1457 She Has A Condition
Xue Yi said indifferently, “Mr. Kang, when your Kang family was looking for your biological daughter, you once said that Kang Qingzhi is just an adopted daughter. It’s because you missed Xi Xi that you adopted her. In the end, Kang Qingzhi is just Xi Xi’s shadow. It’s all thanks to Xi Xi that she was able to join the Kang family. Now that Xi Xi is back, she’s not even asking you to chase Kang Qingzhi away. However, you actually let Xi Xi be bullied by an adopted daughter. Look at her expression. Isn’t this too much?”
Kang Ru looked troubled. “Qingzhi grew up in the Kang family since she was young. She’s also my daughter. We can’t treat Qingzhi badly now that Xi Xi is back, right?”
Xue Yi was furious. “Xi Xi has never made things difficult for Kang Qingzhi. You have to know your priorities! Xi Xi is the eldest daughter of the Kang family. However, she has to go along with the whims of the adopted daughter even when she wants to return to her home. Just because she’s sick, Xi Xi can’t even stay in the main residence. Then what’s the point of returning to this family?”
Kang Ru instantly fell silent. He began to reflect on himself.
However, Qingzhi had been by his side for more than ten years. He had long treated her as his biological daughter. The two of them were both his daughters. He did not want to favor one over the other, but when he thought about it carefully, it was so unfair to Xi Xi! Even so, he could not bear to abandon Qingzhi!
Gu Zheng’s voice was low. “Actually, Xi Xi doesn’t have to be the daughter of the Kang family. Weren’t you the ones who came all the way here to look for her?”
Qiao Xi’s eyes narrowed slightly as the corners of her mouth curled into a smile.
Kang Jichuan looked unhappy. “President Gu, what are you talking about?! Xi Xi is my younger sister, so she’s naturally the daughter of the Kang family. Could it be that she can’t tolerate Qingzhi?”
“Young Master Kang, I can emphasize it again.” Gu Zheng’s gaze was cold as he said word by word, “If you want Xi Xi to return to the Kang family, you have to know where your priorities should lie between your biological sister and adopted sister. You have to clarify Xi Xi’s name and let everyone know that Xi Xi is the eldest daughter of the Kang family. Now, it seems that not only did you not do it, but you even let the family’s adopted daughter ride on Xi Xi’s head. Thus, there’s no need for you to acknowledge her as your biological sister.”
The moment that was said, the expressions of the Kang father and son changed.
Kang Jichuan knew that today’s matter had caused Qiao Xi to suffer, but Qingzhi had fainted. He could not ignore it!
Kang Ru, who was at the side, did not look too good. Gu Zheng’s words were clearly a threat. Actually, he knew that Gu Zheng’s words made sense, but he was still unwilling to lower his head and admit his mistake.
Doctor Hu and the butler looked at each other and saw speechlessness in each other’s eyes.
Young Master Kang and Master Kang both said that they wanted to be impartial and take an impartial approach. In reality, they were already unknowingly biased toward Miss Qingzhi. If Miss Xi Xi really returned to the Kang family, she would suffer many grievances in the future!
The atmosphere instantly became awkward. Kang Qingzhi pursed her lips, and her voice trembled slightly. “Sister Xi Xi, don’t blame Brother and Dad. It’s all my fault. I’ve let you down…”
Xue Yi raised her hand to signal her to shut up. “Miss Kang, stop talking. You’re making it sound as if our Xi Xi bullied you.”
Kang Qingzhi bit her lip aggrievedly. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she pretended to be strong and refused to cry.
“Alright.” Kang Ru waved his hand, then looked at Qiao Xi. His voice was gentle as he said, “Xi Xi, come in and take a seat first. Actually, your brother and I were waiting for you in the living room for a long time. It’s just that Qingzhi suddenly fell sick, so we didn’t welcome you. If it weren’t for the sudden situation, of course, we would’ve gone. Let’s forget about this matter. I won’t let you suffer in the future.”
Kang Ru had a noble status since he was young. It was always the people around him who curried favor with him. He felt that he was already full of sincerity by lowering his head to coax Qiao Xi.
Seeing the Kang father and son like this, the anger in Xue Yi’s heart surged. She was just about to go forward and argue when she was stopped by Qiao Xi. She looked at everyone with a smile. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Kang Qingzhi widened her eyes in surprise. Qiao Xi was actually not pursuing the matter anymore?
Seeing Qiao Xi give in like this, Kang Qingzhi was uneasy and had a bad feeling.
Just as Kang Ru was filled with joy and praising Qiao Xi for being tolerant, Qiao Xi suddenly smiled and said, “Dad, since Miss Kang has already lived in the Kang family for so many years, I naturally won’t chase her away. I won’t mind it even if Miss Kang hates me or doesn’t want to see me, but I have a condition.”
Qiao Xi gently touched the things in her bag. Kang Ru’s attention was suddenly attracted, and his eyes were filled with anticipation. “Xi Xi, feel free to tell me. I’ll agree to anything. Do you have the photos in your bag?”
