"Dad! Are you awake?" Kang Zhenguo, who had been sitting next to his father, held his father's hand in surprise when he heard his father's words, and everyone returned to the old man's bedside.
"Where is Shaoxi?" Old Master Kang glanced at his grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law surrounding the bed and asked his son in a calm voice.
"Young Master! Come here! Grandpa is calling you!" Kang Zhenguo immediately waved to his daughter who was not far away, signaling her to come over quickly.
Kang Shaoxi pursed his lips, feeling uneasy. He wanted to turn around and run away, but he knew it was impossible. So he walked slowly to his grandfather's bed and lowered his head and called, "Grandpa..."
Mr. Kang waved to Yu Xiao who was standing on the other side: "Xiao Xiao, come here too..."
Yu Xiao didn't know what was going on, but when he heard the old man calling him, he immediately ran over: "Grandpa, what do you want?"
“Shaoxi, you... kneel down!” Grandpa Kang looked at his granddaughter and said coldly. Although his voice was not loud, it revealed an irresistible force.
"Dad! Your health is not very good right now. Can we talk about it when we get home?" When Liu Xiaoyun saw this situation, she hurried to her daughter and looked at Grandpa Kang pleadingly, hoping that he would not make things too embarrassing.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Kang Zhenguo was also confused by his father's behavior.
Kang Shaoxi stood there, nervous and at a loss.
"Kneel down! Cough cough..." Mr. Kang got angry, his blood pressure rose again, and he couldn't help coughing.
"Grandpa, I was wrong!" Kang Shaoxi knew that he couldn't escape this time, so he knelt down in front of Yu Xiao with a plop, tears falling.
When this scene happened suddenly, everyone looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what was going on.
“Grandpa, what’s wrong with you? Shaoxi didn’t do anything wrong…” Faced with such a scene, Yu Xiao was a little at a loss, not understanding why Grandpa Kang did this.
"Let her speak for herself! What did she do to offend her sister-in-law?" Grandpa Kang's fingers began to tremble again with anger.
"Don't make your grandpa angry anymore. Tell me what happened." Kang Zhenguo understood something after listening to his father. It seemed that his daughter had done something to let Yu Xiao down and let her father know the truth.
As soon as Kang Zhenguo finished speaking, everyone looked at Kang Shaoxi in silence.
"I... I... I asked someone to... knock my sister-in-law down the stairs because she was pregnant..." Kang Shaoxi lowered his head. Although his voice was very low, everyone heard it clearly.
"What did you say? Say it to me again!" Kang Zhenguo got angry when he heard it, and yelled at his daughter.
Others looked at Kang Shaoxi in disbelief, not understanding why she would do such a cruel thing to Yu Xiao. Ai Qi, who was already six months pregnant, nervously touched her bulging belly, feeling a little frightened.
"Dad! I'm sorry, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong... Grandpa! Grandpa, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again..." Kang Shaoxi knelt down and crawled to his grandfather's bed, crying with tears streaming down his face.
"The ones you should say sorry to the most are not us!" Grandpa Kang looked at his granddaughter with disappointment.
"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! I'm sorry! You... hit me! I was wrong! It's all my fault!" Kang Shaoxi cried and hugged Yu Xiao's legs, apologizing continuously.
Yu Xiao listened to Kang Shaoxi's words and thought about her child, feeling mixed emotions. But she knew that no matter how sad she was, she couldn't lose her temper at this time. She reached out to help Kang Shaoxi up: "Get up, let the past be the past!"
"Dad! Calm down, Shaoxi has already apologized." As soon as Liu Xiaoyun saw his daughter stand up, he immediately stepped forward to plead for her.
Old Master Kang closed his eyes and waved his hand: "I don't want to see her, let her go!"
Kang Zhenguo frowned and waved at his daughter. Kang Shaoxi wiped her tears and ran out of the ward. Liu Xiaoyun felt sorry for her daughter and wanted to chase her, but Kang Zhenguo grabbed her.
Mr. Kang looked at Yu Xiao and waved, motioning her to sit down beside the bed. Yu Xiao immediately came over and sat down, holding Mr. Kang's hand: "Grandpa!"
"Xiaoxiao! Marrying our Shaonan... is unfair to you!" Grandpa Kang looked at his granddaughter-in-law with a face full of shame.
"Grandpa, I'm really fine! Besides, I'm still young and there will be opportunities in the future!" Yu Xiao looked at Grandpa Kang and smiled slightly, hoping that he would not take this matter too seriously.
Mr. Kang nodded with satisfaction and looked at his eldest grandson Kang Shaonan beside him: "Shaonan, you must treat your wife well in the future, do you hear me?"
"Grandpa, don't worry!" Kang Shaonan put his arm around his wife's shoulders and nodded in promise to his grandfather.
"Hmm..." Mr. Kang nodded with relief, looked at his family standing by the bed, raised his hand and waved: "I'm fine, everyone go back!"
