Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Novel - Chapter 1490

1490 Threatened By A Chef

After the young man greeted Qiao Xi, he said something to Gu Zheng. This meant that in the eyes of this usher, Qiao Xi’s identity was even nobler than Gu Zheng’s.

Qiao Xi crossed her arms and looked at the two of them coldly. “Old Madam Kang, you haven’t even figured out the situation yet and you already concluded that I caused you to be rejected. If it’s really because of me, why didn’t Fragrance Hotel stop me but insisted on stopping you?”

As soon as she finished speaking, a middle-aged man walked out of Fragrance Hotel. He was wearing the clothes of a chef.

He was Fan Cang, the apprentice of the top chef, Su Dongjun. When he saw Qiao Xi standing at the door, he immediately went forward and said with pleasant surprise, “Miss Qiao, why aren’t you going in?! I just developed a few new dishes. They’re still hot after being prepared. They’re all in the private room!”

!!
Kang Ru’s eyes instantly widened when he heard this. The chef of Fragrance Hotel was an apprentice of a top chef, so why was he so respectful to Qiao Xi?

Only then did Fan Cang realize that the atmosphere was not right. He asked in confusion, “Miss Qiao, what’s wrong?”

Qiao Xi smiled at him. “It’s not a big deal. It’s just that some people suspect that I’ve offended the boss of Fragrance Hotel. Do you think that’s possible?”

Fan Cang was extremely shocked and replied loudly and generously, “Of course not! Even the boss can’t wait for you to come to Fragrance Hotel for a meal. How could you have offended our boss? Who has the guts to spread rumors behind his back? I’ll tell the boss and let him settle it!”

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at Kang Ru.

Kang Ru instantly panicked. He had a noble status, and everyone in Romulan City had to be polite to him. However, now that he was in Li City, he was actually threatened by a chef.

Old Madam Kang, who was at the side, also came back to her senses. Her eyes were bloodshot as she roared angrily. “Qiao Xi! Who are you kidding?! This person must be—”

“This old madam keeps insisting that I offended the boss of Fragrance Hotel, which is why the usher at the door rejected them.” Qiao Xi raised her head.

Fan Cang looked at Kang Ru and Old Madam Kang and instantly reacted. “Are the two of you Mr. Kang Ru and Madam Liang Chunyu?”

Everyone could tell that there would be a twist in the situation and was filled with curiosity.

Fan Cang seemed to understand the situation now, and his eyes were filled with disdain. “Actually, it’s not just the two of you who have been blacklisted by Fragrance Hotel. Our boss has ordered that no one in the Kang family is allowed to enter Fragrance Hotel. You know what you’ve done. Don’t look for trouble with Miss Qiao!”

When everyone heard this, they were even more curious. Someone could not help but say, “What did they do to make the boss of Fragrance Hotel so disgusted?”

“Old Madam Kang cursed at Miss Qiao the first time they met. It seems that she’s not very cultured! Could it be that she did something wrong and doesn’t dare to admit it, so she deliberately wanted Miss Qiao to take the blame?!”

Old Madam Kang was so angry that her face was ashen. She had never been slandered like this before. She shouted at everyone, “Shut up! I just came to Li City today. It’s impossible for me to have offended the boss of Fragrance Hotel!”

Fan Cang snorted. “I’m just a chef. That’s all I know. However… instead of making things difficult for Miss Qiao, why don’t you go home and ask the daughter of the Kang family, Kang Qingzhi? Perhaps she’ll know the reason!”

The moment that was said, everyone understood. The person who had really offended the boss of Fragrance Hotel was Kang Qingzhi!

Kang Ru’s and Old Madam Kang’s expressions changed drastically. Their arrogance from before had also been extinguished. What did this have to do with Qingzhi?

Old Madam Kang’s expression was complicated. Everyone’s disdainful gazes made her extremely angry. “What nonsense are you talking about?! Qingzhi is weak and sickly. She rarely goes out. Moreover, she’s kind-hearted. She wouldn’t have offended—”

“Mother! Stop talking!” When Kang Ru saw that the situation was bad, he immediately interrupted Old Madam Kang. Then, he quickly walked in front of Qiao Xi and said softly, “Xi Xi, your grandmother was just rash just now. She’s your elder, after all. Don’t mind her.”

Qiao Xi glanced at him indifferently. Gu Zheng, who was at the side, said coldly, “Since she’s an elder, she has to set an example. Old Madam Kang cursed Xi Xi the first time she saw her. Now that she realizes that it’s a misunderstanding, she’s forcing Xi Xi to forgive her?

“Mr. Kang, I told you before that if you don’t care about Xi Xi, we’ll treat each other as strangers and not keep in contact with each other. Anyway, even without the Kang family, I, her husband, dote on her.”

Kang Ru lowered his eyes and was a little flustered. He hurriedly explained, “Mr. Gu, this is just a misunderstanding…”

“Mr. Gu, what’s the point of telling them this? Hurry up and leave with Mrs. Gu!” The person beside him could not stand it anymore and interrupted Kang Ru.
