Madam …" Seeing that they had all entered, Darna quickly walked to Xian Guiying and called out to her in a small voice.
Xian Guiying glanced at her. She knew that Darna was feeling wronged for her sake, so she just smiled and said, "It's alright. Bring the luggage inside."
Qin Wenqian was in the bathroom next to the living room, taking a pee. Since the servants and her mother weren't by her side, she didn't know how to lift her own pants, so she walked around carrying half of her pants while staring at the people entering the house. When she saw her father and mother, she blinked and ran to Xian Guiying's feet and called out, "Mommy."
"Qianqian isn't playing upstairs today?" Mrs. Qin immediately saw Qin Wenqian and smiled. Even the last time Qin Wenqian pulled her ear, she's still her granddaughter.
Qin Gengxin helped the Old Woman sit on the couch, turned to pick up the luggage from Qin Xiaowen, then signaled to the servant to bring these bags upstairs. Then he turned to look at Qin Wenqian's bare ass.
"Why did this child run out just like that?" Qin Xiaowen also raised his eyebrows. Although he asked this question, he still had a smile on his face, as if the child's behavior amused him.
With luggage in hand, Dalisay and Darna had no time to spare at Qin Wenqian and could only carry them upstairs.
Xian Guiying placed her crutch near the door, then squatted down to help her daughter put on her pants while saying with a bit of embarrassment, "I think Qianqian ran out when she heard the car as she went to the toilet. Even though she knew how to pee herself, she still didn't know how to wear pants."
"What are you embarrassed at? A child this young, it would be weird if she could put on her own pants."
Seeing Qin Wenqian's good complexion this time, although she turned a blind eye to her grandparents, she was not as shy as last time. It was obvious that she had met them last time and had a vague impression of what was going on.
Mrs. Qin walked over with a smile and squatted down. "Qianqian, could you let grandma hug you, please? In the future, if mommy is busy, grandma will help you put on your pants."
Qin Wenqian turned around and looked at her. Blinking her eyes, she took a few steps back and leaned into Xian Guiying's arms. Then she looked at Qin Gengxin with a little doubt and fear in her eyes.
Even though the little girl was still young, she seemed to remember something that happened not long ago. Consciously she didn't like this grandmother who was mean to her mother. There was no intimacy in her eyes, just nervousness and faint rejection.
"This … Gengxin, why is your daughter so afraid of us? You and Guiying don't usually take her out to meet people?"
Mrs. Qin turned her head to ask her son. Obviously, it would not be good for her to say anything to Xian Guiying in front of him, so she pointed her spearhead at her son.
"Qianqian is still young, so it is natural if she's afraid of unfamiliar people. If she is warm to everyone she just met, then she would hug anyone she wanted to hug. Wouldn't she be easily taken away?" Qin Gengxin walked over with a smile and, at the same time, supporting Xian Guiying, who was squatting on the ground.
He handed her crutch and said, "Your ankle still doesn't heal, go sit over there."
Xian Guiying nodded and stood up. She then nodded at Mrs. Qin. "Mom, you should go take a seat as well."
Mrs. Qin didn't get to hug her granddaughter and was somewhat reluctant. She merely glanced at her and nodded meaningfully.
Qin Gengxin bent down to pick Qin Wenqian. The moment she was lifted, she immediately put her arms around his neck and put her face against his chin. She asked with a confused expression, "Daddy, what is grandmother?"
Qin Xiaowen also walked over with a smile. He smiled as he looked at the cute little kid in his son's arms. He rubbed her little nose and said, "Little darling, grandmother is daddy's mother. So, she is your grandmother."
