Chapter 676 Why must it be her?

Mingzhu looked at the three little ones staring at the gifts, unable to take their eyes away, and she knew how happy they were to receive so many things at once.

She rubbed Panpan's head: "Don't accept gifts without merit. Since you have accepted uncle's gifts, you must be good friends with uncle and entertain him."

Xiangxiang wondered: "Mom, don't we want to be uncle's godsons and be filial to him in the future?"

Hearing this, Kang Jingzhi's eyebrows brightened a little, and he turned to look at Mingzhu: "Did the Jiang family agree to this? Jiang Duo..."

He wanted to say something stupid, but when he thought of the children, he changed his mouth: "Did that guy agree too?"

Mingzhu shrugged: "Everyone in our family respects the children's wishes. If the children have no objection, we naturally won't object."

Kang Jingzhi immediately asked: "When will we pay homage to our godfather? I think today is a good day."

"That won't work. We can't rush into such a grand event." Mingzhu thought for a moment and said, "If you have time on Sunday, I will treat you to a meal as agreed. Then they will kowtow to you and acknowledge you as their godfather."

Kang Jingzhi was in a good mood and said, "Okay, no problem. Where shall we eat on Sunday?"

"We have no problem with the courtyard or the family compound. It's up to you."

Kang Jingzhi thought of something and said, "Courtyard, but your courtyard hasn't been occupied for a long time. It has to be cleaned up, otherwise I can't get in."

Mingzhu pouted, "I know, it's really troublesome to invite you to dinner, and I have to clean up."

She rubbed the heads of the three little ones and said, "You find a place to sit for a while. After mom and uncle finish talking about business, we can go home."

Xiangxiang looked up at Mingzhu, "But mom, I want to play in the yard."

Panpan agreed, "Me too."

"The artificial lake in the yard is too big. It's too dangerous for the three of you to play outside alone. No."

The two kids were a little disappointed. Kang Jingzhi thought for a while and said, "Then let's go out and talk with them."

Mingzhu was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the person who was difficult to get along with and picky in the eyes of others would actually be so accommodating to children.

The five of them came to the yard together, and the three children returned to the artificial lake where they had just fed the fish.

There was still a lot of fish food that Grandpa Li had just given them, and the three of them were so happy to feed the fish.

Not far behind, Mingzhu and Kang Jingzhi stood side by side, with less than half a meter between them.

The warm breeze blew, bringing Mingzhu's unique fragrance, which made Kang Jingzhi inexplicably have an impossible vision in his heart.

If this were... how great it would be for his family of five.

He was feeling all this carefully. Mingzhu beside him seemed to have thought of something and asked: "Have you found the person who sold the fake Tai Sui to Kang Chengzhi?"

Kang Jingzhi shook his head: "No, Kang Chengzhi said that he found the place where the transaction took place last time, but found that no one lived there anymore, and no one in the neighborhood knew that person."

"There was only one person who sold the Tai Sui? A man or a woman?"

"A man."

Mingzhu raised her eyebrows, wondering how likely it was that this person was Xu Kai: "Does Kang Chengzhi still remember the other party's characteristics?"

"That idiot was so focused on Taisui that he only glanced at the man a few times and didn't remember what he looked like. But I have arranged for someone to continue to inquire. Since Taisui has sold several pieces, there must be a similar victim. Someone must be able to remember the other person's features."

Mingzhu nodded, but when she heard Kang Jingzhi scolding Kang Chengzhi for being stupid, she couldn't help but smile: "Your brother... is a little obsessed with love. Something happened a few days ago. Did he tell you?"

Kang Jingzhi frowned: "Why, did he make a fool of himself because of Liu Xiaoran again?"

"It seems that you still don't know. Then let me share with you. This time it wasn't him who made a fool of himself, but Liu Xiaoran."

Mingzhu doesn't have the habit of keeping secrets from others. Some gossip is suitable for sharing with others.

She told in detail the day when Liu Xiaoran came to the Jiang family to show his goodwill, and what happened afterwards.

"Originally, your brother was right, but a few days ago I asked around and heard that Liu Xiaoran was beaten by your brother and was hospitalized after returning home. Now, everyone who knows the couple is saying that your brother is a bastard and not a human being, saying that Liu Xiaoran is pitiful, and your brother is really... He can make himself unreasonable even if he is right, it's amazing."

Kang Jingzhi's face darkened a little.

Mingzhu continued: "I really think that Liu Xiaoran is not a good person. He is extremely wicked and only uses his evil intentions to scheme against Kang Chengzhi and the Jiang family. Kang Chengzhi is no match for her, so he only uses violence to oppress her and earn himself such a bad reputation."

"Violence?" Kang Jingzhi shook his head, crossed his arms and sneered: "You overestimate that idiot Kang Chengzhi. His temper has been a little bad since he got hit on the leg, but he is not a bastard to the point of using violence to oppress others. What's more, he is sitting in a wheelchair. Even if he wanted to bully Liu Xiaoran, how could he hit her?"

Mingzhu frowned: "Why can't he hit her? That time at the gate of the courtyard, I saw your brother sitting in a wheelchair and hitting her with a cane."

"You said it yourself, that Liu Xiaoran is a smart person. She understands Kang Chengzhi's temper, and she also knows that Jiang Qi was there that day. She wanted Jiang Qi to see how miserable her life is. She wanted to make everyone sympathize with her, and the way is very simple.

As long as he looks at Jiang Qi a few more times, it would be enough to anger Kang Chengzhi. Kang Chengzhi is basically a fake. If he really beat Liu Xiaoran, do you think Liu Xiaoran would still have the courage to plot against that stupid guy so proudly?"

Mingzhu stared at Kang Jingzhi and smiled speechlessly.

Kang Jingzhi also smiled helplessly: "Why, you don't believe me? Yes, Kang Chengzhi has been notorious for beating his wife due to Liu Xiaoran's incest in recent years, so it's understandable that you don't believe it.

But in fact, before his leg was injured, no, I should say, before he got married, his temper was still good. I didn't think he was stupid at that time. After all, he was very good at business. It's just... he met the wrong person."

"Who said I don't believe it? I actually believe it. After all, Liu Xiaoran looks so proud, she doesn't look like someone who has really been abused."

She used to work in the emergency room and had seen many women who had been abused. They were timid and even dared not look a man in the eye. A single look from a man would make the women so nervous that they would tremble. But Liu Xiaoran was not like that.

But Mingzhu couldn't understand: "I heard that you were the one who helped him choose his wife. Although his legs are not good, with your family's conditions, it is not impossible for him to find a girl from a good family in Beijing and live a peaceful life. Why were you so greedy that you found Liu Xiaoran for him?"

"Me? Do you think I am the kind of person who would meddle in such trivial matters?"

Mingzhu was speechless: "Then... did he choose her himself? Why must it be Liu Xiaoran? Liu Xiaoran is not that beautiful."

"Well, there is indeed some reason..."
