Chapter 369 Let's go then

If you don't join in the fun, you will be unworthy of your chosen luck.

When Master Li came out to pick up the three little ones, Mingzhu followed him in with a smile.

Seeing her enter the door, Master Li was a little surprised: "Miss Ming is not going to the mall today?"

"I'll go later, no hurry, I have something to talk to Kang Jingzhi about."

Old Li didn't dare to ask about Miss Ming's affairs: "Then Miss Ming, please wait with me in the front yard, Mr. Chengzhi and his wife are here."

"Are they in the front hall? You've taken the trouble to bring my three little ones here to play for a while. My affairs are related to them. I'll go in and take a look. Don't worry, Kang Jingzhi won't say anything about you."

Master Li nodded. Mr. Kang never blamed himself for Miss Ming's affairs. Instead, he was scolded for blocking her.

He still has this point.

Mingzhu trotted all the way to the round arch in the front yard. She deliberately slowed down her steps and hid by the arch to eavesdrop.

Kang Jingzhi had a cleanliness fetish, so every time he met someone, the other person had to be in the yard. Even if she stood outside the arch, she could hear everything clearly, including Liu Xiaoran's crying in the yard at this moment.

"Brother, I really don't know why you are targeting me like this for an outsider. I have already apologized, what else do you want me to do? What's more, what I meant at the time was just to say that she shouldn't rely on her good relationship with you to meddle in my and Chengzhi's affairs. I didn't..."

"Is she meddling in other people's business, or are you gossiping behind people's backs?" Kang Jingzhi interrupted Liu Xiaoran's crying and looked at Kang Chengzhi: "You were at the scene that day. Tell me yourself, was it Liu Xiaoran who mentioned Mingzhu first, or was it Mingzhu who started looking for trouble first."

Kang Chengzhi frowned and said nothing.

Kang Jingzhi sneered: "It seems that Liu Xiaoran was the one who said something about Mingzhu first and pissed her off, so you were punished. You deserve it. How dare you come here to make trouble? And you, Liu Xiaoran, I gave you some face because you are Kang Chengzhi's wife, so you don't even know your last name, right?"

Liu Xiaoran bit her lip: "I just feel wronged! I..."

Kang Chengzhi frowned: "Okay, stop talking!"

"Why can't I say it?" Liu Xiaoran looked down at Kang Chengzhi, her tone questioning: "I'm your wife, I just want to buy some things I need, but I can't spend a penny, what is this? It's not like you don't make money in the Kang family, why does your wife need your brother's consent to spend your money?"

Mingzhu outside the arch raised her eyebrows slightly. Kang Jingzhi was so nice that he actually stopped Liu Xiaoran's card.

As she was thinking, she heard Kang Jingzhi sneer: "So you came to make trouble because you have no money to spend. Every penny Kang Chengzhi earns belongs to the Kang family, and I have the final say in the Kang family. Why do you need my consent to spend money?"

"Then... do you want to control me like this forever?"

Kang Jingzhi said in a light tone: "That's not the case. As the daughter-in-law of the Kang family, you are ruining the reputation of the head of the Kang family. Naturally, you will be punished. In the future, the Kang family's money will no longer be left to you to spend as much as you want like before. You can only receive a fixed amount of 100 yuan in pocket money every month when you eat and live in the Kang family."

Liu Xiaoran was shocked: "100 yuan?"

"Why? Too much? I've inquired about it. This money is enough for a family of five to live on for a month. You do nothing in the Kang family and have no value at all, but you get so much every month. Anyone with a bit of integrity might think it's too much. You don't have to give it up."

Liu Xiaoran's face froze for a moment, and her hands hanging at her side clenched into fists.

What can a hundred yuan do? It's not even enough for the clothes she's wearing now. Kang Jingzhi is clearly... forcing her.

"Oh, right," Kang Jingzhi thought of something and said, "Go back and tell your family that from now on, don't ask for money from the Kang family. My Kang family saved your Liu family from danger, and I don't ask for anything in return, but you should not repay me with evil!"

Liu Xiaoran was a little anxious: "Brother, how can you say that about my family? Back then... you helped my family, but I also married into the Kang family..."

"What? Do you think you are a fairy from heaven who has come down to earth and married down to my Kang family? You should understand clearly that if you had not been lucky enough to save Kang Chengzhi once, your Liu family would never be able to marry into my Kang family even if you had to look up to it for ten lifetimes! Do you really think that you are different from others just because Kang Chengzhi is used to

you? Liu Xiaoran, put away your little thoughts! They are useless in front of me. Over the past few years, your Liu family has treated my Kang family as a sucker. The Kang family spends at least several thousand yuan on your Liu family every year. Do you think that your Liu family is worthy of us?"

Kang Jingzhi was angry, and his eyes were like sharp knives, stabbing Liu Xiaoran with fear.

But thinking back to this morning, when her father came home to ask for money and she couldn't give him any, he slapped her in the face, scolded her for being useless, and told her that no matter how much she begged or how much she made trouble, she had to return the 1,000 yuan home before dark -

she made up her mind: "Yes, our Liu family is not as powerful as the Kang family, but you also said, big brother, I saved Chengzhi, Chengzhi's life..."

Kang Jingzhi interrupted her with a tone that was inherently cold. Kang Jingzhi said to her: "Want to negotiate with me? What a joke! You saved Chengzhi, and I saved your entire Liu family. Isn't that enough? Without me, who knows how many people in your Liu family would have died, and they would have been driven back to their hometown to farm. You talk about favors with me? Now I want your whole family, young and old, to kowtow to me every day, and you deserve it!"

Liu Xiaoran felt guilty. She knew in her heart that the life-saving favor she held in her hands could not control Kang Jingzhi.

But she had no other choice.

The Liu family wanted money, but she didn't have it, so the Liu family would only pester her with even more recklessness.

Now she stayed in the Kang family, with no money and no happiness. What was she trying to achieve?

Kang Chengzhi was a cripple, with only his face to look good. He was really good for nothing. She didn't want to live with him anymore.

Especially... Jiang Qi now had Guan Xia by his side. That woman made her too uneasy.

She would snatch Jiang Qi away. If she really snatched Jiang Qi away, what would she do?

No! Jiang Qi was hers and could only be hers!

The more she thought about it, the colder her heart became, so she just... gave up.

She looked up at Kang Jingzhi, "Brother, since you have devalued me and my family to the point of being worthless and useless, why do you, the Kang family, have to keep me? I don't want to endure it anymore. Today, you either give in and let me return to my previous life; otherwise, I won't live with Kang Chengzhi anymore. Aren't you the head of the Kang family? Then you decide and let me divorce him!"

Kang Jingzhi sneered sarcastically, "Are you threatening me?"

"It's not a threat. Since the Kang family won't give me money and won't take care of the Liu family anymore, why should I continue to stay with your brother? I don't love him! I'm tired of being with him! I don't want to go on like this. I want to beg the Kang family to let me go. I want freedom!"

Kang Jingzhi's face became colder and colder. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Kang Chengzhi suddenly say coldly: "Then leave."
