Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 1471 She Wouldn't Believe A Word

At this moment, Qiao Xi and the others had already gotten into the car and left.

Xue Yi was still filled with anger. "The Kang father and son are really muddle-headed! They're being played by a b*tch. It seems that they regret it now, but it's too late."

"Of course, they'll regret it and feel a little guilty," Qiao Xi said casually. "But that's all to it. They're still on Kang Qingzhi's side."

Gu Zheng's expression was cold.

Qiao Xi chuckled and said, "Mr. Kang has been trying to find his biological daughter for so many years. It seems that he still has feelings for me, so he'll fall into self-reproach and guilt for a period of time. However, such emotions come and go quickly. He won't make things difficult for Kang Qingzhi for such emotions."

Xue Yi pursed her lips. "Tsk! His own daughter ran away in anger, yet he still cares about that b*tch!"

Ever since Qiao Xi entered the Kang family's villa, she had been calm as if she was not the protagonist of this farce. The corners of her mouth curled up as she said, "He clearly knows that I've been wronged, but he still wanted me to let Kang Qingzhi off. Do you think their regrets are meaningful? There are many things a person will regret in their life, but if they had to do it all over again, they would still choose to do it the same way. Moreover, Kang Qingzhi knows that she won't be punished at all. She's still the daughter of the Kang family who's loved by everyone."

At this moment, Qiao Xi understood her mother's feelings very well. She probably knew that Kang Ru's regret and guilt were meaningless. If such a thing happened again, she would still be the one who would suffer, so she left him resolutely.

If what happened today had happened five years ago, perhaps Qiao Xi would have given Kang Ru and Kang Jichuan a chance. After all, they were related by blood, so she would be willing to give in. But at this moment, she was already disheartened. She had no feelings for the Kang family and was only focused on taking revenge.

She would no longer believe in the Kang family, much less be hurt by them!

Yes! Kang Ru did feel guilty, but did he try to make things up to Qiao Xi? He was still unwilling to let Kang Qingzhi be punished at all! He wanted Kang Qingzhi to continue participating in the competition!

His guilt and regret were just tools to maintain his affectionate image. Perhaps he could deceive Qiao Xi five years ago, but Qiao Xi would not believe a word of his five years later!

Qiao Xi lowered the car window, and a breeze blew in. She narrowed her eyes as she watched the scenery outside the window recede bit by bit. Suddenly, the man's cold and suppressed voice sounded in her ears.

"Xi Xi, I won't let you suffer."

His voice was very gentle, but Qiao Xi could hear a trace of killing intent at the end of his sentence. Gu Zheng reached out and pulled her into his arms, caressing her soft black hair bit by bit. He said firmly, "If the Kang family isn't willing to give you an explanation, then take the matter into my own hands!"

Qiao Xi suddenly raised her eyes. The man seemed to have expected this and turned his face away. Hence, Qiao Xi saw his exquisite side profile. His thick eyelashes trembled slightly. "They made you sad, so I'll make them pay the price. This is just the beginning. There's still time."

Five years ago, Kang Qingzhi almost caused Xi Xi to lose her life. Now, she was playing tricks and caused Xi Xi to be eliminated. Did she think that she would be let off so easily?

Gu Zheng exuded a cold killing intent as the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "I heard that the Kang family owns a large perfume company."

"Oh?" Qiao Xi abruptly raised her eyes with a teasing gaze.

Gu Zheng said casually, "Although the Kang family is a noble family in Y Nation and lives a rich life, no one will complain about having too much money. They don't care about ordinary investments and losses, but if the amount involved is too large, they definitely won't be able to sit still."

Gu Zheng paused for a moment and said a number in Qiao Xi's ear. Qiao Xi could not help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this. "The Kang family has really spent a lot of money on Kang Qing! They're actually willing to spend so much money?"

"Their title as the earl of Y Nation is just a title. If they don't have any businesses under them, their lives will be difficult. The Kang family has many companies under them. Their perfume company is their pillar, and that's why Kang father and son can't bear to abandon Kang Qingzhi."

Xue Yi suddenly remembered. "I heard that the Kang family's perfume company only rose in recent years. Old Madam Kang has been spreading the news that the Kang family's perfumer is the champion of the International Perfume Competition. The perfumes she creates are unique and comparable to gold. She must have been talking about Kang Qingzhi!"

Gu Zheng snorted. "The Kang family treats Kang Qingzhi as a treasure. Feelings account for a portion of it, but the most important thing is still benefits."
