1442 An Illness That Acts Up Intermittently

“Young Master Kang, I’ve already said that I got into a car accident.” Qiao Xi stared at him with a burning gaze and said unhurriedly, “Do you mean to say that even though I’ve gotten into a car accident, I can’t treat my injuries, much less go to the hospital? Do you expect me to rush back immediately because Sister Qingzhi can’t wait? It doesn’t matter how injured I am at all, huh? I can’t seek treatment if Miss Kang is sick, right?”

Kang Jichuan’s expression changed as he hurriedly retorted, “Xi Xi, that’s not what I meant!”

“Then what do you mean?” Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. “Young Master Kang, you’re clearly blaming me for making Miss Kang wait for too long. In that case, I should give up on treatment. Even if my hand were to cripple, I’d have to rush back to see Miss Kang, right? However, if Miss Kang is really unwell, she could go to the hospital. It’s not like I stopped her. Why is it my fault now that her illness has acted up?”

The living room was silent. Qiao Xi’s every word hit the nail on the head, making Kang Jichuan unable to retort.

Song Shiyu, who was at the side, said in a low voice, “Young Madam is right! If Kang Qingzhi wants to show that she’s understanding, that’s her own business. She insisted on enduring it even when her illness flared up. Why should she blame Young Madam?

“I really wonder if Kang Jichuan is Young Madam’s biological brother. We need to do a paternity test. This family keeps saying that they want to bring Young Madam home, but they don’t care about Young Madam at all. Young Madam is so seriously injured, but they don’t care at all.”

Hearing Song Shiyu’s faint voice, Kang Jichuan gritted his teeth. Kang Qingzhi took a deep breath weakly. “Sister, I’m sorry. It’s all my… It’s my fault. My body is useless, so I made Brother worry. Don’t… blame Brother.”

Kang Ru was sandwiched in the middle with a difficult expression. In the end, he sighed helplessly. “Jichuan, as Xi Xi’s brother, you clearly know that she’s injured. It’s fine if you don’t comfort her, but you’ve been blaming her since she entered. You really shouldn’t have done that!”

Then, Kang Ru looked at Qiao Xi, his eyes filled with affection. “Xi Xi, your brother was rash just now. He and Qingzhi grew up together. Qingzhi’s health isn’t good, so your brother can’t help but be more concerned about her. Don’t mind him too much. You’re his younger sister, so he naturally cares about you.”

Qiao Xi smiled noncommittally, then looked at Kang Qingzhi. She looked like a weak little flower, but her eyes carried a trace of resentment.

“It’s okay. We’re family! Even if my brother blames me, I won’t mind.”

Kang Ru smiled in relief. “Alright! My good daughter!”

Kang Qingzhi widened her eyes in shock. Why did she feel that Qiao Xi seemed to have changed into a different person?!

Before she could figure it out, Qiao Xi asked with a smile, “Have all of you had lunch?”

Seeing that she was so obedient, the anger in Kang Jichuan’s heart dissipated a little. Before he could speak, Kang Ru hurriedly replied, “We came in a hurry and haven’t eaten.”

“Then how about we have a meal together?” As soon as Qiao Xi finished speaking, she looked at Kang Qingzhi and said softly, “Miss Kang, if you aren’t feeling well, you should quickly go to the hospital. I naturally won’t force you to stay. Otherwise, if you faint, I won’t be able to absolve myself of the blame.”

Kang Qingzhi bit her lip, her eyes filled with viciousness.

Kang Ru instantly understood what Qiao Xi meant. They could stay and eat together, but the prerequisite was that Kang Qingzhi had to be willing. If her body could not endure it, she could not stay.

He naturally wanted to stay, so he looked at Kang Qingzhi expectantly. “Qingzhi…”

Kang Qingzhi’s nails dug into her palms. If she agreed to stay, it meant that her relapse just now was an act. If she did not agree, Kang Jichuan would naturally not have any objections. However, Kang Ru would definitely blame her and think that she was hindering their relationship as father and daughter.

She did not expect that Qiao Xi would actually use Kang Ru to deal with her. Moreover, this method would not be noticed by others. Everyone would think that Qiao Xi was just doing things appropriately.

Kang Qing thought for a long time before nodding with a smile. “Dad, I’m much better now. It’s fine for me to stay for dinner.”

When Kang Ru heard this, he instantly smiled. “Xi Xi, since Qingzhi said that she’s fine, we can stay.”

Qiao Xi nodded, then instructed Uncle Sheng to make the arrangements. Then, she casually said, “Miss Kang, your illness is really aggressive. It was so serious just now. It’s only been a short while, yet you’ve already recovered. What exactly is your illness? Why does your illness act up intermittently?”
