Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1609 Just Because You’re Old And Shameless?

The moment Kang Qingzhi finished explaining, Kang Jichuan chose to believe her. Then, he said helplessly, “Xi Xi, you also know that Qingzhi always gets dizzy. That’s why she misunderstood you. Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, forgive her.”

“Misunderstood?” Qiao Xi sneered. “I’ve been bearing this crime for five years, yet you’re dismissing this by saying that it’s just a misunderstanding?”

Old Madam Kang’s voice was sharp. “What else do you want? Qingzhi was unconscious for so long after falling down and can’t dance anymore. Moreover, she has already apologized to you. Why are you still unwilling to let the matter go?”

Qiao Xi was not surprised in the slightest. She had suffered for five years, but now that the truth was out, they casually brushed it off without even comforting her.

She looked at the Kang family coldly. Before she could speak, an extremely oppressive voice sounded. “Old Madam Kang!”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall man walking over against the light. His aura was strong, and his light brown eyes were filled with a coldness that made one shudder.

“Who’s the one who’s unwilling to let the matter go?” Gu Zheng sneered and said firmly, “Back then, Kang Qingzhi thought that Xi Xi was the perpetrator, so the Kang family chased Xi Xi out of the house. Now that Young Master Kang brought this matter up again, it’s nothing more than to cover up the fact that Kang Qingzhi stole Xi Xi’s perfume recipes and imprisoned Xi Xi.

“After Xi Xi proved her innocence, you’re accusing her of being unforgiving? Your Kang family is so biased toward Kang Qingzhi. You don’t take Xi Xi seriously at all. You made her suffer for five years. Why should she forgive you?”

Gu Zheng said slowly, “Should she forgive you just because you’re old and shameless, Old Madam Kang?”

The moment that was said, the venue instantly fell silent. Everyone looked at Gu Zheng in shock.

This crazy person was President Gu?

It had to be said that every word Gu Zheng said made sense. The Kang family was really too biased. Kang Qingzhi caused Qiao Xi to suffer and bear the reputation of attempted murder. Now, Kang Qingzhi casually said that there was a misunderstanding and even accused the victim of not being tolerant enough. What kind of logic was this?

Old Madam Kang shouted in exasperation, “Qiao Xi! You actually found helpers to deal with the Kang family?”

Gu Zheng walked in front of Qiao Xi, his tall body protecting her behind him. The aura he exuded was cold, and his voice was low. “Old Madam Kang, Xi Xi is my wife. Why can’t I help her?”

“President Gu, you” Old Madam Kang was instantly speechless.

She was the madam of a noble family in Y Nation. She was naturally angry that she was being ridiculed by such a junior.

Kang Ru hurriedly said, “President Gu, since the misunderstanding has been resolved and Xi Xi is from the Kang family, she should come home with us”

“Mr. Kang.” The corners of Gu Zheng’s mouth twitched, and his voice suddenly turned cold. “What right do you have to make her go back with you? When she was in the Kang family, she was bullied and wronged by your adopted daughter. When have you ever cared? You clearly know how Xi Xi has suffered, but you didn’t say anything!”

Every word he said hit Kang Ru hard. His face was ashen. “W-What are you talking about?!”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present said angrily, “Mr. Gu is right! How does Kang Ru have the cheek to let Miss Qiao go back home with him? Do they even treat Miss Qiao as a family member?”

“Old Madam Kang is biased toward Kang Qingzhi. If Miss Qiao goes back, I don’t know how she’ll torture her! Look at how pitifully Kang Qingzhi is crying! She’s really aggrieved that she didn’t succeed in framing Miss Qiao!”

Hearing everyone’s mockery, Kang Qingzhi’s thin body swayed as tears fell uncontrollably.

“Is crying all you can do? You’ve wronged Miss Qiao for so many years, yet you still have the cheek to cry?”

“You stole Miss Qiao’s perfume recipes and won the championship. Then, you accused Miss Qiao of plagiarism. Isn’t that the truth?”

“The first time might be a misunderstanding, but you always target Qiao Xi and shed a few tears to gain sympathy. It’s as if you’re the one who was wronged. Qiao Xi isn’t willing to forgive you, so you’re using your family to guilt trip her. How can there be such a scheming person like you?!”

Kang Qingzhi had never been pointed at and scolded before. She instantly cried. “I I didn’t do that”

At this moment, Kang Jichuan said helplessly, “Xi Xi, I misunderstood you. I can understand that you hate me, but Qingzhi is innocent. You can’t vent the anger in your heart on her. She’s weak and sick. She accidentally fell down the stairs. This isn’t her fault!”

Kang Jichuan really did not understand why everyone was criticizing Qingzhi. She was clearly a victim too!
