Lin An's words were very sincere, but it was not easy to manipulate.
It was easy to deceive an innocent girl like Kang Daqiao, but to deceive Kang Xiaoqiao, he still had to wait.
Thus, the corner of Kang Xiaoqiao's mouth curled up slightly, and she said with disdain, "Brother Lin, we've been together for quite some time, and we've always been quite happy working together."
"I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Do you think your words are trustworthy? Are you sure you don't treat me like a child?"
Lin An's expression changed immediately. Before he could explain, Kang Xiaoqiao reached out her hand and acted like an invisible superior.
She said with a cold face, "No need to explain, Brother Lin. Do you think Zhang Lili can just come over and apologize? Let me tell you, it's impossible."
"I think you know my sister's personality after such a long time. She, Zhang Lili, is too ruthless. If she simply bullied someone, it would be fine. But what about her? She wants my sister to die. She wants my sister to die."
"All along, there has been a harsh prejudice against women in this society. In today's society, a divorced woman is a symbol of extreme evil. It took me a lot of effort to get my sister to let go. I thought of a way to make my sister happy and find her a cram school. I hope that she can walk out of this."
"But what about her, Zhang Lili? She actually insulted my sister in front of all my sister's classmates. She scolded my sister to the point that she's worthless. She said that my sister is delusional. With her status, she's not fit to be her cousin-in-law."
As Kang Xiaoqiao said this, she paused for a moment and looked at Lin An. "What status does my sister have?"
"Is she really not qualified to be your, Lin An's, wife?"
When Lin An heard this, he immediately wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "Sister Xiaoqiao, my cousin, she, she--"
"Her words can't represent me. Really, she can't represent me in the first place. I know what kind of person she is. How is it that she's not worthy of me? I'm clearly not worthy of her. Sister Xiaoqiao, calm down. If there's anything, we can discuss it."
In the end, Kang Xiaoqiao waved her hand and said, "There's nothing to discuss."
"Brother Lin, on account of our past friendship, I won't make things difficult for you. However, that Zhang Lili has her own place to go."
"As for the matter between you and my sister, I think it's better to forget about it."
Lin An heard this and became anxious. He immediately widened his eyes and said, "No, how can we forget about it?"
Then, he looked at Kang Daqiao with a very bad expression and said, "Miss Daqiao, are you going to say something? I know that it was my fault this time. I didn't discipline my own cousin well. I really didn't know that she would be like this. If I knew, I definitely wouldn't allow her to be so impudent."
"Sister Daqiao--"
After hearing this, Kang Daqiao's tears flowed down her face. She was even in tears. However, she didn't dare to raise her head. She was afraid. She was afraid that after taking a glance, she--
She couldn't.
Kang Daqiao didn't express her stance. Lin An's brows furrowed even more. Then, he looked at Kang Xiaoqiao and said, "Sister Xiaoqiao, the matter between your sister and I is a private matter between the two of us. As your sister, you're stretching your hand too far."
"Yes, this time it's my cousin's fault. However, you can't kill everyone with one blow. She is her and I am me. She can't represent me. She has been willful since she was young. I admit that this matter started because of me and made Sister Daqiao suffer. However, I promise you that I will definitely seek justice for Sister Daqiao."
"However, the engagement can not be canceled no matter what."
Kang Xiaoqiao looked at Lin An coldly and said, "What engagement? Where did the engagement come from?"
Lin An was stunned on the spot when he heard that. Kang Tianhai finally understood everything and immediately took a step forward. He blocked Lin An's line of sight and said, "My little sister can say whatever she wants. If she says there's no engagement, then there's no engagement."
"Brother Lin, please be careful with your words. Although my elder sister is divorced, it's not to the extent that she can't get married. It's not a gentleman's doing to ruin a lady's reputation like this."
Lin An was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. The Kang siblings were united and he had become a bad person. When he came, he knew that this matter would not be easy. If Kang Xiaoqiao was not around, it might be easier to settle things. However--
He was also clear about Kang Daqiao's character and he was afraid that he could not count on her now. After letting out a huge breath, he calmed his expression and said, "Sister Xiaoqiao, I am sincere towards your sister."
"I am not lying. After so many years, I have met many women. However, I have never met a girl with such a good character like your sister. I like this type of girl."
"I want to marry your sister. It is not a spur of the moment. I am very serious and I have already prepared the betrothal gifts. I am just waiting to meet you in the capital the next time to discuss this matter in detail."
"But what I never expected was that someone leaked the news to my mother, causing them to be biased against Daqiao. I've been trying my best to convince my family these days. Honestly, I've never looked down on anyone."
To be honest, Lin An's words came from the bottom of his heart. Kang Daqiao's eyes were about to swell from crying. When she heard it, she couldn't help but slowly raise her head. Unfortunately, she quickly lowered her head again.
Kang Xiaoqiao saw that Lin An was speaking so earnestly and put down her strong stance. She sighed and said, "Brother Lin, didn't you say that I, Kang Xiaoqiao, was unreasonable and wanted to break up the couple?"
"Look at my sister--"
"My sister was married and had an unfortunate marriage. At that time, our family was still very weak and made my sister suffer a lot. I believe that you have investigated the details and it's not convenient for me to say more."
"However, it's different now. Whether it's my identity or the family's conditions, it's enough for my sister to live a good life and live a carefree life."
"I originally wanted to find a husband for my sister and live in my house. With our family watching over her, it would save my sister from suffering and the trouble of getting along with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law."
"To be honest, when I heard about the matter with you, I didn't agree with it at all. However, it was rare for my sister to like someone, so I thought I would just watch and talk about it."
"But now? My sister was almost killed by your family, and this is just a distant cousin--"
"I know a little about what your family is like. Such a big family, each and every one of them has a lot of thoughts. What do you expect my sister to do?"
"Take your mother's disagreement as an example. As far as I know, at least two or three groups of people have talked about this matter in front of your mother. How can I be at ease marrying my sister to you in such a complicated family?"
