Seeing this, Kang Jichuan hurriedly echoed, "Xi Xi, you have to consider the overall situation. Madam Wen Lai is extremely famous among the nobles, so we can't offend her. Moreover, Madam Wen Lai specially came to our house to visit Qingzhi. This is a rare opportunity. Even if you're dissatisfied, don't fool around first. After Madam Wen Lai leaves, we'll talk as a family."
Qiao Xi sneered in her heart.
As a family? Had they become a family now?
"Qingzhi, quickly go welcome Madam Wen Lai." At this moment, Kang Ru had already completely forgotten about Qiao Xi's grievances. His heart was filled with the desire to entertain Madam Wen Lai and pave the way for Kang Qingzhi's future.
Xue Yi looked at the Kang father and son and was about to explode from anger. They were too snobbish. Just because Kang Qing could bring honor to the Kang family, they did not care about Qiao Xi's feelings? Moreover, Kang Qingzhi's honor was stolen!
Kang Ru wanted to invite Madam Wen Lai in as soon as possible because he thought that Xi Xi would not dare to cause trouble in front of Madam Wen Lai again and could only swallow her anger. Xue Yi naturally saw through Kang Ru's thoughts, but he would never have expected that the show would continue!
She wanted to see how Kang Qingzhi would explain herself to Madam Wen Lai. She did not submit her work, but she could advance. A dignified noble socialite was secretly manipulating the competition. If news of this got out, where would the Kang family put their dignity?
Not long after, Kang Qingzhi slowly walked in with a woman in her 60s. She was elegant and dressed exquisitely.
Kang Ru had met Wen Lai a few times, but they were not very familiar with each other. It was just that he did not expect Wen Lai to personally visit Qingzhi.
"Hello, Madam Wen Lai," Kang Ru said gently.
"Thank you for coming, Madam Wen Lai. I'll thank you on behalf of Qingzhi." Kang Jichuan hurriedly went forward to greet her and supported Kang Qingzhi.
Madam Wen Lai nodded and said calmly, "Hello. I heard from Miss Kang that you recently moved to Li City, so I came to visit."
Kang Qingzhi was filled with pride as she glanced at Qiao Xi provocatively and smiled in embarrassment. "Madam Wen Lai, I originally came to Li City to recuperate. Coincidentally, this year's International Perfume Competition is also being held in Li City, so I signed up to participate. I didn't expect you to come and see me. It's really my honor."
Madam Wen Lai was a little surprised. "You signed up for the perfume competition?"
Kang Qingzhi won two past perfume competitions consecutively. Madam Wen Lai thought that she would continue to participate and win three consecutive championships. Unexpectedly, her health was not good, so she did not continue to participate. Madam Wen Lai felt that it was a pity, so when she heard that Kang Qingzhi was participating in the competition, she was a little surprised and excited.
"Miss Kang, you should have already advanced! You've won the championship twice, so you've definitely advanced. Are you confident in winning the championship this time?"
Kang Qingzhi smiled shyly. "Thank you for your praise. I was lucky the first two times. I heard that there are many outstanding contestants this year. I'm not sure if I can win the championship. Actually, the championship isn't that important to me. I just have to do my best and not regret it."
"Well said!" Madam Wen Lai's eyes were filled with admiration. She smiled and said, "Actually, I came this time to persuade you to participate in the competition. I didn't expect you to have already signed up."
Kang Qingzhi glanced at Qiao Xi. This woman's perfume recipes were indeed perfect. As long as she participated in the competition with Qiao Xi's work, she would definitely win the award.
The original owner of the perfume recipes was standing in front of everyone, but other than her, no one knew that these perfume recipes were all written by Qiao Xi. Back then, Qiao Xi knew that she had stolen the perfume recipes, yet she still developed them day and night. She was really an extremely stupid woman!
Kang Qingzhi curled the corners of her mouth. Suddenly, her eyes shifted as she said with a smile, "Madam Wen Lai, let me introduce you to my sister, Qiao Xi."
She stretched out her hand and pointed at Qiao Xi. Although there was a smile on her face, her eyes were filled with pride and provocation. "Sister Xi Xi, I heard that you signed up for the competition as well. Did you advance?"
When Madam Wen Lai heard the name Qiao Xi, she found it a little familiar. It was only when she saw Qiao Xi's face that she remembered who she was. Although she did not know when Qiao Xi became a member of the Kang family, since Kang Qingzhi said that Qiao Xi was her sister, then they must be very close.
Now that the Kang family already had an outstanding perfumer like Miss Kang, if Qiao Xi was also an extremely talented contestant, then it would be a good story for the two sisters to work together to make perfumes.
When she thought about this, Madam Wen Lai looked at Qiao Xi with anticipation.
