Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself



A member of the jury muttered, "Three years ago, when I first smelled Miss Kang's perfume, I thought it was very stunning. It's just that the end notes were a little strange, and the name didn't match. So this is how it is…"

Kang Qingzhi's face was pale. The horror in her heart drowned her bit by bit like a tide. She gritted her teeth and retorted, "Nonsense! If I really stole your perfume recipes, why would I release those flawed versions? You were clearly the one who deliberately researched my perfumes and modified them to malign me. You're using this to go against me!"

Everyone was also very puzzled. Kang Qingzhi was not a fool. Since she wanted to steal, why didn't she steal the perfect perfume recipes but the flawed ones?

"Heh." Qiao Xi sneered, and her eyes were filled with ridicule. "Miss Kang, don't you know this? Since the perfume recipes I wrote were destined to be stolen or snatched away by you, why should I leave the perfect versions to you? Five years ago, when I was in the Kang family's villa, I knew that you would steal my perfume recipes, so I deliberately changed one of the spices. Hence, the 20 or so perfume recipes you stole are all flawed."

Kang Qingzhi's heart trembled, and her body gradually stiffened.

At this moment, Kang Jichuan could not help but think of five years ago. Xi Xi had told him that Qingzhi had stolen her perfume recipes, but Qingzhi cried aggrievedly and said that the perfume recipes were hers. Xi Xi wanted to steal them and fought back after she was discovered.

At that time, he believed Qingzhi's words. All these years, Qingzhi had not let him down. She had won two consecutive championships in the perfume competition, which made him even more sure of his choice back then.

However, at this moment, he felt inexplicably flustered.

He said with a gloomy expression, "Bright Moon, let's talk about this in private."

Kang Ru's eyes were filled with heartache. Qingzhi stole Xi Xi's perfume recipes? Then why didn't Xi Xi tell him? Did she not trust him?

Everyone looked at Kang Qingzhi with strange gazes. Her expression was extremely ugly, and she could only lower her head and grit her teeth. Fortunately, Qiao Xi did not have any substantial evidence. All of this was just her side of the story, so there was still room for negotiation.

Right!

Kang Qingzhi instantly looked up, and her expression was vicious for a moment. "Bright Moon, you said that you knew that I would steal your perfume recipes, so you deliberately changed one of the spices. In that case, why did you stay in the Kang family's villa?"

Qiao Xi sneered. "Since you have such a question, I'll answer it. I'm just afraid that you won't dare to confront me after."ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

She glanced coldly at the Kang family. "Old Madam Kang said that I wanted to stay with the Kang family because I coveted the Kang family's wealth. In that case, don't blame me for not showing the Kang family any mercy."

Kang Ru hurriedly went forward and said in a gentle voice, "Xi Xi… Bright Moon, you can talk to me about it if you have problems. You don't have to… I'm not targeting you. Jichuan and Qingzhi don't want to make things difficult for you either. How did you end up like this? At that time, you were the one who wanted to stay in the Kang family. How could you blame Qingzhi? Moreover, even if those perfume recipes were yours, it won't be a problem to give them to Qingzhi. After all, you're…"

At this point, Kang Ru paused. He did not have the courage to reveal Qiao Xi's identity in public.

Kang Ru looked at her in disappointment. "Bright Moon, since you gave the perfume recipes to Qingzhi but changed the important spices, you… Aren't you harming her?"

A member of the jury was unhappy. "Mr. Kang, whether the perfume recipes were stolen or given by Bright Moon, Kang Qingzhi can't participate in the competition with someone else's perfume recipes. She even accused Bright Moon of plagiarism. You're Miss Kang's father, so of course, you have to protect her. However, you can't be so unreasonable."

Kang Ru retorted with an ashen expression, "What do you know? Qingzhi is careful and kind. It's impossible for her to—"

Qiao Xi looked at the man in front of her and lost her patience. She interrupted coldly, "Everyone, let's return to the original question. Why did I still stay in the Kang family's villa when I clearly knew that my perfume recipes would be stolen?"

Kang Qingzhi's face was pale, and her thin body swayed slightly as if she was going to faint the next second.

"Because…" Qiao Xi's voice was cold.

Before she could finish, someone suddenly pushed open the door. Xue Liang, who was tall and exuded a murderous aura, walked in. There was a group of people behind him. They pointed at Kang Qingzhi in disdain. "Take her away!"

Judge Sun's expression froze as he hurriedly stopped him loudly. "Mr. Xue, what are you doing? Your Xue family is indeed an investor in the perfume competition, but you can't be so arrogant!"

Xue Liang glanced at him coldly. "We want to take a suspect away. Don't you agree, Judge Sun?"

Suspect? Everyone was puzzled.
