Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1563 A Waste Of Words

Gu Zheng’s voice was low. “I heard that you called today. Uncle Sheng had already made himself clear on the phone. All the guests present saw what happened at the Gu family’s banquet. It’s already kind of us not to settle the score with Miss Kang. Now, you’re actually forcing Xi Xi to apologize to her?”

Kang Jichuan’s face flushed red. That was exactly what he came to do. After all, Qing Zhi’s illness had acted up. Xi Xi was mainly responsible for it. It was reasonable for her to apologize to Qing Zhi. If Xi Xi insisted on not apologizing and donating her blood to Qing Zhi, Grandma would not agree to Xi Xi returning to the Kang family. He was doing this for Xi Xi’s sake!

However, looking at everyone’s disdainful gazes, Kang Jichuan found it difficult to say what was on his mind.

“Young Master Kang, don’t you think your actions are too much?” Uncle Sheng’s tone was unfriendly. “If you’re here for this matter, then don’t waste your effort. Our young madam didn’t do anything wrong. Why should she apologize to the perpetrator?

“If there were no surveillance cameras in the old residence’s backyard, I’m afraid Miss Kang would have already caused Young Madam’s reputation to be ruined. Her scheme didn’t succeed and she was scolded by everyone for reaping what she sowed. She now wants Young Madam to apologize to her. How laughable!”

Kang Jichuan’s heart felt like it was stuffed with a huge rock. He knew that it must have been Xi Xi’s idea for these people from Longwan Residential to mock him.

The gaze he shot at Qiao Xi was filled with disappointment and anger. They were siblings whose blood was thicker than water! Why did Xi Xi do this to him, her brother? She actually let a butler mock and belittle him!

Kang Jichuan suppressed the anger in his heart. His rationality told him not to flare up because he had more important things to do.

He calmed down for a long time, and his tone became a little gentler. “Xi Xi, I don’t want to force you either. Qingzhi did something wrong this time, but she suddenly fell sick. I… I won’t force you to apologize, but can you not be so hostile to her? No matter what, she’s your younger sister.”

Qiao Xi sneered in her heart. Look at how fake this man in front of her was!

Kang Jichuan advised her earnestly, “Xi Xi, I know you think that Qingzhi has occupied your identity, so you’ve been unable to accept her. But think about it carefully. What did Qingzhi do wrong? She’s just an orphan. She couldn’t choose her family and fate. She was instigated by Xu Ling to participate in the perfume competition. She apologized to you after that. As for the Gu family’s banquet, she did it for the Kang family’s perfume business and wanted to look for you to resolve the misunderstanding. She doesn’t have any selfish motives, but you…”

“Young Master Kang.” Qiao Xi suddenly interrupted him. She rubbed her ears impatiently and raised her eyes slightly. She did not hide the disgust in her eyes and said word by word, “If you’re here to speak up for Kang Qingzhi today, then please leave. I was in a good mood before you came. I don’t want to listen to your nonsense.”

“Xi Xi?” Kang Jichuan widened his eyes in disbelief.

Qiao Xi said coldly, “Young Master Kang, I can tell you clearly that I hate Kang Qingzhi, and she hates me too. Our identities aren’t a problem. From the moment she schemed against me, I was never able to forgive her. We won’t become sisters, nor will we live under the same roof. Don’t waste your breath!”

The surroundings instantly fell silent. Kang Jichuan’s expression froze. His voice sounded a little torn as he asked in shock, “Xi Xi, you… What did you say?”

Five years ago, Xi Xi did hate Qingzhi, but she had never said these words directly. However, the current Xi Xi told him so heartlessly that she and Qingzhi would never get along harmoniously, much less live under the same roof. Hence, what she meant was that if the Kang family wanted their adopted daughter, Xi Xi would never return to the Kang family.

Xi Xi was forcing him and his father! Why did she have to make them choose?

Kang Jichuan gritted his teeth and said, “Xi Xi, don’t force me.”

“Young Master Kang, don’t you think your actions are very laughable?” Qiao Xi said casually, “At this point, you actually still think that Kang Qingzhi and I can become good friends?”

Qiao Xi’s cold eyes were filled with disdain and ridicule. There was no need for her to hide her thoughts in front of Kang Jichuan. It was better to directly fall out with him so that Kang Jichuan could completely give up on this thought.

“Young Master Kang, Kang Qingzhi has been framing me recently. Hasn’t the Kang family harmed me enough? Why don’t you ask the others in high society? If they were me, would they forgive Kang Qingzhi?”
