Chapter 369 Not The Best Catch (2/2)
Seeing this, Elder Kang then laughed slightly as he removed his hand. ”Either way, you've done so much for the Kang family business that it pretty much belongs to you. Its glory is your glory and legacy.”
Now, Kang Jun frowned. ”I'm returning it.”
This time, Elder Kang looked at Kang Jun and frowned. ”That isn't necessary. You became the heir by your own strengths and talents. You're what's best for the family, even if you aren't blood.”
Kang Jun shook his head.
”I never wanted to be the heir. I wanted to be free and now, I can be.” Kang Jun said. After saying this, he walked to the table and put his briefcase on it before removing papers from it. ”Biologically, Kang Mei Xue is my daughter, and so, I plan to reveal this information in front of everyone at the next family gathering in order to stop Feng Zhengyi from going to court. She won't be able to get her hands on my daughter. Then, I want to take her far away from here. So we can all live happily and peacefully.”
Hearing this, Elder Kang's face paled. ”You're leaving?...”
Kang Jun nodded.
Elder Kang: ”Why?”
”It's better for me, for AnLing, for the kids and for everyone else here...” Kang Jun said simply.
”Everyone else? No... it's not for me. I'll never see you or AnLing or Mingyu or Mei Xue ever again! Can't you just wait until I die...” Elder Kang said shakily as he walked over to Kang Jun and clutched his arm.
The old man's eyes were bloodshot and passionate in a way that Kang Jun had never seen before.
”Please Jun... don't leave...” the elder said.
But Kang Jun couldn't do as he wanted. ”Don't speak of dying. There is nothing you can do to change my mind. We're leaving. After I've dealt with Feng Zhengyi, we'll leave.”
Hearing this, the old man felt as if someone had ripped out his heart. The man clenched his teeth and said, ”First Zhi... and now you... everyone leaves me.”
Kang Jun didn't like showing emotion to his family members. His love and care were specially reserved for his children and wife, but seeing the elder in such a weak state, and hearing Kang Zhi's name uttered, Kang Jun put his warm hand on his grandfather's shoulder.
Feeling this touch, Elder Kang did not know how to react. Kang Jun was never quite kind to him. Ever since he was a child, he'd been a bit cold, and in all honesty, Elder Kang knew that this was due to him, Kang Mu and Mo Ruyi. Elder Kang showed more love to his son, Kang Zhi, Kang Mu showed more love to Kang Jun's younger siblings and Mo Ruyi did not show anyone more love, but in the face of her own son, if felt like he was getting less love.
For a child this was traumatic, but now, as Elder Kang felt Kang Jun's touch, Elder Kang couldn't help but thank Lu AnLing and any entity that led her to Kang Jun because the man had truly found his place...
Kang Jun: ”Whenever you want to see us, I'll pay for your ticket to come to visit us. I know you won't want to stay there because the company is your baby after all, but you'll see us. This I promise.”
This would not solve everything, and neither would it make Elder Kang more keen on letting the couple and their children go, but the small bit of emotion Kang Jun showed touched Elder Kang's heart.
”That better be true.” Elder Kang scolded. ”Because if you don't keep your promise, I'm going to find you and I'm going to beat you with my cane.”
Hearing this, Kang Jun frowned and rolled his eyes.
