Lu Yichen quickly took the things in the trunk into the house. When he went out, he saw the two sisters warming each other up. He sighed and said, "I still have things to do in the department. I'll leave first."
Kang Xiaoqiao glanced at him and nodded. No one had expected to encounter such a thing when they came back. Now that she looked at the defeated Kang Daqiao, Kang Xiaoqiao felt even worse.
Kang Xiaoqiao gently coaxed Kang Daqiao, "Sister, your injury needs to be treated. Let me take you to the bathroom, okay?"
Kang Daqiao did not say anything, but her eyes were still dazed.
Kang Xiaoqiao frowned and said, "Sister, say something. Say something to me--"
Kang Daqiao still did not say anything. That gray aura told Kang Xiaoqiao that she did not want to live anymore. She wanted to die.
When Kang Xiaoqiao saw that, she was anxious. She tugged at Kang Daqiao and said carefully, "Sister, don't think too hard. She is like that. It hasn't been a day or two. What hope do you still have for her? It's not worth it to be sad for such a person."
Kang Daqiao's face turned ashen when she heard that. She said indifferently, "Xiaoqiao, tell me, why do I have such a hard life? Why am I so unlikable?"
"Mother wants me to die with my reputation ruined, and the in-laws want to beat me to death. What did I do wrong? Why do they all want me to die? Why? Why?"
"Ha, what's the point of me living? What's the point of me living?"
Kang Xiaoqiao widened her eyes when she heard that. "Sister, don't be stupid. What has it got to do with you if they don't like you? That's their problem. Why are you so stupid to punish yourself with other people's mistakes?"
"Sister, listen to me. You don't have to care about them. They are a bunch of heartless ingrates. Why do you have to make things difficult for yourself?"
"Sister, even if other people don't like you, you still have me. Xiaoqiao likes you. Xiaoqiao can't be without sister..."
When Kang Daqiao heard that, her tears fell, but there was no life in them. It was as if she was a duckweed without roots. No one loved her, no one cared about her. No matter how hard she tried, it was impossible for others to like her. There was no hope for her to live... The person who went through all the trouble was determined to die.
She slowly raised her head. The wounds on her neck and face were shocking. Kang Daqiao did not even have the strength to raise her hand. She looked at Kang Xiaoqiao with tears and a smile.
"Xiaoqiao, live well. When I see that you are living well, I will be at ease..."
When Kang Xiaoqiao heard this, her heart ached and her brain worked quickly. There was nothing to miss about Kang Daqiao's short life, except for her persistence towards her sister. It was as if--
When she thought of this, Kang Xiaoqiao's eyes lit up. Then, she whispered something into Kang Daqiao's ear. Immediately, the crying Kang Daqiao's eyes changed. She looked straight at Kang Xiaoqiao and said, "Little sister, what did you say? Say it again?"
Seeing this, Kang Xiaoqiao put on an aggrieved look and said, "Sister, then you have to go to the bathroom with me. I'll help you treat your wound first. Otherwise, I won't say anything."
Kang Daqiao couldn't help it. She followed Kang Xiaoqiao to the bathroom anxiously and helplessly. Then, she began to disinfect and apply medicine to her external injuries. It had to be said that Kang Daqiao was really a pitiful person.
The injuries on her body were getting more and more serious each time. Moreover, they were all on the face. How could she go out to meet people? It was clear that Mother Kang had sinister intentions.
She was probably sure that Kang Daqiao had someone outside, so she wanted to disfigure her and see who else she could seduce.
Kang Xiaoqiao said softly while taking the medicine, "Sis, this is a little painful. Bear with it--"
Kang Daqiao didn't say anything. She only clenched her hands into fists when it hurt. Kang Xiaoqiao pretended not to see it. Although she couldn't bear it, she had to disinfect it.
For the sake of Kang Daqiao's fighting spirit, Kang Xiaoqiao blinked and said, "Sis, I really feel that today's matter is not simple. I'm afraid that someone deliberately lured people here to deal with me. So, you have to tell me the cause and effect."
Seeing this, Kang Daqiao's face was anxious, and her eyes lit up. She said fiercely, "Deal with you?"
Seeing this, Kang Xiaoqiao immediately continued, "Yes, there must be someone who wants to deal with me. Sister, I told you before I left that anyone who wants to look for me or you is not allowed to enter."
"But, look, the Kang family still came with a big fanfare."
Hearing this, Kang Daqiao's eyes were full of anger. Then, she grabbed Kang Xiaoqiao and said, "S-little sister, who wants to harm you?"
Kang Xiaoqiao frowned and said, "Sister, don't move around. You're still being drugged."
Kang Daqiao paused and said anxiously, "Don't worry about me for now. Little sister, tell me, who wants to harm you?"
Kang Xiaoqiao looked at Kang Daqiao's anxious expression and her heart could not help but feel warm. Then, her eyes flashed. She said with a somewhat aggrieved expression, "There are many people who want to harm me. Sister, Lu Yichen is so outstanding. There are many people who like him. They even don't hesitate to kill me."
Then, she told Kang Daqiao about her trip to the provincial capital. After Kang Daqiao heard it, she completely turned from a defeated person to anger. Her eyes were filled with fire as she clenched her fists. She gritted her teeth and said, "Who is it? Who has such a vicious heart? My little sister is such a good lady. Who wants to harm you and let you die?"
"No, no, little sister. This is too dangerous. Why don't we... why don't we leave?"
Kang Xiaoqiao was a little stunned when she saw how frightened Kang Daqiao was. Did she make it sound too serious and scare her?
However, since she had changed, it was good that she was not discouraged. Therefore, she immediately said, "Sister, where can we go? The two of us girls will be even more miserable if we leave this place."
"We can't go back to our parents' house. With our mother's attitude, how can we have a place to stay? I'm afraid that if we go back, we will be sold."
"The outside world is indeed big, but there are also dangers everywhere. Sister, I'm the only one who looks so good. What do you think..."
Kang Xiaoqiao had never thought that her beauty would be used this way one day. However, no matter what, Kang Daqiao immediately realized this when she heard it.
Her husband's family did this for a living. She saw it clearly from afar. She would never let her beautiful sister end up like that.
Therefore, she hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, no, you can't leave. No matter what, brother-in-law is an officer. He can still protect you. If we go out, the consequences will be... But, little sister, who wants to harm you?"
Kang Xiaoqiao pondered for a moment. Her eyes were filled with tears, sadness, and fear as she said, "So, sister, you have to help me. Since young, you have doted on me the most. You can't leave me alone."
When Kang Daqiao heard this, she immediately grabbed Kang Xiaoqiao's hand and said, "Little sister, don't worry. I won't leave you alone. I will protect you well. I will definitely not let these people succeed."
After saying this, her eyes were filled with a fierce light. When Kang Xiaoqiao saw this, she heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her sister still cared about her.
However, she was not making wild guesses. The Kang family being able to enter the family courtyard was definitely not a coincidence...
