Chapter 709, Save the Cat

"What do you mean?" Ye Qiyuan didn't understand why Kong Xiyan said that for a moment.

"All your fear and wariness of him comes from your lack of understanding of him and from your family's attitude," Kong Xiyan said. "This is the first time you've met him, right?"

"Yeah." Ye Qiyuan nodded.

"Before he showed up, he had already solved all the problems that the Ye family had faced for so many years. All the unfair treatment you suffered in the past has now had a happy end because of him.

After he appeared, he behaved modestly, politely and gracefully throughout, showing his concern and care for the Ye family.

This is different from the long-standing impression your family has left on you. The strong and impactful contrast creates a contradiction between your memory and cognition. This contradiction prompts you to start making excuses for his behavior. You are eager to see more advantages in him to prove that everything in the past was wrong.

The person in front of you is more in line with your own perception.

In the field of film screenwriting, there is a term called "save the cat". By having the protagonist do a small beautiful or kind thing at the beginning of the movie, such as saving a cat, the protagonist can quickly establish an emotional connection with the audience and promote audience resonance.

What Ye Yunsheng did today was to 'save the cat,' and in fact, he was quite successful. You are shaken."

"But...but what he did for the Ye family was real." Ye Qiyuan thought of those checks.

"But even without him, the Ye family has made it step by step, right?" Kong Xiyan smiled: "Who do you think forced the Ye family to transform?

If the Ye family had not gone into business but was still making great progress in the education sector, would anyone dare to tamper with your speech manuscript concerning your admission qualification?

If they want to let it go, the Ye family will agree. Will you continue to endure it?

Moreover, Ye Yunsheng demonstrated his outstanding abilities today, making everyone bow down to the Ye family. You regard him as the Ye family's umbrella of protection.

But if one day, Ye Yunsheng openly turns against the Ye family and draws a clear line between them, what do you think those people who came here today will do, and what will the future of the Ye family be like?

Ye Yunsheng appears as the protective umbrella of the Ye family, but if you remove his current presence, you will find that there is no wind or rain outside at all.

I've seen this kind of psychological tactics since I was a kid."

Meng Xichao is just such a piece of junk.

Now, Kong Xiyan seriously suspected that this set of combos was taught to Meng Xichao by Ye Yunsheng.

After all, Ye Yunsheng was indeed in the photo that Meng Zhihuan took out.

Meng Zhihuan's parents were also fanatical followers of Ye Yunsheng.

At this moment, after being reminded by Kong Xiyan, Ye Qiyuan showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

He almost fell into Ye Yunsheng's trap.

After realizing what was happening, Ye Qiyuan broke out in a cold sweat on his back and a hint of panic appeared in his eyes.

No wonder his parents and aunt looked at him like that when they mentioned this cousin they had never met.

Even if all the people in their family were combined, I'm afraid they wouldn't be as cunning as that cousin alone.

If Kong Xiyan hadn't reminded him, he would have definitely been sold out and still counting money for others.

Just now, he was even wondering if there was any misunderstanding about what happened that year.

Is it possible that my uncle was also being plotted against? Is it possible that...

Look, how scary.

From beginning to end, the cousin never said a word to him, not even a glance at him, but he had already started to find excuses for his cousin.

What's this?

Is it the personal charm that belongs only to my uncle?

Ye Qiyuan couldn't figure it out, but this feeling made him very uncomfortable, even a little frightened.

"Your discomfort right now is normal. This is your psychological mechanism protecting you, commonly known as 'long memory'. The greater the reaction within a controllable range, the better the effect." Kong Xiyan raised her hand and patted Ye Qiyuan: "You can feel uncomfortable by yourself for a while. I have other things to do, so I won't accompany you."

After saying this, Kong Xiyan turned around and went straight upstairs.

"Ms. Kong." Ye Qiyuan called Kong Xiyan: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Kong Xiyan waved her hand and went upstairs.

"that……"

"Hmm?" Kong Xiyan stopped and turned to look at him: "Anything else?"

"Can I, can I call you Xiyan?" Ye Qiyuan's smile was a little shy.

Mo Ya, who was eavesdropping at the corner of the escalator, suddenly widened her eyes: "Oh~"

Turning her head, Mo Ya looked at Luo Zhenxuan, who had a grim expression on his face, and blinked.

She just said it! Eavesdropping can hear serious things!

Look! How exciting!

Luo Zhenxuan's face darkened and he first glanced at Mo Ya, then looked downstairs.

"Sure, just call me." Kong Xiyan nodded.

When Ye Qiyuan heard Kong Xiyan's reply, a smile appeared on his face and his brows relaxed.

Luo Zhenxuan's brows slowly furrowed.

Only Mo Ya was shaking with excitement, as if the vibrator was on.

"You are the grandson of my godmother's second uncle. Since we have this relationship, you can call me whatever you want." Kong Xiyan waved her hand and went upstairs.

The expression on Ye Qiyuan's face froze, but Luo Zhenxuan curled the corners of his lips.

"Tsk." Mo Ya shook her head regretfully. She thought there was something interesting to watch, but what a woman who didn't understand romance!

She, the great Saint Moya, strongly condemned Kong Xiyan's behavior that severely hurt the innocent love of the young boy!

Before Mo Ya could finish her mental condemnation, she felt a pain in her ears: "Aiya!"

"Eavesdropping again?" Kong Xiyan grabbed Mo Ya's ear and said, "Did I ever tell you not to eavesdrop? Huh?"

"It wasn't me, it was Luo Lao San who took me to eavesdrop!" Mo Ya quickly passed the blame.

"Luo Lao San? Where is he?"

"Isn't he right there... huh? Where is he?" Mo Ya turned around and found that Luo Zhenxuan had disappeared without a trace: "Luo Lao San! You are so disloyal! Ouch! It hurts!"

"Looks like I have to teach you a lesson tonight. Come with me!"

"It hurts! Be gentle, be gentle..."

At the other corner, Luo Zhenxuan chuckled. This was quite interesting.

Kong Xiyan glanced at the corner and snorted.

This Luo Lao San doesn't even know how to keep an eye on Mo Ya. He just spoils her and lets her do whatever she wants.

She turned around and went to deal with that guy.

Now, we have to deal with this little devil first!

Mo Ya protested in vain and begged for mercy, then was severely beaten up. Finally, she fell asleep rubbing her little butt in grievance.

After dealing with Mo Ya, Kong Xiyan did not let Luo Zhenxuan go: "Luo Lao San, you ignored Mo Ya and even played with her."

"She's just curious, so let her practice her courage."

"What isn't she curious about? Does she need to build up her courage?" Kong Xiyan's mouth twitched: "Don't forget the first time we met her."

Such a small girl dared to board that ship alone.

He was not afraid at all when facing Kong Xiyan and Luo Zhenxuan, two suspicious people who suddenly appeared.

Afterwards, he dared to come to China alone and blackmail them.

"After all, half of Mo Ya's blood is from the Ye family. I thought of letting her meet Ye Yunsheng in advance, at least to recognize his face." Luo Zhenxuan said: "When she sees him in the future, she will know to run away."

"That's a good thought, don't think about it next time."
