Chapter 82

In the hall at this time.

All the main family members are gathered here.

The old man's face looked very ugly. He had already expected that this day would come to Xue Xiaochen, but he did not expect that the other party would come back with an illegitimate child.

The one who suffered the most was Kang Lao Er.

He didn't even need to do a paternity test, because the boy in front of him looked exactly like him when he was young.

After a long time, the old man slowly opened his cloudy eyes and looked at her deeply: "Xiaochen, what do you want?"

He found that even he could not understand the woman in front of him.

Xue Xiaochen did not answer the old man. Instead, he slowly stood up and walked to a woman in a white cheongsam not far away.

The woman's appearance was similar to Xue Xiaochen only in her eyebrows and eyes. It was obvious that she was the only daughter of the Kang family.

But at this moment, her face was full of fatigue and boredom.

A hint of heartache flashed in the depths of Xue Xiaochen's eyes, but then the heartache disappeared without a trace.

She reached out and gently stroked the woman's face.

Beneath the exquisite makeup, she no longer looks young.

"Actually, I don't ask for much. I just want Xue Han to leave the house with nothing. And I want Qiao Yang to be held legally responsible."

The voice of this sentence was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone present to hear.

It was precisely because of this that many people gasped, thinking she was dreaming.

And she also clearly felt the woman under her palm tremble.

Especially Kang Lao Er, who couldn't help but speak out as soon as she finished speaking, "What are you thinking? With the current marriage law, Xue Han can't be kicked out of the house."

Hearing this, Xue Xiaochen glanced at him calmly and said, "So this is where Grandfather comes to discuss this with Xue Han."

“…”

“…” The old man looked at her silently.

"You are dealing with Qiao Ye's father. Aren't you afraid that Qiao Ye will come to trouble you later?" The man was a little anxious and even brought up Qiao Ye.

"Do you think I would have said this without Ah Ye's permission?" Xue Xiaochen smiled, a cold look flashing in his eyes. He opened his red lips slightly, as if reading out a list. "With Ah Ye's consent, she gave me the right to deal with her father. So, unfortunately, this time, Xue Han, you, and Qiao Yang, none of you can escape."

At this time, the old man who had been silent all this time spoke up, "Give me a reason."

"Xue Han arbitrarily appropriated $37 million from the Kang Group to enjoy himself and support his mistress. He's not even a child of our Kang family, so why is he using our money to support someone else? What? Do you think our Kang family is some kind of charity?"

"Don't keep saying 'our Kang family'. We are the only ones with the surname Kang. You, an outsider, don't have the surname Kang..." Kang Lao Er sneered.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the old man: "Kang Shaoping, if you dare to say another word, even if your last name is Kang, get out of this house."

“…”

The man who was yelled at by the old man fell silent instantly and stood behind the old man like a quail.

"Ah, that's all I have to say. My second uncle's words just now reminded me. How did Kang Lening stay in Country M all this time? I'm afraid my second uncle knows better than me, right?"

Xue Xiaochen walked slowly in front of him and smiled. "How about we ask Le Ning to tell us about his bitterness and hardships over the years?"

"quiet--"

The old man pounded the ground hard with his dragon-headed cane, and the scene gradually quieted down.

Then, he looked at Xue Xiaochen and said, "If this is what you want, then I have nothing to say. As for this little fellow, the Kang family genealogy will always be open to you."

The old man's words were tantamount to acknowledging Kang Lening's identity.

The boy smiled and said, "Then I will, thank you very much, Grandpa."

He was also very smart and just changed the name directly.

"Xiaochen, I already know your request. But I need to know what role Qiao Yang plays in this matter."

Xue Xiaochen had already guessed that he would ask this.

So she clapped her hands gently, and soon, a servant placed a stack of information respectfully in front of the old man.

"Grandfather, you taught us from a young age that we should speak with facts. So, I have prepared a lot for today's event. There is still a lot of time, so you can take your time to read it."

As he spoke, Xue Xiaochen found a comfortable seat for himself and sat down.

Mr. Kang just raised his head, glanced at her, picked up the information in front of him and started reading.

The woman sat in her seat and observed Kang Laoer's expression with interest.

His expression kept changing with the rhythm of the old man flipping the pages.

Especially the smooth forehead, from which cold sweat had slowly seeped out.

About half an hour later, the old man threw the information he had not finished reading onto the table.

His body was heaving violently, as if he was very angry.

He stretched out his hand, pointing at his two sons, and said angrily: "You...you...you two...are good, very good. You did so many things behind my back, right?"

Seeing that she had achieved her desired goal, the woman slowly stood up and said, "It seems that Grandfather has more important things to do. I won't stay here..."

Hearing her words, the old man shouted, "Wait."

