1441 It’s Her Turn To Perform
Qiao Xi had just stepped through the door when she looked at the three of them.
Gu Zheng also looked up. The gentleness in his eyes instantly dissipated and was replaced by a layer of coldness. His voice was extremely cold. “Young Master Kang, were you criticizing Xi Xi just now?”
The three of them widened their eyes as they looked at Qiao Xi’s arm and were stunned for a few seconds.
Gu Zheng carefully supported Qiao Xi. “Xi Xi, sit down and rest first.”
Qiao Xi: “…”
Pretending to be weak was her forte. It was her turn to perform now!
Gu Zheng helped her to the sofa and sat her down. The three people from the Kang family looked a little embarrassed. In the end, Kang Ru broke the silence first. “Xi Xi is injured?”
Kang Jichuan was still angry. After hesitating for a few seconds, he asked, “How did Xi Xi get injured when she went to attend the cultural relic restoration event? Could it be that it’s because you pretended to be the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor, so…”
Kang Jichuan thought that Qiao Xi was lying and pretending to be the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor. It must be because she couldn’t keep it up anymore and caused a series of conflicts, leading to her injuries. However, she was still his younger sister, after all. It was their first time meeting, so he could not be too harsh. Thus, he restrained himself.
Qiao Xi raised her eyes, and her sharp gaze caused Kang Jichuan’s heart to skip a beat.
She did not say anything. Instead, Gu Zheng sneered. “Young Master Kang, why don’t I understand what you mean? Say that again.”
Meeting their sharp gazes, Kang Jichuan could not say anything.
Gu Zheng sneered. “Young Master Kang, are you here at Longwan Residential today to defend He Wenxian? If that’s the case, you’re not welcome here! Send the guests out!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Sheng immediately went forward. “Young Master Kang, please leave.”
“I’m not! He Wenxian and I don’t know each other, so how could I stand up for her?!” Kang Jichuan explained anxiously. “I’m just worried about Xi Xi. I thought that she’s injured because of He Wenxian. Actually, if she didn’t pretend to be the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor, she wouldn’t have—”
“Young Master Kang, perhaps you’ve made a mistake.” Song Shijing went forward and interrupted Kang Jichuan, his voice carrying a trace of coldness. “Young Madam is the real Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor. He Wenxian pretended to be Young Madam. Mr. Kang, weren’t you informed of this?”
Kang Ru frowned and shouted, “Jichuan, you’ve misunderstood!”
Kang Jichuan’s expression froze as he lowered his head awkwardly.
In that case, it was He Wenxian who stole Xi Xi’s identity and bullied her. However, Qingzhi said that…
Qingzhi had just said it casually. She had never seen Xi Xi before, so it was normal for her not to know.
Kang Jichuan was Qiao Xi’s biological brother and the earl of Y Nation. However, he was almost chased out by Gu Zheng. He felt that it was embarrassing, so his tone was very serious. “Xi Xi, you clearly knew that we were waiting for you here. Why didn’t you come back quickly? Qingzhi has already—”
“Young Master Kang, you’ve been scolding me since I entered. Could it be that you didn’t see the injury on my arm?” Qiao Xi raised her eyes and looked at him coldly.
Kang Jichuan was instantly speechless.
Gu Zheng’s gaze landed on Kang Ru. “Have you been waiting for a long time, Mr. Kang?”
Kang Ru replied truthfully, “An hour.”
“Heh, you’re getting impatient after an hour? But do you know what Xi Xi encountered? He Wenxian faked a car accident and wanted to kill Xi Xi, causing her to be injured. When she found out that you were waiting at home, she refused to go to the hospital. She hurriedly rushed back and only got her wound treated at the last minute. But how is Young Master Kang treating her?
“Ever since Xi Xi entered, Young Master Kang has accused Xi Xi of pretending to be Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor. Now, he’s accusing Xi Xi of making you guys wait for too long. All of you can see that she’s injured, but no one is asking about it. You keep saying that you’re here to look for your relative, but do you treat Xi Xi as your family? In that case, you don’t have to come anymore. Uncle Sheng, see the guests out!”
Kang Jichuan hurriedly explained, “Qingzhi’s illness is acting up, and she can’t wait long. I was just anxious. I didn’t—”
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. “Miss Kang is sick? Uncle Sheng, Miss Kang is sick. Why didn’t you get her to seek treatment as soon as possible? Why was she still waiting for me here?”
Uncle Sheng immediately explained, “Young Madam, how would I dare to keep Miss Kang? Miss Kang insisted on staying and waiting for you to come back. If you didn’t come back, she wouldn’t leave. Even Mr. Kang couldn’t persuade her, so I couldn’t do anything about it!”
Kang Jichuan frowned and said unhappily, “Xi Xi, what do you mean by this? Qingzhi is your younger sister. She had good intentions and wanted to wait for you to come back. The long wait made her illness act up. It’s fine that you took so long to come back, but why are you blaming Qingzhi?”
