Chapter 1508 Sorry, I'm Late

When Kang Jichuan heard everyone's discussion, he was even angrier. Qingzhi had already explained everything for Xi Xi, but Qiao Xi did not thank her at all. She even said that Qingzhi had stolen her perfume recipes.

He knew that Qingzhi was obedient. She had always felt guilty toward Xi Xi, so she tried her best to protect her. However, why was Xi Xi still unwilling to let Qingzhi off?

Kang Qingzhi's eyes were filled with tears. She looked pitiful. "Brother, you must believe Sister. She wouldn't…"

Kang Jichuan's heart ached. Five years ago, Qingzhi also tried to please Xi Xi. In order to be able to stay in this family, she humbled herself.

At first, when the two of them had a conflict, he chose to believe Qiao Xi. However, later on, he realized that something was wrong. No matter what Xi Xi said, Qingzhi never retorted. She always hid and wiped her tears alone. After he carefully investigated, he found out that Xi Xi had deliberately wronged Qingzhi. Qingzhi was wronged, but she endured it and did not dare to say anything. She could only cry in the dead of the night.

Kang Jichuan's heart ached. Qingzhi had suffered so much back then. He could not repeat the same mistake.

"Qingzhi, stop crying. Just focus on the competition. The competition's organizers are still investigating Bright Moon. I believe it won't be long before the results are out. Don't interfere with anything."

"I… I owe my sister. I want to help her…"

"Qingzhi!" Kang Jichuan was extremely annoyed and raised his voice a little. "You've been helping her absolve herself, but she's always thinking of making things difficult for you! Don't care about these things anymore. The competition is the most important thing."

Kang Qingzhi nodded obediently, wiped her tears, and followed Xu Ling on stage.

Old Madam Kang looked at Kang Qingzhi's back view, and her heart ached. Then, she gritted her teeth and said, "Qiao Xi is really a jinx. She caused chaos in the Kang family before she even officially returned. She seduced the judges, bullied Qingzhi, and even slandered Qingzhi for stealing her perfume recipes. She even used her dirty methods on us! Little b*tch!"

Faced with Kang Qingzhi's forbearance and grievances, the Kang family was already disgusted with Qiao Xi. Even Kang Ru, whose heart was filled with guilt, was increasingly disappointed in her.

If they really wanted to bring Xi Xi back to Y Nation, they could not let her go out often. If others found out that she was Bright Moon, who had seduced the judges, the Kang family would definitely lose all their dignity!

Not long after, the competition officially began. The contestants went on stage according to their numbers. The emcee announced, "Everyone, please draw lots to decide the perfume mixer you'll use for the competition. Participant No. 1 will start drawing lots."

Xu Ling whispered in Kang Qingzhi's ear, "Bright Moon won't appear considering the situation now. She thought that by seducing the judges, she could enter the finals. Unexpectedly, the truth always prevails. There's no concealing it. She was even photographed. How laughable!"

Kang Qingzhi shook her head helplessly. "Previously, when my sister was participating in the competition, I even took the initiative to help her, but she refused. In the end, she relied on this method to get first place. In the end, it's all my fault. If I had…"

"Qingzhi, you're too kind. People like her shouldn't participate in the competition. Now that I've reported her and she's withdrawing from the competition, don't you think the air is fresher here? She's just a sl*t. She reeks of a vixen and siren!"

Xu Ling's words were vulgar, and she did not hide the jealousy in her eyes. "She's seducing men everywhere just because she has a good-looking face. I don't know how many people have slept with her. She's so cheap!"

Kang Qingzhi tugged at the corner of her shirt and said softly, "Ling Ling, don't say that."

The emcee spoke again, "The drawing of lots has ended. All participants, please head to the perfume table according to the number you've drawn. Later, we—"

Before the emcee could finish, the door of the venue suddenly opened. A cold female voice came from outside. "Sorry, I'm late!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a slim figure slowly walking over from the door. She was wearing a dark blue dress and had a slender figure. Her dark and beautiful hair fell casually, and her skin was fair like jade. Her nose was small and exquisite, and her eyes were curved as she looked at everyone. She had the cuteness of a young woman and the charm of a woman.

The event location was silent for a few seconds before Xu Ling reacted. She pointed at Qiao Xi and roared, "Bright Moon! You still have the cheek to come and compete?!"

Bright Moon? She was Bright Moon?

Everyone instantly reacted. So, she was the perfumer who seduced the judges and was disqualified from the competition! She had already done such a scandalous thing. How could she still have the cheek to participate in the competition?

Qiao Xi's cold gaze swept past everyone before finally landing on Xu Ling.

Xu Ling…

Xu Anran and Xu Ling were both surnamed Xu. What was their relationship? Or was the Xu family Kang Qingzhi's chess piece?
