1486: She's A Jinx

She's A Jinx

Kang Jichuan was meticulous and had inherited a portion of Old Master Kang's business acumen. The company gradually improved in his hands. After Kang Qingzhi won the perfume competition, he invested in a company that specialized in perfumes for her. With the title of the champion of the International Perfume Competition, their business had been doing well all these years. This time, they invested another four billion yuan and even publicized it online. They wanted to completely cause a sensation in the perfume industry and become the leader of the perfume world.1

Old Madam Kang was very happy as if she could already see the Kang family's future.

All these years, the Kang family's life had not been as glamorous as it seemed. Although the Kang family was a noble family in Y Nation, ever since Old Master Kang passed away, the Kang family's business had plummeted. No one was shouldering their huge family business, and they were even mocked by everyone in high society. However, things were different now. The Kang family had produced a top perfumer. After this competition ended, Kang Qingzhi would be famous throughout the world. The Kang family's perfumes would also become popular brands worldwide. Before long, the Kang family would become the top noble family in Y Nation. They would have endless wealth to enjoy and a noble status.

The corners of Old Madam Kang's mouth curled up slightly, and her tone was very gentle. "Son, the two of us will rely on Jichuan and Qingzhi for our entire lives. You can't let Qingzhi suffer!"

Kang Ru smiled and nodded. "Qingzhi is my daughter. Of course, I won't let her suffer."

"But why did I hear that Qingzhi gave her room to that little b*tch?" Old Madam Kang's expression darkened as she said with disgust, "Ah Ru, before you came to Li City, I was against you coming to acknowledge her. So what if she's your biological daughter? She has been wandering outside for so many years and has been tainted with bad habits. She doesn't know noble etiquette at all. If she returns to the Kang family, she'll only embarrass us. Moreover, she even stole Qingzhi's room. If she returns to the Kang family, she'll turn the originally harmonious family upside down. It won't be a good thing!"

Kang Ru looked troubled. "Mom, Xi Xi is my biological daughter, after all. She hasn't been doing well outside all these years. I just want to make it up to her. Moreover, she's very sensible and won't compete with Qingzhi. As for that bedroom, Qingzhi was the one who took the initiative to give it up. Xi Xi didn't snatch it from her."

"That's because Qingzhi is sensible. She's afraid that you'll be stuck in the middle and be put in a difficult position. Why don't you know how to feel sorry for Qingzhi?!" Old Madam Kang berated loudly, "Qingzhi has always been obedient and sensitive. She always thinks about others first. She knows that you want to compensate Qiao Xi, so she took the initiative to give up her room. So as long as Qiao Xi is in the Kang family, Qingzhi will have to walk on eggshells!"

Old Madam Kang glared at him. "Qingzhi is kind-hearted. She'll choose to suffer on her own just so she can help others. If you don't protect her, what will this child do?! Moreover, Qingzhi can bring benefits to the Kang family. What can Qiao Xi do?

"I've long sent someone to investigate Qiao Xi's past. She grew up in the Qiao family since she was young. Now, the Qiao family is bankrupt and Qiao Rou even died in a car accident. After the Xu family came to acknowledge her and brought her back to the Xu family, Xu Zhi and Xia Lan divorced. Xu Anran went missing, and the Xia family was also implicated. Those who are related to Qiao Xi ended up in such a miserable state. Qiao Xi is a jinx. Are you going to watch helplessly as the Kang family falls to that state?"

Kang Ru wanted to open his mouth to explain, but he did not know where to start. Of course, he had investigated Xi Xi's past. It was the Qiao family who abused Xi Xi and almost caused her death. It was reasonable for her to take revenge on the Qiao family. As for Xu Zhi and Xia Lan's divorce, it was because they did not get along. How could Xi Xi be blamed for that?

He also knew that Xia Lan had pretended to be Yunqiu's younger sister for many years and had done many dirty things behind everyone's back. She had repeatedly framed Xi Xi. Xi Xi was already soft-hearted by not taking revenge on Xia Lan.

If Yunqiu were still alive and knew that Xia Lan had almost killed her child, she would definitely not let Xia Lan off.

At that time, Kang Ru did not think too much about it, but now that he heard his mother's words, he felt a little uneasy.

"Mother, I… I understand."

Old Madam Kang frowned unhappily. "You have to remember my words. Don't always be soft-hearted. Also, I heard from Jichuan that Qiao Xi slandered Qingzhi and accused her of stealing her perfume recipes. Is that true?"

Kang Ru looked puzzled. "I've never heard Xi Xi mention it before. Xi Xi and Qingzhi have only met twice. What's this about perfume recipes? Did Jichuan remember wrongly?"

Old Madam Kang suddenly fell silent. Jichuan was indeed not the one who said this. She had heard it from Qingzhi.
