Chapter 3158 — Tianchan's Heart's Desire
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
This was no joke; it was entirely possible!
Of course, Tianchan had omitted a portion of this file and had not given it to Xiao Taohong. Nearly everything Xiao Taohong saw concerned Kang Xiaofeng, with only a few scattered scraps of news about Wei Zhao attached.
"Kang Jingming... so he was this kind of man?" Xiao Taohong's eyes filled with fury as she read. She had once been utterly bewitched by Kang Jingming; looking back now, she had been such a fool!
"Xiao Taohong, you've finally seen through him?" Tianchan shook her head. "Kang Jingming is consumed by greed for gain. From the moment he joined the Xuandan Sect, I felt there was something rotten in his nature. But you liked him, so I said nothing. Now it seems it's a blessing you two never went further; otherwise you would have suffered for it in the end. One day, if Kang Jingming finds a more powerful patron, he will cast aside even Little Eleven and Ancestor Xuanchen just the same!"
"Alas, Young Sect Master, if not for you opening my eyes, I would still have thought Kang Jingming had no choice in the matter." Xiao Taohong sighed. She had never imagined that her beautiful first love would end so cruelly, dying before it could even begin. From now on, she would be wiser and would not trust others so easily.
"Good. Pack your things and go to Kang Xiaofeng's company. Kang Xiaofeng is a decent sort; if he takes a liking to you, it could be a fine match." Tianchan's impression of Kang Xiaofeng was rather good. Besides, how bad could one of Wei Zhao's underlings be? And there was another purpose behind Tianchan's arrangement: she hoped, through Xiao Taohong and Kang Xiaofeng, to make contact with Wei Zhao.
Since Kang Xiaofeng truly was a good man, and the ancient sects made no fuss over the distinction between a first wife and a lesser wife, Tianchan felt this would be a fine destination for Xiao Taohong!
"Huh?" Xiao Taohong was suddenly struck dumb. She had not expected Tianchan to tell her to get close to Kang Xiaofeng, and her cheeks flushed with shyness. Xiao Taohong was not one to confuse right and wrong; reading Kang Xiaofeng's profile, she could tell he was a fine man. Set beside Kang Jingming, it was simply one in the heavens and one beneath the earth!
It would be impossible to say Xiao Taohong felt nothing for such a man. But having just suffered a wound in love, it was not easy for her to step out of the shadow all at once and begin another romance. At the very least, she was somewhat disillusioned, and rather afraid to fall in love.
"Young Sect Master... I want to serve at your side all my life. I don't want to marry..." Xiao Taohong said after a moment's hesitation.
"Heh heh, if you end up with Kang Xiaofeng, who knows? You might still be at my side, in the end!" Tianchan smiled mysteriously.
"Huh? What do you mean? Young Sect Master, do you like Kang Xiaofeng too?" Xiao Taohong was slightly taken aback.
Tianchan's face immediately darkened. "I do not like Kang Xiaofeng. Enough, don't ask any more. Go pack your things and report to me the moment you have news!"
"Oh, all right! Young Sect Master." Xiao Taohong nodded and went off to pack...
After Guan Dafu Pharmaceuticals weathered the upheaval of its great rise and fall, some employees who had wavered in their loyalty resigned to seek better prospects elsewhere. For the other half, those who had remained steadfastly loyal to the company to the very end, Fatso Lai and Kang Xiaofeng promoted them and raised their salaries accordingly, so that they might rejoice in the choice they had made!
