Chapter 489:what Is There to Congratulate

Xia Chengxuan asked anxiously, “Are you sure? Will he really leave Guangqing Province.

Kang Xiuwan sighed. She knew that Kang Liang had tortured her mother for too long. Xia Chengxuan was traumatized, so she had been living timidly in fear.

Only when it came to matters related to Kang Xiuwan would Xia Chengxuan throw caution to the wind and act bravely.

“Mom, even if you don’t trust me, you should trust Chuchu. Don’t you forget, we are also very close to the Yuan clan now. They will surely help us in secret,

considering their relationship with Chuchu.”

In reality, Kang Xiuwan only said this to comfort Xia Chengxuan.

She was not really that close with the Yuan clan. She didn’t want to always trouble them either.

The Yuan clan might get tired of her if she always asked for favors from them. Moreover, they did not owe her any debts of gratitude, to begin with.

“Is that so? I can now rest my worries,” said Xia Chengxuan, easily convinced by Kang Xiuwan just as usual. “However, we’d better stay home for the next few days. Tomorrow I will instruct someone to send a message to Mr. Chen. He can meet us here in the house if there’s anything to be discussed.”

Kan Xiuwan objected, “No, we can’t do this. God knows how Kang Liang will speak ill of you in Guangqing Province. Mom, you are not like me. You can’t take any rumors and gossip. We should go out and meet Mr. Chen openly.

Don’t be afraid of Kang Liang!’

While speaking, they heard Zhao Chuchu’s voice outside asking, “Has the madam returned yet?”

A mammy answered Zhao Chuchu, “Yes, Mrs. Xie, she has returned. She is in her room now. Please go in.”

“Alright. ”

Zhao Chuchu visited Kang Xiuwan occasionally, so the servants grew familiar with her. Usually, when she came over, the servants would allow her to go to Kang Xiuwan’s room by herself.

“Chuchu is here!” Xia Chengxuan was overjoyed. “With her around, I am at ease.”

“Mom, we can’t depend on her for everything. She is a married woman. She has her own household affairs to worry about,” Kang Xiuwan said helplessly.

Xia Chengxuan replied obediently, “I know.”

“What do you know?” Zhao Chuchu entered the room with a smile. “I purposely made a trip here to congratulate you.”

“What is there to congratulate?” asked Kang Xiuwan.

“The Kang clan no longer exists. Is it not something worth congratulating? Zhao Chuchu asked rhetorically.

Xia Chengxuan was about to sigh when Kang Xiuwan quickly said, “It is indeed good news. In the future, the Kang clan will be unable to suppress our clothing  shop. Chuchu, do you know who did this?”

Zhao Chuchu replied, “I am not sure. It should be the Sikou clan. Who asked Kang Liang to offend Mr. Sikou.”

“He offended Mr. Sikou?”

“Didn’t you know? Two months ago, didn’t I frequent the Kang residence regularly for some time? I was treating Kang Liang’s injuries. He was beaten up pretty badly by Mr. Sikou. He nearly lost his life.”

Xia Chengxuan drew in a cold breath.

Zhao Chuchu continued, “I healed him. Perhaps Mr. Sikou felt he didn’t manage to vent his anger, but since he couldn’t do anything to me, he acted against the Kang clan instead. Don’t you worry about it. You will not be involved in this matter. However, on my way here, I encountered Kang Liang. Did he come here to bug both of you?

“Hmm, he was here. But he was punched by Mr. Chen.”

“Mr. Chen punched him?”

Zhao Chuchu could not imagine such a scene.

Such a tactful person like Mr. Chen had punched Kang Liang?

She cast a suspicious glance at Xia Chengxuan.

Xia Chengxuan immediately understood the meaning behind her gaze. She quickly explained, “Chuchu, nothing is going on between me and Mr. Chen.”

“Ha. I didn’t say that anything was going on between the two of you. I just think it’s strange,” Zhao Chuchu replied with a smile.

She thought to herself, “Maybe Mr.. Chen thinks otherwise?
