A mber of the jury muttered, "Three years ago, when I first slled Miss Kang's perfu, I thought it was very stunning. It's just that the end notes were a little strange, and the na didn't match. So this is how it is…"
Kang Qingzhi's face was pale. The horror in her heart drowned her bit by bit like a tide. She gritted her teeth and retorted, "Nonsense! If I really stole your perfu recipes, why would I release those flawed versions? You were clearly the one who deliberately researched my perfus and modified them to malign . You're using this to go against !"
Everyone was also very puzzled. Kang Qingzhi was not a fool. Since she wanted to steal, why didn't she steal the perfect perfu recipes but the flawed ones?
"Heh." Qiao Xi sneered, and her eyes were filled with ridicule. "Miss Kang, don't you know this? Since the perfu recipes I wrote were destined to be stolen or snatched away by you, why should I leave the perfect versions to you? Five years ago, when I was in the Kang family's villa, I knew that you would steal my perfu recipes, so I deliberately changed one of the spices. Hence, the 20 or so perfu recipes you stole are all flawed."
Kang Qingzhi's heart trembled, and her body gradually stiffened.
At this mont, Kang Jichuan could not help but think of five years ago. Xi Xi had told him that Qingzhi had stolen her perfu recipes, but Qingzhi cried aggrievedly and said that the perfu recipes were hers. Xi Xi wanted to steal them and fought back after she was discovered.
At that ti, he believed Qingzhi's words. All these years, Qingzhi had not let him down. She had won two consecutive championships in the perfu competition, which made him even more sure of his choice back then.
However, at this mont, he felt inexplicably flustered.
He said with a gloomy expression, "Bright Moon, let's talk about this in private."
Kang Ru's eyes were filled with heartache. Qingzhi stole Xi Xi's perfu recipes? Then why didn't Xi Xi tell him? Did she not trust him?
Everyone looked at Kang Qingzhi with strange gazes. Her expression was extrely ugly, and she could only lower her head and grit her teeth. Fortunately, Qiao Xi did not have any substantial evidence. All of this was just her side of the story, so there was still room for negotiation.
Right!
Kang Qingzhi instantly looked up, and her expression was vicious for a mont. "Bright Moon, you said that you knew that I would steal your perfu recipes, so you deliberately changed one of the spices. In that case, why did you stay in the Kang family's villa?"
At this mont, Old Madam Kang pointed at Qiao Xi and cursed, "That little b*tch was greedy for the Kang family's wealth, so she was unwilling to leave!"
Qiao Xi sneered. "Since you have such a question, I'll answer it. I'm just afraid that you won't dare to confront after."
She glanced coldly at the Kang family. "Old Madam Kang said that I wanted to stay with the Kang family because I coveted the Kang family's wealth. In that case, don't bla for not showing the Kang family any rcy."
Kang Ru hurriedly went forward and said in a gentle voice, "Xi Xi… Bright Moon, you can talk to about it if you have problems. You don't have to… I'm not targeting you. Jichuan and Qingzhi don't want to make things difficult for you either. How did you end up like this? At that ti, you were the one who wanted to stay in the Kang family. How could you bla Qingzhi? Moreover, even if those perfu recipes were yours, it won't be a problem to give them to Qingzhi. After all, you're…"
At this point, Kang Ru paused. He did not have the courage to reveal Qiao Xi's identity in public.
Kang Ru looked at her in disappointnt. "Bright Moon, since you gave the perfu recipes to Qingzhi but changed the important spices, you… Aren't you harming her?"
A mber of the jury was unhappy. "Mr. Kang, whether the perfu recipes were stolen or given by Bright Moon, Kang Qingzhi can't participate in the competition with soone else's perfu recipes. She even accused Bright Moon of plagiarism. You're Miss Kang's father, so of course, you have to protect her. However, you can't be so unreasonable."
Kang Ru retorted with an ashen expression, "What do you know? Qingzhi is careful and kind. It's impossible for her to—"
Qiao Xi looked at the man in front of her and lost her patience. She interrupted coldly, "Everyone, let's return to the original question. Why did I still stay in the Kang family's villa when I clearly knew that my perfu recipes would be stolen?"
Kang Qingzhi's face was pale, and her thin body swayed slightly as if she was going to faint the next second.
"Because…" Qiao Xi's voice was cold.
Before she could finish, soone suddenly pushed open the door. Xue Liang, who was tall and exuded a murderous aura, walked in. There was a group of people behind him. They pointed at Kang Qingzhi in disdain. "Take her away!"
Judge Sun's expression froze as he hurriedly stopped him loudly. "Mr. Xue, what are you doing? Your Xue family is indeed an investor in the perfu competition, but you can't be so arrogant!"
Xue Liang glanced at him coldly. "We want to take a suspect away. Don't you agree, Judge Sun?"
Suspect? Everyone was puzzled.
