Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 61: Boss Guang’s daughter?

When preparing for dinner, the boss bought KFC for Tianxiu and Xiaowanzi. The two little guys were full even before dinner after eating hamburgers and drinking Coke. Tianxiu kept saying he was very full, but he never stopped eating.

"Come, boiled shrimp." The second sister-in-law brought out the last dish from the kitchen and asked everyone to eat.

"These are not bamboo shrimps, they are rosenbergii shrimps." Chibi Maruko was eating a hamburger while complaining that these shrimps were not her favorite.

The boss was a little embarrassed. He had planned to buy prawns, but when he went to the market it was already late and the prawns were sold out, so he bought bamboo shrimps. "How about this, I'll buy you bamboo shrimps next time." Xiaowanzi nodded obediently.

"You are a good eater, girl." Kang Qirui smiled, put the peeled shrimps in Zhu Wanling's bowl and said, "We are blessed with shrimps today thanks to the little sister, haha."

"You like it? You like giving birth to a child yourself, hahaha." The second sister-in-law raised her eyebrows and laughed. Zhu Wanling was already blushing because Kang Qirui peeled shrimp for her, and now she was even more shy when the second sister-in-law laughed at her, so she had to lower her head to show off her fandom.

At this time, Yumi also came back from get off work. She washed her hands and came in to eat. Seeing a strange little girl, she asked, "Who is this little girl?"

"She is the same as my uncle, both are heroes who stand up for justice." Tianxiu explained. My second sister-in-law told the story of how Xiaowanzi came to Tianxiu's rescue when he was bullied. Yumei was surprised after hearing it and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be a better fighter than Tianxiu's uncle."

"Mom, why don't we ask a few reporters to come back and write some articles to put her in the newspapers." Tianxiu suggested.

When Chibi Maruko heard this, she became anxious. She grabbed a few shrimps and ran to the dining room door, saying, "If you want me to be in the newspaper, I will leave right away." Everyone was surprised by her behavior.

"You silly girl, you need to find a reporter to publish in the newspaper, and we don't know any reporters, so how can we publish it?" The second sister-in-law pulled Xiaowanzi back and comforted her, "Tianxiu was just joking with you."

Zhu Wanling whispered in Kang Qirui's ear: "Hey, why do you think she is so afraid of being in the newspaper? Did she run away secretly?" This shocked Kang Qirui. He was an experienced person and of course he knew that Xiaowanzi ran away from home without telling her parents. He didn't expect Zhu Wanling to be able to guess it. He asked puzzledly: "Why do you say that?"

"Several runaway children have come to our hospital recently. Some of them were accidentally hit by cars on the road, while others fainted from hunger on the side of the road. So when I saw her react so strongly to hearing that she would be in the newspapers, and she was also so hungry, it seemed very similar." Zhu Wanling whispered the reasons for her judgment.

Kang Qirui knew she was right, but he still said perfunctorily, "Don't talk nonsense, let's eat." He hadn't decided whether to expose Chibi Maruko. According to the original storyline, Chibi Maruko would pretend to be the illegitimate daughter of Big Brother Guang, which made Big Brother's sister-in-law sad for several days. In the end, after the truth was revealed, Chibi Maruko recognized Big Brother's sister-in-law as her godfather and godmother, and Chibi Maruko's biological parents also changed their ways after their daughter ran away from home and reconciled. The final result of this matter was a happy family and a happy ending.

If Kang Qirui exposed Maruko at this time and revealed that she ran away from home, the boss and his wife would lose a very lovely goddaughter after a few days of missing her. Most importantly, with the time she spent away from home shortened, Kang Qirui could not be sure whether Maruko's biological parents would reflect on themselves and make changes. This was also the reason why Kang Qirui had been hesitant.

After more than ten minutes, everyone had almost finished eating. Kang Qirui was the slowest one to eat because he was still thinking about something. According to the old rules, the slowest eater would clean up, and Zhu Wanling helped to clean up.

"Chibi Maruko, come out and play with me." Tianxiu had already gone out to play, and kept urging Maruko. But Maruko didn't go out to play. "Wait a minute, I have to help them wash the dishes." After saying that, she also helped to clean up the dishes.

"Be good, be good, go out and play, I'll take care of it." The second sister-in-law took the dishes over, saying that she was the slowest to clean up and wash the dishes, but the second sister-in-law and the eldest sister-in-law would always help because there were too many people in the Kang family, and if one person was asked to wash the dishes, who knew how long it would take.

"No, I can wash the dishes." Xiaowanzi said very obediently: "Just let me wash it."

"Girls are sensible. If I had a daughter, it would be a blessing from my ancestors." The second sister-in-law praised Chibi Maruko for being well-behaved and said that she wanted a daughter. However, Chibi Maruko retorted: "You are just talking. You already have Crayon Shin-chan. How can you love me?"

"You little girl, how can you speak so maturely?" The second sister-in-law was a little surprised. She didn't expect Chibi Maruko to say these words.

After Kang Qirui and the others washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen, they came to the living room to rest. The old lady saw everyone coming out, looked at the alarm clock and said, "It's past eight o'clock, Xiaowanzi, you should go home, otherwise your parents will worry about you."

"Yes, Xiaowanzi, let me take you home. Your parents must be missing you." The sister-in-law was thinking about sending Xiaowanzi home.

"Don't be afraid, no one is at home." Chibi Maruko looked like she didn't want to leave.

"No one, are you an orphan?" The sister-in-law's logic was a bit crooked.

"No, my parents are on a business trip, and I don't dare to live alone at home, so just let me stay here for one night." Chibi Maruko found an excuse to stay.

