The Kang father and son immediately looked at Qiao Xi. Kang Ru smiled affectionately. "Qingzhi, you're really sensible! Xi Xi, we're family. Don't bicker over such a small matter."
Qiao Xi smiled lightly. "Since Miss Kang has said so, I'll naturally forgive her."
Seeing that Qiao Xi did not bicker with her, Kang Ru was even happier. "Xi Xi, Qingzhi knows that you'll be staying at home, so she's taking the initiative to help you decorate your room!"
After she finished speaking, Kang Qingzhi held a tablet and walked in front of Qiao Xi with a smile. She bent down slightly to show her and said in a soft voice, "Sister Xi Xi, do you like these styles? If you don't, I'll help you choose some more."
Qiao Xi raised her eyes and glanced at her. It seemed like Kang Qingzhi was acting like the host of the villa and arranging a guest's living arrangements. She pretended to curry favor with Qiao Xi. "Look at this luxurious and noble appearance. It's worthy of your identity. There's also a simple style like this one. Which one do you like?"
Xue Yi leaned over to take a look and was instantly infuriated. No matter what, Xi Xi was a fashion designer and had high standards. However, among the few interior styles Kang Qing had chosen, one was over-the-top and vulgar while the other was too simple. It was essentially a sea of white. Those who did not know better would think that it was a hospital ward. It was obvious that Kang Qingzhi was not sincerely helping Xi Xi renovate her room but was provoking her.
However, Qiao Xi was not angry. Instead, she lowered her eyes and looked at the tablet for a long time. Then, she asked with a smile, "Miss Kang, which one do you think is better?"
A trace of success flashed past Kang Qingzhi's eyes. She tried her best to control her excitement and pretended to think seriously for a while. Then, she smiled and said, "Sister Xi Xi, I think this luxurious and noble style suits you. After all, you've been wandering outside for so many years. It's not easy for you to come home. I definitely can't treat you badly. You have to use the best things."
With that, she looked at Kang Ru. "Dad, you've been thinking about my sister all these years. Now that she's finally back, the Kang family naturally has to give her the best. We have to decorate her room to make it more luxurious. Only then will she be worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Kang family!"
Kang Ru's face was filled with gratification. He originally thought that Qingzhi did not want Xi Xi to come back. He did not expect her to be so sensible and considerate of Xi Xi.
Kang Qingzhi continued, "Since we're going to renovate it, we have to hire the best designers. I know a designer who's very outstanding. I'll invite him to help my sister design her room!"
"Alright!" Qiao Xi agreed without hesitation.
Kang Qingzhi knew that her scheme had succeeded and laughed arrogantly in her heart. Five years had passed, but Qiao Xi was still so stupid. Back then, she could play Qiao Xi like a fiddle, and she could do the same now!
The rooms of high society's socialites had to be luxurious, but they also had to be elegant. Who would stay in such an over-the-top room? It looked very tasteless! When Qiao Xi stayed in such a room, she would definitely be mocked by the people of high society!
The smile on Kang Qingzhi's face grew wider. "Sister Xi Xi, I'll arrange it as soon as possible, but the rooms on the second floor are already full. You can choose one from the first and third floors."
As the Kang family's villa was bought after coming to Li City, the main residence was not very big. The first floor was where the servants stayed, the second floor was where the family's rooms were, and the third floor was where guests stayed.
Xue Yi frowned.
Qiao Xi did not object and continued to smile. "I'm not picky about the rooms. Miss Kang, you can help me choose."
Kang Qingzhi sneered in her heart. It seemed that she had overestimated Qiao Xi. She did not expect her to be so obedient and as stupid as Xia Yunqiu. It would not be long before Qiao Xi paid the price for her stupidity.
Kang Qingzhi had a sweet smile on her face and hurriedly agreed. "Alright! Then you'll stay on the third floor! The rooms on the third floor are big. I'll choose a room with good lighting for my sister. We can also plant some flowers and plants out on the balcony. You'll be in a good mood after seeing the greenery."
"Thank you." Qiao Xi nodded slightly at her.
Seeing that the two sisters were getting along harmoniously, Kang Ru beamed. "I'm relieved to see the two of you so close. But Xi Xi, since you're already back home, don't keep calling Qingzhi 'Miss Kang.' She's your younger sister. Why are you treating her like an outsider?"
"Like an outsider?" It was just a simple request, so Kang Ru thought that Qiao Xi would definitely agree. He did not expect Qiao Xi to raise her eyes in surprise.
Kang Qingzhi's heart trembled as she had a bad feeling. The next second, she saw that Qiao Xi's eyes were filled with confusion as she asked word by word, "Aren't I an outsider?"
"You… What are you talking about?! How can you be an outsider?" Kang Ru choked and looked a little puzzled.
