As soon as the word 'murder' was spoken, everyone gasped and looked at Qiao Xi in shock. Mrs. Gu was too bold to push soone into the water at the Gu family's banquet!
At this mont, Kang Qingzhi's entire body was drenched, and a long trail of water was left on the floor. She was in an extrely sorry state, and she did not look like she had been wrongly accused. Moreover, if she really slandered Qiao Xi and was discovered by the Gu family, her reputation would definitely be worse than before. Hence, there was a high chance that this matter was true.
Everyone looked at Qiao Xi with gazes filled with doubt.
Kang Qingzhi could not stop her tears from flowing. Her body was trembling slightly like a little white flower that was still standing despite the wind and rain. "Mrs. Gu, you have a noble status, but today is the Gu family's banquet, after all. You pushed into the water without caring about the occasion. No matter what, you have to apologize to . Otherwise, I'll call the police!"
Hearing that she was going to call the police, the event location instantly beca noisy.
They were all famous figures in Li City, and they were attending a banquet. If the police were to make an appearance, everyone would feel awkward.
Gu Zheng glanced indifferently at Kang Qingzhi. His gaze was cold and sharp, causing Kang Qingzhi's body to tremble uncontrollably. She hurriedly lowered her eyes. Since she had already accused Qiao Xi in public, she had to be as stubborn as a mule. Moreover, it was a fact that Qiao Xi had pushed her into the water. She had not wronged Qiao Xi!
Kang Qingzhi raised her voice and questioned, "Mrs. Gu, you brazenly pushed into the water. Can't I just ask for an apology? There are so misunderstandings between you and , but I've already apologized and asked for peace humbly. You almost killed . As the madam of the Gu family, can you do such evil things? You're already so arrogant at the Gu family's banquet. I don't know how you'll deal with in the future! Moreover, since you dare to treat like this today, you'll definitely hurt others in the future!"
Although the guests did not speak, their eyes revealed agreent. When they looked at Qiao Xi, their gazes could not help but be tainted with a trace of disdain.
Kang Qingzhi's words were sharp. Mrs. Gu was too arrogant. She was brazenly attempting murder at the Gu family's banquet. If anyone offended her, wouldn't they have no way out?
Under everyone's gazes, Gu Yao broke the silence first. "Miss Kang, what right do you have to question Qiao Xi? Don't you know what you've done?
"At the Gu family's banquet, you're just an outsider, and Xi Xi is the madam of the Gu family. Don't keep bringing up the na of the Gu family. You're pretending to show off your consideration for the Gu family in front of Xi Xi. I feel disgusted just listening to you!"
Gu Yao's words made everyone present widen their eyes as they did not understand what he ant.
Showing off in front of Qiao Xi?
Kang Qingzhi understood what Gu Yao ant. A trace of panic flashed past her eyes, then she retorted with teary eyes, "Young Master Gu, when did I show off? You can't malign in public just to get Mrs. Gu out of trouble! Moreover, even if I really said sothing, Mrs. Gu shouldn't have pushed into the water, right?! I'm wearing such a long dress, which hindered from swimming well. I choked a few tis and almost died. Mrs. Gu wanted to kill !"
Gu Yao looked at her in disdain. How did the Kang family raise such a scheming b*tch?
Perhaps Kang Qingzhi thought that she was acting well, looking all pitiful, but Gu Yao had long seen through her. Kang Qingzhi's eyes were filled with hatred and resentnt. She did not just want an apology. She wanted to destroy Qiao Xi!
At this mont, Gu Zheng suddenly looked at Kang Qingzhi. His voice was low and dignified. "Miss Kang, have you forgotten what you said so quickly?"
Kang Qingzhi t Gu Zheng's gaze and could not help but tremble. She was very puzzled. With Gu Zheng's power and wealth, he could have any woman he wanted. Why did he have to be inflexible and stubborn with Qiao Xi?
She was clearly much more outstanding than Qiao Xi. Everyone in the Kang family liked her. Moreover, a domineering man like Gu Zheng needed a gentle woman by his side, not an arrogant and domineering woman like Qiao Xi who only knew how to cause trouble.
However, why did Gu Zheng have to protect Qiao Xi even if it ant offending the Kang family?
Kang Qingzhi was silent for a long ti before gritting her teeth and saying, "Mr. Gu, I know you dote on Mrs. Gu and will definitely protect her, but she's the one who pushed into the water now. Why are you and Mr. Gu Yao making things difficult for ?"
With that, Kang Qingzhi's tears gushed out as if a valve had been opened. His voice was filled with grievance. "Mrs. Gu, you have a noble status. I don't dare to offend you, but I just want an apology. Can't I even do this?"
