Chapter 178
Qin Xiang was amused by her own thoughts. If Ge Lijuan was really such a person, she would not have waited until now, nor would she have told Meng Huaiqing these when he was injured.
After thinking about it, it seems that she asked Miao Sheng to do this, or was it to remind her to be nicer to Meng Huaiqing?
Qin Xiang remained calm and nodded in response, "Okay, Grandma Ge, let's go downstairs for a walk."
Meng Huaiqing, who was lying there, frowned slightly, "Grandma..."
"Rest well. We'll bring her back to you shortly. Don't worry." Ge Lijuan sighed, her grandson truly grown up and now knew how to protect his partner. She chuckled, "I won't bully her."
Meng Huaiqing smiled helplessly, "You can't bully her."
Qin Xiang looked at him speechlessly, "You have a lot of confidence in me."
Meng Huaiqing nodded sincerely, "Of course."
Because Qin Xiang had said that no one would dare bully him in this life, and he believed that. He was just worried that his grandmother would say something unpleasant, and what if that angered Qin Xiang and made her unwilling to date him?
It is not easy to meet someone who loves you and is intimate with you, and Meng Huaiqing does not want to give up easily.
Watching the two of them leave, Meng Huaiqing was helpless.
The old man and the young girl went straight out and downstairs. There was a small garden with beautiful scenery downstairs of the hospital. Ge Lijuan walked slowly due to her age, so Qin Xiang supported her and walked slowly.
When they reached a deserted spot, the old lady sat down on a stone bench and looked at Qin Xiang and said, "Did you ask Miao Sheng to go back?"
Qin Xiang did not deny it, "Yes."
Ge Lijuan laughed, "You don't trust me."
"Should I believe you?" Qin Xiang looked at her and asked her doubts, "On one side is the grandson you raised, and on the other side, although you didn't raise him, he is also the grandson of your biological son. When they meet, they have to call you grandma respectfully. Can you bring yourself to take revenge for Huai Qing?"
Her questions were sharp and merciless, piercing people's hearts. She didn't hold back at all just because the person standing in front of her was an elderly person.
Qin Xiang only got a glimpse of Miao Sheng's childhood experiences from him, but that little bit was enough to make her feel bad. Although she grew up in the countryside, her family was poor, and her mother favored boys over girls, her grandmother was still alive at the time. Her grandmother raised her and her siblings equally, so although her childhood was not without its shortcomings, she had a happy life.
Unlike Meng Huaiqing, who lost his mother at a young age, watched his father quickly remarry, and was subsequently tortured by his stepmother. Fortunately, he eventually corrected his mistakes and did not grow up astray. For this, she was grateful to Ge Lijuan, but she could not admit that Ge Lijuan's mistakes had led to Meng Huaiqing's childhood abuse. Physically, stomach problems had always been a hidden danger.
But no matter what, they are also blood relatives. No matter how much she loves Meng Huaiqing, can she break up with her own son for him?
After Qin Xiang finished speaking, Ge Lijuan fell silent. She looked at Qin Xiang with sharp eyes and asked instead of answering, "Then can you accompany Huai Qing until old age?"
Hearing this, Qin Xiang seemed to have heard something very reasonable and couldn't help but laugh. Still without answering, she asked, "No one in this world can promise to stay faithful to someone for a lifetime and to stay with them until old age. He can't, and neither can I. Even if I say I can now, can you believe it? People's hearts are the easiest to change. You never know, they might change their minds and want to change partners in the next second. The only thing I can promise you is that when I love him and want to be with him, I will treat him with all my heart, but we are equals and our feelings will be mutual. If one day I find that he doesn't love me anymore, even if I still love him, I will leave him without hesitation. In my opinion, emphasizing everlasting feelings is deceptive, and falling in love is also very stupid. On this point, I believe that Meng Huaiqing and I are in harmony and our thoughts are at the same level."
"You are very smart." Ge Lijuan was not displeased by Qin Xiang's words. Instead, she said this seriously.
Qin Xiang shook her head. "No, I'm not smart. I've just hit the wall a lot and gained experience. I'm sure you know I've been married and divorced before. Everything has to be learned from experience. The more I've experienced, the more open-minded I am."
These words were all she was thinking. She had no idea what Ge Lijuan meant. Whether she wanted her to leave Meng Huaiqing or stop, she would play dumb until she got the answer. Of course, Ge Lijuan had no obligation to explain to her. Perhaps she could have stopped it privately. Although she was disappointed, it didn't matter.
