Chapter 1547 - 1547 Killing At A Disagreement
1547 Killing At A Disagreement
Qiao Xi clicked her tongue. Why was Kang Qingzhi crying again? She was using her tears to gain sympathy. Such methods were really despicable.
Gu Yao said angrily, “Qiao Xi has never been a bad person. Even if she really pushed you into the water, it was because you provoked her first! Kang Qingzhi, why don’t you tell us what you’ve done? You’re crying in front of everyone to seek justice. Do you want to use public opinion to target Qiao Xi?”
Kang Qingzhi’s expression carried a trace of panic. She knew that there would definitely be people who would not believe her if she said that Qiao Xi pushed her into the water, but there was only one chance. If she could pin this crime on Qiao Xi, her goal would be achieved. Otherwise, who knew when she would have something on Qiao Xi again?
She widened her eyes and looked at Gu Yao, her eyes filled with sorrow and confusion. “Mr. Gu Yao, I really don’t understand what you mean. I do have some grudges against Mrs. Gu. I did talk to her for a while, but it was just because I don’t know anyone in the Gu family, so I went forward to greet her. However, Mrs. Gu pushed me into the water, causing me to almost choke to death.
“What if I had really drowned? I was in the water for half an hour and suffered so much. All I want now is an apology. Young Master Gu Yao, are you unwilling to even give me an apology?
“Even if I really said something wrong and offended Mrs. Gu, she can’t kill me in a fit of anger!”
The guests present all had business dealings with the Gu family or Gu Corporation. No one wanted to offend Gu Zheng, but they had to admit that Kang Qingzhi’s words made sense. Even if Kang Qingzhi had offended Mrs. Gu, she could not kill someone without a word, right? This was not the way to do things!
At this moment, a socialite dressed exquisitely could not help but say, “Mr. Gu, Miss Kang is right. No matter what she said, Mrs. Gu shouldn’t have tried to kill her. She’s disregarding the law!
“If anyone dares to say a few words and anger Mrs. Gu, does that mean they’ll have to die? In that case, who will dare to interact with Mrs. Gu in the future? They’re afraid that they’ll die if they say anything wrong. If they accidentally quarrel, their entire family will be implicated!”
When Kang Qingzhi heard that person stand up and criticize Qiao Xi, the resentment in her heart was finally vented.
This scene seemed to be similar. Five years ago, Qiao Xi was also criticized by everyone like this. Five years later, she still fell into such a predicament and could not explain herself.
Kang Qingzhi looked at Gu Zheng with eyes filled with tears. “Mr. Gu, no matter what, I’m Old Madam Gu’s savior. Old Madam Gu was the one who invited me to this banquet. In everyone’s eyes, I’m an honored guest of the Gu family. Now, Mrs. Gu actually attacked me, her grandmother’s savior. Isn’t this too much?!
“At that time, Old Madam Gu was in danger. At that critical moment, I rushed over without hesitation. Old Madam Gu is also very grateful to me, but Mrs. Gu wants to kill me. Could it be that she thinks that I shouldn’t have saved Old Madam Gu, so she tried to get rid of me?”
Everyone’s expressions froze.
She made it sound as if Mrs. Gu did not want Old Madam Gu to live!
It would be fine if it was a conflict between two women. After all, the previous perfume competition had caused an uproar online. Everyone knew that Kang Qingzhi had framed Qiao Xi, but if it involved Old Madam Gu, the situation would change.
Kang Qingzhi was Old Madam Gu’s savior. Logically speaking, Mrs. Gu should be grateful to her, so why did she want to kill Kang Qingzhi? Could it be that Mrs. Gu and Old Madam Gu were not on good terms? Thinking about it more deeply, this car accident might have been Mrs. Gu’s doing. Unexpectedly, Kang Qingzhi appeared halfway and saved Old Madam Gu, ruining Mrs. Gu’s plan. That was why Mrs. Gu wanted to kill Kang Qingzhi in a fit of anger.
There were too many grudges between noble families. Everyone had experience with infighting. It was not as if they had never seen such a thing before, so they had to think of the worst.
At the thought of what Mrs. Gu might have done, everyone could not help but feel a chill run down their spine. A young lady in her 20s was actually so vicious. If Old Madam Gu knew that her granddaughter-in-law wanted to harm her, how would she feel?
Kang Qingzhi watched as everyone’s eyes gradually became filled with fear and disgust. She could not help but feel carefree.
Not only did she want Qiao Xi’s reputation to be ruined, but she also wanted the Gu family to hate her and make Old Madam Gu completely break off all ties with her. At that time, Gu Zheng would be stuck in the middle and would have no choice but to make a decision.
