1388 Give Him A Chance To Make Up For It
Kang Ru frowned, but he did not dare to disobey his mother. He only wanted to reunite with his daughter, so he could only nod. “We’ll do as you say. Qingzhi grew up by my side since she was young. I’ve already treated her as my biological daughter. I can’t disown her just because Xi Xi came back.”
Old Madam Kang’s expression softened a little. “It’s fine if you want to look for your daughter, but after she comes back, we’ll have to see if she’s worthy to be the daughter of the Kang family. If she’s not, the Kang family won’t be able to include her in the family register. She can stay at home as a relative for the time being until she has the right to be the daughter of the Kang family. Do you understand?”
Uncle Zhi, who was at the door, sighed helplessly. He had heard what Old Madam Kang said more than 20 years ago. At that time, Old Madam Kang said, “I can let her enter our house, but you two can’t marry yet. If she’s not worthy to be the wife of the Kang family, she can only stay at home as a lover. We’ll talk when she’s qualified to be the wife of the Kang family.”
At that time, Old Master Kang had also agreed. After Young Madam entered the family, she was obedient, kind, and had an extraordinary bearing. She was just like a daughter of a noble family. However, Old Madam Xia still did not agree to their marriage. In the end, Miss Xia Yunqiu really did not marry Master Kang.
Actually, even now, Uncle Zhi was not sure if Miss Xia Yunqiu really liked Master Kang. After all, if she did, why did she leave?
Old Madam Kang glanced at Kang Ru and frowned impatiently. “Bring her back as soon as possible. I want to see what that girl looks like.”
Kang Ru was extremely excited. He had never thought of what kind of situation he would face after bringing his daughter back.
On the other hand, Kang Jichuan knocked on his sister’s door. Kang Qingzhi was lying quietly on the bed. When she saw him enter, she lowered her eyes in disappointment. “Brother, did you… find her?”
Kang Jichuan looked at his obedient sister with a complicated expression. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
Back then, he had used hypnosis on Qiao Xi and Qingzhi at the same time. After all, Qingzhi was kind-hearted. If she found out that he did not hesitate to sacrifice his biological sister for the sake of saving her, Qingzhi would definitely be unable to accept it.
Kang Jichuan was silent for a long time before taking out a photo. “Qingzhi, this is her.”
Kang Qingzhi stared at the photo, and a trace of killing intent flashed past her eyes. It disappeared in an instant. She asked softly, “Are you and Dad going to look for her?”
Kang Jichuan’s voice was a little hoarse. “Yes, I’ll go tomorrow. Qingzhi, have you seen her?”
Kang Qingzhi’s round eyes were filled with confusion. She thought for a moment and shook her head. “I’ve never seen her. I haven’t gone out much all these years. How could I have seen her?”
Fortunately, she did not remember…
Since Qingzhi hadn’t recovered her memory, then Xi Xi shouldn’t have either. Even if she really came back, she wouldn’t remember those painful memories. He would treat his younger sister well. With him mediating the situation, Xi Xi and Qingzhi would definitely become good sisters.
Kang Jichuan’s suspended heart suddenly relaxed. He finally had the courage to face Qiao Xi. His mood suddenly became pleasant. Since the heavens were willing to give him this chance to make up for it, he would definitely not miss it.
All these years, he had always been troubled. From time to time, he would have nightmares about the scene of Xi Xi jumping off the cliff. Fortunately, Xi Xi was still alive. Otherwise, he would have to live in guilt for the rest of his life.
Kang Qingzhi suddenly clutched her chest with a painful expression.
Kang Jichuan immediately came back to his senses and looked at Kang Qingzhi worriedly.
Her palm-sized face was pale, and her slender eyebrows were furrowed tightly. She whimpered in pain a few times, and a trace of blood seeped out of the corner of her mouth. She lay on the bed and said weakly, “Brother…”
Kang Jichuan was stunned when he heard her call him ‘Brother’. He had long forgotten about Qiao Xi. At this moment, he only had the sickly girl in front of him in his heart. “Qingzhi, don’t be afraid. I’ll call the doctor over now!”
“Forget it, Brother. Don’t go. I know my own body… I know that it’s useless even if the doctor comes. Just stay here and accompany me.”
Kang Qingzhi smiled weakly. “If Dad hadn’t adopted me back then, I might have died a long time ago. I’m already very happy to have been by your side for so many years. I’ll cherish every day from now on. Brother, don’t be sad for me. You have to live happily in the future.”
Kang Jichuan’s eyes were filled with tears. “How can I be happy without you by my side? Don’t worry, you’ll be fine. I’ll call the doctor now!”
With that, Kang Jichuan rushed out. Kang Qingzhi looked at his back view, and her gaze gradually turned cold. She smiled proudly. She was like a different person compared to her weak appearance just now.
