Chapter 310 - Xian Guiying’s Secret Was Finally Revealed III
Jiang Ruolan frowned as she glanced at the stubborn expression on Xian Guiying's face as she knelt there with her hands on her stomach. She was in a protective posture, but she refused to speak.
"Still not speaking? You're not willing to say, right?!" Old Man Xian gritted his teeth and swung his cane towards Xian Guiying.
"Grandfather!" Jiang Ruolan cried out in alarm.
Xian Zihao stepped forward to block the Old Man's hand, saying calmly, "Grandpa, are you sure you want to deal with this matter like this?"
"If I can't beat her up, then do you want her to give birth to the child that she has brought from who knows where?! Do you want our Xian Family to lose face?!" The Old Man glared at him.
"Ruolan is also pregnant. Do you have the heart to let her see you beat up Guiying and her child like this?" Xian Zihao didn't plan on provoking the Old Man, so his tone was much softer.
"Dad, Guiying might have some difficulties." Zhan An's voice became a lot softer, but she still walked over and pleaded for Xian Guiying. "If you have anything to say, then say it. After all, she is your granddaughter. Please don't beat her."
"My granddaughter? Is my granddaughter capable of doing such a thing? Even if the times are different now, this Old Man will not be able to keep up with your time! I can reluctantly accept your pregnancy, but whose child is it? Who is the child's father?! You actually refused to say it! Guiying! Are you trying to piss me off!"
"Grandfather! Calm down!" Jiang Ruolan hurried towards the Old Man and took hold of his arms. She then gently pulled the cane from the Old Man's hand and put it aside so that he wouldn't swing it at Xian Guiying.
She gently held onto the Old Man's hand and carefully said, "Grandfather, since you know that the times are different now, Guiying's matters are actually very small. It is not worth it for you to be so angry! Guiying is also not a child. She had her own life, had what she wanted and insisted. I think that when she is ready to tell you, she will say it! Don't be angry."
Old Man Xian took two deep breaths, hatred filling his eyes.
Xian Jian sat upright on the side with a cold expression and didn't say a word.
Xian Guiying knelt on the carpet and looked up at Jiang Ruolan. She smiled bitterly, "Sister-in-law, if grandpa could understand, he wouldn't be like this. If it wasn't for you telling him to stop, he won't stop. Even my mom couldn't stop him. I shouldn't have come back today, but now that I'm back, I know what I'm facing."
After she said that, she looked up at the Old Man, "Grandfather, if you want to beat me, then go ahead. I've left the Xian Family for so many years and you've never cared about me before. If you can't afford to lose your face like that, alright, just hit me, at most I'll just die!"
"You!"
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from outside. The next moment, the door was kicked open by someone. Qin Gengxin appeared in front of the door.
Everyone looked at him in shock. Xian Guiying obviously didn't know what had happened and she slowly looked behind. When she saw Qin Gengxin, her face, which hadn't even changed even when the Old Man tried to hit her, instantly turned pale.
Qin Gengxin seemed to have rushed over in a hurry. When he stood in front of the door, he was actually a little out of breath. He looked at the scene before him expressionlessly, then looked at Xian Guiying, who was kneeling on the carpet.
"Qin Gengxin?" Old Man Xian's originally livid face became even more surprised when he saw him. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and looked at Xian Guiying again.
"The child is mine."
Qin Gengxin's words stunned everyone in the room. Only Jiang Ruolan and Xian Zihao, who already knew about the inside story, remained calm. Jiang Ruolan was worried about what Qin Gengxin would do next.
Qin Gengxin walked through the doorstep by step. He glanced at Xian Zihao, then at Jiang Ruolan. His gaze lingered on her for three seconds before he abruptly looked away.
Qin Gengxin lowered his head to look at Xian Guiying, who was trying to stand up. He went towards her and yanked her up.
Xian Guiying was obviously shocked by the sudden turn of events. She tried to struggle free from his grasp, but Qin Gengxin firmly held her wrist and frowned at her. The seriousness in his eyes was something no one had ever seen before.
"I didn't expect it to be you." Qin Gengxin tried hard to suppress all of his tempers. His eyes were cold, but he tried his best to keep his voice low. He stared at Xian Guiying's face and squeezed her wrist. "Guiying, don't you think you had made the biggest mistake? If love is the blind pursuit of selfish possession, then you should know who exactly I want!"
Qin Gengxin suddenly pointed in Jiang Ruolan's direction. He didn't say anything more. However, his eyes represented everything.
The word "I want" had been bitten too hard by him, causing Xian Guiying to stumble. "I …I didn't mean for it to happen. I don't even want you to take responsibility."
"You don't want me to take responsibility?" Qin Gengxin started laughing, but it seemed like he was laughing at himself.
His voice was soft, but the strength of his grip on Xian Guiying's wrist seemed to indicate that he wanted to crush her. "I, Qin Gengxin, am a complete bastard! But I will never allow my children to be displaced outside!"
Xian Guiying frowned.
Qin Gengxin said lightly, "If this is the result you wanted..."
Xian Guiying shook her head and looked at him. "I don't want any results. Qin--"
Qin Gengxi suddenly smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "I'll marry you. We'll get married."
Xian Guiying looked at him in astonishment. Even though she had always been a capable person, she still couldn't stand the shock.
Qin Gengxi's gaze was extremely cold, causing Jiang Ruolan and Xian Zihao, who were both standing beside the Old Man, to frown.
Xian Guiying shook her head with all her might and struggled out of his grasp, retreating a step back. Her eyes were filled with determination, "If I wanted to use my child to force you to marry me, then I wouldn't have to wait until now! Qin Gengxi, you're right, love is not a selfish possession and I've never thought of taking it for myself!"
At this point, Xian Guiying suddenly laughed, and her eyes turned red, "I'm sorry that I caused you trouble. That day I did not push you away.?Yes, I admitted that I did it for my own. I just wanted to have a good memory but I didn't think that there would be a child.?After that I considered going to the hospital, but halfway through it, I changed my mind. I wanted to keep this child. That's why I didn't get rid of it! But I swear, the reason I kept this child was not for the present outcome! I'm not going to force you to do anything!"
"So you want to hide it from me for the rest of your life?" Qin Gengxin narrowed his eyes.
Xian Guiying bit her lips. In the end, the stubbornness in her eyes could not hide the fragility of being alone for five months.
Jiang Ruolan knew that Qin Gengxin's words had hurt Xian Guiying. No mercy, no compromise, and hate. It was as if Qin Gengxin was trying to say that this was all Xian Guiying's fault.
"Who will explain it to me? What exactly is going on?" Old Man Xian's ashen face gradually calmed down, but his expression was still as ugly as before. It was as if he had heard something from these conversations, and his gaze was already fixed on Qin Gengxin.
Qin Gengxin averted his gaze from Xian Guiying and glanced at the Old Man. He said in a calm voice, "There is no need to explain. Since the child is mine, I will take responsibility for it. Old Man, if you want to pursue the matter, you can come to me."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "Don't worry, the glory of my Qin Family will not cause the Xian Family to lose even the slightest bit of face."
Old Man Xian glared at him. "Kid …"
"I won't marry you!" Xian Guiying suddenly shouted. Her voice was filled with an unprecedented decisiveness, and when Qin Gengxin expressionlessly turned his head to look at her, she glared at him. "I don't need your sympathy! There was no need for charity! Qin Gengxin, if marriage is only a matter of forced responsibility, then I, Xian Guiying, will never marry you!"
After saying that, she quickly left without looking back.
"Guiying!"
"Guiying!"
