It wasn't that Zhang Lili's mother hadn't investigated Kang Daqiao's background. However, she was a bumpkin and a divorced woman. Even if her brother opened a factory and had some money, and even if her sister married a military officer, a few days ago... What was there to care about a woman who was about to be divorced?
Back then, many people wanted to marry Lu Yichen. She had once asked someone to introduce her daughter to him. However, she didn't expect that in the end, a good young man would marry a girl from the countryside.
This made her extremely angry. At the same time, her impression of Kang Xiaoqiao was quite bad. She had thought that what was done was done. However, she did not expect that the good times would not last long. There was actually a woman who came to find Lu Yichen with a big belly. This matter was known by almost everyone.
So what if this Kang Xiaoqiao went to university? Wasn't her life ruined by someone else? Hmph, that slut Kang Xiaoqiao relied on shameless underhanded means to marry Lu Yichen. Presumably, her sister was not a good piece of cake either.
Wasn't this her good nephew? Now?
He was so bewitched that those two sisters were all b*tches. Bah, did they think that just because they had a few dollars, they were that big of a deal? Did their Lin family lack that little money?
Lin An simply didn't want to say another word to this woman. Although they were family that couldn't be kissed, it was this kind of family that messed up his marriage.
Originally, everything was fine. In the end, he didn't know where Zhang Lili got the rumors from, but she just spouted nonsense from the old lady and made a mess of things. Not only that, she actually went to find trouble with Kang Daqiao. If she hadn't been seriously injured... He wanted nothing more than to reach out and beat her up.
After seeing Zhang Lili, Lin An's face was cold, and he walked toward Kang Xiaoqiao's new factory in an irritated mood.
He could only hope that Kang Xiaoqiao would calm down. Although they had only been together for a short time, he still knew some of this person's personality. He, who had always been smiling, was exceptionally serious today.
...
After the Kang sisters returned home, they hurriedly took off their coats. Kang Xiaoqiao was so cold that she rubbed her hands together and directly climbed onto the kang. Fortunately, the kang was warm.
Kang Daqiao saw the situation and quickly said, "It's cold, right? The weather here is much colder than the capital. Look at what you're wearing."
"Little girl, don't get cold. Hurry up and go inside. I'll cover you with the blanket."
Kang Xiaoqiao obediently did as she was told. It was too damn cold. Her face and hands were about to freeze.
Not long after, Kang Daqiao diligently brought over a basin of warm water and said, "Little sister, quickly come and wash your face and hands."
"It's all my fault that it's cold outside. Look at this fine little face. Your face is full of tears. If you don't wash it in time, it's time for the mountain to rise."
Hearing this, Kang Xiaoqiao shook her head and said with a smile, "Sister, are you sure you're talking about me? I don't know who's the one with tears all over her face, but she still has the nerve to talk about others."
Kang Daqiao's face immediately turned red, while Kang Xiaoqiao said with a smile, "Sister, come and wash it too."
After the two of them finished washing, they sat on the kang together. Kang Daqiao found some melon seeds, peanuts, and pine nuts. The two sisters had not seen each other for a long time, so they naturally had a lot to talk about.
After warming her hands, Kang Xiaoqiao looked at the melon seeds that Kang Daqiao had prepared for her and said, "Sister, eat your food. I can pull them myself."
Kang Daqiao immediately said, "How can I do that? Pulling out melon seeds costs fingernails. Your fingernails are so beautiful. Don't break them. Then, I've already pulled them out for you. Hurry up and eat them."
Faced with her sister who had taken care of her so well in all aspects, Kang Xiaoqiao sighed and said, "Sister, you don't have to take Zhang Lili's matter to heart. I'll take care of it."
Kang Daqiao lowered her head and softly acknowledged.
Kang Xiaoqiao could only sigh and then said, "Sister, tell me. Why didn't you fight back when she said that about you?"
Kang Daqiao heard this and tears started rolling in her eyes. "I--"
After saying one word, she could no longer continue. At this moment, Kang Xiaoqiao looked at her and said, "Sister, it's hard for you to say. I'll help you."
"Is it because Zhang Lili is Lin An's cousin?"
"So, she bullied you, and you just let her. She humiliated you, and you also endured it?"
Kang Daqiao bit her lower lip and didn't say anything. Kang Xiaoqiao's expression turned cold as she said, "Sister, I've told you many times. You're not worse than anyone else. If that Lin An can marry you, it's his fortune."
"Sister, you're different now. You have to fully recognize your identity. You have to know that you're not representing yourself when you go out. You're also representing me, the face of your biological sister."
Kang Daqiao was stunned when she heard that. She looked up at Kang Xiaoqiao in a daze and bit her lower lip. Her expression changed drastically. This was the first time Kang Xiaoqiao said that her actions had lost her face.
That's right, she knew very well how much her younger sister cared about her face. When she thought of this, her face turned pale again. She said very carefully, "Younger sister, I'm... I'm sorry."
That's right, she only thought of herself. Because Zhang Lili was Brother Lin's cousin, she had endured many times. She didn't expect that the other party would go even further and force her into a corner. In the end, she actually humiliated her in front of so many people.
However, because the other party was Lin An's cousin, she... she..
Without even thinking, Kang Xiaoqiao knew that looking at Kang Daqiao like this, Kang Xiaoqiao's expression was also very bad. Did big sister's care about that Lin An already reach such a stage?
It was just a cousin, but big sister couldn't bear to say anything back. She had forced herself to the point of death, but she wasn't willing to hurt the other party.
Kang Xiaoqiao looked at Kang Daqiao, who was like a child who had made a mistake, and said, "What's the use of being sorry? Can being sorry redeem your lost reputation?"
Kang Daqiao bit her lip and didn't say anything. Her face became paler and paler, and Kang Xiaoqiao didn't say anything either. The originally warm atmosphere suddenly became terrifyingly silent at this moment.
Kang Xiaoqiao looked at the melon seeds in her hand, and her emotions were very complicated.
She now knew about the situation of the Lin family. How should she put it? This was indeed a pretty good family. Although the Lin family's population wasn't small, Lin An had his own opinions. Moreover, among the boys of his generation, Lin An was outstanding.
He didn't get married until now because he didn't want to marry. His job was to travel all over the country. He had experience and vision.
The Lin family's ancestors were businessmen. They had never abandoned this identity. Therefore, the Lin family had always been very good at business. Although their positions were not high, their in-laws were very good. In this province, they were considered a medium-sized family.
Moreover, after many years of business, the Lin family's connections were even better than those of high-level families. Lin An was also a resourceful person. After a few years in office, he had made a lot of money for the family. He also did well in business. Of course, where there were advantages... the disadvantages could not be ignored either.
