Chapter 1465 - 1465 Strong Evidence
1465 Strong Evidence
At this moment, when Xue Yi heard Kang Qingzhi’s words, her fists instantly stiffened. She wished for nothing more than to rush over and slap that b*tch, but she was stopped by Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi slowly raised her eyes and glanced at Kang Qingzhi with a calm gaze. “Are you so curious about whether I advanced?”
Kang Qingzhi’s thin body trembled as she hid behind Kang Jichuan like a frightened rabbit. “Sister Xi Xi, I… I’m just concerned about you. I… I don’t have any ill intentions.”
Kang Jichuan was unhappy. “Xi Xi, why are you bullying Qingzhi? She was just casually asking. It’s fine if you don’t want to say it, but Qingzhi’s health isn’t good. Don’t always frighten her like that.”
“I only asked a question, and my tone wasn’t bad. Is this called bullying?” Qiao Xi grunted coldly. “Since she’s so curious, I’ll tell her.”
She replied casually, “I was eliminated.”
The living room instantly fell silent.
Kang Ru did not know that Qiao Xi had participated in the perfume competition, but the daughter of the Kang family did not advance. It would not be pleasant if news of this got out!
Wen Lai’s eyes were slightly disappointed as well. Actually, it was normal for her not to advance. Qiao Xi was already very good at composing. She could not be so good at perfume-making. Even if she passed the audition, she would still have to participate in the competition. It was reasonable for her to be eliminated if she encountered a professional perfumer.
Hearing that Qiao Xi had not advanced, Wen Lai withdrew her gaze.
Kang Qingzhi apologized helplessly. “Sister Xi Xi, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to… hurt you. I just asked casually. I didn’t know… that you were eliminated.”
After she finished speaking, she hid behind Kang Jichuan in fear as if Qiao Xi would blame her.
Kang Jichuan, the escort, immediately stood up and criticized, “Xi Xi, you were eliminated because you weren’t capable enough. You can’t blame Qingzhi. Do you have to pretend to be cold?”
Madam Wen Lai subconsciously looked at everyone. Why did she feel that something was wrong? Qiao Xi did not seem to have said anything either. Why was Kang Jichuan criticizing her the moment he opened his mouth?
However, this was the Kang family’s family matter, after all. It was not appropriate for an outsider like her to interrupt, so she did not say anything.
However, in the next second, Qiao Xi abruptly raised her eyes as a trace of coldness flashed past her eyes. “Young Master Kang, I wasn’t eliminated because I wasn’t capable enough. There’s another reason behind it.”
“What other reason could there be? Xi Xi, I know you’re unhappy and want to compete with Qingzhi, but it’s a fact that you’re not capable enough. Why find an excuse for yourself? If you really like perfumes, you can get Qingzhi to teach you. There’s no need to use such a method.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Xi said unhurriedly, “I was eliminated because my opponent secretly manipulated things behind the scenes and bribed the judges.”
Her voice was very calm, but it was like a thunderclap that heavily struck everyone’s hearts.
Madam Wen Lai did not like to interfere in other people’s family matters, but when she heard Qiao Xi’s words, she instantly frowned. “Miss Qiao, you said that someone bribed the judges?”
Kang Qingzhi subconsciously lowered her head and bit her lip.
Kang Jichuan did not know that the person who made Qiao Xi be eliminated was Kang Qingzhi, but he still retorted, “Xi Xi, don’t spout nonsense. I know you think highly of yourself and don’t want to believe that you were eliminated, but if everyone who was eliminated suspects that the opponent bribed the judges, how will this competition continue?
“You’re not capable enough, yet you’re suspecting others. You have to know that there’s always someone better. There are many people who are more outstanding than you. Madam Wen Lai is here. Can you stop fooling around?!”
Kang Jichuan’s tone was impatient. He did not care about Qiao Xi and was just worried that Qingzhi would be implicated.
“Sister Xi Xi, it’s not scary to fail, but it’s a little too much to suspect the judges. The perfume competition is an international competition. Won’t you offend many people by saying this?” Kang Qingzhi said weakly.
Qiao Xi’s expression was indifferent as she said casually, “It’s not my suspicion, though. I’m sure of it because I have evidence.”
Boom!!!
Madam Wen Lai could not sit still anymore. She suddenly looked up. “Miss Qiao, do you really have evidence? If you can really prove that the other party manipulated things, I’ll definitely help you seek justice!”
Qiao Xi smiled as she glanced at Kang Qingzhi. The other party’s expression instantly changed, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
At this moment, Xue Yi looked at Kang Jichuan meaningfully, then said softly, “Hello, Madam Wen Lai. Let me introduce myself. I’m the daughter of the Xue family, Xue Yi.
“Since Xi Xi said this in public, she naturally has strong evidence. That’s why she thinks that someone bribed the judges.”
