1462 A Guest Will Go Along With The Host
Qiao Xi straightened her back and crossed her arms. “That’s not right! If I’m not an outsider, why would I stay in a guest room on the third floor? Miss Kang, didn’t you arrange for me to stay in a guest room because you treat me as a guest? Since Miss Kang doesn’t treat me as family, why should I treat her as family? Is there anything wrong with me calling her Miss Kang?”
The living room was silent. Kang Qingzhi pursed her lips with an aggrieved expression.
“Xi Xi, the rooms on the second floor are all…” Kang Jichuan hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, but he was interrupted by Qiao Xi with a wave of her hand.
“There are only two hosts in this household, Dad and Brother. There are three rooms on the second floor, so there should be one left.” Qiao Xi asked unhurriedly, “Could it be that Dad didn’t mean it when he said he wanted me to stay at home? He didn’t even arrange a room for me?”
Kang Qingzhi’s heart skipped a beat. No wonder Qiao Xi did not bicker with her. It turned out that she wanted to snatch her room!
Kang Ru wanted to say something but hesitated. He looked troubled. The remaining room had long been occupied by Qingzhi. He could not ask Qingzhi to move out, right?
Seeing this, Kang Jichuan explained, “Xi Xi, Qingzhi has taken over the room on the second floor. She’s weak and sickly, so the room has to be spacious and airy. Please don’t take offense.”
Kang Qingzhi curled her lips proudly. With her brother protecting her, it was absolutely impossible for Qiao Xi to snatch her room!
Qiao Xi ignored Kang Jichuan and raised her eyes to look at Kang Ru. “Alright. In any case, I’m already married. I can still stay in Longwan Residential most of the time. I’ll only come here occasionally for a few days. It doesn’t matter even if I stay in the guest room.”
Gu Zheng said gently, “Xi Xi, don’t be sad. Longwan Residential is your home. If they think you’re a guest here, you don’t have to treat them as family.”
Xue Yi echoed in a mocking tone, “Mr. Kang, you really fulfilled your promise. You sure know how to distinguish between your adopted daughter and your biological daughter. It’s just that you treat Kang Qing, your adopted daughter, well but you treat Xi Xi, your biological daughter, as a guest!
“Xi Xi, your biological daughter has been wandering outside since she was young. She definitely can’t compare to your adopted daughter who has been by your side for more than ten years. Blood relations aren’t that important. Xi Xi is just an outsider, after all.
“Xi Xi, even though you don’t go to the Xue family’s house often, we still prepared a room for you. The Kang family is a noble family in Y Nation, but they’re not even willing to prepare a room for you. This is a problem with their attitude! Since their family of three is already so happy, don’t interfere lest you’re mocked.”
From the beginning until the end, Qiao Xi’s expression was very calm. Her thin lips parted slightly. “Sister Xue Yi, you’re right. I’m indeed just a guest. I know my identity. Miss Kang, you can make any arrangements. A guest will go along with the host’s wishes!”
Kang Ru gasped and subconsciously looked at Kang Qingzhi, his gaze filled with conflict.
Kang Qingzhi’s face was pale, and her heart was filled with resentment. Kang Ru was soft-hearted. As long as Qiao Xi made herself appear as the victim, he would make Kang Qingzhi give in to her. However, she had lived with the Kang family for more than ten years. Why should she give in to Qiao Xi?
Kang Jichuan looked unhappy. “Xi Xi, when we moved in, Qingzhi wanted to leave the room on the second floor to you, but she’s not in good health. The room on the second floor is spacious and bright, suitable for recuperation. That’s why Dad and I arranged for her to stay on the second floor. She’s a patient. How can you bicker with a patient?”
Qiao Xi blinked, and her eyes carried a trace of confusion. “Young Master Kang, why don’t I understand what you’re saying? Do you think I’m bickering with Miss Kang? But I didn’t blame Miss Kang for staying on the second floor at all, nor did I refuse to let Miss Kang arrange for me to stay in the guest room.”
Her beautiful eyes shifted as she looked at Kang Jichuan innocently. “I’ve already agreed. Why are you still not satisfied, Young Master Kang?
Kang Jichuan was instantly speechless. He frowned as his body tensed up. He sighed helplessly. “Xi Xi, you’ve agreed, but you’re still unhappy. Qingzhi has been sick since she was young. No matter what her requests are, Dad and I will try our best to satisfy her. Now that you’re back, you’re unwilling to let Qingzhi stay in her room. It’s just a room. Can’t you stay on the third floor? Why must you fight with Qingzhi?”
The moment that was said, the air seemed to have frozen. There was a dead silence.
After a long time, Qiao Xi suddenly sneered. Her eyebrows were exquisite as she coldly glanced at Kang Jichuan.
“To be honest, I’m just unhappy. Anyone would be unhappy to encounter such a thing, right? You’ve clearly agreed to treat me as the rightful eldest miss of the Kang family, but it’s my first time coming home and I have to stay in the guest room while Kang Qingzhi stays in the most spacious and bright room in the main residence.”
