1439 Guests Are Here
The car slowly drove into Longwan Residential. Gu Zheng reminded her again, “Don’t remove the bandage yet. It’s still useful.”
Qiao Xi was slightly curious. “You’ve already said it twice. What exactly are you planning on doing?”
“You’ll understand in a while.” Gu Zheng tapped her forehead lightly and smiled mysteriously.
Longwan Residential was located at the intersection between the suburbs and the city. It was a famous wealthy district in Li City. Few outsiders usually came, so it was very quiet. A garden was built around the villa. After entering the villa, the first thing one saw was a luxurious fountain.
After Qiao Xi entered, she could not help but sigh. “As expected of the richest man in Li City! This villa is really luxurious!”
Gu Zheng glanced at her and chuckled. “You only realized it after staying here for a year? If you think it’s too extravagant, you can change it according to your preferences.”
“That’s not necessary. Are there guests at home today? Is that why you specially asked me to pretend to be pitiful?” Qiao Xi thought carefully and felt that someone might have come to Longwan Residential.
Gu Zheng pinched her cheek. “You’re right. Mr. Kang is here again. He even brought… his son and adopted daughter.”
Qiao Xi’s eyes instantly turned cold. “Kang Jichuan is here!”
She knew that Kang Jichuan would visit sooner or later. After all, Kang Ru had not achieved his goal and would definitely have his son persuade her. However, she did not expect Kang Qingzhi to come too.
Didn’t Kang Qingzhi know that she was seriously ill? Why did she come all the way to Li City? Did she want to die?
Qiao Xi thought for a moment and said firmly, “Kang Qingzhi knows that she’s seriously ill, yet she appeared here. Kang Jichuan must want to use me to save Kang Qingzhi again.
“I’ll go see what this stupid pair of father and cunning brother want!”
In the living room of Longwan Residential.
Uncle Sheng brought over two pots of hot tea and some pastries. Kang Qingzhi leaned weakly against Kang Jichuan, while Kang Ru looked out anxiously. “It’s been so long, but Xi Xi isn’t back yet!”
Kang Jichuan had long heard about He Wenxian, but he could not use his cell phone on the plane. After getting off the plane, he rushed to Longwan Residential, so he did not know what was happening at the venue.
At this moment, he wondered if Xi Xi had lied again. Did she steal He Wenxian’s identity and was too embarrassed to see them after being exposed in public?
After waiting for so long and still not seeing anyone, Kang Jichuan was a little impatient. Although Qingzhi and Xi Xi were both his younger sisters, their personalities were vastly different. Qingzhi was obedient, sensible, and understanding. Her health was clearly not good, yet she still forced herself to accompany them and wait for Qiao Xi.
This was unfair to Qingzhi. She was originally the eldest daughter of the Kang family, but now, she had to accompany her father and brother to pick up another young miss. When she found out that she was about to be replaced, she even had to drag her seriously ill body over and wait here. Qiao Xi clearly knew that they were here, but she did not appear for a long time and deliberately ignored them.
The difference between the two of them was obvious.
“Cough, cough…” Suddenly, Kang Qingzhi covered her mouth and coughed in pain.
Kang Ru’s and Kang Jichuan’s expressions changed instantly as they looked at her nervously.
“Qingzhi! Qingzhi, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need us to call the doctor?” Kang Jichuan panicked as if he was going to rush out with Kang Qingzhi in his arms the next second.
Kang Qingzhi leaned against Kang Jichuan’s shoulder and said weakly, “Brother… I’m fine. We still have to wait for Sister! I… I can still hold on.”
Hearing her words, Kang Jichuan’s heart ached even more. He frowned and asked Uncle Sheng, “Quickly call Xi Xi and ask her to come back quickly. We’ve been waiting for so long!”
Uncle Sheng was also unhappy, but these were Young Madam’s guests, after all. He could only answer as the butler, “Mr. Kang, Young Madam went to the cultural relic restoration exchange this morning. It’s not convenient for me to disturb her, but I’ve already told the president about this. Our president has gone to the venue to pick Young Madam up. They’re already on their way back. Mr. Kang, please calm down.”
“Qingzhi can’t take it anymore.” Kang Jichuan was a little helpless.
“Brother, it’s okay.” Kang Qingzhi’s face was as pale as paper, but she still revealed a smile. “We’re here to bring Sister back. Sister is our top priority. Cough, cough… Cough, cough. If Sister comes back and Brother and I leave, Sister will be unhappy. I’ll definitely feel guilty.”
Kang Ru and Kang Jichuan looked at her with eyes that were filled with guilt. Kang Ru only glanced at her. After all, in his heart, his biological daughter was still the most important. Of course, Qiao Xi was the most important person in his heart. Meanwhile, Kang Jichuan had complicated feelings. He already had such an obedient sister like Qingzhi. No matter how good Xi Xi was, she could not replace Qingzhi’s status in his heart.
