1535 A Life-Saving Grace Should Be Returned

Kang Qingzhi abruptly looked up and met Qiao Xi’s cold eyes. Qiao Xi’s tone was clearly very kind, but Kang Qingzhi could still see a sense of warning in her eyes.

If this car accident was planned by her, then Qiao Xi would definitely not let her off!

Kang Qingzhi’s already pale face was even paler now. If she continued to remain silent, she would really not have a chance. She had to take the opportunity to curry favor with Old Madam Gu and occupy an important position in the Gu family.

She knew very well that Gu Zheng was the king of Li City. If she could become Old Madam Gu’s benefactor, Gu Zheng would naturally help her. It was reasonable for her to interact with Gu Zheng in the future.

A life-saving grace should be repaid. She could not let Qiao Xi ruin her plan!

Kang Qingzhi’s eyes turned slightly red, and her face was filled with a flattering smile. “Sister Xi Xi, it’s not that I hate you, but there’s a misunderstanding between us. I thought that you wouldn’t want to see me, so I rejected Old Madam Gu’s invitation. I won’t ask you to forgive me. As long as I can attend the banquet with Sister Xi Xi and make Grandma Gu happy, I’ll be satisfied.”

Qiao Xi sneered in her heart.

Fortunately, Grandma Gu liked her and was a clear-headed person. Otherwise, after hearing Kang Qingzhi’s words, Grandma Gu would definitely think that she had bullied Kang Qingzhi and deliberately made things difficult for Grandma Gu’s savior.

This was Kang Qingzhi’s usual method. When she wanted to deal with someone, she would intentionally or unintentionally approach all their relatives and friends to drive a wedge between them.

However, Grandma Gu would not fall for it easily. Qiao Xi was sure that Grandma Gu had long known that Kang Qingzhi was not a kind person. It was just that Kang Qingzhi had saved her life, so she took the initiative to invite her to the banquet.

At this moment, Gu Zheng stood at the door of the ward and said slowly, “Since you’re so considerate and your injuries haven’t recovered, it’s better if you don’t go. After all, there’ll be many people at the banquet. If your injuries relapse, it’ll be our fault.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Song s.h.i.+jing went forward immediately and said calmly, “Miss Kang, you’re Old Madam Gu’s savior. You’ll be a guest of the Gu family in the future. Do you have any requests?”

Kang Qingzhi: “…”

She gritted her teeth and was so angry that she could not say anything. She had already said that she wanted to go, so why was Gu Zheng stopping her with just a few words?

She heard that the Gu family had invited all the n.o.ble families in Li City to this banquet. When the time came, she would attend as Old Madam Gu’s savior. The entire Li City would know about her relations.h.i.+p with the Gu family. She got so seriously injured this time. She could not waste her effort in the end!

Gu Zheng definitely knew what she was thinking, but because Qiao Xi hated her, he did not let her attend the banquet. How could they treat Old Madam Gu’s savior like this?

Kang Qingzhi was so angry that she wanted to jump up from the bed, but Gu Zheng did not even bother to look at her. He looked at Old Madam Gu. “Grandma.”

“Yes, I’ve also received a shock. I should go back and rest. Miss Kang, I’ll visit you when I have time.” As she spoke, Old Madam Gu slowly walked out of the ward with Aunt Fang’s help.

Kang Qingzhi widened her eyes as she watched Old Madam Gu leave the ward heartlessly.

She had risked her life to save this old woman! The old madam should be grateful and treat her as the most respected guest in the Gu family, but the old madam was also letting Qiao Xi fool around. Why did they dote on Qiao Xi so much?

Only the three people from the Kang family were left in the ward. Kang Qingzhi’s eyes were instantly filled with tears. She looked at Kang Jichuan aggrievedly and choked out the words, “Brother, do they… hate me very much?”

Kang Jichuan seemed to be thinking about something. When he heard Kang Qingzhi’s words, he came back to his senses. His eyes were filled with heartache as he comforted her softly. “No, it’s just that Xi Xi…”

She had really changed. Five years ago, Xi Xi also hated Qingzhi, but she would always quarrel with Qingzhi. She would not scheme against Qingzhi like now.

On the surface, it seemed that Xi Xi was not attending the banquet to fulfill Qingzhi’s wish, but she was actually trying to sow discord between Qingzhi and Old Madam Gu.

Qingzhi had risked her life to save the old madam, but Xi Xi was not grateful at all. She actually schemed against Qingzhi like this. Was this how they treated their savior?

A trace of anger surged in Kang Jichuan’s heart. He said firmly, “Qingzhi, don’t worry. I’ll help you seek justice. You’re Old Madam Gu’s savior. No matter what misunderstanding there was before, Xi Xi shouldn’t have done this to you!”
