Chapter 1596 - 1596 Counter-Attack
1596 Counter-Attack
The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth curled up slightly. She had to admit that Kang Qingzhi was really smart and had made sufficient preparations.
However, at that time, she was imprisoned by Kang Jichuan and had to have a few tubes of blood drawn every once in a while. When Kang Jichuan was not around, Kang Qingzhi would abuse her and force her to write perfume recipes.
In order to survive, she could only listen to Kang Qingzhi. However, every perfume recipe she wrote was flawed, so the perfume recipes in Kang Qingzhi’s hand were deliberately planted by her.
After that, she was hypnotized by Kang Jichuan and lost a portion of her memory. However, she still remembered the perfect versions of the perfume recipes.
At this moment, the judges specially displayed that photo on the big screen to ensure that everyone could see it. The spices in the perfume recipe were exactly the same as the ones used in Kang Qingzhi’s perfume.
The judges’ representative looked at Qiao Xi helplessly. “Miss Bright Moon, can you take out the perfume recipe you wrote? Moreover, it has to be done before Miss Kang.”
Kang Qingzhi had written this perfume recipe five years ago. If Bright Moon did not have an earlier photo, it would prove that Kang Qingzhi was the original creator. It would also prove that Bright Moon stole the perfume recipe.
Everyone looked at Bright Moon with anticipation. They were unwilling to believe that such an outstanding perfumer was a thief!
However, in the next second, Qiao Xi said frankly, “No.”
Everyone shook their heads in disappointment.
“So you admit it, right?!” Judge Sun shouted excitedly.
Kang Qingzhi also smiled proudly. It was impossible for Qiao Xi to have a photo because she was imprisoned at that time and did not have the chance to take a photo.
“Mr. Sun was right just now. Plagiarists indeed shouldn’t be standing in the arena,” Qiao Xi suddenly said. Her eyes burst with light, and her tone was firm. “But I’m not the one who’s going to be chased out! Today, I’m going to report Miss Kang under my real name. She stole more than 20 of my perfume recipes five years ago!”
The huge venue instantly fell silent. Everyone even thought that they had heard wrongly.
Kang Qingzhi’s heart trembled violently. She could not control the ferocious look on her face and roared, “Nonsense!”
“Bright Moon!” Kang Jichuan also roared. “You were the one who stole Qingzhi’s perfume recipes, yet you’re actually biting back? How did you become like this?!”
Qiao Xi did not even bother to look at Kang Jichuan. Her cold gaze landed on Old Madam Kang and Kang Ru.
The moment their eyes met, Old Madam Kang’s eyes were filled with panic and uneasiness. Qiao Xi was very sure that Old Madam Kang knew very well what Kang Qingzhi had done back then.
She was clearly the real daughter of the Kang family, but Old Madam Kang helped the adopted daughter abuse her, plot against her, and take away everything that belonged to her.
As for Kang Ru, his face was filled with shock, causing Qiao Xi to find it laughable.
Kang Qingzhi sobbed pitifully. “Bright Moon, it was you five years ago You stole my perfume recipes when I wasn’t paying attention. Everyone in the Kang family knows about it, yet you’re actually maligning me in public!
“I really treated you as a friend in the past, so I didn’t say anything. I thought that you would turn over a new leaf, but I didn’t expect you to push all the blame on me. How can you be so heartless?”
Everyone was instantly stunned.
“Miss Bright Moon and Miss Kang are friends?”
“Miss Kang treats her as a friend, but she took the opportunity to steal her perfume recipes. Now, she’s even slandering Miss Kang in public. This is too much!”
“Get out of here! Bright Moon isn’t worthy to be a perfumer!”
Kang Qingzhi lowered her head and revealed a sinister smile.
At this moment, Kang Jichuan had already rushed to the stage and protected Kang Qingzhi. He looked at Qiao Xi with anger in his eyes. “Let’s end it here!”
“Mr. Kang, do you believe in Miss Kang so much?” Qiao Xi asked coldly.
“Of course. Qingzhi wouldn’t lie,” Kang Jichuan replied without hesitation.
Qiao Xi nodded. “Alright! I hope you won’t regret it.”
She wanted to see Kang Jichuan’s expression when the truth was revealed. His sister, whom he trusted so much, had a different side to her. He probably could not accept it!
“Everyone here knows how to make perfumes, so everyone can also tell that there’s a difference between these two bottles of perfumes. Although there’s only one spice that’s different, the smell is very different. Most importantly, the theme of this perfume competition is ‘scenery’. Some people would think of flowers and a blue sky when they think of the word ‘scenery’, while others would think of snow.
“Miss Kang’s perfume evokes a cold feeling at first glance, but a large amount of sandalwood was added to it, making the originally clear and sweet smell heavy. It’s so nondescript that people can’t tell what’s trying to be expressed.”
