After a pause, Kang Wan turned to Mo Zhu arrogantly and said, âHave you heard of the Kang family in Beijing? Iâm the daughter of the Kang family.â
After saying this, Kang Wan continued to look at Old Guo. She was waiting to see the old man in front of her tremble in fear when he heard the Kang family. She didnât expect him to not even look up when he heard this. He continued to eat the porridge in his bowl indifferently.
After finishing the bowl of porridge, Old Guo glared at Kang Wan coldly with a hint of displeasure on his face. âAre all the children that Kang Nian taught as rude as you? Back then, I was the one who saved his life. Now, heâs allowing his granddaughter to snatch my discipleâs fiancé, Send him a message
later and ask him to wait obediently in the Kang family. Iâl have to find him to clarify this matter sooner or later.â
Upon hearing the old manâs words, Kang Wan opened her mouth in surprise. To say the name Kang Nian so casually, it seemed like the two of them had really interacted before.
Kang Nian was the head of the Kang family and Kang Wanâs grandfather. Although he had already given most of the management rights to the younger generation in the family, the reason why the Kang family could have such a prominent position in Beijing was because of Kang Nian. Therefore, to the
Kang family, the one who had the true power had always been Kang Nian.
Kang Wan never expected that she would meet an old acquaintance of her grandfather in a small place like Cloud City. Furthermore, this person was the master of that lousy girl, Mo Zhu!
Elder Guoâs words also surprised Huo Xuan. He had thought that as Mo Zhuâs master, Elder Guo would definitely know many important people, but he didnât expect the old man to describe his relationship with the Kang familyâs master so nonchalantly. Furthermore, he looked like he didnât care about the
Kang family at all.
While Old Guo was talking to Kang Wan, Huo Xuan quietly leaned close to Mo Zhu. He raised his eyebrows and deliberately lowered his voice as he said, âI didnât expect Master to have saved the life of the Kang familyâs master. Impressive, impressive!â
When Mo Zhu heard this, she swallowed the porridge in her mouth and replied indifferently, âThis is just the tip of the iceberg.â
Although Mo Zhu had grown up ina poor and remote place like Qingyuan Village, she had gained a lot of knowledge from Elder Guo. During the days when Elder Guo taught her medicine, not only did he impart knowledge to her, he had also told her many secrets of the noble families.
She knew that Elder Guoâs identity was definitely not ordinary, but there was a reason why the old man didnât say it, and she couldnât be bothered to ask. It was only until the last time when Gao Rong invited him to the Gao family as a guest because of the Soul Returning Herb that Mo Zhu realized that his
status in the various families was actually not low.
As for the Kang family, they could not compare to the Gao family, which had a lot of experience and had once been ranked on the list of biggest families in Beijing. They could not compare to the top of the Huo familyâs new generation either. With Old Man Guoâs experience, he naturally looked down on
them.
Kang Wanâs eyes were red with anger when she heard Elder Guo asking her to pass the message to her grandfather so brazenly and even accuse the Kang family of being uneducated. She clenched the bowl in her hand coldly and reprimanded, âYou! Even if you had a relationship with my grandfather
before, you canât describe the Kang family like this!â
Seeing that the little girl in front of him was furious at him, Old Guo smiled and replied, âWhy? Not to mention that Iâm teaching Kang Nianâs granddaughter on his behalf today, even if your grandfather is here now, I can scold him if I want. No one can stop me.â
Kang Wan was furious from Old Guoâs words. Although she was angry now, she had also carefully considered that this old man might really have a good relationship with her grandfather, so she didnât dare to say anything nasty to anger him.
If he was unhappy and complained about her in front of her grandfather who has immense power in the Kang family, she would definitely not have a good life in the future.
Thinking of this, Kang Wan frowned and turned her gaze to Mo Zhu. No wonder this girl had always been fearless since the start. So she had such an unfathomable old man backing her up. It seemed like she had really underestimated her!
Kang Wan was extremely angry, but she did not dare to say anything. She lowered her head and ate angrily. She ate twice her usual portion.
After breakfast, Uncle Zhang still drove Mo Zhu and Kang Wan to school as usual before sending Huo Xuan to the company..
