Kang Jichuan frowned, but he was worried that Qiao Xi would suddenly recall what had happened back then. Although it was unlikely, if she recovered her memory, would he and Qingzhi still have a good life?
Moreover, once Qiao Xi returned to the Kang family, what would Qingzhi do?
Back then, his mother was already pregnant when she left. The doctor found out that the child was a healthy baby girl. His father had been looking forward to his daughter's birth, but unfortunately, he did not see her in the end. He really missed the mother and daughter, so he adopted Kang Qingzhi.
Although everyone doted on Qingzhi very much all these years, she was just an adopted daughter, after all. If Xi Xi returned, how could Qingzhi have a place in this family?
Kang Jichuan's emotions were complicated, and he found it difficult to make a decision.
At this moment, Kang Ru suddenly thought of something and reminded him, "Jichuan, you have to tell Qingzhi about this. She's still the daughter of the Kang family, but Xi Xi is my biological daughter. No one's status can surpass her."
"Yes." Kang Jichuan nodded, but the corners of his mouth were filled with bitterness.
Kang Ru's eyes were glowing. He had not been so happy in a long time. His voice was filled with joy. "There's no need for a paternity test at all. I can confirm that she's my daughter. Her temperament is exactly the same as Yunqiu's, especially when she wears that necklace and cheongsam. It's as if Yunqiu is standing in front of me! She's the angel sent by God to save me. I have to keep her by my side. I have to give her the best things in the world to make up for all the regrets I've had all these years!"
Kang Jichuan's throat tightened.
Not only was she not dead, but she could even appear here again. This was probably fate!
Moreover, his father had already given his word. Even if Qiao Xi came back, Qingzhi could continue to stay with the Kang family. As long as it did not affect Qingzhi, he would not stop Xi Xi from coming back. Moreover, he would try his best to make up for his mistake.
Kang Ru walked out of the study excitedly and went to the bedroom to pack her luggage.
Kang Jichuan stood where he was and was stunned for a long time. Then, he looked up at the butler and instructed, "My father and I are going to Li City. Qingzhi's health isn't good, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of her. Y Nation's climate is cold, and Qingzhi's body can't adapt to it. I'll go to Li City to see if there's a suitable house. I'll bring Qingzhi over to stay for a while if I find one."
Uncle Zhi replied and watched Kang Jichuan leave with a frown.
He had been in this family for decades and knew the family members very well. Kang Ru had always been frank, sincere, and valued relationships. Hence, when he saw that girl, he could confirm that she was the child Madam had left outside. However, Young Master was different. He was gentle, delicate, and thoughtful. He would definitely send someone to investigate the girl's identity immediately, afraid that she was a spy sent by someone with ulterior motives. No matter what, he had to do a paternity test first.
However, Young Master did not seem to have any doubts this time. It was as if he had already confirmed that the girl was his younger sister, so he found it a little strange.
Even if they really found Eldest Miss, could this family really be reunited?
The servants who had been in the Kang family for decades all knew that Kang Qingzhi was the adopted daughter of the Kang family and the substitute for the eldest miss. However, love would develop over time. After so many years, Kang Ru, Kang Jichuan, and Old Madam Kang had already doted on her as the real daughter of the Kang family.
How could Miss Kang be happy that the real eldest miss was back? If the two ladies were like fire and water, who would the old master and the young Master help?
Not long after, Old Madam Kang suddenly rushed over. There was no joy on her face at all. Instead, she looked a little disdainful. "You haven't done a paternity test yet, yet you're so sure that she's your daughter? Xia Yunqiu has been gone for so many years. Who knows if she had another man outside?!"
Kang Ru widened his eyes and retorted with a red face, "Mom! Yunqiu wouldn't do that. That girl must be my daughter!"
Old Madam Kang glanced at him as if she expected better from him. "Even if she's your biological daughter, did you consider Qingzhi's feelings when you decided to bring her back in such a hurry?"
The surroundings suddenly fell silent. Kang Ru said helplessly, "Qingzhi is still the daughter of the Kang family. This won't change."
Old Madam Kang snorted. "Let me tell you, I don't care if she comes back or not, but nothing can happen to Qingzhi. She won't give her room to that woman, nor will she lose her pocket money. Her engagement can't be changed either. Her status in the Kang family can't change at all. She's still the eldest daughter of the Kang family. After that woman acknowledges her ancestors, she'll be the second daughter of the Kang family."
