The South City's richest Zhong family had doted on their beloved daughter for seventeen years, only to find they had doted on the wrong person!
Word had it that the true daughter, Kong Xi...
Chapter 58: Viruses are ruthless, but people are kind. Call 120 immediately.
While people were talking about life and death in the live broadcast room, everyone here had already sat around the table.
The table, which was just right before, suddenly became a little crowded after two people came in.
"Let's eat." After Kong Xiyan said this, everyone started to eat.
"The stewed beef brisket with tomatoes is absolutely amazing! I can eat two bowls with rice!" Cheng Yue praised Qin Siyang's stewed beef brisket with tomatoes, and the latter showed a shy smile.
"The cold beef is also delicious." Zhong Yangyang quite likes the refreshing cold beef. Coriander is indeed the soul of the dish.
Chu Xiaoxiao was dissatisfied with Qin Siyang and his sister being praised by everyone, and immediately recommended herself: "This mushroom is really delicious. Village Chief Xiao Kong is really good at ordering! I have never eaten mushrooms this delicious before!"
She made this by blanching it in water, praise her!
"The mushrooms here are all good." Everyone has eaten mushrooms several times in the past few days. They were fried yesterday and had them in chicken noodle soup this morning. Now, looking at the mushrooms blanched in water, they have no desire to pick up their chopsticks.
"As long as everyone likes to eat it, that's fine. Later, I will ask the villagers to open an online agricultural product store. After you have enjoyed it, you can help recommend it outside and boost the economy of our village." Kong Xiyan smiled.
"Okay, okay. I'll have Cheng's people contact you and set up a special line for you!" Cheng Ze made an OK gesture, obviously he was very satisfied with the agricultural products here.
The Chu brothers and sisters, who originally wanted to curry favor with Cheng Ze to ask for resources for them, looked much uglier when they saw Kong Xiyan easily secure the resources.
Chu Xiaoxiao, who hadn't received any praise, was even more dissatisfied. She rolled her eyes at Zhong Yangyang, smiled, and said, "Yangyang, I remember you and I were both taking the exam this year, right? How were your grades? I didn't do very well this time. I barely made it into the top 50 in Beijing."
"That's a good result." Qin Siyang looked at Chu Xiaoxiao: "Very impressive!"
"She was careless. She usually ranks in the top 20 in the joint exam. She cried for a long time after the results came out." Chu Lizheng smiled faintly, glanced at Zhong Qihan, and then looked at Zhong Yangyang: "Yangyang looks smart, she must have done very well in the exam."
"It's okay." Zhong Yangyang laughed dryly.
"She is the top student in Nancheng." Qin Muyu said, "I saw it on the news." After saying this, Qin Muyu looked at Kong Xiyan again.
In the news, Kong Xiyan was right next to Zhong Yangyang, yawning lazily, and the two seemed to be very familiar with each other.
"Nan, the number one scholar in Nancheng..." Chu Xiaoxiao was surprised when she heard the voice. She didn't expect Zhong Yangyang to be such a good student.
But then I thought, the Zhong family is the richest family in South City. Wouldn’t it be enough to find ten or eight gold medal teachers to give Zhong Yangyang tutoring?
Isn't it a sure thing for him to get the top score in the South City exam? How can it be the same as someone like her who relies entirely on her own efforts!
Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoxiao felt much better.
Unable to find a balance with Zhong Yangyang, she turned her gaze to Qin Muyu: "You seem to be about the same age as us, and in the same class, right? How did you do in the exam?"
"I didn't take the college entrance examination." Qin Muyu shook his head.
"How can that be possible? She still needs to go to school at such a young age. Is it because of poor grades? Or is there some other reason? Don't listen to those online rants about the uselessness of studying. Learning is what's most important!" Chu Lizheng found a topic and immediately launched into a long speech. Finally, he praised his sister: "Xiaoxiao has loved studying since she was little. I can't stop her from studying."
"My brother didn't drop out of school. He was admitted to Jingcheng University in advance." Qin Siyang explained with a faint smile: "That's why he didn't take the college entrance examination."
Hearing Qin Siyang say this, the Chu Lizheng siblings' expressions instantly turned ugly, and in the end they could only stammer and say, "Very impressive."
Chu Xiaoxiao felt upset. The achievement she was most proud of seemed like garbage when compared to theirs. She had originally planned to create a fairy-like persona who was good at everything and make a perfect debut through this variety show!
Chu Xiaoxiao, who was already feeling unwell, looked at the dishes on the table. Only her boiled mushrooms were left untouched. She felt uncomfortable and started eating the mushrooms in big mouthfuls.
