Kang Ru did not speak for a long time, while He Weinian asked tentatively, "Don't tell me you're here to look for Xi Xi?"
Kang Ru was instantly interested when he heard Qiao Xi's name. "Mr. He, do you know Xi Xi?"
He Weinian smiled gently. "Of course, I do. Xi Xi is Ah Zheng's wife, and Ah Zheng is my student."
Kang Ru's eyes were filled with surprise. "I didn't expect you and Xi Xi to be so close. In that case, can you help me persuade Xi Xi to return to Y Nation with me?"
He Weinian's expression did not change, but he was sneering in his heart. He still replied gently, "That's not difficult. I can help you persuade Xi Xi. Why don't we add each other's contact details first so that we can contact each other at any time? If there's any progress, I can also inform you to come to Li City."
Kang Ru hurriedly nodded. He Weinian was Gu Zheng's master and would definitely be close to the couple. As long as he could persuade Xi Xi, Xi Xi might agree.
After the two of them added each other's contact details and exchanged a few pleasantries, Kang Ru left in satisfaction.
Watching the car drive away, He Weinian's gentle expression suddenly turned cold. His eyes were filled with mockery as he sneered. "Idiot!"
He Wenxian walked to his side and said softly, "Father, is he Kang Ru? Has he found Qiao Xi? Kang Jichuan should know too, right?"
He Weinian smirked. "Kang Ru came all the way to Li City, so he naturally wouldn't hide it from Kang Jichuan. An idiot like Kang Ru is destined to be useless for the rest of his life. If it weren't for the fact that he has a noble title, he would have long fallen to the streets. Fortunately, his son is still considered smart and will do anything to achieve his goals. He has my demeanor from when I was young.
"Kang Ru actually wants to bring Qiao Xi back to Y Nation. He probably doesn't know what Kang Jichuan has done to Qiao Xi!"
He Weinian sneered. "Now that Qiao Xi has already lost her memory, it's even more impossible for Kang Jichuan to tell Kang Ru about what happened back then. We'll just pretend not to know.
"Wenxian, besides renewing your relationship with Gu Zheng, you have to build a good relationship with Qiao Xi. It's best if you can become good friends with her.
"I don't care what you do, but you can't reveal any flaws in front of Qiao Xi. You have to learn to treat her sincerely. Wenxian, don't disappoint me."
He Wenxian pursed her lips nervously and nodded hurriedly. "Father, I'll remember your words."
"You can't just remember. You have to do it!" He Weinian's voice suddenly turned cold, and his gentle gaze became sharp. "Before I returned to the country, I told you that you had to build a good relationship with Qiao Xi, but what did you do? Just because you were jealous of her, you offended her time and again and were even played by her. Your actions can't compare to that silly He Wenyin!"
He Wenxian lowered her head and gritted her teeth.
"Now that Qiao Xi is married to Gu Zheng, we can't do anything under Gu Zheng's watch. If we don't deliberately get close to her, what else can we do? You have to be clear that not only do we have to complete the plan, but we also can't let others suspect the He family. Only then will we be considered to have truly succeeded.
"Wenxian, I can understand your feelings. You hate Qiao Xi, but if you can't bear it, it'll ruin your plan. Bear with her for a while longer. As long as the time is right, she'll die in pain in front of you. At that time, you'll understand that all your forbearance is worth it!"
He Wenxian exhaled. "I understand."
He Weinian nodded, and his sharp expression gradually became gentle and loving. "Alright, let's go in."
"By the way, how's the preparation for the restoration of the ancient book going?" He Weinian asked casually.
He Wenxian smiled confidently. "Of course, there's no problem. As long as the real Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor doesn't appear, everything will go smoothly."
Rumor had it that a young woman who claimed to be the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor restored a damaged scroll in just a month and became famous. However, there had been no news of her in recent years.
"Don't worry, I won't let her appear." He Weinian smiled coldly. Once the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor appeared, he would get rid of her.
In the study of Longwan Residential.
Gu Zheng leaned against the chair and looked at his wife with interest. "What do you need my help with?"
If it was about Kang Ru and Kang Jichuan, she did not have to hide it. After all, Song Shijing and Song Shiyu already knew about it.
Moreover, when she said she wanted to help, she was a little nervous and ingratiating. Gu Zheng kept having the feeling that her request was not ordinary.
