Chapter 657 - Our Qin Family Can’t Accept Such An Eccentric Woman In Our Family

When Wei Zhengsheng returned, Xian Guiying was asleep. It was unknown if she was having a nightmare. She slept soundly, but her eyebrows were a little furrowed.

He placed the dinner box on the table and stroked her forehead. Looking at the red and swollen area on her forehead, he noticed that the redness had faded slightly.

In fact, Xian Guiying did not sleep well, she had long dreams. As Wei Zhengsheng withdrew his hand, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at him. "You're back."

He answered with a grunt and took the dinner box before giving it to her. "Eat first, then you can continue sleeping."

Xian Guiying didn't take it, she just said, "Set it aside for a moment. I'll eat it later. I'm not hungry."

Wei Zhengsheng knew that she had just woken up and didn't have an appetite, so he didn't force her. He poured a glass of water and placed it next to the dinner box, then said, "Qin Gengxin called you just now and I picked it up."

Xian Guiying raised her hand and rubbed her forehead. After a slight pause, she lowered her hand and turned to look at him. "What did he say on the phone?"

She asked with a faint smile. Seeing that he didn't answer her question, Xian Guiying sat up and crossed her legs as she leaned on the headboard. She then opened the dinner box quickly and said as she scooped the food. "Whatever he says, I'm not interested in hearing it."

Wei Zhengsheng sighed and placed the phone next to her. "From the tone of his voice, even though he didn't say anything about Qianqian, it appears that the child was fine with him."

"He didn't tell you about Qianqian because he was afraid you would steal his daughter." Xian Guiying muttered as she ate the food in the dinner box.

"You really understand his temperament." Wei Zhengsheng sat on the edge of her bed with a faint smile as he watched her eat.

His words didn't sound sour, but Xian Guiying was still looking up at him and saw that he was smiling casually.

She pursed her lip, reached out to drink a sip of water, and said, "There's nothing I don't understand. If I don't know you well enough, I will think that you're testing me to see how I react."

Wei Zhengsheng raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "Since when did you learn mind reading?"

Xian Guiying glanced at him. "What do you mean by that? Have you forgotten how I achieved my nicknames in the American business community?"

After saying that, she put down her chopsticks. "Boston's coldest and most beautiful Chinese woman, the suicidal American business ruler and Li Moshan¹?"

As she counted, she suddenly frowned. "Didn't Li Moshan die because of a man? Can this be considered a curse?"

Seeing her sitting there entertaining herself, Wei Zhengsheng smiled. "They're all wrong."

She smiled at him. "What do you mean by wrong?"

"You are Mu Wanqing². The brave, loyal, and gentle Mu Wanqing."

Xian Guiying shivered. "Never mind, I will continue to be an exterminator then."

"Why?" Wei Zhengsheng raised an eyebrow.

Xian Guiying chuckled slightly. "Mu Wanqing loves her stepbrother ..."

Wei Zhengsheng immediately thought of Xian Zihao and smiled. Xian Guiying also giggled. They both sat in the ward and laughed for a long time until Wei Zhengsheng stopped smiling. He pointed to the dinner box in front of him and said, "Continue eating."

Only then did Xian Guiying's smile disappear as she lowered her head and ate the food.

There was no trace of happiness in her eyes, only loneliness.

The next day.

When Nanny Zhang came to pick up Qin Wenqian, Qin Gengxin wanted to send his daughter to kindergarten personally. However, when Nanny Zhang came, Qin Wenqian immediately went into her arms, not letting him send her.

Qin Gengxin's desire to regain his daughter's heart could not be fulfilled until the knot in the child's heart was untied.

When he saw Qin Wenqian being led out of the area by Nanny Zhang, he stood in front of the unit's door and watched the child leave. He remembered how Qin Wenqian unconsciously slipped into his arms as she slept last night.

His phone suddenly rang, and it was a call from the United States. Huang Jingguo said that since yesterday afternoon, partners in the company's main project have successively requested contract cancellation, and the investors behind these partners own large shares in the Bai Group.

It surely had something to do with Mrs. Bai.

"Boss, did something happen between you and Miss Bai? I heard that she returned to New York two days ago and after that, all the business deals with our company went haywire."

"I understand." Qin Gengxin interrupted him with a light sentence before hanging up the phone.

The so-called top five hundred companies in the world were not completely self-sufficient. Someone once said that a person worth billions of dollars owed several tens of millions of dollars in debt the moment he opened his eyes every day.

And the moment the investor and the partner of a large-scale project broke the contract and cut off the company's main economic source, the company would also face the biggest crisis.

Without any external help, the company would face bankruptcy.

The reason why the Qin's remained strong for many years was partly because of their strong foundation, and most of the partners were old friends. The relationship between these partners was very stable and harmonious.

Lastly, it was because of Qin Gengxin's decisive decisions and assessments.

Only a few years ago, during the financial crisis, Qin Corporation was hit by a malicious attack from a certain company, causing a problem with their endorsement products, and at that time, the company was under Qin Gengxin.

And today, once the large investors cancel their contracts and join forces to cancel their projects, Qin's will become a lonely boat in the sea.

This was how the business world was. If someone made a wrong move, they would lose it all easily.

Qin Gengxin stood in front of the door of the dilapidated unit. Sunlight shone on his face. His black eyes stared at the scenery in front of him and didn't move for a long time.

When Qin Gengxin went back upstairs, he had just opened the door and met Mrs. Qin, who was about to leave.

"You want to get out?" He asked.

Mrs. Qin nodded and left without a word.

Qin Gengxin stepped in front of her, cleverly blocking her path. "Mom, what are you trying to do?"

Mrs. Qin looked at him. "I'm going for a walk!"

In the end, Mrs. Qin had no choice but to tell the truth under her son's probing gaze. "I'll go to the hospital to see whether that woman is dead or not. I want to talk to her. You two can get divorced. After all, our Qin Family can't accept such an eccentric woman in our family!"

"Also, I want to interrogate her on how exactly she teaches her daughter. Qianqian wouldn't even look at me during breakfast. She would say 'thank you, Grandma Yuan' to Nanny Yuan, but she would pretend that I was not there! That's my granddaughter!"

"Mom!" Qin Gengxin frowned as he was trying to restrain Mrs. Qin.

"Move aside! I'll look for Xian Guiying!"

"Mom, that's enough!" Qin Gengxin immediately stopped Mrs. Qin and pushed her to the edge of the couch. "Mom, listen to your son. Don't go bother her."

Hearing her son persuade her like a child, Mrs. Qin's anger soared, and her eyes reddened. "My granddaughter doesn't know me! I can also see that the child also doesn't care about you, her father! How did this cursed Xian Guiying educate this child? Do you want your flesh and blood not to recognize you? This woman's scheme is too deep, too scary!"
