Chapter 1396 Honey, Arsenic

Gu Zheng's words echoed in every corner of the living room. Uncle Sheng and Song Shijing lowered their heads, but Song Shiyu was extremely excited. He hoped that the president could deal with this weird old man!

Kang Ru was born as the noble young master of the Kang family. After he became an adult, he inherited a noble title. No one had ever spoken to him in such a tone. Gu Zheng was the only one.

His face was pale, and his eyes were filled with anger. "Gu Zheng!"

Gu Zheng still had an indifferent expression as he looked at Kang Ru with a faint smile. He did not care about Kang Ru's anger at all.

"I'm doing this for her own good. As long as she goes back with me, she'll be the daughter of the Kang family. Won't it be good if she becomes the younger sister of an earl?" Kang Ru was so angry that her face turned red.

Gu Zheng replied casually, "No, she doesn't like that."

Kang Ru had received good guidance since he was young and developed a gentle and humble character. He was a famous gentle young master in Y Nation. He would not lose his temper because it would really damage his image. At this moment, he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

After calming down for a long time, Kang Ru sighed helplessly. "Xi Xi, I really hope you'll come back with me. You're still young and have a few friends by your side, so perhaps you don't think that blood relations are important. But when you really encounter trouble, you'll know how important family is. As long as you return to Romulan City, I'll help you arrange everything. I'll definitely try my best to make it up to you and make you the happiest daughter of a noble family!"

Qiao Xi quietly looked at Kang Ru.

Perhaps Kang Ru really wanted to treat her well, but it was unrealistic for her to give up everything in Li City and live in Y Nation.

Kang Ru's thoughts were selfish. He only wanted to make up for the regret in his heart, but he had never thought about whether she was willing or not. He thought that what he could give his children was the best, and as a child, she should not refuse her father's arrangements. She should obediently live according to his wishes.

He was too arbitrary and did not allow others to refuse or object.

Perhaps to most people, becoming the daughter of the Kang family was a blissful thing. With a father who doted on her, she did not have to do anything and could squander money freely. Her father would do his best to satisfy whatever she wanted to do. This seemed to be what many girls dreamed of, but there were always people who did not like it.

To Qiao Xi, Kang Ru was still a stranger. It was their first time meeting, yet Kang Ru was already asking her to let go of everything and live in the unfamiliar Romulan City. With Qiao Xi's unyielding character, she would absolutely not agree.

Kang Ru continued to persuade her patiently. "Xi Xi, the few companies in Li City are worthless. If you really like opening companies, I'll open them for you when we go back to Romulan City. Let's not take anything here. We'll take a private plane back now…"

"Mr. Kang." Qiao Xi's voice was cold as she interrupted him. "My husband has already made himself very clear just now. No one can force me."

Kang Ru's glowing eyes instantly darkened. "Xi Xi, how can you be so heartless?"

Qiao Xi was slightly helpless. If she had grown up by Kang Ru's side since she was young, she might have become what Kang Ru liked and become the noble daughter of the Kang family, a beautiful but useless canary.

Qiao Xi had completely lost her patience now. Before she could speak, Gu Zheng beat her to it and said in a sharp voice, "Mr. Kang, our intentions are very clear. If you're willing to stay as a guest, we'll naturally welcome you, but you can't take Xi Xi away. If you insist on doing this, then even if I have to risk my life today, I won't let you take Xi Xi away."

Gu Zheng exuded strong killing intent and did not hide the coldness in his eyes. Kang Ru took a few steps back in fear.

He was respected and admired in Y Nation. No one had ever threatened him like this. His life had been smooth sailing without a trace of trouble, so he was still as naive as a child at his age.

Kang Ru could not help but glance at Qiao Xi. His lips moved, and he still refused to give up. "Xi Xi, can't you think about it again?"

"Mr. Kang." Song Shijing knew that Young Madam did not want to say anything else, so he went forward with a smile. "Mr. Kang, you came so suddenly this time. Moreover, it's your first time meeting Young Madam. It's normal that Young Madam can't accept it at the moment. Why don't you give her more time? Some things have to be adapted to."

Song Shijing's words gave Kang Ru a trace of hope and shut him up. He did not know what to say.
