Chapter 1019 — Poor Memory: Kang Guifeng's Attitude Stuns Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Not at all, it is only that our Zhaolong is indeed already betrothed to another family, though for the moment I cannot recall to whom, so until everyone finds proof, at least for some time I cannot casually betroth Zhaolong again! What if someone really does have proof and says my Kang family broke faith?" Kang Guifeng said. "So, Brother Xiao Ben, you had best go back and look for proof! Ah, this memory of mine, a man grows old and his head stops working!"
With that, Kang Guifeng turned and walked toward the villa, waving to the Xiao brothers as he went. "I still have matters to attend to, so I will not see you out!"
Xiao Ben's face was dark to the extreme. The situation was now perfectly clear. The Kang family had broken faith! They had cast their Xiao family aside!
Yet one could hardly blame the Kang family for being snobbish, for there was no help for it. After all, the Xiao family was down and out now, and it was only natural for the Kang family to want to break off the engagement! Which great family seeking a marriage alliance would look for a strong arm for itself rather than a burden!
"Hoo..." Xiao Ben sighed deeply and said, "Elder Brother, let us go back. There is no hope!"
"Damn it! You are blind as dogs! Wait till the day our Xiao family rises again, and even if your Kang family begs on your knees, I will not spare you a glance!" Xiao Ji burst out cursing. "Divine Doctor Kang, you old turtle, you go back on your word, you damned old thing who deserves no good death! Screw your ancestors!"
But the Kang family's great gate stayed tightly shut, and no one bothered with them. Clearly Kang Guifeng had no intention of coming out again after going back inside.
"Let us go!" Xiao Ben turned helplessly and walked toward the car.
"Kang family, you just wait, the day will come when you regret this!" Xiao Ji finished cursing and vented his pent-up anger, then followed Xiao Ben into the car and left the Kang villa.
From inside the gate of the Kang villa, Kang Guifeng watched the two Xiao brothers leave with a cold sneer and mocked them with scorn. "The Xiao family? You have already become rats everyone chases in the street, yet you still hope to rise again? Go dream your idle daydreams!"
After Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben got into the car, Xiao Ji kept cursing without pause, every foul word and dialect insult pouring from his mouth, describing the Kang family in the most vicious terms possible, cursing through eighteen generations of their ancestors!
"Enough, Elder Brother, curse no more. Our Xiao family is fated to this!" Xiao Ben sighed and said, "Now we had best think of the Xiao family's future!"
"True!" Xiao Ji nodded. Crude though he was, he knew anger was useless now. Even if he cursed the Kang family over and over, it would do nothing for the Xiao family's present plight.
"Have you found the records of Uncle Pi's birth and origins?" Xiao Ben asked.
"I have already told Xiao Wangba and Xiao Wangdao to search our family logs... but it was so long ago, and with no clear aim, who knows when they will find anything." Xiao Ji said.
"If only Uncle Pi could wake up and speak..." Xiao Ben said after hearing this.
"It is all because of that bitch Gou Huli!" Xiao Ji fumed at the thought of his own wife.
