1557 The Relationship Between The Kang And Yao Families
Qiao Xi stood at the door and waited. She did not know the past of the families in the capital, nor did she know what grudges or secrets there were between them. However, if it was really like the clue Gu Zheng had found, that some people had used schemes and plots to snatch their current glory and wealth, it was really despicable.
Gu Yao was probably a child from a certain family in the capital who was wandering outside. However, because the situation was complicated at that time, Gu Zheng could not confirm which family Gu Yao was from, so the clues were cut off here.
Gu Yao took a deep breath and asked, “Who are the families that are related to the Xu family? We should be able to find your family if we eliminate them one by one. If my biological parents really did do that, there’s no need for us to acknowledge each other anymore.”
Gu Zheng looked up at him. “Don’t take Gu Weiming’s words to heart. We won’t know the truth until we investigate everything clearly.”
After the two of them finished chatting, Gu Zheng stood up. “Let’s go see Grandma.”
At nine in the evening, Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi left the Gu family’s old residence after dinner.
On the way, Qiao Xi asked curiously, “What clues have you found? Is Gu Yao really a child of a family in the capital?”
Gu Zheng nodded, then looked at Qiao Xi with a complicated gaze. Not only had he found out about Gu Yao, but he had also found out about the Situ family.
Previously, when the grand old master of the Situ family came to Li City, he had given Xi Xi an expensive porcelain vase. That porcelain vase was the Situ family’s heirloom. The grand old master had specially prepared it for his great-granddaughter who had led a wandering life. When he gave it to Xi Xi, it could not help but make others think that Xi Xi was from the Situ family.
However… the Situ family should have already received the news that the Kang family had come to Li City this time. However, they did not do anything. Someone suspected that Grand Old Master Situ had made a mistake. Perhaps he just liked Qiao Xi, so he gave her a porcelain vase.
Gu Zheng, on the other hand, thought that something was wrong with this matter. After a careful investigation, he actually found some clues. Back then, the Situ and Yue families were plotted against. The whereabouts of the two heads of the Situ family was unknown. Seeing that the century-old families were about to collapse, all the major families in the capital were waiting to devour them. The Kang family was probably one of them.
Hence, when the Kang family came to Li City this time, the Situ family did not appear. They were probably worried that the Kang family would do something bad to Xi Xi. However, the prerequisite for all their guesses was that Xi Xi was indeed a child of the Situ family.
Gu Zheng could not confirm that Xi Xi was a descendant of the Situ family, but Kang Jichuan had acknowledged Xi Xi five years ago.
Gu Zheng pulled Qiao Xi into his arms and gently stroked her head. “Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything.”
Qiao Xi nodded, and her mood seemed to have calmed down a little. Right on the heels of that, his cold voice sounded in her ears again. “Yao Junjie will be returning to Li City soon.”
Yao Junjie?
This name suddenly sounded a little unfamiliar, but Qiao Xi would not forget it. He was Yao Mengqing’s brother, the adopted son of the Yao family. He was the person who had agreed to give her Yao Corporation’s shares.
Gu Zheng said casually, “I told you before that the Kang family and the Yao family are related. Yao Junjie’s surname was originally Kang, and there was originally a Kang family in Li City. The old heads of the Kang family in Y Nation and the Kang family in Li City are half-brothers. After Kang Ru and Yao Junjie’s parents took over the family, the two families were also in contact.
“Yao Junjie’s mother is from the Yao family. After his parents passed away, he was sent to live with the Yao family. After that, the Kang family in Y Nation and Li City completely lost contact. I don’t know what happened after that. Yao Junjie, whose career was originally at its peak overseas, suddenly came back. He wants to start afresh in Li City.
Qiao Xi thought for a moment. “I remember that Kang Jichuan has a company in Li City.”
In the past, she was a little curious about why Kang Jichuan always came to Li City. Later on, she realized that the Kang family had opened a cosmetics company in Li City and had been operating it for many years.
Back then, the Kang family had a total of two brothers. The head of the Kang family in Y Nation inherited the title of nobility, while Yao Junjie’s grandfather was a famous businessman. After Yao Junjie’s grandfather and parents passed away one after another, Li City’s assets fell into the hands of Yao Mengqing’s grandfather and became the later Yao Corporation. Yao Junjie was just a nominal figure in this company. He did not have to appear when he had nothing to do. Once something happened to Yao Corporation, he would appear to clean up the mess for the Yao family.
Not only was Yao Junjie Gu Zheng’s friend, but Yao Mengqing, who was such an arrogant person, also respected her brother so much. It was impossible for him to be just an adopted son without any real power. Now that he had suddenly announced his return to Li City when Kang Ru and Kang Jichuan were here, it was too strange.
However, Qiao Xi felt that Yao Junjie was no threat to her and Gu Zheng. Moreover, he had already expressed his sincerity by giving her so many shares.
