Xian Guiying was startled. "We are still a short distance away from the Qin Family. How are you going to get there?"
"It's okay. I will take it slow. Since the road is so smooth, I'll just treat it as training my legs."
"But …"
Qin Gengxin should have returned to greet his grandmother. If the Old Man went like this, maybe …
However, before she could finish her sentence, the Old Man had an understanding look on his face as he said, "If Xing Jia knew that I had come, she would have definitely avoided me."
After saying that, he tried to get out of the car.
Afraid that he would fall, Xian Guiying hurriedly carried Qin Wenqian and got out of the car. She placed the child on the ground and let her walk beside her.
Xian Guiying reached out to support the Old Man. "Grandpa, be careful!"
Old Man Xian sighed. "I'm really getting older …"

Qin Family.
The moment Qin Gengxin entered the residence, the servant in the house looked at him as if she had seen something new.
"What are you looking at? Don't recognize me anymore?" Qin Gengxin glanced at the servant.
"Ah! Young Master Qin!" Only then did the servant realize what had happened. She happily went into the house, saying, "Madam! Sir! Young Master Qin is back!"
Qin Gengxin hadn't been home for several years, and nothing seemed to have changed here.
He sighed and smiled as he walked through the door. Mrs. Qin happened to walk out of the backyard of the Qin Family. As soon as she saw him, she hurried and walked quickly. "Gengxin!"
"Mom." Qin Gengxin smiled as he walked over and hugged her. "Why are you in the back?"
"I saw that the air was very fresh in the backyard, so I went to sit at the back. I thought you would arrive at night, but it's not even noon yet. Your grandmother also thought that you would arrive at night."
"Grandma isn't here?" Qin Gengxin's eyebrows twitched.
"It's almost noon. She should be back soon."
Qin Gengxin's brows creased. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll go and bring the car in."
After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and walked out.
"Hey, Gengxin!" Mrs. Qin hurriedly followed him out with a confused expression.

"The urban district in G City is much quieter than H City. Although this is downtown, it's not as noisy as H City. If H City also has a good environment, I don't have to live far away." Old Man Xian sighed as he walked forward. His gaze on both roads.
"There are actually planted forests, this is a pretty good place. Every city's land is now worth an inch of money. I never thought that someone would use such a good place to plant trees for the benefit of the residents around here."
"Grandfather, H City also has a place like this. It's just that you rarely go out and haven't seen it for yourself." Xian Guiying supported him with a smile. Then, she looked down at Qin Wenqian. She patted her daughter's head and said, "Qianqian, tell grandpa to go out and take more walks often."
"What are you asking that child? It's good enough for me to be able to walk around freely in the Xian family. I'm just feeling a little wronged now. If I could walk from the yard to the ancestral hall without a cane, I would be satisfied."
"Look at what you're saying …"
As she was laughing, Xian Guiying suddenly felt someone walking into an intersection behind her. She turned to look, but when she saw who it was, she was momentarily stunned. Her hand on the Old Man also stiffened a little.
The Old Woman from the Qin Family seemed to be more agile recently. Without relying on her cane, she slowly walked forward, with her head full of white hair and calm eyes. When Xian Guiying suddenly stopped, the Old Woman also raised her head and casually glanced at them.
When the Old Woman saw Xian Guiying, she frowned slightly. Then, she saw her supporting an old man. The Old Woman's expression didn't change at all.
"Why did you stop?" The Old Man was still smiling, but when he saw Xian Guiying staring blankly behind him, he slowly turned around and looked in the direction she was looking.
At that moment, it was as if decades of time had passed. Decades of time passed in an instant like tens of thousands of horses galloping. An older handsome man and a beautiful woman with a face were filled with wrinkles, two pairs of old eyes staring at each other, yet it seemed as if they hadn't recognized each other.
The Old Woman looked at them and then looked at Old Man Xian. She seemed to have guessed something, but she wasn't sure. However, her expression didn't look too good.
Old Man Xian was so happy that he wanted to walk towards her. However, his legs were not nimble and he almost fell as soon as he stepped forward. Xian Guiying quickly supported him. "Grandpa!"
Although the Old Woman heard Xian Guiying call the Old Man' grandpa', her expression did not change at all. She just looked at them coldly.
"Xing Jia?" With Xian Guiying's support, the Old Man took two steps towards her. However, the Old Woman only looked at him coldly. It's hard to tell what she was feeling.
Her cold demeanor made Old Man Xian, who was usually fearless, feel awkward. He even seemed to be afraid of this woman.
Qin Gengxin hurriedly walked out of the Qin Family yard. His footsteps were quick, and as he walked out, he saw the scene in front of him and stopped in his tracks, staring at the Old Woman in surprise.
Mrs. Qin also followed him out. After seeing this scene, she was also stunned for a moment. "This …"
"Grandmother." Xian Guiying greeted the Old Woman warmly. Qin Wenqian also learned from her mother and sweetly called out, "Grandma!"
The Old Woman's expression did not change at all. She just looked at them calmly, as if she had already guessed something. She suddenly scoffed, then laughed and shook her head. "Go back to wherever you come from."
When she said that, she walked closer but deliberately distanced herself from the Old Man, circling around them, and walked towards the Qin Family.
"Grandmother." Qin Gengxin called out to her, but she didn't respond. She just quietly walked over.
"Mom." Mrs. Qin saw that the situation was not good and immediately followed the Old Woman. However, the Old Woman did not respond and did not say a word.
"Mom, don't be angry. Gengxin only called us last night to tell us that he will be back today. He comes back to pay his respects, but Xian Tingfeng –"
"Let them go!" The Old Woman suddenly stopped and said angrily, "All of you, leave!"
Mrs. Qin paused for a moment as she looked at the cold back of the Old Woman, then turned to look at Qin Gengxin with a sigh. Qin Gengxin glanced at the Old Man, who was watching the back of the Old Woman from the other side, then said after a while, "I originally wanted to personally tell her so that she will be mentally prepared, but who would've thought that …"
However, Old Man Xian acted as if he didn't hear anything and walked towards the Qin Family with his cane. Xian Guiying went to help him once more, but the Old Man gently pushed her hand away and said, "No need …"
