1393 A Guest Who Came Rashly
Qiao Xi suddenly thought of something. “Previously, Yao Junjie agreed to give Yao Mengqing’s shares to me. I kept having the feeling that something wasn’t right. Although Yao Junjie isn’t on good terms with the rest of the Yao family, they’re related by blood, after all. There’s no need for him to exterminate them, right?”
Half a year had passed since the incident with the Yao family, but Qiao Xi still could not figure it out. Now that the Kang family had appeared and the two families were still in contact, Qiao Xi could not help but think too much.
Gu Zheng’s voice was calm. “Don’t think too much. I’ll handle everything.”
Qiao Xi felt slightly more at ease and leaned comfortably in Gu Zheng’s embrace.
Half an hour later, the butler’s hurried footsteps sounded. “Young Madam, a guest wants to see you.”
Qiao Xi slowly opened her eyes. As expected, this guest was Kang Ru. After all, he was a noble of Y Nation. It was not difficult for him to find Gu Zheng’s residence. Kang Ru came faster than she had imagined.
“I’ll go downstairs immediately. Arrange for guests to come in first,” Qiao Xi instructed.
Before her memory recovered, she definitely did not want to have anything to do with the Kang family. However, she had already recovered some of her memories. She knew that Kang Jichuan had taken her blood, so she naturally could not let this go.
Previously, Third Brother had reminded her that using her blood to treat illnesses would cause harm to her body. That was why when she wanted to give Gu Zheng her blood, Third Brother firmly refused. However, in those few months, Kang Jichuan had given Kang Qingzhi almost all her blood.
How could she take this lying down without taking revenge?
Qiao Xi’s eyes turned cold as the corners of her mouth curled into a mocking smile. She stood up and stretched before returning to the bedroom to change.
In the living room on the first floor, Kang Ru was pacing anxiously. He had come straight to Longwan Residential after getting off the plane. At first, the butler did not let him in, but when he heard that he was here to look for Xi Xi, he let him in.
Kang Ru was agitated but uneasy. Song Shiyu saw this and muttered in a low voice, “Mr. Kang is too anxious. He didn’t even call before coming. Don’t you think it’s rude?”
Song Shijing glanced at Kang Ru and said seriously, “Don’t spout nonsense.”
“I’m just worried about Uncle Sheng. If this person angers Young Madam, the president will definitely not let Uncle Sheng off for letting him in. He’s already so old, so he won’t be able to take it!”
Speaking of which, Mr. Kang was already in his 40s or 50s and was even an earl of Y Nation. Why did he look so rash?
At first, Uncle Sheng did not let him in because he hadn’t revealed his identity. He was in a rush to barge in. Uncle Sheng was the butler of Longwan Residential, so he naturally would not let him in. However, Kang Ru looked unhappy and said that he was here to look for his daughter. He ordered Uncle Sheng to move aside immediately.
Song Shiyu could not understand. Who did he think he was? He was an earl in Y Nation, but did everyone have to give in to him in Li City? Even if he had a noble status, he could not barge into private property! What was wrong with Uncle Sheng stopping him?
When he saw that scene, Song Shiyu wondered if this person was really a noble. Why did his words and actions look so childish? He did not look like a noble at all.
Kang Ru was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat. Finally, footsteps came from the stairs.
He hurriedly looked up, his eyes filled with joy and excitement. “Xi Xi!”
Qiao Xi lowered her eyes to look at him with a cold gaze.
The moment Kang Ru saw Qiao Xi, his eyes instantly lit up. He was extremely sure that Qiao Xi was his and Yunqiu’s daughter. Her aura was exactly the same as Yunqiu’s, especially her eyes. When she looked at him, they were cold and carried a trace of alienation.
Back then, he fell in love with Yunqiu at first sight because of her charming eyes.
Kang Ru said anxiously, “Xi Xi, I’ve been looking for you for so many years. I’ve finally seen you!”
From the beginning until the end, Qiao Xi had always been cold. She elegantly walked to the living room while Kang Ru followed her and chattered in her ear. “Xi Xi, your mother must have told you that I’m your father!”
The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth curled up.
Kang Ru was so excited that he could not speak properly. “Xi Xi, I… My surname is Kang. I’m a noble in Y Nation. Prepare yourself immediately. We’ll return to Y Nation as soon as possible. I’ll make sure to make it up to you.”
Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment. Kang Ru was different from what she had imagined, but she had seen Kang Ru’s information. He had been a high and mighty noble since he was born, so he innately had the arrogance to override others. He felt that others would agree with what he thought. If he wanted to do something, others had to do it according to his wishes. He would never think that others would possibly refuse.