Chu Lizheng was also feeling uncomfortable. He glanced at Zhong Qihan secretly and reached out his chopsticks to pick up the mushrooms that few people were eating.
"Why don't you ask me?" Cheng Yue looked around: "I'm almost the same as you guys!"
"What about you?" Zhong Yangyang asked out of courtesy.
"I'm taking the college entrance exam next year, and my goal is to get into Beijing University!" Cheng Yue gave a thumbs up: "Don't look at me like this, my grades are pretty good!"
"Good luck then." Zhong Yangyang nodded. "If you need review notes, I have some over there. I can give them to you."
"Thank you, I didn't expect you to be such a nice person!" Cheng Yue smiled at Zhong Yangyang upon hearing the voice. She wanted the notes of the top scholar in Nancheng!
"I think the village chief looks about the same age as you guys." Cheng Ze looked at Kong Xiyan and said, "Village chief, how old are you?"
"Me?" Kong Xiyan glanced at Zhong Yangyang and smiled subtly, "It's a bit rude to ask a lady's age!"
"But you look really young. You're the village chief..." Cheng Ze chuckled, "You're pretty good at maintaining yourself!"
Zhong Yangyang pursed her lips and lowered her head slightly when she heard the voice, trying not to laugh out loud.
At this time, there was a sound of dishes colliding. Everyone looked over and saw Chu Xiaoxiao, who had been eating mushrooms, suddenly climbed onto the table using all four limbs, and then began to grab handfuls of vegetables with her hands and stuffed them into her mouth.
The way he ate voraciously looked like a starving ghost, which was really scary.
Everyone was stunned by this and immediately turned to look at Chu Lizheng, hoping he would take care of his sister. However, they saw Chu Lizheng staring into the air with hazy eyes. He then climbed onto the table with his hands and feet, and threw a series of punches towards the sky with a sinister expression.
"Fuck, what's wrong with them?" Cheng Ze grabbed Cheng Yue, who was stunned, and hid behind him.
"Yangyang, be careful." Zhong Qihan quickly protected Zhong Yangyang behind him, frowning.
Here, Qin Muyu also pulled her sister away from the table.
Everyone looked at the brother and sister at the table. One of them was stuffing food into his mouth frantically, while the other was punching wildly with a fierce look on his face, as if he had provoked some dirty creature!
"Poisoned." Kong Xiyan glanced at the plate of blanched mushrooms on the table: "They didn't cook the mushrooms well enough."
As she said that, Kong Xiyan was about to go forward to provide treatment, but when she glanced at the circle of filming machines, Kong Xiyan held back and just asked the director team to call 120 quickly.
Afterwards, the Chu siblings were tied to stretchers and sent to an ambulance.
Before being sent to the ambulance, Chu Xiaoxiao opened her mouth wide, as if she wanted to eat something, while Chu Lizheng gritted his teeth and struggled constantly. The brother and sister looked horrifying.
After the brother and sister were taken away by the ambulance, everyone else had completely lost their appetite and helped to clean up the mess at the scene.
The director is so confused. Why isn't any of these guests worry-free?
"Village chief, Village Chief Kong! Say a few words!" The chief director looked at Kong Xiyan for help. If there was no suitable summary for today's filming, it would be really embarrassing.
"Oh, okay." Kong Xiyan made an OK gesture, raised her hand to tidy up her hair towards the camera, and then curled her lips and said, "Bacteria and viruses are ruthless, but people are kind. Call 120 immediately!
If you cook the food for two or three seconds less, you will be poisoned and hospitalized!
Although mushrooms are delicious, don’t be too greedy for fresh ones!
With Kong Xiyan's closing remarks, the matter came to an end on the set, but it completely fermented on the Internet.
Even major official websites reposted the ugly photos of the Chu siblings suffering from mushroom poisoning during the live broadcast, reminding netizens: It’s mushroom season again, so everyone should be careful to guard against wild mushroom poisoning!
That night, Chu Xiaoxiao woke up slowly and never thought that she would be on the hot search in this way and enter the public's field of vision, which completely broke her defenses.
She burst into tears, feeling that all the efforts she had made for so many years, not daring to eat or drink, and carefully maintaining her figure, even down to the exquisiteness of every hair, were in vain!
Meanwhile, in Chu Lizheng's ward, a man in a neat suit sat beside the bed, his fox eyes half-smiling. "Mr. Chu, what have you thought about the proposal I made earlier regarding Zhong Qihan?"
