1552 Don’t Talk Too Much
Kang Qingzhi gritted her teeth and could not say a word. She could only lower her head, her eyes filled with viciousness. After a long silence, she said in a trembling voice, “Sister Xi Xi, I… I was just joking back then, but you…”
“Qingzhi!” Suddenly, a worried male voice came from the door.
Kang Jichuan quickly ran over. The moment she saw him, Kang Qingzhi’s tears fell like pearls. Her eyes were filled with grievances. When Kang Jichuan saw his drenched and pitiful sister, anger surged within him.
“Qingzhi, what exactly happened?”
Kang Qingzhi bit her lip and lowered her head like a frightened little white rabbit. “It’s… It’s nothing. I was careless…”
Seeing her like this, Kang Jichuan subconsciously looked at Qiao Xi with a questioning gaze.
It must be Qiao Xi! It was the same five years ago. Qingzhi was always bullied, but she still had to cover for Qiao Xi. She clearly felt aggrieved, but she could only silently cry.
Kang Jichuan knew very well in his heart that Qingzhi was afraid that he would be stuck in the middle and placed in a difficult position. She was also afraid that he would blame Qiao Xi and it would affect their relationship as siblings.
At first, when Qiao Xi made a mistake, he only reprimanded her a little and did not punish her. However, she refused to repent and continued to bully Qingzhi. He could not sit idly by anymore!
He frowned and said angrily, “Xi Xi, no matter what conflict you have with Qingzhi, you can just sit down and talk. Why are you doing this to her?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yao exploded and said in a mocking tone, “Kang Jichuan, you’re accusing Qiao Xi without distinguishing right or wrong. You’re really a good brother!”
Gu Yao specially emphasized the words ‘good brother’ to mock Kang Jichuan. He was clearly Qiao Xi’s biological brother, but he always spoke up for Kang Qingzhi. He had just entered and did not know anything yet, but he insisted that Qiao Xi had bullied Kang Qingzhi. Wasn’t he biased against Qiao Xi?
When Kang Jichuan heard Gu Yao’s words, he felt uncomfortable all over. However, this was the Gu family, after all. He could not quarrel with Gu Yao. He could only suppress his anger and retort, “Second Young Master Gu! Can’t you see that Qingzhi is wet and even crying aggrievedly? She’s already like this. Could it be that she bullied Xi Xi?”
Gu Yao could not help but roll his eyes. At this moment, he deeply understood what it meant to be non-speculative.
Seeing that he was silent, Kang Jichuan looked at Qiao Xi and sighed helplessly. “Xi Xi, you also know that Qingzhi is an honored guest invited by Old Madam Gu. No matter how dissatisfied you are, you can’t do this! On the account of Old Madam Gu, we’ll forget about this matter, but you can’t bully Qingzhi anymore!”
Qiao Xi glanced at him coldly. Kang Jichuan was still the same as before. As long as Kang Qingzhi cried, he would feel that Kang Qingzhi had suffered a great grievance.
In her memory, many similar things had happened before, and some misunderstandings were even more serious than this. Perhaps in Kang Jichuan’s heart, she was a vicious girl. On the other hand, Kang Qingzhi was a pitiful but still strong and understanding woman.
Just as Kang Jichuan was about to help Kang Qingzhi leave, he suddenly heard an angry roar from behind. “Wait!”
The two of them stopped in their tracks and slowly turned around. Gu Yao’s expression was gloomy, and there was a cold smile on his lips. “Young Master Kang, don’t be in a rush to leave! I think you need to know the ins and outs of the matter.”
Kang Qingzhi’s body instantly tensed up.
Kang Jichuan frowned unhappily. “That’s not necessary. Second Young Master Gu, you don’t have to sow discord between Qingzhi and me—”
“I really can’t take it anymore!” The person who interrupted Kang Jichuan this time was the socialite who knew lip-reading just now. She looked at Kang Qingzhi with extreme disgust and said in a disdainful tone, “Young Master Kang, please use your brain to think. Kang Qingzhi is crying in the banquet hall, but why is everyone so indifferent?”
Before Kang Jichuan could say anything, the socialite continued, “Because she reaped what she sowed! She fell into the water to frame Mrs. Gu and even clamored to call the police. Unexpectedly, Second Young Master Gu found the surveillance footage and exposed the truth in front of everyone!
“She deliberately fell into the water to slander Mrs. Gu. Even if she’s dead, she’s not worthy of sympathy! We hate her not because this is the Gu family and we have to speak up for Mrs. Gu, but because Miss Kang is vicious. She failed to frame others and is now biting back!”
Kang Qingzhi’s already pale face instantly turned gray.
