1553 Taking Out Her Trump Card
Kang Jichuan widened his eyes instantly, not understanding what this socialite was saying.
She said that Qingzhi was vicious and framed Xi Xi?
Previously, during the farce of the perfume competition, everyone said that Qingzhi and Xu Ling had joined forces to frame Xi Xi, but he believed that Qingzhi would not do that. Qingzhi was only instigated by Xu Ling, so he naturally believed that Qingzhi would not frame Xi Xi at the Gu family’s banquet.
Kang Qingzhi lowered her head as tears trickled down her face. Her already weak body trembled helplessly. Kang Jichuan’s heart ached, and the last trace of doubt in his heart gradually dissipated.
He frowned and retorted, “I’m Qingzhi’s brother. I know her very well. She won’t frame others! Qingzhi, since the Gu family can’t tolerate you, I’ll bring you away!
“Although this is Li City and the Gu family’s territory, the daughter of the Kang family can’t be slandered! I hope you can watch your words to avoid getting into trouble!”
The socialite widened her eyes and looked at Kang Jichuan in disbelief. Then, she rolled her eyes and looked at Gu Yao. She finally understood why Gu Yao did not retort. It was because talking to an idiot was really infuriating!
Kang Jichuan looked smart on the surface, but he was actually very stupid. He was probably thinking too highly of himself!
After a long silence, the socialite could not help but sneer. “Since you trust your sister so much, I have nothing to say. When the Kang family is defeated by Kang Qingzhi one day, don’t regret it!”
“Shut up!” Kang Jichuan’s expression was extremely gloomy. “Whose daughter are you? How dare you curse our Kang family like this? Qingzhi, let’s go!”
Kang Jichuan turned around and saw Old Madam Gu beside him. He seemed to want to say something, but when he saw everyone’s disdainful gazes, he swallowed the words in his mouth and pulled Qingzhi away.
“She ruined a good banquet. What a jinx!” Gu Yao complained.
When Kang Qingzhi heard this, she gritted her teeth and quickly left with Kang Jichuan.
After the two of them left, Kang Jichuan could not help but be a little curious about what had happened today. At that time, so many people were standing at the event location. Old Madam Gu was also watching from the side. Did they just watch helplessly as Qiao Xi bullied Qingzhi? No matter what, Qingzhi was Old Madam Gu’s savior. How could the old madam herself be indifferent?
Just as he was about to ask, Kang Qingzhi, who was beside him, started sobbing. She lowered her head, and tears fell to the floor one by one. Her voice was trembling. “Brother, I’m sorry. I’ve embarrassed you.
“I know that because of the perfume competition, Sister Xi Xi has always hated me. I wanted to take advantage of the banquet and wait for Sister Xi Xi to be in a good mood before explaining myself to her, but Sister Xi Xi refused to listen to me. In her eyes, I framed her with Xu Ling and almost caused her to lose her reputation. It’s normal for her to not be willing to forgive me. It doesn’t matter how she misunderstood me, but I was afraid that she would misunderstand you and Dad. She even said… she wanted to cut ties with you. I… I was just too agitated, so I said a few angry words.”
Seeing that his sister was crying so aggrievedly, Kang Jichuan hurriedly comforted her softly. “Qingzhi, don’t cry anymore. I know you’re kind…”
Kang Qingzhi raised her head. Her round eyes and small nose were red, and her voice was soft. “Brother, I don’t have any ill intentions. I just don’t want you and Dad to be sad, so I looked for Sister Xi Xi to explain. I didn’t expect her to misunderstand even more. I… I’ve let you and Dad down…”
Kang Jichuan’s eyes were filled with love, and his voice was extremely gentle. “Qingzhi, you don’t have to apologize. This isn’t your fault.”
His heart ached. Qingzhi had good intentions. She did it for them and the Kang family, but Xi Xi…
Xi Xi had suffered in the perfume competition, but Qingzhi could not be blamed for this. Qingzhi had suffered today, but she did not criticize Xi Xi. Instead, she kept explaining for Xi Xi.
A trace of anger surged out of Kang Jichuan for no reason. He frowned unhappily. “Why didn’t Old Madam Gu speak up for you just now? You’re her savior, yet she doesn’t care about your relationship at all…”
Kang Qingzhi’s eyes were filled with resentment, and her sharp nails almost dug into her palms.
Yes! The Gu family actually did not care about their relationship at all. In that case, they could not blame her for being heartless!
Qiao Xi pushed her into the pond, causing her to soak in the cold water for half an hour. She had to take revenge today. It seemed that she could only take out her trump card in advance!
