Chapter 2735 — Xiao Qinlin's Phone Call
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"That's good, then!" Xiao Qinlin was finally reassured. "As long as nothing's wrong, it's fine. Xinran, I'm driving over to pick you up now. Tell me the address, and we'll go to the Xiao family together and explain things to Kang Jinglong."
"Nothing has happened at all, so why should I explain anything to him? Didn't we agree the wedding would be after graduation? Why does it have to be so complicated?" Wang Xinyan frowned. Kang Jinglong really was a little contemptible, she thought, resorting to any trick he could—he had even gone so far as to threaten her parents and family.
"There's no helping it. The Kang family is powerful now, and we can only go." Xiao Qinlin said helplessly. "You don't want your father and me to come to harm over a misunderstanding, do you?"
"Then... come to the entrance of Xueshang Residential Complex. I'll get ready now." Hearing her mother's words, Wang Xinyan nodded in agreement. Yes—she could hardly give Kang Jinglong an excuse to fly into a rage over this, could she?
"All right, I'll be right there!" Xiao Qinlin said.
After hanging up, Wang Xinyan let out a faint sigh. She knew that perhaps she could no longer go on living in Wei Zhao's villa—if she stayed, Kang Jinglong would surely keep pressing and never let it go. But she truly did not want to move out.
She steadied her emotions, then walked out of the bedroom. Seeing that Wei Zhao and the others were not paying her any mind, she feigned composure and said, "Yaoyao, Wei Zhao, my mom's here—she's at the entrance of Xueshang Residential Complex. I'm going out for a bit. I'll be back soon."
"Oh, go on then. Be careful. Do you want me to walk you out?" Wei Zhao really had thought nothing of it.
"No need. It's not that late. I'll take my medicine and go." Wang Xinyan picked up the dose on the table, drained it in one gulp, then waved to Wei Zhao and the others and hurried out of the villa.
Xiao Qinlin rushed over to Xueshang Residential Complex, picked up Wang Xinyan, and headed for the Xiao family villa.
"Xinran, why did you go to Wei Zhao's house? Aren't you just handing Kang Jinglong something to use against you?" Xiao Qinlin said helplessly as she drove.
"Mom, I only went to visit..." Wang Xinyan said quietly.
"Oh, you're Kang Jinglong's fiancée now—don't you know you have to avoid any appearance of impropriety? Any other time would have been one thing, but now Kang Jinglong is in your class too. If you and Wei Zhao are too close, how do you think he'll feel when he sees it?" Xiao Qinlin advised. "Since you're set on marrying Kang Jinglong after graduation, then don't upset him over these little things. Otherwise, once you're married to him, you'll only end up quarreling!"
"Oh..." In her heart, Wang Xinyan had never intended to marry Kang Jinglong at all. She had only been putting it off until graduation because she wanted to watch Wei Zhao grow, step by step, until he reached a height where he could stand against the Xuandan Sect. When that time came, Wang Xinyan would choose to be with Wei Zhao openly and honorably.
