Kang Jichuan was silent for a few seconds before agreeing. "Alright, Qingzhi, we'll do as you say. After the competition, you'll stay in Li City to recuperate. With me around, you'll definitely be healthy and happy. You'll always be the most favored daughter of the Kang family!"
Kang Qingzhi smiled sweetly, but her eyes were filled with pride. It would be too easy for Qiao Xi to go to jail now. She should let her see the glory that belonged to her get snatched away and her family members abandoning her one by one. Only then could she enter prison in despair and pain. In the end, she would have to endure the torture of having her blood drawn.
Kang Qingzhi returned to the bedroom in satisfaction, picked up her phone, and made a call. "I made a mistake previously. Qiao Xi definitely won't have a chance to make a comeback this time!"
A young and arrogant voice came from the other end of the phone. "Are you so sure?"
Kang Qingzhi smiled. "All the plans have been arranged. Moreover, the Kang family believes in me. We have evidence too. Qiao Xi has Gu Zheng by her side, but our Kang family also has power. When the matter blows up, even Gu Zheng won't be able to protect her."
The other party was silent for a few seconds before replying coldly, "Alright! We have to succeed this time! If Qiao Xi goes to jail, we have many ways to kill her. As long as she dies, we won't have anything to worry about. She won't be a threat to both of us anymore. She should have died a long time ago. There's no need for her to appear again."
Kang Qingzhi replied and hung up. Her eyes were filled with viciousness.
She picked up the perfume recipe on the table and memorized the spices and the production process. She then fell asleep in satisfaction.
The next day.
Many people were gathered at the venue of the International Fragrance Competition. As the finals were being broadcasted live, reporters and cameramen from various platforms had long rushed to the event location. They set up their machines and were waiting for the competition to start.
Gu Yao asked anxiously, "Kang Qingzhi is already riding on your head. Why aren't you reacting at all? If it's not convenient for you to do anything, I'll help you deal with her. Who does she think she is?! She even said that she's Mu Jin. Is she worthy?"
Ever since the previous incident, Gu Yao had always felt that the perfume competition was unfair. Now that Kang Qingzhi had the identity of a genius like Mu Jin, even if Qiao Xi's perfume was more outstanding than Kang Qingzhi's perfume, those judges who were blinded by fame and fortune would still stand on Kang Qingzhi's side.
Qiao Xi did not say anything. Gu Yao looked around and frowned unhappily. "Where's Gu Zheng? Today is the day of your finals. Why isn't he here to send you off? He even specially asked me to accompany you. How is he your husband? He doesn't even care about you! If this goes on, you'll run away with someone else sooner or later!"
Qiao Xi could not help but laugh in her heart. If Gu Zheng heard Gu Yao's words, he would definitely be beaten up.
After Gu Yao finished speaking angrily, there was a commotion outside. Then, he saw a man wearing a black mask.
Gu Yao: "…"
At the thought of how he had been beaten up in the past, he trembled nervously. "I think my brother didn't accompany you here because he had something urgent to attend to. He likes you so much. If he wasn't busy, he would definitely have accompanied you here."
"Oh." Qiao Xi glanced at him with a faint smile, then looked at the man at the door.
Hah! Bastard!
At this moment, the Kang family's car slowly stopped outside the door.
Kang Jichuan helped Old Madam Kang out of the car and went to the audience section with Kang Ru. Every participant could bring their family to watch the competition. As it was the finals, the Kang family was all here.
Kang Jichuan instructed, "Qingzhi, don't talk to Xi Xi when you see her. You can't be blamed for what happened before. She brought it upon herself. If she comes looking for trouble with you again, I'll support you."
Kang Qingzhi shrunk her neck in fear and smiled sweetly. "Brother, I'm fine. If my sister doesn't bully me anymore, don't sue her. She's your biological sister, after all."
Kang Jichuan had a complicated expression. "The competition is about to start. Hurry up and go in."
The moment Kang Qingzhi appeared, it immediately became lively. The reporters came over one after another. "Miss Kang, I'm your fan! Mu Jin was a sensation in the perfume world back then. Why did you give up this identity?"
"I bought all the perfumes you concocted back then, but the production has already stopped. Those perfumes have all become a collection. May I ask if there's still a chance to resume production?"
