"It's not like that." Xian Guiying shook her head and laughed, "It is because I work and sometimes I need to go to the most basic factory under the company to do some inspection, and sometimes I also need to lend my hands to them. I was afraid I would lose the ring, so I don't wear it. How could I not like it? I left the ring in the bedroom cabinet."
Mrs. Qin didn't say anything. She only tried to coax Qin Wenqian, who played with the grass ring in Xian Guiying's hand and then looked at Xian Guiying's expression. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Is there a problem between you and Gengxin?"
Mrs. Qin probably wanted to ask that question last night. Xian Guiying smiled and said, "Mom, you're thinking too much."
"I hope it's just my concern." Mrs. Qin sighed. "Your father and I already old, so we don't want to worry too much about our child. Everyone has their own lives. It's better to cherish your own blessings."

The next day, the Old Woman ignored Xian Guiying. It was as if Xian Guiying wasn't there and she kept doing whatever she wanted. Over the next three days, the Old Woman went to buy some pots of flowers and plants, putting them in the yard.
That night, Qin Gengxin called home. Mrs. Qin was the one who answered the phone. He said that he had something to do and would not be back tonight. He told them to rest early.
At 8.30 am, Huang Jingguo drove Qin Xiaowen back. Mrs. Qin asks him if her son was really busy tonight until he can't go home. Huang Jingguo grumbled and only said that he had something to do.
At that time, Xian Guiying stood right next to Mrs. Qin, looking at Huang Jingguo blandly. Huang Jingguo looked at her with a bit of respect in his eyes. He deliberately called out. "Miss Xian."
Xian Guiying curled her lips and asked casually, "Is he at the company tonight?"
Huang Jingguo was stunned for a moment and then nodded his head. Then, he shook his head with uncertainty in his eyes. Obviously, Qin Gengxin just told him he wouldn't come back tonight, but Huang Jingguo didn't know what he was busy at.
If it was a matter of the company, how could Huang Jingguo, who was Qin Gengxin's assistant didn't know about it? However, Xian Guiying only nodded and thanked him.

For the next four or five days, Qin Gengxin did not return, and the people of the Qin Family also had no intention of leaving. It was clear that they were planning to stay here longer, so this time they were in no hurry.
Xian Guiying's injury was much better after a week's rest. As long as she walked a little slower, there won't be a big deal. So she went straight to the company on Wednesday morning.
On the way to the office, she saw a red sports car parked next to a fast-food restaurant not far away. She knew the girl in the driver's seat, and even when the girl wore a pair of very large black super sunglasses, she still recognized the figure clearly.
While her car stopped at the red light, Xian Guiying looked at the red car through the rearview mirror. She remembered that it had already been a long time since she heard that Mrs. Bai had brought her daughter to Boston, so why did Bai Nuying still be here? Was Bai Group in New York not busy right now?
After the red light ended, Xian Guiying stepped on the throttle. She suddenly noticed Bai Nuying holding two boxes of breakfast in her hand and placing them in the passenger seat.
After that, the traffic flashed by, and she could no longer see the sight clearly.

"I heard your ankle is badly injured, so why you came to work so early?" Assistant Dai placed the documents on Xian Guiying's desk. Seeing that she was signing other documents, Assistant Dai teased her while laughing, "Are you unwilling to leave our Vice-President Wei alone at the company?"
Xian Guiying glanced at her. "Why do you say that?"
"I saw it that day. Vice-President Wei drove to see you early in the morning once he heard your ankle was injured and saw that he had specially bought breakfast. Seeing that he was so concerned about you, I said, Miss Guiying, can you just consider your marriage with him? You should be with him."
Xian Guiying lowered her head, took the documents that Secretary Dai had brought in, and looked at them. "Is the contract for the project with Qin's about to expire?"
"It's almost due, there's still about a month and a half left. Why? Aren't you planning to renew it, or are you decided to find another partner?"
"Give me the original contract later. Let me see." Xian Guiying didn't explain; she just said, "Go and tell Wei Zhengsheng that I plan to sell that piece of land from Zaozhuang. Our domestic real estate business has not been going well recently, so the country's in-charge will find time to come and see me."
"That piece of land was something you barely managed to get at that time. Are you planning to sell it?" Secretary Dai was surprised.
"I have my own plans. It's impossible to do a business when there has a loss. But the villas in Handan need to be reconsidered. I will send someone back to the country to investigate. You can just tell Wei Zhengsheng the truth, and if he feels that it's not right, we can talk about it later."
With that, Xian Guiying put down the pen in her hand, stood up, and poured a glass of water.
Seeing Xian Guiying's calm attitude, Secretary Dai just shrugged her shoulders. She felt that she had made too much of a fuss and decided to left the office.
As soon as the door closed, Xian Guiying put down her glass and stood by the window, looking at the views outside.
Her gaze remained calm as she looked at traffic. She stood there for a few minutes, not realizing there was a knock on the door.
When Wei Zhengsheng walked in, he saw Xian Guiying standing by the window, lost in thought.
Hearing the footsteps behind her, Xian Guiying came back to her senses and turned around. Realizing Wei Zhengsheng was in the room, she was stunned for a moment, "When did you arrive? Why didn't you knock on the door?"
"I already did, but you didn't hear it." Wei Zhengsheng threw documents related to Zaozhuang land to her desk. "Secretary Dai just reported your decision to me. Do you think that China's land business is not as stable as it was three years ago?"
"No." Xian Guiying walked towards her desk, "I have a better plan. Isn't Cangzhou Real Estate secretly fighting with us all this time? Their boss has been eyeing this land for a long time and is still thinking of fighting for it. Let's give it to him."
"Give bait to catch big fish, huh?" Wei Zhengsheng smiled.
Xian Guiying paused for a moment, then looked at him with a smile. "You know me very well, Brother Wei."