Seeing that his father was fine, Kang Zhenguo asked his son and daughter-in-law to go back and take care of their own business. Kang Shaonan happened to be on vacation and strongly requested to stay. Kang Zhenguo understood his son's filial piety and let him go. Yu Xiao had already asked Shen Yimo for leave, so he stayed with Kang Shaonan to accompany his grandfather.
As soon as the person left, the ward became quiet. Old Man Kang looked at Yu Xiao who was sitting beside the bed, still feeling a little guilty: "Xiao Xiao, our Kang family is sorry for you..."
"Grandpa, I'm really fine. When I recover, you will have a great-grandson." Yu Xiao comforted the old man softly, and her heart was warmed by Grandpa Kang's actions today.
"Hey... why did this young lady do this?" Grandpa Kang shook his head, puzzled by his granddaughter's behavior.
Kang Shaoxi ran out of the hospital crying. She felt helpless. Because she didn't drive when she came, Kang Shaoxi stood at the gate of the hospital and wanted to hail a taxi, but she found that she didn't know where to go. She definitely couldn't go home. It was impossible for her to go to her friend Shen Xinrou's house with Shen Yimo in her current state. While she was hesitating, her cell phone rang. She took it out and looked at it. It was Fu Zihao calling.
The moment she saw the name, her mind suddenly cleared up. Before sending grandpa to the hospital, she heard some of the causes of the incident from her mother. Later, what grandpa said in the ward made her instantly understand what happened. In addition to her good friend Shen Xinrou, only Fu Zihao knew that she had hired someone to hit Yu Xiao. Now it seems that he must have done it. When she thought of this, she couldn't wait to press the answer button.
"Fu Zihao, are you proud now? You are a bastard! You are a scumbag!" Kang Shaoxi collapsed and cursed into the phone.
"Kang Shaoxi, are you sick? Tell me clearly, what did I do to make you treat me like this?" Fu Zihao yelled angrily on the phone.
"Fu Zihao, just pretend! You sent the photo of me hiring someone to hit Yu Xiao to my grandfather, and now he's in the hospital, and he kicked me out. Are you feeling proud now? Fu Zihao, what good can you get from treating me like this?"
"Kang Shaoxi, stop talking nonsense! When did I send photos to your grandfather? I tell you! I didn't do it! Don't people else know about that except me? What makes you sure I did it?" Fu Zihao was furious on the phone.
"It was you who did it!" Kang Shaoxi was certain that it was Fu Zihao who did it. Apart from him, there couldn't be anyone else.
"Okay! Kang Shaoxi, come to my office now. I wanted to keep it a secret from you, but now that you've said it, I'll let you see if it was me who did it! I have evidence here. If you don't dare to come, don't yell at me!"
"Go ahead, who's afraid of you?" Kang Shaoxi hung up the phone fiercely, hailed a taxi on the roadside, and headed towards Fu Group.
In less than 20 minutes, Kang Shaoxi rushed to Fu Zihao's office, slammed the door, walked up to him and glared at him: "Fu Zihao, how did I offend you? Why do you treat me like this?"
Fu Zihao stood up from the leather chair, looked at her and smiled, then reached out and picked up an envelope from the table and threw it in front of Kang Shaoxi: "Before you scold me, take a look at what's in it first, then it's not too late to scold me!"
"Hmph! Let's see what other tricks you can play." Kang Shaoxi snorted coldly, picked up the envelope on the table and pulled out a stack of photos from it.
Looking at Yu Xiao above, she was stunned for a moment, then quickly read all the photos in disbelief. Her angry face slowly turned into confusion: "You mean... Yu Xiao... did this?"
The turn happened too quickly, and Kang Shaoxi was unable to comprehend it for a while.
"Let me ask you a question. If I did this and you were kicked out of the Kang family, what good would it do me? I'm a businessman. Besides liking you, another reason for getting engaged to you is the influence of your Kang Group. If I get you kicked out of the house, you'll lose a very good business partner. No matter how stupid I am, I wouldn't be that dumb, right?" Fu Zihao walked up to her, put his hand on her shoulder and rubbed it slowly a few times, and his voice softened.
"But... why did she do this?" Kang Shaoxi's brain short-circuited.
"You are such a smart girl, can't you think of it? You killed her child. Now that she knows the truth, she will definitely seek justice for her child. You don't think she will really let you go, do you?"
"But... where did you get these photos? Why did you spy on her?"
"Come, I'll tell you in detail!" Fu Zihao put his arm around her shoulders and sat down on the sofa.
"You'd better explain it to me!"
"That's right! I've always felt that it's a little inappropriate for Yu Xiao to be your sister-in-law."
"Why do you say that?" This was pretty much what she thought.
"What kind of family is your Kang family? Grandpa is a commander, your father is the chairman of the Kang Group, and your eldest brother is the head of a regiment. It is very likely that he will become a division commander in the future. It is not impossible for him to reach your grandfather's position! With your family's financial resources and social status, this Yu Xiao is not worthy of you in any way. I have checked her family. Her father set up a shell company. A few days ago, he owed more than 2 million yuan in debt and is about to go bankrupt." (To be continued)
