Chapter 528 - 527: Sorry?

Kang Xiaoqiao looked at the stunned Miao Yifu and smiled. "Don't you think what I said makes a lot of sense?"

Miao Yifu was initially shocked, but his expression gradually turned worse. In the end, he remained silent.

Kang Xiaoqiao glanced at him with her big eyes. She put down the teacup and stood up. She slowly walked to the window and said indifferently, "Student Miao, do you think that you can just come here and apologize to me and be done with it? Can you bring peace to the world?"

Miao Yifu raised his head and stared blankly at the beautiful and confident girl in front of the window. She even exuded charm every moment. He had never seen her before.

His eyes flickered and he said in a hoarse voice, "Miss Kang, I know that my apology is very weak. If... if it's possible, I'm willing to do anything for you, but can you..."

"Actually, I'm not afraid of this matter being exposed. I know myself well. I've already enjoyed too much preferential treatment from the Miao family. This is too unfair to you. However, the heavens have made such a big joke. I, I also--"

"So, even if I'm ridiculed at most on the day the truth is revealed, my life has already changed from the original trajectory. I can still use my own efforts to strive for more. However, father and mother..."

Speaking up to this point, Miao Yifu did not continue speaking. However, the worry in his heart did not seem to be fake.

Kang Xiaoqiao turned around upon hearing this. Then, she slowly leaned against the window frame and stared at him. To be honest, she was very puzzled. Could it be that the environment was really more important than genes?

What kind of people were the Kang family?

From Kang Xiaoqiao's memories, it could be seen that although they weren't unforgivable, their personalities were weird.

The eldest Kang son was inflexible. He didn't have an opinion and didn't take responsibility. The second son of the Kang family was gloomy, but it couldn't be denied that he was a very capable person. However, Kang Xiaoqiao knew very well that this was a double-edged sword. He was a dangerous person.

And the third son of the Kang family was extremely mean and crafty at such a young age. Mother Kang and Father Kang weren't kind people. How good could a child born and educated by such a person be?

However, it could not be denied that the selfishness and coldness in the blood of the Kang family were imprinted in their bones. As the blood of the Kang family, would this child really be different?

Kang Xiaoqiao never denied that children who grew up in different environments would indeed have great differences in their character, outlook, conduct, and ways of doing things.

However, could this difference really be compared to the inherited genes in the blood?

Kang Xiaoqiao did not quite believe it, so she narrowed her eyes and looked at Miao Yifu. "Then why did you come to me?"

"To persuade me not to make a big deal out of this? But, what can you satisfy me with your current situation?"

"Money?"

Kang Xiaoqiao spread her hands and looked around. "You saw it too. Let's not talk about other things. Just my house alone costs tens of thousands of yuan. I can take it out just like that."

"And, you also know that in my current situation, money probably won't be able to move me."

"But, there's a very good way, and that is for you to marry me. This way, you can not only shut up the public, but also resolve the crisis, right?"

Kang Daqiao's big eyes blinked as she looked at Miao Yifu. When Miao Yifu heard this, he swallowed his saliva. Although there was admiration in his eyes for Kang Xiaoqiao, there was not a trace of greed in them. They were pure and clean.

This made Kang Xiaoqiao sigh. What a good child. She had already seduced him, but he was still like this.

Could it be that he was too young? Or could it be that this person's nature was good?

Actually, Kang Xiaoqiao's suggestion was, to be honest, the best choice for Miao Yifu.

This way, everything would be settled. Not only would it quell the rumors, it would also bring the whole family together. Logically speaking, if Miao Yifu wanted to keep his position, it would be a shortcut.

However, Kang Xiaoqiao did not see any hint of interest in this person's eyes. Could it be that her charm had decreased?

No, she clearly saw admiration in his eyes. Could it be that this person had such good willpower at such a young age?

Or was he afraid of Lu Yichen's deterrence?

Miao Yifu's face turned red when he heard Kang Xiaoqiao's words. He stammered, "No, this way, this way, no, no..."

Kang Xiaoqiao blinked twice when she saw this. "Is it not good? Or is it not good enough?"

"Do you think I'm not beautiful enough? Not beautiful enough? Not good enough for you?"

Miao Yifu quickly waved his hand and shook his head. "No, no, no, no..."

Kang Xiaoqiao heard this and said a little sadly, "Then do you dislike the fact that I've been married before?"

Miao Yifu froze on the spot and looked at Kang Xiaoqiao with his mouth slightly agape. Obviously, he was stunned by Kang Xiaoqiao's words.

What was going on?

Could it be that the other party didn't know that he was married?

Kang Xiaoqiao frowned for a moment before continuing, "Then, are you afraid that Lu Yichen will find trouble with you?"

After saying this, Miao Yifu's big eyes widened as he looked at Kang Xiaoqiao and stammered, "You, you're... You're married? Lu, Lu Yichen is your..."

Kang Xiaoqiao blinked her eyes and said, "Yes, I'm married to Lu Yichen. However, the Lu family doesn't welcome me. They're very picky about me, especially my background..."

Obviously, this news was very shocking to Miao Yifu. He only shut his mouth after a long time. It was hard to tell if he was disappointed or otherwise. In any case, his face was very pale and his expression was very serious.

After about a minute, Miao Yifu laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Miss Kang, don't make fun of me. Since... since you're already married, and you're married to Lu Yichen, then... that's a military marriage..."

"I know, such a request puts you in a difficult position, I..."

Saying this, he sighed, took out a pile of things from his pocket and said, "Everything I have is given by the Miao family. This is all of my savings--"

"I know, this isn't much. You might not care about it, but this is all I have. I know that this can't be salvaged, but this is a token of my appreciation. If it's useful to you in the future, I won't decline."

After saying that, he placed the deposit slip on the table with both hands. Kang Xiaoqiao narrowed her eyes and said, "Are you sure you don't want to consider it?"

Seeing that the other party was still serious, Kang Xiaoqiao sighed and said, "Eh--"

Then, she took the deposit slip and looked at the number inside. She curled her lips and said, "It's not much, but since it's from you, I'll accept it."

"Ah?"
