1551 Harming Others Without Benefiting Yourself
The event location instantly fell silent. Right on the heels of that, a middle-aged man beside her said, “I’ve also learned how to lip-read. That’s probably what Miss Kang said.”
Kang Qingzhi’s face was pale, and her body was trembling uncontrollably. She stood alone on the spot, surrounded by questioning gazes.
There was really a surveillance camera, and it coincidentally captured that sentence. Moreover, there were actually guests who knew how to lip-read. How could it be such a coincidence?
No! She suddenly recalled that she and Qiao Xi were talking face-to-face at that time. Later on, Qiao Xi specially adjusted the angle before she changed her position, allowing the surveillance camera to capture her saying that sentence.
This was clearly a trap set up by her!
Kang Qingzhi’s hatred surged like a tide!
Qiao Xi, that b*tch, actually dared to scheme against her? What right did those people have to suspect her? She was the daughter of a noble family in Y Nation. Even if she really made a mistake, it was not their place to question her!
“Miss Kang, you just said that this is the Gu family’s territory, but you were fooling around at the Gu family’s banquet and even wanted to frame me. I’ve reminded you many times, but you don’t know how to repent. I didn’t call the police on the account that you’re Grandma Gu’s savior. I hope you can use your brain before you speak or do anything. Don’t do anything that harms others without benefiting yourself.
“There are some things that weren’t captured in the surveillance camera. I can repeat it for you. You showed off in front of me, saying that you’re Grandma Gu’s savior. You even threatened me by saying that Grandma Gu would blame me for going against you and even chase me out of the Gu family.”
Qiao Xi said word by word, “I reminded you just now to ask the Kang family if you should call the police, but you seemed to have lost your mind and insisted on calling the police. I had no choice but to bring out the surveillance footage. Let me ask you again. Are you sure you want to call the police?”
The banquet hall was silent. Kang Qingzhi’s body was cold, but her face was burning. She was about to break down.
No wonder Qiao Xi had always been so confident. It turned out that she had long gotten the surveillance camera to record her saying that sentence. She had clearly done it on purpose. Why did everyone believe her?
“Miss Kang, why are you doing this?”
“I believe everyone has heard about the farce during the perfume competition, right?” A noblewoman in the crowd said, “Miss Kang framed Mrs. Gu, and the Kang family even forced Mrs. Gu to let the matter rest. Anyone who has seen that video knows that the contestant who was threatened, Bright Moon, is Mrs. Gu herself!”
Hearing this, the event location instantly became noisy.
“Doesn’t Miss Kang know that Bright Moon is Mrs. Gu? Yet she actually dares to threaten her?”
“Although the Kang family is a noble in Y Nation, this is Li City. Who dares to threaten Mrs. Gu?! If Miss Kang still dares to threaten Mrs. Gu even though she knows that Bright Moon is Mrs. Gu, then she’s too arrogant!”
“That video was taken by Young Master Yang, who went to the wrong place. He just posted it on his Moments. I don’t know who posted the video online, but right on the heels of that, Kang Qingzhi was crazily insulted by netizens. A few days later, Kang Qingzhi became Old Madam Gu’s savior. Speaking of which, it’s a little strange!”
Everyone looked at each other, the doubt in their eyes obvious.
They had all been in high society for so many years and were all very smart. When they connected these things, they could not help but think of another possibility.
Kang Qingzhi’s body suddenly tensed.
Qiao Xi! This b*tch made everyone suspect that she was using the car accident to clear her name. She ruined all her plans and efforts!
Kang Qingzhi suppressed the anger in her heart and took a deep breath. “Mrs. Gu, when I saved Grandma Gu, I didn’t know her identity. The situation was critical, so I didn’t think too much—”
“Miss Kang.” Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully. “I didn’t say I suspected you. Why are you explaining this to me?”
Kang Qingzhi’s heart trembled, and the suspicion in everyone’s eyes deepened.
Qiao Xi said slowly, “Miss Kang, you’re indeed Grandma Gu’s savior. We’re grateful to you, but you can’t slander me at the Gu family’s banquet just because you did a good deed!
“I don’t want to hear you explain the car accident. I just want to know why you framed me again.” Qiao Xi’s gaze was cold as she sneered. “Do you think you can surpass my status as Mrs. Gu just because you’ve become Grandma Gu’s savior? Do you think you can provoke me without restraint? Miss Kang, please explain.”
