1524 Causing An Uproar
Kang Qingzhi’s gaze made the guilt in Kang Jichuan’s heart instantly dissipate. His tone was serious. “Xi Xi, you heard Qingzhi being scolded just now. If her name is really announced online, I don’t know how those netizens will attack her. At that time, the Kang family’s company will be affected. Are you going to watch our investment fail? The Kang family’s blood flows in your veins. How can you be so heartless?”
Qiao Xi looked at him coldly. “So I have to bear these consequences? I have to continue to be suspected and insulted by the netizens and bear everything in the place of your Kang family?”
Kang Jichuan took a deep breath. “Xi Xi, this concerns the Kang family’s business. Can you stop being unforgiving?!”
Kang Qingzhi tugged at the corner of Kang Jichuan’s shirt, her eyes filled with pride.
Qiao Xi was the biological daughter Kang Ru had always been thinking about! He had been looking for her for so many years, but in the end, she could not compare to her, the adopted daughter, who was favored!
The current Qiao Xi should be in despair, right? They were clearly related by blood, yet they were unwilling to help her. They even wanted Qiao Xi to sacrifice herself to fulfill the family’s adopted daughter’s wish. Was it very painful?
Five years ago, she was unable to kill Qiao Xi. After that, she got Xu Ling to incite Xu Anran, and Xu Anran was unable to kill her. Now that they were going against each other again, she would absolutely not let Qiao Xi off!
Kang Qingzhi raised her head proudly and looked straight at Qiao Xi with resentment and a trace of disdain.
Qiao Xi met her gaze, and the corners of her mouth curled into a cold smile. However, her eyes were quickly filled with disappointment. “Old Madam Kang is threatening my life. How can I resist? I can’t let the Kang family’s business be damaged, nor can I snatch Kang Qingzhi’s title as the champion. In the end, it’s all because I’m useless. I don’t have a powerful family like the Kang family behind me. If I had such a powerful family, how could I be wronged and slandered?
“So I deserve to be wronged. I need to sacrifice myself to help others. It’s all my fault for being useless!”
With that, she left heartlessly without even looking at anyone.
Kang Jichuan looked at her lonely back view, and his heart seemed to be squeezed into a ball.
How could Xi Xi say that?
Did she deserve to be wronged because she did not have the Kang family behind her? However, the Kang family was her family!
They had made Xi Xi suffer, but they were just thinking about the big picture. If she encountered any difficulties in the future, the Kang family would naturally protect her. Why didn’t she understand?
Kang Ru and Kang Jichuan were filled with guilt, but they were still firm on this thought.
As long as Xi Xi took a step back, the Kang family could let Qingzhi become the champion. The Kang family’s perfume business would then rise to another level. They would make it up to Xi Xi after this.
Qingzhi knew that she was in the wrong, and she had already apologized. Why did Xi Xi have to compete with Qingzhi?
On the other hand, when Zhao Xiang saw Qiao Xi return, he said in a flattering tone, “Miss Bright Moon, we’ve already investigated the people who framed you. Can we start the competition now?”
In the beginning, Zhao Xiang looked down on Bright Moon, but now, he had no choice but to lower his voice.
Qiao Xi nodded and casually glanced at the audience.
Zhao Xiang’s heart finally relaxed. He was afraid that Qiao Xi would go back on her word, so he hurriedly said, “Alright! I’ll announce the start of the competition now!”
At the same time, in the small banquet hall at the side, everyone saw the video sent by Yang Xu and was extremely angry. Gu Yao’s expression darkened.
The video that Yang Xu took was a little blurry and shaky. It was as if he had walked into the wrong place and accidentally recorded it.
After a while, Yang Xu posted the video on his WeChat Moments. He was the young master of the Yang family and was quite popular in high society. He also had many friends. The contents of the video instantly spread.
When everyone saw that Gu Yao had liked it and reposted it, they all understood what Gu Zheng meant. He wanted to protect Gu Corporation’s perfumer, Bright Moon. Moreover, this perfumer’s identity was not ordinary!
Perhaps the people at the event location did not know who Xi Xi was, but everyone in high society knew that Gu Zheng’s wife was called Qiao Xi. No wonder President Gu and Gu Yao were focused on protecting Bright Moon.
20 minutes later, not long after the competition began, the video that Yang Xu accidentally recorded caused an uproar in Li City’s high society.
Twilight sat on the judge’s seat and saw Gu Yao reposting Yang Xu’s WeChat Moments.
Baby Yang: [My group of friends is having a gathering today and we booked a banquet hall. I was recording a video and accidentally went to the wrong place. I realized that on the other side of the corridor is the event location of the perfume competition. I happened to record a very interesting scene. I was shocked!]
