Jiang Boya pressed his lips together, saying nothing.
"Let me put it this way, if you truly have something you’re hiding from me, I hope you can tell me truthfully. That way we can have some order. Otherwise, once I find out about it, I can’t guarantee the consequences."
His eyes were clear and transparent, and Kang Li’s expression was calm, his tone equally mild, revealing no trace of fluctuation.
But Jiang Boya detected how serious Kang Li was; his lips moved, and he chose to reveal half and conceal half.
"There’s a bit of a grudge between our family and the Davis Family, but the relationship hasn’t completely broken down. To prevent accidents and not want to burden you, your grandfather and I opted not to tell you about it."
"Is Mr. Jiang worried that the Davis Family might kidnap me?"
"Yes."
"But outsiders don’t know about my identity."
"There are many people in the estate, you never know who might accidentally spill the beans."
"What kind of grudge?"
Kang Li lowered her eyelids slightly, rubbing her chin. After a moment, she raised her eyes to look at Jiang Boya.
"The marketplace is like a battlefield."
Jiang Boya hoped that his words would discourage Kang Li from asking further questions.
In fact, upon hearing this, Kang Li indeed didn’t pursue the matter further.
"I understand."
Kang Li nodded thoughtfully and then said, "I’m going to rest in my room. Mr. Jiang, you should get some sleep early too." He escorted Kang Li to the doorway, watching her push open the adjacent door and walk inside. Only then did Jiang Boya’s tense nerves relax.
Having been overpowered by a woman was already humiliating enough to tell the old man; mentioning it to his daughter was utterly unimaginable.
Casually closing the door, Jiang Boya walked back and forth several times in his bedroom, unable to calm his heart.
Lisha Davis!
Damn woman, not only did she take advantage of him, but also caused a life, and that’s not all, but why did she have to bring trouble to him?
Forcing him to lie to his precious daughter now!
His face shifting colors, Jiang Boya felt disgusted with Miss Davis, thinking she was out of her mind, choosing to keep a child under those circumstances...
Stopping suddenly, Jiang Boya rubbed his forehead fiercely, swearing to himself that if Lisha Davis ever tried anything once she knew Kang Li’s identity, the Davis family would be erased from the business world!
A flash of malice passed through his eyes, and Jiang Boya collected his emotions, taking out a robe and entering the washroom.
...
"Stop the car!"
"Does Comrade Kang know her?"
Upon hearing Kang Li’s words, Zhou Heng asked.
"Yes."
Kang Li nodded, glanced at Song Sa, then looked toward Zhang Lei and Zhou Heng, saying without much emotion, "She counts as an acquaintance." Silence ensued for a moment before Kang Li instructed Zhang Lei, "If she wakes up, do not mention me to her."
Zhang Lei said, "Comrade Kang wants to send her back to her country via our embassy?"
Kang Li softly replied, "Yes," turning to Zhang Lei, "Her name is Xu Chunxia, she’s from..." Indeed, the woman lying by the roadside, unconscious, was none other than Xu Chunxia.
"Alright, I’ll proceed as Comrade Kang instructed."
Noting the origin and specific address of Xu Chunxia’s residence as told by Kang Li, Zhang Lei and Zhou Heng carried her to the car behind.
Song Sa suddenly said, "She’s your fellow villager." It wasn’t a question; she used a declarative sentence.
"From the same village."
Kang Li replied.
"Why did she come overseas?"
Song Sa was simply curious.
