1503 Can’t Change One’s Personality
Jiang Ying thought for a long time. She could only wait for the results of the investigation before punishing the parties that needed to be punished and apologizing. If it was really Bright Moon’s fault, those noble families would not be able to continue protecting her.
The assistant was still in a dilemma. “But… Who knows if those noble families are really standing up for her or if there’s another reason? Maybe…”
“Whether those noble families are sincerely protecting her or not, we can’t malign an innocent person! Should a person with no one to rely on be trampled under our feet?” Jiang Ying questioned angrily.
What were these people thinking?
Ever since Madam Leng passed away, she had wanted to get rid of the Perfume Association. However, these people were all blinded by money and benefits. This had already caused the perfume competition to go bad!
The assistant had never seen her so angry before. He hurriedly said while trembling, “I-I was just saying it casually. I’ll post a statement online now.”
With that, the assistant left in a hurry, but he was a little unconvinced. He had already accepted Du Ming’s money, so he naturally had to do what he was paid to do. Moreover, Xu Ling was behind this. Xu Ling was Kang Qingzhi’s good friend. How could they dare to offend her?
Among the entire competition’s organizers, Jiang Ying was probably the only one who did not know that the internal champion was Kang Qingzhi. She only wanted to be fair and selfless. What era was it now? Why was she still so old-fashioned?!
…
In the Kang family’s villa.
When Old Madam Kang saw so many noble families protecting Qiao Xi, she was angered to the point of looking ferocious.
Kang Qingzhi’s posture was weak, so she sighed. “No wonder my sister doesn’t need my brother’s help. It turns out that she has so many backers. She’s cheerful and healthy, so she has so many friends. However, I’ve been weak and sick since I was young. I can’t go out and can’t make new friends at all. I’m really envious of Sister Xi Xi.”
When Old Madam Kang heard this, anger instantly surged in her heart. She spat on the floor. “Pfft! She’s a vixen. She’s relying on her face to seduce men! How shameless!”
At this moment, Kang Jichuan realized that Kang Qingzhi had her head lowered and her eyes were filled with tears. She looked aggrieved, and he hurriedly asked, “Qingzhi, what’s wrong? Did Xi Xi look for you?”
Kang Qingzhi’s body trembled. She slowly looked up like a frightened little white rabbit. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her lips trembled. “Brother, I…”
“Tell me quickly.” Kang Jichuan frowned as if he had already expected something.
Tears trickled down Kang Qing’s face, and her voice was a little choked. “Sister Xi Xi did look for me. She said… She said that the perfume recipes I used to participate in the competition are all hers, but I had never seen her before this. How could I have stolen her perfume recipes?
“It’s probably because we happened to use the same spices that Sister said that. Brother, don’t blame Sister. She doesn’t have any ill intentions.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Old Madam Kang slammed the table, her eyes filled with resentment. “Nonsense! This little b*tch actually dares to slander you? She’s just a b*tch who only knows how to seduce men. She doesn’t have any ability, yet she wants to snatch your perfume recipes. Does she have any shame?!”
Old Madam Kang thought that Kang Qingzhi and Qiao Xi had never met, but only Kang Jichuan knew very well that they had already met five years ago. However, hadn’t Xi Xi lost her memory? How could she say such things?
That shouldn’t be the case! If she really remembered, why didn’t she say anything? She would definitely complain to her father and publicize it so that he and Qingzhi would pay the price.
Kang Jichuan thought about it and roughly understood that Qiao Xi had not recovered her memory. Although five years had passed, her character could not be changed. Qiao Xi was just slandering Qingzhi for stealing her perfume recipes.
“Qingzhi, do you believe that Xi Xi seduced the judges?” Kang Jichuan suddenly asked.
Kang Qingzhi was at a loss. “I… I don’t believe it, but Xu Ling told me that her lounge was next to Sister Xi Xi’s. She saw it with her own eyes. But it’s possible that she saw it wrongly.”
Kang Jichuan took a deep breath as if he had made an important decision. A trace of coldness flashed past his eyes. “Qingzhi, I won’t let you suffer. Even if that person is my biological sister, she can’t bully you!”
When Kang Qingzhi heard these words, her eyes were filled with gratitude. Then, she said in a panic, “Brother! Could it be that you… You can’t! Brother, you can’t do this. Sister Xi Xi is your biological sister. If you offend her for me, she’ll never acknowledge you as her brother!”
“It doesn’t matter if she acknowledges me or not. Since she made a mistake, she has to bear the consequences!” Kang Jichuan’s expression was extremely gloomy.
