Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Chapter 1548 - 1548 Suspicion

Chapter 1548 - 1548 Suspicion

1548 Suspicion
Kang Qingzhi had asked around about the Gu family. Gu Zheng had a cold personality, but he was very filial to Old Madam Gu. With Gu Zheng’s current identity, he only had one grandmother, but he could have many wives. There was no need for him to break off all ties with his biological grandmother for Qiao Xi.
After Qiao Xi lost Gu Zheng’s protection, she would be a person who was down on their luck. Anyone could trample on her.
Even if there was no evidence to prove that the car accident was Qiao Xi’s doing, once the seeds were planted, doubts would grow in everyone’s hearts. Old Madam Gu would definitely gradually hate Qiao Xi!
At the thought of this, Kang Qingzhi could not help but smile.!!
“Miss Kang, Xi Xi didn’t push you into the water because you saved me.” Just as Kang Qingzhi was feeling proud, an old but dignified voice came from the door.
Old Madam Gu was sitting in a wheelchair, but the aura she exuded was abnormally strong. Her sharp gaze landed on Kang Qingzhi. It was completely different from what Kang Qingzhi had expected.
“Miss Kang, I know Xi Xi very well. She’s very filial, and our relationship is very good, so Xi Xi must have pushed you into the water after you said something.”
Old Madam Gu’s words were very firm, making the smugness on Kang Qingzhi’s face disappear instantly.
Why? She was Old Madam Gu’s savior, yet Old Madam Gu suspected her in public?
Kang Qingzhi could not control her expression as it gradually became ferocious. What did this old woman mean? She had disregarded her own safety to save her, yet she actually wanted to protect Qiao Xi?
Moreover, what she said just now made sense. Why did Old Madam Qiao not suspect Qiao Xi at all?
She was clearly the one who was pushed into the water and the one who had suffered in the cold water, but she was still the one who was suspected in the end. Why were they all protecting Qiao Xi?
Qiao Xi slowly raised her eyes and revealed a provocative smile at Kang Qingzhi.
She had long said that not everyone was as stupid as Kang Jichuan. Five years ago, Kang Qingzhi tried to drive a wedge between her and Kang Jichuan by attempting suicide, but Gu Yao, Grandma Gu, and Gu Zheng would not fall for her same tricks.
They really treated her as family and knew her character very well. How could they believe Kang Qingzhi’s words?
Gu Zheng casually looked at Qiao Xi. Ever since Kang Qingzhi appeared, she had been standing there with an indifferent expression without a trace of panic. He knew very well in his heart that since Xi Xi dared to push Kang Qingzhi into the water, she must be 100% confident that she would not suffer a loss.
Kang Qingzhi felt that she could accuse Xi Xi just because she had suffered. She would understand what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot later!
The event location was silent. Old Madam Gu spoke again, her voice even more serious than before. “Miss Kang, what did you say to Xi Xi?”
Everyone held their breaths and quietly waited for Kang Qingzhi to speak.
As the old madam of the Gu family with the highest status, she had already asked a question. Even if Kang Qingzhi was her savior, she should answer. However, she did not say anything for a long time, which meant that she was panicking.
Seeing Old Madam Gu’s cold gaze, Kang Qingzhi was instantly scared out of her wits. Her eyes were red as she said pitifully, “Grandma Gu, I do have some grudges against Mrs. Gu. Actually, I came to the banquet to explain myself and beg Mrs. Gu to forgive me, but before I could say anything, she pushed me down.
“Even if I did say something to Mrs. Gu that she didn’t like to hear, she can’t push me into the water. If I hadn’t known how to swim, I would’ve drowned to death.”
Kang Qingzhi had said this just now. Now that she repeated it in front of Old Madam Gu, she wanted everyone to know that Qiao Xi had attempted murder!
It was only a matter of morals if she said something wrong, but it was a crime for Qiao Xi to push her into the water. It was obvious which was more serious.
Qiao Xi curled her lips and slowly walked toward Kang Qingzhi. She said casually, “Miss Kang, are you sure you want to talk about some things in front of everyone?”
Kang Qingzhi watched as Qiao Xi walked over with her aura fully released. Her heart thumped, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
She forcefully suppressed the fear in her heart and pretended to be strong as she glared at Qiao Xi. Her face was pale, and her round eyes were filled with tears. She was like a flower swaying in the wind. “Mrs. Gu, no matter what, I have to seek an explanation for myself today. Even if this is Li City and the Gu family’s territory, I’m not easy to bully. I’m the daughter of a noble in Y Nation, but I was almost killed at the Gu family’s banquet. I can’t just swallow my anger and do nothing!”
Although her father had been looking for his biological daughter all these years, Kang Qingzhi was sure that her father still cared about her. Once they found out that Qiao Xi had almost caused her death, her father and brother would definitely not forgive Qiao Xi and would completely break off ties with her.
