Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 1522 Why Would Qingzhi Lie?

Kang Jichuan frowned, feeling uneasy.

Qingzhi was Xi Xi's younger sister, after all. As long as they were sentimental and reasonable, Xi Xi should forgive Qingzhi. If Qingzhi's name was really posted online, her future would be ruined. Xi Xi would not be so heartless.

Kang Ru rubbed the space between his eyebrows and said helplessly, "Jichuan, Xi Xi doesn't deserve this…"

Kang Jichuan pursed his lips tightly, and his tone carried a trace of anger. "She has been wronged, but she shouldn't be causing trouble at the event location. It doesn't matter if she wants to punish others, but this concerns Qingzhi. Can't she think about Qingzhi? She just can't tolerate Qingzhi. She wants to ruin Qingzhi whenever she finds a chance!"

At this moment, the judges gathered together to discuss the punishment for Xu Ling and Kang Qingzhi. The other contestants could rest during the intermission while Kang Qingzhi returned to the Kang family's side in tears.

Kang Ru said unhappily, "Qingzhi, did you really do it?"

Kang Qingzhi was extremely aggrieved and choked. "Dad, I… Why would I harm Sister Xi Xi? It was Ling Ling who said that she saw someone seduce the judges. She lied to me. She asked me to report that person for her.

"I've always liked perfumes, so I respect the perfume competition very much. I was very disappointed to know that someone had done such a thing. Because it was Ling Ling who told me, I believed her and reported it with her. However, I didn't know that that person was Sister Xi Xi at first. I'm sorry… It's all my fault!"

With that, Kang Qingzhi's tears trickled down. Her tears fell to the floor.

Kang Ru's heart ached when he saw this. He could not bear to reprimand her and comforted her softly. "I was just asking. I'm not blaming you. Don't cry."

Kang Jichuan, who had been silent for a long time, knew very well that the person who lured Du Ming to the lounge was Qingzhi. His heart was a mess as he looked at Kang Qingzhi suspiciously. His voice also became serious. "Qingzhi, did you really not know that Xu Ling wanted to frame Xi Xi?"

Kang Qingzhi's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously lowered her eyes, which were filled with unwillingness and anger. Why did her brother not believe her anymore? Was he going to abandon his sister, who had been by his side for more than ten years, for that little b*tch?

Her eyes were filled with resentment, but when she looked up again, they were filled with grievance and sorrow. Tears blurred her vision, and her round eyes were red. She sniffled. "Brother, you don't believe me? We grew up together. Don't you know what kind of person I am? If I knew that Ling Ling framed Sister Xi Xi, why would I report Sister with her?

"I know that I'm occupying my sister's identity. I owe her a lot. I've always wanted to compensate my sister, so it's impossible for me to frame her! But Brother… are you suspecting me?"

Tears welled up in her eyes. Kang Jichuan's heart ached, and his voice softened. "Qingzhi, I… I'm not suspecting you."

He was muddle-headed! Why would Qingzhi lie?

"Jichuan, are you crazy? You actually suspect Qingzhi?" Old Madam Kang's eyes were bloodshot as she shouted at the top of her voice, "That little b*tch is indeed innocent, but she's slandering our Qingzhi. Instead of comforting Qingzhi, you're actually questioning her like that little b*tch. What kind of brother are you?"

"Grandma…" Kang Jichuan pinched the space between his eyebrows.

However, before he could finish, he heard a cold voice. "Young Master Kang asked me to come over to talk, but I heard Old Madam Kang scolding me the moment I arrived. Talk about sincerity!"

Everyone from the Kang family hurriedly looked up and saw Qiao Xi with her arms crossed as she looked at them with ridicule.

Kang Jichuan's expression was ugly as he looked away guiltily. "Xi Xi, don't mind her. Grandma is just worried about Qingzhi, so she said a few harsh words. I really do have something to tell you."

The corners of Qiao Xi's mouth curled up as she glanced at the passageway behind the audience. She saw Yang Xu shoot her a look, then asked casually, "What do you have to say to me?"

Kang Jichuan looked at her cold gaze and distant tone. He recalled her words just now. 'Miss Kang has her relatives to stand up for her.' His heart was filled with guilt, and his voice became gentle. "Xi Xi, we're also your family. We can protect you too."

"Is that so?" Qiao Xi grunted coldly. "Young Master Kang, don't waste time and be straightforward."

Kang Jichuan instantly choked, and the words in his mouth were stuck in his throat. However, if he did not say anything, what would Qingzhi do?

He took a deep breath and braced himself. "Xi Xi, Qingzhi was also deceived by Xu Ling. She didn't know that you were the one Xu Ling wanted to report. She just didn't want anyone to break the rules of the competition, so she went with Xu Ling to report the matter."
