“Wait a minute.” Elder Kang called out to Xie Hui, who was about to leave. “Thank you for adopting Kang Die back then and raising her up. In the end, you even gave me such a cute granddaughter.”
“You’re welcome.” Xie Hui was at a loss. “Back then, my wife and I also didn’t have any children. When we met Kang Die, we thought that it was a blessing from God, so we took care of her.”
“You have a great favor for our Kang family,” Elder Kang said. “If you’re willing, I sincerely invite you to come and live with us.”
When Xin Xiu heard this, she hurriedly called out, “Dad!”
Xie Hui knew his identity. He didn’t fit in with these high-ranking officials and nobles at all. Not to mention coming to live with them, even if he said a few words to them, in the eyes of others, it would be a blessing that had been cultivated over several lifetimes.
He knew what he was capable of, hence, he did not agree to old master Kang’s suggestion. “Forget it. I’m just a poor person, and it’s not suitable for me to stand with you guys. I came today to be a witness. Being able to send Jiang Yu safely to your Kang family can be considered a wish of mine. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.”
He smiled and turned to leave.
Old Master Kang immediately said to the butler beside him, “Arrange a house for him in the capital. No matter what method you use, you must make him accept it.”
The butler replied, “Yes.”
However, just as the butler left, Jiang Hai ran over and grabbed his arm. he shouted, “Let me go in and see Old Master Kang!”
The butler’s face immediately turned cold. “Your family has made up so many lies, and you still want to see our master at this time? What wishful thinking!”
“I beg you, count it as I beg you!” Jiang Hai abandoned his previous dignity and humbly went to beg a butler. “Let me see Master Kang!”
Jiang Ran felt that Jiang Hai was a little embarrassed, so she walked over and tried to pull him back. “Dad, don’t do this…”
However, Jiang Hai couldn’t hear anything at the moment. He only wanted to see Old Master Kang. He flung Jiang Ran far away.
Jiang Ran staggered backward. If it weren’t for Wei Juan supporting her, she might have fallen.
Wei Juan yelled angrily, “Jiang Hai! Have you lost your mind? ! Ran Ran is your daughter, and your granddaughter is in her belly!”
Speaking of children, Sun You, who was smoking at the side, sneered. He threw half of the cigarette in his hand to the ground and put it out with his foot.
He walked to Jiang Ran and pinched her face with his hand. “Jiang Ran, abort the child.”
“What?” Jiang Ran looked at Sun You in horror. “This is our child, how can you let me hit him?”
“You are nothing now. Then why do you keep this child? Do you want to burden me?” Sun You looked at Jiang Ran with amusement. “Do you think I will marry a sparrow?”
“What sparrow? Sun You, what are you talking about?” Jiang Ran didn’t understand Sun You’s words. “We are already engaged and I am already pregnant. Don’t tell me you don’t want to keep this marriage?”
“So what if we’re engaged? So what if you’re pregnant?” Sun You laughed loudly, “The engagement is just a ceremony. We’re not married yet. Is there anything wrong with canceling it just like that? As for this child, as long as you abort it, then we’re even.”
“Even?” Jiang Ran never thought that the Sun You she had always trusted would actually look like this. “Sun You, how much do you owe me? Are you going to tell me that you’re even?”
“What do I owe you? Ever since we got together, haven’t you been spending my money? You’re only pregnant now, so you can just abort it, right?”
Sun You didn’t want to waste any more time here. “Jiang Ran, you’d better recognize your current identity. You’re not Kang Die’s daughter, not a member of the Kang family, so I won’t marry you. Do you understand?”
Jiang Ran was stunned, and tears flowed down from her eyes.
Sun You turned around and planned to drive away from this depressing place, but Jiang Ran grabbed him. “Sun You, do you want to leave alone?”
“Do I have to bring you along?” Sun You looked at her with a funny expression and gave her a hard push. “Stay with your parents. You’re a member of the Jiang family, not my Sun family.”
With that, Sun You drove away.
Wei Juan rushed forward to support Jiang Ran and comforted her, “Ran Ran, it’s okay. Mom and dad will always be with you.”
“What’s the use?!” Jiang Ran shouted at her, “Why did you come here? Didn’t we agree not to come?!”
