Killing People

"You're my biological father and brother, but you're all speaking up for the family's adopted daughter. I'm just an outsider in your eyes. I came home happily to accompany you, but I saw this scene instead. I'm unhappy about it, and Young Master Kang is criticizing me for it. Don't I have the right to be unhappy?"2

Qiao Xi sneered. "Moreover, even if I am unhappy, it's not like I'm forcing Miss Kang to give up her room. I've already accepted her arrangements for me. However, Young Master Kang still thinks that I'm being petty with Miss Kang. Since Young Master Kang can't tolerate me, then I don't have to stay in the Kang family anymore."

Kang Qingzhi and Kang Jichuan gasped.

Kang Ru instantly panicked. "Xi Xi, don't go! Your brother… didn't mean that. He said something wrong."

"Mr. Kang, Young Master Kang." Gu Zheng looked over with cold eyes. "Why don't you think about it from Xi Xi's perspective? Miss Kang has been living with the Kang family in Xi Xi's place for more than ten years. All these years, she has enjoyed wealth, splendor, and endless love. Now that Xi Xi is back, she has never thought of bickering with her and has also made concessions. But you're still dissatisfied, so what exactly should Xi Xi do?"

Gu Zheng's voice was filled with coldness. "Does Xi Xi have to happily accept all your arrangements regardless of what they are before you're satisfied? On the surface, she's the daughter of the Kang family, but she's actually an outsider. Are you looking for your family member, or are you looking for a puppet who won't resist?

"Miss Kang." Gu Zheng's gaze was cold, and his voice was low. "You're so young, but you're really good at playing tricks. You're truly vicious and ruthless."

Kang Qingzhi met Gu Zheng's cold gaze and was so scared that cold sweat broke out on her back. She even felt that Gu Zheng would break her neck in the next second.

Kang Jichuan's heart skipped a beat, and he could not help but fall into deep thought. He still remembered that Qingzhi had always cried to him in the past, saying that Xi Xi had bullied her and Xi Xi could not tolerate her, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.

From Xi Xi's perspective, they were indeed biased toward Qingzhi and made her sad. However, Qingzhi had accompanied them for more than ten years, after all. There was nothing wrong with them doting on her!

However… Xi Xi was his father's biological daughter. She would naturally be aggrieved staying in a guest room.

When he thought about this, a trace of guilt suddenly arose in Kang Jichuan's heart. He was thinking about how to win Qiao Xi back.

At this moment, the butler's voice suddenly came from the door. "Sir, there's Madam Wen Lai here to visit. Do you want to invite her in?"

The surroundings instantly fell silent as the corners of Qiao Xi's mouth curled up imperceptibly.

Kang Qingzhi looked as though she had been pardoned and met her savior. She hurriedly said, "Dad, Madam Wen Lai must be here to look for me."

"Wen Lai?" Kang Ru thought for a moment and instantly remembered. "She's the founder of Planet Music Festival. At the same time, she's also an extremely talented perfumer. I heard that many nobles in Y Nation have invited her to make perfumes."

Kang Qingzhi nodded with an extremely bright smile. "Yes, Madam Wen Lai said that if I can win the award this time, she'll introduce me to those nobles."

In an instant, Kang Ru forgot about what had just happened and looked at Kang Qingzhi with gratification. "Qingzhi! I really didn't expect you to know Madam Wen Lai. You're really my good daughter! Quickly invite Madam Wen Lai in!"

Kang Qingzhi glanced at Qiao Xi worriedly. "But Sister Xi Xi…"

Kang Ru suddenly reacted and thought for a moment before saying, "Xi Xi, it's my fault for not taking your feelings into consideration. However, Qingzhi has already moved into that room. I can't chase her out. I remember that there's an empty room on the second floor. I'll get the servants to clean it out later. You can stay there first and redecorate it when you have time."

Qiao Xi slowly raised her eyes and met Kang Qingzhi's scheming eyes that were filled with ridicule. The corners of her mouth curled up.

Wasn't it too early for Miss Kang to be happy? Madam Wen Lai was already here. She might cry soon!

Qiao Xi knew very well that the Kang father and son would not let Kang Qingzhi move out. Even if Kang Ru agreed on an impulse, Kang Qingzhi would faint on the spot. At that time, the father and son would soften their hearts and go back on their word.

As for Kang Ru saying that she would be arranged to stay in an empty room on the second floor, it was even more laughable. She had already asked the butler just now. There were only three bedrooms on the second floor. The remaining room was probably a storeroom. It would not be very big. Wasn't it too perfunctory to make the storeroom into a bedroom?
