1578 Who’s Going Against The Kang Family Behind The Scenes?
“I hid my identity because I didn’t want others to think that I relied on my identity to win the championship. I didn’t expect someone to misunderstand me because of this.”
Kang Jichuan’s heart ached. On the way back, he even suspected that Qingzhi had plagiarized. However, now that he saw Qingzhi, he knew that he had misunderstood her. She would not plagiarize.
However, she said that she hid her identity. What was going on?
Before Kang Jichuan could think it through, he heard Kang Qingzhi’s soft voice. “Brother, actually, there’s something I’ve been hiding from you. Many years ago, I casually chose a name and used that identity to make a few bottles of perfumes. Unexpectedly, I somehow became a genius girl in the perfume world.”
There was a trace of confusion and surprise in her eyes. “I didn’t expect the perfumes I casually made to suddenly become popular and be liked by everyone. However, I didn’t want to expose my identity and participate in the competition using that identity. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be fair to the other contestants…”
Kang Jichuan gasped and looked at her in shock. “Qingzhi, you… You mean…”
Kang Qingzhi was a little embarrassed. After a few seconds of silence, she said softly, “Yes, I’m Mu Jin. I didn’t expect this matter to spread like wildfire online.
“I know that the name Mu Jin is a top existence in the perfume world. I thought that if I participated as Mu Jin, I’d definitely be given preferential treatment by everyone. No matter what work I submit, they’ll give me the highest evaluation. Hence, I changed my identity to participate in the competition. However, my style hasn’t changed much. I only changed some of the basic spices. Unexpectedly, so many years have passed and someone thinks they have something on me.”
Everyone heard Kang Qingzhi’s explanation clearly.
Kang Jichuan’s originally worried face was filled with surprise at this moment. He hurriedly pulled Kang Qingzhi back and asked excitedly, “Qingzhi, are you really Mu Jin?”
“Yes.” Kang Qingzhi nodded shyly.
“Alright!” The gloominess in Kang Jichuan’s heart was swept away. He said loudly, “You’re Mu Jin. Of course, there’s no problem with your work being similar to your previous works. You just modified your previous works. This is something many contestants have done before. Moreover, it’s allowed by the competition’s organizers. If the people who are scolding you online know that you’re Mu Jin, they’ll definitely regret it!”
“Qingzhi, don’t worry. I’ll tell the higher-ups of the company and get them to clarify things online.”
Kang Qingzhi nodded obediently. “Alright, Brother. I’ll also use Mu Jin’s account to send a message to prove that I didn’t plagiarize.”
At first, Kang Jichuan thought that the Kang family was really in big trouble this time. Unexpectedly, he found out that his sister was Mu Jin herself. The tables had turned.
Even if he was not from the perfume world, he had heard of the name Mu Jin. Unexpectedly, Qingzhi had hidden it from them for so many years and thought that it was not a big deal. This meant that not only was Qingzhi kind-hearted, but she was also humble and low-profile.
“But…” Kang Qingzhi suddenly frowned, her face filled with confusion. “But I haven’t used the name Mu Jin for many years, and the perfumes I released three years ago didn’t attract any attention. Why did someone suddenly compare our perfumes?
“I’m Mu Jin herself, which is how I’ll prove my innocence online. But if I wasn’t, then the Kang family would…” Kang Qingzhi’s eyes were filled with panic and fear. “Who exactly is targeting the Kang family behind the scenes?”
At the mention of this, everyone’s expressions suddenly darkened.
The next second, Old Madam Kang slammed the cup on the table and gritted her teeth as she shouted, “It must be that b*tch! Who else could it be? Qiao Xi can’t wait to destroy the Kang family!”
Kang Qingzhi pretended to be surprised. “That’s impossible, right? No matter what, Sister Xi Xi is Dad’s biological daughter. The Kang family’s blood flows in her body. If the Kang family really collapses, what benefits will she get? Grandma, you must have misunderstood Sister Xi Xi.”
Seeing Kang Qingzhi take the initiative to defend Qiao Xi, Kang Jichuan could not help but sigh in his heart. Qingzhi was really too kind.
Actually, he also suspected that Qiao Xi was behind this. His father probably thought the same. Only Qingzhi was still willing to believe Qiao Xi and felt that she would not attack her family.
Old Madam Kang said angrily, “Qingzhi, she has always hated you, so she wants to label you as a plagiarist and ruin your reputation. She’s so vicious, so why are you still speaking up for her?
“She hates you for occupying her identity, and she hates the Kang family for not announcing her identity, so she wants to take revenge on us. This little b*tch is simply crazy!”
