My Little Sweet Wife Chapter 716 - The Past IV

Chapter 716 - The Past IV

Qin Gengxin must have known from a very young age that his grandfather was killed by Old Man Xian, so when he and Xian Zihao first met in the United States, they would fight, but they gradually became brothers who shared hards.h.i.+ps.

The grudges between the ancestors did not affect the friends.h.i.+p between these two brothers since they were only brothers and not married into an enemy's family, so it would not affect them too much.

That's why Qin Gengxin said that he had almost lost control of his emotions long ago, but he had no choice but to stay far away from her. He just didn't want to lose his heart over her and didn't want to take the risk.

It was only because her grandfather had forced his grandfather to his death, and when Xian Guiying married into the Qin Family, the two of them would definitely not be happy.

Just because it's like this …

Qin Gengxin said he only knew that his grandfather was killed by Old Man Xian but didn't know the specific reason.

So that's the real reason, wasn't it?

Xian Guiying suddenly realized that after she found out the truth, she actually didn't have the face to face Qin Gengxin's grandmother, the pathetic woman who had saved her grandfather but whose life had been ruined by him all those years ago.

She was alone with Qin Gengxin's mother, so she must have suffered a lot in her life. In the end, the grandson she doted on the most ended up marrying the granddaughter of her enemy.

What kind of evil fate was this?

"Grandfather, how many years has it been since you last saw Xing Jia?" Xian Guiying asked suddenly.

Old Man Xian was stunned for a moment. "It's been decades. I don't know how she looks now, but she's probably not as old. When she was young, she was very beautiful, really very beautiful."

"Cui Luixian looked like her when she was young, doesn't she?" Xian Guiying suddenly said with a smile.

The Old Man didn't reply immediately. He was silent but tacitly agreed. After a moment, he asked, "How did you know?"

"When I was a child, I saw a picture in the drawer of the old cabinet in the attic. The woman in the photo was very beautiful and later on, I realized that Cui Luixian had grown up to be very similar to the woman in the photo."

She hadn't really understood the reason for this all along, but now she probably understood. "You put all the apologies you had for Xing Jia back then, all the compensation you could not give to her to Cui Luixian. That's why you're willing to forgive all of her wrongdoings without reason. You'd rather force your own granddaughter away than let her suffer even the slightest bit. Grandfather, am I right?

Old Man Xian did not nod or deny it. He slowly closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

"What blood relation does Cui Luixian have with the two of you?"

"The reason why I brought Cui Luixian back home all those years ago was really purely because of the love I had for her and because the Old Cui had saved me. It was only later on, I discovered that she really looked like Xing Jia. That small appearance, that facial features, they really looked more and more alike. Over time, Xing Jia's apology was gradually transferred onto her. I was really confused, too muddle-headed. For a girl with such a vicious heart, I almost ruined Zihao's and your happiness."

"It's all over." Xian Guiying smiled. "Grandfather, since you can put all your apologies onto Cui Luixian, it means that you still care about Xing Jia. Since you know your mistake, why don't you go and find her? Why don't you just say sorry to her face to face? You are all old, and some things can be let go as long as you open your mouth. After torturing each other for a lifetime, why don't you cherish this short time and use it to resolve the past grudge? Isn't it better to spend your last years together?"

Old Man Xian suddenly laughed. "Child, you're thinking too simply."

He didn't deny her simple words and her beautiful vision. The Old Man only pursed his lips. "This is the only hope in my heart. She said that she hated me for all her life and that even if I killed myself in front of her, she wouldn't forgive me."

"That's just her temper when she was young. When people get old, they will always let go. After all, you guys loved each other back then. Even though she married that man and gave birth to his child, she did not love him. The person she loved was you, grandfather. "

Old Man Xian was once again stunned, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

"I suddenly remember when grandmother died in the hospital, you were sitting by her bedside, and she held your hand. She said in a very soft voice, 'Go find her …'. What did that mean? After living with you for dozens of years, she must know that she has yet entered your heart. When she left, she didn't have a single trace of resentment. Grandfather, do you want these two women to die in sorrow? At least grandmother has been gone for so many years, and she has given you good wishes, so why don't you have the courage to apologize? You could have apologized to Jiang Ruolan for what you did when you were young and paid for what you did. Why didn't you even have the courage to look for Xing Jia?"

"You, youngsters, you always come up with something." The Old Man sighed lightly, but he did not speak too much. He just looked at the slightly opened window in silence.

After all, Xing Jia and he had known each other for so many years. Even if she went abroad to study, before she left, and after she came back, there must have been many other stories between them.

Qin Gengxin's grandmother had hated her grandfather for so many years, but in reality, she must have loved him very much back then.

When her grandfather left, she would secretly return the jade stone to him. It was probably because she felt that the man she loved deeply wasn't someone she could catch.

No matter how open-minded Xing Jia was, she still had the temperament of a little woman wis.h.i.+ng for a warm and peaceful home.

But her grandfather couldn't give her what she wanted.

She gave him back the jade stone, a sign for her to say goodbye, that she had already let him go.

Seeing the Old Man remained silent, Xian Guiying felt a pang of heartache. "Grandfather, let me push you out for some fresh air. The air in the study is too heavy."

"No need, I want to be with myself for a while. You can leave."

Xian Guiying hesitated for a moment before she got up and left the study. When she went downstairs, she saw Qin Gengxin standing near the stairs.
