Chapter 668 - Is This Your Daughter
Although Qin Wenqian was no longer shy as before, she was still shocked when she was suddenly held by someone. She just looked at the woman who showed warmth to her with a blank face before turning to look at Xian Guiying.
Even though Xian Guiying had met Mrs. Wei before, she didn"t know her that well. First, she smiled at Wei Zhengsheng"s father, Mr. Wei. Then, she smiled at Mrs. Wei and said to her daughter. "Qianqian, this is Grandma Wei."
"Oh, Grandma Wei." Qin Wenqian said obediently, but she was still a little timid, so she didn"t sound very friendly.
"No need to call me Grandma Wei, just call me grandmother." Mrs. Wei was very happy. She turned around and was about to get into the car with the child. "Let"s get inside the car first. The wind is too strong today. Let"s go back to town to eat."
"Dad, mom, our flight is at 11 pm. We just had to wait for the plane." Wei Zhengsheng noticed the awkwardness in Xian Guiying"s face, so he immediately said this.
"Isn"t that a few hours away?" Mrs. Wei hugged Qin Wenqian and said with a smile, "When the time comes, I will drive you here. Your father and I have been here a few days and I found some good restaurants. It is almost time for dinner. Besides, this is the first time you"ve brought a child to see us."
"Auntie, you don"t have to." Xian Guiying laughed, "We"re going to board at 11 p.m. We must pa.s.s the security check around 10 p.m. This is too rushed, what if I treat you when you return to Boston?"
"How can that be?" Mr. Wei said with a smile. "There"s no need to be polite, hurry up and get in the car."
While Mrs. Wei playing with Qin Wenqian, the child politely gave her some wide smiles. Then, she tilted her head and looked at her mother with a strange expression. "Mommy, are they Uncle Wei"s parents?"
"That"s right, we"re Uncle Wei"s parents! Clever child. I never thought that you would be so smart and sane when you were only four years old. Good child, grandmother really likes you ~"
After several tries, Xian Guiying finally got into the car. In the car, she and Wei Zhengsheng were sitting in the back seat, with Qin Wenqian in her arms. The child slowly fell asleep.
Wei Zhengsheng held her hand with a faint smile. "Don"t be too nervous."
"That"s right, Guiying. Don"t be nervous. If you"re nervous, then we"re nervous too!" Mrs. Wei also said with a smile.
Xian Guiying immediately laughed. "No, I just ...It was a bit hard to get used to it."
She was not accustomed to a warm family. She was not accustomed to this kind of harmony and happiness shared by the whole family.
Her grandfather could more or less give her a share of his love for Cui Luixian and not all of it. As long as he was not biased, everyone would be happy together.
But no, that never came true.
"Oh yes, Guiying, since you came back to Boston, do you have a place to stay? Did you sell your house?"
"No, everything was transferred to my name by my brother. They"re still here. I"m not selling them." Xian Guiying smiled.
"Ah, then do you plan to live there permanently? Or ... "Mrs. Wei looked over her shoulder, at Xian Guiying. "How about we get Zhengsheng to arrange a place for you to stay?"
"Mom, you don"t have to worry about that. Guiying is not a child." Wei Zhengsheng interrupts Mrs. Wei"s barrack of questions.
Mrs. Wei pondered for a moment. She had heard that Xian Guiying was very mature and sane, so she shouldn"t be too worried. Although she wanted to express her concern to Xian Guiying, Mrs. Wei saw an awkward expression on her face, so she didn"t say anything and just gave her a soft smile.
With such an understanding, it was no wonder parents like this could raise a son like Wei Zhengsheng.
For some reason, Xian Guiying"s mind suddenly thought of Qin Gengxin. Qin Gengxin had a successful father, but after his successful career, Qin Xiaowen directly threw the company to his teenage son to train him. Qin Gengxin had been running this business since he was a teenager, leaving his parents in China to reside in the United States. Unlike Wei Zhengsheng, who lived with his parents in the United States all the time.
When she thought about how her brother Xian Zihao had been into fights several times while he was studying in the United States, it"s no wonder Qin Gengxin"s personality was indeed more rebellious.
Wei Zhengsheng"s life wasn"t very difficult. With a husband like this and parents-in-law like Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei, it was indeed a marriage that many women desire.
But was Xian Guiying worthy of him?
She turned to look out the window at the shadow of a tree.

At ten o"clock at night, Wei Zhengsheng and Xian Guiying walked into the security checkpoint.
Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei also live in Boston, but they have to spend a few more days in Los Angeles before returning. So this departure was filled with joy and antic.i.p.ation, not sentimental like the others.
Qin Wenqian was still unfamiliar with them, so she obediently said, "Goodbye, Grandpa Wei and Grandma Wei!" Then she threw herself into Xian Guiying"s arms.
As they entered the security checkpoint, a voice came from behind them. "Miss Xian?"
Xian Guiying turned around and immediately saw Mrs. Bai. Mrs. Bai smiled at her. "It"s been a long time since we last met." As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Qin Wenqian, who was in Xian Guiying"s arms. "What a cute child. Is this your daughter?"
Xian Guiying didn"t know why, but logically, Mrs. Bai shouldn"t know anything about her. She suddenly felt that Mrs. Bai knew the answer but still asked about it.
Xian Guiying smiled. "Mrs. Bai, what a coincidence."
"Indeed, I"m planning on going to Boston to meet my partners and I didn"t expect to meet you." As she spoke, Mrs. Bai looked at Wei Zhengsheng. "President Wei is here too."
Wei Zhengsheng pursed his lips and nodded politely. "Mrs. Bai."
The two companies had little interaction in the past, and there were only a few topics to discuss.
However, as they sat on the plane, Mrs. Bai happened to be sitting next to them. There weren"t many seats on the first-cla.s.s plane, so it can"t be called a coincidence, but it"s indeed too close.
Just before the plane took off, Mrs. Bai suddenly received a call. She smiled faintly into the phone and said, "What a tough guy. Since he refused to come to New York to find me, I didn"t mind letting him feel defeated."
Xian Guiying was fastening Qin Wenqian"s seat belt when she heard Mrs. Bai"s words. She suddenly turned and looked at her.
Mrs. Bai put down her cell phone and turned it off due to a reminder from the flight attendant. She then started to chat with her a.s.sistant in a low voice. Xian Guiying stared at Mrs.Bai for a while before slowly shifting her gaze away.
