1453 Belated Affection Is Worthless
Kang Jichuan was silent as he recalled what had happened five years ago. At that time, because of what Xi Xi said, he once suspected Qingzhi. Later on, he realized that he had wrongly accused Qingzhi.
Qingzhi was so obedient and sensible. How could she steal Xi Xi’s things? Moreover, he had seen Qingzhi write those perfume recipes with his own eyes.
Kang Jichuan’s guilt toward Qiao Xi dissipated a little. He looked at Kang Qingzhi gently. “Qingzhi, you’re really outstanding. Dad and I are proud of you.”
Kang Qingzhi smiled sweetly. Their family of three was so happy! As long as Qiao Xi did not come back, they would always be so harmonious and happy!!!
Ring, ring, ring…
Kang Ru’s phone suddenly rang. As a noble in Y Nation, he had power and influence. There were many people who wanted to contact him, so most of the calls were answered by his assistant. The only people who knew his private number were his relatives and friends.
Kang Qingzhi’s expression froze for a moment as if she had guessed who the caller was.
When Kang Ru saw the caller ID, he shouted in surprise, “It’s Xi Xi!”
He hurriedly picked up the call, and Qiao Xi’s cold voice came from the phone. “Dad, I’m free recently and want to stay with you for a while. Is it a convenient time?”
Kang Ru had always hoped that Qiao Xi could come home to stay with them. Now that Qiao Xi had finally agreed, he was extremely excited and hurriedly replied, “Of course, it’s convenient! This is your home. You can come back to stay anytime!”
Qiao Xi’s voice softened a little. “I remember you saying that you miss Mom very much. Coincidentally, I found a few photos and her diary among her belongings recently. If you want to see them, I’ll bring them over to you.”
Kang Ru’s heart suddenly ached.
Yunqiu’s photos and diary…
All these years, he had not spent a moment not missing Yunqiu. At the thought of seeing Yunqiu’s photos and diary, his tone became even more excited, and his breathing became hurried. “Alright! Alright! Bring them over! When you’re done packing, I’ll get a chauffeur to pick you up!”
“That’s alright, Dad. Send me the address. I’ll be there in a while.”
After hanging up, Qiao Xi’s eyes were slightly cold. If she did not know that her mother had taken the initiative to leave Kang Ru, she would have been moved by Kang Ru’s deep love.
However, belated affection was worthless. Kang Ru might have her mother and her in his heart, but he would never be a good husband and father!
Qiao Xi raised her eyes to look at Gu Zheng. “I think I can give Mr. Kang a chance. If he’s willing to choose me, I can spare Kang Jichuan and Kang Qingzhi’s lives on his account.”
Gu Zheng’s eyes contained a trace of coldness, but his voice was extremely gentle. “Xi Xi, you don’t have to worry about others if you want to do something. I’ll help you get whatever you want.”
The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth curled up. “I want Kang Qingzhi’s life.”
“Alright,” Gu Zheng agreed without hesitation.
“Ah Zheng, don’t you think I’m vicious?” Qiao Xi sat on the sofa and supported her chin as she looked at him. Her beautiful eyes moved. “Although Kang Qingzhi almost killed me, I survived, after all. Isn’t it a little cruel for me to kill her?”
Gu Zheng’s eyes were filled with affection. “Xi Xi, you’re very kind. If it were me, I’d definitely make her wish she was dead. There are few brothers in this world who are as heartless as Kang Jichuan. If someone almost caused Gu Yao’s death, what do you think I’ll do? Or if someone harms Ye Qingyuan’s younger brother, what will Ye Qingyuan do? We won’t tolerate our family being bullied!”
Qiao Xi sighed. “That’s right! Kang Jichuan is really a failure as a brother! Since he’s heartless to me, why should I care about him?”
Although the evidence Xue Yi sent her was not enough to take down Kang Jichuan, it was enough to trouble him. In order to let his sister win the competition, he secretly manipulated things and bribed the judges. The dignified earl of Y Nation was really embarrassing!
Qiao Xi stood up and stretched. “It’s about time. Let’s go to the Kang family’s villa.”
…
An hour later, the car slowly stopped at the entrance of the Kang family’s villa. Before Qiao Xi could get out of the car, Kang Ru was about to welcome her. “Xi Xi is here! Jichuan, let’s go welcome Xi Xi!”
Kang Jichuan subconsciously glanced at Kang Qingzhi. Her face was pale, and she forced a smile with a complicated expression. “Brother, go quickly. Don’t worry about me. My health isn’t good, so I won’t go out. Sister Xi Xi won’t be angry with me, right?”
“Of course, Xi Xi won’t be angry. Wait here. I’ll be right back. Don’t move.”
Kang Jichuan reminded her a few times, but he could not help but frown. Recently, he had been feeling that something was wrong. Kang Qingzhi’s expression was clearly normal, but she was always sickly.
