Chapter 1455 Fear Will Accompany Her Forever

After Kang Qingzhi finished speaking, she saw that the father and son of the Kang family had complicated expressions. She instantly widened her eyes. "Dad, Brother, didn't you go to welcome Sister Xi Xi? Is it because I fainted that you… In that case, Sister Xi Xi…"

Kang Jichuan knew very well that Qiao Xi would definitely be sad since they got the butler to welcome Xi Xi. However, Qingzhi suddenly fainted. How could they ignore her?

Qingzhi had been weak and sickly since she was young. Xi Xi was also a girl, so her heart would probably ache for Qingzhi. If she bickered with them over such a small matter, then she was too petty.

Kang Qingzhi suddenly coughed a few times and frowned. "Dad, Brother, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. If I hadn't suddenly fainted, you would definitely have gone to welcome Sister. It's Sister Xi Xi's first day home and I've already delayed you. She… Will she blame me? I… I really didn't do it on purpose."

As she spoke, Kang Qingzhi suddenly choked. Her health was not good to begin with. Seeing that she was blaming herself so much, Kang Jichuan's heart ached even more. It was not Kang Qingzhi's fault that she fainted. She could not control it.

If Qiao Xi had not returned, Qingzhi would not have been so uneasy. Perhaps it was because of Qiao Xi that Qingzhi did not rest well or eat!

When he thought about this, Kang Jichuan's guilt toward Qiao Xi was instantly swept away. Instead, he felt aggrieved for Kang Qingzhi. He comforted her softly. "Qingzhi, this isn't your fault. You don't have to apologize. If Xi Xi blames you for this, then it's because she's too much of a bully."

"Will Sister Xi Xi be angry with me? I'm really afraid! I've let her down…"

Kang Jichuan gently wiped Kang Qingzhi's tears, then looked at Kang Ru. "Dad, Qingzhi's body is weak to begin with and can't take any stimulation. Why don't we let Xi Xi go to the backyard first? Qingzhi will be afraid if she comes in now."

Seeing Kang Qing cry, Kang Ru's heart naturally ached. Moreover, she was weak to begin with, so it was only right for Xi Xi to give in to her. Xi Xi was so obedient, so she definitely would not mind.

Qingzhi's illness was serious, and she might die one day. Hence, while she was still alive, they had to take good care of her. Xi Xi was still so healthy, so there would be many chances to compensate her in the future. There was no rush.

Kang Ru thought for a moment before nodding. "Alright."

Kang Jichuan was satisfied and stroked Kang Qingzhi's back gently. "Don't be afraid, Qingzhi. Xi Xi won't come to the main residence. She won't make things difficult for you."

"Huh? Ah Zheng, I haven't even entered yet, but why do I hear people talking bad about me behind my back? Who am I making things difficult for?" A cold female voice came from the door, and the expressions of the Kang family instantly changed.

"Xi Xi…" Kang Jichuan's heart trembled.

Qiao Xi walked to the door and stood still. She glanced coldly at everyone before her gaze finally landed on Kang Qingzhi. "Miss Kang, when did I make things difficult for you? We only met for the first time two days ago, and I don't seem to have spoken much to you. Why are you crying and saying that I'm making things difficult for you before I even enter? You're not even letting me enter the main residence?"

Kang Qingzhi's expression froze. She looked up and saw Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi standing at the door with a strong aura. Song Shijing and Xue Yi were behind them.

Kang Ru could not help but frown when he heard Qiao Xi's words.

Two days ago, Xi Xi and Qingzhi had just met for the first time in front of everyone. Xi Xi did not make things difficult for Qingzhi. Instead, she was very concerned about Qingzhi's illness. Why did Qingzhi think so badly of Xi Xi?

When Kang Jichuan heard Qiao Xi criticize Kang Qingzhi, his face was instantly filled with displeasure.

The corners of Qiao Xi's mouth curled up. "Why is Young Master Kang looking at me like that? Do you think I'm wrong? Miss Kang and I don't know each other. When have I ever made things difficult for her?"

Kang Jichuan lowered his eyes, and his heart instantly skipped a beat. In Qiao Xi's opinion, they were indeed strangers, but he knew very well that they had already met five years ago. At that time, Xi Xi had always looked for trouble with Qingzhi and bullied her until she cried all day.

Qingzhi was probably afraid of Xi Xi because she subconsciously remembered the trauma she received from Xi Xi's bullying. When she saw Qiao Xi, she had an inexplicable fear. Although she no longer had memories of Qiao Xi, that fear might accompany her for the rest of her life.

However, even if he knew the reason, he could not say it.

Kang Jichuan calmed down. "Xi Xi, don't misunderstand. Qingzhi just fainted. She can't be agitated right now."

Gu Zheng's eyes were filled with sharpness as he looked coldly at the three people from the Kang family. His gaze was about to burn the three of them to ashes.
