398 397: Make the decision?

It was the circumstance that no matter how hard she tried, she could not overcome. It was a tragedy!

Kang Xiaoqiao had been in society for so many years. Did she not know about this?

Back then, if she did not have her father's support, how could a flower-like girl like her fight for a place in the world?

This world was like this. If a woman wanted to achieve something, she would have to pay more than a man, and it would be more difficult.

Perhaps when she was in her teens or twenties, she had been young and frivolous. However, reality had given her a resounding slap.

Therefore, the smartest thing to do was to remain silent and accumulate strength!

Why was Kang Xiaoqiao willing to give Lu Yichen a chance? Was it really because he was handsome?

Could it be that it had nothing to do with his background?

How was that possible?

Without enough strength, no matter how handsome he was, how could he protect her?

This was the way of the world.

Kang Xiaoqiao couldn't help but laugh at herself. It turned out that she had always been like this, selfish and self-interested. Even in love, she had calculated meticulously to this extent.

Kang Xiaoqiao had never thought of herself as a good person, and she had never thought of herself as a good person, becoming the benchmark of her life. She only wanted to live happily, live comfortably, and live freely.

Although she admitted that she had her own little scheme in this relationship with Lu Yichen, but she couldn't ignore the fact that she had put her heart into Lu Yichen. Although the proportion of her heart wasn't that great, who would have thought that... This relationship had not even warmed up when it was already invaded by the cold current and almost lost its life. Now, it could only struggle on its last breath.

No matter what, even if Lu Yichen wanted to get a divorce now, it would not be an easy matter.

Did he really think that she, Kang Xiaoqiao, was just a decoration?

How could she be bullied like this without power and influence?

Kang Xiaoqiao took a deep breath. Now was not the time to be so serious. Moreover, she had been in charge of everything. After spending so many days together, Lu Yichen was not a heartless person, and the Xia family was not that kind of person... She thought that her safety and survival should not be too much of a threat.

She was just afraid that she would cut off her own flesh when the time came. However, money was a worldly possession. Even if she cut off her own flesh, it was better than losing her life.

There had never been a moment when Kang Xiaoqiao felt so insecure. The more at this moment, the more Kang Xiaoqiao could think of her father's broad shoulders.

The love and protection he gave her had never been discounted, and she never had to worry that it would disappear.

He also would not negotiate with her. Her father's love had always been generous and tolerant, warming her heart. Although that kind of life was gone forever, she really missed it. She really missed it--

Now that her father was gone, she had to rely on herself for everything. Therefore, she had to be careful with every step she took.

Kang Xiaoqiao came to the Xia family home with some anxiety.

When the car stopped, Xia Yunshu ran out and shouted happily, "Little aunt, little aunt, you finally came down. I haven't seen you for a long time."

Kang Xiaoqiao got out of the car and said with a smile, "Really?"

"Is it--"

Before she could finish, Xia Yunshu pouted and said, "Little aunt, don't be so funny. I'm not a child anymore. You--"

Before she could finish, Kang Xiaoqiao took out a snack from her bag and shook it. "Aiya, since you've grown up, then I'll..."

As she spoke, the thing in Kang Xiaoqiao's hand disappeared. Xia Yunshu put it in her mouth and started eating. As she ate, she said, "Delicious, delicious--"

Kang Xiaoqiao covered her mouth and laughed. At this moment, her aunt, Liu Fengxia, also came over and nodded at Xia Yunshu. "You greedy little girl, why aren't you bringing your little aunt into the house? Your great-grandmother is waiting anxiously."

Then, she said to Kang Xiaoqiao, "Xiaoqiao, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your grandmother talks about you every day. Let's go."

Kang Xiaoqiao smiled and nodded. Then, she was led into the house by Xia Yunshu's hand.

As soon as they arrived in the living room, they saw the old lady looking at them expectantly. Then, she shouted, "Aiya, my dear, quick, come to grandmother's side."

Kang Xiaoqiao hurriedly went over and squatted on the ground. However, the old lady held her hand. "Look, look at this child. We haven't seen each other for only two months. How can she be so thin? Child, you've been wronged."

After saying that, she hugged Kang Xiaoqiao and started to caress her back. Kang Xiaoqiao quickly lowered her head and buried her face in the old lady's knee, putting on a sorrowful look.

If the old lady had treated her like this in the first few days, Kang Xiaoqiao would have cried her eyes out. However, after more than two months of buffering, this kind of emotion had been mostly sorted out by her.

She believed that the old lady was sincere to her, but she did not believe it. It had been more than two months, and the old lady only knew about this matter. The more she thought about it, the more she could not remember.

The old lady saw that Kang Xiaoqiao was so meek, so she said pitifully, "Child, you don't have to be afraid. Grandma will make the decision for you."

"That stinky brat, grandma will help you teach him a lesson. He is a married man, how can he let another woman live in his own house? And she is pregnant. How can this be criticized?"

"What is even more infuriating is that he has angered his wife and left, but he did not even go and coax her. This stinky brat is simply asking for a beating."

"Xiaoqiao, grandma has already asked your uncle to teach him a lesson. Don't worry, I will definitely get justice for you."

Kang Xiaoqiao's shoulders trembled as if she was sobbing softly. Her mind was spinning. What was the Xia family playing at?

However, from the looks of it, they were not here to persuade her to leave.

When Kang Xiaoqiao raised her head, her eyes were already filled with tears. After looking at her helplessly, she hugged the old lady's leg and cried. "Grandma -- you, you know, wu--"

Her voice seemed to be filled with endless grievance. Her eyes were filled with endless confusion and helplessness. The tears seemed to be able to drown the house. It made people's hearts ache and hurt.

Kang Xiaoqiao did not cry, neither did she resent, nor did she slander. She did not say anything, and only hugged the old lady's leg and cried helplessly. However, crying also had its own techniques. It was not the kind of crying that used all of its strength, but rather, it was gentle, filled with grievance, sadness, and helplessness. One would not tire of hearing it Instead, one would feel sympathy.

Kang Xiaoqiao did not learn to act, but that did not mean that she did not know how to do it. In fact, crying was a woman's nature. That kind of self-indulgent crying would only be revealed in front of the people closest to her, the people she trusted the most, and crying in front of others... Most of it was disguised.

When the old lady saw Kang Xiaoqiao like this, her heart broke. Although this wasn't her child, Kang Xiaoqiao's understanding had always been engraved in her heart.

What a good child. At this time, she didn't say a single word of resentment. She was thinking about the pregnant woman who lived in Lu Yichen's house. Who was the one who was light-hearted?
