Chapter 647 - She Doesn’t Want To See Me

Qin Gengxin didn't look at him. His gaze was focused on Xian Guiying, who stood silently inside the shop without saying a word to him. "Are you all right?"

As he spoke, he began to walk towards her.

Wei Zhengsheng raised his hand to stop him.

Qin Gengxin stopped walking and looked at the annoying bug in front of him. He looked at Wei Zhengsheng with an expressionless face.

"Wei Zhengsheng, we're not divorced yet, you should know that." Qin Gengxin looked at him calmly. He can't wait. Towards a rational man like Wei Zhengsheng, Qin Gengxin was naturally not inferior to him. Moreover, at this point, he did not want to provoke any more conflict.

Wei Zhengsheng didn't say anything. He looked at Xian Guiying, who stood there motionless and not saying a word. He then turned and looked at Qin Gengxin, who looked at him coldly.

"Three feet of ice, not one day's worth of cold." ¹ Wei Zhengsheng said.

Qin Gengxin's expression did not change. He just looked at him calmly. "So you want to melt this layer of ice with your hands?"

Mrs. Qin was so angry that her back was facing the door, waiting for Qin Gengxin to come out and explain to her. Still, she overheard their conversation in front of the door and immediately turned to Wei Zhengsheng, who was standing in front of the door, "What do you mean by three feet of ice? What do you know?"

With that, she looked at Xian Guiying. "Xian Guiying, how do you think we've tolerated you all this time? After the marriage, you never entered the Qin Family's door, not even once. If we didn't visit you in Boston, if Gengxin hadn't asked Assistant Huang to send us photos of the child, or if he wouldn't have called us occasionally, saying that you guys don't have time, and that you told him to say hello to us, if he hadn't been behind your back all these years, do you think your life could be so quiet these few years?"

"What do you mean by three feet of ice? Isn't my son good enough for you? I don't know why he wouldn't want to come home to see you and your daughter and I don't know why he never explained it, but he never said a word about you in front of us, and always defended you when we weren't happy with you. On the surface, we can't see the harmony and disharmony between the two of you husband and wife, but what Xiaowen and I saw was our son protecting you from behind!"

"Use your smart brain to figure it out! You never stepped into the Qin Family's door after you were married; have you ever wondered why we never called you? Why didn't Xiaowen and I calmly ask for the reason? If it weren't for Gengxin blocking these things for you, do you think your days would be that easy?!"

Wei Zhengsheng seemed to have understood something and looked directly at Qin Gengxin.

Xian Guiying's gaze finally fell on Qin Gengxin because of Mrs. Qin's words. She looked at him with a layer of mist covering her eyes. She couldn't see him clearly, nor could she understand him.

"Mom, wait for me outside for a moment." Qin Gengxin tried his best to stay calm as he spoke to Mrs. Qin.

Mrs. Qin held her breath and looked at Xian Guiying. She turned and went down the two bluestone steps, her hands across her chest, and looked at the people around her. "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a mother-in-law quarrel with daughter-in-law before?"

The crowd started whispering again, still pointing at them.

Mrs. Qin bit her lip and covered her face with a shawl that covered her neck. She then went to a less crowded place to make a call.

Wei Zhengsheng slowly lowered his hand as if thinking about what Mrs. Qin had just said. He looked at Qin Gengxin with suspicion and disbelief.

"Guiying." Qin Gengxin didn't enter the shop. He didn't want to provoke her further. "Regarding my mother's problem, I am very sorry. She appeared in Wuyuan out of nowhere. I didn't think she would immediately come to see you. For the harm you suffered today, if you think that if you beat her up again, it would ease your hatred a little, then do it on me."

Xian Guiying closed her eyes and frowned without saying anything. No one knew what she was thinking.

Wei Zhengsheng realized that she was not in good shape. Her face looked pale and transparent. He walked towards her and was about to grab her arm as she opened her eyes and looked straight towards Qin Gengxin.

"Qin Gengxin, I was really curious why your parents never questioned me about my absence for all these years." Her voice was slow, and when she spoke, it didn't appear to have much strength or effort.

"If what your mother said is true, then I really don't understand you, at all." She looked at him. Her eyes were very calm. Gradually, they became empty until she suddenly closed her eyes and fell down.

"Guiying!"

"Guiying!"

Wei Zhengsheng quickly held her body, preventing her from falling to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, Qin Gengxin quickly approached and put her arm around his shoulder. 

Wei Zhengsheng frowned as he looked at him.

"I ...I''m fine ..."

The red swelling on her forehead got redder. Xian Guiying couldn't gather strength. With just one sentence, her head fell helplessly into Wei Zhengsheng's arms. 

The next second, Qin Gengxin slowly released his grip and let Wei Zhengsheng pick her up. He then said in a hoarse voice, "My car is at the entrance of the ancient city. Here is the car key; please take her to the nearest hospital."

Wei Zhengsheng looked at him with a confused expression.

"She doesn't want to see me." Qin Gengxin looked at him with grim eyes. "Take care of her."

Wei Zhengsheng looked at the pale-faced Xian Guiying in his arms and took the key. Then, he got up and led her out of the shop.

When the people around the door saw this sight, they immediately retreated in fear and made way for him to rush out with the woman in his arms.

Qin Gengxin's hand rested on the wooden cabinet next to him, his fingers gradually tightening their grip on the edge of the cabinet.

"Gengxin, what happened?" After Mrs. Qin made the call, she turned around and saw Wei Zhengsheng carrying Xian Guiying away and immediately returned. Seeing Qin Gengxin standing there silently, she asked confusedly.

Qin Gengxin slowly turned to look at her, his gaze falling on the bag. "What's in your bag?"

Mrs. Qin paused for a moment, thinking of Xian Guiying's expression when she hit her a moment ago. She then whispered, "It's nothing."

Qin Gengxin pursed his lips and said nothing. He walked over and picked up the bag. Opening the bag, he saw several bottles of skincare products made of glass at the bottom.

Seeing him take out the bottle from the bag, Mrs. Qin pulled back the bag. "I can't kill her with it! Who knows if she was pretending to faint? Let me tell you, Gengxin, because you're my son and a man, as a mother, I shouldn't have bothered too much about a lot of things related to your life, but what has happened between you and Xian Guiying all this time? Why is she so determined to get a divorce? And what happened between her and Wei Zhengsheng?"

Qin Gengxin looked in the direction of where Wei Zhengsheng had left. Then, after a moment of silence, he asked, "How long do you plan to stay in Wuyuan?"

Seeing him react in such a way... Mrs. Qin was very unhappy with the question, but she frowned when she saw there were so many spectators around her. 

She didn't want to say too much in front of so many people, so she just said, "Let's talk about it after you've solved your problem."

Just as Qin Gengxin frowned and wanted to say something, Mrs. Qin looked at him. "You dare to ask me not to interfere in your problems? Gengxin, I'm your mother! If I come back like this, do you think I'll be able to sleep at home?"

Qin Gengxin rolled his eyes, put his hand in his pocket, and sighed. "Alright, I'll arrange a place for you to stay first. We'll discuss it when the time comes."

With that, he left the shop and walked towards East Street.

Then Mrs. Qin left contentedly.

Imagine if Jiang Ruolan married Qin Gengxin and had Mrs. Qin as her mother-in-law. Be glad that she's married to Xian Zihao. :)
