1496 My Patience Is Limited
Longwan Residential.
Qiao Xi had just eaten and was comfortably lying on the sofa eating Matcha ice cream when her phone suddenly rang. When the call connected, Kang Jichuan’s voice came from the other end. “Xi Xi, our family knows about what you did. You definitely can’t participate in the competition anymore. Dad said that he’ll help you suppress the news and try his best to protect your reputation.”
“There’s no need.” Qiao Xi refused coldly.
Kang Jichuan’s tone was serious. “Xi Xi, stop fooling around! Do you know what such news means to a woman? Leave the perfume competition and leave the rest to me.”
Qiao Xi sneered. They kept saying that they were a family, but the Kang family did not believe her at all and thought that she had seduced a judge.
“There’s no need to trouble you, Young Master Kang.” Qiao Xi’s voice was still cold.
Anger surged in Kang Jichuan’s heart. “Xi Xi, what exactly do you want? The competition’s organizers have already revoked your right to participate in the competition. If you continue to fool around, your life will be ruined. If Gu Zheng finds out that you did such a thing, will he still tolerate you?”
“Heh, how are you going to help me, then, Young Master Kang?”
Kang Jichuan blurted out, “I’ll get the competition’s organizers to delete the threads, comments, and accounts.”
Qiao Xi rolled her eyes. “This is your method? You’re clearly trying to cover it up! The more you do this, the more dissatisfied the netizens will be. They’ll be even more sure that I seduced a judge. When the matter festers, not only will I be embarrassed, but my real name will also be exposed.”
Kang Jichuan had a bit of a business mind, but he did not often go online and did not understand the horror of online public opinion. His tone gradually became annoyed. “Xi Xi, time is tight. My patience is limited!”
Qiao Xi scooped up a spoonful of ice cream and said unhurriedly, “Young Master Kang, you’re really interesting. All my relatives and friends know that I’m Bright Moon. After this matter was exposed, Gu Zheng, the Yin family, the Qin family, and the Xue family all believe that I wouldn’t do such a thing. They’re even looking for evidence to prove my innocence. Only those who are related to me by blood don’t believe me!
“Even if you delete the negative comments online, you’ll never be able to change the thoughts of the netizens. The image they have of me is already deeply rooted. When you said you’ll help me, did you mean you’ll completely destroy me?”
Qiao Xi said casually, but Kang Jichuan’s expression changed abruptly. “Qiao Xi! What nonsense are you talking about?! I’m doing this for your own good. Everyone doesn’t know that you’re Bright Moon yet, so we should quickly suppress the news now. Before long, no one will remember this matter.”
“Young Master Kang, who gave you this idea?”
Kang Jichuan instantly choked. Before he called, Qingzhi had given him the idea, but Qingzhi did it for Xi Xi’s own good!
He was silent for a moment before the flames of rage surged out of his heart. “You didn’t repent after making a mistake. To think that Qingzhi was so anxious about you that she cried and helped you think of a way. You’re ungrateful and even think that Qingzhi wants to harm you! Qiao Xi, you’re the one who said that you don’t need our help this time. Don’t regret it. From now on, don’t beg me if you encounter trouble!”
With that, Kang Jichuan hung up angrily. He was so angry that his face turned red. He slammed the phone on the table, anger surging in his heart.
He had already tried his best to control his emotions, but it was clearly Qiao Xi who made a mistake. She did not accept the Kang family’s good intentions and even tried to drive a wedge between him and Qingzhi. How could she be so vicious?!
After Qingzhi found out that something had happened to Qiao Xi, she was so anxious that she did not even eat. She wanted to help Qiao Xi salvage her reputation and even suggested sacrificing herself. However, Qiao Xi still thought that Qingzhi wanted to harm her. Qiao Xi was an ignorant fool!
Five years ago, when Qiao Xi returned home, Qingzhi had always been careful and tried her best to please her. However, Qiao Xi made things difficult for Qingzhi and even beat and scolded her.
Qingzhi was weak and sickly to begin with, but she gritted her teeth and endured it. She did not want to offend Qiao Xi, but she still refused to let the matter go. Qiao Xi felt that Qingzhi had snatched away more than ten years of her love and wealth. Qingzhi felt that she had let Qiao Xi down and kept giving in to her. However, Qiao Xi was ungrateful. Even though Qingzhi was about to die, Qiao Xi was unwilling to donate her blood.
She was so selfish back then, and she was still the same now!
Kang Jichuan was furious. Looking at the curses online, he clenched his fists tightly, his eyes red.
“Brother…”
At this moment, Kang Qingzhi’s petite figure appeared at the door. Her eyes were red as she said awkwardly, “The competition’s organizers called to ask the contestants to repost that thread. I’m the only one who hasn’t reposted it. They called me and asked me to repost it.”
