Chapter 518: Anger
Kang Xu did not repent because of Old Madam Kang’s words. Instead, he was even more worried about Jiang Xin.
At this moment, Kang Xu was dissatisfied with Su Wan. After all, they were once family, yet she was so ruthless. Although Jiang Xin was in the wrong, Su Wan had not only destroyed Jiang Xin.
However, Kang Xu had forgotten that Jiang Xin’s mistake was not a small one. It was a kidnapping and a human life. She had almost destroyed a family and had already crossed the bottom line of the law.
Seeing that Kang Xu was still unrepentant, Old Madam Kang was so angry that she almost couldn’t breathe. “What’s so good about that woman that you’re so concerned about her? At least think about the Kang family!”
Old Madam Kang’s heart ached for Kang Xu, but she couldn’t bear to say anything harsh. She could only persuade him again and again.
“Grandma.” Kang Xu thought for a while and still raised his head firmly. “Husband and wife are birds in the same forest. How can we fly separately in the face of a calamity? Xinxin is my wife. At this critical moment, I should help her, not abandon her. I used to listen to you, but today, I want to make the decision myself.”
Old Madam Kang was stunned when she heard this. Then, she nodded in disappointment. “Okay, okay. If you want to help her, go ahead! But don’t even think about relying on the Kang family! Our Kang family can’t afford to lose face!”
With that, she immediately turned her head away, muddy tears flowing down her wrinkles.
She hated Kang Xu for being stubborn. It was her fault for choosing such a wife for Kang Xu back then.
If she had known this would happen, she wouldn’t have done it in the first place!
Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Kang stood up for Kang Xu. They stood at the side with dark expressions. They probably felt that what Jiang Xin had done was really a disgrace to their family and were disappointed in Kang Xu’s actions.
Kang Xu glanced at his parents. He knew that it was useless for them to persuade his grandmother to help Jiang Xin, so he looked away. However, he did not see the struggle and heartache in Mother Kang’s eyes.
Kang Xu looked at Old Madam Kang reluctantly, but Old Madam Kang closed her eyes and cried, no longer turning to look at him.
After a long while, Kang Xu stood up and turned to leave the Kang family. When he reached the door, he did not forget to look back at the three of them.
Perhaps Jiang Xin was right. His grandmother was in charge of the family, and his grandmother only put the good family background first. Once something bad happened in the family, she would abandon it without hesitation.
In the end, Kang Xu crossed the threshold. Old Madam Kang turned around, but she only saw the last afterimage. His determined back hurt her eyes.
“Our family is unlucky!” Old Madam Kang sighed.
“Mom…” Father Kang and Mother Kang called out worriedly in unison.
Mother Kang was more emotional. When she saw Kang Xu like this, she couldn’t bear it. “Mom, are you really not going to help Kang Xu? He’s just in love…”
“Do you think I did something wrong too?” Old Madam Kang glanced at her.
“That’s not what I meant.” Mother Kang’s voice weakened. She knew that Old Madam Kang had her own decision, but Kang Xu was the only child in the family after all. She was afraid that he would be too ruthless.
“It’s also because we raised him too well that he can’t understand the current situation and the purpose of our actions. Why don’t we take this opportunity to let him experience the cruelty and danger of this society?”
Old Madam Kang didn’t blame Mother Kang. She slowly took a deep breath. “Just wait. Since Jiang Xin can do those things, she definitely isn’t a good person. Little Xu will slowly see it clearly. Without the support of the Kang family, he can’t do anything!”
Mr. Kang put his arm around Mrs. Kang’s shoulder and comforted her. “Mom, you’re right. Xiao Xu’s heart has never been on the Kang Family’s business, but these things will be handed over to him one day. This time, we can let him train. We can’t protect him forever.”
Mother Kang was helpless and could only nod.
…
Su Jing brought Su Ye and Zhang Qing to stay in his previous house in the country. He knew that the two elders would return to the country, and the room had been tidied up since Su Jing and his sister returned to the country, so the two of them could move in with their bags.
“Where are my two obedient grandchildren? Why don’t I see them today?” After Zhang Qing packed up, she looked around them in confusion.
