Everyone stood at the side and watched for a long time. They also understood the ins and outs of the matter now. To put it bluntly, Old Madam Kang did not like her wandering granddaughter, so she concluded that Qiao Xi had made a mistake. Now that she realized that it was a misunderstanding, she wanted to put on the airs of an elder and force Qiao Xi to forgive her.
The person who spoke just now said in a mocking tone, "She's forcing the younger generation to forgive her just because she's old. Even if some people are old, they're still full of evil tricks!"
Kang Ru gasped, and his face was ashen as he gritted his teeth. He had never been so embarrassed in his life. At this moment, he did not want to say anything. He pulled Old Madam Kang along and was about to leave when she stood stiffly on the spot and glared fiercely at Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi raised her eyes and met her gaze, her gaze calm.
A few years ago, Old Madam Kang came to Li City once. At that time, she had a meal at Fragrance Hotel. After so long, she was still thinking about the food in Fragrance Hotel. Now that she was finally here but was not allowed to eat here, of course, she was unwilling.
Old Madam Kang shook off Kang Ru and said self-righteously, "Qiao Xi, I'm your biological grandmother. Since you've booked a private room in Fragrance Hotel, let us have it!"
The surroundings fell silent, and everyone was once again shocked by Old Madam Kang's shamelessness. After a few seconds of silence, Qiao Xi chuckled. "Old Madam Kang, you want my private room?"
"Can't I? It's our first time meeting and you didn't even prepare a gift. It's not too much for me to want this private room, right?" Old Madam Kang looked at her sideways and raised her head arrogantly.
Qiao Xi did not even bother to look at them. She pulled Gu Zheng in. Seeing this, Old Madam Kang hurriedly shouted, "Why don't we use the same private room? In any case, there are only two of you. The private room is so big. You can easily let us join you."
Old Madam Kang knew very well that the smallest private room in Fragrance Hotel could seat six people. Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi would only occupy two seats, so there would still be room even for Qingzhi and Jichuan.
Qiao Xi frowned. Was Old Madam Kang really the madam of a noble family? Why did she look like a shrew in the market? Although Madam Tan from the Brook family had ill intentions, she at least had the bearing of a noble. She would not shout.
The first time she saw Madam Tan, Qiao Xi observed her. She was indeed the madam of a noble family. Her clothes were very exquisite, and her every move was elegant and noble. She maintained the posture of a noble madam at all times, but Old Madam Kang did not have the aura of a noble at all!
Just as Qiao Xi was complaining in her heart, the surrounding people could not help but mock, "Old Madam Kang, do you still have any shame? It's clearly Kang Qingzhi who offended the boss of Fragrance Hotel, but you didn't distinguish right or wrong and wrongly accused Miss Qiao. Now that you realize that it's a misunderstanding, it's fine that you're unwilling to apologize, but you're even so arrogant as to occupy Miss Qiao's private room. Do you have the word 'shame' in your dictionary?"
Old Madam Kang had never been humiliated like this before. She glared at that person with widened eyes. The person who spoke was a socialite who was dressed exquisitely. She snorted fearlessly. "I'm telling the truth! I have to say it even if you glare at me!"
At this moment, Kang Ru's face was burning. Old Madam Kang pointed at the socialite, then at Qiao Xi. She was so angry that the loose flesh on her face trembled. "Y-You actually dare to offend me? I'm the old madam of the Kang family!"
"So what?!" The person who spoke this time was a noblewoman standing beside the socialite. "Old Madam Kang, this is Li City, not your territory. Moreover, no matter who you are, you have to be reasonable. If you continue to fool around, I don't mind reporting to the leader of Y Nation and getting him to bring you back."
Old Madam Kang was so angry that her eyes rolled back. It was as if she would faint the next second.
Kang Ru's face flushed red as he hurriedly apologized to everyone. He glanced at Qiao Xi with a complicated expression and pulled Old Madam Kang along. He said in a low voice, "Mother, let's go."
At this moment, no matter how dissatisfied Old Madam Kang was, she could only leave first. If that noblewoman really reported it to the leader of Y Nation, they would be in trouble.
Looking at the disdainful gazes around them, Kang Ru advised in a low voice, "Mom, the people who come to Fragrance Hotel to eat are all rich and noble. It's not strange for them to know Y Nation's leaders. We definitely can't offend them. Moreover, we've just invested in our perfume company and are preparing to promote our perfumes with all our might. We can't have any negative news."
The Kang family was a noble family in Y Nation. On the surface, they looked glamorous and had a noble status, but there were many people watching them from behind. Once a scandal was exposed, others would definitely seize the opportunity to publicize it.