She thought for a moment and said, "As for what I asked Miao Sheng to do, I will tell Meng Huaiqing. If he asks me to stop, that's fine. After all, Miao Sheng is his subordinate. Miao Sheng is willing to listen to me only because he feels sorry for Meng Huaiqing."
Ge Lijuan chuckled and sighed, "You're right."
Qin Xiang frowned slightly at Ge Lijuan's words, but the other party obviously had no intention of continuing.
"It's getting late. You should go back and rest. I'll come to visit Huaiqing tomorrow morning." Ge Lijuan stood up, looked at Qin Xiang gently, reached out and held her hand, and said, "Xiao Qin, I hope you can be well with him. He is hurt."
Qin Xiang raised an eyebrow. "The pain in his heart was caused by the people closest to him, not me. I am not accompanying him to heal his wounds. Whether the wound can be healed depends on you and me."
Ge Lijuan nodded, "Yes."
If she had not wanted the child to have a mother and had not bravely handed Huai Qing over to that woman, perhaps Huai Qing would not have suffered double harm.
After watching the old lady and her people leave, Qin Xiang turned and went upstairs.
It was already past seven in the evening, and the sky was just getting light outside. Meng Huaiqing was not asleep. When he heard Qin Xiang's footsteps, he turned around and asked, "What did grandma say to you?"
Qin Xiang poured him a glass of water and handed it to him before smiling, "What are you worried about? Are you worried that your grandma will break up the couple?"
Meng Huaiqing smiled, "Not really, I'm just worried that grandma might say something that might upset you."
"What could she say?" Qin Xiang smiled and spread her hands, saying regretfully, "I thought she would throw five million in my face and ask me to leave you. I was prepared for a heartbreaking breakup, but it didn't happen."
Meng Huaiqing was amused. "So you're feeling regretful?"
Qin Xiang nodded with a painful look on her face, "A little bit, five million. With five million, I can open a factory directly."
"Then you're disappointed. Grandma won't give you five million." Meng Huaiqing couldn't help laughing when he looked at her watch.
At least he could be sure of one thing, no matter what his grandmother said to Qin Xiang, Qin Xiang did not let their relationship change because of it, so he felt relieved.
After drinking some water from her hand, Meng Huaiqing reached out and held her hand, saying, "If five million can make you happy, I'm willing to give it to you. But I know you won't accept it."
Qin Xiang was amused. "That's not necessarily true. You know, I value money like my life. In my opinion, money is more trustworthy than men. Men may change their hearts, but money in your hand will never change. And now that I have money, why should I worry about not finding a good man? If I spend money casually, there will be excellent men coming to me. If all else fails, I can always find a few older men, one to cook for me and another to massage my legs, don't you think?"
As she continued speaking, Meng Huaiqing's eyes gradually deepened, "I'm sorry, I ruined your good fortune, and I won't let you have this opportunity."
Qin Xiang: "You worry too much. I don't have the money or time to cause so much trouble right now."
Yes, in her eyes, men are sometimes troublesome, and having Meng Huaiqing, who is considerate and not clingy, is enough.
Meng Huaiqing smiled, "It seems that I have satisfied you."
Qin Xiang nodded, "Indeed, I am still satisfied with it at the moment."
Qin Xiang sat beside his bed and looked at him, "So you have to behave well."
"certainly."
Qin Xiang confessed again, "While you were asleep, I asked Miao Sheng to return to Gangcheng to avenge you."
Meng Huaiqing didn't seem surprised. "Then let me guess what you want him to do."
"you guess."
Meng Huaiqing said without hesitation, "You will ask him to investigate the background of those people, expose them, and bring disgrace upon them."
Qin Xiang nodded, "That's right, I can't go to Hong Kong City for the time being, and the solutions I can think of are limited."
She did want to destroy the Jiang family's business directly, but she knew her own strengths and weaknesses. With her current abilities, it would be really difficult for her to stir up trouble in Gangcheng and bring down the Jiang family.
People should know their own limitations. If they can't do it, they should just not try. Not only will it alert the enemy but it will also easily lead to failure.
Hong Kong is different from mainland China. There are a lot of tabloids and paparazzi in Hong Kong these days. Of course, it's not ruled out that some tabloids are controlled by the Jiang family, but with so many, there are bound to be some that slip through the net. Who cares about Jiang family gossip?
Qin Xiang looked at Meng Huaiqing and asked doubtfully, "I don't think you really can't compete with them, so why did you let them go?"
