1614 Your Love Is Too Cheap!
“The matter just now has been resolved. Let’s settle the rest.” As soon as Qiao Xi finished speaking, her icy-cold gaze landed on Old Madam Kang.
“The outside world doesn’t know much about my mother. I only heard that you doted on my mother very much and had been looking for her all these years. But do you know why my mother left?” Qiao Xi asked casually.
Kang Ru was instantly stunned. He said stiffly, “Yunqiu and my mother didn’t get along, and she angered my mother. She felt ashamed and left the house”
“Are you sure?” Qiao Xi’s eyes were filled with disappointment. Such a weak and irresponsible man was not worthy of being a father at all!
“Mr. Kang, listen carefully. My mother didn’t leave because of trivial matters in the family but because her life was threatened in the Kang family! The Kang family looks like a peaceful family on the surface, but they’re extremely dirty behind the scenes. Do you think that no one will find out once 20 years have passed?”
Qiao Xi’s eyes were icy-cold, and her voice was sharp. “Old Madam Kang, do you need me to produce evidence?”
Kang Ru instantly panicked. “Xi Xi, stop fooling around. Yunqiu abandoned me and Jichuan. It’s her fault. How can you blame your grandma?”
“Your wife? According to what I know, the two of you were never married! You’re weak by nature and don’t dare to defy Old Madam Kang’s orders. You forcefully kept my mom by your side and made her a mistress without a status. You even created the image of an affectionate husband for yourself after she left. Don’t you think you’re very hypocritical?”
Everyone was dumbfounded, then looked at Kang Ru in disdain.
Kang Ru’s face turned red as he retorted loudly, “But I loved her!”
“Is your love so selfish? Did you have to force her to stay by your side just because you loved her? You loved her, so you let her suffer Old Madam Kang’s torture every day? Kang Ru, your love is too cheap!”
Qiao Xi said angrily, “Not only will I leave the Kang family today, but I’ll also bring my mother with me! Back then, you ruined my mother’s wedding with her lover in the name of love. After snatching her home, you didn’t cherish her properly. After she left, you told everyone that your love for her hadn’t changed and blamed her for abandoning her husband and son, but no one knew that she left just to survive!”
Kang Ru retorted in a panic, “Nonsense! I didn’t force Yunqiu. She willingly stayed by our side. We were very in love!”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone could not help but say, “Mr. Kang, you can’t be too selfish. If you had really liked Madam Xia Yunqiu, you would’ve let her go. You wouldn’t have ruined her life.”
“She should have gotten a happy marriage, but you forced her to be your lover. What right do you have to say that you loved her? Since you snatched her from another man, you should’ve married her and sincerely treated her well. You shouldn’t have let her suffer. You want to be respected as a man, but you didn’t allow her to pursue her own happiness. Aren’t you too despicable?!”
“Or do you think that it was Xia Yunqiu’s honor to be your lover because of your noble status? Pfft! How disgusting!”
A wave of ridicule entered Kang Ru’s ears. He froze on the spot like a statue.
Back in Y Nation, everyone had lamented that he was affectionate and loyal. Now, everyone was scolding him for being selfish!
“Shut up!” Old Madam Kang was so angry that her face was ferocious. She roared like a wild beast, “Ah Ru is a noble in Y Nation, while Xia Yunqiu was just a lowly commoner. It was her honor to be Ah Ru’s lover. Was she worthy of being the madam of the Kang family?”
Anger surged in Qiao Xi’s heart. They thought they were high up on the pedestal and looked down on commoners, but what right did Kang Ru have to force her mother to stay by his side? The Kang family felt that it was already a supreme honor to be able to become the lover of the earl of Y Nation, but no one had ever asked her mother if she was willing.
At this point, Old Madam Kang did not feel guilty at all. Instead, she felt that Xia Yunqiu’s escape was disloyal to Kang Ru. Hence, Xia Yunqiu deserved to die!
Qiao Xi sneered. “Old Madam Kang, are the lives of commoners not important in your eyes? My mother stayed in the Kang family for three years while you tortured her to your heart’s content. At first, I didn’t understand why you insisted on abusing her, but I understand now. It’s because in your eyes, she’s just a slave. You don’t have to bear the consequences even if you kill her.”
“Shut up!” Old Madam Kang stopped her angrily.
