1383 One Can Never Know One’s Heart
Song Shijing found it strange. “If Madam Xia Yunqiu is Kang Ru’s wife, why didn’t the Yin family mention it? In that case, Young Madam… should be Madam Xia’s biological daughter, which means she might be Kang Ru’s daughter.”
Song Shijing’s heart trembled. He suddenly remembered that when they left the villa in Y Nation, Kang Jichuan and Kang Ru seemed to have seen Young Madam. They chased after the car, but Young Madam ignored them.
Did Kang Ru and Kang Jichuan already recognize Young Madam?
Gu Zheng leaned against the chair, his eyes narrowing as he called out in a low voice, “Kang Jichuan is even more hypocritical than He Weinian.”
He had clearly already taken Xi Xi’s blood, but he still insisted on entering seclusion every year to pray for blessings and find people to exorcise her soul. Since he was so reluctant and guilty, why did he have to be so ruthless back then?
In order to save Kang Qingzhi, he had to sacrifice Xi Xi? What right did he have to decide the life and value of others?
The only thing that puzzled Gu Zheng now was that with Xi Xi’s character, even if she trusted Kang Jichuan very much, she would not have taken the initiative to reveal her secret. In that case, how did Kang Jichuan know about it? Moreover, someone happened to be in need of Qiao Xi’s blood to save their life, so Kang Jichuan discovered this secret and took Xi Xi’s blood.
This might not be a coincidence but a carefully planned scheme.
When they left the villa, Gu Zheng carefully observed that Kang Ru and Kang Jichuan were excited to see Xi Xi, especially Kang Ru. He was so excited that tears were about to fall. He probably wasn’t pretending to be sincere.
In that case, Kang Ru might not know about that matter. As for Kang Jichuan…
Gu Zheng’s eyes suddenly turned cold. He would take revenge for how Kang Jichuan had hurt Xi Xi back then. A person who could be so vicious to his own sister was not worthy of his sympathy.
If Xi Xi had not been lucky back then, it was very likely that she would have disappeared into the vast sea a long time ago. Kang Jichuan and Kang Qingzhi, who caused all of this, were still alive and well in this world. How were they worthy of the word ‘kind’?!
One could never judge a book by its cover. Some people looked bright and beautiful on the surface, but they were ugly and dirty on the inside. He Weinian was such a person, and so was Kang Jichuan.
Song Shijing asked tentatively, “President, should I send someone to keep an eye on the Kang family?”
“There’s no need.” Gu Zheng suddenly smiled.
With Xi Xi’s character, she would probably have sent someone over a long time ago, so there was no need for him to do anything unnecessary.
At this moment, Qiao Xi’s body had curled up into a ball as she lay on the bed in the posture of a baby. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and a layer of sweat had seeped out of her delicate skin.
In the past, she thought that she did not like the sea because Qiao Rou pushed her into the swimming pool when she was young. The suffocating feeling made her afraid of the water, so she was afraid of the sea. However, she always dreamed of jumping into the sea later on, and the dark blue seawater was dyed red. Only then did she realize that things were not that simple.
At that time, she had lost a portion of her memory. She could not be sure if it was just a dream or if it really existed. It was not until she saw Kang Jichuan that all the mysteries were solved.
After her blood was taken, she received a blood transfusion and was saved from death. However, she was still very weak. The bodyguards probably did not expect her to still have the strength to escape, so they gave her a chance to escape from the ward.
She hurriedly sent a message to her eldest and second brothers. Just as she was waiting for her brothers to pick her up, she was noticed. She knew that Kang Jichuan would not let her off, so she could only keep running forward. Behind her, she heard the roar of a car and messy footsteps. Below the cliff, a patch of blue seawater was surging against the shore, waves splashing up like the bloody mouth of a whale. She suddenly stopped in her tracks and was in a dilemma.
Kang Jichuan walked out of the crowd. He still looked like the elegant young master she had first seen, but his eyes were filled with reluctance and guilt. His gentle voice trembled slightly. “Xi Xi, don’t be rash.”
She kept retreating and looked at the man in front of her in disappointment.
The heartache in Kang Jichuan’s eyes was really too mocking. He said extremely gently, “Xi Xi, I’ve let you down, but I know that you’re the apprentice of the divine physician and are deeply doted on by him. Moreover, you have a few seniors who treat you extremely well. You’re leading a very happy life, but Qingzhi…
“Qingzhi is just your shadow. She’s the daughter my father adopted because he missed you and my mother too much. She exists because of you. If you return to the Kang family, what will she do? She’s already very pitiful. I can’t…”
