Chapter 1466 - 1466 They No Longer Have A Bottom Line

1466 They No Longer Have A Bottom Line

“Miss Xue?” Madam Wen Lai immediately recalled that the Xue family was also a wealthy family. They had been perfumers for generations and were also one of the sponsors of this perfume compet.i.tion. They were also one of the eight permanent judges. Hence, the Xue family’s weight in the perfume compet.i.tion could not be underestimated. Hence, her tone softened a little. “Miss Xue, feel free to speak.”

Xue Yi nodded and said seriously, “Xi Xi and I grew up together. Her perfume skills have obtained the recognition of everyone in the Xue family, so I felt that something was wrong when she was suddenly eliminated. I investigated in private and realized a problem.”

She paused for a moment and glanced coldly at Kang Qingzhi before continuing, “Xi Xi’s opponent signed up to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion, but she didn’t hand in her work. According to the rules of the compet.i.tion, those who didn’t hand in their work will be deemed to have automatically forfeited. Xi Xi should’ve advanced, but Xi Xi was eliminated in the end.

“Young Master Kang, don’t you think there’s something wrong with this?”

Kang Jichuan frowned. Why was Xue Yi always targeting him? He was not the one who caused Xi Xi to be eliminated. Why was she asking him?

Before Kang Jichuan could say anything, Madam Wen Lai asked with a gloomy expression, “Miss Xue, are you sure that the other party advanced without submitting their work?”

Xue Yi nodded without hesitation.

Madam Wen Lai’s expression darkened even more, but she did not notice that Kang Qingzhi was trembling in fear and had lowered her eyes guiltily.

Xue Yi continued, “Madam Wen Lai, our Xue family is also a sponsor of the perfume compet.i.tion. Such a thing will have a bad impact on the compet.i.tion, so I’ve already sent someone to investigate. We’ll have the results soon. Although we already have evidence, the other party’s ident.i.ty is a little special. It’s not convenient for me to say it now.”

When Madam Wen Lai heard this, she berated angrily, “If someone really broke the rules of the International Perfume Compet.i.tion, I definitely won’t tolerate it no matter who that person is! Miss Xue, please say the names of that person and those judges who were bribed!”

Xue Yi looked at Kang Jichuan with mockery and raised an eyebrow. “Young Master Kang, do you think I should tell Madam Wen Lai?”

Everyone in the Kang family was instantly stunned. Kang Jichuan did not understand why Xue Yi kept mentioning him. What did this have to do with him?

“Miss Xue, what exactly do you mean?” Kang Jichuan’s expression darkened, and his gentle face rarely revealed anger.

Kang Jichuan had an excellent upbringing and was unwilling to bicker with a woman like Xue Yi. However, how could he be asked about the perfume compet.i.tion?

The atmosphere fell into a deadlock for a moment. After a moment of silence, Gu Zheng broke the silence first. His voice was low and hoa.r.s.e. “Since Young Master Kang doesn’t understand, Miss Xue, just say it. There’s no need to worry.”

Xue Yi replied, then said with a smile, “Alright! I originally wanted to save Young Master Kang some dignity on account of Xi Xi, but now that I think about it, there’s no need. I know that Young Master Kang and Master Kang are biased toward their adopted daughter, but I didn’t expect you to have no bottom line for the sake of the family’s adopted daughter.”

Kang Qingzhi gritted her teeth and panicked. She originally thought that Qiao Xi would let the matter rest after being eliminated. Unexpectedly, she had Xue Yi by her side. Moreover, the Xue family’s status in the perfume compet.i.tion was very high, so it was not difficult to investigate this matter.

She reminded herself repeatedly in her heart that she had to calm down and not expose herself!

At this moment, Kang Jichuan’s expression was gloomy. In his opinion, Xi Xi was eliminated because she was not capable enough, but she actually suspected that her opponent was faking it. She was clearly a sore loser!

Kang Jichuan tried his best to suppress the surging emotions in his heart. Xi Xi was his biological sister, after all. He could not berate her in public, so he could only vent his anger on Xue Yi. He roared angrily. “Miss Xue, I know you’re dissatisfied with me because of the matter of the room. It’s my fault for not considering Xi Xi, but this perfume compet.i.tion—”

Before she could finish, Xue Yi took out her cell phone and played a recording.

The person in charge said, “Miss Xue, we realized that Miss Qiao’s opponent didn’t submit her work. Logically speaking, her opponent should have been eliminated during the audition, but not only did this person advance in the compet.i.tion, but she also eliminated Miss Qiao. I’ve already sent someone to investigate this matter. I believe we’ll have results soon.”

Xue Yi said, “In that case, the person who should’ve advanced according to the rules of the compet.i.tion is Xi Xi, but the other party secretly manipulated things, causing Xi Xi to be eliminated.”

The person in charge said, “Yes… Yes.”

Xue Yi said, “Investigate who Xi Xi’s opponent is. I have reason to suspect that they bribed the judges.”