The woman stopped at the door, but did not turn around. Instead, she waited quietly for his next words.

"State your demands all at once. As for having Xue Han kicked out of the house, you also have to consider your mother's opinion. Of course, if she agrees, I can certainly do it."

Xue Xiaochen turned around, looked at the woman not far away, and asked with a smile, "So, my dear mother, do you want a divorce?"

It was a very common question, but for some reason it felt like an interrogation.

She pursed her lips and looked at her own daughter in front of her.

She couldn't help but realize that her daughter had grown up to the point where she could handle the ups and downs of the world on her own.

She is no longer needed.

Later, as if she had made up her mind, she looked at her elderly father and said, "Daddy, I want a divorce."

The old man looked at his daughter and nodded, "I understand."

Xue Xiaochen: "As for the rest, it's probably just to give Le Ning a position in Kang's. We can then assess his abilities. Of course, if you don't want the Kang family to have the surname Kang but Xue, I have no objection."

As she spoke, the woman smiled, opened the door and left the hall.

Pei Qing leaned against the door, still thinking about what had just happened.

She even called Joe a few times, but still no one answered.

It was not until someone tapped her shoulder that she suddenly raised her head as if frightened.

Seeing that it was her, she breathed a sigh of relief and patted the dust off her body. "Have you already discussed it?"

"Yeah. Let's go back."

As he spoke, Xue Xiaochen got in the car first.

Following them out was their exclusive driver: Kang Lening.

"Are you ready to be included in the family tree?" Xue Xiaochen asked.

"Of course." The young man said, "Once I'm included in the family tree, I can then legitimately display my skills."

"..." The woman paused, "It's up to you."

In the car was playing today's news.

"The FBI of Country M issued a notice today stating that the unrest was caused by the uneven distribution of territory among multiple gangs..."

This was the first time they had heard news about Country M in such a long time.

Pei Qing's body shook suddenly. The sudden news caught her off guard.

Almost subconsciously, she looked through the rearview mirror at Xue Xiaochen sitting in the back seat.

Coincidentally, the other person was also looking at her.

Obviously everyone has heard the news just now.

"Do you want to go?" Xue Xiaochen asked.

Pei Qing was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect the other party to say that. She nodded honestly: "I do. But if I go, it might just be causing more trouble."

Hearing her say this, the woman couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You are much more self-aware than those clueless girlfriends of theirs. At least you won't do anything reckless."

"Eh? Them?"

"For example, the girlfriends that He Shanyi and his group dated before." The woman sneered, seeming to disdain their girlfriends. "A bunch of big-breasted, brainless idiots who just want to fall in love. They can't tell good from bad, and just like to stick with their partners. Not only do they fail at critical moments, but they also always spread all kinds of nonsense to the media. I wonder how much Mr. He spent to clean up their messes."

“…”

"Things got better later. This guy didn't do anything rash. Now is definitely not the time for you to go. Wait for news from her. Calculating the time, this guy should give some news."

"Before... did Xiaoye have a partner?" Pei Qing asked in a low voice.

As if he felt that his question was not very polite, he quickly added: "If it is not convenient to say it, you don't have to say it..."

"Hmm?" Xue Xiaochen responded with a puzzled look, then rolled his eyes. "What's so hard about that? Besides playing games, have you ever seen that girl like anything else?"

“…”Well, it seems to be true.

"That girl played games in middle school, high school, and college. Only you can tolerate her. Otherwise, with her poor, loser look, do you think she looks like someone who can find a partner?"

“…I see…”

"Don't worry too much about her. Good people don't live long, but evil can last for thousands of years. Qiao Ye, this evil, will definitely survive."

Although she knew she was comforting herself, Pei Qing couldn't help laughing. She nodded vigorously, "Yeah. I hope Xiaoye comes back soon."

Kang Lening looked at Xue Xiaochen behind him, his eyes thoughtful.

The fingers gripping the steering wheel turned slightly white, and suddenly, he met a pair of deep eyes.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat. Those eyes were so deep that he felt as if all his thoughts were seen through.

But the next second, the woman turned her gaze away again, as if everything that had just happened was just his illusion.

The car continued to move steadily on the road.

*

At this time, in the country M, there is an underground garage in Mishiroda State.

Bang--

boom--

An "object" was thrown out with great force, drew a graceful arc in the air, and then embedded heavily into a black car.

A stream of warm liquid flowed out of the body.

"Cough... cough... cough..." The man couldn't help coughing, then slowly climbed out of the car.

Standing in front of him was a short-haired woman who was stretching the muscles in her wrist. Seeing that he could still move, she raised an eyebrow in surprise, but still smiled, "Yo, it looks like you can still move. Let's continue."
