Kang Xingye was in a dilemma, and explained with a wry smile: "The main reason is that Zhang Qizhi has promised Cao Meiru. If we don't give it now, won't it mean that Qizhi will not be able to come to Taiwan?"
At this time, Zhang Qizhi also smiled and said: "Yes, cousin, no matter what, what I say must be counted, right?
It’s just a crystal ball, and it’s not that valuable. How about treating it as a meeting gift from you to Meiru?”
Cao Meiru hugged her bag tightly, with no intention of returning it. She stared at Chen Xiyue with a half-smile, as if she was sure that Chen Xiyue would not fall out.
Chen Xiyue's face looked ugly for a moment, but she didn't want to fall out with the Kang family because of a crystal ball.
Just when she was about to swallow her anger and agree to give the crystal ball to Cao Meiru, Han Jiulin, who had been silent at the side, finally spoke.
Han Jiulin looked at Zhang Qizhi and asked coldly: "I want to know, do you understand the basic principles of life?
In this house, you can only be regarded as a guest at best. What qualifications do you have to take my cousin's things and give them to your girlfriend as a favor?"
Han Jiulin's tone of voice was calm, but he exuded an untouchable dignity. Zhang Qizhi, who was originally confident, met Han Jiulin's eyes, and most of his confidence disappeared instantly.
He frowned and replied: "This is also my cousin's home. Why did I bother you by taking my cousin's things?"
"Don't tell me that my cousin and your cousin are not married yet. Even if they are married, everything in this house is my cousin's pre-marital property, and your cousin has no right to make the decision."
Han Jiulin didn't save any face for the other party. After he finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Cao Meiru coldly: "You, put the things back intact!"
Cao Meiru trembled under Han Jiulin's gaze. She lowered her head in fear and did not dare to look at Han Jiulin. She grabbed Zhang Qizhi's arm and said pitifully: "Qizhi, look at him, he is yelling at me!
"
She really liked that crystal ball, to the point where she couldn't put it down, and she was unwilling to return it no matter what.
Seeing Cao Meiru's pitiful appearance, Zhang Qizhi felt a surge of heat in his heart. He bravely looked at Han Jiulin and said with a sneer: "It's not a precious thing. Are you arguing with us here?"
Look, you scared my girlfriend!"
Kang Yun also walked out at this time. She did not speak directly to Han Jiulin, but asked Chen Xiyue: "Xiyue, my daughter-in-law, who has never married, is using your crystal ball. How can I really make such a fuss out of a molehill?"
Is it a mess?
Do you have any hospitality skills?"
"I……"
Chen Xiyue looked troubled, sighed, turned to Han Jiulin and said: "Cousin, forget it, crystal ball..."
Before Chen Xiyue could finish speaking, Han Jiulin came to Chen Xiyue, patted her on the shoulder and said, "This is not a matter of a crystal ball."
As he said that, he looked at Kang Yun and said softly: "They are juniors and don't understand the principles of life. They can be forgiven. As an elder, you don't understand the most basic principles. Isn't it a bit unjustifiable?"
Kang Yun's face suddenly changed and she said in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"
Han Jiulin said: "My cousin hasn't married Kang Xingye yet. When your family comes over, they are thinking about taking something with them. After getting married, why don't they just take whatever they want?"
How about simply vacating this home?
Moreover, you take it as stealing without telling me, and you put things in my cousin's bag without her consent. This kind of behavior is no different from stealing. As an elder, you can actually condone your children and juniors to steal from other people's homes.
Now I am very doubtful about the moral character and upbringing of your family."
Han Jiulin's words made several people, including Kang Xingye, look ugly.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Kang Yun was the first to retort coldly: "It's just a crystal ball, but you said Meiru was stealing?
You might as well say you've got it."
As she spoke, she looked at Chen Xiyue and asked: "Xiyue, what does your cousin mean? If you think our Kang family is not worthy of your Chen family, then we should leave now?"
"We are not like this..." Chen Xiyue wanted to explain anxiously, but was blocked by Han Jiulin.
"You can leave if you want. Put your things down before you leave, otherwise don't blame me for reporting the crime."
Han Jiulin stood with his hands behind his hands, his eyes stern.
Before they got married, Kang Yun suppressed Chen Xiyue again and again. If Chen Xiyue and Kang Xingye were really allowed to get married, I don't know how the Kang family would treat Chen Xiyue in the future.
Since Han Jiulin was entrusted by the old lady and as a member of his family, he came to support Chen Xiyue. Naturally, he could not let Chen Xiyue be manipulated by Kang Yun.
Kang Yun narrowed her eyes suddenly. She never expected that Chen Xiyue's cousin would have such a tough attitude.
Kang Xingye was also shocked. If his marriage with Chen Xiyue really had any twists and turns because Cao Meiru took the crystal ball, there would really be no place to cry.
Moreover, he was also very scared at this time. He was looked down upon by Han Jiulin, and he immediately said angrily to Cao Meiru: "Cao Meiru, why don't you quickly take out the crystal ball and put it back!"
Cao Meiru looked at Kang Yun aggrievedly, hoping that Kang Yun would make the decision for her.
Kang Yun's face changed again and again, and finally she squeezed out a smile and said to Cao Meiru: "Meiru, listen to Auntie, put down the crystal ball. If you really like it, Auntie will buy you one when you're done."
Seeing that even Kang Yun had given in, Cao Meiru lost any confidence and could only take out the crystal ball gloomily.
However, at this time, Cao Meiru felt a fire in her heart and was extremely unhappy.
When she took out the crystal ball, she turned her eyes and let the crystal ball fly out of her hand. With a bang, it hit the ground and broke into two halves.
The crystal ball is made of pure crystal and is a stone. It was not broken, but the rod connecting the crystal ball and the base was broken.
Cao Meiru's eyes flashed with joy, and she pretended to say: "Oh, I'm sorry, my hand slipped, I didn't mean it."
However, her performance was too clumsy, and everyone present could see the gleaming gloating in her eyes.
Since she is not allowed to take away the crystal ball, she will smash it so that no one can have it!
Zhang Qizhi was stunned, then said to Chen Xiyue with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Meiru didn't do it on purpose. You won't blame her, right?"
Kang Yun said with a straight face: "If you really mind, Xiyue, just make a price and I'll compensate you."
