1536 She’s Willing To Bet On Her Life
Kang Jichuan said gently, “Qingzhi, don’t be sad. Take good care of your body. If Old Madam Gu doesn’t want you to attend the banquet, then don’t go.”
Anger surged in Kang Qingzhi’s heart.
Why should she not go? She had to go!
However, in front of Kang Jichuan, she could not expose her true thoughts. After the Kang father and son left, she could not suppress the anger in her heart and slammed the cup beside her onto the floor.
“B*tch! B*tch!” Kang Qingzhi roared in a low voice. her eyes were bloodshot as she gritted her teeth. “She should have died a long time ago. Five years ago, I let her dodge the bullet. Now, she’s in front of me, disgusting me again!”
It was because of Qiao Xi that she was obstructed in all aspects. Originally, she could rely on saving Old Madam Gu to become the Gu family’s most respected guest. However, after Qiao Xi interfered, Old Madam Gu left just like that!
She really did not understand why Gu Zheng liked her and why so many noble families were protecting her. Even Old Madam Gu thought so highly of her!
In a high-end ward not far away…
“Old Madam, Miss Kang seems to have broken a glass,” Aunt Fang said in a low voice. She subconsciously glanced at the old madam’s expression, then probed, “Old Madam, forgive me for being blunt, but although Miss Kang looks gentle and polite on the surface, in reality…”
“Tell me.” Old Madam Gu lay on the bed with her eyes closed.
Aunt Fang continued, “Miss Kang is actually not a kind person. I keep having the feeling that she’s very scheming. Maybe she really approached you just so you would have to repay her.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Old Madam Gu did not respond for a long time. Aunt Fang thought that Old Madam Gu did not like her saying that about Miss Kang. Aunt Fang also thought that she had misunderstood Miss Kang.
At that time, when she saw that the car was about to hit the old madam, Miss Kang rushed over and pushed the old madam away. If she had not controlled herself well, this car accident would’ve taken Miss Kang’s life. Could it be that she was really willing to bet her life on it?
“You think so too.”
Just as Aunt Fang was starting to blame herself, Old Madam Gu suddenly spoke and slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were clear. She remembered that after Kang Qingzhi saved her and was knocked down by the car, the corners of her mouth revealed a victorious smile.
As the situation was urgent, Kang Qingzhi had many wounds on her body. Old Madam Gu did not have time to think and hurriedly instructed the chauffeur to send her to the hospital. Under such circumstances, she would not doubt her savior.
Moreover, the moment Kang Qingzhi pushed her away and was hit by the car alone, her heart was filled with gratitude and heartache. She decided to treat this girl as her biological granddaughter. Originally, she could have pretended not to have seen Kang Qingzhi’s victorious smile, but when Xi Xi came to the ward, she heard Kang Qingzhi’s words and saw the trace of scheming in her eyes.
At this moment, Aunt Fang muttered, “What’s the relationship between Miss Kang and Young Madam?”
The next second, Gu Zheng suddenly pushed the door open and said coldly, “Kang Qingzhi is the adopted daughter of the Kang family.”
Old Madam Gu could see the disgust in his eyes at the mention of the Kang family.
“Kang Ru came to Li City this time to look for his long-lost biological daughter, Xi Xi,” Gu Zheng continued.
“Xi Xi is the daughter of the Kang family?” Matriarch Gu was surprised.
Gu Zheng nodded and said casually, “Xi Xi is the real daughter of the Kang family, but because of Kang Qingzhi’s interference, Xi Xi’s relationship with the Kang father and son is getting worse. Moreover, the Kang family hasn’t admitted Xi Xi’s identity in public yet.
The moment that was said, Old Madam Gu regretted it. She should not have been so polite to the Kang family in front of Xi Xi just now. Xi Xi would probably be sad.
She could also tell that although Kang Qingzhi looked weak and was just an adopted daughter, the Kang father and son were very obedient to her. That was why they thought that Xi Xi was deliberately making things difficult for her based on her one-sided story.
Gu Zheng said, “Five years ago, Kang Qingzhi stole Xi Xi’s perfume recipes and used Xi Xi’s work to participate in the perfume competition. She’s a two-time champion. After that, she bit back and said that Xi Xi stole her perfume recipes.”
“She actually treated Xi Xi like this!” Old Madam Gu suddenly sat up on the bed, her eyes filled with anger.
Gu Zheng’s voice was filled with mockery. “The funny thing is that the Kang family believed her.”
Old Madam Kang and Aunt Fang instantly choked. Of course, they believed Gu Zheng’s words. If he could find out what Kang Qingzhi had done, then with the Kang family’s power, they could naturally find out too. However, they blindly believed in their family’s adopted daughter and were unwilling to investigate.
Aunt Fang’s face was filled with disbelief. That seemingly weak and kind Miss Kang was actually such a person?