After hearing this, Dou became very angry. He hated irresponsible parents the most. "Are you kidding me? Are parents nowadays so unreasonable? They leave a child at home alone? Aren't they worried at all that the child might be kidnapped by others?" Dou felt that it was unreliable for Chibi Maruko's parents to leave their daughter at home alone for work.

"What's so strange about this? Her parents' generation didn't want to take care of their children after they had them. But my generation doesn't even want to have children." Yumi said from the side.

The old lady couldn't stand hearing such words, "Look, young people nowadays are so selfish that no one can compare to them."

"Auntie, you can't say that. Think about it, if you give birth to a child and then don't take care of it, it's better not to have one. That's why my generation is much more advanced than the previous generation." Yumi had her own reasons.

The old lady shook her head, and suddenly she was startled, and asked: "Ah Rui, you don't think so too, do you?" She suddenly remembered that Kang Qirui and Youmei were about the same age, so she was worried that Kang Qirui didn't want to have a baby. "Mom, I'm sure that's not the case." Kang Qirui held Zhu Wanling's hand and said to the old lady and Zhu Wanling: "In fact, the main reason they don't want to have a baby is because of the pressure and the high cost of education. Our family doesn't worry about these problems, and we will definitely have a baby."

"That's good." After getting Kang Qirui's assurance, the old nanny felt relieved.

"Chibi Maruko-chan, your parents have cell phones, so you should call them and ask if they allow you to live here." When the second sister-in-law was giving Maruko-chan a bath, she found that all her clothes were branded. She concluded that Maruko-chan's parents were rich, and therefore believed that they must have cell phones.

"I forgot their phone number." Chibi Maruko said directly.

"Then you can't sleep here." The second sister-in-law said, "If your parents call home and can't find you, they will call the police."

Hearing this, Chibi Maruko immediately said, "I remember." Then she picked up the phone, quickly dialed a number and said, "Hello, Mommy, I'm staying at my classmate's house tonight and won't be going home. Bye." The whole process took no more than five seconds.

"My mom has no objection. She let me sleep here." Chibi Maruko stretched.

Zhu Wanling felt strange when she was eating just now, and now she felt even more strange when she saw Xiaowanzi on the phone. Normally speaking, it was hard to tell whether the other party answered the phone or not at this time. She walked over to the phone and pressed the redial button. Then she put down the phone with a strange look on her face and said to Xiaowanzi: "Xiaowanzi, did you say your mother agreed to let you sleep here?"

"Yes." Xiaowanzi nodded. "You're lying." Zhu Wanling was angry. "I just pressed the redial button, and the person on the phone said, sorry, this number is not available to users."

"Ah?" The boss picked up the phone and pressed the redial button again. It was indeed an unavailable number. "What's wrong with Maruko? Didn't you call your parents?"

"I" She didn't know how to say it.

"You've already learned to lie at such a young age, that's outrageous." The second sister-in-law spoke louder and louder. Xiaowanzi and Tianxiu seemed to be very good friends, and she was most afraid that Tianxiu would learn bad things. Xiaowanzi was so scared that she started to cry.

Kang Qirui couldn't bear it anymore, he pulled Xiaowanzi over and said, "Xiaowanzi, don't cry first, if you have any problems, tell us, we will help you." Yes, Kang Qirui decided to give the choice to Xiaowanzi. He knew that Xiaowanzi would most likely pretend to be the daughter of Big Brother Guang, and he didn't want to expose Xiaowanzi. Because Xiaowanzi's biological parents were really too much, people will only truly repent after feeling despair. He couldn't guarantee that if Xiaowanzi ran away from home for a significantly shorter time, her parents would not feel despair, and would they still repent.

He didn't want to ruin other people's lives because of his decision. And if he didn't expose it, it seemed like he didn't have any burden. If he didn't expose it, Xiaowanzi would stay at home and spend a few days with everyone, the old lady would get a precious granddaughter, and the boss and his wife would get a precious daughter. So, why ruin all this?

"Yes, tell grandpa, do you have a father and a mother?" the old man asked softly. Xiaowanzi thought about it, nodded and shook her head.

"Do you have a family?" the sister-in-law asked again. Xiaowanzi shook her head this time and then nodded.

"What do you mean?" The boss just spoke for the Kang family.

"I'm here to find my father." Chibi Maruko still made the fateful decision.

"Looking for dad? Who is your father?" Kang Qirui assisted, and everyone looked curious.

Xiaowanzi looked at Kang Qirui, then at Da Laoguang, and finally pointed at Da Laoguang and said, "He is my father!"

"what?"

The boss panicked when he heard it. Under the murderous eyes of the eldest sister-in-law, he said anxiously: "Xiaowanzi, don't talk nonsense, you will kill me." He thought for a moment, pulled Xiaowanzi over, and said as gently as possible: "Xiaowanzi, tell everyone honestly that what you said just now was all lies, okay?"

"I'm not lying." Although Chibi Maruko is small, she understands that once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Instead, Tianxiu said angrily: "You are lying, your last name is not Kang, your last name is Ying, and your name is Chibi Maruko-chan, how can you be my uncle's daughter?" It must be said that Tianxiu's logic is also very smooth.

"Chibi Maruko-chan is my nickname, my real name is Kang Tianzhen." Maruko pointed at Big Brother Guang and said, "My father gave it to me."

When the sister-in-law heard this, she fainted. Everyone hurriedly helped her back to the room to rest. Kang Qirui said in his heart: I'm sorry, sister-in-law. I just don't want things to develop in an uncontrollable direction. If her parents really don't repent in time because of me, it will really harm their lives. Just suffer for a few days, sister-in-law. Xiaowanzi will be your goddaughter in the future. You suffer for a few days and get a daughter. I think you will support me when you know the truth. I'm sorry, sister-in-law.
