To Break The Girl

Kang Jun wanted Lu AnLing to stay at the hospital but after hearing what Kang Jun had said to Kang Mingyu, Lu AnLing could not help but be curious about what would happen that night.

By the way Kang Jun was acting, Lu AnLing knew that this was going to be explosive.

In the car, Kang Jun turned to his wife and then to the three kids in the back seat and he said,

"Tonight will be really stressful but I need you all to know that no matter what happens, nothing will change. Your mom and I will always be your mom and dad and your grandpa and uncles will always be just that. We will always be a family."

Kang Jun's words were soft and sweet but at the same time they bore a weight. The weight wasn't unbearable or uncomfortable like chains but warm and enveloping like the hug of a loved one. With this the children understood that something destructive might happen on that night but no matter what they would still be safe because they would still have a family to be with and return to.

Once they got to the Kang Manor, Lu AnLing looked around. It was very quiet and ominous and it remained that way even when Elder Kang, Mo Ruyi, Kang Mu, Kang Nianxi and Kang Liu Ran came into view.

The group sat in the dinning room. They all eyed each other but no one spoke.

When Kang Jun, Lu AnLing and the kids entered the room they saw Feng Zhengyi and Qiao Lan at another side of the table. Kang Nianxi sat beside Qiao Lan and Kang Mu sat beside Feng Zhengyi, however, despite this, Feng Zhengyi and Qiao Lan we're pale as if they were guzzles in a den of lions.

Tang Bingyi and Elder Tang, who were the only Tang's in the Kang house that night due to Tang Yian wanting to spend some time with Lu Xiaoling, decided to go back to their home.

Lu AnLing had gotten a text from Tang Bingyi explaining that they didn't want to be in the way and Lu AnLing understood this. She herself felt like she was going to be in the way, but once she felt Kang Mingyu clutching onto her shirt, Lu AnLing couldn't help but hold onto the boy. She was going to be there for him.

Lu AnLing and Kang Jun sat down along with the kids. Seeing this, Elder Kang eyed the kids.

"They're participating in this too?" The old man asked, his voice filled with utter confusion.

Kang Jun looked at the old man but he didn't say anything else about the kids, instead, he said,

"Where is Liang?"

Elder Kang, picking up on Kang Jun's mannerism, understood that he could not probe the matter of the children and so, he instead followed Kang Jun's train of thought.

Elder Kang: "Liang had some important business to attend to. He said he was going to be late."

Hearing this, Kang Jun simply nodded. If Kang Jun called a meeting, he knew that Kang Liang, of all people, wouldn't miss it unless he had a good reason. Kang Liang always looked up to Kang Jun so he respected him more than anyone.

Seeing that they were only missing Kang Liang and Kang Zhi, Kang Jun decided to start the meeting right then.

Without standing up, Kang Jun placed his hand on the table and said, "I've gathered you all here today for one reason and one reason only. There are some unfortunate things that have happened to both I and my wife for the past couple of years which I must bring to light."

Kang Jun's voice was deep yet hollow, it bore a tone of eminence which made Feng Zhengyi and Qiao Lan feel themselves being crushed. They had both wronged Kang Jun in one way or another... however, it was Qiao Lan who feared the most. She had done so much to Kang Jun during her stay with the Kang family and what was worse, her grandfather had killed Kang Zhi on her behalf. Qiao Lan was devastated but she also feared for her life... on that day, her own mother had even gone up against Kang Jun by driving a car towards Kang Jun and his wife. And despite her worrying about her mother who was unconscious, Qiao Lan felt naked. She had contemplated it but she hadn't committed the sin of murder but knowing that her family had chosen to do it so easily made her skin crawl. The thought made Qiao Lan sick to her stomach.

So whatever Kang Jun was about to say, Qiao Lan couldn't help but think this was the end. And there was nothing she could do about it.

Feng Zhengyi on the other hand was worried but much less. She had not dirtied her hands in any way. It was Rong Yue Wan who had done all the work and planning. If there was one thing she had done, it was provoke the situation but Kang Jun wouldn't know this. At least that was what the old woman believed, so she was confident about not being caught.

The only thing that truly bothered her was that Lu AnLing had not given up on being with Kang Jun. Feng Zhengyi believed she would need to find another way to break the girl...

However, would she ever have the chance?

No.

Kang Jun carefully examined Feng Zhengyi's expression. He could see the woman's pale and worried face change little by little to one of 'innocence' but it was a mask. Deep in her heart she had done wrong and Kang Jun didn't care whether she believed this or not.

"First." Kang Jun said as his eyes locked onto Feng Zhengyi. "Let's talk about the matter of the attempt on my wife's life.As some one you may know, Lu AnLing and I almost got hit by a car today..."

Hearing this, almost everyone, with the exception of Kang Mu, was quiet. They all knew that it was an assassination attempt of sorts. Even Kang Liu Ran knew due to how close Lu Xia was with her cousin, but like always, Kang Mu had been left in the dark.