Meng Huaiqing didn't hide anything and said helplessly, "Because I don't want to go back and inherit the family business, and I'm also worried that if I bring them down and they become penniless, they'll turn around and blame me. But I have everything Miao Sheng wants to check. Call him tomorrow and ask him to go find Assistant Liu."
"Aren't you afraid that if I do this, the Jiang family will be in trouble and blame you?"
Meng Huaiqing shook his head, "No, because you know that doing so will only damage their reputation and make them laugh, but it won't really bring down the Jiang family."
Hearing this, Qin Xiang felt helpless and angry, "So we're just going to let them go?"
"Of course not." Meng Huaiqing said, "There are many things that we need to take our time with. But I will handle this matter later. Don't pollute your ears with these dirty things."
Seeing that he had a plan, Qin Xiang felt relieved, "Okay, I'll call tomorrow."
She glanced at her watch and said, "I'm going back to the hotel to pack my things. You can rest first."
"Then will you come back?" Meng Huaiqing looked at her expectantly.
Qin Xiang asked, "Do you want me to come back?"
Meng Huaiqing nodded, "Yes."
Qin Xiang responded, "Then you wait."
Before it got completely dark outside, Qin Xiang returned to the hotel, packed up the intact silk clothes and handed them to Mi Hongjun. She then put the defective ones away separately, moved them along with her luggage, and sent them directly to the big house arranged by Meng Huaiqing.
Qin Xiang cooked some soft vegetable noodles and then took them to the hospital.
It was only two hours after they left, and it was completely dark. Meng Huaiqing had already fallen asleep.
Qin Xiang quietly put down the things in her hands and prepared to go wash up. Unexpectedly, Meng Huaiqing opened his eyes and said, "You're back."
Qin Xiang nodded. "I'm sorry to have woken you up. Are you hungry? I cooked some noodles."
"I want to eat even though I'm not hungry." Meng Huaiqing looked at her gently, "Every time I eat the food you cook, it always reminds me of my mother."
Qin Xiang chuckled, "How about you call me mom? Then I'll instantly have a big son?"
Meng Huaiqing was helpless, "Don't even think about taking advantage of me."
The small dining table was set up, and each person had a small bowl of noodles. Qin Xiang also took out a small bottle of chili sauce, which she bought downstairs. The bland noodles had no taste, so she just scooped a spoonful and stirred it, and it tasted very good.
Meng Huaiqing has a light taste, so he didn't envy her. He just said, "Eating too much chili is not good."
Qin Xiang glanced at him and said, "At least I don't have stomach problems."
Meng Huaiqing sighed, "It hurts."
After finishing the noodles, someone naturally washed the dishes. Qin Xiang sat on the bed next to the caregiver and said seriously, "If you need to go to the bathroom, you can call me. Don't be shy. Is there any part of your body that I don't know?"
She said this out of the blue. Meng Huaiqing didn't react at first, and then his face turned red. He was a little embarrassed to look at her, "That's different."
"It's just a little extra. It's a urinal, so what's there to be afraid of?" Qin Xiang said and went to wash up. After washing up, she came out and wiped Meng Huaiqing's face with a towel.
It's summer, and even though the air conditioner is on in the room, it's still uncomfortable to lie down.
After wiping his face, Qin Xiang naturally wiped his body. Meng Huaiqing held her hand and said in a hoarse voice, "I can do it myself."
However, before he could sit up, he couldn't help frowning. The injury on his head would make him dizzy and nauseous from time to time.
Qin Xiang said, "Let me do it. It's a rare opportunity for me to take care of you. If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to take care of me again. If you feel embarrassed, you can take care of me in the future. I promise I won't be shy."
Meng Huaiqing smiled, "This is different."
"Isn't it the same?" Qin Xiang raised an eyebrow. "Here, here, haven't I kissed you?"
Meng Huaiqing was speechless. Sometimes he was indeed not as open as Qin Xiang.
Meng Huaiqing did not stop him, and Qin Xiang quickly wiped him clean, inside and out, leaving no spot uncovered.
But sometimes, men are not honest even when they are sick, even the most reserved ones are the same.
After finally finishing wiping, Qin Xiang was sweating. This luxurious ward was different. It had a toilet and a shower. Qin Xiang took a shower and changed clothes, then asked him, "If you need anything, just tell me."
Perhaps wiping his body had already made Meng Huaiqing question his life, so when it came to going to the bathroom, he didn't hesitate anymore and nodded in self-abandonment, "Okay."
The next morning, before Qin Xiang called Miao Sheng, Miao Sheng called first, "Miss Qin, the old lady is looking for me."
