Chapter 792 — Agree to Him First
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Kang Jingming? What does he want?" Kang Xiaofeng and Kang Jingming had essentially severed all ties. Ever since the Divine Doctor Kang's birthday banquet last time, the two families had stopped having any dealings with each other. That branch of the family could be considered cut off.
"He said he did some wrong things to me before and wants to make it up to me, that he'll give me five hundred thousand..." Xiaofen honestly told Kang Xiaofeng what Kang Jingming's purpose was.
"What? What did you say? He came to your house just to give you money?" Kang Xiaofeng was stunned too. Had Kang Jingming turned over a new leaf? No way, right? For a man like him to come bring Xiaofen money of his own accord—he must have taken the wrong medicine, hadn't he?
"Yes, and he even brought an agreement, saying that once I signed it, he'd give me the money..." Xiaofen said. "The agreement says I can't pursue him for what he did before, and in the future I can't go around telling others about what happened between him and me..."
As Xiaofen said this, she felt somewhat embarrassed; after all, she felt she had let Kang Xiaofeng down over these matters.
Kang Xiaofeng frowned. His first instinct was to have Xiaofen refuse Kang Jingming. We may be poor, but our spirit isn't—taking Kang Jingming's money would only make us look weak and spineless. But he also knew this was no time for stubborn pride. Xiaofen's family was desperately short of money right now, and Kang Xiaofeng knew that too. But unlike Wei Zhao, he couldn't give Xiaofen's family much help, and this sum of money, to a family about to face demolition, was undoubtedly like charcoal sent in the snow!
"Wait while I ask the leader what he thinks?" Kang Xiaofeng decided to ask Wei Zhao's opinion. If Wei Zhao also insisted they shouldn't take the money, then they wouldn't take it—better to endure a bit more hardship.
But when Kang Xiaofeng relayed what Xiaofen had said to Wei Zhao, Wei Zhao answered almost without a moment's thought: "Take it, of course! Free money and you don't want it? Refusing the enemy's money—that's really shortchanging yourself! But tell her not to sign the agreement yet. Wait until we get there and have a look; if there's no problem, then we'll talk!"
"Okay! I'll tell her right away!" Kang Xiaofeng thought Wei Zhao was right—why shouldn't they take the opponent's money? Wei Zhao himself was always chasing after Li Cihua for money and never thought anything of it. It seemed he really had been overthinking things!
To give up the enemy's money for the sake of some meaningless face—that would truly be foolish. Kang Xiaofeng hurriedly told Xiaofen Wei Zhao's opinion, telling her not to refuse, but simply to wait for him and Wei Zhao to come over.
"Oh, okay..." When Xiaofen heard Kang Xiaofeng say that Wei Zhao wanted her to take the money, she actually felt a bit grateful to Wei Zhao! This sum of money was undoubtedly far too important to her family—like charcoal sent in the snow!
Even if Qibing Real Estate could compensate according to the standard today, it would still be a drop in the bucket for each household! Because housing prices in Songshan City were not cheap now—where would you find so many out-of-the-way places to buy?
At the current compensation rate, none of the households could afford a new home at all; they could only rent, and living that way would certainly not be very convenient.
But with this five hundred thousand, Xiaofen's family could buy a decent, fairly large home. Xiaofen was truly afraid Kang Xiaofeng would tell her to refuse—in which case she would have no choice but to refuse!
"Xiaobo says he's coming right away. Why don't you come in and wait a bit—once he arrives and confirms everything, I'll sign the agreement with you." Having gotten Kang Xiaofeng's reply, Xiaofen felt reassured and let Kang Jingming into the house. After all, standing in the corridor was quite improper.
