Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1459 He Has Already Made His Choice

Kang Qingzhi’s teeth chattered.

No! Qiao Xi would not recover her memory after being hypnotized!

Kang Ru held Xia Yunqiu’s photos with trembling hands and suddenly recalled Qiao Xi’s words just now. ‘Mom doted on me so much. She wouldn’t have let anyone occupy my identity, much less let me suffer. Dad, Brother, you can ignore me, but you have to respect Mom!’

Yunqiu was his wife! Xi Xi was his and Yunqiu’s only daughter. How could he not care about her? Moreover, Xi Xi had indeed given in. Her request was not too much. It was also a fact that Qingzhi was not Yunqiu’s daughter!

After thinking about it, Kang Ru nodded solemnly. “Alright! I agree. Xi Xi, I’ll announce to the public that Qingzhi isn’t Yunqiu’s daughter. You’re Yunqiu’s and my only daughter. You’re the eldest daughter of the Kang family!”

The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth curled into a smile as she subconsciously looked at Kang Qingzhi. She was indeed whimpering in pain, and her face was as pale as paper. She coughed violently and clutched her chest as if she was having difficulty breathing.

Kang Ru was shocked and hurriedly got Kang Jichuan and Doctor Hu to send her upstairs. Just as he was about to go upstairs, he suddenly realized that Qiao Xi was still there. He could only say, “Xi Xi, Qingzhi can’t be agitated due to her illness right now. If her illness flares up, her life will be in danger. I naturally won’t go back on my word. I’ll go upstairs to see Qingzhi first. I’ll get the butler to bring you to choose a room later. When Qingzhi’s condition stabilizes, I’ll come down to accompany you.”

Before Qiao Xi could speak, Xue Yi said unhurriedly, “Mr. Kang, let’s talk in private.”

As she spoke, Xue Yi walked to Kang Ru’s side and said in a low voice, “I grew up with Xi Xi. I know that she suffered a lot when she was young. Of course, with Mr. Kang’s power, you must have also checked Xi Xi’s information. To be honest, Xi Xi and your adopted daughter can’t get along. You can only choose one in the end. If you choose Kang Qingzhi, you’ll definitely regret it.”

Anger surged in Kang Ru’s heart as he berated loudly, “Miss Xue, what do you mean by this? Xi Xi and Qingzhi are both my daughters. Why can I only choose one? Xi Xi is the daughter of the Kang family. Why can’t she tolerate my adopted daughter?”

Xue Yi was not surprised to hear his words. She snorted. “That’s all I have to say. Mr. Kang, the choice lies in your hands.”

She originally thought that it was a good thing that Xi Xi had found her biological family. Kang Jichuan was unreliable, but fortunately, Kang Ru was around. As long as Kang Ru was on her side and sincerely loved Xi Xi, it was fine for Xi Xi to acknowledge him as her father.

Unexpectedly, Kang Ru did not care about Xue Yi’s earnest persuasion at all. In that case, there was no need for Xi Xi to acknowledge the Kang father and son.

Kang Ru thought highly of himself and hated being questioned the most. He hated what Xue Yi had just said even more. Qingzhi and Xi Xi were about the same age, and both of them had very gentle personalities. How could they not get along?

Xue Yi said casually, “Since you’ve already made your choice, Mr. Kang, go and see your adopted daughter.”

Although Kang Ru was dissatisfied with Xue Yi’s words, he thought that he had to maintain his gentle temper and not bicker with Xue Yi. Hence, he did not take Xue Yi’s words seriously and quickly went upstairs.

Xue Yi watched him leave in a hurry and shook her head helplessly. “Xi Xi, the Kang family is indeed unreliable.”

Qiao Xi’s eyes were calm as the corners of her mouth suddenly curled up. “When will Madam Wen Lai arrive?”

Xue Yi replied, “It should be soon. Kang Qing has already been internally confirmed as the champion of the International Perfume Competition. Everyone is praising her for being a rare genius. Of course, Madam Wen Lai will come to Li City to take a look, but she probably doesn’t know that I’m here too. Do you want me to call her?”

“There’s no need,” Qiao Xi said softly. “If we call, it’ll be too deliberate. We have to pretend to meet by chance. In the afternoon, Madam Wen Lai will be here. I really want to see the expressions on Kang Jichuan’s and Kang Qingzhi’s faces!”

At this moment, upstairs.

Kang Qingzhi was lying on the bed, her breathing weak. Her eyes were red. “Dad, I didn’t know that… my illness would suddenly flare up today. I’ve clearly… recovered! I’ve let you down. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have…”

Her tears drenched the blanket bit by bit. She was heartbroken. “I don’t hate Sister Xi Xi, nor did I scheme against her. Dad, Sister must have misunderstood me. Go look for Sister now. I don’t want Sister to hate me.”

Before Kang Ru could speak, Kang Jichuan hurriedly went forward and held her hand. He comforted her softly. “Qingzhi, don’t cry anymore. You can’t be blamed for this. Your health hasn’t been good since you were young. It’s normal for you to suddenly faint. What happened today was just a coincidence.”
