In Kang Ru's point of view, once someone rejected him, he would feel that that person did not respect him and might even betray him.
Qiao Xi was originally uncertain if Kang Ru knew about what had happened back then. Now that she had seen him in person, Qiao Xi was sure that he definitely did not know. It was difficult for someone with such a character to hide their inner thoughts. If he knew, he would have definitely said something along the lines of, 'Xi Xi, your brother already knows his mistake. Let's forget about the past.'
After a moment of silence, Qiao Xi said softly, "Mr. Kang, this is the first time I've seen you. You're saying that you're my father the moment we met. Why don't we do a paternity test first?"
Kang Ru stood on the spot, seemingly a little stunned. Then, his eyes were filled with sorrow. "Xi Xi, I'm sure you're my daughter. We don't have to do a paternity test."
"Since you're so sure, so be it. But I've lived in Li City since I was young. I won't go to Y Nation."
"What? Xi Xi, you're not coming back to Y Nation?" Kang Ru was shocked.
Why did she want to stay in Li City? Couldn't she just go home with him and enjoy life?
Kang Ru was extremely excited before he came. He never expected that Qiao Xi would refuse him. At this moment, it was as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him as he stared blankly at Qiao Xi.
"Mr. Kang, I'm sorry, but I really can't go with you."
The corners of Kang Ru's mouth twitched, and he did not know what to say for a moment. He was Qiao Xi's biological father. He had come all the way to Li City to bring her home. Why was she refusing?
Just because Qiao Xi had rejected him, Kang Ru felt that the entire world was about to collapse.
Kang Ru seemed to be a little impatient. "Xi Xi, I'm your father. Our home is in Y Nation. I'm here to bring you home. As long as you come back with me, I'll fulfill your wishes."
Qiao Xi glanced indifferently at Kang Ru. The information was right. Kang Ru was a decisive person who did not consider the thoughts of others. It was even to the extent that he was a little childish. She did not think that her mother would like such a man.
However, Kang Ru said that she could fulfill her wishes. What if she wanted Kang Jichuan and Kang Qingzhi's lives?
Qiao Xi sneered in her heart, then replied indifferently, "Mr. Kang, I've lived in Li City for 20 years. I don't want to go to an unfamiliar environment. Moreover, my job is in Li City, and my husband is here too. I won't leave."
Kang Ru's body stiffened, and his expression was extremely ugly. His eyes were filled with sorrow and shock. "Xi Xi, I came all the way here to pick you up. How could you…"
Song Shiyu, who was at the door, was speechless. 'You're here to pick Young Madam up, but does she have to go back with you? Dream on.'
Kang Ru lowered his head and thought for a moment. He looked at Qiao Xi anxiously. "Xi Xi, it's okay. If you like being a teacher, I can arrange a job for you at a university in Y Nation. The treatment you get there will definitely not be worse than at Li City University.
"As for your company in Li City, it's fine if you don't want it. If you really don't want to give it up, you can find a few trustworthy people to manage it for the time being. You're just a girl, so you should shop and watch movies like Qingzhi. Our family doesn't lack money, so why tire yourself out?!"
Song Shiyu: "…" He really wanted to chase this guy out!
Qiao Xi smiled. "Mr. Kang, everyone has their own ambitions. I don't like that kind of life. Work is very important to me."
Kang Ru frowned and gradually broke down.
He really did not understand why Xi Xi was unwilling to leave with him. What was so good about Li City? She could go home with him and get whatever she wanted. How could she bear to reject him?
Right! She had a husband! It must be because of that man.
Kang Ru thought for a long time and felt that this was the only reason. He calmed down and advised softly, "Xi Xi, you're unwilling to leave because of your husband, right? It's okay, you can bring him to Y Nation with you. I'll arrange his work too. Even if the two of you don't work, our family can still support you."
Song Shiyu: "…"
Song Shijing: "…"
Was he kidding? He wanted to arrange jobs for their president? He even wanted to support the president?
Qiao Xi seemed to be slightly speechless as well and chuckled. "Mr. Kang, didn't you investigate before coming? My husband is Gu Zheng."
Kang Ru naturally knew that Qiao Xi's husband was Gu Zheng, the richest man in Li City, but so what?
Just then, Song Shijing could not help but say, "Mr. Kang, our president has created a powerful business empire in Li City. It's really impossible for him to give up everything in Li City and return to Y Nation with you. Young Madam doesn't want to leave the president either. I hope you understand."
