Chapter 364 Let her go, and let yourself go
Mingzhu stopped there. As a friend, she let Kang Jingzhi, a smart man, decide what to do after giving her a friendly reminder.
"It's getting late. I have to go back. You should go back early too."
Kang Jingzhi nodded, but then he thought of something and said, "By the way, are we going to let the factory's losses go this time?"
"Don't worry, this is all because of me. You don't need to bear any losses. I will give you the same amount as the raw materials I took away."
Kang Jingzhi frowned: "Am I arguing with you about money?"
Mingzhu chuckled: "I know what you mean. Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. Lin Bo is still Qiao Nannan's husband. I have done so much, so what's the problem with helping Lin Bo to reduce his family's assets? Anyway, he is going to die anyway. Money is something outside of the body. You can't bring it with you when you are born, and you can't take it with you when you die. It's better to wipe the butt for his new wife."
Kang Jingzhi listened to Mingzhu's matter-of-fact tone and couldn't help laughing: "Lin Bo is really unlucky to meet you."
"What you said is true. I have encountered many people. Why don't others suffer?"
Kang Jingzhi agreed with a smile: "Yes, yes, they have done all kinds of bad things and asked for trouble. You are just responsible for enforcing justice. Okay."
Mingzhu gave Kang Jingzhi a thumbs up: "Mr. Kang, you really know how to talk. Let's go."
After she got in the car and left, Kang Jingzhi stood there, looking at Mingzhu's back, shaking his head and smiling. He has lived for thirty years and has never seen a woman more beautiful than her. How did she develop such a personality?
After Mingzhu left, Kang Jingzhi finally retracted his gaze and got in the car.
Thinking of what Mingzhu had just said, he pondered for a moment, then said to Master Li: "After you go back, let Kang Chengzhi come to see me."
An hour later, Kang Jingzhi was having lunch, and Master Li pushed Kang Chengzhi in.
The wheelchair stopped in the courtyard. Kang Chengzhi looked at Kang Jingzhi at the round table in the hall through the door, grinning: "Brother, why did you let me come over at this time?"
Kang Jingzhi didn't stop eating, and looked at him while picking up the dishes: "I heard that Liu Xiaoran gossiped about Mingzhu and me today?"
Kang Chengzhi's face froze, and then he complained depressedly: "Mingzhu is such a big mouth, why did she really complain to you, I asked Liu Xiaoran to apologize to her, she is too..."
Kang Jingzhi slammed his chopsticks on the table, his eyes fell on Kang Chengzhi's face coldly.
Kang Chengzhi immediately fell silent, looking at his brother with a guilty conscience.
Kang Jingzhi picked up a white towel soaked in alcohol and wiped his hands, then stood up and walked to the door: "Liu Xiaoran humiliated your elder brother in public for having an affair with a married woman, and you still think it's reasonable? She ruined my reputation and made the Kang family a laughing stock. What good is that for her and you? Tell me."
"No, brother, that's not what I meant. What I meant was... Liu Xiaoran apologized."
"Can an apology offset everything?" Kang Jingzhi threw the white cloth in his hand into the trash can, and naturally sat on the rattan chair beside the door, looking at Kang Chengzhi under the steps with a cold tone.
"Chengzhi, do you know why I never interfere in the affairs between you and Liu Xiaoran?"
Kang Chengzhi frowned: "Because you think this is a matter between us as husband and wife, and you don't want to interfere."
"No, because I think you can handle your marriage, but now it seems that you can't!"
"Brother..."
Kang Jingzhi interrupted Kang Chengzhi: "Mingzhu said something to me today. She said: [Marriage should bring people happiness, not endless quarrels]. I have never loved anyone, nor have I been married, so I don’t understand these. I have always taken it for granted that there is nothing wrong with the way you and your wife get along, but now it seems that I misunderstood. Chengzhi, are you happy?"
Kang Chengzhi was stunned when he heard this, and then fell into a long silence.
Kang Jingzhi looked at his gloomy eyes and shook his head lightly: "You are not happy, and you know this very clearly in your heart."
Kang Chengzhi sighed: "Brother, everyone's marriage is different..."
"But the true meaning of marriage should be the same. Two people come together for happiness, not to make each other more unhappy!"
Kang Chengzhi lowered his eyes.
Kang Jingzhi said lightly: "I often scold you for being stupid, but I know very clearly in my heart that my brother who can depend on me, withstand rumors together in the Kang family, and block so many vicious relatives fighting for power and hegemony, is definitely not a fool. You just set a trap for yourself and then jumped into it willingly."
Kang Chengzhi's eyes were red. Since he got married, his brother rarely saw him. Even if he saw him, he always scolded him for being stupid with a look of disgust.
This is... the first time I've said it...
"Chengzhi, do you really think that our Kang family hasn't repaid Liu Xiaoran for saving your life? You trapped yourself here, is it to repay her, or is it because you're unwilling to not let Liu Xiaoran fall in love with you?
What about you? Do you really love her? Do you love her so much that you can't live without her? Even if it means sacrificing your life, making yourself troubled, irritable, and unhappy for the rest of your life, you're willing to do it? Is she worth it? Does she really deserve it?"
Kang Jingzhi's series of questions made Kang Chengzhi almost breathless.
In fact, he has been thinking about this question these days. Doesn't he know the answer? He actually knows everything, but... he's just unwilling to accept it.
But now think about it, what exactly is he unwilling to accept? He was unwilling... He married her to make her happy, but in the end, he made all the efforts, but in return he only got... such calculation and lack of love.
Kang Jingzhi looked at Kang Chengzhi's troubled look, and his tone finally softened: "You are my closest relative in this world. You understand my situation. I can't carry on the Kang family's bloodline, but you can!
So Chengzhi, go back and think about it carefully. If it is not suitable, it is better to stop the loss as soon as possible, let her go, and let yourself go, find an obedient girl who makes you feel comfortable and willing to have children for you, and start over. You are still young, and everything is still in time."
Kang Chengzhi raised his eyes and looked at his brother who was like a brother and a father to him, his eyes reddened.
Kang Jingzhi wiped his hands and said, "Okay, I've said everything I need to say. Don't look so miserable in front of me. It makes people upset. Go back."
Kang Chengzhi nodded silently.
Master Li stepped forward and tried to push him out.
Kang Jingzhi thought of something and said, "Oh, go back and tell Liu Xiaoran that since she dares to use me as a weapon, eating Kang's food and smashing Kang's bowls, then she doesn't have to eat this meal anymore! From today on, the Kang family will stop providing her with monthly salary, and the Kang family will no longer provide any help to the Liu family. Don't support her secretly. If I find out that you disobeyed me... Kang Chengzhi, you know the consequences!"
