1549 Miss Kang, Don’t Regret It
Qiao Xi looked at Kang Qingzhi’s indignant appearance, and the corners of her mouth revealed a trace of ridicule. “Then what do you want to do, Miss Kang?”
Kang Qingzhi bit her lip and said in a weak voice, “Since you won’t admit to this, then call the police. Let the police investigate it. No matter what the final outcome is, it’ll be decided by the police. I won’t have any objections. Moreover, this is very fair to me and Mrs. Gu.”
Gu Yao was instantly unhappy. “Kang Qingzhi, where did you get your dignity from?! Who do you think you are? Don’t think that just because you’re invited to the banquet, you—”
Before he could finish, he was stopped by Qiao Xi with a wave of her hand. She said casually, “I agree with Miss Kang. After all, murder is not a small matter. If you want to call the police, I naturally won’t refuse.”
Gu Yao stopped talking abruptly, and everyone looked at Qiao Xi in disbelief.
Did she agree to call the police because she was too confident that she would escape unscathed or because this had nothing to do with her?
Kang Qingzhi was also a little surprised. When she came back to her senses, her expression was gradually filled with mockery, but her voice was still filled with grievance and weakness. “Mrs. Gu, are you admitting it?”
“Where did you hear that?” Qiao Xi had an innocent expression.
Kang Qingzhi looked like she was about to cry. “You said that murder is not a small matter. You agreed to let me call the police!”
Qiao Xi had a surprised expression. “I did agree to let you call the police, but I didn’t admit it. Miss Kang, your thoughts are really strange!”
Kang Qingzhi gritted her teeth tightly, and her eyes were filled with viciousness. She was still unconvinced as she questioned, “Mrs. Gu, you agreed to call the police just now. Doesn’t that mean that you’ve admitted it? You’re the mistress of the Gu family, and I’m the daughter of the Kang family. My status isn’t lower than yours. I almost died in the Gu family this time. The Kang family definitely won’t let this go!
“Could it be…” Kang Qingzhi frowned with a disapproving expression. “Could it be that you think the Gu family’s power can protect you? You can disregard your reputation and commit crimes, but why do you want Grandma Gu and Mr. Gu to clean up your mess?”
Qiao Xi’s voice was extremely calm. “Miss Kang, this is between us. Why must you bring up others? Moreover, when did I ask Grandma Gu and Gu Zheng to help me?”
Everyone was surprised.
Without Gu Zheng’s help, how could Mrs. Gu escape unscathed after deliberately killing someone?
Kang Qingzhi was slightly surprised as well. What right did Qiao Xi have to be so confident? She looked at Qiao Xi’s calm face, and the anger in her heart suddenly surged. Then, she took out her phone and said loudly, “I know that this is the Gu family’s territory. No one wants to offend Mr. Gu, and no one will help me call the police. I can only rely on myself.”
Just as Kang Qingzhi was about to dial the number, Qiao Xi said casually, “Miss Kang, are you really going to call the police? Do you want to ask the Kang family first before deciding?”
Kang Qingzhi stopped what she was doing, and her eyes were filled with ridicule. She thought that Qiao Xi was so confident, but now that she was about to call the police, Qiao Xi finally showed her fear!
Moreover, even if she called her father and brother, they would definitely support her in calling the police if they found out that Qiao Xi had pushed her into the water!
Qiao Xi asked her to ask her father probably because she thought that her father would ask Kang Qingzhi to give up on calling the police to protect Qiao Xi’s reputation on the account of their relationship as father and daughter. However, how was this possible?
Kang Qingzhi stared fixedly at Qiao Xi, her eyes filled with resentment and disdain. She was clearly in a sorry state, but at this moment, she felt noble. She said with an arrogant expression, “Why are you asking about my family? They’re my family. Do you think they’ll help you?
“If Dad and Brother find out that you almost killed me, they’ll call the police and have you arrested even before I say anything. You’ll have to pay the price regardless!
‘Yes, I’m the adopted daughter of the Kang family. In the past, I was just your substitute, but now, my status in the Kang family has completely surpassed yours. You still want the Kang family to stand on your side? Dream on!’
The corners of Kang Qingzhi’s mouth curled into a proud smile. Moreover, in the eyes of the Kang family, her health had not been good since she was young. If they knew that Qiao Xi had pushed her into a pond and left her there for half an hour, they would definitely be very angry.
After she finished speaking, the event location suddenly fell silent. After a long time, Qiao Xi smiled strangely. “Miss Kang, don’t regret it.”
“I won’t regret it!” Kang Qingzhi shouted without hesitation. She wished for nothing more than to pierce through Qiao Xi’s body with her vicious gaze. She could no longer control her expression.
Why did Qiao Xi appear in front of Kang Ru? If Kang Ru had not seen Qiao Xi back then, the Kang family would forever have only one eldest daughter. No one would snatch her things. She targeted Qiao Xi to protect herself!
