1456 How Can There Be So Many Coincidences In The World?
“If you don’t welcome Xi Xi to stay here, feel free to tell me. She has a group of people who treat her as a treasure. She doesn’t lack one or two relatives.
“I said that it’s fine for Xi Xi to return to the Kang family, but I can’t let Xi Xi suffer. Since you care more about your adopted daughter, there’s no need for Xi Xi to stay. We’ll leave now.”
As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, he held Qiao Xi’s hand and prepared to leave.
When Kang Ru heard this, he instantly panicked. He shook off Kang Qingzhi’s hand and hurriedly rushed over to shout, “Don’t go! Xi Xi, you’re my biological daughter. Of course, I care about you!!!
“Xi Xi, I’m your biological father. This is your home. You can come back and stay here anytime!”
Gu Zheng sneered. “Today is Xi Xi’s first day home. Mr. Kang, you only sent a butler to welcome her, while you and Young Master Kang were accompanying the Kang family’s adopted daughter in the main residence. Do you know what impact this will have on Xi Xi?”
Kang Ru was so anxious that he was sweating. “What impact?”
Gu Zheng’s eyes were calm, but his voice carried a trace of mockery. “Mr. Kang, you might not understand, but Young Master Kang often discusses business outside. You should understand the logic behind this.”
Kang Ru immediately looked at Kang Jichuan. He lowered his head and pursed his lips. “I don’t understand.”
“You don’t understand?” Gu Zheng curled his lips. “Since Mr. Kang and Young Master Kang don’t understand, let me tell you. The Kang family’s actions are clearly telling everyone that Xi Xi, the daughter of the Kang family, isn’t favored. Even if she returns to the Kang family, she’ll forever be inferior to the family’s adopted daughter. If even Mr. Kang doesn’t care about his daughter, who will take her seriously in the future?
“Not only will Mr. Kang make Xi Xi sad, but he’ll also make Xi Xi become a laughing stock. Is there a need for Xi Xi to come back to such a home?”
Gu Zheng had always been a man of few words. When he said these words, his voice was very calm, but his eyes were filled with coldness. Kang Ru’s face was filled with embarrassment and panic when he heard this. He lowered his head guiltily. “Xi Xi, I… I really care about you, but Qingzhi…”
“How’s Miss Kang’s health?” Gu Zheng looked at Doctor Hu.
Doctor Hu replied uneasily, “It’s nothing serious. She just didn’t rest well. She… has low blood sugar.”
Actually, in Doctor Hu’s opinion, there was nothing wrong with Kang Qingzhi’s body at this moment. There was no reason to faint. However, he could not say such things. If he offended Miss Kang, he would definitely suffer.
“Heh.” Gu Zheng’s voice was filled with ridicule. “In that case, Miss Kang’s body is fine, but she fainted just as Xi Xi was about to enter.”
“Oh! I understand.” Xue Yi suddenly took a few steps forward and looked at Kang Qingzhi with a cold gaze. “Miss Kang deliberately fainted when Xi Xi returned home and made Xi Xi’s two family members not welcome Xi Xi because of her. Then, she cried and pretended to be pitiful so as to not let Xi Xi enter the main residence.
“Xi Xi just wants to go home and see her father and brother, but she has to walk on eggshells because of the family’s adopted daughter. It’s only Xi Xi’s first day here, yet she encountered such a thing. If she continues to stay here, I don’t know how much she’ll suffer!
“Miss Kang, you’re really capable! This move can stabilize your status and make the real daughter of the Kang family lose all her dignity. It’s killing two birds with one stone!”
Kang Jichuan said unhappily, “Miss Xue, please don’t spout nonsense! Qingzhi has been weak and sick since she was young. She’s bedridden all year round and doesn’t understand the deception of high society at all. Her fainting this time was just a coincidence. She doesn’t want to affect Xi Xi.”
Xue Yi was so angry that she laughed. “Miss Kang doesn’t understand, but don’t you understand, Young Master Kang? If Miss Kang fainted, you should call the doctor. You’re not a doctor. What’s the point of staying by her side? You’re willing to let your biological sister suffer for your adopted sister. You don’t treat Xi Xi as your family at all. What right do you have to ask her to come home?”
She glared coldly at Kang Qingzhi and smirked. “Moreover, do you really not understand? How can there be so many coincidences in the world? Two days ago, Miss Kang’s illness acted up in Longwan Residential and it caused Xi Xi to suffer. Now, Miss Kang’s illness acted up again when Xi Xi came to visit. Miss Kang, you’re quite good at choosing timings! You can suppress the Kang family’s real daughter every time. You’re really ruthless.”
Kang Qingzhi bit her lip and lowered her head aggrievedly.
Kang Ru, who was at the side, also understood what Gu Zheng and Xue Yi meant and could not help but frown.
Could it be that doing this had really made Xi Xi suffer? Would the people of high society think that Xi Xi was not valued and laugh at her?
At that time, he did not think too much about it. He only thought that since Qingzhi had fainted, he could get the butler to welcome Xi Xi in his place. After Qingzhi woke up, she could not be agitated, so he temporarily agreed to have Xi Xi go to the backyard. When Qingzhi’s emotions stabilized, he would let Xi Xi return to the main residence.
