1529 A Desperate Dog

Not long after, Kang Qingzhi posted an apology statement online. Although it was an apology, she pushed all the blame on Xu Ling. Some fans believed that their idol would not do such a thing, but most people did not believe her. Moreover, no matter what Kang Qingzhi said, it could not recover the Kang family’s losses.

At this moment, the Kang father and son were like cats on a hot tin roof. Kang Ru only liked women and was not good at business. He pushed the responsibility of the company to Kang Jichuan.

Kang Jichuan was anxious. As he thought of countermeasures, he was worried that Kang Qingzhi would not be able to withstand the curses online. However, Kang Qingzhi seemed to know what he was thinking. She said that the company’s matters had already annoyed her brother and he did not need to think about her. She had only been scolded a few times, so she did not care.

“Actually, this is my fault. It’s only right for me to be scolded. Sister Xi Xi just wants to take revenge on me. If you speak up for me, Sister Xi Xi… She’ll definitely be even angrier. She’ll think that you and Dad don’t like her and only dote on me, the adopted daughter. I don’t want you and Dad to be in a difficult position.

“No matter how I explain it now, Sister Xi Xi won’t believe me. She thinks that I framed her, so it’s reasonable for her to hate me. If being scolded can appease Sister Xi Xi’s anger, I really don’t care.”

As Kang Qingzhi spoke, tears trickled down her face. Her voice gradually choked. “Brother, I… I’m really fine. Don’t stand up for me anymore. Otherwise, Sister Xi Xi will definitely go farther and farther away from you…”

Kang Jichuan agreed with Kang Qingzhi, but he could not help but feel sorry for her. She had never been wronged since she was young, but this time, she was insulted by the entire internet.

At this moment, a trace of regret surged out of Kang Jichuan’s heart. If he had not reunited with Xi Xi back then, would there not have been such trouble later?

Kang Qingzhi knew very well that her father and brother still blamed her, but as long as she lowered her status and gave in, the Kang family would not be able to bear to blame her. Instead, they would think that all of this was Qiao Xi’s fault.

Although she had been seriously dealt with this time, it was not impossible to salvage the situation. She had other methods.

…

Now that the semi-finals of the International Fragrance Competition had ended, the results of the competition would be released in three days. The finals would be held a week later. The finals would be broadcasted live and the champion would be contested on the spot.

In order to increase the fun and fairness of the competition, after the judges gave the final results, they would also let the participants in the finals comment on everyone’s perfumes. If more than half of the participants felt that the rankings were inappropriate, the judges would discuss again to give the final results.

After Qiao Xi heard Zhao Xiang explain the rules, her expression was indifferent. It was probably because there were some situations that had happened in past competitions, so they had to be fair in everything now.

She stood up and left the office. As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw Twilight standing in the corridor. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his voice was low and hoarse with a trace of unique charm. “Miss Bright Moon, aren’t you worried about Kang Qingzhi cheating?”

“I’m not worried.”

Twilight’s smile grew wider. “You’re so confident?”

Qiao Xi said, “If I don’t even have this bit of confidence, why would I participate in the competition?”

Kang Qingzhi was now a cornered dog. In order to protect her reputation, she would definitely think of ways to win the championship. Anyway, her reputation was already like this. So what if she bribed the judges and suppressed her opponent?

However, the perfume recipes Kang Qingzhi used were left behind by her five years ago. Kang Qingzhi would definitely be worried that Qiao Xi had surpassed now that five years had passed, so she had to be prepared and unscrupulous to win the championship.

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at the man in front of her. “When you first came into contact with perfumes, you probably encountered people who were jealous and framed you. How did you deal with them?”

Twilight did not answer immediately. He stared at the girl in front of him with light brown eyes and said casually, “I became famous as soon as I entered the perfume world and was invited to be a judge in the perfume competition, so I’ve never encountered such a thing. Actually, it’s a pity for you to be a participant. You should sit on the judge’s seat.”

The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth twitched. This man clearly knew her identity, yet he still said it so vaguely. He was probably afraid of exposing that he was Gu Zheng!

She smiled slyly. “It’s so boring to be a judge! I like the feeling of competing in competitions. Moreover, I believe that Mr. Twilight is the fairest judge. If I encounter trouble, you’ll definitely help me!”

Twilight looked at the cute girl with eyes full of affection and tenderness. He turned his face away unnaturally and did not dare to look at her. His voice was hoarse. “As long as you need me, of course, I won’t refuse.”
