1538 Gu Yao’s Intention
At this moment in the Kang family’s villa.
Kang Jichuan was thinking in the study when he called Qiao Xi. His tone was filled with blame. “Xi Xi, Qingzhi is Old Madam Gu’s savior. You shouldn’t sow discord between them.”
Qiao Xi’s phone rang, and she answered the call without looking at whose number it was. She frowned when she heard Kang Jichuan’s voice on the other end of the phone.
Kang Jichuan waited for a long time, but there was only silence on the other end of the phone, so he called out tentatively, “Xi Xi?”
Qiao Xi resisted the urge to curse and took a deep breath. “Mr. Kang, when did you see me sowing discord between them?”
Such a distant and indifferent tone made Kang Jichuan instantly annoyed. “Xi Xi, can you speak nicely? Qingzhi suffered such a serious injury in order to save Old Madam Gu. Now, she just wants to attend the Gu family’s banquet. Why are you stopping her? Old Madam Gu clearly took the initiative to invite Qingzhi to the banquet, but after you left, Old Madam Gu suddenly stopped Qingzhi from going. What exactly did you do?”
Qiao Xi: “???”
Grandma Gu did not allow Kang Qingzhi to attend the banquet? What did this have to do with her? What right did Kang Jichuan have to question her?
She silently rolled her eyes and said helplessly, “Am I to blame for Miss Kang not being able to attend the banquet?”
Kang Jichuan had been educated by nobles since he was young and almost never lost his temper. At this moment, he forcefully suppressed his anger and tried his best to calm down. “Qingzhi is the savior of the old madam. Logically speaking, the old madam definitely wouldn’t refuse to let her attend the banquet. Who else but you would—”
“Hold on!” Qiao Xi did not want to listen to his nonsense and asked the person beside her, “Song Shiyu, why did Old Madam Kang refuse to let Miss Kang attend the banquet?”
Song Shiyu, who was in a daze, heard this and his heart trembled. He thought for a moment and said, “It was Young Master Gu Yao’s idea. This banquet is being held for Young Master Gu Yao. If he doesn’t want to see someone, he naturally has the right to stop them from attending.”
Qiao Xi sneered. “Did you hear that clearly? It’s Gu Yao’s idea, not mine.”
However, Kang Jichuan was sure that it was Qiao Xi’s idea and questioned, “You’re Gu Yao’s sister-in-law. Of course, he’ll listen to you. If it weren’t for you, would Gu Yao hate Qingzhi?”
Song Shiyu: “???”
Was this person crazy? Now, everyone in Li City’s high society knew that Kang Qingzhi framed Young Madam. Even if it were not for Young Madam, Young Master Gu Yao would not like such a person who played dirty tricks behind the backs of others!
Qiao Xi was not angry, and her expression remained indifferent. Kang Jichuan was even more anxious. He did not want Qingzhi to suffer, nor was he willing to see his biological sister, Qiao Xi, distance herself from him.
He gritted his teeth. “Xi Xi! You—”
Before he could finish, Kang Jichuan’s assistant ran in anxiously. “Young Master, Miss asked me to tell you…”
“Let’s talk later,” Kang Jichuan interrupted impatiently, but the assistant was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, “The Gu family sent someone to send an invitation to Miss Gu for the banquet. Miss asked me to bring the invitation to you.”
Kang Jichuan was instantly stunned. He looked at the invitation in the assistant’s hand. The Gu family’s name was indeed written on it, and it was even stamped with Old Madam Gu’s seal.
Qingzhi could finally attend the Gu family’s banquet, but…
“Young Master Kang.” Qiao Xi’s cold voice came from the other end of the phone, interrupting Kang Jichuan’s thoughts. “You just said that I sowed discord between Grandma Gu and Kang Qingzhi and stopped Kang Qingzhi from attending the banquet. But now that Miss Kang has received an invitation from the Gu family, you should apologize to me, right?”
Kang Jichuan instantly choked and gasped. The words of apology were stuck in his throat, and he could not say anything. “Xi Xi, I… I still have something to do. I’ll talk to you when I have time.”
Qiao Xi grunted coldly. “Young Master Kang, you’re a noble count, after all. Don’t be so rash. Don’t be fooled when others cry in front of you, making you go crazy and look for trouble with me. It’s fine if you don’t apologize this time, but I won’t let it slide so easily the next time.”
Kang Jichuan’s face instantly turned red. He hurriedly hung up and asked with a frown, “When did the Gu family send the invitation?”
The assistant replied, “It was just delivered. That person said that Young Master Gu Yao doesn’t want Miss to attend the banquet, but Miss is Old Madam Gu’s savior. Old Madam Gu has been insisting on inviting Miss to attend, so Young Master Gu Yao had no choice but to agree.”
Kang Jichuan pursed his lips and was silent for a long time. He sighed helplessly. “Let’s go see Qingzhi.”
