1454 He’s Just Unwilling
Kang Jichuan and Kang Ru were about to leave when they heard the servants exclaim behind them, “Eldest Miss!”
The two of them turned around and saw Kang Qingzhi falling weakly. Fortunately, the servants supported her in time. He was shocked and hurriedly rushed out to hug Kang Qingzhi. He shouted in panic, “Qingzhi!”
Kang Qingzhi leaned weakly in his arms. Her face and lips were pale. She looked as if she was going to die the next second.
Everyone was shocked by the sudden change. Kang Qingzhi fainted, and Kang Jichuan could not care less about Qiao Xi anymore. He hurriedly instructed someone to call a doctor.
Kang Ru, who was at the side, only had his mind on his biological daughter. He was about to go and welcome her when he realized that Kang Qingzhi was grabbing the corner of his shirt. Her eyes were tightly shut, and cold sweat seeped out of her forehead. She kept calling out for her father and brother. She grabbed the corner of Kang Ru’s shirt tightly, her slender fingers extremely pale.
Kang Ru frowned and wanted to pry Kang Qingzhi’s hand away, but he was afraid of hurting her. The atmosphere became awkward.
After a while, the family doctor rushed over with the medicine box. Kang Qingzhi was still unwilling to let go of Kang Jichuan and Kang Ru’s clothes.
The butler at the side reminded him softly, “Sir, Young Master… Miss Xi Xi is still waiting at the door.”
Kang Ru instantly came back to his senses. This was Xi Xi’s first visit, so he definitely had to go out to welcome her. If he could not even do that, Xi Xi would probably be unhappy.
However, Qingzhi…
Kang Ru tugged at the corner of his shirt, but Kang Qingzhi’s fingers were still tightly clenched. His daughter was sick, so he could not use too much strength. He could only instruct helplessly, “Butler, go pick Xi Xi up in my place. She’s so understanding. She’ll definitely understand me.”
“Uhh…” The butler looked troubled. How could he, a butler, replace the master of the house? Miss Xi Xi was willing to stay here to be with her biological father and brother. If the two masters did not welcome her the first time she came, it meant that they did not take Miss Xi Xi seriously. If news of this got out, what would others think of Miss Xi Xi?
For the sake of an adopted daughter, Mr. Kang did not welcome his biological daughter. This action would tell everyone that he did not care about his daughter. Miss Xi Xi was not favored and was not even comparable to an adopted daughter. The Kang family did not even take her seriously. Who would look up to Miss Xi Xi in the future?
It had been so many years, so why didn’t Mr. Kang understand the logic behind it? Miss Xia Yunqiu’s heart was broken time and again before she decided to leave!
Doctor Hu and the butler looked at each other helplessly.
Mr. Kang seemed to dote on Qiao Xi very much, but in reality, he did not have deep feelings for his biological daughter. After all, she had been wandering outside for 20 years. He was just unwilling to give up. He thought that he would have an obedient and cute daughter while he could be a good father, but that was not the case.
The butler sighed helplessly and went over to welcome Qiao Xi.
Doctor Hu took the stethoscope and examined Kang Qingzhi before replying, “Miss Kang’s body… is fine.”
Kang Jichuan frowned. “If there’s nothing wrong, why did she suddenly faint?”
Doctor Hu: “…”
He looked at the Kang father and son helplessly. Did he need to say this? If it were anyone else, they would be able to see the situation clearly. Only the father and son were unwilling to think in that direction.
Miss Kang was fine in the morning, but she only fainted when Master Kang and Young Master Kang were about to welcome Miss Qiao. Wasn’t this too much of a coincidence? Moreover, he had already diagnosed Miss Kang. There was clearly nothing wrong with her body.
Doctor Hu was unwilling to offend the Kang family, so he could only say tactfully, “Miss Kang’s illness didn’t flare up, but Miss Kang’s body is weak to begin with. It might be because she didn’t rest well or didn’t eat breakfast that she fainted due to low blood sugar. She’ll be fine after eating something and resting for a while.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Kang Qingzhi slowly opened her eyes. She held her temples weakly. “Dad, I… I’m so dizzy! I don’t know what happened just now, but I suddenly lost my strength. I might not have eaten in the morning, so my blood sugar is a little low. I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
Hearing this, Kang Ru and Kang Jichuan heaved a sigh of relief. “Qingzhi, you scared us to death. Your health isn’t good to begin with, so how could you not eat breakfast?! In the future, you have to eat and sleep on time every day.”
Kang Qingzhi looked at the two of them in a daze. “Dad, Brother, I remember that before I fainted, you said that you wanted to welcome Sister Xi Xi. Is she here?”
