Chapter 1395 Can A Father Decide Everything For His Children?

Kang Ru's eyes were filled with shock and confusion. "Xi Xi, since you're married, he should follow you to Y Nation. Moreover, how can Li City compare to Y Nation? Your family is waiting for you to go back. Can you bear to disappoint them?"

Qiao Xi refused without the slightest hesitation. "Mr. Kang, there are many important people and matters in Li City. I won't go back."

Kang Ru's body went weak as he took two steps back uncontrollably. His eyes were filled with disbelief, then he said sadly, "I'm your biological father! Can't you give up everything in Li City for me?"

Qiao Xi was simply angered to the point of laughing due to Kang Ru's naive thoughts. If she took revenge on Kang Jichuan in the future, Kang Ru would definitely say with a sad expression, "He's your biological brother! Can't you give up your past hatred for him?"

"Mr. Kang, you keep saying that you're my father. If that's the case, why didn't my mother live with you but came to Li City alone?"

As soon as Qiao Xi finished speaking, she looked at Kang Ru with interest. Sure enough, his expression changed, and his eyes were filled with sorrow. He said in an extremely helpless tone, "I had no choice! Yunqiu and my mother have always been like fire and water. I only asked her to tolerate it a little, but she refused to accept it and left in a fit of anger.

"I always thought that she was just a child of an ordinary family, while I was a noble earl. The difference in status between us was too great, so we couldn't get married. Later on, I found out that she was Old Madam Yin's daughter. Why didn't she tell me?! If she had told me, we could've been together!"

Kang Ru's eyes were filled with regret and confusion. If Yunqiu had revealed her identity back then, they would have gotten married a long time ago and given birth to a pair of obedient children. The two of them would have accompanied each other until they grew old.

He loved Yunqiu, but he could not understand her actions. Hence, he said with a serious expression, "I couldn't give her a marriage, but I wouldn't like anyone else either. I'd love her forever and treat her well. Isn't that enough?"

Song Shiyu: "??"

'F*ck! If you're unwilling to marry her, what right do you have to ask her to stay by your side?'

After Qiao Xi heard Kang Ru's story, her expression did not change at all. She already understood why her mother left back then.

Even now, Kang Ru did not understand why Xia Yunqiu left. What he cared more about now was how to bring his daughter home.

"Xi Xi, what's so important about Li City that it's more important than reuniting with your family?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the living room fell silent.

"Mr. Kang." Suddenly, a cold male voice came from upstairs.

"Xi Xi was born and raised in Li City. To her, Li City has many precious memories. Besides, the company my mother-in-law spent a lot of effort to found is here. Of course, she can't bear to leave.

"You're just a stranger who's related to her by blood. She's already 21 years old, but this is the first time she's seen you. The moment you appear, you're asking her to give up everything and return to an unfamiliar city with you. How could she agree?"

The man's voice was calm, but it carried a hint of sharpness, making Kang Ru inexplicably feel a sense of oppression.

Kang Ru frowned unhappily and looked up at the man in front of her. "You're Gu Zheng?

"I'm Xi Xi's biological father. What's wrong with bringing her home? We're related by blood, so how can we be strangers? Her biological grandmother and brother are at home. They'll naturally adapt after spending some time together.

"The company her mother left behind is just an inanimate object. How can it be more important than her family? If she really cares about it, she can come back to visit every year."

Kang Ru was still unable to understand Qiao Xi's thoughts. His thoughts were already deeply rooted, and no one could change his thoughts. Just like back then, he thought that it did not matter if he did not get married. It was fine as long as he could live happily with Yunqiu. Moreover, Yunqiu had agreed at that time. They had the best time together and had their son, but later on…

Gu Zheng suddenly sneered and interrupted his thoughts, "Mr. Kang, no matter who you are to Xi Xi, you can't interfere in her life. She has the right to decide her own life. You have no right to force her."

Kang Ru immediately retorted, "But I'm her father!"

"Can a father decide everything for his children? Do you think it's reasonable for him to oppress his children just because they're related by blood?" Gu Zheng questioned coldly.
