Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1533 Her Eyes Are Filled With Scheming

In Old Madam Gu’s eyes, Kang Qingzhi was a kind and brave girl. She did not know about the grudge between Kang Qingzhi and Qiao Xi at all. This girl was injured in order to save her, so of course, she had to visit her.

“Miss Kang, you’re from Country Y!” Old Madam Gu’s tone was gentle. “I’ve long heard of Mr. Kang Ru and Young Master Kang Jichuan. I didn’t expect to meet your family under such circumstances.”

Kang Ru had a noble status and liked to be admired by others. Now that he heard Old Madam Gu say this, his face was filled with smiles. “Perhaps our Kang family is fated with you, Old Madam Gu.”

“Mr. Kang, you’re really blessed to have nurtured such an outstanding daughter like Miss Kang!” Old Madam Gu praised, but there was a trace of alienation in her eyes. After Kang Qingzhi woke up, she had been by the bed. This young lady looked weak and innocent, but there was a trace of scheming in her eyes from time to time.

Old Madam Gu had been in charge of the Gu family her entire life and had seen many schemes and plots. Naturally, she would not make a mistake.

Although Old Madam Gu did not like this young lady, she was the one who saved her. Old Madam Gu pretended not to know anything and said with a loving expression, “Miss Kang, the Gu family is holding a banquet in two days. If you’ve recovered by then, how about you be a guest in the Gu family?”

Old Madam Gu felt a little afraid when she thought back to the dangerous scene today. If Kang Qingzhi had not rushed out, she would probably have died here. Hence, she was sincerely grateful to Kang Qingzhi.

A trace of success flashed past Kang Qingzhi’s eyes. She could not suppress the joy on her face. Just as she was about to speak, Aunt Fang’s excited voice came from the door. “Old Madam! Young Master and Young Madam are here.”

Qiao Xi, who was at the door, raised her eyebrows and looked at Kang Qingzhi. Her cold gaze instantly saw through her.

Kang Qingzhi’s expression froze slightly, then she lowered her head. Her thin body trembled as she said in horror, “Forget it, Grandma Gu. I… I won’t go.”

Old Madam Gu was a little surprised. “I’ve asked the doctor. The wounds on your body aren’t deep, but you can’t exert force on your wrist for the time being. It’s not a problem for you to attend the banquet. Your injuries will recover in three days. Can’t you come to the Gu family’s residence?”

“I-I…” Kang Qingzhi buried her head in her chest like an ostrich. Tears dripped onto her hospital gown, and her voice trembled. “It’s not because of my injuries, Grandma Gu. I saved you because of my subconscious reaction. Even if you weren’t the one in danger at that time, I would have helped you. I’m not using this incident to threaten you to repay me.”

Old Madam Gu was a little puzzled. “Why are you saying such things? Stop crying.”

The smile on Qiao Xi’s face grew wider and wider. Kang Qingzhi was really a good actress. She cried in front of Grandma Gu the moment she saw her because she wanted Grandma Gu to misunderstand her.

Before Kang Qingzhi could speak, Kang Jichuan subconsciously turned around and saw the person standing at the door. He frowned and said in a distant tone, “Xi Xi?”

When Kang Ru heard this name, he hurriedly turned around with a trace of shock in his eyes. He quickly lowered his eyes and said angrily, “Xi Xi, what are you doing here?”

Old Madam Gu looked at Qiao Xi, who was at the door, then at Kang Qingzhi. She sensed that their relationship was not good.

Qiao Xi nodded slightly at the two of them. “Mr. Kang, Young Master Kang, what a coincidence that we’re meeting here.”

Kang Ru said with a displeased expression, “Xi Xi, you shouldn’t be appearing in front of Qingzhi at this time. She’s seriously injured now and can’t be agitated—”

Before he could finish, Kang Qingzhi coughed as if she was going to faint the next second.

Qiao Xi sneered. “Mr. Kang, that’s funny. I didn’t come here to see Kang Qingzhi. Does my visit to my grandma affect you?”

Gu Zheng held Qiao Xi’s hand and glanced coldly at the Kang family. Then, he said slowly, “We came to the hospital today to visit Grandma and see the person who saved her. However, if Mr. Kang doesn’t welcome us, we can leave immediately. However, this hospital isn’t run by Mr. Kang. You don’t seem to have the right to chase us away.”

Hearing Gu Zheng’s words, Kang Ru’s expression froze.

“Dad, Old Madam Gu is Mr. Gu’s grandmother. Xi Xi and Mr. Gu are here to visit Old Madam Gu,” Kang Qingzhi explained softly, but her voice trembled slightly. She squeezed out a weak smile at Old Madam Gu. “Grandma Gu, I’m really sorry. Dad said those words because he’s worried about me.”

Kang Ru looked embarrassed and cleared her throat. “Xi Xi, you should know that Qingzhi almost lost her life to save Old Madam Gu. On the account of Old Madam Gu, don’t make things difficult for Qingzhi.”
